Past ghost 17
The next morning Mac wanted to go home. Mac didn't like to be in hospital. Stella was supporting Mac but not letting him win. Stella said: "Mac, my love, I will be with you while you are here. I know you don't like hospitals but you need to think, Mac, it is only good for your health." Mac said: "Stella, I am OK, no more pain. I just need to get out of here. Stella, I want to be with you and do a little work to. I am the boss of the crime lab." Stella said with a serious voice: "No, Mac, you just had surgery on your shoulder, if I'm not mistaken of the right arm. Mac, you need to relax and rest. Mac, it is not a shame to ask for help. I love you, Mac. Don't forget I am your boss until you are completely healthy. Now we wait until your doctor comes and says when you can come home and what you need to do so that healing will not be difficult. Now Mac, you try to sleep some more. I won't go anywhere and the team promised to come visit you today." Mac said: "Ok, Stella, you win, for now. I love you too, Stella." Mac sensed that he needed more sleep. My eyes are so heavy. It is difficult to keep them open. Stella was whispering: "Mac, I love you too, now sleep like a baby, have good dreams." Stella kissed Mac and was watching how Mac was sleeping and on his face was a smile. What is Mac thinking; it has been a long time since Mac smiled so sweetly.
Mac was still sleeping when Dr. Carlson came to visit her patient Mac Taylor. Stella was greeting the doctor. Dr. Carlson was looking at Mac and asking Stella how Mac was. Stella said: "Mac wants to go home. He doesn't like hospitals. I can help Mac; give him all my support, not just with everyday necessary things." Dr. Carlson was near Mac and checking his vitals and said: "Mac's vitals are normal, when he wakes up I'll check his shoulder wound, if there is no infection then he can go home. Stella, I'll give you directions for tomorrow and medicines he must take to ease his pain. Now I have to go, other patients are waiting for my visit. I'll come again later and look at his shoulder wound." Stella said: "Thank you, Dr. Carlson. I'll be waiting and hope everything is alright and it will be good news for Mac if he can go home tomorrow." Dr. Carlson said: "It is good news that Mac is alive. I'll come back later and see how his shoulder is and his condition. Then I can tell you exactly if he needs to stay in hospital longer or if he can go home."
It was later, in the afternoon. Mac was not sleeping. He was talking with Stella when suddenly the door opened and Danny and Lindsay came in. Danny said: "Hi Stella and hi Mac! How are you?" Mac answered as usual: "Hi Danny and Lindsay; I am fine." Mac noticed that Lindsay had a gift in her hand and somehow Lindsay is different. There's something in the air. She seems bigger like, no it can't be that she is pregnant. Lindsay said to Danny: "Danny, it is time to tell Mac and give him his present." Danny was a little nervous. Mac said: "Danny, Lindsay, is something wrong?" Danny gave Mac the present and said: "Mac, open the gift then we tell you and it is good news." Mac was now anxious to open his gift. It was difficult to open with only one hand to use. Stella saw Mac had problems with opening the present. Stella was walking to Mac and helping Mac open his gift. Danny and Lindsay were watching how Mac and Stella dealt with opening the present. Mac's eyes glowed with curiosity like a little child's. Lindsay was whispering in Danny's ear: "Danny, they belong together. It is a really cute scene. Now it's time to tell Mac. Danny, are you ready? That we tell Mac the news together." Danny was answering: "Yes Lindsay, we are ready to tell Mac the news that you are carrying my baby and we will be parents." Now the gift was opened with Stella's help and Mac was surprised. Mac was looking at Lindsay and Danny confused. Stella was smiling. Mac was holding a teddy bear. Now was the time to tell. Danny began: "Mac, we need to tell you something and it is important. Mac, Lindsay is pregnant with my child." Mac was silent for a moment, smiling and then said: "Congratulations, Danny and Lindsay, I am happy. It is the best news of today." Lindsay and Danny were hugging Mac now. Lindsay was saying: "We have one request from you both. We made the decision that we want you, Mac and Stella, to be our child's godparents." Mac and Stella were looking at each other. Stella said: "Mac, what you think?" Mac and Stella said YES to each other through their eyes. Mac answered: "Lindsay and Danny, we are both touched to be the godparents of your child." Lindsay and Danny said at the same time: "Thank you, Mac and Stella." Danny said: "Mac, you can have a little practice now, learn to play with your teddy bear and I think Stella will make you a father one day." Mac answered: "Danny, I am not a child who plays with a teddy bear." Stella said: "Lindsay, Danny, it is an excellent gift for Mac." Stella was laughing and so were Danny and Lindsay. Mac was glaring at Stella, then Lindsay and Danny. Stella saw Mac was serious and sleepy, and she said: "Mac, take it easy and relax. I love you. Lindsay, Danny, it was good seeing you both but Mac needs rest now. See you later." Lindsay said: "We understand. Mac, get well soon. We are happy that you both agreed. Danny, let's go. Bye."
Now there were only Mac and Stella. Stella said: "Mac, rest now. It is alright. I am not going anywhere. But, Mac, if I'm suddenly not here you have the little gift that Lindsay and Danny brought. Mac, remember me like I am that teddy bear and all will be alright. When you are lonely embrace that teddy bear and think that I am with you and you are not lonely anymore. Later Dr. Carlson will visit you and when it goes well you can go home tomorrow. Now sleep, Mac!" Stella kissed Mac and squeezed his hand. Stella was tired too. Unnoticed Stella was sleeping and dreamed that Mac is a wonderful and caring father and husband, I love him with all my heart and soul and Mac was sleeping cuddling his teddy bear. Mac had a dream of Stella as a beautiful and caring wife and mother. I love her and will be with her forever. They are a happy family!
