Past ghost 20
Mac and Stella were still in the park and walking. Mac was now feeling peaceful put a bit nervous. Mac saw a very old tree with a lot of flowers and green, the sun was shining and spring was in the air, and the selected tree was at some distance with no people around. Mac was thinking it is an ideal place where to rest and talk; I'll tell Stella we make a small stop. Mac now said: "Stella, what do you think we make a small stop, Stella, see there is a seat." Stella said: "Mac, that's a wonderful idea. And a wonderful view, Mac, you really found a great place where to be and to talk." Stella was feeling a change, Mac was more nervous and anxious and it was really important for Mac to talk from his heart and then later it would be easier and more relaxed for Mac.
Now they were sat down and Mac needed to feel Stella's lips on his lips. They were kissing with a lot of hunger. Suddenly Mac stopped and was looking around. Who knew where he was looking but it made no difference. I like to kiss Stella and show I am in love with her and nobody can take away my princess and warrior Stella. I will fight to the death for Stella, she is worth it. Stella is my soul-mate and my destiny now. Before, it was Claire but destiny changed and Claire is in heaven with my daughter. I have to thank God that I have a second chance, to be back and alive and be with my love Stella and the team who is my family. Now is the time to tell her, and I hope it will all be alright. Stella was looking at Mac inquiringly. Not again. I think now Mac will tell me something very important. What is weighing on his heart and burdens him. Not allowing him completely to take it easy and relax. I will not let him down. I support and love him. Nothing will change that. Even Laura cannot destroy our love, and it is even stronger now that she's dead. I will fight and not let Mac give up either, we deserve each other. Mac is my soul-mate and my destiny and the knight on a white horse who I have fallen in love with. With Mac it has not been easy all the time, he can be a bullhead, stubborn and strong willed and carrying through what he begins at all cost, but I am too.
Mac was saying: "Stella, I have to tell you something and to me it is important and I don't want a secret to stand between you and me but I know I have secrets. I promise one day I will tell you. Stella, I hope you understand." Stella was kissing Mac and answered:" I understand you perfectly. I have secrets too but we will work things out. Mac I will be here whenever you want to tell me and I will not leave you. I know Laura hurt you very much with Mark, when you are ready you tell me. I am sorry I didn't show my feelings for you earlier and was dating Mark, but it is now past and Laura and Mark will never come back, I hope they are burning in hell. I will not force you to tell me now because it is hurting you very much and causing bad dreams that change into frightful nightmares, and I know you don't want to go to a counselor. I will help you and support you when you need me, and don't be ashamed to cuddle with your teddy bear when I'm not there when you need me so much. Mac, I will tell you one secret; you know where I grew up, the orphanage. One night I had a very bad dream. I shared a room with another girl. Her name was Anabella. We were good friends, like sisters. That night she was supporting me and woke me up. She was holding something and gave it to me and said: 'Stella, it is all right, it will support you all the time, when you are alone or sad, cuddle it and think of happy times. We will soon be grown up and go separate ways. I wish you good luck and we will be sisters forever.' Mac, it was a guardian angel that Anabella had made for me during handicraft lesson. Mac, I miss her. Anabella had a car accident and is dead."
Now Mac was holding Stella, kissing, talking and supporting her. Stella wept, it was still hurting. Stella was glad she had talked about Anabella with Mac. Mac said: "It was wonderful you had that friend and sister. I am sorry you lost her. I know how you feel. I lost someone too when we were kids. I lost him because I was a coward and didn't shoot the one who was hurting my friend, but it is past now. I am sorry what Andy did to you and I was very close that day to losing you too. Stella, I love you and I never want to lose you. If that happens I do not want to live any longer. Stella, you are the light of my way."
Stella was holding Mac very tight and looking closely into Mac's deep eyes and said: "Stop, Mac, right now. Mac, I am alive and with you and I love you. We both know we have dangerous jobs. Let the past be all past. Remember, Mac, you were not a coward when you were young. I am not going to judge you over what happened in the past. Mac, you are who you are. I accept you and love you. We work together and are a happy family." Stella was kissing and hugging Mac more passionately.
Mac was looking at Stella and said: "Stella, I have to tell you now. I'll start with the past: It was the time before I joined the army. Laura didn't like that I was going. She threatened me, if I left for the army we'd separate and I would not see my child. The week came when I was going to begin my duty for my country. When I left Laura was not there to say goodbye and I knew I had lost her and my unborn child. It was not fair. I hoped when I'd come back she'd understand and forgive me and we'd be a family together, me, Laura and the child. But destiny was different. When I came back home I heard the bad news that there had been a car accident and Laura and the unborn child had died. I was broken, lost, had a terrible heartache. I didn't want to live but it was Claire who helped me back to the living. Claire giving me a new reason to live, healing my heart, and I was falling in love. Stella, I had a child with Laura when I was younger. When I was in Laura's custody she promised if I kill you she'll tell me where my child is, what sex it is, and whether it is still alive or dead. Laura never told me, but Stella, I know where my child is. Stella, when my heart stopped I was in a tunnel and at its end Claire was waiting. I was in heaven. Claire told me to choose and I chose you, Stella. Stella, I saw my child, she is a girl and her name is Karen and I was hugging her the first time and Claire promised to take care of my daughter. Stella, I really miss her. Laura had no right to not tell me what had happened to our child."
Mac was sharing Stella's embrace. Mac was crying on Stella's shoulder. Stella was astonished Mac had a daughter with Laura who seemed the devil himself. Stella was in a tight embrace with Mac and supporting him: "Mac, you had the chance to meet your daughter Karen. I know it is sad, but you have a second chance with me. No matter what, Mac, you have every right to be a father. When we choose to have children I'll be happy to give birth to your and my child. What do you think, Mac?" Mac was looking into Stella's eyes and suddenly kissed her with passion, desire and sparking light. "You know, Stella, you never give up, I am a happy man to be with you and make you the mother of your and my child. Stella, it is like a dream and I don't want to wake up." Stella kissed and hugged him: "Mac, it is wonderful but I think it is time to go home now, you need rest. It was a long day but I am happy you trust me and told me about your daughter Karen. Now it is time to walk on and see what destiny and the future has in store for us, Mac." Mac said: "Stella, you are totally right. I think too that it's time to go home. I love you." Stella answered: "Mac, I love you too. Let's go home." They stood up and kissed and hugged, and holding hands went to the car and drove home.
Two lives, two hearts joined together in friendship, united forever in love.
I will always keep falling in love with you.
