First met, love at first sight?

Mac smiled, he then kissed her passionately

Lily smiled in answer to his kiss, and she had to stop.

-Tongue? Really? You have our girl sleeping on your chest.

She smiled amused

Mac was being loving to her

Lily continued to kiss him, she just wanted to cuddle and kiss him. The next day, there were buying new clothes to her daughter.

Mac held Isabella close to him, she was such a happy little girl

Lily had two teddy in her hands, she looked at Isabella and asked:

-Who would you like to have Mr. Bear or Mr. Rabbit?

Isabella thought for a minute and she reached out for Mr.Rabbit, even Mac smiled at that

Lily laughed to see their girl choose his teddy.

-Ha there I see myself in you.

They were then go to the clothing. Some think they watching too spoiled their child, but Lily did not care.

Mac knew that too, when they got back home, there was a box for Mac, he froze when he saw that the senders were, Daniel and Lori Conrad...

Lily arranged the purchased clothes and saw that Mac was in shock seeing a package for him.

-You okay babe?

"Just surprised", Mac said as he then opend the box to find some stuff that had belonged to Claire and a letter telling him that they knew about Lily and were disgusted with him for tarnishing Claire's memory, Mac kept his anger at bay for the sake of his daughter Isabella

-What's all this stuff?

"It's Claire's stuff" , Mac told her as he looked through it and found some things that had been hidden for so long

Lily felt something by seeing things from Claire. Jealousy? No, but she did not know was what.

-Oh, okay...and what's this letter?

Mac shrugged

Lily smiled softly and knew he would not talk about. She took her handbag to go grocery shopping. She wondered why he never spoke of Claire with her.

Mac found it hard to talk about Claire

Lily was back with supplies, Isabella was in Messer.

-In the living room! she said as if she had returned with someone

She saw Mac and she said to him also to go to the living room. He could see who was there stella confused, she did not know why Lily was angry.

-Okay, I think I have the right to know everything now. Mac This morning you received a package, things of Claire, and you tell me nothing. You've never talked about it, and I want to know. I'll be able to help you with your pain.

She saw Stella who stood up not wanting to be in a couple's argument.

-Sit Stella!And you! My best friend, you also tell me nothing about Claire. I thought she was like a sister to you!

Lily watched the two raising arms.

-So I can know myself to be able to help you ?!

Mac sighed and he took her hands and he sits her down, then tells her

"I find it hard to talk about Claire, she was someone who I loved so much, when she died on 9/11 it was hard, I'd work all hours and not go home, I miss Claire everyday and I have a feeling that she lead me to you Lily, I want to make you happy"

-But you make me happy Mac. I just want to get to know this woman who sent you to me. I want to know who she was, because I know it would be better for you, I mean...when you feel sad, i want you to talk about her. September is soon and I will not even see the two people I love to be in their bubble and tell me anything.

Lily thought back to what Mac had said:

-You Really worked day and night?

She understood by seeing how Stella nodded.

-So is Daniel and Lori Conrad? Why they said you tarnishing Claire's memory.

-They said what?! said her friend

-What? Who are they?

-Claire's parent...even after his tragic death they continue to criticize their lives.

Lily looked Stell, she knew she would speak moor then Mac. But she stopped talking not wanting to say too much about privacy as Mac had with Claire. Then the two girls looked at Mac, as if they were waiting for approval.

Mac nodded

Lily looked at Stella, she began to tell her everything from the beginning. How Mac and Claire had met, they were married at the age of 21. The argument that it creates with Claire's family. The fact that their daughter has married a marine, according to them he would never return home or remain faithful to his wife being away from New York.It took one hour summary on the life of her fiancé by Stella, but she was glad to learn about it. Later they were alone, no baby with them. Lily looked at Mac, smiling.

-You got married at 21! Wow! And you're so romantic to propose Claire on the chrysler building rooftop.

Mac nodded, he wrapped both arms around her, he loved Lily, he had been thinking of how he was gonna make their wedding special, Mac loved Lily and their baby girl...

Lily kissed lovingly her boyfriend, she caressed the tip of his nose with his.

-Hey, we don't have a baby with us tonight. What do you say to a nice hot bath, with candles.

Mac nodded in agreement
