Chapter 8 and the last chapter is up!!! I can't believe this is over already, but like I said, Becca will be a recurring character in a lot of my stories, in fact, she already is in "Night Of Karaoke" but I'm working on some more that will hopefully be posted soon! We'll have some SMacked goodness in here, but not before Stella and Becca have some bonding time! Then we'll end with Sheldon/Becca romance! So, enough of me, ENJOY!!!

"Did they hurt you, Becca?" Stella asked her sister softly, who was curled up by the wall.

"No. Just scared the hell out of me." Becca said shakily, and Stella held out a trembling hand, just as she would to a victim. But her hand was trembling because this victim was her sister, her own flesh and blood.

"Do you need a medic?" Stella managed to ask, despite her own dry throat, and Becca shook her head.

This is when Mac and Sheldon raced into the alley, but they held back, entranced as they watched the two sisters.

Stella carefully scooted closer to Becca and said, "Take my hand, Becca. Let me help you, okay?"

Becca's scared eyes met Stella's, and she nodded, taking Stella's hand. Stella stood up and pulled Becca into a tight hug, and Becca clung to her sister, sobs wracking her normally so strong frame.

"It'll be okay, Becca. It will." Stella whispered, closing her eyes against the threatening tears.

"I just want Sheldon." Becca whispered, and Stella had to smile. Her sister couldn't find a better man than Sheldon Hawkes.

"Becca?" Sheldon's tortured voice rang out. Becca and Stella looked over, and Becca slipped out of Stella's arms with a grateful glance at Stella, and ran over to Sheldon, who pulled her close and buried his face in her hair, as Becca buried her face in Sheldon's neck, trying not to cry.

Sheldon carefully stroked her back and said quietly, "It's okay, Becca, it's okay. I'm not going anywhere." Becca's eyes streamed as she sobbed silently into Sheldon's neck. Sheldon lifted his face up, and his eyes met Stella's.

"Thank you." He said quietly, ands he nodded, blinking back her own tears. Sheldon carefully pulled Becca out of the alley.

Stella wiped her left eye quickly and sniffed once before going to wipe her other eye, but a gentle hand beat her to it. She opened her eyes to see Mac standing there, a concerned look on his face. "I'm fine, Mac." She said quickly, and Mac raised an eyebrow, saying,

"Famous last words." His hand brushed over a cut across her cheek, and she shrugged, saying,

"Just a scratch." Mac shook his head at Stella, and then dropped his hand, saying,

"Need a ride?"

"I walked here, I'll walk back." She replied quietly with a gentle smile, and Mac said,

"I've got a car." Rain began to drizzle down and Stella looked up, smiling.

"Working with Lindsey all of these years, I've come to enjoy rain walks."

"Then I'll accompany you." Mac said gently, and Stella looked at him a little oddly.

"You okay, Mac?" She asked as they began to walk, and he put his hand on the small of her back as he said,

"I just, if something happened to you, like it happened to Becca, I, I just wouldn't know what to do."

Stella tossed him a wide smile as she said, "Mac, that means more to me than you'll ever know."

Meanwhile, Sheldon took Becca back to her apartment, and she was shivering by the time Sheldon made some tea, as that was what he hoped would calm her nerves a little bit. Sheldon set the tea down and sat next to Becca, wrapping his arms around her shoulders. She laid her head on his shoulder and whispered,

"I thought they were going to kill me, and Stella too."

"I know, baby, but they didn't. You're still here, Mac took Stella home, those jerks are locked up, and you, Becca, are safe."

"I know," She said, looking up at him and adding softly, "You make me feel safe."

"Glad to know that, Becca." Sheldon said sincerely, and Becca twitched a smile as she took a sip of her tea. "Did I make your tea as you like it?" Sheldon asked.

"Perfect." Becca breathed, and Sheldon smiled as he pressed his lips to her temple. "Becca?" He whispered, and she said,

"Yeah?"

"This may seem a little bit forward, but,"

"It's okay. Our whole relationship has been forward. I like forward."

"Good." Sheldon said, and she set her tea down and looked him straight in the eyes. "I love you, Becca." He said quietly, and she put her hand gently on her cheek, saying,

"What brought this on?"

"Almost losing you today. Thinking that I was going to lose you today. When I got that call from Mac, I honestly thought the worse, and my mind jumped ahead, and I just can't imagine my life without you anymore. Not anymore." He whispered, and Becca smiled, saying,

"I love you too, Sheldon."

"Good." He said with a sly smile, and Becca asked,

"Why?"

"Because if you didn't…" He said quietly, pulling her face closer. "Then it would be very hard to do this." He pressed his lips to hers, and as she wrapped her arms around his neck tightly and deepened the kiss, Sheldon swept Becca into his arms and carried her to the bedroom.

They had each other. That's all they needed. Now and forever.

The end! I hope you liked this story, and thanks for sticking with me! Now you'll know who Becca is when I use her in my other stories! Thanks so much for reading, and I really hope you liked this story! I wasn't sure if I was writing Sheldon in character or not, since I'm not used to writing stories centered on him! And I hope you liked the little bit of SMacked in here! Well, adios!!!
