This last chapter is for Magentasnightmare and I forgot to post it here I don't know why. She needed some closure and since she is the primary reason this and all of my stories even see the light of day, and she is my very best friend she gets what she wants. Now, this is really, really fluffy, if you prefer the end of this story to be Mac going berserk and killing everyone, wreaking havoc on Devon and Regina which we all know he does in the movie, do not read this epilogue. However, if you, like Magenta needed something more, then read on my friend, but you will get diabetes from this last chapter.
Chapter Text/
When I had you to myself
I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always made you stand out in a crowd
But someone picked you from the bunch
One glance was all it took
Now it's much too late for me to take a second look
Oh baby give me one more chance
(show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me
(back in your heart)
Oh, baby, I was blind to let you go
(let you go, baby)
But now since I see you in his arms
(I want you back)
Yes I do now
(I want you back)
Tryin' to live without your love
Is one long sleepless night
Let me show you, girl
That I know wrong from right
Every street you walk on
I leave tear stains on the ground
Following the girl
I didn't even want around
Let me tell you now
Oh baby all I need is one more chance
(show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me
(back to your heart)
Oh darlin' I was blind to let you go
(let you go, baby)
But now since I see you in his arms, I want you back

It should have said Garcia, her name was Lucy Luanardi-Garcia.
The doctor said six weeks if he was lucky, the cancer was advanced, lung cancer of course. A lifetime of abusing his body had finally caught up with him. But it was OK, he was sixty-four, more than ready to join her. There was just enough time to fix her stone; it now read Lucy Luanardi- Garcia, the way it should have long ago.
That night Mac laid down on the bed and put the needle in his arm until he nodded off.
When Mac opened his eyes again he was laying in the hammock in his backyard and she was there in his arms. Lucy reached up and ran her hands through his hair and he pulled her close to him. He looked up and there were a million stars in the sky like there always had been for them. Then he looked back at her sweet face.
They were young again, and he couldn't believe it; he turned breathed her scent in and took her hand in his. In the moonlight, he could make out the gold ring on her left hand and one on his, and she looked like she did so long ago when he first looked at her in the moonlight when he was a very young man.
"Lucy, is it really you?"
She nodded.
"It's really me and it's really you." Her face was bright and smiling.
"Is this heaven ?"
"It's our heaven Mac, and I've been waiting for you a long time."
"I'm sorry it took me so long to get here, had shit to do." He said softly.
"It's ok, you're here now and that's all that matters."
"I missed you so much Luce," He pulled her close to him, and for the first time in so many years, he was at peace.
"I missed you too Mac." She brought her hands to his face and stared into his eyes.
"Do we get to be together forever?"
"Forever," She answered, "I love you in and out of time."
"I always loved you more," He replied.
