They loved each other. He would have given her the world if he could. But one morning he leaves for his work and never comes back. 4 years later and she is more broken then ever. A single mother and never knowing why he left or where he is. all she...
It's been a few days and MacGyver, Jack, Riley and Bozer have ended up staying with me and Ben. You know for our "safety." It's been awkward between Mac since he found out but I don't care. He can't just turn up at my door and expect everything to be ok. I'm trying to think of what I can do with Ben today. I'm just wandering aimlessly around the house when I bump into Jack. He grabs my arm and drags me to my room. He leaves and comes back with Mac and Ben. "First things first. Do I have your permission as his mother for me to take your child and go buy a puppy?" I opened my mouth but he put his finger up so I closed my mouth again. "Second. You two talk. Don't yell or argue. Talk." I growled. "Yes you can take him to buy a puppy." Ben squealed in delight and high fived Jack. Mac watched me as I gave Jack a coat for Ben and gave him some keys as well. "I'm taking Riley and Bozer too." I glared at him as he left.
"Ashley I'm sorry. I left to protect you." "A goodbye would have been nice at least or for you to listen to your voice mails." He looked at his feet. "I'm sorry." "Yeah you keep saying that." The tears flooded my cheeks and Mac tried to comfort me. I pushed him away and watched as pain took over from the guilt and he started crying too. My heart cracked. Mac doesn't crack. Ever. I sighed and hugged him. Mac will always be my weakness and Ben. Ben more than Mac but still. He held on to me like there was no tomorrow I buried my head in his neck and sobbed. It's a good thing he was holding me because my knees gave way. He kept me upright before sitting us down. We sat there for a while we both stopped crying though. "I'm still mad at you." "I know. As long as I can be here then I'm ok with it." I smiled a little. "So how have you coped." "Well enough. It's nice having you guys to help take care of Ben. Being a single parent can be hard at times." I felt Mac nod. "I love that kid to pieces but I'm so worn out." Mac laughed. "Well we are going to be hanging around for a while. You know until the hit man is out if the country." I frowned. "Why would someone want me dead though?" "Thornton thought it could have been your relationship with me." I groaned and curled up in Mac's side. "Well that sucks. Also if I am woken up before 11 I'm going to be really pissed." He chuckled again. "Of course princess." I smiled and then remembered I was still mad at him. So I decided to sleep. I'm exhausted.
"Awww this is just adorable." I groaned and pushed myself further into my pillow. Then my pillow laughed. Wait not pillow. Mac! Oh my lord. I jumped up and fixed my hair before leaving the room. I saw a dog and screamed out of shock. So would you if a tiny furry thing just popped up out of nowhere! I heard laughing behind me and whipped around. Even Ben was laughing at me. I frowned at them and they were all silent in seconds. "What is that?" I pointed at the puppy. "A puppy. Mommy you said we could get one." I nodded. "Yeah I did didn't I?" I laughed and picked up the furball. "What's it's name?" "He's called Cas." I looked at Ben with a small smile. "Ok sweetie." I put the puppy down and went to pick up my son. "What time is it?" "Dinner time we ordered pizza." I sighed and Mac took Ben from me and I collapsed on the sofa. "I am way too tired." Mac laughed and sat with Ben on the floor infront of me. "Ben do you wanna build a fort?" Ben's fave lit up so I got up and went to get blankets, pillows and duvets. Just then there was a knock on there door so I went to get it. I opened the door to see a tall woman with her hair pulled back tightly. "Is Angus MacGyver here?" I looked back into the house to shout for the very man himself. "MAC WOMAN HERE FOR YOU!"

He came to the door with Ben in his arms. "Thornton? What are you doing here?" She looked at him with sorrow in her eyes. Then she looked at Ben. "We have new intel." I looked down. "I'll take Ben to his room." Mac looked at me apologetically. He gave Ben to me and I did I said I would before anyone could object.
