Stevie felt over the moon with happiness and relief, it was the day she was finally leaving rehab and she felt so much better than she had in years and was so proud to be completely sober and clean, also knowing the baby was doing well and her little bump was growing bigger every day made her feel happier too.  She smiled widely as she saw Mick standing and grinning, with a bouquet of flowers and a giant stuffed teddy "Mick!" she giggled, rushing over and feeling like a bubbly teenager again, Mick always seemed to bring out her happy and cheery side more.

"You are free again angel!" Mick grinned and pulled her into a warm hug, happily.

"That bear is almost squashing me!" Stevie chuckled, pulling back so she could see Mick's happy grin, it always warmed her heart and made her smile too, she felt so content and satisfied at that moment and her and Mick felt like a real couple even though they weren't. 

"He is called Bearwood Mac!" Mick laughed "He is a gift all for you and our baby!" Mick smiled and leant down to press a kiss on her cheek "A gift out of many!" Mick added with an excited smile thinking of the  house he had purchased to have her live with him, she thought she would just be residing at the hotel and hadn't even planned much ahead yet, her mind was still a little foggy as she was still adjusting to sober life but she felt good anyway, excited for the next chapter of her life.

"I suspect you have more surprises hmmm?" Stevie asked cheekily and Mick noticed the sparkle back in her golden brown eyes and it made him happy, also happy to know he had excited her childlike side by entrancing her about more gifts. 

  "I have a very good surprise but we heave spent enough time here, are you ready to finally be free again?" Mick grinned.

"Yes, gladly!" Stevie giggled and linked her arm with his and he led her to his car, awkwardly balancing the flowers and teddy whilst opening the door for her "Thank you kind sir!" Stevie giggled, getting in slowly.

"You are very welcome my pretty princess!" Mick winked and bowed jokingly then passed her in the bouquet and the teddy bear which she took happily, having a large inhale of the heavily scented flowers, a sweet and fragrant perfume wafting out of them, even her smell seemed to improve immensely since she stopped using the cocaine.

Mick got in the car and started the engine "These smell wonderful, thank you, you remembered how roses and lilies are my favourites!" She beamed, feeling appreciated and listened to.

"Of course, I always listen to you because you hypnotise me!" Mick chuckled and reversed the car out of the parking lot gladly and Stevie giggled, feeling so happy to be leaving.

"Thank you!" She smiled, reaching over and stroking his arm lovingly.

"Anything for my precious Stevie!" Mick smiled back at her "I am so glad to have you out of there!" He added.

"I'm happy to be out, I feel so much more confident, I don't even want to try cocaine anymore!" She laughed "How have you been doing?" She asked, knowing how Mick had been cutting back on his drug and alcohol use as well.

"Not too bad now I have you and the baby to be good for!" Mick winked, quite happy with himself.

"I am so proud of you!" She beamed and leant over, kissing his cheek and giggling "I am looking forward to sleeping in my cosy hotel bed again, you did make sure my suite is still booked?" She asked and Mick laughed softly "Mick!" She exclaimed.

"I can do way better than a hotel!" He smirked.

"What do you mean?" She asked confused.

"You will wait and see!" He added.

"I want to know!" She giggled.

"Not yet, you will soon enough!" He grinned.

"You are naughty!" Stevie stated jokingly.

"I know I am, if I wasn't, my name wouldn't be Mick Fleetwood!" He chuckled and Stevie laughed too, feeling so much better now she was back in Mick's company with no one else around like the staff.  She was thankful to the facility for being so supportive toward her but of course she still hadn't enjoyed her time there, it had been pleasant but she was lonely most of time and she missed Fleetwood Mac and Mick, Christine and John too, now she wondered though how Lindsey would react. 

"Where are we going?" She asked, still trying to remain cheerful and not stress about Lindsey.

"Our new house!" Mick grinned and hoped her response would be happiness.
