Well yet another one! This is set after Episode 8, Series 2.
(Not really sure what to call it so i've just called it The return of Mac at the moment!)
_________________

Mac sat on his bike outside the hospital and looked around him. The last time he had been outside the hospital was 3 weeks ago. He could see Martin’s scooter, lying on the floor and Boyce was standing at the other side of the hospital smoking with some other doctors and some of the office girls.
He looked around again and couldn’t spot Caroline’s car anywhere. He knew he had to talk to her, tell her why he didn’t turn up at the station, but a big part of him was petrified. What would she say back to him? Would she literally kill him? He knew she could have quite a temper, but what upset him the most was the fact that he just left her there, on her own, without telling her why he couldn’t turn up. He had let her down – again. He got off his bike and started to walk slowly towards the hospital doors, but then he turned back. He shook his head. He didn’t want to be a coward anymore. He promptly turned himself round and headed into the hospital. He wished everyday that he could turn back time and be there, with her. He wanted to be with her always, marry her, have children with her and grow old with her, but he knew that wasn’t going to happen. As soon as Jeff Jennings handed him that file, his life was over. Even his thoughts of being with Caroline were shattered because he knew that in a few months time, he would be gone, and he couldn’t do that to her.

As Mac walked past reception in the hospital, there were a few gasps and whispers, but he ignored them. He had know idea where to go, so he walked around in a slow circle until eventually a doctor came up to him.
“Dr. Macartney. Good to have you back!”
“Thank you.” Mac gave a small smile.
“Here is your rota. Also, Susan wants a quick word. Probably just some files to sort out. You’re free for quite a while, which is good seeing as you probably have lots to catch up on and lots of things to tell people!”
The doctor’s pager went off and he looked at it.
“Right. Well I’d better be off. See you later.” The doctor walked away down the corridor.

Mac started to walk in the direction of Sue’s office, with his head looking at the ground trying not to catch people’s attention, but he failed miserably. Instead he attracted lots.
“Mate you’re back!” Terry patted Mac on the back.
“Terry. Talk to you later. I’ve got some things to do.”
“Take it easy man yeah?” Mac waved as Terry left.

“Oh Jesus.” Mac sighed as he knocked on Sue’s door.
“Enter!” He heard a voice call out. Sue gave an odd gasp and fell to the floor, pausing for a few moments then got up.
“Dr. Macartney! Please take a seat. Sorry about that!” Sue laughed.
“Erm, right well better make this quick. You’re not actually supposed to me near me… Do I need to fill in anything?” Mac spun round in the chair.
“You can fill me in anytime you want…” Sue quietly said whilst typing.
Mac stopped spinning around, got up and legged it out of the room.

I like the bit with Sue. :)

i like the bit with Mac spinning round in the chair :blink: he always does that!

:) yay love it

i'm so dumb i forgot that sue was short for susan

ty for your comments :)

After Mac had run a clear distance away from Sue’s office he walked to the staff room. It was quiet and dark. Usually it was full of people chattering away.
“What the?” Mac muttered as he flicked on the lights.
“SURPRISE!” A crowd of people leapt up from the floor and behind the tables.
“Jesus f*ck!” Mac jumped a little.
“Welcome back Mac!” Boyce gave Mac a hug.
“Thanks, but how did you know I was coming back?” Mac gave Boyce a puzzled look.
“Well there were rumours going around that you might possibly be coming back and Doctor Travis confirmed that you were coming back today earlier on. So I went outside to keep watch and then I saw you. Would have said hello but I didn’t want to ruin the surprise! Then I told everyone and voila, here we all are!”
“Blimey. Well thank you! It’s good to be back.”
Suddenly, Martin came running down the corridor and into the room, banging into the door and shouted, “SURPRISE- oh shit. I’m late aren’t I?” Martin looked around him hastily and eventually he saw Mac.
“Word up Mac! Big up ma homie! Welcome back to da possie. ayee!” Martin hugged Mac tight.
“Hey…” Mac managed to say as Martin tightly squeezed him. “And what’s happened to your language?”
“He’s trying to be cool.” Boyce quickly said. “And he’s not being very successful.”
“I knew you’d be back soon! I did. Didn’t I Boyce! Told you so.” Martin quickly said and finally let go of Mac to jump up and down excitedly.
“Yes Martin. You were right.” Boyce rolled his eyes. “You aren’t going to believe what’s been going on here! It’s been a right mad house. So where have you been all this time?”
“Well, I er,” Mac paused and looked at everyone standing in the room. They all muttered and left the room. “Well, I just, had,” Mac was struggling to say something, “had some problems with… with, family!”
“Oh. Well I hope it’s alright now.” Martin nodded sympathetically.
“So, where’s the donkey faced loon?”
Boyce and Martin exchanged looks and there was an awkward silence.
“… and Caroline?” Mac added. He looked at Martin and Boyce, who quickly looked at the ground.
“What’s happened?” Mac sighed.
“I’m so sorry mate.” Boyce finally said.
“Things were said and a yes was exchanged,” Martin quietly said.
“What are you talking about Martin? I’m quite worried about you now. You don’t seem to make much sense!” Mac gave a small laugh.
“WhatheistryingtosayisthatthedonkeyfacedloonandCarolineareengaged!” Boyce said rapidly.
“What?” Mac said in bewilderment.
“He said that-” Martin began but Mac cut him off.
“Yes Martin I heard what he said.” Mac sat down slowly. “Oh. Oh well congrats to them then!” Mac forced a smile. “So where are the happy couple now then?”
“In theatre, I think. I didn’t know if they should be here at the moment because of well, you know…”
“Ah right. No that’s fine Boyce. Anyway thanks for telling me. I’d better get a move on and do some cuttin’. I’ll talk to you later.”
“Oh we are going for drinks later Mac to celebrate you coming back!” Martin called out as Mac left the room.
“Great!” Mac shouted back.
“Well, that didn’t go too bad did it?” Martin smiled at Boyce.
“What? That went fucking terrible!”
“But, but he didn’t seem too upset…”
“Martin – are you bloody blind? People should call you a mole not a vole!” Boyce started to walk out.
“People still call me a vole?!”
“Duh!” Boyce said after him.

Caroline was walking towards the staff room. She was incredibly tired and worn out after having to do endless shifts. She walked past a man who was looking at the floor, who was wearing a beanie. She didn’t notice anything at first, but then a second after he had walked round the corner, something snapped in her head.
“Oh my God!” She whispered to herself. She ran into the staff room and looked around and found Martin, sitting on a chair reading a magazine.
“Martin!” Caroline crouched down to Martin’s level.
“A yes?” Martin muttered whilst turning pages of the magazine.
“Is, is he back?” There was no answer from Martin. She started to prod him quickly.
“Ouch! That really hurts!” Martin started to whine.
“Answer me! Is he back?!” Caroline grabbed Martin by his collar.
“Who?” Martin looked at Caroline and finally realised who she meant. “Oh Mac!”
“Yes!” Caroline let go of Martin.
“Yes he is. Oh shit!”
“Why didn’t you tell me?” Caroline grabbed Martin’s collar again.
“I, I though he would want to tell you.”
“Well I just walked past him and he just strolled on by. He’s wearing one of your beanies you know.”
“What?! My beanie! My cool beanie! My extra cool beanie?!” Martin asked shocked.
“Martin I couldn’t give a toss about your beanie at this moment!” Caroline let go of Martin and ran out the room, skidding at the door.

omg Mac is wearing Martin's beanie - things must be really bad :o

Just read this for first time and loved it! Particularly the whole mole/vole thing! I think that's one of the most true to GW Martin/Boyce scenes I've read for a long time :notworthy

Mac continued to walk, with his head on the ground, until he bumped into a familiar face.
“Oi mate watch it- Oh my f*ck!” Guy stared at Mac, wide eyed. “Mac? What the hell are you doing here?!” Guy started to shout.
“Shush! Please I don’t want a lot of attention.” He placed his hand on Guy’s shoulder and shoved his finger in front of Guy’s nose.
“Screw that!” Guy took of the beanie and started shouting, “THE GINGER HAS RETURNED!”
“Stop it!” Mac covered Guy’s mouth with his hand. “I, I need to go.”
“Oh no you don’t!” Guy muffled into Mac’s hand and then began to spit.
“Oh Jesus did you really have to do that?!” Mac wiped his hand on Guy’s top.
“You’re touching me again. You just can’t help yourself can you?”
“Now really isn’t the time for jokes Guy.”
“Why, why did you leave?”
“I just, erm, had some problems going on with the family.”
“Mac do you think I’m one hundred percent stupid? Tell me the fucking truth. Or else.”
“Or else what?”
“This!” Guy started to poke at Mac’s ribs, knowing that Mac was very ticklish there.
“Alright stop it! You can’t help touching me yourself can you?!”
“Shut up. And this time answer me. What really happened?”
Mac started to do a lot of gestures with his hands and stopped when Guy hit him on the head.
“Is something wrong with your mouth?” Guy opened Mac’s mouth and looked inside it.
“No, you told me to shut up, so I did.”
“Oh haha very clever.” Guy rolled his eyes. “Now tell me the truth ginge!”
“I did, with my hands. I’m not telling you again.” He paused and then he started to walk away, but then turned round again and sighed. “Congratulations by the way.”

haha more more

I want to tickle Mac :eehee

Mac sat outside on the bench where he sat with Caroline once. He raised his hand to his chin, and gazed at the empty space next to him. If Holly hadn’t turned up, then he and Caroline would probably be together. But then Mac thought to himself that maybe it was a sign – maybe they weren’t supposed to be together. He sat there thinking what could have happened if Holly hadn’t shown up. He remembered how close they were and how they were about to kiss. Mac shaked his head, trying to get rid of all the “what ifs” that were going on in his mind.
He closed his eyes and placed his head in his hands, not realising that Caroline had sat down next to him.
They both sat there in silence for a while and Caroline just looked at him, but she finally gave a weak cough.
Mac sighed and lifted his heads from his hands, looking to the right of him, but he couldn’t spot anyone.
Caroline coughed again, but louder, and Mac’s head quickly turned to the left of him and saw Caroline sitting there. He tried to look into her eyes, but she quickly darted his and look at the floor.
“What are you doing here?” Caroline said quietly, not looking up from the ground.
Mac gave a small sigh, “I guess I just missed it here.”
“Sorry to be rude, but I thought you were off for a month?” Caroline started to play with her hands.
“Well, like I said, I guess I missed being here.” Mac looked over at Caroline, but she was still focusing on the floor. There was an awkward silence, which Mac finally broke.
“How have you been?”
“Ok I suppose. Been tired at the moment. I’ve had to do lots of shifts recently.”
“Oh right.”
“So,” Caroline cleared her throat, “How have you been?”
“Oh well, I’ve been alright. Could be better though.”
There was another silence and Caroline finally looked up at Mac.
“Why weren’t you there Mac?” Mac could sense from her tone that she was hurt.
Mac sighed again, “I just had some things to deal with I suppose.”
“Oh right.” Caroline got up off the bench and started to walk away, but then ran back and sat down again. “But why did you just leave me there? I mean you didn’t even have the decency to bloody call me! But let me guess, you ran out of battery, or, or you didn’t have any signal. That’s funny isn’t it?”
“It’s not like that Caroline. I’m sorry.”
“Mac, sorry isn’t good enough. I don’t think you understand how I have been feeling lately. You’ve hurt me so much.” Mac could tell that Caroline was getting more and more angry.
“The thing is-” Mac started to say but Caroline quickly cut him off.
“Are you going to say that old line, it’s not you, it’s me next? That wouldn’t surprise me really.”
“But it is me! If you would just listen, then I could explain.”
“Alright. Go on then!”
“Right. Well, I don’t really know how to, say this but, I’ll keep it simple and short.” Mac paused for a bit, trying to gain the courage to say it, “I’m, well, I’m dying.”
There was another small silence.
“Mac, do you really think I’m going to believe that?” Caroline replied harshly.
“But, but-” Was all Mac could say back, shocked at her response. Caroline got up and walked away, this time not coming back.

No!! Believe him Caroline then help him discover that his results were rigged then live happily ever after with him...Love the writing as ever!

nO DONT BE ANGRY WITH HIM!!!

he wuvs you!

Caroline! What are you doing? Go back and tell him that you believe him and love him and for God's sake, kiss him!

“I think I made a huge mistake coming back. I’ve fucked up big time.” Mac took a swig of his drink at the pub and looked at it grimly when he realised he had finished it.
“Don’t worry mate. Everything will be alright in the end. I know it will.” Boyce said before ordering another round of drinks. “Vodka’s please.”
“But what if it isn’t?” Mac sighed and quickly downed his vodka.. “I think she was right when she said, “it just seems like destiny is aginus.”
“When did you she that?” Martin said after he spat out a small bit of vodka. “That’s horrid!” Martin quickly put down his shot glass. Boyce patted Martin on the back.
“At the Spicy Bengol.” Mac quickly downed his drink making a noise of disgust at the end. He turned to the barman. “Another please.”
“Should you really be drinking this much? You and Boyce have had loads.”
“Martin, I’m not going anywhere until I am completely wankered.”
“That’s it more,” Boyce turned to the barman, “booze! And make it snappy!” Boyce slurred, slamming his fist down on the counter.
“Where is Guy?” Martin started to look around him.
“Martin don’t think it’s a good idea talking about him.” Boyce whispered.
“Well, he’s probably off with his wife-to-be.” Mac slurred. “Wow Martin I never knew you had five eyes!” Mac leaned back on the stool, nearly falling off, but Martin quickly pushed him back up.
“Woah. I think we’d better sit down somewhere else.” Martin stood up and helped Boyce up. “Hang on I’ll be back in a moment.” Martin started to walk with Boyce over to a table.
“No worries! I’ll do it myself.” Mac said getting up and he started to make his way over to the table stumbling and he eventually fell over. He started to laugh. “Woah-ohh, are you, are you okay?” Mac said to Martin who gave him an odd look.
“Yes, I’m fine now let’s get you up.” Martin helped Mac stand up and walked him over to the table.
“More drinks!” Boyce slurred and stared at Martin.
Martin sighed and got up and got some more shots. “Mac, I really don’t think you should have many more.”
“Why not? I’ve got nothing else to live for. Don’t know why I’ve got 3 months left, no point.” Mac took another shot whilst Martin and Boyce looked at him in shock.
“Wh-whadya mean by that?” Boyce clung onto the table to prevent himself from jolting.
“Oh f*ck.” Mac groaned and flopped his head down on the table.
“Is that why you left?” Martin’s eyes started going watery.
“Hmprmh.” Mac mumbled.
“Wha?” Boyce muttered.
Martin lifted Mac back up, “What did you say?”
“I said hmprmh.” Mac groaned again, closing his eyes.
“I take it that’s a yes then.” Martin went silent and started to wipe his eyes with his sleeve. “So, so, so, so why didn’t you tell us?”
“Didn’t want people to know. Give my another one.” Mac clicked pointed at the tray with shots on.
“No, not until you tell us!” Martin whined.
“Yeah, you’ve tell us yeah?” Boyce flung his arm around Mac’s shoulder.
“Didn’t want to upset people.”
“Well you have!” Martin started to cry again.
“There, there.” Boyce patted Martin on the back with his other arm.
“Have you told Caroline?” Martin finally contained himself.
“Yeahaha. Didn’t belibeve me.”
“What?! Why not?”
“Prob thinks I’m saying it as an excuse to why I were not there at the staaaaation.”
There was a small silence.
“Can I have one now?” Martin passed Mac a shot and he quickly downed it, flopping his head back on the table. Boyce and Martin could hear some muffles.
“Oh man don’t cry!” Boyce pulled Mac in for a hug. “Don’t want you more upset! Fucking Caroline!”

Noooo this is too depressing! Caroline needs to believe him and then he needs to discover it was all a mistake. Love the writing though...you've got all the characters spot on.

caroline :angry:

:P I love drunken mac. I love all drunken GW characters! Get the man another shot. Yay!

amen to that :P

I love drunken Mac too. It's so funny and so sad...I hope she believes him and loves him *sniff*
