Rating: G or PG (Depending on your perspective)
Summary: Harm hears a song on the radio and thinks of Mac. SONGFIC!!
Disclaimer: I think we all know that the characters and the actors that play them are not mine. And if they were JAG would not suck right now!!! Oh, and another thing: The song "Here Without You" is not mine. It belongs to 3 Doors Down.
Monday Night Harm's Apartment
Harm sat in his apartment, alone. He laughed at the irony of it; he was always alone. As he sat, nursing a beer, he thought about how he always thought it would be better to live alone. Not having to worry about anybody but you. He always thought that would be the easiest way. Not anymore. He realized to complete his life he needed someone to love and love him back. And he didn't want just anybody; he wanted the one person he'd pushed away. Of course, it would be his luck that he realizes this after she was gone. So, he sat in his apartment, alone, thinking of ways to get her back.
When he was tired of thinking he turned on the radio, just to fill the silence, and sat in his chair. He was dozing when the chorus of a song broke through the sleep-induced haze and made him start thinking again.
I'm here without you, baby
But you're still on my lonely mind I think about you baby And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you, baby But you're still in my dreams And tonight girl it's only you and me
That totally explained how he felt about Mac. As he listened to the rest of the song, an idea started to formulate in his mind.

Tuesday Afternoon JAG HQ Mac's Office
"Enter." Mac said, without looking up.
Harriet poked her head into the office and said, "Ma'am, you have a delivery. Where would you like me to put it?"
Mac looked up from her paperwork to see Harriet holding a box. "Oh, um. Just give it to me."
Harriet did as requested and left Mac alone to open the box. Mac looked at the box, bewildered. She hadn't ordered anything lately besides her new dinosaur kits, but those weren't supposed to come for another couple months. Besides, those were supposed to be delivered to her apartment; she definitely wouldn't have them delivered to JAG.
After getting a pair of scissors, she cut the tape off one side and opened it. After she removed the crumpled paper she reached inside and took out the contents. It was wrapped in brown packing paper and shaped like a smaller box. She took the paper off and stared at the object. It was a framed picture of her and Harm at Little AJ's christening. She was holding the baby and Harm had his arm around her shoulders. They were both looking at the little bundle in her arms and were unaware that the picture was being taken.
If she closed her eyes she could still feel the way it felt to have his arm around her, holding her close. She could still feel the warmth of his body against hers. She loved the way they looked in this picture. They looked like a family.
Who would send this to her? She picked up the box again and looked for a return address but found none. After deciding she would look into it later, she propped the picture up on her desk and got back to work.

Tuesday Evening Mac's apartment
After getting home that evening Mac set the picture on the coffee table and started working on finding out who sent it. She spent the majority of the evening on the phone with various people from the shipping company. From the secretary all the way up to the general manager, and all of them told that the information she was looking for was confidential. Even after she told them that she was a marine colonel all they could offer was the name of their supervisor. She finally gave up around eight-thirty and decide she would let whoever sent her the picture remain anonymous.
When a sharp knock sounded at the door, interrupting her favorite TV program, she got up to answer it.
"Who is it?" Mac questioned.
"Delivery for a Sarah Mackenzie." The voice answered.
Mac opened the door and signed for the package. It wasn't really a package; it was more an envelope with bubble wrap inside. She tore open one end and shook out what was inside. A CD and a smaller envelope fell out.
