Rating: G
Classification: (Harm/Mac)
Spoilers: Yeah Baby, and anything after Boomerang II
Summary: Read and find out.

Disclaimers: Do you really think a teenager would
create something like that and then sit on her home
computer and write fanfic for the same show. I DON'T
THINK SO!!!!!!!

Archiving: Don't care as long as my name stays on it
and you tell me where you put it.

Author's Note: This isn't typical for me to write
pieces like this. This is my first story writing it
as Mac POV. And for those of you who are reading the
He Didn't Have To Be series I haven't forgot about
that. I'm in the middle of writing the next story in
the series.



******************************************************

Sarah Mackenzie Residence
Georgetown

'I can't believe I'm going to do this.' The
little voice said inside my head as I finished
punching in the number that I saw seconds ago on the
screen of my TV.
"Welcome. What is your name?" A female voice
greeted me over the phone.
"Mac."
"Mac? Is that you're real name or a nickname?"
The lady questioned again.
"It's what all my friends call me, but my given
name is Sarah." I stopped I didn't want to give too
much away to this woman I've never even spoke to or
met.
"Alright Sarah when is your birthday?"
'I should just hang up the phone now.' the
little voice inside me told me, but something made
me keep talking.
"June 4." I replied.
"Ah a Gemini."
"Yes." I replied again.
"I sense that you are trapped and I'm not
talking about being held prisoner. You are trapped
by love. Am I right?"
"Yes." I don't know why I said it, but I did.
"Let's see it's between two men. Hmm?"
"Yes."
"Yes." The lady on the phone stated. "I see two
very handsome men. I see both with dark hair, but
one has light eyes. Am I right?"
"Yeah." I couldn't believe it this woman was
right on the money.
"This light eyed man...uhh what color are his
eyes?"
"Blue." I state at once. I have no clue why I
can remember the color of HIS eyes, but I can't even
remember the color of my boyfriends eyes.
"Blue." The lady snapped me out of my trans .
"This blue eyed man you have know for a long time
and he his like your knight and shinning armor.
Right again?"
"I wouldn't say that." I begin to lie. Of course
HE is my night and shinning armor.
"Don't lie to me. I know he really is and your
thinking about him aren't you?"
"Yes."
"This other man, you are close."
"Yes I'm engaged to him."
"I see, but you don't really love him. Do you?"
Before I had a chance to reply she started again.
"Don't answer me I already know the answer. You and
your knight did something out of character for both
of you."
"We slept together."
"Umm hmm. You recently found out that there will
be a little one on the way soon didn't you?"
"Oh my god yes." I almost dropped the phone
there.
"And you want it to be the knights, but you're
sure it's this other fellow's?"
"Kind of."
"You're dreams have come true. The baby's father
is your knight." I let out a gasp. "Anything else
you would like to know sweetie?"
"When this baby was conceived we just got caught
up in the moment and I'm not sure about how he will
feel about it." The words just came out of my mouth.
"You are talking about your knight?"
"Yes."
"Don't worry your knight loves you and he will
love this baby. So drop this other man and go to
your knight."
"Thank you."
"No thank you."
I placed the phone back on it's spot and sank
back on the couch. What am I going to do? She says I
should tell HIM that he's going to be a father, but
what about my fiancée? I only accepted because I
thought that he was the only person who would want
me after my mistakes.
I finally make my decision and pick the phone
back up.
"Hello?" HIS voice answers.
"Hi it's me."
"Mac what time is it?"
"12:27. Listen I really need to talk to you. Do
you thing you could meet me at McMurphy's?"
"Can't this wait till in the morning at the
office?" HE asked me. For some reason he didn't want
to see me.
"No it can't wait. Please..." I beg.
"Sure Mac I'll be there in about 30 minutes."
"See you then." I hang the phone back up and let
out a sigh this really was going to happen. I'm
really going to tell him how I feel. I grabbed my
coat and my keys and reach to open the door when it
opens.
I jump back until I realized who it is.
"Mic you scared me." I put my hand on my chest.
"Sorry lov." He starts to come close to me for a
kiss, but I back away and start for the door.
"I have to out for a bit. Bye." I tell him and
quickly shut the door.

McMurphy's Bar
Georgetown

I walk in the bar and see him at the bar leaning
against it and watching the door.
"We need to talk."
"Sure why don't we go over here." He leads me
over to a table. The hand that's usually on my back
is gone he just walks beside me.
"What was so important that you had to see me
tonight?" He asks taking his seat.
"First of all I came to tell you that I'm going
to call off all wedding plans. Between me and Mic
that is." I pause.
"Why Mac? I thought you loved him."
"Well like you once said to me, the Rules of
Engagement have changed."
"What are you talking about."
I hang my head and avoid looking at his face and
the confused look of his I can feel on me.
"Do you remember when we were on the Baley case
in Italy?"
"Yeah."
"Do you remember the last night we were there?"
I look up at him.
"It's not something I can forget right away
Mac." He looks at me.
"Well you're not going to forget it for a long
time" I look back down at where my hands are resting
on the table.
"Will you stop talking so cryptically and just
tell me. What do you mean I'm not going to forget it
for a long time."
I unfold my hands and place them on top of his
which are also folded on the table.
"Harm I'm pregnant." I say. I can see the wild,
unbelievable look in his eyes and on his face.
"You're preg..pregnant. Is it mine?"
"Yes."
"How do you know? I mean you sleep with Brumby
probably every night , so how do you know it's not
his?"
"I have this feeling." I wasn't about to tell
him who I called.
"Excuse me Mac, but I have to do some thinking."
He got up and walked out of the bar.
I got up also throwing some money on the table
for my untouched drink and walked outside and go
into my car before I allowed the tears to come down.

'My life's a mess.' I thought as I placed my
head on the steering wheel. 'I've just lost the man
I love, the father of my baby, and for what
nothing."
I wipe the tears from my eyes and put the car in
gear and I drive to the one place I know he will be
at.

The Wall
Washington DC

I walked the distance to where I knew I would
find his father's name. He once told me that he
always went there to think and talk things out. So I
was shocked when I didn't find him. I was hoping to
go there and talk with him again, but I didn't find
him.
I drove around Washington for about an hour
going to all the places I thought I might find him,
but I didn't have any luck. I wanted to go back to
my apartment, but I knew I couldn't think there with
Mic still there. So I went to the one place I could
go to think with out anybody bothering me. As I
drove the city streets on my way to JAG Headquarters
I thought about my options. I could resign my
commission and move away somewhere, I could continue
with my duty and act like nothing happened between
us, or I could have an abortion. As I pulled into
the parking lot I knew that the last option was out
of the question, and there was no way that we could
go on and act like nothing happened especially when
I started to show and after the baby was born. That
only left the option to resign my commission and
move somewhere. I walked into JAG Headquarters and
began to prepare myself to write my letter of
resignation.

THE END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MAYBE?????
