1st June
1700 local time
Washington Dulles Airport
Lt. Commander Harm Rabb was carrying a big suitcase into the hall, followed by freshly promoted Lt.Commander Meg Austin, who had a backpack hanging over her left shoulder.
"C'mon, Harm, gimme that suitcase, I can take care about that on my own."
"Gosh Meg, let me help you. It's ok."
"But isn't that too heavy to carry?"
"Well, I have to admit, it is kinda heavy. What did you pack into that? The Vietnam Memorial?" Harm forced himself to give Meg a small smile.
"No, just The White House." She smiled back at him. "You know, these round things under it are rolls. And believe me, it's amazing, you can just pull the suitcase with that grip on the side..."
"Oh brother, am I glad that you won't be able to annoy me with your smartass remarks this summer." He flashed her his sweetest smile, hoping that Meg would understand that he meant 'I'll miss you like hell'.
Of course she did. They were working together for four years now and the bond they had was getting stronger every day. They could communicate through glances and always knew, what was on each others mind. Except this one little thing, that was so obvious to everybody else...
"I'll miss you too Harm."
"I wish you wouldn't have to go. You can't leave me alone with this bunch of looney-bin patients." He motioned towards the whole JAG office that had gathered up at the airport to say their byes.
Meg shook her head slightly. "You better don't repeat that in front of them."
passengers of United Airlines flight 7036 to Catania/Sicily please check in at the quick check in now
"Well, that's me." They had reached the JAG group now and everybody was hugging Meg good bye. Even Krennik and Chegwidden. Of course now, that Meg and Harm had played matchmakers for Krennik and Meg's brother Colin, what had let to their marriage, they got along with her very well. Though Meg had to admit, that she prefered to ignore the fact, that she was related to her now.
Everybody felt the tension in the air, when Harm approached Meg to say his goodbyes. When he passed the Admiral, he patted Harm on the shoulder and whispered: "Don't just let her go like this Mr.Rabb, do the right thing now."
First Harm didn't know, what he meant with that. So he walked up to her took her hands in his own and looked deep into her eyes. Even Harm noticed, that they weren't as bright and sparkling as they usually were today. But so were his, and also Meg saw the sadness in his eyes. So did all the others. Now Krennik spoke up: "Take it easy you two. You're
going to see each other again in September."
They turned around and said at the same time: "But that's 3 months, that's the quarter of a year."
"And to a couple that hasn't been without each other for more than 2 days for four years, that means eternity Commander." Chegwidden added.
They spoke up simultanous again: "Couple?"
"Exactly. Everybody knows, that you two love each other." Chegwidden explained and everybody around nodded.
Meg and Harm looked at each other with a shocked expression.
"Do-do you love me Harm? Is that true?"
"Yes. It is. I love you with every beat of my heart and to see you leave now breaks my heart."
"Oh Harm, I love you too. I love you more than words can say."
They looked at each other full of joy and Harm leaned down and brushed his lips over hers ever so slightly. Meg slung her arms around his neck and pulled him closer, while they were intensing this kiss in which four years of longing for each other were released. Everybody applaused and Chegwidden said loud enough for everybody to hear: "That was about
time."
Harm had his arms around Meg's waist and they smiled in their kiss over AJ's comment. But everything around them was unimportant now, as their tongues were playing with each other and the kiss got more and more demanding.
Last call for passengers of the United Airlines flight 7036 to Catania/Sicily
Chegwidden and Krennik started to argue about who had to tear them apart now.
"You are the dragon lady, you're going to do it."
"But you are the JAG, they won't be as mad at you as at me."
"Exactly, I am the JAG, so I can just order you to do it."
"That is unfair. After all they were the ones who brought me and my husband together, so I'm not going to be the one, who is tearing them apart."
Meg and Harm had heared the last call as well and also the discussion between Krennik and Chegwidden wasn't unnoticed by them. They ended the kiss and walked up them arm in arm.
"You won't have to tear us apart. We know, that it's time now." Meg said and exchanged a very sad glance with Harm. On the one hand they were happier now that they knew, that they loved each other, but on the other hand that made it even harder to let go fo each other.
"Bye all, take care, I'll see you in September." Meg waved at the JAG gang and still arm in arm with Harm , they walked up to the quick check in. The stewardess took Meg's ticket. "You have to hurry now ma'am. Gate 24, over there." She pointed to her left side.
Meg turned around to Harm again. "I'll call you every day, I promise."
"And I'll spend my days waiting for your call. I love you so much Meg."
"And I love you Harm."
"Oh, here." He handed her a small package and an envelope. "Open it in the plane."
"Oh Harm, thank you."
"Ma'am you have to get going now." The stewardess reminded her.
"Yeah, in a second."
"I miss you already."
"So do I Harm, so do I."
They kissed each other thoroughly again before Meg was literally shoved away from Harm by the stewardess. They smiled at each other again, and blew each other kisses.
Mr. Howard Jennings to the information please, Mr Howard Jennings to the information please.
Harm had an idea. He rushed to the information.
"Lieutenant Harmon Rabb, Judge Advocate General Corps. I need the microphone." He flashed his badge and was given the mike.
He pulled out his harmonica and started to play. "Hey Meg, I hope you can hear this now. I love you with every fibre of my body and can't wait to see you again. This is just for you."
Meg had reached the gate and got a shock, when she heared Harm's voice over the mike. The old woman, who was sitting next to her turned around towards her. "You know, this Meg has to be very grateful to have a man like that." The harmonica started to play again and Meg responded "I know, I really know."
Then Harm started to sing:
// Though we gotta say good bye for the summer,
Darling I promise you this: I'll send you all my love,
Every day in a letter,
Sealed with a kiss.
Yes it's gonna be a cold, lonely summer,
But I'll heal the emptyness,
I'll send you all my dreams, every day in a letter,
Sealed with a kiss. \\
The first couples started to dance along to the slow song. And Meg leaned back and couldn't stop the tears from emerging of her eyes. *I don't believe this. I'm dreaming. This can't be true. Oh Harm, I don't believe you're doing this.*
// I'll see you in the sunlight,
I'll hear your voice everywhere,
I'll long to tenderly hold you,
But darling, you won't be there. \\
The old woman next to Meg was enjoying the atmosphere everywhere and wipped along with the song. She turned towards Meg again. "You know, I wish my husband was still alive..." Then she noticed that Meg was crying. She put her arm around her shoulder and handed her a hanky. "Shh, darling, what's wrong? Don't cry, whatever happened, I'm sure it's not worth the tears. And apart from that you're smearing your mascara."
Meg wiped the tears away and smiled at the elderly woman. "Thank you."
"You're welcome kid, you're welcome, so now tell me, what made you cry."
"It's just, I - I can't believe he's doing this."
"Oh my god, you're this Meg, right?"
"Yes, I am." Meg nodded.
She hugged Meg tight. "Oh girl, you have a wonderful man there. Love is a gift. Make sure, that you take good care about it." Then she stood up. "Attention everyone. Guess whom we have here." She made Meg stand up as well.
Meg was embarressed. "Shh, you can't do that."
But it was too late already. "This is the lucky lady, whom the song the most of you are dancing to now is dedicated to."
The people started to smile at her and applaude. Most of the women around wished, that they were in Meg's place now and whispered to her husbands things like "How romantic", "You have never done something like that to me", "Why didn't you have the idea to do that", "It's a pity, you can't sing"...
Meg was so happy and so sad at the same time time. Happy to be finally together with the love of her life and sad because she wasn't going to see him for the next three months.
// I don't wanna say good bye for the summer
Knowing your love will miss
So let us make a pledge to meet in September
And seal it with a kiss. \\
Harm started to play his harmonica again.
While Harm had rushed to the information, Admiral Chegwidden, who couldn't look at this heartbreaking scenario anymore had rushed to the next United Airlines counter and talked with the stewardess there.
Harm's latest crazy idea was exactly what he needed to convince the stewardess to play along. She picked up her phone and tried her best to realize the plan of the Admiral. With success. He told Krennik to get Harm back to the United counters asap.
// Yes it's gonna be a cold lonely summer,
But I'll heal the emptyness,
I'll send you all my love everyday in a letter,
Sealed with a kiss
Sealed with a kiss
Sealed with a kiss. \\
When the song was over, everybody applauded and Krennik had reached Harm and dragged him along with her, while the passengers of flight 7036 to Catania/Sicily boarded the plane.
Meg had a window seat, and the nice woman she had just met had talked the person, who was actually supposed to be seated next to Meg into changing the places. Then another stewardess approached her and asked her to leave the seat next to Meg vacant, but take the one at the aisle instead. She asked why and as the stewardess explained her the reason,
she agreed willingly.
Meg was looking out of the window, wondering where Harm was now.
"Excuse me Ma'am, is the seat next to you still vacant?"
She spun around at the familiar voice. "Haaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrm" She jumped up and directly into his arms. They started to kiss each other passionately right away, while everybody around them started to applaude again, remembering, that Meg was the one, whom the song was dedicated to and coming to the conclusion, that the man she was kissing now, couldn't
be somebody else than the talented singer. But all Meg and Harm were aware of at that moment was each other.
