Here's the latest idea that's popped into my head. I hope you like it. Special thanks to Lynne, cause we all know how bad my grammer is lol. Also the song used is Phil Collins This Heart.


Harm sat motionless on the couch his fingers unconsciously playing with his wedding band. The soft strands of Phill Collins played in the background. Five weeks ago, now seemed like ages ago, but it had only been five weeks since he felt like his world finally had some meaning.

This love, this heart, these arms to hold
So tight to you, I won't let go
Can this be real, or just some dream that feels so true
I wish you love, I wish you more
You are all that I live for
I'll never hurt you believe me
My heart beats just for you
It only beats for you

Five Weeks Earlier

"Well counselor got any suggestions on how we're gonna bail our client out of this one?" Harm asked Mac smiling.

"I have no idea. This guy has to be one of the stupidest people I've ever met," Mac said.

Their client Petty Officer Matthew Shiver had been nabbed breaking into a dry cleaners. His buddies had bet him that he couldn't spend a whole evening out on the town dressed in drag. Not only did he have to dress up, but he had to somehow get clothes that belonged to his CO's wife. The petty officer had proceeded to break into the cleaners where his CO and family brought their clothes. He hadn't counted on the silent alarm and the cops had him in custody within minutes.

So here they were defending one of the stupidest people to ever enter the navy.

A knock on Mac's door ended their discussion.

"Ma'am," Tiner said. "The Admiral would like to see you."

"Tell him I'll be right there," mac answered.

"Yes Ma'am."

"I would have asked what you had done this time but since he didn't call us both in I guess you're off the hook," Mac teased.

Harm had a look of mock horror on his face.

"I'm deeply offended," Harm said.

"Whatever squid, don't forget dinner tonight at my place so we can work on this case. Thank God it's Friday." Mac said and then made her way to her CO's office.

That night Harm knocked on Mac's door 10 minutes early, a smile on his face. There was no answer so Harm knocked again. Still no answer so he used his key to get in.

"Mac?" He called once he was inside.

He found her in her bedroom, her suitcase open, packing.

"Mac," Harm said startling Mac jumped up startled.

"Harm you scared me."

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"I'm packing. Monday morning I'm being shipped out on a Webb mission."

Harm tensed and Mac noticed.

"What's wrong Harm?"

"Nothing," Harm replied, Mac wasn't buying but she decided to let it drop.

"Where is Webb sending you this time?"

"Kuwait. It seems there have been some complaints on how we treat the prisoners we have at our bases. So since I speak Farsi and some Arabic and I am a military lawyer they want my perspective."

"Ah I see. Well anyway how about I go about fixing us some dinner?"

"I thought we'd just order a pizza," Mac said as she closed her suitcase.

"Pizza? You deserve a lot better than pizza. Come on I already brought everything over that I'd need. Now why don't you go relax and watch some TV while I cook?"

"Ok."

Tears streamed downed Harm's face as he remembered how the rest of the evening played out.

"Wow Harm I have to say for a Rabbit food eater you sure make a good steak."

"Why thank you colonel. Now how about we watch the movie I brought over?"

"A movie? Ooo which one?"

"It's a surprise."

"Surprise? You know how I hate surprises."

"Well then, we better put the movie on."

They had sat down on the couch and Harm had put in Jurassic Park.

"Harm how did you know this was one of my favorite movies? I didn't really care for the sequels but I loved the first one."

"I thought you'd like it."

Later that night

"Oh Harm you have to see, this is the best part," Mac said excitedly

"Doesn't that lawyer guy get eaten?" Harm asked.

"Yea that's why it's the best part. That guy was really annoying." Mac replied and Harm just laughed.

By the end of the movie Mac had fallen asleep her head resting on Harm's shoulder. Harm looked down at the woman next to him.

"You're so beautiful Sarah. How could I not love you," he whispered. It was that moment that Mac opened her eyes.

Normally Harm knew that if caught in a situation like this he should find a way out of it. But not this time, this time he was done running.

"What did you say?" Mac asked unsure of her own hearing.

"I said I love you. I always have," Harm said as he leaned in for a kiss.

"Sarah lately I've been having these dreams. Each time the location changes but the story stays still the same. You're in danger and I never get there in time. I'm always too late and I never get to tell you how much you mean to me," Harm said as tears streamed his face. These dreams had been so real.

"Oh Harm. You have nothing to worry about. I'm not going anywhere."

Harm pulled her close and for the rest of the night he never let her go afraid that if he did she might disappear.

I'll keep the fire alight for you
Can't think of nothing else, what can I do
This lonely heart of mine, it only beats for you
It only beats for you

You bring me peace, you make me smile
You give me strength and all the while
You ask for nothing, only love
And my heart beats just for you
It only beats for you

Harm remembered what happened the next morning. After a quick trip to his house to get clothes and special box they had gone out for breakfast.

"Hey Sarah, how about we have a picnic in the park today? It is a beautiful day," Harm said as they made their way out of the resteraunt.

Mac smiled. She loved it when he called her Sarah.

"I'd like that, just as long as we have more than rabbit food for lunch."

"Well Mac I was gonna talk about that. I can't have you teaching our kids your bad eating habits. I think we're going to have to change some of them," Harm said with a smile.

"Kids?"

"Yea, I was thinking four or five. What do you think?"

Mac had the biggest smile on her face.

"The more the merrier."

Later that day they made their way to Rock Creek Park to set up their picnic. It was a beautiful day and Harm and Mac were enjoying spending time with each other. Suddenly spending time like this took on a new meaning. No longer did looks have to be stolen in a moment when someone wasn't looking. Mac no longer had to wish that Harm would lean over and kiss her, he just did.

As they were unpacking Harm pulled out a small vase that held a single red rose. "For the lady," he said bowing.

Mac laughed.

"So what are you feeding me squid? Since you wouldn't let me see what you were buying."

"Well for myself a salad and for you a sandwich, chips and of course chocolate pudding for dessert."

"Did you say chocolate?" Mac asked with a smile on her face.

Harm was captivated by her smile. She was the most beautiful person he had ever seen.

"Yes chocolate. I know the way to a marine's heart. It's through her stomach."

"Very funny stick-boy," Mac said.

They ate and enjoyed both each other's company and the beautiful weather After they were finished they started to clean things up. Mac accidentally knocked over the vase. When she went to go pick up the rose that had fallen out she noticed something tied to the stem. Harm watched as she picked up the rose and decided, now is as good a time as any. He planned on asking her later in the day but now seemed like the perfect time.

Harm walked up beside her and took the rose out of her hands. Getting down on one knee he pulled the ring that was on the stem of.

"Sarah, I know we only been together for a day but we known each other for so long and it seems like I've known you my whole life. I know I've loved forever and if you let me I'll never stop. Sarah will you marry me?" Mac didn't know what to say. To say this was a surprise to her was understatement.

"Yes, of course I'll marry you," Mac said as tears streamed down her face.

"Today," Harm said.

"What?"

"Sarah what do you say we get married today? Then when you get back we can plan a big wedding with all our family and friends. I feel like we've wasted so much time already I don't want to waste another day."

So Harm called up Chaplain Turner and asked him if he would marry them later that afternoon. Under normal circumstances the Chaplain would have been hesitant but he knew that with Harm nothing was ever normal and gladly agreed.

"Roberts' house," little AJ Roberts answered.

"Hey buddy its Auntie Mac."

"Aunie Mac?" the little boy squealed into the phone.

"Yea, is your mom there?"

"Uh huh hold on a second. Mommy! Aunie Mac is on the phone."

"Okay AJ I'm coming. Hello Ma'am what's up?"

"Harriet when are going to start calling me Mac?"

"Uh sorry Ma'am I mean Mac," Harriet stammered.

"Well Harriet, Harm and I were wondering what you Bud and AJ were doing this afternoon?"

"Nothing really, Bud just got back from his daily workout. I just finished shopping so we're done for the day what did you need. Wait you did say you and Harm?" Harriet said as a smile graced her face. Hey she could wish couldn't she?

"Well.... Okay Harm and I are getting married this afternoon and we wanted to know if you guys would be our witnesses?"

Harriet screamed into the phone.

"Oh My God! This is great I can't believe. Ma'am I am so happy for you both." When Mac didn't answer she corrected herself with, "I mean Mac wow this is awesome of course we'll be there."

"Great Harriet we really wanted you guys to be there."

"There is no way we would miss this. Don't worry we will definitely be there."

Mac gave Harriet the specifics of the time and where it would be.

Later that afternoon

"I now pronounce you husband and wife you may kiss the bride."

And that's exactly what Harm did.

"Mommy why is Unca Harm kissing Aunie Mac? That's gross," AJ whispered to his mom. Harriet just laughed.

Just let this heart of mine show you
It only beats for you

Yes it only beats for you
It only beats for you
This love, this heart
These arms, they're only for you
This love, this heart
These arms, they're only for you
They're only for you

Harm remembered everything about that day and they day that followed they were the two best days of his life. Now he was sitting in his living room unsure of what his future held. Today Webb had called and told him the worst news he had ever heard. Mac was missing.

Good, bad? Reviews would be nice ^_^. Should I continue?
