The next week following the coin toss we moved to San Diego. I wanted to shout it to the rooftops that the coin landed on tails. My Marine was going to get her first ever command with the Joint Legal Service of both Navy and Marines.

When Mac and I moved to San Diego we were able to transfer Mattie from Bethesda Hospital in D.C. to Balboa Hospital in San Diego. Mattie is now able to walk on her own and fly 'Sarah' on her own. I am really proud of her.

I, Harmon Rabb Jr., was able to retain my Captain's bars. I went into reserve status after arriving here in San Diego. A lot has happened since then.

Mac was able to conceive and carry two pregnancies to term, despite her endometriosis. Our first-born was a little boy we named Joshua Rabb. He's the spitting image of his mother, but fortunately or unfortunately, as his loving mother puts it, has my brains. Two years later, we had our baby girl. She was diagnosed with Downs Syndrome. We named her Josephine. She has a personality all her own, but I tease Mac constantly that our little girl acts and thinks just like she does. We are very proud of Josephine ---of what she has accomplished in her young life.

Which brings us to what I have been doing when I am not on a carrier somewhere doing qualifications. I'm a lawyer for San Diego. I work pro bono cases, especially for families that have a disabled child. During the times when I'm not working at the office, I volunteer my time as Park Ranger for Missions Trails Regional Park.

Like this morning. I went to the office of the Park Rangers to collect the list of children who would be accompanying me on my nature walk. All the children that would be coming have one disability or another. On the list I noticed a name that I had not seen in a long time: Webb. I used to be mad at the guy, but after having Josephine, Mac and I had to go through the rigors of counseling on how to take care of a Downs Syndrome child, and we came to understand that we would have to forgive transgressions from other people, and Webb was one of them. As I stared at the list I wondered if he would show up. I knew it was a wait and see game if there ever was one.

Promptly at 0830, each of the children with their parents' were there for the hike. Then Clayton Webb walked in with a child at his side. I glanced at my sheet as I was checking in other kids and saw that her name was Natalia, and that she also has Downs Syndrome. With a slight grin on my face, I knew that Jo and Natalia would get along great.

When I looked up again, I noticed that Webb saw me. We acknowledged each other, but we both knew that we would explain everything later. I turned to the parents and the children that were standing in front of me, as well as my own daughter and said, "Welcome to Missions Trails Regional Park! My name is Mr. Harmon Rabb but you may call me Mr. Harm. I'll be your tour guide for the next three hours. We'll be learning about different kinds of animals. The animal you want to stay away from this season are snakes; we ask that you stay on the walking trail with your parents. I will be introducing you to plants that can be touched and what plants cannot be. And the end of our tour, I understand that you parents have a picnic lunch planned before heading back to school. So are you all ready?" I asked with a perfect grin in place. Getting nods from the children and several "yes's" from the parents. "Then lets go."

Three hours later…

After the tour was over Clay, Natalia, Jo and I sat together at a picnic table so that the girls could talk, but also for me to find out what Clay had been doing the past few years.

"So, what you brings you to my neck of the woods?" I asked Clay.

Clay chuckled at my play on words and then sobered, "Natalia and I moved here to San Diego after my mother died, and then my wife died in childbirth having Natalia. My wife was from San Diego. We had the funeral out here with her family and then decided to move out here to be near her." Turning to watch the girls interact with each other.

After watching the girls for a while Clay asked, "So, how's Sarah?"

I had to really swallow my jealousy and anger toward Clay for using Mac's given name, but with looking at the girls I couldn't stay mad for long. I replied to Clay's question with a smile. "She's doing fine. She's a Colonel now, overseeing JAG 's here in San Diego. It is a joint legal service that has both Naval personnel as well Marine personnel."

Clay nodded his head. He was proud of her. Clay always knew that there was potential there. Harm did too apparently, because Clay noticed that there was pride in Harm's voice at what Sarah had accomplished. He turned his head when Harm started speaking.

"Why don't you stop by the JAG office on your way home. I'm sure Mac would like to see you."

"I'll consider it."

It wasn't long before lunch was over. Harm had to go back to work, and Clay had to head home. On the way home Clay decided to stop by the JAG office. He knew that Sarah would be surprised to see him after all these years.

Joint Legal Office of Navy and Marines

San Diego, CA

Mac groaned. She had just gotten a call from the guard gate that Clay was coming up to see her and was bringing a guest. According to the Gunnery Sergeant at the gate Harm, had sent them, which was unusual in it self. Harm was usually the one who didn't want Clay around. 'I wonder what changed Harm's mind?' Mac wondered. Then about that time PO Jennifer Coates buzzed her on the intercom.

"Ma'am, Mr. Webb and guest are here to see you."

"Send them in, Coates," replied Mac. She got up from her desk slower than normal. Mac had been hurting all day and just wanted to go home. She hadn't told Harm that she might be pregnant again. When the door opened she put a smile on her face, and welcomed Clay and guest into her office.

"Clay what a wonderful surprise!" Then turning to face the child that was in front of her, Mac asked, "Who is this beautiful girl?"

"Mac, this is Natalia Anna Webb." Turning to Natalia, Clay said, "Natalia, this is Colonel Sarah MacKenzie, she's married to Mr. Harm."

Natalia's face lit up with an 'OH' of surprise.

Mac chuckled, 'No matter what age or disability, her flyboy was always charming the socks off of the ladies, and she wouldn't have it any other way.' Looking back at Clay, Mac asked with more calm than she felt, "What are you doing in San Diego?"

Clay chuckled, "You know Mr. Harm asked me the same thing." Then he sobered. He then relayed the same information to Mac as he had told Harm. After Clay was finished he said, "Mr. Harm wanted to know your schedule so that we could meet tonight for dinner at your place?"

Mac noticed twice now Clay had said Mr. Harm. She knew that he was using it for Natalia's benefit. "I should be done at 1800 and should be home around 1830, so 1900?" Mac asked.

Clay looked at Natalia who was giving him the 'please' look on her face and then said to Mac, "That'll be fine. I'll need directions to your place."

Mac wrote out the directions and handed them to Clay, and walked them both to the door. Mac told Clay that she would see them tonight.

Mac walked back to her desk and called Harm. She wanted to let him know what time she would be getting home. Mac then buzzed Jennifer Coates to let her know that she would be leaving at 1830 for home.

At Harm and Mac's house…

When Mac arrived home she found Harm in the kitchen making dinner. She knew what ever Harm was making was making her mouth water. Mac walked up to Harm and put her arms around him and asked, "What are you making?"

"Hungry, Marine?" he said with a chuckle.

"Yes, and I know that Clay and his daughter are going to love it," Mac answered with her head on his shoulder blade.

"Meat lasagna and veggie lasagna with a salad."

"Yum" Mac said with enthusiasm, and then she pulled away from him and said, "I'm going to get out of this Uniform. Clay and Natalia should be here in about 20 minutes."

"It'll be ready in 10," Harm said loud enough for her to hear from the kitchen to the bedroom.

Fifteen minutes later they heard a car door shut. A few minutes later Harm and Mac welcomed Clay and Natalia into their home.

Clay looked around with a satisfied look on his face and one eyebrow raised. "This is a nice house."

Harm understood Clay's look and chuckled, "Thank You." He then led them into the living room.

As soon as they arrived in the living room, Mac asked, "Can I take your coats?" Clay and Natalia gave their coats to Mac, and then she said, "Natalia why don't you go up and play with Josh and Jo while Mr. Harm and I get dinner on." Natalia looked at Clay to make sure it was alright and he nodded his head. Mac followed Natalia up the stairs to put the coats on the bed. As she came down stairs and into the dining room she Harm say, "Dinner is ready."

Everyone heard footsteps from different rooms as Joshua, Jo and Natalia made their way down the stairs to the dining room. Everyone sat down at the table for dinner. They began by passing the food around the table and asking question about the day. After Joshua, and Jo went to bed and Natalia passed out on the couch, the conversation went to where Clay moved to in the San Diego area.

With a note of sadness in his voice, Clay said, "We moved to a gated community in Sabre Springs. It's about 30 to 45 minutes from the cemetery." Taking a shaky breath he continue, " As I said earlier, we moved out after Mother died. My wife, Abigail was pregnant at the time. She was friends with a Russian couple back in DC, and she said if we had a girl that her name would be Natalia and if it was a boy, he would be named after my father Neville. As you can see, " he gestured where Natalia was sleeping. "We had a girl."

Clay moved his gaze back to Harm and Mac. "I thank you for dinner. We are going back to DC tomorrow afternoon, for some last minute things that Abigail wanted Natalia to have. Our flight leaves around one." Glancing back at Natalia all three adults were thinking the same thing, that the little girl on the couch was an angel.

Harm and Mac stood up to walk them to the door as Clay picked up Natalia from the sofa.

As Clay and his daughter, who was cradled in his arms close to his chest, walked to the door, Harm said, "It was nice to have you over. I know that Jo and Natalia will get along great."

Clay looked at Harm and said, "Thanks, Harm. Good night," Clay said as he walked out of the door.

Harm shut the door and turned to Mac, approval in his voice and said, "It was nice having Clay and Natalia over. I am glad that he has gone on with his life."

"I am too." Mac said snuggling up to Harm, and then lifting her head with some curiosity in her voice, "I wonder who Natalia is named after." She let them matter drop but they were both curious. The both decided at the same time that it could wait till morning; they turned and went to bed.

Outside in Clay's car…

After putting Natalia in her seat, Clay got in his own seat and called a number he had called numerous of times. It rang three times and was picked up. "Hey, Sergei………."

The end.
