Hello, all.
I began writing some of these stories last year, and I just thought I would share them. I hope you enjoy them.
JAG - I Loved Her First
Summary – Harm and Mac's daughter gets married. Rating – K Disclaimer –I do not own JAG or "I Loved Her First", I'm only barrowing them for a short while. A/N – Every time I hear this song, I think of Harm and the daughter that I believe he and Mac have.
"Harm," Mac spoke softly as the two of them were just about to step onto the dance floor.
"Hmm?" Harm asked.
"Look over there," she pointed to where their daughter and son-in-law were dancing.
Look
at the two of you dancing that way
Lost
in the moment and each others face
So
much in love your alone in this place
Like
there's nobody else in the world
"Mac, do you remember when we were all she needed? God, it seems like yesterday when I first taught her how to ride a bike."
I
was enough for her not long ago
I
was her number one
She
told me so
"You taught Tina a lot of things. I bet that if you didn't take her flying when she was thirteen, the generations of the Rabb Naval aviators would have ended with you. Every time she puts on those gold wings she'll think of you."
"Or little girl is all grown up, Sarah."
"It's hard to believe; isn't it?"
And
she still means the world to me
Just
so you know
So
be careful when you hold my girl
"Mark's a pretty decent guy," Harm continued. "She made a good choice."
"That's funny, because as I recall you didn't like him at first," Mac commented as she draped her arms around her husband's neck.
"Well, you didn't like him either."
"That's right," Mac agreed. "As far I was concerned he was just another squid."
"Quit calling us Navy guys "squids"," Harm said playfully.
Time
changes everything
Life
must go on
And
I'm not gonna stand in your way
***Flashback ***
Mac watched carefully as Harm held their newborn daughter, Christina, for the first time. "She gorgeous!" The new mother exclaimed as she examined all ten fingers and toes for the first time.
"And absolutely perfect," Harm added.
***End Flashback ***
But
I loved her first and I held her first
And
a place in my heart will always be hers
From
the first breath she breathed
When
she first smiled at me
I
knew the love of a father runs deep
***Flashback ***
"Good night, sweet baby girl," Mac said as she gently put Tina into her crib.
"Sleep well," Harm said before kissing his daughter goodnight. "Mommy and Daddy love you."
"I hope that Tina will be in our places someday," Mac said as turned on the nightlight and flipped off the ceiling light. "I want her to have what we have."
"Me too, me too."
***End Flashback ***
And
I prayed that she'd find you someday
But
it still hard to give her away
I
loved her first
Harm looked over at his daughter and her new husband. "She looks so much like you, Mac."
Mac smiled, "My looks and your brains."
How
could that beautiful woman with you
Be
the same freckle face kid that I knew
***Flashback ***
"Are you ready for bed yet?" Mac asked.
Six year – old Tina looked up from her coloring book. "Where's Daddy?"
Mac entered the room and sat in the rocking chair. "He's running a little late at work."
"But it's his turn to read me a bedtime story, Mommy."
"How about I read you a story tonight and Daddy can read you a story tomorrow."
"Okay."
"Which book?"
"Cinderella! Cinderella!"
Tina sat next to her mother and listened as Mac began to read. Near the end of the story, Mac looked up when she left that someone was watching them.
"Tina, look who's here."
Tina jumped off of her mother's lap and ran into Harm's arms. "Daddy!"
"Oh, I missed you," Harm said as he picked her up.
"Tina, would you like it if Daddy finished the story up while I go heat his dinner up?"
"Okay."
Mac marked the page in the book and placed it on the nightstand.
"Night, night, Mommy," Tina said as she kissed her goodnight.
***End Flashback ****
The
one that I read all those fairy tales to
And
tucked into bed all those nights
"Now, I know that neither one of us liked Mark at first," Harm started, "but did you see the look they had in their eyes; when she first brought him home?"
"Yeah, but I didn't want to accept it at first. I wasn't ready to let go yet."
"Neither was I."
And
I knew the first time I saw you with her
It
was only a matter of time
"Ladies and gentlemen," the DJ said over the microphone. "I have a request from the bride, there's two parts. She wants me to play "I Loved Her First"; the other half of her request is that her father dances with her. So, Captain Rabb, make your way to the middle of the dance floor."
"Go on, Harm," Mac said. "I'll go get the camera."
Harm made his way to the center of the dance floor and smiled when he saw Tina waiting for him.
But
I loved her first and I held her first
And
a place in my heart will always be hers
From
the first breath she breathed
When
she first smiled at me
I
knew the love of a father runs deep
And
I prayed that she'd find you someday
But
its still hard to give her away
I
loved her first
"You look wonderful," Harm whispered in Tina's ear once they started to dance.
"Thanks, Dad. – Thank you for everything. I don't know what I would without you and Mom."
"We're so proud of you."
"Oh," Tina said softly as a tear rolled down her cheek. "I don't know why I'm crying. I guess it's because I'm so happy."
"Hey, come here," Harm wiped the tear away. "If you keep that up you're gonna make me cry."
Tina wrapped her arms around him and gave him a hug, "Oh, Daddy, I love you so much."
"I loved you since day one, Tina, and I always will."
At a loss for words, Tina was only able to smile.
From
the first breath she breathed
When
she first smiled at me
I
knew the love of a father runs deep
Someday
you might know what I'm going through
When
a miracle smiles up at you
I
loved her first
