A/N - Well here's here's my attempt at Mac's POV...
Mac's POV
I couldn't believe what Harm told me, why did he feel the need to put our lives on hold for this. I know he says it's important for the overall safety of not just our family, but everyone in the United States. But why Harm? Yes I know my husband has the knowledge. God knows he his the skills to pull this off. But why him? He's happy in Private Practice. Or at least I thought he was until he started talking about doing this.
Now he's saying something about me being planted in SOS office as a Marine liaison. That's going to be my cover. What are we getting into! How long is this going to last?
Flash Forward 9 years
Welll now I know how long. This has been going on - 9 years, 9 long years. Having to pretend to be estranged from my husband. Having to see him in secret. And then only for a few days at a time. Having to explain to our sweet little girl why we can't be family. She doesn't understand why her daddy can't live with us. Why he lives on a boat away from us.
And now I find myself looking at him on the monitor, he acts like all I am is a former work colleague. Not his wife the mother of his child. Keep your cool MacKenzie this is all part of the mission. So all I say is "XO it's good to see you." Then I hear it- the hitch in his voice when he says "You look great." I hear and I see real meaning behind it. 'He misses us..' - At that moment I want to tell him to end it all to come home. Then he says "This is a difficult situation." Harmon Rabb you just hit the nail on the head. This has been this way for 9 long years...
