Harm ran down the halls leading to the room which held the woman he loved.
"Excuse me, who are you?" said a nurse stopping him, she was about 55 years old with warm brown eyes and blond hair.
"Commander Harmon Rabb Jr"
"Ah, you must be here for Sarah Mackenzie"
"Yes, how is she?"
"It's doesn't look nice unfortunately, they're operating on her. I'll go take a look for you. Feel free to sit down."
Harm sat down, his world was spinning too fast. He might loose the woman he's in love with – the future mother of his kids! Oh god, he'd better stop now and call the admiral.
The admiral was coming and the nurse just came out of the swinging doors. Harm stood up as she walked toward him and from the look on her face, things weren't good.
"I'm sorry Mr.Rabb. The doctor said that you should be prepared…I'm really sorry." she said before going to the OR again.
Tears pooled in Harm's eyes, he was loosing her – he was loosing his Sarah and the thought alone made him nauseous. He pressed number 3 speed dial on his phone.
"Mom…" he said a tear running down in cheek
"Harm?" Trish replied worried.
"Mom, I can't live without her. She's it for me… she's leaving me. I can't breath."
"Harm who's leaving? Why can't you breathe honey?" Trish was now just as panicked as him.
"Mac, she's dying mom. She the girl – the only girl… they called me."
"Darling, stay calm I'm flying there on our jet." and before he could answer her, she hung up to start packing.
"Rabb, sorry I'm late how is she?" the admiral asked making his waking towards Harm.
"Not good sir" he said looking at his shoes "Did you find out what happened?"
"Yeah, remember the ensign you defended last week? The colonel prosecuted… he felt like 'having revenge' on her so he decided to run over her. The cops found him a few miles away –he shot himself in the head. We knew it was him for sure when we found a piece of cloth which was torn from the Colonel's sweatshirt by the hit in his car."
"That son of a bitch!" Harm had the urge to hit something but couldn't find a good victim so he clenched his fists "I saw him looking funny at Mac and I warned him..." he seethed.

Flashback
--
Ensign Jackson came to attention in front of Mac.
"Good morning ensign."
"Good morning ma'am, are you my attorney?"
"No, Commander Rabb is." she raised a brow
"Such a pity…" he muttered under his breath.
"I'm sorry?"
"Nothing ma'am, just mumbling to my self" his grin made her stomach turn, she was so glad she wouldn't defend this guy…
After they exited the courtroom, the ensign shook Harm's hand and headed towards Mac.
"You still did a good job, ma'am. Might I ask you to come with me to McMurphy's tonight?"
Mac turned sharply "Do you want to revisit that courtroom ensign?" she scoffed and returned to her office. The ensign was following her before he was met with a 6'4 frame and a pair of eyes which held daggers.
"You haven't torn your eyes from the Major, Ensign and I don't like it."
"She's sexy-" Harm pulled him up from his uniform and crashed to the wall
"You touch, follow or look funny at her again. I swear on my wings, I'll end you"
"Sir?" Bud pulled Harm from his shoulders "Sir, stop it. It's not worth it."
Harm let the younger man fall to the floor and he was escorted outside Jag by security – laughing.

"Mister Rabb?" the nurse came out of the OR again, this time with a happy smile on her face.
"Yes? Is she okay?" Harm stood up "This is Admiral Chegwidden, Mac's CO"
"How's the Major?"
"She's one hell of a fighter; she's not put of the woods yet though. We'll move her to the ICU; the doctor will fill you in with the details" and she was gone again
