No what if, there's only a future part 2
JAG
Harm entered the JAG bullpen on Saturday morning, he yawned widely as he headed for his office.
"Hi buddy, what are you doing here? Didn't you have the weekend off?" Sturgis Turner cached up with Harm. "I thought you would enjoy some quality time with Mac."
Harm sat down in his chair. "Mac kicked me out of the house."
"She what?" Sturgis was amused.
Harm yawned again. "She's been on bed rest for over a week and she's cranky. I found her downstairs making herself breakfast this morning and I told her to stay in bed. She told me to go to hell."
Sturgis laughed. "When is she due again?"
"Another two weeks. I don't know what I'll do for two more weeks, she's impossible." Harm yawned again. "I haven't slept in over a week."
"Isn't she on bed rest? Isn't that an excellent chance for you to get some rest as well?"
"She's on the bed, but apparently she's asleep during the day, so during the nights she's reading or making me talk to her about what's going on at JAG."
Sturgis couldn't help the laughter that escaped him. "Sounds like Mac. Do you think you can survive two more weeks?"
Harm shrugged his shoulders. "I'm going to have to, aren't I?"
"You sure as hell do." Sturgis sobered up. "Just think about the prize you'll get at the end, it'll make it all worth it."
Harm smiled. "You're right, when the baby comes I won't care about a few bumps in the road."
"Why don't you go home to your wife, if she's asleep during the day you can sleep as well." Sturgis suggested.
Harm stood. "You do make an excellent point. See you after the weekend." Harm slapped Sturgis shoulder before he left the office.
Harm and Mac's house
Harm silently entered their bedroom and found Mac in deep sleep. He had to smile by the sight in front of him; she was sleeping on her side, one arm hugging his pillow and the other lay across her large belly. She looked very peaceful. He undressed quickly and as silently as he could, before he slipped into bed with her. He slowly stole his pillow away from her and relaxed into it; sleep came to him almost right away.
He woke up hours later because he could feel someone's eyes on him. He slowly opened his eyes and focused on his wife. "Hi."
She smiled. "Hi."
"How's junior doing?" Harm put his hand on her belly.
Mac rubbed her belly. "He or she is doing good, but I think you should get up and drive me to the hospital."
Harm sat up in bed. "What!"
"I'm in labour." Just as Mac had said it she started breathing harder and Harm could clearly see that she was in pain."
He jumped out of bed. "Are you okay? We need to go." He started dressing. "Why didn't you wake me?" Then he stopped and focused on her. "But you're not due until at least two more weeks!"
Mac's contraction had eased and she relaxed against the pillow. "The baby will come when the baby will come. It's nothing to panic about, it's far between contractions. The baby won't be here for hours yet."
"But still, I would feel better if we went to the hospital right away." Harm had finished dressing and grabbed Mac's packed hospital bag. "Are you okay to walk? Do you need help?"
Mac rolled her eyes. "Of course I can walk, I'm pregnant, not paralysed." She got out of bed. "Harm, we're going to have a baby."
Harm looked as if she had gone insane. "I know we are."
Mac chuckled. "No Harm, we are really having a baby. You and me."
Harm relaxed a little and smiled. "We really are having a baby." He stepped closer to her and put his hand on her belly. "It's pretty amazing."
"It's too good to be true." Mac's face cracked in pain again. "Damn it, this one is worse."
Harm started rubbing her back. "Just breath."
A little while later Harm and Mac were on their way to the hospital.
Harm was sitting in a chair beside Mac's hospital bed watching her sleep. She had been tired after giving birth and he could understand why. She had been in labour for eighteen hours, their baby boy sure had taken his time to get into the world, but as Mac had put it earlier, it was all worth it in the end. Harm had never been prouder in his life. Mac had been so strong and brave during the birth, she had to be in a lot of pain, but she just breathed through it. Eventually their baby had entered the world and both his parent's had to shed some happy tears when he was put into his mother's arms. Their miracle was finally there.
"What are you thinking about?"
Harm focused on Mac's face. "I thought you were asleep." He stood and went to sit down on her bed. "How are you feeling?" He reached for her hand.
"I'm feeling happy." Mac smiled.
Harm chuckled. "I know what you mean. He's pretty amazing."
"Can you go get him for me?" Mac sat up in bed. "I want him close."
Harm nodded. "I'll find a nurse." He kissed her. "You must be tired, shouldn't you sleep until he wakes up hungry?"
"He's my baby and I want him here with me." Mac rubbed her hand across Harm's cheek. "If not, I'll start running around this hospital looking for him."
"Do you have any idea how stubborn you are?" Harm kissed her again.
"I love you." Was Mac's only response.
Harm kissed her once more. "I love you too." He stood. "I better go look for our son."
"You better." Mac teased.
Five minutes later Harm was back with the baby. Mac's face lit up when she saw them. Harm sat down with Mac again and they both sat there looking at their son.
"He looks like you." Mac commented. "He's very handsome."
"But I noticed that he has your eyes." Harm smiled. "He's amazing. I never thought I'd be sitting in a hospital bed with you looking at our baby."
"I know what you mean, who would have thought we'd actually get together." Mac laughed softly. "Everything that's happened over the years seems very stupid right now."
"It really does." Harm agreed and kissed her.
They broke apart when their son started moving around in his little bed. Harm released Mac and stood. "Hi little man, are you awake?" Harm lifted his son into his arms and kissed his head. "We better find him a name." Harm handed the baby over to Mac. "He can't be baby boy Rabb for the rest of his life."
Mac kissed her son's head. "You are so beautiful, you know that? Is it time for you to eat again, huh? Are you hungry?" She removed the hospital gown from her chest and soon baby boy Rabb was eating.
Harm sat down behind Mac and pulled her to his chest. He felt Mac relax against him and he kissed her shoulder. "It's going to be different from now. I have to share your attention with another man."
"I'll try not to forget about you." Mac teased.
Harm chuckled. "I'm sure you'll remember your husband when it's time to change the diaper."
Mac turned her head slightly to look at him. "I'm pretty lucky to have you in my life Harmon Rabb."
"I'm the lucky one." Harm kissed her nose. "I vote for Matthew."
Mac nodded. "I do too, I really want to name him after my uncle."
"It was how we met; because of your uncle." Harm kissed her sweetly. "I love you."
"I love you too. And Matthew." Mac looked down on her son. "I love you Matthew."
