Disclaimer in chapter 1.
A/N- I'm going to skip over the actual case, because I don't enough about the law to make a paragraph, much less a chapter. So this one starts at the beginning of the 2 extra weeks they have in Hawaii. They've been together for about 2 months now (I'm changing it, so disregard the 1 week later in chapter 3.). Enjoy.
0900 Radisson Prince Kuhio- Hawaii, Hawaii
Hotel Lobby
Mac and Harm walked into the hotel hand in hand, ready for the next two weeks. "Reservation for Rabb and Mackenzie." Harm told the women. "Just a moment please." The women said looking in the computer. "We have a booking for two under Rabb, but nothing under Mackenzie." "Harriet." Mac and Harm said in unison. "Do you need any help with your luggage?" A bellboy asked them when they were done checking in. "Yes, please." Harm told him. The bellboy took them to floor 7, room 733. Harm gave him a tip, and took Mac by surprise when he picked her up and carried her into the room. "What are you doing?!?" Mac yelled. "I'm practicing." "For what?" "Our honeymoon, of course!" He answered. "Don't think you think you should propose before planning for the future??" "Yeah, I should." "And how do you even know that I'll say yes?" "I have faith! And besides, who could resist ME?" Harm said with a Flyboy smile "Not many people." Mac said as she grabbed him for an earth shattering kiss. "How about you put on one of those bikinis and we'll go swimming." Harm said, after he had recovered. "Ok, I'll be out in a minute."
58 seconds later
"Are you ready Harm?" "Yes ma'am. Lets Roll!" Mac reached up and grabbed the back of his neck, and gave him another kiss that could have stopped the earth from spinning. "I should you ma'am more often..." Harm smiled. "You'd better."
3 hours later and after Harm had told several guys to get away from his girlfriend, they were done swimming and decided to get some lunch at the hotel cafe. "What would you like to drink?" The waiteress asked Mac. "Water please." "And you sir." She asked, giving him a flirty look. "Water." Harm said, ignoring her advances. "That girl was so flirting with you. She didn't look much older than 20!" "Jealous?" "Maybe alittle.." "Don't be, I love YOU." Harm said as he kissed her hand. "I love you too." "What would you like to eat?" The flirty waiteress said when she came back with there water. "I'll have a ceasar salad." Harm said. "I'd like a chicken sandwhich." "Ok, it will be out in about 15 minutes." "Good to know you eating habits have changed alittle." Harm smiled. "They didn't have any hamburgers on the menu mister smarty pants." Mac said sticking her tounge out at Harm. "Admit it, I'm rubbing off on you!" "Fine, I admit it." Mac said in defeat. "HAA, I knew it!" "Why don't we talk about something else, not related to food." "Actually there is something I wanted to talk to you about. Kind of a statement then a question" "Shoot." "Ok, well, when we get back to DC I'm going to start looking for a house for me...for us...that is if you want to live with me..." "I'd love to live with you, Harm." "Good, I have another question, but I'll ask you tonight." "You can ask now." "No, I can't reveal EVERYTHING right now!" "Fine, but you know I hate surprises." "I know." He smiled Just then their food came, and they spent the next hour talking about what kind of house they wanted, how big, how many bedrooms, etc.
Room 750
"What do you want to do this afternoon Mac?" "Sleep.." "So shopping with me is out?" "Night is for sleeping, day is for shopping! Let's GO!!" "If you don't mind, I'm going to call my mother first." "Oh, ok, tell her I said hi." "Will do." Harm said dialing the familiar number.
Trish: "Hello Harmon" Harm: "How'd you know if was me?" Trish: "It's called Caller ID dear, it's this new invention, only been around for 4-5 years..." Harm: "Haa Haa, very funny mom." Trish: "I thought so. So, to what do I owe this call?" Harm: "Can't a man call his mommy now and then??" Trish: "I suppose so, any reason you called?" Harm: "Yes actually" Harm looked around and noticed that Mac had gone into the bathroom. "I'm getting married.." He said quietly. Trish: "YOU'RE WHAT??!?!" She screamed into the phone. Harm: "No need to scream, I'm suprised Mac didn't hear you..." Trish: "Mac? In that case it's okay." Harm: "Good, I'm asking her tonight. Tell Frank thanks for sending me Grandma Sarah's ring." Trish: "I didn't even know he had." Frank: "Yes, I did, he asked me to express it to him a few days ago." Harm: "Thanks for your help Frank." Frank: "No problem Harm, happy to help you get your head out of your backside, and ask Mac to marry you." Harm: (Laughing) "Wish me luck guys, I'll call you tonight and let you know how it goes." Trish,"You'd better, Harmon. I love you." Harm: I love you too, Mom"
About 30 seconds after Harm hung up Mac came out of the bathroom and announced that she had better be shopping on the next hour, or he'd pay dearly.
30 minutes later- The mall.
"Where do you want to go first?" Harm asked. "Let's go find a toy store and get little AJ something." "Alright, let's roll!" "What do you think we should get him?" Mac asked. "He likes planes, so maybe some toy ones, and models for Bud to help him with." "Sound's good" Mac said as they entered the store. "How about this one?" Harm said when we saw a USN model plane. "Too bad they don't have USMC planes here, we need to get him to choose a good career path." Mac said with a grin. "And the Navy isn't "a good career path"?" "It's okay for scrawny little pilots." "Who you callin' scrawny?? Do I look small or something?" "No, not you particularly, just pilots in general." "Well we'll go to Build-a-Bear and find a USMC outfit, and then it will be his choice. Besides, you'll have some influence on our children, so maybe you can recruit one of them for the Marines." "True. Just out of curiosity, how many children do you want?" "I'd be happy with one, as long as it was ours, but ideally I'd like four or five." "Me too, surely out of four or five, ONE will join the Marines." "Alright you can have one to yourself that you can influence without me getting in the way." Harm grinned. "Oh, just one, huh??" "Ok, maybe two." "That's better." Mac said as Harm payed for what they had gotten. "And just when do you plan on starting this family of ours?" Harm looked at his watch, "Hmm, how's 5pm sound." He smiled. Mac only laughed.
3 hours of shopping later...
"What do you want for dinner, Marine?" "A burger and fries." "Okay, as long as we go somewhere where I can get a decent salad." "Fine by me. Let's go what's in the food court." "Alrighty Ditey." (A/N- Alrighty Ditey is just something I say, I doubt Harm would actually say it. And if you're wondering it's pronounced like Die-tee..) They arrived at the food court and Harm went to get a salad while Mac got her burger. "How's your rabbit food, Stickboy?" "Just great thank you very much. It has to be better than fried cow and little salted down potato slivers.." For that remark Mac put a fry in her mouth and chewed it very slowly 'Who knew chewing could turn someone on so much.' Harm thought as he stared at Mac. "See something you like Flyboy?" Mac said laughing. "I see alot of things I like when I look at you." "Well, thank you...I think." "So what do you say we blow this popsicle stand?" "Sound's good."
Back at the hotel
"What are we doing tonight, Harm?" Mac asked as they entered the room. "Relaxing. Taking a certain Marine shopping has worn me out." "Oh, shup up, you know you had fun with me." Mac said laying down on the bed with Harm. "You win, I had a great time shopping with my Marine." Wrapping his arms around her.
2 hours later
After a good nap Mac woke up and streched, waking Harm up. "Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you." Mac apologized. "It's okay, I can't look at you with my eyes closed now can I?" He smiled. "Nope." Mac said as she leaned down to kiss him. "You want to do anything tonight?" Harm asked. "We could go to the beach and watch the sunset." "Sound's good to me. Of course anything with my Marine is a good thing." "Ooh, such a sweet talker. All talk, no action." "You want to see some action Ninja girl??" "Yeah!" "Alright then, meet me in the shower, 5 minutes!" Harm said getting and walking into the bathroom. "See you then!"
15 minutes...
"You know if we keep this up we'll never see the sunset..." Mac teased. "We'll continue this later, I think if we go to the beach we'll need another shower anyway, being as we'll have sand in places we didn't know we had!" "You're right" Mac said as they stepped out of the shower. "I'll let you have the bathroom for now, so you can make yourself beautiful, not that it takes much." Harm said sweetly. "Thanks, I'll be ready in 20 minutes." "Good enough for me." Harm walked out of the bathroom, and took a pair of khaki shorts and a polo shirt out of his suitcase. After he'd gotten dressed he went over to the nightstand where he took out the ring Frank had sent im a few days prior. The ring had belonged to his Grandma Sarah, and he knew Mac would know the meaning behind it. Now he just had to wait for the right moment to ask her, and he hoped tonight would present an opportunity.
At the beach an hour later-
"This is beautiful." Mac said.
"You're beautiful."
Mac smiled and gave him a soft kiss.
"Are you happy?" Harm asked seriously.
"What do you mean by happy?"
"Are you happy with your life, being with me more specifically."
"Yes, I'm very happy with my life, and being with you is the best thing that's ever happened to me."
"Good, because I have something to ask you. I know it's kind of sudden, but I think it's the right thing." Harm said, standing up and pulling her with him, then getting down on his knee.
"Harm, what are you doing?" She asked, though she already knew.
"Something I should have done ages ago. Sarah Mackenzie, I love you more than anything else in the world. Will you marry me?" Harm asked with tears in his blue eyes.
"Oh Harm, you already know I will." Mac said as she started crying.
"I love you, Sarah."
"I love you too, Harm." She said as she wrapped her arms around him. "I have something to tell you."
"Whatever it is can wait until morning, we've got celebrating to do!"
"No it can't wait until morning Harm. Besides, it might make you want to celebrate more."
"What else could make me happier than you agreeing to be my wife?"
"This. Harm, I'm pregnant."
"You're what??" Harm screeched.
"I'm pregnant, you're going to be a father. Aren't you happy?"
"Happy?? I'm ecstatic!! I'M GOING TO BE A FATHER!!" Harm said as he lifted her off the sand and spun her around. "I guess we'll need a bigger house than I'd expected, huh?"
"Come on flyboy, let's go celebrate!" And with that said, he scooped her up, and carried her back to the hotel, where they did ALOT of celebrating, far into the morning. And fell asleep happier than they'd ever been in there lives.
HAA HAA! Most of you weren't expecting me to throw in the surprise now were you??? You already knew Harm was going to propose, I had to do SOMETHING to keep your interest. Hope it worked. Please review and tell me what you think of this chapter.
