Title: Un Amor Tan Grande
Author: Beccy
Disclaimer: Not mine ;:sniff:;
Summery: After one night together, Harm leaves, leaving Mac crushed. Not long later, she finds out that even though a 4 percent chance seemed small, it's actually bigger odds than she expected. My take on what would have happened if JAG had been signed up for season 11.
A/N: OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG! Wasn't the series finale the greatest? I loved it. I'm so happy that they finally got together! I must admit I'm a bit mad that I didn't get invited to the wedding but anyway! LOL.
A/N 2: I'm using Author's privilege here. I've got the memory of Dory from Finding Nemo so I can't remember much about the episode 'San Diego' so I'm just going to make up what I don't remember okay! Cool.
Review responses below :)

Como entender, soñar con algo que la vida te ha prohibido
Amar a alguien sin poder gritar 'te quiero'
El deseo de ignorar un sentimiento
Es igual que pretender, parar el viento
Y yo no se que voy a hacer
'Un amor tan grande' El Arrebato

Chapter 4: Sickness
On Tuesday morning, Mac awoke feeling queasy in her stomach. She rolled over and tried to will the queasiness away, but it didn't budge. She got up and padded to the kitchen to start the coffee machine, all the while ignoring her stomach. Before long, the sweet scent on the coffee brewing filled the air, and all that seemed to do to her was make her feel queasier, so she turned off the coffee machine and entered her bathroom to get ready for the day ahead. Unfortunately for her, the scent followed her into the bathroom and as each second passed Mac's stomach grew even more unsettled, until she found herself quickly taking those few necessary steps to reach the toilet and throwing up the contents of her stomach.
A few minutes passed and Mac pushed herself away from the toilet bowl and cleaned her mouth out with water. She checked her internal clock to find out that she was late for work so she hurried about her apartment gathering what she needed at supersonic speed.
Mac arrived at the office in record time with just enough time to set her briefcase on her table before she entered the conference room with the General right on her tail. She managed to still through the meeting with her still slightly queasy stomach and she was just about to leave room behind everyone else when the General called her back.
"Colonel, may I have a moment?" he asked her gesturing to her now vacant chair.
"Yes sir," she said sitting back down.
"Earlier this morning I received a call from an Admiral Peterson in San Diego. It seems that they have an opening for a JAG judge and he would like you to fill it."
Mac stared at him as if he'd grown another head. "Excuse me, sir?"
"Colonel, I advise you to take the spot. It'd give you the chance to heal," he said softly. "It's also a huge stepping stone in your career."
Mac looked at him through her long lashes. "Can I think about it?" she asked.
"Sure. Just give me an answer by this time Thursday morning."
Slowly Mac got up of the chair and gave the General a salute. She turned to leave and was almost out the door by the time the General spoke again.
"And if you do agree, you will be promoted to a full colonel," he spoke softly. "But don't let that influence you too much."
A second later she was out the conference room door and making her way towards her office to get started. She shut the door behind her and closed the blinds. She sat on her chair and cradled her head in her hands.
"What am I going to do?" she whispered to herself.

The rest of Monday went by quickly. Around lunchtime Mac began to feel queasy again but it went away after she ate a couple of salted biscuits. She won in court that day against Sturgis and he had invited her out to celebrate but she turned him down. She didn't feel like celebrating anything. She had thought her client guilty but still she did her job to the best of her ability and now he was free.
Mac walked out of the building and into her corvette. Sliding into the driver's side and dropping her briefcase into the passenger seat she sighed heavily. It had been a long day and she was glad it was over. She had lost count on the number of times she'd looked towards Harm's office today and had seen the lights out. It had been then when she would remember that he was gone, he had left because of her. She shook her head, trying to shake away her memories but it was no use. She started the car and drove home…tomorrow would be another day.

What'd ya think?
cmdrchasenovack: Thank you. Glad you like it. I aim to please after all LOL
froggy0319: I think you already know if Mac's going to preggers after all I gave a pretty big clue in the summery. I'm thinking I'll get back to the Stargate one after I finish this. Is your TV alive? My computer is so I'm guessing your TV is too. I'm just a bit mad that I didn't get invited to the wedding LOL.
Cristina: Shipperiness is a word to me! Especially when Harm and Mac are behind the reason for you saying it. LOL
dansingwolf: I know. Do you see any more gaps I should fill?
Xox Mackenzie xoX: Well here it is…the next chapter LOL.
majorkawalsky: Awww! Thanks! I'm hoping it won't stay so sad, but it's probably going to get even sadder before it gets happy…so be ready!
aj: Thank you! It's nice to know I can portray her well, I was a bit nervous about making her out to be un-Mac-ish LOL.
snugglebug: Thank you! Just to let you know I have been reading your story I just couldn't be bothered these last few days to review LOL…glad you could though.
Hemi Girl Racing: Thanks! I'm really really glad you like it!
Wendy Kaye: Originally I wasn't going to write Harm's thoughts but I've been thinking that every now and then I'll add a chapter filled with Harm and what he's up to. How's that? And of course she's going to figure that out! LOL
marineJAG: That's what I was hoping LOL. Harriet's defiantly going to detect something wrong with Mac…and it's a good thing too! I hope you like what I've got planned with Harriet.
starryeyes10: Thank you!
CharmedAli: Damn right we rule! LOL. Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi! LOL
Radiorox: Yep! I agree LOL! I'm so glad you like my story! You have no idea how happy I got when I saw that you had reviewed seeing as you're one of my favourite author's on this site. Just a question, are you going to keep on writing JAG?
Thought you guys would like a translation of the 'slice-of-song' I gave you today. Basically it says:
How to understand, to dream with something life has prohibited
To love someone without being able to scream 'I love you'
The wish of being able to ignore a feeling
It's like trying, to stop the wind
I don't know what I'm going to do.
And just out of curiosity…what would you guys have rathered…if Mac had gone to London or if Harm had gone to San Diego? I know what I would have wanted but I want to know what you guys would have wanted. Until next time…
