Rabb's residence

"Tell me the story again Granma!"

"Another day Darling. Granma is tired."

"Okay."

Sarah Rabb smiled at her great-granddaughter enthusiasm. Lizzie just turned eight years old. She was full of life and reminded her of her husband. She had the Rabb's smile and the same eyes as Harm. Thinking about her sailor, Mac smiled sadly. Her dear and beloved Harm joined his father two years earlier, dying from a cancer. And like every time she thought about him, memories rushed in her mind.

Flashback :

They'd been together for two months and weren't hiding from others. It was useless since everybody heard their conversation. The Admiral had fought to keep them both at JAG for the moment. In exchange, the two officers had promised to keep their private life out of the office. And they had managed perfectly.

One morning three months after the tragic crash, the admiral called them in his office. He informed them that a judge's post was available. Indeed, Admiral Morris had decided to retire after 30 years in the service. After talking together, Mac and Harm decided that she was the one who would transfer. She would be in Captain Sebring's chain of command.

At the end of August, Harm had proposed. He had taken Mac out in his Stearman for a picnic in the mountains.

"Mac."

She turned to face him. He looked nervous.

"Is everything alright Sweetheart?"

Harm smiled. Only Mac could calm him like that with one word. She knew how to use those words of endearment. Sometimes she would use them to get what she wanted.

"Harm? Is everything okay?"
"Yes. I was just thinking about what happened these last few months. These were the best three months of my life."

She smiled and tenderly caressed his cheek.
"For me too sailor."

He took her hand and looked right into her eyes:

"I love you with all my heart Sarah. You know that, right?" He didn't wait for an answer and went on. "I love you more that I could have imagined. This day, in the Rose Garden, you captured my heart. And I never want to get out of this prison."

Mac already had tears in her eyes. When she saw Harm's hand into his pants' pocket and take out a small velvet box, she hold her breath. He opened the box and looked again in her eyes:

"Sarah, you would make me the happiest man on earth if you would be my wife. Will you marry me?"

"Yes."

It was barely a whisper but Harm heard it. She repeated it again and again, each time louder. Harm closed his arms around her and kissed her. They spent the afternoon showing their love to each other.

Fin du flashback

Mac was moving around the living-room and was looking at all the pictures surrounding the room. The picture of their wedding that same year, on Christmas Eve. A wedding simple and romantic like she had always pictured it. She smiled when she remembered Harm's reaction at her present for him the next morning.

Flashback :

"Open!"
"What is it?"
"Open it and you'll see!"

She smiled when she saw her husband's face. He tore the paper open and found a long and thin box. A box with probably a pen inside.

"A pen?"
"Open it!"

He sighed and opened the box. It was a white pen without lead. Mac knew exactly when Harm had figured it out. He turned his head to look at her, a big smile on his face and asked:

"Is that what I think it is?"

Mac smiled and nodded.

"We're gonna have a baby?"
"Are you happy?"
"Happy? I'm the happiest man on earth. I love you so much!"

Fin du flashback

The twins were born in April 2002. She remembered the look of pure joy in Harm's eyes when he saw David and Kate for the first time. Her eyes fell on the pictures of their grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Harm and Mac were proud of all their kids. Their family was happy.

Professionally, Harm and Mac had had great carriers. Harm had been promoted Admiral and had taken over Admiral Chegwidden when he decided to retire. Mac finished her carrier a General and had taken over the head of the judiciary.

Sturgis had became Captain of the Watertown and had retired a few years later. He had died four years later in a car accident.

Bud and Harriet moved to California with their four children when Bud had been chosen to command the JAG in San Diego. Harriet and the kids came back in Washington after Bud died in the bombing of the base.

Tiner had become a lawyer and had served under Harm until he retired. Gunny had been killed 20 years ago during a mission in Afghanistan.

Mac had tears in her eyes at the memories of her lost friends. But most of all, she missed Harm so much. But she knew the end was near. She was so tired. And she wanted only one thing: see Harm again.

She went into the kitchen and observed her family who had decided to do a big picnic under the stars in the backyard. She and Harm made it. They had a big and beautiful family. She could go and meet her husband again.

"Grams?"

She turned around when she heard Stacy's voice, her oldest granddaughter.
"Are you okay?"
"Yes honey."
"You were thinking about Gramps, weren't you?"

Mac didn't answer but smiled. She caressed Stacy's cheek and said:

"I'm proud of all of you Darling. Harm is proud of you also, I'm sure. He is watching over you. And soon I'll be by his side to help him."
"Grams…"
"Shh!"

Mac knew Stacy understood what she meant.

"I had a long and beautiful life. It's time for me to join the man I love."

Stacy smiled and nodded.

"Give him a kiss for me, would you?"

Mac smiled, looked again at her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She climbed the stairs slowly. She went in her room, closed the door and laid down on the man she and Harm had shared for more than 40 years. She took Harm's picture from her nightstand and caressed his smiling face.

"I'm coming my love. Wait for me."

She closed her eyes. When she opened them, she saw Harm smiling at her. She took his hand and found herself in his strong arms.

"I was waiting for you Ninja-girl!"
"I love you Harm."
"I love you too Sarah. Now, we have all eternity before us!"
