A/N: Thank you to my beta. =) Also I plan on posting a chapter every other weekday. A lot of people aren't on the weekend so there is no need to post. This is a sequel to In Search of Harmony, which if you have not read can be found in my profile. I also want to pick at your minds…for those of you who read all of In Search of Harmony and will hopefully read all of this. (Pleaseeeeeee) How would you feel about a fic that would be a prequel to this one and In Search of Harmony. With Harmony much younger, and lots of Daddy Harm? I might have an idea but I want to see what kind of interest, if any there would be. In the mean time enjoy this and I love reviews, they are my crack. **insert sad puppy face here**

Also so you know I am almost done writing this fic, but even when I finish I will still post a chapter every other day or so. And yes there will be a prequel folks.

Four and half months later…

Mikey flipped through the parenting magazines that were laid out on the table. They were long since out dated. "How much longer is it going to be?" Mikey sighed as he looked at his watch.

"Heck if I know, but she will be here." Harmony placed her hand on her belly. "He or she will be here soon." She was now 25 weeks into her pregnancy and was ready for the baby to be here now. The last check up Harmony had they were unable to determine the sex of the baby, and today they were hoping to find out what they were going to have. Harmony and Mike were ready though. If it were a boy they would name him Michael Harmon Roberts. A little girl Eden Rachel Roberts named after both Michael and Harmony's mother.

"Harmony Rabb-" A nurse stepped out holding a file. "Harmony Rabb, the doctor will see you now."

"See there we go, you can get your boxers out of a bunch now, and relax." Harmony mused playfully elbowing Mikey. "Now put down that copy of Highlights and let's go."

"But I was trying to find the hidden objects." Mikey whined.

"Do you want to find the hidden objects or find out what the sex of your child?" Harmony eyed him. "It's your choice Lieutenant."

"The hidden object can wait." He tossed the magazine to the side, grabbed his cover and followed behind Harmony.

"That's what I thought." Harmony turned and gave him a smile. "If you're a good boy and you behave I will get you your very own copy of Highlights and you can find all the hidden objects you want." Harmony pinched Mikey's cheeks. "Whose a good boy? Are you a good boy? Oh yes you are." Harmony patted the top of his head.

"Stop it." Mike grumbled shooting her hand away. "Besides I don't want a magazine, I want ice cream…

"Fine if you behave you can have ice cream." Harmony rolled eyes. "I am going to have two children on my hands." She mumbled under her breathe as they entered the exam room.

"So Lt. Rabb…" Dr. Leeds spoke up as she sat down in front of a small table. "How have you been feeling?"

"Good, my energy level is good, the morning sickness doesn't seem to be an issue anymore, other than having to keep resizing my uniform I am doing great."

"Any spotting?" She spoke as she filled out information on the clipboard.

"None." Harmony shook her head.

"That's good. Okay so I will get your blood pressure, check your weight, measure your abdomen, and your vitals and then a quick pelvic exam, after that we can hopefully found out what you are having." She turned towards Mikey. "Lieutenant Robert would you please step out of the room, it won't take long for the basic exam and when I finish I will call you back in for the ultra sound."

Mikey nodded. "That's no problem ma'am." He kissed Harmony, "I love you."

"I love you too babe." Harmony smiled softly.

A short while later Mikey was called back into the room, where Harmony was being prepared for the ultra sound. Sitting in a stool along side the exam table Mikey held her hand. "So are you ready for this?" He sure was and couldn't stop smiling.

"I have never been more ready for something." She held his hand tightly. The gel was cold as Dr. Leeds spread it across her stomach.

"Ok here we go…" She smiled at both mother and father to be. "So far everything looks in order, the uterus is still intact, the fetus is at a good size for-" She looked at both Harmony and Mikey. "For HIS stage development."

"His?" Mikey questioned.

Dr. Leeds nodded her head. "Yes his, you will be having a boy Lieutenant Rabb."

"Did you hear that?" Mikey cupped her face in his hands and kissed her head. "We're having a boy!"

Harmony had tears in her eyes as she reached out and touched the ultrasound screen. "Michael Harmon Roberts, our little boy." Still crying tears of joy Harmony turned back to Mikey. "He's beautiful Mike, look at him; he's so amazing."

"Would you like a printout?" The doctor asked.

"Yes ma'am please. I can't wait to tell my parents. You have to call Bud Mike."

"We'll go tell your dad and Mac first then I will call Bud." His eyes focused on the ultra sound screen. "A boy, you're going to have a boy."

"Well now I know how to decorate the room." Harmony sat in the passengers' side of the car she was still looking at the ultrasound picture. "Lots of little F/A -18's and other great US Navy decorations." She turned and smiled at Mikey. "I am so happy babe, this is so great. You, me, and now little Michael Harmon Roberts," she said reaching for his hand.

"Bud and Harriet are going to give us one of their cribs, and the changing table. S o we won't have to worry about that. When we have the baby shower I am sure we will get plenty of clothing."

"I am not going to really make a list of what we need to buy until after the baby shower, I want to see what we get first."

"You're always thinking ahead hun." He came to a stop at a red light. "That's what I love most about you."

"I use to fly fighter jets babe, I am ALWAYS on my toes." Harmony placed her hand on her belly. "And once mommy has you she is going to catch up on her quals so she can keep her flight status."

"I have a feeling our son is going to follow in the footsteps of his mother and grandfather." Mikey quickly glanced at Harmony.

"Being a pilot or a lawyer?"

"He could be both," Mike said as the light turned green and he proceeded followed the car in front of him as they proceeded through the intersection. "Either way I will be-"

Harmony cut him off. "MIKEY LOOK OUT!" She screamed pointing to a car that was speeding towards them and didn't look as if it was planning to stop.

Mikey didn't have time to react, their car was plowed into pushing them several feet across the intersection before coming to rest against a telephone pole.

When she opened her eyes the inside of the car was filled with smoke from the airbags deploying, she was covered in glass, the door was wedged against her side from when it struck the pole. Harmony was dazed. Reaching up Harmony felt a hot wetness on her head. Looking her fingers she could see it was blood.

"Ma'am! Miss!" A voice from the outside called to her. "Help is on it's way, just stay still and relax, the ambulance is coming."

She looked at the man outside but didn't respond. "Mike…Mikey…" there was no response. "Lieutenant Roberts." Slowly turning her head Harmony saw Mikey with his head hanging, unconscious and covered in his own blood. "Mikey!" Harmony cried out. It hurt, but she reached for his lifeless hand and held it, before everything slowly started to fade into blackness and she drifted into a state of unconsciousness herself.

Naval Hospital
Bethesda, Maryland

Harm paced back and fourth across the floor of the ER waiting room, he was pretty sure that he was going to wear a hole in the floor. They always said no news was good news, but not in this case. They knew very little and with each passing minute Harm went without any updates he became increasingly annoyed. Seeing a doctor coming towards them he stopped, but when the doctor passed Harm began pacing again. All he knew was Mikey had a serious head injury and was in surgery. Harmony was awake and been seen by doctors, he was still waiting for news on the baby.

"Harm…" Mac looked up from the orange and very uncomfortable seat she had been sitting in. "You should sit down."

He stopped and looked at her, "Mac…" the pacing was the only thing keeping him sane, keeping him from going over the edge.

"Bud…" Harriet walked back into the waiting room. "I still can't get a hold of your father. I talked to the baby sitter and she said she can stay as long as we need and said not to worry about the kids. They're ok, though they keep asking about their Uncle Mikey and Harmony."

Bud's empty blue eyes looked up and he nodded a few times before staring back down at the floor. His brother had stopped breathing and now he was upstairs having a part of his skull removed. It made Bud think about what kind of brother he was, and he realized more often than not he was a pretty crappy one. The time he called Mike a loser still stuck with him, it still made him sick. Had Mike been right when he told him that a part of Bud meant it? It was that moment in his living room that Bud went from big brother, to their father well minus the booze. In reality Bud loved his brother and was so proud of everything he was doing. He should have told Mike, he should have let his brother know; now it might be too late.

"Captain Rabb." A female doctor approached him. "I am doctor Leeds, Harmony's OB/GYN."

"How is she?" his eyes focused intently on her.

The look on the doctor's face was hard to miss. "After Harmony arrived in the ER she began having labor pains, we did everything we could, and pulled out ever possible trick we had, but once her water broke."

Feeling lightheaded Harm reached out f or Mac. He new what was coming.

"The baby was only 25 weeks old, we couldn't do anything I am so sorry."

He gave up trying to hide the tears, it was pointless, he chocked back a few tears as he spoke. "Har-Harmony…?" he had a tight grip on Mac's hand, she was keeping him up right now. His only grandchild was gone before he even knew the baby.

The news brought Mac to tears and seeing Harm so distraught made it worse. "Can we see her?"

"Yes, but she needs her rest so please, if you can, make it short." Dr. Leeds replied.

Harriet knew personally the pain of losing a child and now it happened to someone she loved and carried about. She reached out for Bud whose knuckles were stone white, she knew he was mad.

"They better find that asshole." Bud wasn't one to swear, but this time he didn't care. "He hits them and he runs and gets away. My brother is having a piece of his brain removed and now Harmony lost her baby. Once they find him I will see to it that he frys." Bud growled.

"Bud relax." Harriet soothingly spoke to her husband.

"No I will not relax Harriet. Mikey, he could die. Harmony's baby is dead and this jackass is still out on the streets. Probably still drunk and will get behind the wheel once again. It isn't fair to them, they did nothing to this guy and in a matter of seconds he wipes out a family."

Harm listened to Bud for a few moments, the man had a point turning toward Mac he looked at her, his eyes wet with tears, "I am going to go and see my daughter." He didn't let go of Mac's hand, he need her here for this, for him and for Harmony. As he approached the room Harm stopped and looked at Mac. "I have no idea what to say."

"You don't have to say anything Harm, just listen that's all you have to do for her." Mac's voice was soft and soothing, she reached out and took hold of Harm's hand, giving it a firm squeeze. "Come on, all you have to do is listen; you don't need to say anything."

Harm simply nodded his head; closing his eyes for a moment before he reached out and grabbed the door handle before finally pushing the door open. It was like someone punched him in the gut when he stepped inside, he knew it was going to be hard, but nothing prepared him for this. "Harmony."

She turned her head towards the voice, her sad eyes puffy and red with tears staring hard into her father's eyes. "Mike?"

"He's still in surgery." Harm took a few steps closer. "You'll be the first to know anything; I promise."

Harmony slowly nodded her head and turned away. "It – I – Michael Harmon Roberts." She reached up and dried a few tears. "It was a boy, Michael Harmon Roberts…" her voice cracked.

Harm's uneasy eyes looked over at Mac before sitting on the side of his daughter's bed. "Shhhh ," he kissed her forehead and then rested his forehead on hers. "I am so sorry hun. I wish I could do something to make all of your pain go away."

"I was so excited, we were coming to tell you and Mom and show you the ultrasound picture, and then we wanted to go to celebrate. We finally knew what we were going to have and I was so happy. His bedroom, little Hornet's and Tomcats on the wall. A great naval aviator theme, I – I was going to have more fun setting it up then he would living in it. Now…now it's just an empty room with empty dreams."

With each passing second Mac felt her own heart breaking. Her grandson was gone. He didn't even get a chance to experience life before someone ripped him away from his family. A mother who never knew him but already loved him so much. A father who would never get to play catch with him, a family fell apart before they even got a chance to be a family. Sure Mac knew they could always try again or even adopt, but that wasn't what she was worried about, that wasn't what she was upset over. She upset because t he bastard who did this was still out there when he should be behind bars, or in Mac's eyes; dead.

He hated to ask, but as a father had too. "How – how are you otherwise?"

"A few cracked ribs, dislocated shoulder, I'll be fine. They want me to stay the night and I can go home tomorrow. I'd rather go home tonight, but you know how doctors are."

"You want me to stay with you tonight?" Harm was still holding her hand gently stroking the back of it with his thumb.

"If you want too, you don't have too."

"I want to stay." He reached up and brushed her tangled hair out of her face.

"You won't get much sleep on that chair." A few stray tears rolled down her cheeks.

"I'll be fine, I slept in worse locations." It was making him sick seeing her like this and knowing there was nothing he could do and was completely helpless made it even worse. "Like I said I'll be fine." Leaning forward he kissed her forehead again. "I think Bud and Harriet would like to come in and see you would that be ok?"

"Sure." Harmony flatly replied. "Sounds good."

"I'll be out in a minute Harm, ok?" Mac looked up at him as he stood to his feet.

"Yeah, take your time." He looked down at h is daughter, his heart shattering. "I love you sweetheart."

The tears were falling again. "I know you do dad, and I love you too."

Once he left Mac approached her bedside. "I want you to know that if you need to talk, if you need anything at all you can come to me. No matter the time, no matter what ok?"

Now the tears were really falling. "I lost my baby Mac, my baby is dead." She felt Mac pull her into body. "And now Mike, he's…Mac."

"Shhh, hey it's ok, shhh." Mac felt her own tears falling down her face. She wanted to do more, but knew she couldn't. "Mike will be fine, he will pull through."

"I have to tell him, how do I do that? I have to tell him I failed as a mother before I even had a baby."

"Hey!" Mac had some authority in her voice as she broke the hug. "You did not fail as a mother. This was not your fault."

"What if it wasn't the accident? What if it was something I did or ate?" Crying pointed to her self. "What if I caused this?"

"Harmony Mason Rabb you listen to me ok, you did not cause this. This was not your fault, do you understand me?" She pulled Harmony back into a hug, feeling the girls wet sobs soak the front of her shirt.

There was a knock at the door, it cracked open and Harriet stuck her head in. "Can we come in?"

Mac turned. "Yeah, sure," she said breaking the hug and looking at her stepdaughter in the eyes. "I love you Harmony and I am here for you ok, no matter. You'll get through this. You may not think that now, but you will see. You're a strong girl and I know if any one can rise from the ashes you can." Mac kissed her cheek. "Your father and I will be in the waiting room if you need anything."

Harmony nodded her head. "Thanks Mom." Her eyes darted towards Harriet and Bud. "Any word on Mike?"

"He's still in surgery." Bud replied sitting down in a chair.

"He wouldn't respond, he didn't wake up and there was so much blood." Harmony took a deep breath. "Is…M-Mike, is he…he won't die will he?"

Harriet could see that Harmony was just holding on, grasping at straws. "Oh sweetheart no, Mikey isn't going to die." Harriet's paternal instincts were kicking in as she sat on the foot of Harmony's bed.

It was hard for Bud to go through this. He remembered how he broke down in the Admiral's arms the night baby Sarah died, and now this.

"It was a boy…" Harmony wept.

His nephew, his nephew was dead and there was nothing he could do, and the heartache he was feeling didn't seem to want to go away, in fact it was only getting worse.

"We were going to name him Michael Harmon, the Harmon was Mike's idea believe it or not. I wanted to name him Michael Edward, you know like Edward Cullen, from Twilight, but we came to an agreement on Harmon." The tears leaked from her eyes. "I never I didn't…I didn't even get to meet him. I never got to hold him, or tell him how much mommy loves him. I never will hear him cry, I lost my baby."

"Harmony…" without hesitation Harriet was at Harmony's side. Her arms were around Harmony.

"I don't get why this happened? I mean why like this?" Her head rested against Harriet's shoulder. "How will I tell Mike? He's going to hate me."

"What? No," Bud shook his head. "Mike could never, ever hate you. That boy is head over heels in love with you. You mean so much to him. He's not going to blame you for this." Bud looked at Harriet and then down at Harmony.

"I lost his baby… " Harmony sobbed.

"Because of an accident. You did everything right Harmony. You ate right, went to all your doctors appointments." Bud sat on the foot of her bed, resting his hand on her leg. "You took care of yourself. You did everything you needed to do and then some."

"It wasn't enough." She reached up and dried some tears away.

"They will find the guy who hit you Harmony and he will pay, I promise you. I will see to that." Bud said firmly with out wavering. "He is not going to get away with this. This is murder plain and simple." Bud hated to see her like this "The stress and trauma caused this Harmony."

"Bud can I have some privacy with Harmony for a few; please?" Harriet asked handing the girl some tissues.

Bud nodded. "Sure, I want to go see if there is any word on Mikey."

"Bud!" Harmony quickly spoke up.

"I will come and let you know anything. I promise." He gave her a soft and encouraging smile. Exiting the room he closed the door behind him.

"It will get better sweetheart, I know it doesn't seem to like it, but it will get better." Harriet brushed some hair out of Harmony's eyes.

"I can't see that happening." Harmony mused looking down at her lap. "I feel so empty, so lost, so heart broken, so inadequate."

"You are anything but inadequate Harmony, and all those other feelings those will pass."

"H-how did you do it Harriet? How did you go on?" She leaned back into the pillow. "All I feel like doing is dying myself, how did you get past it?"

"It was not easy, but I knew I had to go on for Little AJ he needed his mommy. I also had an amazing support system. I had Bud, Mac, your father and, the Admiral; you have them too. You have a lot of people around you who love you and you don't have to do this alone."

Harmony looked at Harriet with sad eyes. "They wanted to know what I wanted to do with the remains and I have no idea. I never…I didn't plan for this Harriet and I have no idea what to do I can't ask Mike, I mean I don't even know if I still have him."

"Listen to me Lieutenant." Harriet raised her voice. "You have Mike, you will always have him. Bud was serious when he said that Mike loves you. I don't need to hear him say it either I can see it when he looks at you. Or when he has been at our house and you call him, the way he reacts." She lifted Harmony's chin with her finger. "We can help figure out what to do next ok, just get better ok. Please." Harriet softly kissed her forehead. "As your soon to be sister-in-law I am here for you, o k." You are not in this alone, not even close. For now get some rest ok, and as soon as anyone hears about Mikey we will let you know."

"Mind asking my dad to come in here? Please."

"Sure no problem, I can do that." Harriet.

"And Harriet," Harmony said. "Thank you."

It wasn't long before Harmony saw her father walk through the door. "Mike's out of surgery."

"And?" Harmony asked. "Dad I need to know."

"It's pretty bad. He's in bad shape, the swelling in his brain was worse that they thought. They were able to control the bleeding and hopefully get control of the swelling, but nothing will be sure for about 72 hours." He sat down and took his daughters hand.

"I can't lose him dad. He has to make it." Harmony wept squeezing her father's hand. "Can I see him? Please."

"In a few hours yes, but for now you need your rest young lady. You will be no good for him if you sick."

She was too tired to fight with her father and had no energy left. "Will you stay with me? Please? I don't want to be alone, I can't be alone right now."

Harm nodded and smiled. "Of course I will stay." He kissed the back of her head. "I'm not going anywhere ok. I promise."

Harmony nodded her head, her eyes felt heavy. "Ok."

Harm stayed with his daughter through the night and into the next morning.
