Title: Un Amor Tan Grande

Disclaimer: I dun tinking so!
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: Ummmm…none LOL. There's one in the story somewhere.
Review responses below :)

I tried, to go on like I never knew you
I'm
awake, but my world is half asleep
I prayed, for this heart to be
unbroken
But without you all I'm going to be is, incomplete

Chapter Ten: San Diego? Or no San Diego?
Mac opened the door to her apartment and ran towards the coffee table. She grabbed the tiny test and stared at the little rectangle on the handle. She looked away and her hand tightened in the pregnancy test. She couldn't believe that this was happening to her. She looked back at the test, just to make sure she wasn't going crazy. There, in the small rectangle, was a swirl of blue and white. So did that mean she was pregnant or not?
On one side, it had kind of changed colour. It wasn't all white; there was some blue in it too.
On the other hand, it was still white. Just because some blue had crept in didn't mean anything…did it?
Mac stalked through her living room and straight into the kitchen. Once she had reached the bin, she stepped on the little pedal that opened the rubbish bin up and threw the test into the plastic bag with all her might. This was just plain annoying! One test said she was pregnant, one said she wasn't and the deciding test couldn't make up its mind.
'What do I do?' she asked herself. 'Do I buy another test? Would that other test be accurate? Or would it be like the other three tests? Or should I just make an appointment with a doctor instead? Their test has to be accurate…right?'
In the end, she went back to JAG before anyone had noticed she had been gone too long. On the drive there she thought through her options. Thought through everything, if she was going to buy another pregnancy test or go to an OB-WYN, and if she was going to go to San Diego or stay.
Ten minutes later, she pulled up to the JAG parking lot and turned off the ignition. Silently, she got out of her car, locked the door and headed to the elevator. When she entered the bullpen, it was just as she had left it, bustling with people. Hopefully no one had noticed she had been gone. She walked towards her office and closed the door behind her. She sat on her chair and called the only person who could help her out with both her problems. After a few rings, Harriet picked up the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Harriet"
"Ma'am! Have you taken the tests?"
"Yes."
"And...?"
"I don't know Harriet."
"I'm sorry Ma'a-c but I don't understand."
"It's simple really. I bought three tests. One said I was pregnant--"
"That's great Mac!"
"I wouldn't be so quick Harriet. While one said I am pregnant, another said I'm not and the last one said I am but at the same time that I'm not."
"My…"
"This is so frustrating! What do I do Harriet? Do I buy another test or should I just go to a doctor?"
"Well, I think it's best that you go to a OB-GYN. That way you'll know for sure."
"Thank you. Ummm, Harriet?"
Harriet's smile could be heard over the line as she answered Mac's unasked question.
"Her name is Dr. Angela Barer. She's my OB-WYN. She's really nice and I'm sure she'll be glad to help you."
"Thanks Harriet, you're an angel."
"Well I wouldn't go that far, but you're welcome."
Harriet gave Mac Dr. Barer's number and address and they talked for a few more minutes before Mac brought up the topic of San Diego.
"Harriet, I need your advice."
"What's wrong?"
"Well, I've been given the opportunity of being a Judge and I don't know whether to take it or not."
"Well Mac, it means regular hours which is the best thing that can happen to you if you are pregnant."
"I know that. But you haven't heard everything…it's in San Diego."
There was a silence on the other side of the phone.
"Mac, honestly…I think you should take it. It's only a five hour plane trip after all you know and you could come visit anytime. It's also a huge opportunity for you and you'd be stupid to let it pass by you."
"Thanks for that Harriet. You're right. You're absolutely right."
They talked for a few more minutes about the boys before they hung up. As soon as Mac had hung up with Harriet, she called Dr. Barer and set up an appointment. Then she reached to the surprisingly short IN pile and began to work. Not long afterwards, there was a knock on her door.
"Enter," she called.
"Ma'am," P.O Coates said as she entered Mac's office. "The General would like to see you."
"Okay Coates, I'll be right there."
A few minutes later, Mac stood before the General's oak door and knocked. After hearing a strong 'Enter' sound from behind the door, she opened it and walked inside. She stood at attention in front of the General's desk.
"Lt. Colonel Mackenzie reporting as ordered, Sir."
"Yes, Colonel. Take a seat. I hope you have come to a decision on the position in San Diego."
"I have, Sir. I've decided to take it," Mac said with certainty.
"Good choice Colonel."
"Thank you General."
"You leave in two weeks, that should be more than enough time to tie up loose ends. You begin in three weeks, a week after you arrive in San Diego. The military will provide you with a small, one bedroom apartment until you find one suitable for yourself. You're promoting ceremony (A/N: got a feeling that's not what it's called but anyway) will be held in the next few days. Congratulations, Colonel Mackenzie."
"Thank you, Sir."
"Dismissed."
"Aye aye, Sir."
