Harm had made it through the first day without any complications. He still had not waken up though because of all of the medicines he was on.
Mac fell asleep again on Harm's bedside as she had done before. She had not left his side since he left surgery.
Harm opened his eyes and looked around. His chest hurt a lot. He saw Mac sleeping in a chair by his bed.
"Mac? Mac wake up." Harm whispered, shaking her lightly.
Mac started to stir a bit. She raised her head up to look at Harm.
"Harm! You're okay! I was so worried about you!" She got up to hug him, though careful not to hurt him. "Are you okay?"
"Mac calm down." Harm said quietly. "I'm okay. I just hurt a little bit, that's all."
"Harm. God I feel so guilty about this! I was so worried! I didn't know what happened. The police came to our house. All I could think was the worst! I thought I was going to lose you!" Mac said, crying uncontrollably.
"Sarah. Please calm down. This is not good for the babies. I'm fine now. I just hurt a bit."
"I can't help it! I'm really emotional right now!"
"I'm so sorry Sarah! I love you so much." Harm leaned up to kiss her.
The doctor waked in then. "Ah, Commander. I see you're up. How are you feeling today?" He asked.
"I feel as though I've been shot in the chest!" Harm said with a chuckle.
"Enough of the wisecracks Flyboy!" Mac said.
"Well you are going to have to stay here for a few more days but, I expect you to make a full recovery." The doctor said.
"Thank you Doctor." Mac said. With that, the doctor left the room.
"Mac, you should go home and get some decent sleep. You look tired." Harm said.
"I'm fine. I just want to be with you and to see if you're okay." Mac said.
"I'm fine now so you can go home and get some sleep. As for being with me, well we can do that in a couple of days!" Harm said, winking.
"Harmon Rabb Jr.! I didn't mean it like that!"
"I know! I'm just trying to lighten the mood! Now go home and get some sleep. Next time I see you, I want you to be fully rested. I want you and our babies to be safe."
"Fine. You win, but you better get some sleep too. I love you." Mac said as she kissed Harm.
"I will. I love you too."
