A/N - It's Harm and Mac's Wedding Day...
Wedding Day
Grandma Sarah's Farm
Guest bedroom
Mac paced around the room, ringing her hands. Grams and Harriet just watched her. They both looked at each other. "You know Harriet she's going to ware a hole in my rug."
"I do believe you're right Mrs Rabb."
"Harriet how many times do I need to tell you to call me Grams." Harriet just smiled.
"Grams you called Lilly right? She said they are on the way?"
"Yes dear, don't worry."
"I can't help it. It's in my training to be on top of everything."
Grams sighed. "I've got this grams." Harriet walked over to Mac. "Ma'am remember what you told me on my wedding day. To take a deep breath, and remember that I'm marrying the best guy in the world, and that everything will be perfect."
"I'm finding it's easier said than done." Mac looked over as the door opened. Lilly and her daughter walked in. Mac went over to her taking the garment bag with her dress in it.
Mac unzipped the bag, taking out the simple white gown. Harriet looked it over. "Oh Ma'am this is just what I could picture you in. It's almost just like the one you wore to Sudanese Embassy only in white."
"I knew when I saw it, that it's perfect. I remember the look on Harm's face that night. It was the second time he looked at me as more than just Mac."
Lilly just listened, "Wow you really live exciting lives in DC."
Harriet and Mac just looked at each other, and laughed. "Alright girls, chop chop. We have to get her ready to marry my grandson."
They all started getting Mac ready. But stoped when they hard knocking on the front door. Grams told them to continue on with what they are doing, she'd get the door. She headed out and down to front door.
She opened the door. Smiling when she saw who is on the other side. "Trish, Frank I'm so happy you made it."
"Thank you for calling us. If I wasn't so happy Harm is getting married, I'd be pissed he forgot to call us."
"In his defense, he's got a lot on his mind."
"Grams what's going on that I don't know? Has there been a new development with Tommy?"
"No, not at least that I know. But you might go talk to him."
Trish patted grams on the shoulder. "I'll do just that. Where is he?"
"My room."
Trish headed up the stairs to grams room, when she reached the door. She knocked lightly on it. Harm said to come in.
"Grams...Mom??"
"Your grandma called us, I wish you'd have called me."
"I'm sorry mom... I should have thought.."
"Well don't worry now, I'm just happy you and Sarah are getting married. With that being said. You look so handsome in your dress whites.Just like your father did on our wedding day." Trish reached into her purse, she pulled out a box and handed it over to Harm.
He took the box, opening it up. "Mom are these?"
"Yes your father's and my wedding rings. Use them if you want to, or don't it's up to you."
"Thank you mom.." Harm walked over to his mom taking her in his arms. He hugged her tight to him. "I wish dad was here today."
"I do to darling, he'd be so proud of the man you've become. The way you've stepped up and taken control of your life, gotten the family you want."
Harm pulled away, "with that being said, mom Sarah's pregnant. We just found out, also I found out that Luke left his custody of Josh to me."
"Oh my." Trish just stared at her son.. "Harm this is a lot for you to take on, are you ready for it?"
"I'm willing to be ready for it. I've realized that having a child isn't always about blood, or dna. It's about loving it as your own. I've learned that with Tommy, he's my son no matter how I got him."
Trish smiles at her son. "You've grown up a lot Harm. I'm so proud of you. Now let's get you married."
Meanwhile back in the guest bedroom. Mac stood in front of full length mirror just looking at her reflection. She placed her hand on her abdomen, rubbing it. Harriet noticed her.
"Ma'am May I ask you something."
"Harriet I know what your going to ask. And yes."
"Really Ma'am?"
"Yes we just found out."
Now Lilly was lost. She just listened to both of them. "I'm a little lost Mac. Are you saying your pregnant? How can that be? Your son is what 6 or 7 weeks at the most."
Mac looked over at Harriet. "Well it's not uncommon for a woman to get pregnant so soon after giving birth. Some woman go back to having sex as soon as 4 weeks after giving birth.Plus with a man that looks as good as The Commander, who could stay away from that."
Lilly just laughed, "well that's the truth,I'll admit I had a crush on him when I was much younger, but he never saw me as more than a sister. I'm not his type."
All three woman looked over at the door when it opened up. Trish and Grams walked in. Mac was shocked to see Trish. She walked over to Mac.
"Sarah darling it's good to see you. You look stunning. Harmon is going to be blown away."
"Thank you Trish, how did you know? Did Harm call you?"
"Grams called us. Now that you are about to be a Rabb. We are here to give you your something old something new something borrowed and something blue."
Mac smiled and leaned into Trish's ear."Harm already have me something new."
"I know darling." Trish opened her purse and pulled out jewelry case, she opened it up. Taking out a necklace with gold wings on it. "Here's your something borrowed. Harmon Sr had this made for me when Harm was born."
She put the necklace on Mac. Now Grams stepped up. She took ahold of Mac's wrist "Here's you something old dear.David gave me this pearl bracelet, now it's yours." She attaches the bracelet to Mac's wrist.
Now it was Harriet's turn. "Ma'am here's your something blue." She pulled out a navy blue guarder with a small set of gold wings. After that she went and pulled out a package. "I know you have your something new. But you might get some use out of this."
Mac opened the package taking out a white lace teddy. Her eyes got wide. "Oh Harm is going to love this." All three ladies laughed.
"All right ladies let's get her married to my grandson."
They all walked out and headed down the stairs. Grams told them to wait, while she checked to see if Harm was outside. She peeped out the door and sure enough Harm and Bud where standing next the justice of the peace waiting.
Grams walked back over to them. "Every one is in place." Grams handed Mac the red roses that Harm told her to give Mac. She leaned into her ear "From your husband to be"
Trish, Grams, Lilly and her daughter all walked outside. Meanwhile Mac and Harriet waited at the door. Mac turned around when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She smiled when she saw Frank. "No bride as lovely as you should have to make this walk alone, my I do the honors"
Mac had tears in her eyes, as did Harriet. "Of course you can Frank" He reach his arm out and Mac laced hers with his. Harriet stepped out onto the back porch and walked the short distance to where Harm and the others are waiting, after a few minutes Mac and Frank walked out.
As soon as they stepped out. Harm and Mac's eyes met each other. They felt their souls connect on such a more passionate level. They watched each other as Mac and Frank made the short walk. As soon as they reached them. Frank placed Mac's hand in Harm's. He turned to face her.
They both looked deep into each other's eyes, not saying a word just letting their sole's connect. The justice of the peace cleared his throat.
"Dearly beloved we are gathered here to witness the joining of Commander Harmon Rabb jr and Lt Col Sarah Mackenzie. Can anyone here show just cause for these two
not to be joined, let them speak now or forever hold their peace."
No one said a word. "Now Harmon and Sarah I will ask and charge you both with this question. Harmon do you take Sarah to be your lofty wedded wife, do you promise to love and cherish her from this day forward?
"I do"
"Sarah do you take Harmon to be your lofty wedded husband, do you promise to love and cherish him from this day forward?
"I do."
"Would the two of care to say anything to each other?"
Harm spoke first, "Sarah, when Admiral Chegwidden told me his was paring me with a Marine, I really didn't know what to expect. But boy you took me by surprise, I wasn't expecting to be taken away by you. You've stood by threw the good times and the bad times. Been my partner and best friend. And now your my wife and mother to our children. I can't wait to get our new chapter started. I love you Mac."
Mac wiped the tears from her eyes. She took a deep breath and started . "Well Rabb you've been a surprise to me since day 1. I never thought I'd like being partners with a squid. But you proved me wrong and won me over, with that Flyboy grinn. I love being your partner and best friend, but mostly I love being your lover and mother to your children. I love you Hammer."
"Now it's time for the wedding rings, Harmon please take your ring and place it on the third finger of Sarah's left hand. Repeat after me 'with this ring, I thee wed'."
"With this ring, I thee wed." Harmon slipped his mother's wedding band on Mac's finger. She looked at it. Harm motioned to his mother.
"Now Sarah please take your ring and place it on the third finger of Harmon's left hand."
Mac stood still for a minute,until Harriet hand her the ring for Harm. "Now Sarah repeat after me, 'with this ring I thee wed.'"
"With this ring, I thee wed." She rubbed his finger as she slipped it on.
"Now by the power vested in me. I now pronounce you husband and wife. You May kiss your bride. "
Harm took Mac in his arms and kissed her like his life depended on it. Everyone started cheering for them. When he set her down they both looked deep into each other's eyes. "Well we did it Mrs Rabb."
"We sure did Mr Rabb."
"What you say we get out of here now?"
"I like the sound of that." Harm took Mac by the hand and they made their way back into the house.
Trish leaned over to Grams."Well we've. seen the last of them for a while."
"Ain't that the truth. After all he's a Rabb." Both woman just laughed.
