Harm and Mac's House

McLean Va

Life had went on with no more trouble from Commander Krennick thanks to Congress Woman Latham. Harm and Mac got moved into their house and everything set up. Both where very grateful to their friends for everything they had done.

Mac stood in the babies room and looked around at everything, Harm, Bud and The Admrial had done a fantastic job of painting the room. She especially loved the added touch of the gold wings and eagle globe and anchor boarded around the room.

She rubbed her now 8 month bump. "Well little ones your room is all ready for you. Now we just have a little bit longer till you will be here." Harm stood in the door way watching his wife. After everything that they had been through, normal was nice for a change. He walked up and wrapped his arms around her. Breathing in the scent that he loves.

"I love holding you like this. I love feeling my babies inside of you." Mac leaned into his chest.

"This is the way I always envisioned my life. A loving husband a house..." Suddenly Mac took off towards their bedroom. Harm just stood there for a minute, then he took off after her. When he got to their room, he was stunned to find the door locked.

"Sarah baby, what's wrong? Please open the door? Talk to me..."

Mac was sitting on the floor against the door on the other side. Her head rested against the door. She was running her hand over her children. Harm could hear her sobbing on the other side.

"Please baby open the door." Still nothing but sobbing. He was just about to knock again, when he heard the front door bell ring. "Baby I'll be right back."

Harm made his way downstairs to the door. He looked out the peephole. Taking a deep breath he opened it up. "Hi Harriet."

"Hello Sir, I here for the ..."

"Shhh she's upstairs, and has locked herself in our bedroom.Something upset her, I can't get her to open the door."

"I'll take care of it Sir, sometimes a woman just needs another woman. No offense Sir."

"None taken Lt. Just see what you can do."

"Yes Sir. " Harriet walked upstairs and headed to Harm and Mac's room. She knocked on the door. "Colonel, it's Lt Sims, can I come in?"

"Harriet? Did Harm call you?"

"No Ma'am, I thought you might like to spend the day with me. I thought we might go baby shopping."

Mac signed from the other side of the door. "I'm really not in the mood."

"Well can I at least come in and talk, since I'm here."

"I don't want to talk, I just want to be alone right now."

"Please Ma'am.." Nothing but silence. Harm walked back upstairs. He looked at Harriett. She just nodded her head no.

Harm knocked on the door. Still nothing but silence. "Sarah baby?"

( quite sobbing ) "Please baby, open the door."

Harm and Harriet stepped back when they heard the door unlock. Harm walked over and started to open it. "Wait a minute, I need to move."

Mac scooted out of the way. Giving Harm enough room to enter the room. He looked down at his wife on the floor. Taking in her tear stained face and red eyes. He quickly picked her up and took her over to their bed.

He held her in his arms, "I'm sorry Harm. Everything just hit me hard. When I was standing there. I..I .. took in everything for the babies. And than I thought about about our little one we lost."

"Sweetheart it's okay, I still think about that one too. But I'm still great full for these two little bundles here." Harm was rubbing her abdomen.

Mac looked down, "I am too, I never thought I'd get to be a mom. Given my past."

"You're going to be a perfect mom, I already know that.. Now why don't you go let Harriet take you shopping."

"Oh I don't know. I don't really feel up to it. After all I'm as big as house."

"No your not, you're a beautiful wife and mother. And I think you need a day with your friend."

"Okay, tell Harriet to give me a few minutes and I'll be ready."

"Can do!" They both stood up, Mac went to get ready while Harm headed back to the hallway. He closed the door and walked over to Harriet.

"She's getting ready."

"Is she okay Sir?"

"I don't know, she still struggling with the loss of the one baby. And seeing the nursery all set up, brought all that pain up front again."

"That's to be understood Sir. But hopefully this will help her today."

"I think it will."

Mac walked out of the bedroom and over to Harm and Harriet. "Harriet I'm sorry for earlier."

"No need to apologize Ma'am. After all I know all too well all the emotions you're going through. Are you ready Ma'am?"

"I think so."

"Great, I've just got to make a fast stop at the apartment first. Than we can go."

"Okay." Mac gave Harm a quick kiss and headed out with Harriet.

Bud and Harriet's Apartment

"Do you mind walking up with me Ma'am?"

"No I guess not! What are we doing here?"

"I forgot to put the laundry in the dryer before I left."

"Oh" Mac followed Harriet up to her apartment. Harriet opened the door.

"Surprise."

Mac jumped back suddenly startled. She looked at Harriet. "Laundry my ass Lt!"

"Guilty as charged Ma'am!"

All the woman just laughed, Mac looked at all her her colleagues and friends from JAG. She couldn't believe that they had done this for her. Than she looked at Harriet.

"Thank you, I really need this. And .."

"Ma'am this was all Commander Rabb's idea. He wanted you to have a baby shower. I just handled all the details. But I want to add, I wish Bud had thought about this when I was pregnant with A.J."

Carolyn Imes walked over. "Mac you hit gold with Harm. If I had a husband like him I'd never let go of that."

"I hear you there." Jackie Mattoni said. "He's a real doll. Not too many men would think of this."

Mac smiled, "I really did hit gold. Plus the dress whites help."

All the woman ladies laughed. They all headed into the livingroom, Mac sat down on the sofa and they all stated showering her with gifts for the twins.

After about three hours and lots of gifts later , every one but Mac and Harriet had left. Mac looked around at all the stuff for her children. She was so over overcome. She couldn't believe how much stuff she'd been given.

She held up the little aviator suit. "Harm is going to love this."

"Oh I know he will Ma'am. Ive got one more gift for you."

"Really Harriet you don't need to do."

"Ma'am, every woman needs this." Harriet got up and went and retrieved a red gift bag. She brought it over and handed it to Mac.

Mac opened the bag. "Oh my god, Harriet." Mac started pulling stuff out of the bag. "Harm is going to love all this. All thou he'd never admit it."

"Well I thought he might. Now Bud's not into see thru lingerie, but given that the Commander is a pilot."

"Your right., he's always tried to play that down. But I know he's had a wild side."

They both stoped talking when they hard knocking on the door. "I'll get it."

Mac quickly put her stuff back in her bag. Harriet opend the door. "Hello Commander."

"How'd it go?"

"Great Sir, she's so happy."

"Good I'm glad."

"Come on in, were all done here." Harm followed Harriet into the apartment. Mac started to get up but Harm shook his head no.

Harm walked straight over to his wife placing a lite kiss on her lips. And another on her baby bump. "How's my 3 favorite people doing?"

"We're fantastic and we love you for thinking of this."

Harm grabbed his heart. "Who me?"

"I know this was your idea. And I love you for it. And later I'll show you just how much."

Harm wiggled his eye brows. "I'm looking forward to that." About that time his phone started to ring. "Hold that thought sweetheart."

He flipped open his phone, "Rabb here.. Yes Sir, I understand Sir... I know Sir.. Aye Aye Sir.." Harm hung up his phone and shoved it back into his pocket.

Mac looked up at her husband. "Harm?"

"Baby, my orders where reinstated. I have to report to the USS Patrick Henry on Monday."
