3 Months Later
New Rabb House
McLean Va
"Sarah?" No answer "Sarah" still no answer. Now Harm was getting worried. So he went walking through the house looking for his wife. First stop was their bedroom. He walked through room glancing all around. No Sarah so he made his way to en-room bathroom, glancing inside; no Mac. Than a light bulb went off . He headed out making his way down the hallway towards the nursery. That's when he found her. Fast asleep holding a very awake and alert baby boy.
Harm smiled down at Tommy; "You're being a very good little one for your mommy." Tommy just smiled. Not wanting to wake up Mac, but knowing he needed to put Tommy in his crib, he reached down and attempted to remove Tommy from Mac's arms. That's when she opened her eyes. "Harm what are doing?"
"I was just going to put him into his crib, it's after midnight. You both should be in bed."
Mac glared at Harm; "We're just fine here."
"I beg to differ. Why don't you go lay down and I'll get him ready bed."
"I'm fine, after all I've been here all alone for the last 3 days while you've been off on The Seahawk." Mac got up and went about getting Tommy ready for bed, ignoring Harm. He watched her wondering what had happen in the last 3 days to make her upset with him. Still standing and watching his wife moving about the room he wanted to try and talk with her.
"Are you sure..."
"I said I'm fine; just go away. After all you didn't hesitate when you where sent to The Seahawk."
Harm thought back to 3 days prior.
( 3 days before )
"Sarah.. Sarah..."
"I'm up here." Harm made his way up the stairs and towards Tommy's room. When he entered the sight before him warmed his heart. Mac was sitting in the glider feeding their almost 5 mouth old baby boy. He made his way over to them, kneeling down to their level when he reached them. He took Mac's hand in his, stroking it. She picked up on his uneasiness.
"Harm; what's wrong?"
"I; well I'm not sure how to tell you this."
"Just tell me. After all it can't be that bad."
"I'm being sent to The Seahawk on a JAGMan investigation, Bud is going with me."
Taking a deep breath, "Are you okay with going?"
"I'm okay with it; I just hate leaving you and Tommy."
Mac smiled, "I know you do, but that's part of the job. We both know that."
"True; I'll admit it will be nice to be on a carrier, at least for a while."
Mac glanced down, "Well I know how much carriers mean to you." She started to get up. Harm stoped her. "Baby you Tommy and Rosie mean more to me." Harm placed his hand on her abdomen rubbing it gently.
She smiled at him; "I know we do, I guess it's just my hormones, I've just got to get use to all these changes I'm experiencing."
"You will." Harm took her hand and kissed it. "I've got to go pack, we leave in 2 hours."
"Okay." Mac smiled as she watched Harm walk out. She looked down at Tommy. "What are we going to do while your daddy is away."
( back to the present )
"Sarah sweetheart did something happen while I was gone?"
Mac let out a chuckle, "You might say that."
"Please tell me."
"Look it's late and I'm tried; we'll talk about this..."
"Mac; I don't want to.."
"Mac I'm back to Mac? I'm not Sarah your wife mother of your kids?"
"Yes your still my Sarah..."
She just laughed and placed Tommy in his crib. After that she walked out and headed down the hallway to their bedroom. Harm followed her. She was about to close the door, when
he stopped her. "Please talk to me, what's going on?"
"This!"- she shoved the Washington Post against his chest. Harm started glancing at the newspaper. That's when he saw the headline. Congress Woman in bed with the Navy." Harm continued to read the article.
"Sarah this isn't what you think..."
"Really cause it looks like a photo of you and Bobbie Latham standing in the crows nest on The Seahawk, you both look rather comfortable with each other."
"She was already on board when we landed, I didn't know she was going to be there."
Shaking her head; "Somehow I don't believe that."
"Ask Bud, he was with me the whole time."
"Where was he at when this photo was snapped?"
"Down in the legal office." Harm rubbed his hands over his face. "Sarah nothing happened between us."
"Just like nothing happened between you both before?"
"I never..."
"I know you've slept with her. Tell me is she still as good as now as she was than?"
"Sarah please."
"Don't you dare Sarah me, I'm not a fool Harmon Rabb, I know how men think, how they act, how they..." Harm stoped her by placing his lips on hers kissing her. She tried to fight him. But she just couldn't, she ended up melting into his embrace. Giving into the feelings he was arousing in her. After a while they broke the kiss. Both a bit breathless.
"God Harm you must hate me..."
"No; No.. never, I can see why you're upset. I would be too."
"I should trust you more than that, I know your not your father..." It was now that Harm understood why Mac reacted the way she did, everything went back to his father.
"Baby; I made a vow to you and our kids, I will never break that vow, I'll never hurt you in that way. I promise you.."
"God I know that; just when I saw that picture I was just so angry with you. I almost packed up Tommy and left."
"What stoped you?"
"I remembered that night you came to the apartment when you broke out of the hospital, you where so sacred that you where like your father, I saw the fear in your eyes. I knew I had to stay,if for other reason to hear what you have to say. Harm I love you so much."
"I love you too. God it would kill me to loose you and the kids."
Taking a long deep breath; she took Harm by the hand and led him to their bed, "Make love to me. Let me feel you."
Taking his wife in his arms, he laid her down on the bed, reconnecting with her..
