Outside Mac's Hospital Room
Upon reaching reaching the door, the nurse asked Harm to please remain in the hallway while she went it and checked Mac over. He walked back and forth, glancing down at his sleeping baby boy. Growing impatient; he started checking his watch, mumbling to himself "only 5 minutes, seems longer than that." After a few more minutes the nurse opened the door. "Mr Rabb you may come in now."
"Thank God." Harm mumbled as he picked up Tommy, making his way inside the room. The sight in front him torn his heart out, his wife was laying hooked up to machines and monitors still. As he approached he noticed she appeared to be sleeping. He looked over at the nurse whom was making notes in Mac's chart. "Shouldn't she be awake?"
"No we have her a very mild sedative; it's to help keep her BP down, her Doctor ordered it after it spiked once again. It's nothing to be alarmed by."Harm nodded his head. "Would you like me to see if I can find you anything to eat and drink?"
He smiled, "I think I'm okay."
She gave him look; "I know it's none of my business, but when did you eat last?"
Harm thought for a few minutes, he couldn't remember the last time he had eaten, he felt himself start to blush a little. "I'm not to sure, if you could track down a salad I'll take that."
"I'll see what I can find, I'll also have the nursery send up a crib for the baby."
"Thank you." The nurse turned to leave, she stoped when the door opened. "Is this Sarah MacKenzie's room?"
"Yes, you can go on in. Her husband is in with her now."The person nodded and headed on into the room.
Harm never bothered to look back to the door, he was startled when he felt a gentle hand on his shoulder. He glanced to the side. "Mom?"
"Yes; darling we came as quickly as we could. How's Sarah and the baby?"
"Not good mom. They have her sedated for right now, her BP keeps going up.Mom I've made a real mess of everything."
"Darling none of what happened is your fault, Admiral Chegwidden filled us in. You can't blame yourself."
"Yes I can! I can't help but think; I missed a clue or something that would have indicated something is wrong with her. I'm her husband, I'm suppose to know her better than anyone, yet I failed her, I failed to protect her, protect our baby. What kind of man does that make me?"
"Harmon Rabb Jr; listen to me. You're not a bad man, you're not a bad husband or father. You've done nothing wrong..."
"MOM; I hurt her in the worst way..." Harm broke down in tears. His mother went to him, taking her into his arms. "Son please believe me, I know in my heart that you'd never hurt her. You've been in love with her to long to allow that to happen."
"Photos don't lie mom."
"Did you kiss her back?"
"No; I pushed her away, and walked away her. I told her to stay away from me, I didn't know anyone took a picture, not until it showed up in the paper and the damage had been done. Sarah saw it before I had even gotten home. She was ready to walk away, and the truth is, she had every right to, and now on top of all this we found out that Sarah has endometriosis."
Trish just listened to her son, her heart breaking for him and Sarah. "Son can they treat her?"
"I don't really know Mom, her regular OB is coming to talk to us in the morning. Mom I'm scared, I can't loose her or our baby, I'll never make it without them." He looked over to his sleeping wife. "She's my whole world Mom. I can't loose her." Harm broke down once again, Trish once again took him into her and let him just cry.
Mac woke up to voices talking in her room, she followed the voices, that's when she saw Harm sobbing in his mother's arms, she tried to push herself up a tad bit more, but the pain in her lower back stopped her, causing her to let out a slight whimper. This caught Harms attention, he quickly got up and went over to her. "Baby are you okay? Do you need the nurse or Doctor?"
"No; all I want right now, is my husband. I want to lay in his arms, I want him to hold me."
Nodding his head, Harm stood and took off his shoes, he gently laid down next to Mac taking her into his embrace just like she asked him to do. Trish stood up and made her way over to the bed. She took Mac by the hand. "Darling we are here for you if you you need us."
Mac nodded her head; "Thank you Trish."
"Do you want us to take Tommy back to the house when we leave?"
Mac looked over to Harm; "He's your baby, honey it's up to you." She glanced over at her sleeping son. Knowing that Tommy would be in good hands with Trish and Frank. She nodded "yes". Trish patted her on the arm. "Don't you worry about your baby boy; he's in good hands."
"I know he is. Thank you." Trish picked up Tommy out of the crib; replacing him in his baby carrier. She turned and headed out of the room. Harm got up following her to the door. "Thank you, mom, I'll call you once we know more."
"Alright darling, take care of your wife and daughter for right now. Your little boy will be fine."Harm hugged his mother and placed a kiss on his son's head, he stood and watched his mom and Tommy walk back down the hallway.
After they out of sight, he closed the door and went back over to the bed; laying down next to Mac, he gently retook her in his arms, placing soft kisses on her head. It wasn't long before he felt her breathing start slow down, looking down he saw she was once again sleeping. He knew they were going to have a rough road ahead of them.
