Trisha looked out over the ocean it used to being her peace and joy. Even after her first husband had been shoot down it bright her joy. But now it was just water just something people played in and planes crashed into. Why did her son have to go that way. She always thought in when he first enlisted that he would be killed by a plane but then he was grounded due to his eyes and she felt her fears laid to rest. That was until he had his eyes fixed but that was a short time until he was back on the ground. When he called her to tell her he was going to be flying again he did not seem happy it was almost like he was sad. She only wish she knew why. She did not get into more of that as the phone was ringing. She hated the sound of it always afraid that the voice on the other said would tell her that they found her son's body and was shipping him home to be buried. At least then she would have a grave to visit unlike his dad where there was only a wall.
She answered the phone sitting down like she always did just in case it was bad news. "Mrs. Burnett this is Sarah Mackenzie I worked with Harm at JAG." Trisha was thinking the worst but replied "Mac how are you doing? And please call me Trisha." The reply she got almost knocked her right out of her chair and she thinks it would have if Frank had not been standing behind her. "I am doing good. The reason I called is a good one to hear I hope. Please know that I did not plan this to happen and that I wish had happened another way. I really want Harm to be the one to tell you but I am six months pregnant." Trisha was a little shocked at what she was hearing. "I don't know he was dating anyone."
"We were not dating when it happened but it did open up a way of talking about us. Harm had asked me on a date for the day after he got sent back to fly.. I should say that was before he knew about having to go back and fly."
"How are you doing with all of this?" Trisha did not know how to ask how Mac knew the baby was Harm's if they had not been together but then she remembered about seven months ago Harm had went undercover for some guy need Webb and she remembered that Harm had said something about Mac being with him. "I am doing as well as I can still trying to wrap my head around the fact that I am having twins."
Trisha was glad she was sitting when she heard that not only was she going to be a grandma but she was going to be a grandma to twins. She just hoped that Mac did not think it rude when she asked the next question but they where her grandchildren. "Is there anything that you need help with?"
It took Mac a moment to reply but when she did Trisha was happy that the answer was not a no. "I was hoping that you and Frank could come look at houses with me. I want something that you both would love to stay in to."
At the end of the phone call they had made plans for the next weekend to have Trisha fly out and look at a few house with Mac and maybe do some shopping too. With the end of the phone call Trisha went back outside to look out over the ocean. She still hated it but her heart felt a little better and somewhere she swear she heard Harm Sr's voice telling her that Harm was okay and all would be well.
