Falls Church Hospital

Harm sat in a cold, hard chair in the waiting room of the Hospital. He was fidgeting with his hands and he didn't hear when the doctor called to him. The doctor came up and tapped on his shoulder.

"Excuse me sir, are you here with Miss. Mackenzie?"

Harm looked up his eyes wide in anticipation to find out what is wrong with his best friend and love of his life. "Yeah" he replied almost inaudibly.

"She's awake and would like to see you, follow me." They seemed to be walking down that hallway forever; he needed to see her with his own eyes. His heart crumbled in his chest when she collapsed into his arms this morning. He couldn't imagine anything to be wrong with his beautiful jarhead.

The doctor stopped and turned toward Harm, "I'll be back in five minutes or so to explain her condition to you."

Harm just nodded, "her 'condition'?" He tapped gently on the door and opened it up. When he looked inside he smiled as he saw Mac sitting up on the bed filling out a small crossword puzzle.

"Hey Jarhead, how are you doing'?

She looked up at Harm and smiled. "Hey Harm. I'm fine.just a little dizzy, but I'm fine." She hated to make Harm worry about her and she could see the concerned look in his deep blue eyes.

He looked at her with that look that screams yeah right! And stared at her while waiting for an explanation.

She could feel his eyes on her so she looked up and slumped. "What?"

"Uh.did you hear any news from the doctor? Did he tell you what's wrong with you?" Harm stared deeply at her wondering why she was avoiding the question.

Mac looked back down at her crossword puzzle, "It's nothing" she paused "you know what.I'm hungry!" She couldn't handle telling him what the doctor had told her, she was so afraid. She had to be strong, if not for herself than for him.

"Mac.why are you changing the subject, what's wrong?" He was getting really scared now, why is she trying to act like nothing happened?

Mac closed her eyes tightly to try to hold back the tears that were sure to come. She chuckled, "God Harm, why do you always have to be so damn persistent?" She looked at him and smiled.

"Mac what's wrong? Please just tell me." He pleaded with her. He was becoming more fearful by every passing breath.

Mac was about to open her mouth when the doctor came through the door. "Hello, I'm Dr. Phillips." He said while reaching out to shake Harm's hand. He looked over at Mac and asked, "Did you tell him yet?" She shook her head no, and gave Harm a sad glance. How can I tell him? She thought to herself.

The doctor picked up on this and looked at her. "Will it make it easier if I were to tell him?"

She smiled and said, "Actually it'd make it a lot easier, thanks."

The doctor sat down on his little rolling stool and looked over at a confused Harm. "Well we think that there might be some kind of blockage in Sarah's brain. We want to have her get an MRI so we can try and find what it is. Most likely it's a tumor, and if it is we need to find out as soon as possible whether it's cancerous or not."

Harm just sat back and let this all sink in. He couldn't believe that the doctor was saying this; there is nothing wrong with Sarah. "How could that be? She just went to the doctor a day ago and he told her that it was just stress."

Mac knew that he was going to take this bad; after all he is her best friend, even more than that. "That was just a prognosis Harm, he wanted me to come back in a week anyway to make sure."

The doctor cut in, "Well I suggest you go home and rest now Sarah, you will have to come in, in the morning to get that MRI done. I'll see you then, I wish you the best."

With that the doctor left Harm and Mac alone. Mac stood up, "Well I guess we had better get going huh?" He looked over at her. * God I love her so much * He thought to himself. * I can't bear to lose her, I won't lose her, they don't even know for sure if she has it or not. * He walked up to her and grabbed her hand, and they walked out to his car together.
