A Party to Remember

I don't own the characters.

If anyone is actually reading this story I've fastforwarded time slightly so that it is now the night of the party. Chloe is helping Mac, Harriet, and the Admiral's date Sophia get ready.

Chapter 3 (I think)

"Chloe where are my earrings," Mac yelled from her bedroom. She came running out of the bedroom in her robe, pulling up her nylon stockings. "Right here Mac, Chloe said running out with them. "Thanks," she said as the two of them went back into her bedroom where Harriet and Stella had already put their makeup on. Mac's hands shook as they fumbled to put her matching necklace on that Harm had bought for her on Christmas two years ago. "Mac, your shaking like a leaf," Harriet said clasping it for her. "She's nervous about her date with Harm," Chloe said in a sing song voice. "Chloe," Mac said smiling as she threw a pillow at the young girl. "Oh is that it. I know that I haven't known you that long, but do you love him," Stella asked pulling on her nylons. All eyes were on Mac as she took a slow deep breath. "I do, and it's not something that I could have stopped, but it is something that I've had inside of me for a long time. It's going to have to stay deep in my heart until I know that Harm is ready for us to be together, because I know that is the one relationship I can't mess up," Mac said her eyes tearing up. "Now don't cry, we haven't even gotten your make up on yet," Chloe said coming over and hugging her.

An hour later Harriet and Stella sat in Mac's living room, dressed in their ball gowns waiting for Mac. Harriet was in a beautiful navy blue strapless gown and Stella wore a beautiful white spaghetti strapped gown that hung onto her every curve. "We're going to be late Mac," Harriet yelled. Chloe came out of the room, a huge grin on her face. "It's my honor to introduce my big sister, the beautiful and sexy Sarah Mackenzie. The women's faces turned to shocked expressions as they saw Mac come out of her bedroom. She looked gorgeous in a floor length red spaghetti strapped gown with a tight bodice and slit that went half way up her thigh. "Oh my god Mac, you're going to give Harm the shock of his life," Harriet said running over to hug her friend.

After dropping the kids off at Harriet's to "uncle Mikey", the three women headed to the ball where their date awaited. They pulled up as the valet parker stood in awe of the three ladies then quickly took the keys. Mac stood back for a moment as Harriet and Stella continued on. They both turned around noticing their friend was no longer with them. "Mac, what's wrong," Harriet asked? "I'm nervous. I mean what if Harm doesn't like the dress," Mac said her face worried. "She's definitely in love. Mac, I've known you and Harm for a long time and I've learned that through all the men and women that have gone through your lives, the two of you love each other so much that you just can't see the others love. What you both need is tonight," Harriet said. Mac just smiled and they continued up the stairs and walked into the luxurious ball room. They immediately noticed the men at the bottom of the stairs in the their gorgeous dress whites. The three of them were talking to Clayton Webb, their back's turned to the three women at the top of the stair case. "Where are your dates for this evening," Clay asked? "I don't know about their dates, but I know those three women at the top of the stairs are the most gorgeous women to walk into this place," Clay's friend said. The four of them turned to see Mac, Harriet, and Stella walking down the stairs.

Harm took in a sharp inhale of breath as he stared at Mac. He was almost in a daze as he watched her come down the staircase, slowly descending each one, appreciating the way she seemed to float, loving the way the dress hung on her every curve. The Admiral, Bud, and Webb watched as all others seemed to disappear from Harm and Mac's views. "Not bad Colonel," Harm said as he took her hand and kissed the top of it. "Well you know what they say about dress whites and gold wings don't ya," Mac said a smile playing on her lips. "You all look wonderful, why don't we head to our table," AJ suggested as they made their way through the large crowd. They all sat their reminiscing on their times at JAG having no idea just how much their lives were about to change.
