(You know, I was going to demand ten reviews before I posted
the next part, but I was feeling kinda nice, so I decided not
to. Aren't I so nice? See last chapter for disclaimers. AND
PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Fade in.
(Sturgis's POV)
The look the doctor had on his face when Harm asked him if Mac and the baby were alright, made my heart drop into my stomach. I knew that look, and it was not a good one.
"Your son is just fine Mr. Rabb. He is going to be watched closely tonight, but I'm sure he is going to be just fine."
"And my wife?"
"The knife room, nicked a vital artery, and she lost a lot of blood. It took us two times to revive her, and she is holding her own now."
"Can I see her?"
"Only for a minute, she needs to rest now."
When Harm came back from seeing Mac, I could tell that he wasn't holding up, by how pale he looked. It took some convincing but I finally convinced harm to let me drive the home. The drive was quiet, and I could tell that Josh was asleep in the back seat.
"How you holding up man?"
"I'll be okay."
"I never said congratulations. Congratulations man."
"For what?"
"You're a father man."
"I am aren't I?"
"It's a hell of a way to come into the world, but you are now a father."
"I don't want to raise them on my own Sturgis, I don't think I can."
"You can't think like that. Mac is tough, she'll make it. You just got to have a little faith."
"You should have seen her in there Sturgis; she looked so bad with all of those tubes and wires coming out of her."
"She just had a baby man, she's gonna look like that."
"She also had major surgery, Sturgis! Damn it I almost lost her tonight!"
"But you didn't. And if she wouldn't have gone into Josh's room, you probably would have lost him."
"I know."
"I'll call the Admiral in the morning, and tell him what happened."
"It is morning," I said and pointed to the digital clock. Harm grunted and sighed.
"Three in the morning and this day is starting out just as bad as the last."
"Did the doctor say how long Mac would be in the hospital?"
"There going to be in there at least until Friday, for both her and the baby."
"Have you thought of any names yet?"
"We had a few, but nothing definite yet. We thought we had another month to go"
Once we got to his house, I helped Harm get a sleeping Josh into his room. The cops had cleaned up the blood on the floor, and cleaned up a little. Once I was sure Harm was okay, I headed home. I had court at seven tomorrow, I needed to get some sleep.
(Webb's POV)
I knew getting these guys out of Russia would be a big problem. The risk of being shot down was too high, but we had to take the risk. I went to sit next Lieutenant Rabb as we cleared Russian air space.
"You okay?" I asked him.
"I'm going home. After thirty years of being away from my wife and son, I'm going home. I don't know if he even remembers me, he was only six years old when I was shot down. I hope to God my wife remarried and gave him a father figure. That's all I ever wanted for him when I knew I wasn't going home, was someone to take care of my wife, and my son. What will I have to go back to?"
"More then you know lieutenant, more then you know."
