From Chapter 3:

Doctor Hayes looked up.  "Get me a stretcher, three units of O neg. and gauze.  I have to stop the bleeding before we move her."

            One of the nurses rushed out to get what the doctor needed.  Another helped Harm to his feet and out of the room.  "Sir, is there anyone you can call?"

Chapter 4:

            Harm was sitting in the waiting room of the ER when the admiral, Bud and Harriet came running in. 

            Harm was sitting in shock, Mac's blood all over.  Before anyone could ask what happened, Doctor Hayes emerged from the trauma room looking tired but hopeful.

            "Commander.  Admiral.  We lucked out.  Another sixteenth of an inch and she would have gotten her aorta.  She's sedated, stitched up and restrained.  You can see her but I'm afraid that it is not a pretty scene.  She lost so much blood that we almost lost her three times.  Follow me."

            They were led to the trauma room where Harm was the only one to make it past the doors.

            The admiral, Bud and Harriet quietly discussed Mac's condition with Doctor Hayes and then left, knowing that Harm wouldn't notice.

            Harm sat next to her bed, holding her hand.  "Oh Sarah.  Why didn't you let me know sooner?  This never had to happen.  Please, wake up and tell me what's wrong."

            "Commander?  Can I see you for a minute?"

            "Sure," Harm said as he rose from the stool.  "What is it?"

            "When we did the blood work on the colonel, we also ran a pregnancy test because we had suspicions about her recent weight gain.  It's positive."

            Harm stood in complete shock, memories flashing through his mind.  "Are you sure?"

            "Very.  I ran the test again to double check.  I'm sorry to tell you this."

            "No, it's ok.  I'm the father."

            "Well, then I guess that congratulations are in order.  I will be transferring the colonel to the ICU and then she will be brought back downstairs.  If you have any questions please let me know," the doctor said.

            He was about to leave when a nurse brought over a sheet of paper.

            "Um, commander.  There is something wrong here."

            "What is it?"

            "The colonel was not taking an anti-depressant like we thought.  It was actually a hallucinogen disguised as a prescription.  Any idea where she could have gotten this?"

            "Yeah, I think so.  Thank you doctor."
