Chapter 9.
2155 ZULU.
ROSELAKE HOTEL.
Harm sat with his feet in the swimming pool thinking of what his mother had said when he heard footsteps behind him.
"Hey there flyboy, want some company?" came a quiet voice.
"Hey. Sure." he replied looking at her and wondering how after all she had been through she still managed to look as beautiful as she did.
Mac sat down next to him.
"I've been speaking to your mom. She tells me you're pretty down on yourself over this?" she said quietly looking into his deep blue green eyes.
"Yeah well Mac I pushed you into his arms and look what he did to you."
"And why did you do that Harm? why did you do it if you loved me?"
"Mom told didn't she?" Harm said smiling "Mac I was so scared. When you were going to tell me I just couldn't handle it and..."
"You just ran away right?"
"Right. Hey you ran to Brumby too remember. You broke my heart when you got engaged to him."
"And you think you didn't that night when you pushed me away? Harm I've loved you since the first moment I saw you...I love that smile, I love your face...I love your ass." she added making him laugh "Harm you're the only guy I have ever been able to see myself getting married to, having children with or growing old and decrepit with, you stole my heart flyboy."
she told him.
"And you ninja girl stole mine too. Damn it Mac I love you so much, I always have done and I always will...I guess I was scared more than anything, that's why I ran. I never wanted you to be with Brumby, it crushed me to see you with him..."
"What about you and Renee?" Mac asked.
"That was just sex." Harm answered playfully.
"Harmon Rabb well I never." Mac said gently swatting him.
"Truthfully I guess I wanted something to take my mind off you and Bugme and Renee happened to be there, Mac I never loved her if that's what you mean, I only ever loved you, I only ever could love you."
"Then when you came back from flying...that was tough..."
"Yeah I don't quite know what happened there."
"Maybe all that testosterone got to your head?"
"Or jet fuel fumes?"
"Yeah or that." he answered stroking her face. "But that's past now, Brumby, Renee..."
"Not testosterone I hope, that can be a turn on." Mac told him with a giggle. "But you're right they are in the past and us..."
"We're the future." he finished taking her hand in his. "Sarah Catherine Mackenzie you are my angel you know that? you've had my heart from the very first moment I saw you and you'll always have it. I don't ever want to lose you marine, not in this lifetime or any other if you believe in reincarnation and all that, I just want to hold you in my arms and..."
In the midst of his declaration she kissed him, their love pulsating through them as their souls melded into one.
"I love you too Harmon Rabb Jr, I always have and I always will no matter what. You got my heart flyboy, you always have had it, you're my soul Harmon Rabb Jr...don't you ever forget it." she replied stroking his face and then pulling him in close to kiss him.
Suddenly both lost their footing and went into the swimming pool still entwined in each others arms. Harm brushed Mac's now wet hair away from her face, Mac stroking his tenderly and they stayed there in the water kissing each other hungrily and holding each other tight.
In the lounge Trish Burnett had joined the others watching Romeo and Juliet, having decided to share Courteneys room at the hotel and stay for the wedding. She liked the young couple and only wished that her pep talks with Harm and Mac had done the trick. The group were now watching the swimming pool scene in the film where Romeo and Juliet kissed each other hungrily in he pool. Harriet was laying still with her arms wrapped lovingly around her husband, their baby still wide awake playing with Sydney. Trish got up to get a drink from the cabinet by the window and saw a sight that made her warm with joy. She could see her son and Mac in the swimming pool in each others arms under the starlit sky.
"Speaking of this scene in Romeo and Juliet come take a look at this?" she stated to the others in the room who all piled up at the window to peep.
"That's so sweet!" Harriet stated excitedly.
"It certainly is. Well back to the movie people." A.J said with a smile, actually enjoying the film.
"You know this is against regulations Sir." Jack stated.
"Yes I am aware of that but will not do anything about it. Son when you've seen people going through what that pair have to finally be brought together you're willing to put your ass on the line for them." he beamed sitting back down.
"I'm glad they're fnally happy sir." Bud stated snuggling up to his wife on the chair.
"Me too." Harriet said smiling, laughing as little A.J started clapping his tiny hands in agreement.

ROSELAKE HOTEL.
Harm and Mac entered the hotel soaked and wanting to go and get changed among other things. They walked to the stairs peeping in the lounge on their way to see the group watching Romeo and Juliet, baby A.J giggling at the top of his lungs while Bud blew kisses onto his tummy. Harm grabbed Mac's hand.
"Guys we're just going to get changed into some dry clothes we'll be down in a while." Harm told them grinning at Mac.
"Okay kids." A.J replied in a funny voice " Just make sure you don't wear out the bed springs when you're up there will you or I'll have to pay the damages." he joked turning back to
the film. Harm and Mac looked at each other and smiled knowing they had their Admirals blessing. "Congratulations guys it's about time." he said sincerely as the others turned aound and beamed at them.
"Now go and warm yourseves up before you catch pneumonia." Trish stated making the others laugh.
"Why don't you head upstairs, I have a call I have to make." Harm told Mac who gave him a puzzled look but went anyway. He went to the phone and dialed.
"Martha hi, I need a favour I know it's short notice..."
