'I wish Mac would go home. Doesn't she need time to get ready for tonight?' Harm thought as
he absently watched her office door. 'I wonder if I can get Sturgis to leave early with me. Maybe
Mac wouldn't notice if we left together. I don't want her thinking that it takes me longer than her
to get ready.' Harm walked out of his office going in search of Sturgis, glancing into mac's office
as he walked by Harm saw that she was just sitting at her desk staring into space. Changing his
mind, Harm paused before her door knocking and opening it at her soft, "Enter."
"Hey Marine." Harm said grinning. "What are you doing?"
"Wondering why my so-called Secret Admirer didn't leave me anything today and debating
whether or not I can get out of here yet. I haven't had anything to do all afternoon. I really hope
we get some cases soon." replied Mac frowning slightly.
"Yeah, that would be nice. I don't know about your Secret Admirer," Harm said looking a little
uncomfortable, "but Valentine's Day won't be over for a while yet. You may still get something
from him. I think if we leave together, no one will ask where we are going. Want to get out of
here with me?"
"Okay," Mac says standing and gathering her things, "Let's get out of here, or I might be the one
who's late tonight."
Together they proceed onto the elevator getting off and escaping out the door. "So, I'll see you
later" Harm says heading for his car. "Okay, don't be late." Mac replies climbing into her car.
1829 Mac's Apartment
Harm knocks on the door, waiting a moment for Mac to open it. As she pulls back the door,
Harm smiles in greeting, letting out a soft "Wow" when he sees Mac's long strapless red dress.
"You look beautiful, Mac." Harm says stepping into her apartment, handing her a bouquet of calla
lilies and roses. "These are for you."
"Thanks, Harm. You look pretty nice, yourself." Mac says, returning the smile, as she accepts the
flowers before turning to put them away.
"Are you ready to go?" Harm asks, "Our reservations for 1900 hours."
"Yes, I'm ready." Mac replies, following him out the door.
They walk over to Harm's car, where Harm opens the door for her, shutting her in before
climbing into the driver's side. As they start down the road, Mac asks, "Now will you tell me
where we're going?"
"A little Japanese restaurant where we're meeting Bobbi and Sturgis." Harm answers, noticing
that Mac looks slightly disappointed at the mention of meeting other people. "At least, that's were
we are starting the evening."
"That sounds great."
Arriving at the restaurant, Mac and Harm find Bobbi and Sturgis waiting for them and are quickly
shown their seats. After making their decisions, they are entertained by the cook who prepares
their food on the table before them. Once served, they make small talk amongst themselves,
catching up on each other's lives and having a pretty good time. After finishing their food,
Sturgis invites Bobbi to dance, leaving Harm and Mac alone at the table.
"Are you having a good time so far, Mac?"Harm queries.
"Yes," answers Mac, "This has been a great evening. Thank you for bringing me here."
Hearing the song end, Harm invites Mac to dance as "At the Beginning" begins to play. Making
their way to the dance floor, Harm takes Mac into his arms as the words begin to play.
We were strangers
Starting out on a journey
Never dreaming
What we'd have to go through
Now here we are
And I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you
1. No one told me
I was going to find you
Unexpected
What you did to my heart
When I lost my hope
You were there to remind me
This is the start
Lost in thought as he listens to the song, Harm pulls Mac a little closer, fitting her against him.
Noticing how well they fit together, Harm looks down at Mac.
I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart
"Mac," Harm starts to speak then stops.
"Yes, Harm." Mac looks up at Harm expectantly.
The music ends as Harm unexpectedly places a light kiss on Mac's lips. "Are you ready to go? I
think, Sturgis has more plans for Bobbi tonight."
"Of course." Mac says a briefly confused, wondering what Harm was going to say. They say their
goodbyes to Sturgis and Bobbi and leave the restaurant. Once in the car, Harm says, "There is
one more stop I'd like to make if you don't mind, Mac."
"That's fine, Harm. The whole night is yours for whatever you want to do." Mac says quietly.
As Harm drives, Mac notices he seems a little nervous, making some small talk about the office
and his family. As he stops the car, she realizes where they are. Opening the car door, Harm
waits as Mac climbs out. Taking her hand he leads her into the Rose Garden where they first met
motioning for her to sit on a bench.
"I wanted to bring you here, to where I first met you." Harm begins. Mac opens her mouth to say
something, but Harm places a finger on her lips stopping her. "Just wait. I want to say this right
and I don't want there to be any confusion over what I'm trying to say this time. I think it will be
better if you just wait until I finish what I have to say."
"Okay, Harm." Mac agrees.
"We always talk and interrupt each other, making assumptions about what the other is going to
say or mean and then it gets all confused. I don't want that to happen tonight. Not too very long
ago, we decided that we were at the beginning, but we never really said the beginning of what. I
think maybe we need to talk about that. A few weeks ago, you asked me if I wanted to go back
on promise to have a baby with you and I told you no." Harm continues speaking, talking a little
faster having noticed the concerned look on Mac's face.
"I meant it, Mac. I really did, but I don't just want to have a baby with you. In fact, I don't know
if I could have a baby with you if that's all it was." Harm says, pausing for just a moment.
"Harm," Mac begins.
"Just a minute. I have one more thing to say. You're right about me being your "Secret
Admirer" this week. I want you to know that I do, admire you. You're everything I ever thought
I might want. I want you to know what it would be like if the two of us were together. I also
want you to know that after a week's build-up, I didn't forget to get you a Valentine's Day gift, I
was just waiting for the right moment." Harm says pulling a box out of his pocket. "This is for
you." He says waiting a moment as Mac opens it up to reveal a small silver heart-shaped locket
containing a tiny key with the inscription To: Sarah MacKenzie Love, Harm
Harm blushes slightly, looking a little flustered. "It's the key to my heart, Sarah. You've had it
for a long time. I just never could tell you. I love you, Sarah MacKenzie and I want to be more
than just the father of your baby."
"Will you put this on me?" Mac asks, with tears in her eyes. "Of course." After the necklace in
on, Mac turns around to face Harm again. "How could you ever think that a baby is all I wanted
with you, Harm? I want all of you. I love you and I'm so happy you're in my life, even though
we don't always get everything right. I think, though, that together, we might finally be getting
things right. Let's go home."
The End
A/N 2: I really hope you enjoyed the ending as much as the rest of the story. In a perfect world, a
scene like this would make me the happiest shipper. I just want to see them happy together.
