Mac was awake starring out the window. This had been the most fabulous night ever. Harm had made love to her. Proving that what he'd said really was the truth. He had been so gentle. God she wished they had done this much sooner. She looked over at the bed and the sleeping figure in it. He was so handsome. She didn't think anyone, at least not women, could not be affected by his looks and charm. But there was so much more to harm than that. Just as her, he too had a troublesome childhood. His father being shot down almost killed him more than once. It had been the not knowing. There had always been a chance that he was still alive, and that had kept Harm from moving forward with his life for a long time. That had all changed after their trips to Russia. Mac looked at the moon, and didn't see the figure come up from behind putting his arms around her.
"What are you doing out of bed?" he asked pulling her closer.
"I Was just thinking about all that we've been through. A lot has happened since that day in the rose garden." She answered him still looking outside.
"Yes it has, and the best part is only just beginning." He said turning her around to face him "I love you Sarah, I always have and I always will. You've helped me through some of the hardest things I have ever had to do, and that's probably the only reason I'm still here today. I owe you my life and it will be yours for as long as you want it"
"That will be forever then." she said and kissed him. "Lets go back to bed and get some sleep before you have to go back. I don't want anyone to find out and blow your cover. That is not the way I think the Admiral should find out about the change in our relationship."
"I agree. He's been there for the both of us, and I really don't want him to feel that he made a mistake in trusting us."
"Harm. What do you think will happen when we get back?" she asked as they laid back down and she laid her head on his chest.
"I don't think there will be too much trouble. If I understood the scuttlebutt back at JAG correctly, even he's placed a bet in the office pool."
"Office pool?"
"You didn't know? It turns out that everyone's been betting on when we were supposed to become an item. I think they're up to almost 10 000 dollars now."
"Wow! I wonder who's the lucky winner."
"Maybe it's Singer." Harm exclaimed. They both looked at each other and burst out laughing. The thought of Singer actually betting on something that could make two people this happy, was something so unthinkable that they couldn't even imagine it. She was more likely to bet for the opposite.
The laughter faded out and they curled up together, both thinking they were the luckiest people alive. And that nothing would ever be able to destroy what had taken them so long to build.
