Robert's residence
Mac was holding AJ and talking with Bobbi Latham. AJ struggled out of Mac's arms and ran over to his mother. " Mommy can we put the music on?" asked Aj wide eyed." Sure hunny, go tell daddy and Uncle Harm to pick out a station." With that Aj jumped out of his mom's arms and raced to Bud. " Daddy, mommy said we can put the music on. I want to dance." " Okay son. I'll put it on." Bud walked to the table and turned the radio on. It was a country station and some of the guest starting swaying to the beat. Mac found herself swaying as the song drifted over the cool night air. Harm came over carrying AJ and started talking with Mac and Bobbi. " Uncle Harm I like this song. Can you me and Aunt Mac dance together?" asked AJ. Harm looked at Mac. " Of course squirt. Come on Harm. Harm held little Aj on his hip and put his other arm around Mac's back. Mac put one arm around AJ and the other around Harm's neck. Mac put her head on Harm chest and smiled as the song began to play.
When I think back
On these times
And the dreams
We left behind
I'll be glad 'cause
I was blessed to get
To have you in my life
When I look back
On these days
I'll look and see your face
You were right there for me
In my dreams
I'll always see your soul
Above the sky
In my heart
There always be a place
For you for all my life
I'll keep a part
Of you with me
And everywhere I am
There you'll be
Mac looked up in Harm's eyes to see a tear rolling down his cheek. It was so unlike Harm. He never showed his emotions. This song really touched him though. Mac reached up and wiped the tear away as she kissed his cheek. Harm smiled and looked at Mac lovingly. AJ looked at his godparents then at his mom, Bobbi, and Meredith. The three women smiled and AJ put a huge grin on his face. Only then did Bud, Sturgis, and the admiral realize what their women were doing. They looked at each other and smiled. Everyone knew Harm and Mac loved each other, but the guys decided a long time ago not to interject. The women did enough of that. The admiral couldnt help but think that if Harm and Mac were together, everything would be right again. Everyone would be happy. He only wanted to see his two senior officers happy. Even if eventually he would have to pull admiral's privliege to keep them at JAG. He would never openly admit it, but he loved his people. He only wanted them to be happy.
Well you showed me
How it feels
To feel the sky
Within my reach
And I always
Will remember all
The strength you
Gave to me
Your love made me
Make it through
Oh, I owe so much to you
You were right there for me
'Cause I always saw in you
My light, my strength
And I want to thank you
Now for all the ways
You were right there for me
You were right there for me
For always
The song had ended and Mac, Harm and AJ stopped dancing. Aj squirmed out of his Harm's arms while his godparents stood there holding hands and staring into each others eyes. Aj raced into Harriet's arms. " Mommy did I do good?" AJ asked happily. " Yes hunny you did very good." Harriet said as she kissed her sons forehead.
" Mac do you want to take a walk?" Harm asked.
" Yeah Harm. We need to talk." Mac said. She took his hand in hers and lead him out of the yard. They walked down the street until they came to a park. Harm and Mac sat on a bench and looked up at the stars. After a minute Mac realized they were still holding hands. She looked at Harm and he was already staring at her. An uncomfortable silence feel over them.
After about 5 minutes Harm decided to go first, " Mac, I am sorry."
" For what Harm?"
" For everything. Everything I ever said or didnt say for that matter that hurt you." Harm said as he rubbed little circles on the back of her hand with his thumb.
" Harm, I want to put that behind us. You leaving to return to flying, my almost marrying Mic, Renee, Australia, the ferry, Paraguay, everything. We are best friends and we always will be. There will always be a piece of my heart that you hold, if not all of it." Mac said as tears began gathering in her eyes.
" Mac we will always be best friends. I will never let anything get between us again. Mac teh first time I met you I felt the electricity. I just chose to ignore it. You looked so much like Diane that I thought I was falling for you because of it. After Arizona I realized it was the complete opposite. I was falling for you, the stubborn, jarhead, Marine. My Marine. Did I ever tell you when I called Rennee Mac?" Mac shoke her head and Harm continued." It was when I had gotten the head injury. I thought I was going nuts. Everytime I saw you, I saw you in an evening gown. Then at home when Rennee was coming out of the shower in a bathtub, I saw you. I kept saying Mac. Then is when I realized that I want you and only you. I could never get close to another woman because only one woman holds my heart. You Sarah hold my heart. You are everything I want for the rest of my life. I dont want to lose you to anything. Ill give up whatever it taked to have you. Flying, the Navy, anything." Harm said looking into Mac's eyes. Tears were flowing freely down Sarah's face. Harm saying Mac's name sent shivers up her spine.
" Oh Harm. I don't want you to give up anything. I don't care if we have to be secretive. I just want you. I want to fall asleep and wake up in your arms. I want to kiss you at will. I just basically want you. I love you Harm. I have for a lot of years" Mac said as she ran her fingers aroud Harm's face.
" I love you too Sarah. I dont think we would have to keep it secret though. Everyone at the office saw this before we did." Harm and Mac laughed at this. It was true everyone did realize it first. How could 2 very smart people be so dense. Harm took Mac in his arms and brished his lips against hers lightly. Mac deepened the kiss. They broke apart gasping for air.
" SO, I guess we are dating?" asked Mac smiling.
" Mac I think we are waaaaayyyyyy past dating. We are together, going steady, going out, whatever you want to call it." Harm stood up and pulled Mac up kissing her one last time before they headed to the house hand in hand.................
