Mac preceded to tell him her story, and he wanted to kick himself in the six. 'Geez, Rabb, could you be any denser?' he thought to himself. He had seen all the signs, but he just ignored them as usual. And, he knew now what Sturgis had been hiding, and why his two best friends had suddenly become so close. He just wished it had not taken them this long to admit it to each other, but he knew they needed this time to figure everything out. "Mac, I knew there was something that suddenly made you and Sturgis closer, but I had no idea that this is what it was. You must have felt like he was the person you could trust the least, next to Singer." Their thoughts turned to horrible times not that long ago. "I still can't believe she is gone. I keep expecting her to waltz through that door and try to take over JAG again."
"I know what you mean. We have not had time to really think it through, with you being arrested for her murder, and me leaving soon after you got out. We always seem to do that, miss each other like that. Why do we do that? Seem so close, only to have something come rip us apart when we should be together."
"I don't know Mac. I wish I could figure it out though. Maybe if we stop taking Webb's crazy missions, then it wouldn't happen so much," Harm joked.
"Well, we don't know if you will have the chance to even be a part of his crazy plans anymore. I know I don't plan on doing one of his missions again for a long long time, if ever again. I don't think he is the same person as he was before he was sent to Paraguay though. He actually told me he didn't even trust himself. I have never seen Webb like I saw him in Paraguay. He was not sure of anything anymore it seemed. I have never seen him like that. It was definately not the Webb we are use too. But, he did what he had to do to protect me, to protect the secret we were hiding. When it was found out that I was not pregnant, it became so much worse for him, and for me. I just could not stand to see him hurt anymore, he would not have made it. He was willing to die to save me, to keep me safe for a while longer. But, I could not have let him do that. I had to do what I had to do, just like he had to do what he had to do. Webb doesn't have anyone he can trust, except me, and you too."
Harm sighed. "If he trusts me so much, why didn't he just let you tell me about the mission?"
Mac smiled at this. "Harm, can you tell me one time that Webb has ever told us everything that we needed to know when we are on a mission? Even when there was the threat of a biological weapon at the Sudanese Embassy, he didn't tell us about it." Harm agreed with her, still a little peeved about the whole thing. "Harm, we are the only ones that he trusts to complete these missions. And, he thinks we are the best. That is why he keeps calling us in to help him."
"I know Mac. Can I ask you something?" He turned slightly to watch her out of the corner of his eye.
Mac sighed. She knew this was coming, and had been expecting it. "You want to know why I kissed him don't you?" She watched him nod. "Honestly, I don't know for sure. I just wanted thank him for everything he had done. He was in that state because of me. And, I didn't want to hear what I was scared he was going to say to me. I didn't want to hear some deathbed confessions coming out of his mouth. I could not have handled that then."
Harm reached over and put and arm around her shoulders, and pulled her close to him. "Thanks to you, Webb is alive. And thanks to him, you are alive. It is all going to be OK now." He felt her nod against his shoulder.
Mac felt warm and safe with his arms around her. She reached around him and put her arms around his chest and snuggled closer to him. "Now what Harm? Where do we go from here? I don't want to go back to the beginning. I don't want to talk about what happened in the past. I just want to know where we stand now, and what we do about the future."

As much as I disliked Singer, NC did a wonderful job playing her. Singer was that one character that we loved to hate. (does that make sense to anyone else?) Me personally, I am going to miss Singer. As much as she got on my nerves, she had her good qualities. I still wanna know who the daddy is....maybe we will be lucky enough to find out this season somehow....
