"I don't want to go back to the beginning again either Mac, but I don't want to be at the end either. I want to be here, with you, and I want to be with you. I don't care anymore. I love you Sarah." He watches as she raises her head to look him in the eyes. There is shock and wonder in her eyes, and he smiles at her. "Yes, I finally said it. And I will say it again. I love you Sarah. As for where we go from here, what about we do the old fashioned thing, and date?"
"Date, Harm?" she watched him nod. She thought about it for a second before continuing. "That sounds good to me. But, we better keep this to ourselves for now. I don't want everyone knowing that we are dating right away. And what about the Admiral? He can't know Harm, not if you want to try to go back to JAG."
She heard Harm sigh before he told her. "Mac, when I resigned, the Admiral asked me what I was going to do when I found you. I think he already knows there is something. I think everyone already knows there is something between us. Even Sturgis knew there was something, and he only been there for less than a month when he first asked me about you."
"How is it that everyone seems to know about us except us?"
"I don't know Mac. But, that is part of the past...lets not think about it. The important thing is that we are moving ahead now." He watched her nod in agreement. Suddenly, he smiled. "You realize we finally had our talk? And it only took us a few years to do it." Harm and Mac both laugh at this. "Mac, I am not ready to end this night, but I am tired. There is still more to talk about, but I promise we can talk more later. What if we rented movies tonight and took them back to your place? I don't want to leave you anytime soon, and I am not ready to call it a night yet. But, I don't want to go out in public quite yet. I am not ready to face our friends yet."
"That sounds like a wonderful idea Harm. Let's go get movies and go back to my place." They began getting up, and Harm reached for his crutches. Mac was standing in front of him when he finally stood. Looking up at him, she still could not believe he had said it. His eyes were watching her as she took her arm and hooked him around the neck to bring his head lower to where it was a few inches from her's. "Harm, I love you too. I have for so long." Having said that, she pulled him the remaining space between them and kissed him.
The kiss said everything that they had and had not said that night. All the love, the apologies, the fears, the remore, it was all there. The kiss was soft, and tender. There were no more barriers, no more obstacles in their way. They would find a way to make this work, they silently promised each other. As they pulled away from one another, they smiled. Mac hooked her fingers back through his belt loops and walked beside him back to the car.
Later on, at the apartment, they were sitting on the couch. Harm had his back turned to the corner of the couch, and his feet propped up on the coffee table. Mac was sprawled across the couch, leaning against Harm's solid chest. He had one arm wrapped around her middle, and the other was laying next to her, fingers intertwined with hers. They had changed when they got back to her place into some shorts and T-shirts. Her's said USMC, and his was an old Academy one he had left over at her apartment at some point over the years. Harm glanced down at her, and found her fast asleep. Gently untangling himself from her, he reached for the controlers and turned off the TV and the VCR. He then looked at her. Very gently, he put one hand behind her back, and the other under her knees. He lifted her and limped towards her bedroom, where he layed her softly on top of her covers. He reached across her and pulled the covers off the other side of the bed and used them to cover her with. Just as he was laying them down over her, she woke enought to realize what he was doing.
"Harm," she whispered, "I can do that." She moved towards the other half of the bed and pulled the covers back over her. Then she reached over and held up the other side, the side she had just been laying on. "Harm, stay. You can't drive home, and you can't stay on my couch either. Please, stay here and hold me."
Harm watched her before slowly climbing in next to her. As he got comfortable, she scooted closer to him and put her head on his shoulder. "Night Harm," she said and fell fast asleep. He put his arms back around her and fell fast asleep.
