A full minute later Mac pulled away and back slowly away from Harm until
she hit the wall and slid down to sit on the floor. She drew her legs up to
her chest. Harm watched her for a moment before crouching in front of her
and placing his hands on her knees.
"Breathe Mac, breathe." Harm whispered. Mac slowly let out the breath she had unconsciously been holding in ever since she had broken the kiss.
"What just happened?" Mac asked.
"I kissed you." Harm replied looking straight in her eyes. Mac took another deep breath to try and stop her heart from racing.
"Why?" She managed to spit out.
"Mac, you know the reason. You've known all along." He ran his thumb over the back of her hand, which was tightly gripping her knee.
"Harm, my brain feels like its disconnected give me a minute here."
"Okay." He shuffled round so he was sat next to her. Mac gently lent her head towards him; Harm lifted his arm and wrapped it around her shoulders so she could rest her head on his shoulder.

"So do you want to talk about it?" Harm asked after twenty minutes of silence.
"Can we just sit here for a little while longer?" Mac said flicking her eyes up to look at him.
"What ever you want Mac." Harm placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. "Whatever you want."
After another ten minutes Mac let out a deep sigh. "Okay, I'm ready to have this conversation now."
"Do you want to start or do you want me to?" Harm asked.
"I don't think I can. My heart is too fragile at the moment."
"Mac." He brushed her hair behind her ear. "We've started to have this conversation so many times, I want to finish it today. We need to finish it."
"What are you trying to say Harm?" A tear rolled down Mac's cheek. "I need you to actually say it this time." She said as she moved to face him.
"I'm ready to let go Mac." He brushed the tear away with his finger. "I love you Sarah."
"I love you too Harm." She whispered.
"You're not going silent on me again if I kiss you again are you?" He teased. Mac shot him a watery smile and shook her head. Harm gently placed his hands either side of her face before delicately taking her lips with his.
"You know you're really good at that." Mac whispered.
"Doesn't mean we don't need to work on it." He kissed her again.
"Umm." Mac mumbled.
In what seemed like an ion Harm whispered.
"Do you want to watch the sunset?" Mac nodded. He took her hand and led her to the edge of the balcony and sat down with his legs just dangling over the edge. Mac settled between his legs her back leaning against his chest, his arm tightly wrapped around her waist.
Harm started to sing gently into her ear as the sky lit up with colour as the sun went down.
~ ... You can't hide Beautiful
You can't hide wonderful
There's nothing that she has to do
It just comes natural
She makes it look easy
I love what she does to me
No way to disguise
The way that she shines
You can't hide beautiful .. ~
A/N: Sorry this chapter is so short but I was getting a bit teary as I wrote it. I honestly don't know why. I've only ever seen five episodes of JAG. The Surface Warfare Ball episode and the last four episodes of season eight. None of which had particularly Harm and Mac together shippy intensive moments, well the last did kind of but.............
