Livin' the High Life
*Chapter 9*
The wedding march began and the procession walked out of the house, across the back deck and down the aisle to the white arch. There were rows and rows of white folding chairs where the guests were seated.
The reception lasted well into the night and Mac and Harm were thoroughly exhausted. They said goodnight to the boys before going on to their hotel. When they got to the hotel, they just fell asleep even before they took of their clothing.

The next morning, Harm and Mac went into the bathroom together. While she used the toilet, she told Harm look away. Harm thought it was amusing about how modest she could be at times. Then it hit him.
"Hey Mac aren't you late?" he asked. She thought for a moment.
"No, we don't have to be at the Robert's until noon", she answered confused.
"That's not what I mean", he said. "I meant your period, isn't it late?" he asked although he already knew the answer.
Mac dropped the tube of lipstick on the counter. "I never thought of it, come to think of it, I'm a week late", she said. This could only mean one thing. "I'm pregnant", she said as she finally realized. Mac sat on the floor against the tub and began to cry.
It must be pregnancy hormones, Harm thought. He sat next to her and consoled her. "I'm scared Harm", she told him. Harm knew that it took a lot to make this Marine scared.
"Its okay Mac, I'm here with you, we can do this together", he assured her.
"And we just adopted Perry, It'll be a lot of work to look after him and the new baby", she said as she sighed. "But we get to have another kid and that's what we wanted more than anything in the world", she finished.
"Yeah", Harm commented. They laughed as Mac's stomach growled.
"I guess is time for breakfast", Harm said. "We can't starve little Junior", he added.
"Hell, we can't starve your Marine", she shot back. "What do you want?" Mac asked.
"I don't know, some fruit or something", he answered.
"Okay good, we're having Chinese food", Mac announced.
"Chinese?" Harm whined as Mac dragged him out the door.
There was a Chinese food restaurant across the street from the hotel. It was a buffet so they could eat whatever they wanted. Mac piled her plate full of everything they had, while Harm took a spoonful of chop suey.
"One thing I'm not looking forward to is the rapid weight gain and swollen ankles", Mac told Harm during mouthfuls of food.
"Why, you didn't look that bad", Harm commented.
"Right, then why did you stop referring to me as your wife?" Mac asked playfully. "Instead you said 'This is Sarah'", she added.
"Well, by then everyone knew that we were married", Harm told Mac.
"Yeah, except for Renee and her husband who thought Mic was the father of my child", Mac said. "You didn't even tell her that we broke up!" she exclaimed.
"Well, Renee was going through a hard time then and I didn't want to bother her about the break up", Harm explained.
"Right, you just wanted her to come back to you and you didn't want her to know that there was a possibility of you getting together with me", Mac decided as Harm began to get offended. "But too bad for her, I got you and she got stuck with the necrophiliac", Mac said loudly as if Renee were sitting at the table next to them.
"Yes you did get me and in the end that's all that matters", Harm concluded as he leaned over the table and gave Mac a quick kiss on the cheek.

Yes I know this chapter is short but I can't write anymore if I want to get the next chapter out before I die. No, I'm not terminally ill, but we'll all die eventually. This chapter was basically just filler so hopefully the next chapter will be better. The reason I haven't been able to post and write as much is because I've been working a lot. This week I only get one day off. Well, I have to think of an idea for the next chapter. Bye, From: Amanda P.S. Could someone please check if my web page is still working, my computer isn't working properly. Thanks, here's the site address.
