Summary: Set after "Make it a Double", Harm and Mac have gone through with

problems, and more heart ache, then they expected. Friends at JAG offer
support when it's needed. H/M. Possible tear jerker..break out the tissues.
A/N: This one may not come along as fast as the other one did. Hope you enjoy it anyway. R&R please!
Harm and Mac's house Washington, DC 0123 ZULU
Harm awoke with a start. Mac was sitting up in the bed, holding her stomach. A single tear rolled down her cheek.
"What's wrong?" asked Harm, a look of concern on his face.
"I don't know." admitted Mac. "I need to go to the hospital."
Harm jumped out of bed, threw on a sweat suit, and helped Mac to the car.
"Mr. Rabb, I would like to talk to you before you go in to see your wife." The doctor sat down in a waiting room chair next to Harm, and took a deep breath.
"What is it?" Harm whispered. "Will Mac be okay?"
"Mr. Rabb, were you aware that your wife was pregnant?" the doctor asked.
"Pregnant? No.that's wonderful!" Harm smiled.
"Calm down, sir.let me finish." The doctor frowned. "Your wife was pregnant. Probably a month or so along. What happened tonight was caused by several problems.some weakness we've found in her immune system."
"And?" Harm knew what the doctor would say, but he had to hear it for himself.
"She's had a miscarriage, sir. She lost the baby.." The doctor whispered, a somber look in his eyes. "We've told her already." He said. "And we've done all we could to make her as comfortable as possible. We'd like to keep her here over night though, if that's alright with you?"
"Yes." Harm nodded. "May I see her now?"
"She's in room 211. If you'd like, I can have one of the nurses bring you in a pillow and blanket. You can stay with her until tomorrow morning." He suggested.
"I'd like that." Harm agreed. "Do you have a phone I could use? I need to make a phone call."
"Down the hall." The doctor pointed to a telephone booth practically across the hall from Mac's room.
The Admiral's House Mclean, Virginia 0200 ZULU
"Who the hell is this? It's two a.m. in the morning." the Admiral growled.
"Sir." Harm whispered. "It's Harm."
"What is it, Commander?" the note of annoyance had yet to leave the Admiral's voice.
"I'm at the hospital with Mac right now, sir." Harm told him. "She's sick. She had a miscarriage, and they want to keep her here overnight."
"She had a what?" the Admiral went from annoyed to worried. "Will she be okay?"
"Yes, sir." Harm frowned. "I was wondering if I could come in to work a little late tomorrow, sir. I'd like to spend the day with Sarah." He whispered.
"Commander, don't come in at all tomorrow. For crying out loud!" the Admiral was distressed. "I'm sorry to hear all this, Commander. Tell Mac that I'm sorry, and to use some of that leave she's accumulated."
"Yes, sir." Harm sighed, hanging up the phone. "Thank you."
"No need, Commander." Smiled the Admiral.
