The next morning.
Mattie is having breakfast with Harm. Neither of them really talking. Then Mattie tired of the silence speaks up.
"Are you going to forgive her?"
"How can I?"
"She cares for you."
"Really, nice way of showing it. I am not even going to scream at you for getting in the middle of this."
"Harm she regrets saying what she said about not working out between you two."
"Well then why would she lie to me about Webb."
"Could it be that she thinks that she dose not have a place in your heart now that you have me, plus the fact that she thinks you would not forgive her for pushing you away."
"Mattie its time for you to go to school. ." He says then regrets in the way he said it. "Am sorry Mattie am just upset."
"I understand. Am going bye." She says as she leaves for school.
Jag Headquarters.
Mac looks out and sees Harm in the office. Their eyes met and he turns his head away. This really hurts her, she then realizes that she has truly lost him for ever. Tears start to form but before they could come down someone walks in about the case she is working on.
Harm sees Mac and does not know what to do about her. He wants to be pissed off at her but the fact that she thought that he would not forgive her kept coming in his head. He thought about how she would truly be alone this Christmas.
"Should I ask her over for Christmas" He says in a low voice.
"Ask who to Christmas?" Sturgis asks behind him.
"Oh no one. I was just thinking out loud. Well I hope you have a nice Christmas Eve" he says since today was the day before Christmas eve.
"Yeah you two. Oh, am guessing you were talking about Mac, ask her. She seems sad this season." He says as he walks away. Harm thinks it over but is not sure if he should.
The day goes on with nothing big happening. Harm and Mac pass each other a few times. Finally Mac goes to harm's office before she leaves for home to see if he is there. She sees him in there.
"Have a merry Christmas Harm." She says at the person whose head is looking down.
"Oh Mac. Thanks, you too." He says.
"Harm am sorry for lying to you. I know that you will not forgive me. I just wish I could take back what I said back in Paraguay. I was hoping you and Mattie would like to spend Christmas with me. Its up to you. I will be waiting tomorrow night at my house." She waits for him to say something but sees that he will not. She turns away with sadness all over her face. arm dose not knows what to do. He gets his things and heads home.
Harm's place.
He walks in and sees Mattie on the floor watching TV. She says hi and so doses he. He changes his cloths in his room.
"How was your day Harm?" She asks.
"It was the same and before you ask me about Mac we didn't really talk. She did come to my office to say she was sorry for everything. She invited us for Christmas."
"Are we going? Oh please I really like Mac." He just looked at her without saying anything.
Christmas Eve
Mac's place.
The fireplace is lit, stockings are hung on it with care. The Christmas lights are lighting the small, quite apartment.. Candles of all colors are around the house and are lit. There are different foods all around the place. Mac sits down on the couch wondering if he is going to come. Wondering if there is any hope for them, any hope for a future with him. Then there is a knock at the door.
She walks over to it and looks out only to see Mattie. She opens the door.
"Hi Mattie come in." She says as Mattie walks in, she looks out to see if harm is there but he is not.
"Am sorry Mac I tired to convince him to come. He dropped me off." She smiled. "He didn't want you to be alone , for all he tries he still loves you. He is just stubborn."
"Yes he is." Mac smiles at hearing the love part. "Lets just have fun and not think about it maybe he will come around."
"Yeah, I do have one question. Do you love him?" She asks as she starts to eat.
"Yes I do and before you ask. I don't know why I have never told him."
For the rest of the night they just talk about the old times Harm and Mac had. Mac had fun remembering the good times they had and how she feels in love with him.
Somehow Mac could not sleep the whole night. She was happy that she was not alone. She was grateful for Harm to think about her and how she was feeling. Morning came and she started to make breakfast.
She looked down at the Christmas tree and saw some presents that where not there before. She walks over to one and sees it from Harm. She wonders when that got there. She opens it and finds a cute baby outfit written on it is 'still want to have the baby deal'.
"Oh my god." She is still holding the cloth when the doorbell rings. She walks over to it, while all this is happening Mattie is in the other room watching. Mac opens it to fine Harm with gifts in his hands.
He says, "So the baby deal is coming up and we don't have anyone." He walks in and puts the things down.
"OH Harm dose this mean you forgive me?" she says hugging the baby cloth while tears of joy come down her face.
"Yes I forgive you." He says while she gives him a hug.
"Yes I would love to have a baby with you. I am so sorry for lying to you." She buries her head into him.
"Mac there is a place for you in my heart along with Mattie. I want be a family with you and Mattie. Of course with those children to come. I remember you saying at one point that I was the ideal father for your kids." He looks in to her eyes. She sees the pain all gone.
"I love you Harm." She kisses him for the first time in so long. The kiss is feel with the joy of loving someone.
"Sarah you know that is how I feel about you. Am sorry but I just can't-." she cuts him off with another kiss.
"Harm its ok, I know you love me. I just finally realized that I don't need to hear you say it. I know you will say it one day when you are ready. Mattie come out here please." Mattie comes out and hugs them.
"Thanks Sarah. Now how about we open presents."
The three of them sits around the Christmas tree like a real family. It's the picture of what a true family looks like. Once in a long time all three feel like they are not alone for the holidays.
The End.
