Disclaimer is in the first chapter which basically states that I don't own any of the characters, I'm just using them in my crazy stories.
Last Chapter:
So there's a room in my heart for you If your trust has been stolen too If you walk softly on this worn out wooden floor And leave behind you the hurt you've had before There's a room in my heart for you
As the song ended Harm spun Mac away from him then pulled her close, staring into her brown depths. He layed her back into a dip, their faces just inches apart, as their faces moved closer and closer...
Chapter 8: So Close to You
Just as their lips were about to meet, Bella's cries permeated the room, interupting Harm and Mac's perfect moment. Harm opened his eyes suprised staring back at Mac's equally surprised expression. Harm gently tipped her back upright, his hands still around her. "We'd better get her," Mac said. "Yeah," Harm said his voice still surprised as he followed her out of the room.
They entered Bella's room, turning on the light and hurrying over to her crib. Mac picked her up and bounced her gently. "Oh, what's wrong sweetie, huh," Mac asked. Mac felt her bottom and made a face. "She needs to be changed," Harm said saying what Mac was thinking. Mac nodded her head in agreement. Harm took her from Mac's arms and layed her down on the changing table. Harm began making faces at her to make her smile, while he unbuckled the bottom and lifted it up. He gently undid the diaper, his face moving away from her slightly. "Ugh! Bella that is the most horrible smelling thing I've ever had to deal with," Harm said plugging his nose with one hand. Mac came up behind him laughing. "You think this is funny Ninja Girl," Harm said smiling. "Yes, very funny," Mac said still laughing as she handed him a wipe and a diaper. Mac took the dirty diaper and put it into the diaper genie.
Bella was all smiles as Harm picked her back up. "Well your certainly happy now, now that you've made Daddy make a funny face," Harm said smiling at the little girl. "I think she just wanted to see daddy do some dirty work," Mac said coming up to them. Bella began to yawn again, raising her tiny hands into the air. Harm looked from Mac, to Bella, and over to the rocking chair by the window. "How about a story to help her fall asleep," Harm suggested walking over to the bookshelf. "Alright," Mac said. Harm handed Mac, Bella, then sat down in the rocking chair. He patted his knee and Mac sat down with Bella in her arms. "So what's the verdict on the book counselor," Mac asked? "I'll love you forever," Harm said staring back into her eyes not wanting to move an inch. Mac stared back surprised, but quickly decided they'd talk later.
Harm began reading the book, but everytime the song came, Mac would take it up, singing in the same voice she used that first night, while Harm rocked them back and forth just like in the story. Finally they got to the final verse as Mac began, "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always. As long as I'm living, my baby you'll be," she sang. She glanced down at Bella who was now asleep in her arms. Mac got up carefully and walked over to her crib. Mac bent down and kissed Bella's forehead, then Harm did the same. Mac placed her into the crib and started the mobile.
Together they walked back to their bedroom, in a peaceful silence. As they got into the room, they stared at each other almost as if unsure of the next step. Mac was the first to break the silence. "I guess we'd better get some sleep, since we'll probably have a big day tomorrow," Mac said her voice unsteady. "Yeah, I mean no, we have to talk Mac. About before," Harm started, but Mac cut him off, "Harm you don't have to explain, I understand, you just got caught up in the moment," Mac said babbling. "Mac, I'm not going to do this with you anymore. That song said everything I've always wanted to say to you, but I was always so afraid. And today Sturgis, the Admiral, Frank, and Bud they all helped me realize something today. The Admiral said there are ways to get around the rules of the navy and the marine core. Frank and Bud talked about how wonderful love can be. And let's just say Sturgis let us in on a little incident about something you said to him. Of course he didn't actually tell us what you said, but from the conversation I think I could guess," Harm said. Mac looked a little surprised and then almost angry. For a moment Harm wasn't sure he had said the right thing. "I am going to kick his six. You wait till I get a hold of him. When I put my hands around his neck, I'm going to..." Harm suddenly cut her off. "Mac, don't take this the wrong way, but shut up," Harm said. He walked over to her, taking her into his arms and kissing her with all the passion, love, and honesty that had been building up for seven years, but what seemed to be a life time. They separated for a moment, Harm staring back into Mac's eyes, seeing so much love and devotion than he had ever seen in his lifetime. He suddenly realized that this is what was mirrored in his own eyes and soul. He hugged her tightly to him as they walked together over to the bed, settled in, then Harm held her tightly as if in that moment he was afraid to lose her, the love of his life.
