Part 30: Going To Iceland
March 31st 2004
"Hey Mac," Harm came to greet her at the door when she got home from work. He had left early from the office first for an interview and then he had visited Chief Defina who he had previously represented. Since Elena was at Sturgis, Mac had decided to stay late at work and try to catch up on some things. Harm came over and tried to kiss her, but she avoided his lips and just held on and hugged him close to her. "Did something happen at work today?"
"Sturgis might be getting a transfer," Mac whispered because she didn't want Mattie to hear about it yet. Harm could hear how upset she was by those news.
"Where?" he asked.
"Iceland."
"Oh," Harm said. "Come on let's go and sit down and talk about this."
They went into their bedroom and Mac sat down on the bed with Harm close to her.
"I know this is part of military life. It just hit me how unsure we can be that Elena really gets all those things that we want to give her. I want to give her all of those things that I never got. Even if we aren't together, she was going to have both of her parents loving her and taking care of her. I'm just so sad that I might not be able to give her those things."
"But you can't help this," Harm tried to comfort her. He had put his arm around her and pulled her close to him. "It isn't even sure that he gets the transfer yet, is it?"
"No, but he might still at a later point or I'll get a transfer... I just don't think I can think logically about this right now. Is it OK if I just indulge myself a little in self-pity?" Mac asked trying to make a joke, but being betrayed by her own voice.
"Yeah, it's perfectly OK," Harm assured her. "You'll just have to eat something first," He said and lifted her up, swung her around in the room and then carried her to the kitchen and to help warm up the dinner for her.
'At least I'll still have him here,' Mac thought.
Even though there might not be anything that Mac could do about it, maybe there was something Harm could do. The next day he was going to see Admiral Chegwidden and see what he thought about his idea. If he agreed Sturgis wouldn't have to leave at all.

AN: You know, Iceland is a really nice country. Do you think Harm would like it there?
