AN: Here's the last part, and I hope people enjoy it. I have enjoyed this trip into fluff fanfiction. As an author I wanted to expand my horizons, and try to write a realistic fluff story.
Simply say that I'm yours and you make it Christmas Each day of love that we make

Mac cooed at her son as she had her hair done by Harriet. Her son was going to walk with her down the aisle. She was going to carry him down so he could be part of the wedding ceremony.
Harriet smiled down at the site of Mac playing with her son, but she couldn't help but to tease a little. "Ma'am, you know you've got to sit still, or your hair will be ruined."
"I can't help it if my son has that flyboy smile, and has me already entranced. At least with Harm it took me a couple of weeks to get entranced."
"It took you that long?" Harriet was stunned by the thought.
"Well trying to protect my uncle, and then the trail and stuff kept me from falling for it. My mind was on other things that were much more important."
"I can understand that. So tell me when did you first realize you were in love with him?"
"Would you believe not until after he went down in the ocean the night before my wedding?"
"I have a hard time believing it. Why did it take that long?"
"When I first thought we could be more than friends was just before he left to go flying. I had pushed my feelings and thoughts away thinking I wasn't that important to him if he wanted to leave me behind."
"He didn't want to leave anyone behind. He wanted to fulfill his dream."
"I know that now, but back then he didn't try to make me feel that he wasn't wanting to leave me behind. When he came back before the cruise had ended, I thought maybe he could be coming back for me. I couldn't get past the hurt of his leaving, and when I had gotten past it I tried to talk to him about it."
"And you came back with Mic's ring?"
"I did. I thought after he turned me down that I was completely wrong about his sharing any feelings beyond friendship. It's not like I had been asking for the words, but just any sign that their would be a future for us. Mic came along when I was down, and picked me up with his words of love. Something I had been starving for all my life."
"Would you have married him if he had not left?"
"I really don't know. He gave me an out before I had a chance to make that decision. Now I thank him every day for walking out. I hope he's found that same happiness."
"You are very lucky, and so is Harm."
"Thanks, now lets get finished dressed."
Harm's Room at the Chapel
Harm paced the small room as he waited for his time to enter the chapel to wait for Mac. It was the happiest and scariest moment of his life. He wanted to capture this moment forever, because after today they would never be separate entities, but one together.
Their son had made them a family, but today they became a traditional family. He loved their son so much that it made him ache. If he had made so many different decisions that child would not be in his life. It was meant to be this way. Perfect in every way.
He felt a hand on his shoulder, and he turned around to find Sturgis smiling at him.
"You aren't nervous, are you, buddy?" Sturgis teased him.
"Of course not. Why should I be scared to marry the woman I love with all my heart? Now nervous that she will decide that she made a mistake? Yes, I'm very nervous."
"I doubt that, Harm. She's known that she was in love with you for years. I still remember when she spit it out in her office to me."
"She told you that she was in love with me years ago?"
"Yes, she did. Why it took you so long to get here I will never understand."
"Maybe if you had told me what she had said, I would have told her my feelings sooner."
"And risk the wrath of a marine? You must be nuts."
"I would have stopped her with a kiss. She would have forgotten that you had told her secret. She probably end up thanking you."
"You do have a huge ego, Harm."
"Hey, I have been able to set her internal clock haywire."
"Well my wristwatch says its time to go out. Come on lets grab Bud."
It didn't take long after they had gotten to the front before Mac appeared before him, smiling. In her arms, she held their son who was awfully quiet. She handed her son to Harriet so she could take Harm's hand.
I dos were spoken that day, and they told each other how much they meant to the other. Their love was sealed with each vow they spoke together. Life was changing for them that day. They now had an eternal Christmas present for each other, and neither would ever break it.
The Hotel
3 a.m. the next morning
They had just made love for the first time since Mac had gotten to large to do it anymore. They had vowed to wait until their wedding night after he proposed. The wait was worth it.
Harm got out of bed, and grabbed his boxers from the floor. Mac looked at him oddly, but just waited. He grabbed his guitar from the corner, and started to tune it softly.
"I heard this song last Christmas, and it made me think about memories of holidays past that we spent together. I want to sing it to you."
You make it Christmas each morning And you make every night like New Year's Eve, Then you light up my sky like the fourth of July, Such an April fool I to believe,
And so on some warm summer evening Should the heat get too much for us to take, Simply say that I'm yours and you make it Christmas Each day of love that we make
The End
