Sorry about the spelling and there is no word freind in the English lan.

Mac's apartment         

"What else did you tell my dad?" Harm asked with a fear in his voice.

"I told him that…." She need to take a breath and breathe for what she was about to say took more courage than she could sum up for at the time.

"Ok make this easy for me and just listen. Please?" Harm looked into her eyes and just nodded.

"I told him how I wanted to tell you how I felt about you, but I didn't think you would listen." Harm wanted to say something but then remembered what he agreed to.

She sighed and continued, "I also told him that I wouldn't blame you for not listening to me, because I haven't really been to open on my part either." Mac finished hoping Harm wouldn't push any farther, but if he did she wasn't going to back away and deny her feelings for him. `You've done that for far tooooo long already marine.'

"What if I told you that I would listen to what you said to me? Would you tell me then?" Harm asked hoping that he didn't push it to far.

`This is your last chance marine to make things right.' "Yes I would, but you would have to do something in return." She didn't want to be the only fool, plus she wanted to make sure that he really loved her. "You have to answer the same question, just to make sure we are on the same page." She grew scared for he did not seem to like this idea too much.

Harm sighed and thought loudly to himself `Like you already don't know!!! Do you just like to see me being tortured or did Webb put you to it' "Ok, but you go first"

"Alright," she didn't really didn't want to go first but she knew she had to do it anyway. "Harm the first time we met I thought you were this jerk of a lawyer who just like to pick up women.  Then after I got to know you I realized why you acted that way you did around me.  It was because you saw Diane in me. Then I began to soften up a little and then you sand bagged me in court.  When I saw the effort you made to try to get our friendship back to normal I was honestly touched, because you were the first person who actually acted like they cared about me. Apart form Uncle Matt." She sighed `you can do it just tell him, this isn't going to work try a different angle.' "I could go on and on about our life and friendship together, but to be honest I'm not sure when the truth finally hit me." `Hear goes nothing' "Harmon Rabb Jr. I....I love you." Those three words were the hardest three words she had ever said in her life.

The globes in Harm's eyes jumped for joy. He knew right away what he was going to say, but he had to calm down a little and breathe. "Can you listen to me without interrupting?" Harm hoped this didn't scare her but he wasn't let go of her just yet. Mac got scared but she just simply nodded expecting the worst. "When I first saw you in the rose garden I saw Diane right away, and it scared me.  But as the case continued, I noticed some extreme differences too.  Mac the night you walked on the doc in Harriet's uniform, I didn't know who I was seeing. Part of me saw the ghost of Diane walking towards me, the other part of me saw you in the wrong uniform.  And when we kissed something magical happened.  I finally got to kiss Diane good bye…but I also kissed someone a hello."  With that Mac almost busted into tears she couldn't take anymore of this. All she wanted to do was run.  But his eyes kept her prisoner to where she stood.  

"What are you saying Harm?" She asked very shakily.

"That I love you, and I always have it just took me awhile to figure out how to tell you.  I'm sorry it got this far."

Mac was crying profusely when she heard this statement, but what he said didn't register until after he said sorry. "What did you just say?" She asked cautiously.

Harm cupped her face with his hand, whipped away the tears and said, "I love you Sarah"

Her name coming from his mouth made the statement seem even more meaningful.

"Oh Harm you have no clue I have been waiting to hear you say those words." Mac said as she started to cry uncontrollable.

Harm took her into his embrace and let her cry. "I'm sorry Mac I never wanted to cause you this much pain." He almost started to cry to but he knew he had to be strong for her. 

"Harm I'm scared."

"I am to marine, but we can do this together. Me and you the way it should be." He said trying to give her words of support.

"Harm," Mac looked up and said as her last tears began to dry. Harm looked at her and their eyes met. They were looking at each other now wondering if this was real. Harm bent down a little closer and his lips finally met hers. This kiss was filled with eight years of love and passion in it.  Neither one wanted it to end but the need for air became too much. 

"I love you Sarah Mackenzie." "I love you too Harmon Rabb jr."

When harm realized how late it was he figured he should get home because Mac had to work tomorrow. "I should get going.  You have to work tomorrow."

"Wow it's late. You can stay here for tonight." Mac said hoping he would accept.

"I would love to but I have a meeting with the CIA at four, and I still haven't done all my homework" Harm stated with one of those flyboy smiles.

"Ok flyboy, you go do your homework, but call me tomorrow when you have time. I want to know where my little spook is going."

"I don't like that title can't you call me something else?" Harm asked

"I think of one tonight and tell you the new tomorrow when you call"

"Alright. I'll talk to you tomorrow then." He asks just to make sure this wasn't a dream.

"Yes you will." She said with a smile.  With that they had one last kiss.

"Bye"

"Bye."
