Forever Love

By: Panda

Summary: Harm and Mac both know in their hearts that they love each other. Can a simple letter to each other make something happen?

A/N: Here we are, chapter Three. Enjoy!

Harm walked into the bullpen on Monday morning, and saw that Mac's office door was open. He walked over, and saw that she wasn't at her desk, so he pulled out the envelope, and layed it on her computer keyboard. He then went to his own office and put his things inside, before heading to the break room for coffee. He ran into Mac as she was leaving, coffee in hand.

"Good Morning Mac." he said.

"Morning Harm." she smiled as she walked away.

Mac walked into her office, and grabbed the letter out of her briefcase, before heading to Harm's office. She slipped in, and layed the envelope on his chair. She turned and returned to her office, and sat down at her computer. She then noticed the envelope sitting on her keyboard. She saw Harm's messy yet readable handwriting on the envelope. She opened the envelope and began to read.

Harm returned from the breakroom with his coffee. As he approached his chair, he noticed the envelope, his name written in Mac's curvy, sexy handwriting on the front. He sank into his chair, and opened the envelope. He began to read what was inside.

As Mac read the last line of his letter, the tears that were pooling in her eyes began to run over. She sat there for a moment, letting his words really sink in. "He loves me." she said out loud, more to hear it outloud then anything. "He loves me." she said again. She stood up and began to walk toward his office.

Harm read the words twice over to make sure, before jumping out of his chair. "She loves me!" he declaired to the white walls of his office. "She loves me." he stated plainly, before opening his office door, and walking toward her office. In the middle of the bullpen, surrounded by co workers, and their new CO, Admiral Burke, Harm met Mac's eyes. They walked toward each other and met in the middle.

"You really love me?" Mac asked him.

"With all of my heart Sarah. And you...really love me?" he asked her.

"Yes Harm, I do. I do love you."

"Oh God! Sarah I love you so much!"

"I love you so much Harm. I love you too!" Their lips met in a sweet, passionate kiss.

"Sarah, stay right there, I will be right back." He ran to his office and reached into his coat pocket. He pulled out the ring. It was teh ring that his grandfather gave to his grandmother, his father gave to his mother. His mom had sent it 2 months ago, and told him that he should give it to the one he loved. He had been carrying it around in his pocket since then, knowing that it was intended for Sarah. He had it polished, so it looked new, but it was still such an antique design. It was just right for her. He looked at for a moment, before running back out to the bullpen, back to his Sarah. He dropped down to one knee, and began to speak.

"Sarah, I've loved you for so long, and won't wait another moment. I love you more than life itself, and I want to spend the rest of my life making you happy. I want your face to be the first I see in the morning, and the last I see at night. I want to hold you under the stars, and know that you are mine. I love you Sarah. Will you make me the happiest man alive, and marry me?"

"But Harm, what about regs?" She said.

"I don't give a damn about regs Sarah. I just want to be with you."

"Oh Harm! Yes, I will marry you. I love you so much." He slipped the ring onto her finger, and it fit perfectly. He stood up, and careful not to hurt her, wrapped his arms around her, and kissed her. Everyone applauded, and Harriet and Jen cried a bit. Life was perfect.

Write me a chapter to continue the story. The chapter that I like the most will be the next chapter, and the author will be the story's co-author. E-mail all entries to iluv2sing13yahoo.com. Thanks!
