Miracles Do Happen

A/N: Almost done.....hehe! Sorry for the wait.
The next 4 and a half months went by as smoothly as could be expected. There were 2 am cravings, mood swings and hormones...LOTS of hormones. It didn't really seem like anything was wrong. Mac felt really sore and achy a lot, but that was basically it. Harm was just savoring every moment he had with his wife. He didn't want this to ever end. At the doctors appointment two weeks before her due date, Harm and Mac were explained the procedure to prevent any serious situations.
"You will deliver like a normal birth, but we will be extra careful with the way we work. If one wrong move by any medical professional happens, you could bleed out. You can't really do anything to jepordize your health, but I'm sure everything will go fine. After the birth, we will take you in for an x-ray and an ultrasound, to see where the growth is and how to remove it. Within the next couple of days, we will take you in and remove the growth."
"Growth? You never said it was a growth. Is it..cancer?" Mac asked.
"No, the growth isn't cancer, it's just a build up of uterus lining that was not shed during your cycle. This is dangerous to you because if it tears off during delivery, you could hemorrhage." Mac looked at Harm who just squeezed her hand and smiled softly at her. "When you go into labor and arrive at the hospital, we will have an ultrasound to check everything out first, to create a 'road map' of sorts to prevent any wrong moves. Everything will be fine." Dr. Gordon looked encouragingly at the couple with a smile. "Don't worry. We'll take good care of you." Harm thanked the doctor and he and Mac got up to leave.
Another week or so passed, and at about 2:13 in the morning, Mac woke her husband up. He looked at the clock and waited for her to say 'Go to 7/11 and get me peanut butter and spinach, with mozzarella cheese and croutons.' but that statement never came. Instead was, "Harm, I've been having contractions since about 10:00 last night, and they are getting closer together." Harm helped her out of bed, and grabbed her bag from the kitchen table. They got in the car, and Harm, calmly hyperventilating, drove to the hospital. A/N: What an oxymoron! :) Mac got set up in a delivery room, and Dr. Gordon came in with the ultrasound machine. Meanwhile Harm was in the hallway, calling friends and relatives. When the last call to his grandma was made, he dropped to the floor on his knees, and prayed.
"Dear God, it's me again. I just need you to keep her safe, keep both my girls safe. I couldn't survive if I lost either one. Please God it's all I ask. Just one small miracle. Amen." Satisfyed with his prayer, he entered the room just as Dr. Gordon was putting the jelly on Mac's stomach. She looked around and looked puzzled for a moment.
"Hmmmm....." she trailed off.
"What? What? What's wrong?" Harm began to panic.
"Nothing's wrong Mr. Rabb. I just can't seem to find the growth. I can't see it, maybe the baby is hiding it." She smiled reassuringly, and spoke. "Not to worry, we will deliver normally, and take care of it with minor surgery." She looked and said, "Well Mr. Rabb, you should be getting your scrubs on, this baby is coming fast! Within the next 15 minutes." Dr. Gordon handed him his scrubs and pointed him in the direction of the wash-up sink. They both left the room to get ready for the delivery.
