In the main lobby at the hospital everyone gathered to talk about Harm's
memory loss and what they could do to help.
"Well the doctors are optimistic that given a few days his memory will improve." The admiral said. "We just need to be supportive of the Commander and Renee and let the doctors do their work."
"Renee you know if there is anything we can do call anytime." Harriet said giving her a hug.
"Thank you. I will. I must admit I was feeling a little bit on the outside when all of this started. Now knowing that I have your support also helps a lot." Renee told everyone.
At that moment Mic and Mac walked up to join the group. They were both smiling.
"Well it is good to see smiles about now." The admiral said commenting on their demeanor.
"Yes sir. Mic and I have rescheduled our wedding. It will be this weekend."
"That's great!" Chloe squealed giving Mac a hug.
"Well now that you mention it ma'am, I did take a message from the Chaplin some time ago. In the midst of the entire goings on I forgot about it. He said the chapel is available next weekend so I guess you're in luck." Bud said.
"Well then that makes if official." Said Mic with his bright aussie grin.
He looked over at Renee and could tell that she was relieved by the news. He smiled at her and nodded his head in understood agreement.
"Is there anything that we can do to help ma'am?" Harriet asked.
"Just spread the word." Mac said. "It may not be possible for some, but I know those who are most important will be there."
"That means me doesn't it Mac?" Chloe asked.
"Of course it does. We'll make the call and get it arranged."
"I know we only have 6 days, but maybe by then Harm will be well enough to be there too."
"That would be nice. But I think the most important thing for Harm is to focus on getting well." Mac replied. There was a small tension in the air
and the admiral made a mental note of it.
"Well I am going back to Harm's room now." Renee said as she pushed the elevator button.
"Harriet and I need to get little AJ and head home."
"I will stay in touch with the doctors and Renee if you have any questions just give me a call and I will keep you informed."
"Thank you, admiral. That will be a big help for me." Renee said as the elevator doors closed.
On the way up she couldn't help but hope that Harm didn't recover his memory until after the wedding. "If they just finally get married, I know everything will be alright." She thought.
Harm had been sleeping for some time. Renee walked in his room and saw him lying there peacefully. She had been so worried about him when they didn't know whether he was dead or alive. But it wasn't just the fact that he was missing that worried her. She saw how upset Mac was, acting like she was the woman in his life.
Renee and Mic both knew there was something more than friendship between them. Mic had tried to act confident at their engagement party when the two them spent all that time alone together on the admiral's porch. "Let them say their goodbyes." He said. But if they were only friends, then what kind of goodbyes did they have to say? Deep down she and Mic knew that they had feelings for each other.
'Is he blind to how Mac was behaving these past days?' She wondered. 'His fiancée all torn up over another man. Yeah, they are "best friends".'
But anyone with half a brain can tell it goes beyond being best friends." She didn't know what Mac had said to put Mic at ease about their relationship, but whatever it was it worked. When Mic gave her that smile and nod of understanding she knew what it meant. He was trying to tell her not to be worried anymore, that everything was alright for her and Harm and him and Mac.
She was praying that he was right. But if he was right, why was there that hint of tension in the air when Chloe mentioned Harm being well enough to attend the wedding? 'Maybe I am just so used to feeling guarded about this whole Harm and Mac thing I imagined it. Maybe I am finally getting a break.' She thought.
I hope this doesn't make me evil, but this memory loss it the best thing that could have happened.
