I know I kinda messed up in the last one with them telling the admiral on the next day when that would've been a Saturday. Forgive me. It should've been a Thursday for the next day to be Friday. I was under a ton of stress last night, but that's no excuse. It will be better this time...remember, it's Friday now.

"Hey Sarah," Harm whispered, sticking his head into Mac's office. She smiled and stood up. "Have a seat, hun." She smiled and sat back down. He closed the door and sat down in front of her. "Prepared with a meeting with the Admiral?" She nodded.
"Yes. I think I'm ready. I've managed to hide the ring from Harriet and everyone else this morning and I haven't even taken it off," she said, smiling proudly, and showing Harm the ring. Suddenly there was a knock at the door. "Enter!"

"The Admiral is ready to speak with you two," Tiner said. Harm and Mac nodded and Tiner left. "You ready for this, Sailor?" Mac asked, standing up and looking at Harm. He stood up, smiled and kissed her hand.
"I've been ready to have this conversation with him for years, Sarah." Mac smiled and they walked over to the Admirals office.

"You wanted to speak with me?" A.J. asked when they entered.

"Yes, sir," Harm replied. He nodded.
"Have a seat." Harm closed the door and sat down next to Mac.

"Remember me telling you this morning that I wanted to transfer..." Mac said. Harm heard the word transfer and didn't hear anything else. He made Mac look at him.
"You can't leave Sarah. Not now, not ever," he whispered, looking hurt. Mac smiled and shook her head.
"I'm not leaving Harm. You stopped listening mid-sentence. I asked the Admiral if I could transfer to Judge and he said he already had the paper work sent in. I was going to tell him why I asked him to do that," she whispered, looking into his eyes and moving her hand off of his face.

"Sorry," he whispered, then looked at the Admiral. "Sir, we have news." He smiled.
"It better involve that ring on the Colonel's finger, otherwise you need to get your six out of my office," he said, never letting the grin escape his face. Mac covered her hand with her mouth.
"Yes, sir, it does. Sarah...Mac and myself are engaged," Harm said, taking Mac's hand from her mouth. He nodded.
"Good. I expect a wedding within six months or less. I prefer less and I will assume that when Harriet finds out, you'll be married in two weeks," he said, smiling. Mac and Harm laughed along with him.

"Are we telling everyone today?" Harm asked, looking deep into Mac's eyes. She smiled.
"I'd love to," she responded, then looked at AJ. "And I'd love for you to do the honors, sir." He nodded, stood up and followed them out to the bullpen. He got everyone's attention and smiled.
"We have news," he said. Harriet looked over and saw how close Mac and Harm were standing. She immediately whispered to Bud, but he just shook his head. "Our two finest lawyers, one who's soon to be our finest judge, have finally gotten their head's out of their sixes and are engaged." A hush came around the office and everyone started clapping and congratulating them. After it was over, AJ spoke again. "Alright, back to work everyone." He turned to Mac and Harm. "Except for you two. I want you to go home and get this thing planned."

"Yes, sir. Could you make a call for us?" Harm asked, looking at Mac. "If Sarah will agree, I'd love to marry her in the garden where we first met?" Harm prayed Mac would agree and AJ could make it happen.
"Sure, I'll make the call." He nodded and turn around, leaving Mac and Harm.
"I love you," Harm whispered. Mac smiled.
"I love you, too, Harm. Let's get out of here so I can kiss you," she whispered, smiling. He nodded and they went into the elevator, immediately finding themselves in each others arms. "I'm so glad we're together." Harm smiled in agreement as they pulled apart when the elevator landed on the bottom floor. They separated and agree to meet back at Mac's place so they could talk about the wedding more.
