Harm and Mac had been in the hospital for a couple hours and Mac was in labor. Harm was being the best and Mac knew it. She smiled, as he held her hand, even through the contractions when she was squeezing the life out of his hand.
"Ok, Sarah. It's time. Are you ready?" Dr. Mulder asked. Mac nodded and looked at Harm.
"I love you," he whispered. Before she answered, she was told to push and she did.
"HARM! This is all your fault! We're never having kids again!" Mac shouted. Little did she know how true that statement would be. During delivery, Mac was having problems and they found out that she couldn't have children again. Mac began to cry when Harm was holding their little girl.
"Oh, baby, what's wrong?" he murmured, sitting down next to Mac and giving her their baby.
"I wanted to give you more children, Harm," she said, crying again. He calmed Mac down before she woke the sleeping baby in her arms.
"It's all right, Sarah. You know that. I'm perfectly happy that I married you. With or without kids, I would've done it," he said, kissing her forehead. "We need to name her, you know?" She smiled.
"Let's name her MacKenzie Ann Rabb," Mac told him. He smiled.
"You want to name our daughter after your maiden name?" he said. She nodded, straight faced. "Then we'll do it, but I have a question." She raised her eyebrow. "Why?" She smiled.
"I've always liked being called Mac and I've wanted to name my daughter that for a long time," she said, then smiled. "Are you arguing, Rabb?" He stood up straight and saluted her.
"Ma'am no Ma'am. I learned a long time ago never to argue with a Marine, Ma'am," he said. Mac smiled. "So, MacKenzie, what do you think of your name?" The sleeping baby in Mac's arms made a noise that Harm took as a yes. He smiled and kissed his wife.

"Mac, we can't pressure her into joining the military," Harm told his wife later that day. Mac smiled. "If she happens to, it's her choice." Mac laughed and pulled out an outfit.
"How do you explain this, sailor?" she asked, holding up the Navy dress whites for a little girl. Harm bit his bottom lip and grinned.
"Would you believe me if I said it was a future gift for Bud and Harriet?" he asked. She shook her head and moved over to him.
"You know, you're very sexy when you blush," she murmured, before kissing his lips. "I love you, Rabb. You know that?" He nodded and kissed his wife again, thankful for everything he had in his life at the moment.
Yea, I know this chapter wasn't very long, but I'm more creative when it comes to older kids. I haven't been a baby in a LONG time. More to come. ;-)
