"I'll See You in My Dreams" 1/?
By Rita Widmer
Rating: Mostly PG, but their might be parts that are PG-13.
Spoilers: If it's an episode, then I make no promises it won't be used.
Disclaimer: JAG doesn't belong to me! Also this story is based on the movie "A Guy Named Joe" which starred Spencer Tracy, Irene Dunne, and Van Johnson, and directed by Victor Fleming in 1943. The movie and its plotline don't belong to me either. All songs used in this story are also not mine but they will be disclaimed as I use them.
Pairing: Mac/Other, Harm/Mac are the main ones.
Summary: This is a story about destiny, and how the fates work to bring two people together that are soul mates. The series will run the full series of JAG with new additional scenes and same scenes with the thoughts of the characters. Nothing is altered, but hopefully give you a new insight into the episodes and the characters.
Author's Note: Thanks to Slick for letting me run off ideas on her for the last couple of months to get this story straightened out in my own mind. Thanks to Mac for betaing!
Feedback: Please! It helps me write faster.

I'll See You in My Dreams by Gus Kahn and Isham Jones
Sung by Doris Day in the movie "I'll See You in My Dreams."
I'll see you in my dreams, hold you in my dreams. Someone took you out of my arms, still I feel the thrill of your charms. Lips that once were mine, tender eyes that shine, they will light my way tonight, I'll see you in my dreams.

************************************
A lone woman lays on a white sheet while the bed cover tangles around her legs tying itself into knots. She moves side to side asleep as her dreams go to and fro from dreams to nightmares. All about one man, the man she has loved since the day she met him. The man she was going to marry as soon as he was sent home from war, and she was a free woman. The papers were laying next to her all ready to go to be sent.
~~ Sarah Mackenzie haphazardly wiped at her eyes. There was no use as the tears kept falling as she was held by the man she would always love. The man who was being deployed overseas to fight the war with Iraq.
His arms clung to her like he never wanted to let go, and she loved the feeling of comfort she received from it. To the other sailors and family surrounding them, they looked like a young couple completely in love with each other, and they would have been right.
"I love you, Sarah! Don't ever forget that." He moved away slightly to look at her face memorizing every detail in his mind. Getting his fill, he bent to kiss her passionately to savor it.
When the kiss broke apart, he bent down on one knee, and took something out of his pocket. "Sarah, I love you so much! I know you can't really promise me anything yet, but I want you to have this as a token of my love. Please promise me one day you'll become my wife?"
He pulled out the diamond engagement ring, and held it up to her. Her face was filled with tears, but he heard the quiet "yes" from her mouth. Sliding the ring onto her ring finger, he kissed her once more before running to the ship and the journey ahead of him.~~
The woman's body seemed to relax after that dream, but as another nightmare hit her the restless movements came back full force. The tears started to fall on her face as it distorted in pain, and her body curled up in a fetal position.
It was then she woke up with one word on her lips, "No!" Only taking a moment to check her night wear, she ran out of her quarters and ran down the stairs to the only other man she trusted.
Her knock surprised the man on the other side of the door. He had not expected anyone to come this late at night. Checking the peephole, he realized it was Mac standing out there.
"What's wrong, Mac?" Lt. Connelly asked.
"He's dying! In so much pain!" she answered.
"Who is?"
"I love him, and they're taking him away from me."
He opened his mouth to ask more, but she had collapsed unconscious in his arms. He spent moments trying to get her to wake up, but she was out cold. Getting dressed, then he rushed her to the hospital afraid something was seriously wrong.

Over the Persian Gulf
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harmon Rabb, Jr. sat in the cockpit of his tomcat. His mind wandering as the voice of the man who died earlier that night repeated in his head. The scream of pain had been overheard by all on the same frequency as him, but only a moment later a calm four words were said, "I love you, Sarah," and there had been nothing else transmitted. The man's last breath had been dedicated to the woman he loved.
When a search team had gone looking for his down airplane there had been practically nothing left resembling an airplane. The two men inside had no chance of living. Those thoughts made him shiver.
The rain hitting the airplane came to his ears sounding like weapon fire like that man would have taken. The water below was reaching high into the skies at the force of the storm.
The ship was looming ahead of him as it pitched into the water. The view was blurry as he tried to get lined up for landing, but his own eyesight being off plus the rolling made it hard for him to do so.
His RIO was yelling at him trying to tell him what was wrong, but it was not reaching him as got closer to that edge of the ship. He wondered if he would have the same fate as the man before him.
These thoughts brought him back to his job, and he tried to straighten up and even go around once more if needed. When he realized there was no hope he pulled at the ejection seat trying to get free before he would be smashed in between the ship and his airplane.
It was too late! All he could feel at that moment was the pain before as his world went from a bright orange of fire to blackness.
