"I've Got You Under My Skin" by Cole Porter
Sung by Virginia Bruce in "Born to Dance"
I've got you under my skin
I've got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart, that you're really a part of me
I've got you under my skin
I've tried so hard not to give in
I've said to myself this affair will never go so well
But why should I try to resist, when baby will I know so well
That I've got you under my skin
I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear
Don't you know little fool, you never can win
Use your mentality, wake up to reality
I've got you under my skin

Waiting Room
Bethesda Hospital

Bud Roberts looked at the man before him. He was sitting in one of those hard uncomfortable chairs, and his face was buried in his hands. The tension in the shoulders was obvious even from the doorway.
"Sir? Commander?" he called out.
Slowly, Harm brought up his head, hoping that the voice was a doctor bringing him news. Bud stood nervously before him waiting for his answer. "Bud, call me Harm. I'm betting the Admiral has or will be sending out the MPs any moment."
"I doubt it, sir. He sent me to keep you company while you waited for news on the Major. He's planning to come as soon as he's done with a meeting. Is there any news?"
"Not yet. The wound isn't life threatening, but she lost so much blood. I'm amazed she made it as far as she did before passing out. All I wanted to do was enjoy some time with her flying. Maybe she could have loved it as much as I do. I'll be lucky if she would ever get near another plane with me. First, we had to make an emergency landing, then ran into poachers who shot her, and if that wasn't enough one tried to attack her when I left her alone and she had to kill him. No, I'll be lucky if she wants to ever come near me." Harm was aware of his babbling, but he couldn't help it. He needed it off his chest to try to ease the pain there.
"I doubt the Major will blame you for anything. She's going to be fine, Sir," Bud wanted to say so much more, but though he considered Harm a friend there was still rank to consider. He didn't want to overstep his bounds.
"My brain is telling me she's fine, but my heart is disagreeing." Harm looked around, and stood up to start pacing. "Why won't the doctors tell me anything?"

Mac's Room
Same time

~~ After being in this dream state for one hour and 22 min., Mac decided she enjoyed this situation. There was no more pain, and the world around her forgotten as she allowed her mind to wonder.
She allowed her mind to wander into the past to the days where she had never been happier. The days where she knew that she was loved, and had dreams filled with a future of a house and kids. Those days had long since passed, but she could still picture the scenes her mind had dreamt up so long ago.
She could still walk up the path that led to her home, and there would be Peter Jr. and Nicole running to the door to greet her. Her children had the flyboy smile from their father.
It was amazing that love could make her a dreamer.
As she looked up the stairs, she saw his form looking down upon her with a full blown flyboy smile. The love in those eyes was unmistakable. Her heart still skipped a beat when she saw him. Life was perfect in this dream world. ~~

Waiting Room
~~~~~~~~~~~
Admiral Chegwidden walked into the waiting room to find Harm pacing the floor and Bud just seemed lost. From Harm's pacing, the Admiral knew that there still had not been any news. Clearing his throat loudly, he watched the men come to attention in front of him.
"Commander, any news on the Major?" Admiral asked.
"No, sir. I've tried to go to the nurse's desk, but they had nothing to give me. Sir?"
"Harm, your only concern right now should be about Mac. We'll deal with your skipping work when she is better."
"Thank you, sir. I'm sorry, we played hooky."
"Leave it alone, Commander. Now I'm going to do my best, and use Admiral privilege to hopefully find out something about the Major. Excuse me."

Mac's Room

~~ She watched happily as he came towards her. All she wanted was those surrounding her once more, but he stopped before he did.
"Sarah, come sit down with me on the couch. I have something very important to tell you."
"Peter, what is it?"
"You can't live in this dream world any longer. You have a place in the real world, and there are people waiting anxiously for you to come back."
"I rather stay here with you."
"You, my dear Sarah, don't belong here. No matter how much I would love you near me, you have a destiny to fulfill. Out there is a man who's going to love you as much as I do, and he's going to provide you will new set of dreams. Give him a chance, and never throw him out. He needs you as much as you need him."
"But..."
"No. He'll come running whenever you call his name." With a loving kiss, she moved back into the real world with one word on her lips. ~~
"HARM!"
Harm rushed into the room when he heard her voice call his name. The nurses had just given him permission to visit her. Sitting down, he took her hand and said, "I'm right here. You're going to be just fine."
At that Sarah Mackenzie smiled. In weeks ahead, he would protect a princess, and while they were dancing, he would tell her he didn't think of her as a sister. Then wound up working a case in Cuba. There she would almost kiss him, but as she left his room she came to a realization that Harm was engrained into her heart.
