A Gift of Song

Summary: From beginning to end in song. Mac and Harm's past, present and future accompanied by various artists.

Pairing: Um… duh! Mac/Harm

Distribution: If you want it, take it but please warn me and tell me where its going.

Rating: G with a side order of slight fluff

Disclaimer: I swear I don't own the people you recognize. I only like to play around with them and make things go my way. DPB owns them along with Paramount and CBS.

Spoilers: Just about everything basically. Some of the cases won't be covered, of course but a lot of major moments in the lives of Mac and Harm will be.

Author's Notes: I'm doing my research for this one but there's no guarantee that I'll get everything right. Please correct me if I make a mistake. Thanks! Also, I'm about to get into the AU stuff. I originally was only going to follow but I changed my mind because I'm highly against the Brumby/Mac thing. Therefore, I'm skipping over that whole thing eventually.

Question: tell me what you think about me?

I buy my own diamonds and I buy my own rings

Only ring your cell-y when I'm feeling lonely

When its all over please get up and leave

Question: tell me what you think about this?

Try to control me boy you get dismissed

Pay my own fun and I pay my own bills

Always 50/50 in relationships

Mac walked into a new day at JAG exhausted and worn. She couldn't blame the admiral for her overwhelming caseload… no, that was purely her fault. She'd taken on so much to keep her mind off of Harm's departure to active flight status.

"Colonel, I wanted to go over the plea bargain for the Hannover case." Mac looked up glimpsing the Navy uniform and commander's insignia and flashed to gold wings and flyboy smiles. Then she met Mic Brumby's eyes. She sighed.

"Yeah, Mic, just give me a chance to settle in," she answered, moving behind her desk.

All the women who are independent

Throw your hands up at me

All the honeys making money

Throw your hands up at me

All the momma's who profit dollas

Throw your hands up at me

All the ladies who truly feel me

Throw your hands up at me

She missed him terribly. Just the other day she'd gotten up to ask him a question and days before to ask him to dinner only to realize and remember that he wasn't there. It had thrown her for a loop and she'd returned to her office and taken half an hour to get her bearings and settle her emotions. The admiral watched her and he worried.

Mac was falling apart without Harm and everyone saw it but her. She vowed to herself to work through everything without her partner, her best friend. She was an independent woman.

Tell me how you feel about this

Who would I want if I would wanna live

I worked hard and sacrificed to get what I get

Ladies it ain't easy being independent

Question: how'd you like this knowledge that I brought?

Braggin' on that cash that he gave you was to front

If you're gonna brag make sure it's your money you flaunt

Depend on no one else to give you what you want

I know this is kinda weird especially since what I understood Mac and Harm don't keep very close touch in the show… this is where everything goes AU people!!! THIS IS YOUR WARNING!! AU ALERT IN THE NEXT CHAPTER AND TO THE END OF THE STORY.

Also please remember to go back and check the new Chapter 8:Tomorrow: Part 1
