Title: My Other Half
Author: Kirsten, My version of what happened after the finale.
Rating: Teen or PG-13
Disclaimers: I don't own JAG, otherwise we would be seeing Harm and Mac getting old and having babies and celebrating anniversaries and all the jazz. I also don't own Keith Urban or anything related to him, although I wish that I did.
Author's Notes: I know, I know. There are going to be a million of these. But I wanted to do my own. I hope that mine will be different from everyone's and I hope that JAG fanfiction will continue for a long, long time.
And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us
I wanna honor your mother
I wanna learn from your pa
I wanna steal your attention like a bad outlaw
I wanna stand out in a crowd for you
A man among men
I wanna make your world better than it's ever been
Keith Urban, Making Memories of Us
Chapter One: Memories
"Then what happened, Aunt Harriet?" Mattie Grace Johnson Rabb asked.
Harriet looked around at the faces in the living room. "You know what happened, Mattie, but I'll tell it anyway. It landed in General Cresswell's martini!" she said, laughing. Harriet Sims-Roberts could remember that night in perfect detail. Captain Rabb in his dress whites, Colonel Mackenzie in that beautiful red dress, love sparkling in both of their eyes
Mac laughed as she looked at her best friend, "Thanks Harriet."
"You're welcome, ma'am." Even though it had been twenty-five years since Harriet had left the Navy, she still couldn't call Mac by her name.
Mac thought back to that night with a smile on her face. Here she was, sitting around her living room with some of the most important people in her life.
There was Mattie Rabb, her oldest daughter, who was engaged to a teacher at the Naval Academy. Then there was Bekah, her third child, and then the baby, Mia. Trey, Matt, Jeff, Harm, and some of the boys are off flying in Harm's Stearman.
Jennifer Coates was sitting next to Mattie, finally an officer, and Julia Reyes was next to her. Verese, Sturgis's wife was there, along with their daughter, Penny. Cammie Cresswell-Roberts was also there and their daughters, Anna and Lucy.
But then there would be Admiral Chegwidden, out flying with the boys if he was still on this earth. And Gunnery Sergeant Victor Galindez. And Clayton Webb. All gone. All that remained were memories.
"Mom, will you tell us the story again?" Bekah asked her mother.
"Bekah, you know the story."
"But Julia doesn't."
Mac looks over at Julia, "I don't think Julia has heard the whole story. I know that most of you have. But I'll tell it again."
"Thanks, Mom!" Mia said, "This is one of my favorite stories."
"Once upon a time…." Mac began to tellher story, the most important one of her life.
End Chapter One.
