Hey guys! I'm sooooo sorry that it took me a week to post chapter 5. I started school last Monday. Being a junior is hectic! I had to adjust to the time schedule and doing homework again! I know chapter 4 was rather short. I have been working on making this one longer. I'll try to put out a chapter every week or maybe two a week. I want to say thank you to my beta-readers, Jen and Lyndsey. You guys are great! Thank you for being a part of this and encouraging me!
Disclaimer: I don't own the Jag Crew, but if I did, Harm and Mac would be together!
And now ladies and gentlemen, Chapter 5!

Mac smiled. She was just so happy now that she knew she was definitely pregnant.

Mac's office
JAG HQ
Mac and Harriet had stopped at a bookstore on the way back to JAG Headquarters and go the book 'What to expect when you're expecting.' She was now sitting down in her chair comfortably at her office with the blinds closed and the door closed so no one could see what she was reading. A knock came at her door and Mac quickly hid the book in a drawer.
"Enter!" Mac commanded.
Harm came in and closed the door.
"Hey beautiful." Harm said
"Hey yourself Sailor." Mac said
They got caught up in a passionate kiss.
"How would you like to go out with a Squid tonight?"
"Hmm, sounds good. Anyone I know?"
"You're to much Mac!"
"Yeah, but that's why you love me!"
"So will you?
"Of course. I would love to! Where are we going?"
"Well that's for me to know and you to NOT find out! It's a surprise. Just be ready at 1830. I'll come and pick you up." With that he left her office.
He was walking back to his office and noticed Harriet beaming at him.
"Is there something I can help you with Lieutenant?"
"Oh, umm no sir!"
"Well you should get back to work."
"Yes sir!"

Mac's apartment
Mac had gone home at 1700 and got ready for her night out with Harm. After a half an hour she sat down and started to read the pregnancy book. About twenty minutes later, Harm knocked on her apartment door.
"Hey Sailor! You're early!" She kissed him.
"Hey! I should be late more often! I got you these." He pulled two dozen roses from behind his back.
"Oh my gosh! Harm, they're so beautiful! Come in and sit down. I'll go put these in a vase."
Harm walked in to her apartment and headed to the living room to sit on the couch. He looked around her living room. I was so beautiful. He looked at the things on her coffee table. His eyes came to rest on one book in particular. He read the title. His eyes widened in surprise. ' She's having a baby? Why hasn't she told me?' Harm thought.
"Harm, you ready to go?" Mac asked.
"Uh… yeah. Let's go."
They walked down to Harm's SUV. He opened the door or Mac to get in then he made his way to the driver's side. He got in and handed Mac a blindfold.
"What's that for?"
" Put it on. I don't want you to see where we I am taking you."
"Okay Sailor! I'll play your little game for no!"
"Good!"
Harm started to drive and after about fifteen minutes later, he parked his SUV and got out He walked over to the passenger door and opened it for Mac.
"Are you going to tell me where we are?" Mac asked.
"No way! You'll just have to wait until we get there!"
"So why aren't you gong to tell me where you're taking me?"
Maaaaaac! I told you it was a secret! Stop asking questions! You'll like the surprise! Just trust me!"
He led her to the spot where he was going to give her the surprise and stopped.
"Okay. Can I take the blindfold off no?" Mac asked.
"Yeah you can take it off now."
Mac slowly took the blindfold. She looked down and there was Harm, on one knee in the Rose Garden.
" Sarah Mackenzie, I love you and I will continue to love you forever if you will let me. You are the reason I wake up each morning. You are the first thing I think about when I wake up and the last thing I think about before I go to sleep. Will you make me the happiest man alive and do me the honor of becoming my wife?"
"Yes Harmon Rabb Jr. I will marry you!"
Harm placed the ring on her left ring finger and stood up. He lifted her up and spun her around and kissed her.
"By the way, I thought I already made you happy" Mac winked and laughed.
Mac looked at the ring. It was so beautiful! The diamonds were in the shape of a rose with a ruby in the middle.
"Tell me something. Where on earth did you get this ring? It's so beautiful!" Mac asked
"I had seen it a while back in a jewelry store and bought it then."
"I love it! Did you say you bought it a while back?"
"Well yes. I figured if I ever got my head out of my six, I would propose to you. It looks like I finally have!"
"Well as the Admiral would say, 'It's about god damn time!'"
"I love you Sarah Mackenzie!"
"I love you too Harmon Rabb Jr.!"
Harm kissed Mac again.
" So what do you want to do with the rest of our night?" Harm asked.
"Well we could go back to my place." Mac replied.

Admiral's office
JAG HQ
"Sir, the commander and colonel are here to see you." Petty Officer Jason Tiner told the Admiral.
"Of course Tiner. Send them in." The Admiral said as he thought to himself, 'What the hell could they want now?!"
Harm and Mac entered the Admiral's office and stood at attention.
"At ease. What can I help you with now?"
"Well sir, the Colonel and I have some news. We're getting married!"
"Well it's about god damn time! Congratulations! As soon as I make the announcement, you both can have the rest of the day off."
"Thank you sir." Mac and Harm said together.
The Admiral, Harm and Mac walked out into the bullpen.
"Attention on deck! The Commander and the Colonel have an announcement."
"We would like everyone to know that we're getting married soon!" Mac said.
Harriet let out an excited squeal. Everyone laughed. After the congratulations, Harm and Mac packed up their briefcases and left the offices.
I'll stop there. Please read and respond. I also need some ides on how Mac can tell Harm about their baby. It doesn't have to be big and all since Harm already knows. I would appreciate it! Thanks!
