Harm and Mac's Residence
Falls Church, Virginia
Mac was well into her second trimester as she was 5 ½ months pregnant. She looked over at Harm and saw that he was fast asleep. She on the other hand, couldn't sleep because she was hungry. She would go out herself, but Harm would probably wake up and not see her and start to worry.
"Harm! Wake up!" She said, shaking him out of his sleep.
"Mac, let me go back to sleep." Harm said groggily.
"Harm, I'm hungry!" Mac said impatiently.
"What else is new?" He stated as he rolled over to face her. Mac hit him in his arm. "Oww! What was that for?"
"That was for your comment! Don't ever make a Marine mad! Especially if she's you Marine fiancée who is pregnant with twins!" Mac exclaimed.
"Okay, Okay! I'm sorry! What do you want me to get you?" He asked as he was putting his clothes on.
"Cookie dough ice cream and pickles."
"What are you trying to do to our children Mac?! I want them to be healthy!"
"Well sorry, it's just that, I happen to be craving that kind of food right now!" she said with a smile.
Harm got up after putting on his shoes. "I'll be back soon. I love you Babe." He said as he kissed her.
"I love you too."

Falls Church, Virginia
Harm pulled up to the little store and parked his Lexus. He climbed out and walked through the door to the store. He looked around and only saw the clerk at the register. After they exchanged hellos, Harm walked to the freezer section to get the ice cream. He then found a jar of pickles too. Harm walked to the counter to pay.
"Some pretty unusual food for 3:30 in the morning!" The clerk said.
"Well my fiancée's pregnant and she's having cravings! Weird ones I might add!" Harm said. They both chuckled about that.
Both of the men looked up at the door when they heard it open. In walked a man with a trench coat on. He walked straight to the register.
"Gimmie the money!" He demanded as he pointed the gun at Harm.
"Take it easy!" Harm said calmly.
"Gimmie what's in the register too!" He said to the clerk. They both did what they were told to do. When the robber turned himself towards the clerk, Harm took his chance. They struggled with one another then fell to the floor. Harm was on top of the robber, trying to disarm him. All of a sudden a shot rang out. Harm stood up then fell back to the floor. The robber grabbed the money and ran out of the store.
"Sir! Are you okay? I'm going to call an ambulance! Hold on!" The clerk told Harm.
"Tell my fiancée that I love her and that I'm sorry it took us so long to get together."
The clerk ran to the phone and called 911, He returned back to Harm.
"The ambulance is on its way." The clerk said.
"It's too late." With that, Harm was dragged off to darkness.
