What followed to that confession of love was a complete silence, followed up by applause. Harm and Mac smiled. Chaplain Turner did the same and stepped forward. 'I don't think that I can add something to that' he said.

Hesitating, Mattie stepped forward. 'May I say something Father?' she softly said. 'Before you continue?'

'Of course my child'.

'First: that was about time you two got that off your chest!'

Everyone laughed at that, including Harm and Mac. They all knew Mattie was right. It was about time they confessed to that.

'Okay, so here goes'. Mattie nervously fidget with her fingers. 'Since this is the day of surprises and everything, I wanted to ask you something Mac. As you obviously know, marrying this tall, handsome guy means that I come with him. Sorry that I have to say it, but wherever he goes, I follow. You're not getting rid of me'.

Mac grinned. 'I wouldn't ever want that Mattie'.

'Good. Well, here's the thing. You two are two amazing people. You two have been through so much, both together and on your own. From knowing the both of you for only the past two years I can tell that you rely on each other and both hurt when the other one does. Since Dad already signed a paper, making him my official first parent…'

She bit her lip and smiled, looking up to Mac. 'Okay, so I'll just say it, 'cause there is no way I can put this delicately… There's an opening. It's not an easy job, but Mattie Grace Rabb Inc. is looking for a Mom. And we think that you're the best candidate for the job. So what I'm really trying to say here is… You think that you will be my Mom? Make my family complete? Sort of marry me too?'

For one slight moment, Mac was speechless. The tears stung in her eyes again. 'Of course'. She let go of Harm's hands and pulled her in a hug. 'I do Mattie. From the bottom of my heart, I do'.

Mattie started to laugh, relieved. 'Well then, Mom, welcome to the family'. She kissed Mac's cheek and moved back to her place in line.

Chaplain Turner stepped forward again. 'Any other interruptions?'

'Just pronounce them Dad!' Sturgis called. 'I want to see that kiss!'

Varese slapped his arm. 'Sturgis! Behave yourself!'

When no one else wanted to say something, the Chaplain smiled. 'Can I have the rings then?'

Little AJ, pushed by the Admiral, stepped forward and Mac felt the tears running down her face again. They'd done everything perfect. They'd thought of every little detail. Little AJ gave the first ring to Harm.

'Repeat after me: With this ring, I thee wed'.

Harm took her left hand and while slipping the ring on her hand, repeated: 'With this ring, I thee wed'.

Then it was Mac's turn and she took the ring out of little AJ's hand. Taking Harm's hand she slipped the ring on his finger. 'With this ring, I thee wed'.

They smiled broadly at each other and Chaplain Turner saw the eagerness in their eyes. 'By the power that is given me by God Almighty and the state of Virginia, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride Mr. Rabb'.

'Finally' Harm replied and bent down to catch Mac's lips in a kiss full of love, devotion and promise.

All of a sudden the church was full of laughter, full of joy while everyone applauded and some Academy friends of Harm howled their approval. When they finally broke in the need of air, Harm searched for her eyes. 'I love you Mrs. Rabb'.

'I love you too Mr. Rabb'.

And when they walked out of the church, through the arch of swords, and Bud started to pronounce them, Mac couldn't have wished for a better day.

'Pronouncing for the first time in public: Commander and Mrs. Harmon Rabb jr.!'

The feelings running through the two were overwhelming and the older generation thought about their own wedding day, all those years ago. While the officers moved out of line, everyone run to the couple to congratulate them. Mac searched for her Uncle Matt and Harm nodded when he saw her look. 'Go find him Ninja-girl'.

She broke away from the crowd and ran to her uncle, who enveloped her in a bear hug. Letting her tears fall once again, Mac held onto him like there was no tomorrow. 'Hey Uncle Matt'.

He pulled away and held her at arms length. 'No more tears today Sarah. You've cried enough inside that church already. I don't want to see it anymore'. But when Mac locked eyes with him, she caught a single tear slipping down his cheek too.

'I'm glad you're here Uncle Matt'. She kissed his cheek and smiled a brilliant smile.

'I'm glad to be here Sarah. Now go and stand beside your husband like you vowed you would. I'll see you later'.

Mac nodded and, giving his hands one more squeeze, she returned to Harm's side. Like she vowed she would.

TBC...so just do what you always do
