Chapter Fifteen:

1700 EST
Bethesda Naval Hospital
Harm's Hospital Room

Mac walked into his hospital room to find the guard gone, and Harm missing. She walked over to the nurses' station. "Where is my husband?" The guard came walking up. "Corporal, where this patient?"

"Ma'am, sorry, I went to the restroom and got knocked out." He said rubbing his head. "Someone came up behind me." They did a cursory search of his room and the hospital, and Harm was nowhere to be found.

Mac, started getting panicked. She put her hand on her stomach. "Where is your Daddy?" Mac turned to Sergei, "I have to go get air, I am heading to the roof."

"Be careful Mac."

Mac made her way up the stairs. She had finally gotten to the point in her pregnancy where she felt that she could comfortably make her way around walking, besides, she needed to do a little bit of exercising.

She bundled her coat around her. The chill of December was in the air, and she knew that it would start snowing. She would have to take Mackenzie out once she bought her the snow gear. She opened the door and saw Harm standing in the snow.

"I spent part of Christmas in 2001 in Belleville. The snow was beautiful. I always feel closer to Dad up on Gram's farm." He said. "I miss Dad so much right now, and yet somehow, I feel closer to him."

"You feel closer to him because you both have similar experiences."

Harm looked at her. "Yeah." Mac didn't say anything as she let her fiancé reach far back into his mind. His eyes fell on her. "It was the Christmas that I met Jen. She dressed up as Santa - - we ended up kissing - - our second kiss."

Mac looked up in the sky as she felt the first snow fall. "Flyboy, come on, I have to get you inside now."

"I want to be inside you," He said mischievously, cocking an eyebrow.

"Well, that is how the baby got inside me," She fired back at him.

"Baby?"

"Yes, a baby."

"I'm going to be a father for the third time!" He screeched. He wanted to pick her up and swing her around , but being as ill as he was, he was unable to do it because of his illness.

She smiled and gave him a kiss. "By this time next year we will have added another baby to the mix." She held back on the fact that Brennen would be living with them. She didn't want to hash out whatever memory of what happened to Emily, she wanted him to have a good Christmas.

"I have to get you inside. You are carrying my child, and you might get sick!" Harm scolded her. Mac laughed, there was a vestige of her Harm left inside of him, swiss cheese memory or not.

She got him inside and got him down the elevator. "You know Harm, next time you want to leave, you don't have to knock out your guard. Let him walk you around, that is after all his job."

Harm looked at her, his blue eyes gazing at her with intensity, "I didn't knock out the guard Mac."

AN-Okay guys, short I know, but I typed up this chapter pretty late last night. Please read and review as always, and I will try to update soon. It seemed like a good place to end the chapter, hopefully more by the end of the week.
