Harm and Mac's Apartment
North of Union Station
( Flashback to 5 months in the past )
Harm grimaced as he threw the case file he was reading onto the bed. Closing his tired eyes he rubbed his hand over them. He hated reading over reports, but this was now all part of his new job. Still sitting with his eyes closed, he never saw Mac walk out of the bathroom, he never heard her open the drawer up. It wasn't until he felt her sit down on the bed, that he even knew she was in the room.
He glanced down at the box she placed on his lap. Looking at with curious eyes. He tried to remember if he forgot something, he knew it wasn't their anniversary or his birthday. He gave Mac a odd look. "Go ahead; open it."
Doing as his wife requested, he opened the box, inside was a mobile with little yellow bi-planes hanging on it. Under the mobile was a note. "What if he/or she has your looks and my brains?" Harm's eyes got wide, at that moment he looked up at Mac. She was holding a positive pregnancy test. "Really?"
"Yes Really, Harm I'm pregnant."
He jumped up out of bed pulling Mac with him. Taking her in his arms and swinging them both around the room. He went on like this for a few minutes before laying her back down on the bed, pushing up her short white night gown, exposing her still flat abdomen. He placed kisses on the exposed area that now housed his baby, their baby, the one they promised each other, their future.
( Forward 5 months )
Harm laid awake; thinking about the events of the night. Something bothered him about Brumby suddenly being back TAD at JAG. He couldn't pin point it. It just bothered him. Almost like they couldn't escape their past with him no matter how hard they tried. Mac shifted in the bed, when she did, she woke up.; noticing that Harm was laying awake. She moved closer to him.
"Penny for your thoughts sailor."
"There not worth a penny."
"Talk to me; I can always tell when something is bothering you."
"It's Brumby; I don't get why he's back"
"That's bothering me as well. I don't..."
"You don't what baby?"
"I don't want you two fighting. I don't want a repeat of Sydney."
"I don't think it'll come to that. Besides I've got 3 very good reasons not to let it escalate that far. You know I was just thinking about when you first told me about being pregnant."
Mac smiled as she thought back. "Well I think we are going to need an additional mobile now."
"I agree; I'm thinking I want to make one for our baby girl. One with Roses on it for her."
Mac smiled; "oh I think that's perfect. The bi/plane one for our son and Roses for our daughter. You're just perfect."
"I'm only as perfect as you make me, without out I'm only half a man."
"Not true; you've always been a whole man. Just a little flawed."
Harm raised his eyes brows, "I'm a little flawed?"
"Yes; but in a good way..." Mac said as she snuggled back down next to her husband.He pondered what she had just said as he drifted back off to sleep.
Next Morning Rabb Apartment
North of Union Station
Harm was the first to wake up, he drug his tired body out of bed making his way down to the kitchen, still hearing his wife's words from the night before. "Flawed" Is he really flawed? He now had to think about this. Still thinking as he stood drinking his coffee, he never heard Mac walk in. It wasn't until he felt her arms around him, that he even knew she was I there.
He placed his hand on top of hers. "Do you really think I'm flawed?"
Taking a deep breath;"Just a little, but aren't we all in some way?"
"I guess you're right."
"Harm are you going to turn this into a new obsession? Trying to figure out what you're flaw is?"
He turned around, "who me? Would I really do that?"
"Yes and Yes. Now that we've established that, I'm hungry and I want a bacon and cheese breakfast sandwich, with hot sauce and chopped avocado."
"Really?"
"Yes; we need energy to read and keep daddy updated... Now hop to Captain. " Mac said as she slapped his six, while she made her way to the sofa with her book, settling down and starting to read.
Early Morning
Plantation
Atlanta 1865
Joseph MacKenzie made his way down the grand staircase. He glanced around looking for his 2 daughters, not seeing them anywhere in sight, and feeling-flustered, he was about to yell for them, when Chloe approached him.
"I have come to see you off father."
"Where is sister child?"
"I am here father." Sarah said as she made way into the grand entrance way."
"Very good child, Sarah you will keep your sister on a leash while I am out."
"A leash Father?"
"I do not want to hear of her reckless ways. She tends to get into trouble."
"Father this is not..." Joseph raised his hand to Chloe about to slap her, when Sarah darted in front of him,resulting in him striking her. She stood in shock, placing her hand on her cheek.
"Father?"
"Next time do not get in my way child." He said as he turned to leave. Leaving both his daughters standing in The Grand Entrance way.
Chloe looked up at her older sister with sad eyes. "Sarah; I'm so sorry he struck you. It is all my fault..."
"No Chloe! No it is not your fault, father shouldn't have acted that way towards you. He should not hit you. Has he done this before?"
"Once before, he said I deserved it. I received bad marks in school."
Sarah lowered her head. She made her mind up, she needed to talk to Lt Rabb before he left.Making her way out of the house, she headed down to the stables and retrieved her horse Rosebud, quickly she saddled her up, mounting the beautiful animal and riding off in search of Lt Rabb.
