Harm and Mac's Apartment

North of Union Station

Mac just stood there, her eyes just had to be playing a bad trick on her. "Mic what brings you by?" She was attempting to keep her cool about her however she felt her nerves starting to get the best of her, damn pregnancy hormones.

"Well Luv, I..."

Harm stopped dead in his tracks outside his door; when he saw Brumby darkening his doorway. "Brumby, what are you doing here?"

Mic turned around when he heard, Harm's voice. "Captain, I'm here to see you."

"Me? What on earth; do you need to see me on a Saturday for?"

"This Sir." Brumby started to hand Harm a file, he nodded his head. "Give this case to the on-call JAG. And for further knowledge down the road, please call my work cell phone, don't show up at my home. DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME, COMMANDER?"

"Yes Sir Captain." Brumby heads away from the open apartment door, just as Harm made his way inside, slamming the door behind him. Mac just stood off to the side watching her husband. She could tell even after all the years that had passed, Mic Brumby still rubbed Harm the wrong way. She went up behind wrapping her arms around his waist, placing her head on his back.

"I know he still gets to you, don't let him."

Harm rubbed his wife's hands; "I can't help it, Bugme always has brought out the worst in me; nothing has changed in that regard, and I highly doubt it ever will."

Knowing that she needed to get his mind off the past, she decided to change the subject. "I do believe that I sent you out for our breakfast, your lovely wife and children are waiting still."

Harm turned in her arms; "Always thinking with your stomach; aren't ya marine."

"Well I have to keep my strength up; after all, I'm growing two squids here."

"Hey now! Is that any way to talk about our beautiful offspring!"

"Talk to me when you have two squids sitting on your bladder 24/7. Now give me my food!"

Harm smirked; as he handed his wife her breakfast. She started towards the living room, "Well Rabb; are you coming? I can't eat and read all at the same time."

"Yes, Ma'am. I'm at your beck and call."

Union Base Camp

Outside Atlanta Ga 1865

The more Sarah stood there; the more Mr. Brumby's words made her stomach turn, she felt like trash and this feeling made her feel sick. How could her father expect her to go with a man like him, oh how she wished her dear mother was still alive, she knew her mother would not allow this. She raised her head when she felt a hand on her shoulder, her eyes met those of a young nurse.

"Pardon me, ma'am, would you happen to Sarah?"

"Yes; Yes I am."

"Lt Rabb is asking for you, I am not supposed to allow you inside, however, if you will come with me, I will make sure you can see him."

Feeling that she could trust the young woman; she followed her. "My name is Jennifer Coats by the way."

"I am Sarah MacKenzie."

"Oh; I thought your last name is Rabb just the Lt?"

"Well yes it is; it is just very new to me still, we have not been married that long."

Jennifer smiled; "Oh I see; still in the honeymoon phase?"

"Yes; you could say that." Sarah looked around when they reached what looked to be a dressing area for ladies. "Why are we here?"

"I am sneaking you in to see, Lt Rabb, you will need to be clothed like a nurse, just like I am."

Now Sarah understood, "Jennifer I do not wish for you to get into any trouble on my behalf."

Jennifer took Sarah by her hands; "I heard him calling for you; it is like his heart is breaking. He is hurting not knowing where you are. I can not allow him to hurt." Jennifer passed over a spare nurse's gown, "Now hurry and change while I keep a lookout, oh and put the surgical mask over your face."

Sarah nodded and proceeded behind the curtained-off area; changing out of her dress and dressing in ladies' nurse's dress. When she was ready she stepped out making her way towards Nurse Coats. Jennifer took her by the hand and led her to the tent where Lt Rabb had been moved to.

Once they reached the entrance, another Nurse approached them; "Nurse Coats I have been looking for you? Where did you disappear too?"

"My apologies Ma'am, Nurse O'Hara has just arrived tonight. I have been assisting her in getting ready."

"Very good; take her with you to the surgical ward. Show her the rounds."

"Yes, ma'am Nurse Hawkes." Both ladies watched as the other Nurse walked away. Once she was out of eyeshot, Jennifer took Sarah's hand leading her through the tent towards where Lt Rabb had been taken too.

When they reached him; Sarah dashed to his side, taking his hand in hers; she lowered her mask down so she could kiss his palm. Using her free hand she gently stroked his cold pale face.

"Oh my darling Harmon; I have come to you, please open up your beautiful blue eyes for me. Please my love; you can not leave me alone in this world, I will not make it without you."

"Sarah"

"Yes my darling; I am right here."

"Tired"

(Sobbing) "I know you are my love; just rest, I will not leave you; I will never leave you."

Harm and Mac's Apartment

North of Union Station

Harm laid the book down on the nightstand; he stroked his wife's sleeping face; leaning down he placed a kiss on her cheek, then one on her exposed abdomen. Just the mere thought of Bugme getting close to family made his skin crawl, there was still something about him that he just didn't trust. The man seemed to always have a hidden agenda. Deciding he needed an answer to why Bugme had shown up at his home earlier; he inched his way out of bed.

He made his way through the apartment and over to the desk; he picked up the phone, waiting for the other person to pick up.

[ "Hello"]

"Did I wake ya up, buddy?"

["Who is this?"]

"Strug it's Harm."

["Sorry I got in late last night; what can I do for you?"

"Arent you at JAG?"

["I left there about an hour ago; after I dropped off my report. Lt Roberts is there now."]

"When you where there; had any new cases been sent in?"

["Not to my knowledge; Harm what's going on?]

"I'm not sure; I'll have to get back to ya on this." Harm hung up, now with more questions than answers.
