Army Base/ Union Hospital

Atlanta 1865

Ensign Roberts could not believe what he had just heard, hoping he had indeed heard right.

"General, Ms MacKenzie is married to Lt Rabb?"

"Yes Ensign, the base Chaplin married them 10 minutes ago, myself and Nurse Coats served as witness, this way Mrs Rabb now has rights to be here. Not a damn thing anyone can do about it."

Ensign Roberts smiled; "Sir that is brilliant."

"That's why I'm the General." General Chegwidden smirked and head back towards the hospital ward.

Sarah sat next to her Harmon, still holding his hand in hers. Harmon opened his eyes back up looking deep into hers, "Hello Mrs Rabb"

She smiled; "I love hearing that my love."

"I love being able to call you that." He winced in pain as he attempted to move. Sarah started to move away, fearing that she was causing his pain. He reached for her. "My darling where are you going?"

"I do not wish to see you in pain."

"I will be fine, this is not my first time I've been shot."

She was shocked by his words; "You've been injured before?"

"Yes; twice before now. Unfortunately that is part of war. It is a risk that all soldiers must bare."

Sarah lowered her head; "I never thought about like that, my father never talked about the war with us. He only spoke ill of the north and of The Union. He always blamed all Union Soldiers for the death of my brother."

"Was your brother a confederate solider?"

"Yes he was, father forced him to join. He told him it was his duty to fight and honor our ways. I however do not agree with that. I feel that our ways are wrong,no one should be sold like properly." Sarah started sobbing she couldn't help it; she knows she is still a sold woman, her father would still see to that.

Harmon reached for her, taking hold of her hand and pulling her to him. "Darling please talk to me; why are you upset?"

"I am still a sold woman, Mr Brumby will still attempt to find me I am afraid."

"No; you are my wife, in the eyes of God and by law. No other man may claim you as their wife." Before Harmon could say anymore General Chegwidden walked back into his curtained off area.

"Lt Rabb how are you feeling?"

"Like I've been shot General." The General just laughed.

"I do believe you where Lt, however I understand it was for a very noble cause." He said as he glanced towards Sarah.

"Yes Sir; she's worth it."

"I will not beat around the bush; effective immediately you will heading back to Washington DC where you will be taking over the post that Captain Morris is vacating."

"Sir?"

"Lt; I know your not a solider by nature, that you practiced law before you enlisted. With this new post you will be promoted to Captain and will head up the Union Law office in DC. "

"Thank you Sir."

"You've earned it Lt." The General nodded to Sarah; "Good day Mrs Rabb." With that he turned and headed out.

Sarah just looked at Harmon; she didn't know what to say, the man she fell in love with was a solider not a lawyer, this news came as a shock to her. Harmon could see the questions in her eyes. "Darling please talk to me?"

"I do not know what to think; I thought I knew you, why did you not tell me you are a lawyer?"

"I've not been a lawyer for a number of years now, I honestly thought that part of my life was over, I figured once I went home to Washington, I would find a new career."

"Did you enjoy being a lawyer?"

"Yes; I worked for those that needed help. I never did it for the pay, I only wished to help those in need."

Sarah smiled; there was the man she'd fallen in love with; "Than you can do this once again; only this time you will be helping out soliders like you."

"Are you fine with this?"

"Yes my love; I will go with you where life takes us."

Harm and Mac's Apartment

North of Union Station

Harm tossed and turned in the bed; sleep was not going to come to him. Sitting up he ran his hands over his sleep deprived face. "If it's not your children keeping me awake;it's you!" Mac moaned as she turned over to face her husband.

He rubbed her belly; "I'm sorry baby; go back to sleep."

Sitting up in the bed and moving next to her husband, she took him her arms."Talk to me Rabb"

"I just..I can't figure this out! What's going on with Brumby? I don't understand why..." a light bulb went off... "You! He came here looking for you. Damn him!! He's still after you."

"What?"

"Don't you see, he's still hung up on you. Why didn't I pick up on that sooner."

"Ham we talked about this last night; remember we decided to show him he's playing with the big boys now!"

"Oh I remember that conversation very well; it's in graved in my long term memory."

"That's good to know; so why don't we add to that memory." Mac started to climb into Harms lap, when suddenly pain shot through her lower back, she grabbed her abdomen along with Harms hand and started squeezing it. "Uhhhhhhh"

"Baby what's wrong"

"I think.. I think.. I'm in labor!!"
