J.A.G HQ
Next Morning
Mac was in her office reading a pamphlet she got at the doctors before she came into work. She had made an appointment and had gotten right in. She wanted to read up on everything she needed to know for the next 9 months. She felt better then she did the day before and nothing could break her mood, or so she thought.
She looked up and watched Harm walking into the bullpen and noticed something was different about him, she couldn't put her finger on it. She wasn't sure if she wanted to be alone with him to have the inevitable long talk about things…they had so much to talk about... She sighed and got up making her way from her office to Harm. "Can we talk?" she managed, as she looked everywhere but into his eyes.
"Sure.. my office" he walked her to hid officedoor allowing her in before he entered.
He closed the door "What's up?"
"Well you tell me.. you seem…I don't know... different today"
"Different?" he said as he walked to his chair. "Well I found out something last night which shocked me."
"yeah?.. what?" she asked interested.
"I'm going to be a father.." he sighed.
Sarah looked up in surprise when he said that oh god does he know? she asked herself as she seemed to panic inside. Her stomach hurt and she felt as if she were going to be sick. He doesn't sound happy She cleared her throat trying to find her voice "You.. emm…don't sound so thrilled about being a father?"
"I'm not happy.."
I'm not happy! Sarahs heart felt as if it were going to burst in her chest, as she heard Harm reveal he was not happy about being a dad. 'of her child?' she asked herself. "Why not? I thought you always wanted to be a dad.." she asked softly, her voice low and filled with emotions that she couldn't control. She was dying on the inside. Did he truly not want her baby?
She sat down in one of the chairs "How come Harm? You always wanted a child.."
"I thought so too, but its not a child of love, just circumstance." He sighed as he started
"I always pictured having a child with the love of my life...Not some sleazy one-night-stand" Harm stared at Mac when he spoke, trying to show her with his eyes that SHE was the love of his life, but she was looking away and didn't see.
"Children are gifts" Mac whispered. "No matter how they are created."
Harm looked at her "In some cases yes, but not in this case Mac."
Mac heard those words and held back tears in her eyes..
"What.. are you going to do?"
He picked up his pen and some files "Forget about it and get to work."
"Oh" she got up "I'll see you later then"
"Yeah.. see ya Mac.." he said not looking up from the papers in front of him.
Mac looked back for a moment, then headed to her office and shut the door and went to her desk. She fought to hold back the tears and grew angry ripping the pamphlet and tossing it in the garbage, as she started to cry.
Harm noticed that Mac's mood changed from how she was earlier. He was tempted to go ask her what was wrong, but closed blinds were never a good sign.
His thoughts were interrupted by the phone "Commander Rabb" he said then sighed when he realized who was on the other end.
"Renee.."
"Hey baby! I just called to see how things are."
"Things are busy Renee.. I-" he started but she interrupted.
"Oh Harm come on…I miss you so much. I wanted to let you know that I'll be counting the minutes until you come home and we can enjoy the night." she purred in his ear.
"Renee I have a lot to work on today, so I don't know when I'll be home." he hung up on her. Running his hand through his hair he sighed "God I need a drink.."
He didn't know what to do now. Renee stonewalled him the other night when he came home from work and found her on his couch, half naked. She definitely knew how to get what she wanted. That was the night she told him that he was going to be a father. He thought he would be ecstatic, but instead he felt as if his world came crashing down around him. He shuddered in slight disgust. The celebratory sex they had afterwards was anything but good. Nothing was good enough now, not since he and Mac made love. She had ruined him for anyone else. Harm's eyes drifted over to Mac's office door.
The light was out again. That was the third time in a row this week that she had gone out for her lunch break, and not asked him if he wanted to come. He pouted a little. Where was she? What was she doing right now? He wondered to himself.
Did what happened between them cause this large rift to happen? He considered that thought for a moment. It was ever since he told her that Renee was pregnant, that she had started to avoid him. Was she just trying to make things easier for him? she had done it before.
He didn't want to be with Renee anymore, baby or no baby.
He didn't love her. He loved Mac, wished to God that she was the one carrying his child, and not the blonde Video Princess. He smirked. That nickname suited Renee to a T. Mac was right on the money with that one.
He leaned back into his office chair, his mind going over the possibilities of how to fix his situation in his head. He would be there for his baby with Renee, he knew he couldn't do anything else. It wasn't the child's fault that he no longer loved it's mother, or if he ever had in the first place?.
But he knew that he had to end things with Renee. He knew he couldn't be happy with her and putting on a fake happy face and sucking it up just wasn't good enough for him, Renee or their baby. He nodded to himself. He would talk to Renee tonight when he got home.
Harm sat back for some time thinking about what to do with Renee, he wanted her out of his life and fast
his thoughts were interrupted when he noticed someone walking into the bullpen and got up " Mac!" he yelled to her but she ignored him and made her way to her office. He sighed and ran up to catch her, grabbing her gently at the elbow, causing her to look up at him startled.
"What do you want Harm?" she asked as she removed his hand from her. "I need to talk to you Sarah" she looked at him stunned he called her by that name.
"We have nothing to talk about."
"Yes we do Mac, we have lots to talk about, because you see I..." he started but was interrupted when someone called his name.
"Damn it..." he muttered but didn't move away from Mac he looked at her and sighed
"What are you doing here Renee?"
"I thought I would steal you away for a while." she came and wrapped her arms
around his left arm and gave Mac a look.
Mac looked at Renee and then at Harm "Have fun." she managed to say as she opened the door to her office.
Renee gave him a look of hurt "Harm?"
"Don't Harm me Renee.. I've had enough of you, more then I can take!"
Renee felt pain in her heart "Harm you need to relax and think. You don't mean that."
"The hell I don't!" he said loud enough for her and Mac to hear.
Mac felt like rolling on the floor laughing at Renee's face
She saw how serious Harm was and knew that Renee had just lost Harm for good, for whatever she was doing to him.
Mac wanted to say something but Renee zeroed in on her "This is your fault Mackenzie!"
"How is this MY fault? Your the one that he doesn't like!"
"Your the one who seduced him...you"
Harm was watching the 2 exchange words and could feel people watching them.
"Your the one that doesn't appreciate him Renee! You just use him a trophy for your damned parties! And I didn't seduce him!"
He pushed Mac into her office and dragged Renee in and shut the door "What the hell is going on?" he demanded.
Renee "What's going on? -I know all about you and this slut here Harm! I maybe blond but I know!"
Harm "Oh... I see"
Mac could see Harm was angry and just backed up a bit.
Harm looked at Mac and saw the hurt in her eyes. He was pretty angry himself "If I ever hear those words coming out of your mouth again Renee..." he would have loved to hit her just then but he was not one to hit woman no matter how angry they made him.
Renee folded her arms on her chest "What? You going to hit me? Hmmm ?"
"I won't let you say that about the woman I love Renee"
Renee opened her mouth to say something but closed it making a eerie silence fill the room.
She knew right then she had lost Harm for good..
Mac blinked. Did he just say what she thought he did. Her mind reeled trying to compensate for the lack of thought. Her hand went to her belly. She was just over three months now, 14 weeks to be exact and she was starting to feel the normal "bubble" feelings from within her, as her child turned inside her.
It seemed as if the baby was just as surprised at its father's announcement as she was.
Mac started to feel nauseous and moved her other hand to her stomach as well. She tried to get out, but Renee was in the way and wouldn't move an inch.
"Mac?" Harm called noticing how pale she was at the moment,
just as she was about to tell Renee to get the hell out of her way, she retched causing Renee to scream.
Harm ran to Mac and moved her from Renee helping her finish in the trashcan "Honey what is it?"
Renee "Harm?" she questioned
Harm "Go get yourself cleaned off Renee. And get someone in here to clean up the mess! Your a big girl"
Renee growled and walked out heading to the bathroom feeling sick herself "I cant believe this!" she yelled.
"What's going on with you Mac? Almost every lunch hour this week you've been out of our office. You usually invite me with you, not that I'm jealous or anything, but before you used to tell me where you were going.. the last few days no one knew where you where...Are you sick Mac? Is that what is wrong?" he questioned, worried.
Mac groaned and shook her head. She had hoped that...the morning sickness, which claimed her at anytime of the day, would be over by now. Usually with in the 2nd trimester it stopped completely. Of course she had to be one of the unfortunate ones which had it all throughout her pregnancy. Mac sat down and leaned back.
"Nothing's wrong. It's just a little upset stomach" she said, still unsure of what to say to Harm.
Harm looked at her "Mac...
..something is bothering you now tell me what is it you are worrying me."
She sighed. How would she tell him? Blurt it right out? Or give him some story about a one-night-stand with a handsome navy Commander that stole her heart?
Harm left the room long enough to get them a drink and ran into Renee "It's over Renee. I don't want to see you anymore."
Renee "What do you mean it's over? You choose her because...because you love her? or because she's going to have your...
"She's going to have your..." harm looked at Renee then. "My what, Renee? What do you know that I don't?"
Renee smirked at his question She hasn't told him yet I wonder how he would feel if he thought everyone knew but him
"So she left you in the dark but told everyone else, huh?" she shook her head "and you love this woman?"
"How can you love someone who is hiding a big secret from you?"
Harm just stared at Renee
"It doesn't matter now anyway because things will change once she goes through with her plans." she walked off after saying that
Harm went after Renee and walked in front of her "What is Mac planning to do Renee and how would you know, huh?"
Renee "Harm your so naive!"
"Renee"
"Fine! Your going to be a father or well you were that is.."
Harm stepped back "Mac would have told me if she were pregnant Renee, and she would never ever do that to a baby!"
"People change Harm."
"No. That's where your wrong Renee. Mac would never do that to anyone not even to a innocent baby unlike you...you've changed a lot. I can tell and it's not in a way I'm proud of."
"What is that supposed to mean?
"Renee you became a witch over night and I should have seen it sooner then stay with you I should have followed my heart and that's what I'm doing now."
Harm walked off back to his office where he left Mac, but Mac wasn't there.
He went to her office and noticed it was empty too, "Harriet, do you have any idea where Mac went? He ran his hands through his hair.
