Author's Note: This takes place after Season 8; I know Mac is missing, but for the sake of my story, Harm found her and Webb. Mac will be getting drunk in this story, I am aware that she used to be an alcoholic and that she has been sober for a long time.

Chapter 6: Four months later: He's Back…

Mac couldn't wait. Harm was coming back today. At least that's what the admiral had said. She kept repeating over and over what she was going to say to him. She had had a lot of time to think about giving him a chance. Even though she wasn't sure it was a good idea, something in her was intrigued by the idea of Her and Harm dating. Mac rubbed her stomach by now it was obvious; the whole office knew she was pregnant. Its not like she could hide it any more with how big her stomach was getting. Mac was hoping to wait until Harm came home so they could find out together if it was a boy or a girl, but she couldn't wait, she would surprise him with the results.

Mac had just left the doctors office with the good news and raced to the office to see Harm. He should be back by now. As she pulled up she braced her self for a reunion she had been dreaming of since the day he left. She had an ultra sound picture for each month he was gone so he could see how his baby boy and girl had grown. That's right Mac and Harm were going to be the proud parents of twins. She found out on her first visit to the doctor, which was the day after Harm had left. Twins wow, Mac was stunned at first, but she warmed up to the idea immediately. Mac walked into the office hoping to see Harm, but instead she was greeted with sad faces. Her thoughts immediately went to Harm's in trouble. Harriett just looked at her and Mac knew it was Harm.

She couldn't handle it, Mac started to feel dizzy and her world began to spin really fast. All she could do was pray that it wasn't Harm, but everyone's faces were saying that her answers weren't going to be answered. She heard Harriett mention that the plane Harm was supposed to be on crash-landed. So far there were no dead bodies just hundreds of injured ones. Mac couldn't take it anymore, her world soon became black and she collapsed backward into the strong arms of the man she had been racing to see.

Harm picked Mac up despite how heavy she was and carried her to the elevator. Once inside he laid her down and pushed the button to go down. Harm didn't have a clue how he had made it to the hospital in 10 minutes, but he had. It was there he found out he was having twins, one boy one girl. Three shocks' in one day was enough to make him pass out. First there was the shock of the plane crash, which he would have been in if he hadn't been in such a hurry to get home that he decided to catch an earlier flight, second there was the fact he was having twins and last he was having one boy and one girl. He had always wanted at least two children and he had wanted one boy one girl. Macs OBGYN said she was going to be okay, that she had had too much excitement for one day.

Harm waited by Macs bed for hours. He had gone out and gotten flowers and chocolates, he favorites and waited patiently for her to awaken. He was glad she was still wearing his silly promise ring; he had to remind himself to get his engagement ring back from Bud. When Mac finally opened her eyes she was blessed with the sight of the man she had been wanting to see all day.

"What happened? Your plane it crashed right?" Mac was so upset that her words were very shaky.

Harm placed a hand around her shoulders, "Shhhh it is all okay. I took an earlier flight. Everything is fine."

Mac was so happy to see Harm that she pulled him in for a nice long Kiss.

Harm responded by deepening the kiss, "I'm glad you waited for me."

"I though it was the least I could do." Mac replied looking at her ring.

It was in that moment that the next words out of Mac's mouth just came out, she didn't now why, but she knew she had been wanting to say them for a while, "Will you marry me?"

This caught Harm off guard. He watched as Mac picked up her purse and took out his engagement ring, "Shouldn't I be the one to ask you?"

"Let me talk. Please. Ever since you left I have been thinking about things. I came to some realizations. The truth is I was scared. I was scared that you were asking me to marry you for all the wrong reasons, but then I found this in Bud's office and he confessed that you have been hiding this form me ever since a month before we slept together. It was in that moment that I realized how stupid I was being. I was trying to keep myself from getting hurt and all I did was continue to hurt myself. I love you Harm. I want to marry you. I want us to be a family. I don't think I realized how much until I heard about the plane crash. I can't imagine my life with out you. You are my friend, my soul mate, and my lover. Everything I need in my life, please for give me and say you will marry me." Mac pleaded with all her heart and soul, she had tears streaming down her face.

Harm took the ring and closed the box, "Mac you are my everything, my life, my dreams, my future. You are my best friend, my confidant, my whole world, but I have to say no. Now just hear me out. The reason is that I don't want you to remember your engagement like this, in a hospital bed. I want it to be special, so let me plan the most perfect evening for you and then I will ask the question, so that way you can remember your special day for ever."

With that said Harm leaned in for another kiss. Mac didn't believe she could fall anymore in love with this man, but sure enough she was.

"Now we need to think of baby name…."
