Now onwards..
Mac' apartment
Georgetown
1800, Friday
A week later, Mac was still on the floor. Well, she had been to work, eaten, worked out and done normal human stuff, but she found that lying on her back on her living room floor was like meditation to her. It helped her relax and think. Her doctor had told her she shouldn't lie on her back after the first trimester, but she was only 6 weeks pregnant so she figured she still had a little time left before she had to find other ways to relax.
She had successfully managed to avoid Harm all week – even though he had been hinting that they need to talk. She wasn't mad at him anymore, she just didn't know what to say. 'Oh hey, Harm, by the way remember that night in Sydney? Yea, I'm pregnant.. Sooo...
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Mac was feeling pretty zen, lying there and all so without thinking she said "It's open"
Suddenly she was looking up at Harm's face. His handsome, slightly confused face. She scrunched ger nose as a delicious smell hit her.
"Did you bring pizza?"
"Yes. What on earth are you doing?
"Thinking."
"About what?"
"Oh, you know, this and that and what not.."
"Mac, you're worrying me"
She finally got up and headed for the kitchen to get plates. "Relax, I'm fine. What are you doing here?" She was feeling a bit lightheaded. Pizza was a good idea. She took the box from him, opened it and dug in.
"We need to talk."
"Okay. Talk."
"Uhm, okay. Well, firstly I'm sorry we've been sort of avoiding each other lately. I wasn't exactly sure what had happened in Sydney. I needed time to process it." Mac nodded and gestured for him to go on as she picked up another slice.
"Well, I'm not sure how you feel, but I don't want to go back to the way things were. I mean, I want to move forward, with you, together. I love you, Mac."
Mac swallowed her pizza. "Im pregnant."
Harm just stared at her. She picked up another slice and ate it. He remained silent. And honestly, he looked like he was in shock.
"Harm…?"
"Mmhm?"
"Did you hear me?"
"Yep, pregnant, yep I heard you." He shook his head slightly and finally focused on her. "And how do you feel about that?"
"Well, at first I was quite surprised, which I guess I really shouldn't be since we did have sex. Then I was bewildered. You were ignoring me and I didn't know how everything was going to go. But from the first moment, I loved this little baby. I love him.. Or her. You don't have to be a part of it if you don't want to, but I already love this little one and I could never give it up." That seemed to shock Harm.
"Mac, I would never want to give up our child. I love you and I will love our baby more than anything in this world." He lifted her chin so he could look into her big brown eyes and then he drew her close. "I love you, both of you"
Mac wrapped her arms around his torso. "I love you too, Harm" Harm smiled and kissed the top of her head. Then he let go and ran his hands through his hair.
"Holy moly, we're going to have a baby." He started pacing. "We have to get a house. And baby stuff and clothes. Hey, can we get a dog? There's so much we need to do!"
"Relax, Sailor." Mac laughed. "We've got 8 months." She drew him back in and he wrapped his arms around her. "Do you really love me?"
"You'd better believe it, Marine." He smiled the biggest smile Mac had ever seen. "You and me, Mac, having a baby together"
She smiled as she pulled his head down for a kiss.
