Two points, first and most important is I AM SO SORRY!!!!!!
I have had a million issues with getting this finished, it has been way too long and totally frustrating for me and no doubt for you too!
I finally finished my final year of school and all my exams are over and now my computer has a virus so I practically had to re start this chapter in frustration with my normal computer out of action and jumping form whatever computer is available to get it typed.
Now I may have to totally redo my computer and I may end up loosing all of my final day of school photos!!!
OK enough excuses and on with the story. Thank you so much for sticking with me and even more to those who have reviewed!!
One other thing, I just re read my story to catch myself up and all that and guess what – Sam just had 2 kids, did anyone else notice or is it just me!?! Since I am going to have to re write 2 chapters to fix this problem, I am just going to say that she was one of those women who almost lost a twin prematurely and they saved her and she ended up carrying the second one to full term! I have also changed the previous 2 chapters to make it fit.
Chapter 15
Mac awoke slowly and comfortably, the ache in her back had lessened and hope entered her heart again
"Morning" Harm said, his fingers lightly tracing a pattern on her side, she rolled over and brought his head down to hers to fully kiss him
"Thank you" she said, he trailed his hand over to rest on her back
"Feeling better?" he gently rubbed the area under his hand
"Much" They parted and he pressed his lips to her forehead, he pulled her closer and whispered in her ear
"I love you" he moved and his lips brushed her neck
"Harm" she said warningly, her voice betraying her desire
"Mmm" he said innocently, his lips and hands still caressing her body
"We can't, not here" his hands stopped but his lips continued to nibble her neck
"I miss this, our us time" he got out of bed, she son followed and moved into his arms
"Me too" he kissed her forehead again
"Dibs on the first shower" he turned and ran into the en suite leaving a playfully shocked Mac behind. After they had both showered they made their way to the commissary and then to see Sam in the infirmary.
Sam and Jack had been discussing baby names since he had been born and had come up with a few short listed names. They knew they were going to use Jacob and were pretty sure it was going to be his middle name but from there on they had no idea.
When Harm and Mac arrived they were looking at each other's short lists and crossing names out
"Hey, how's everything going?" Mac asked as she looked at the papers in front of them
"Good, we're down to only a few now" Sam replied, she looked quite good for a woman who had just had a baby
"Hey did you get rid of Samuel?" Jack injected
"Think Samuel Jacob O'Neill"
"What's wrong with that?"
"It's very biblical"
"So?"
"Jack when was the last time you actually went to church?"
"Last time we had a Sunday on Earth"
"Exactly, We're not all that devout, if you get my drift. I mean I still want him baptised and all that, but…"
"I do like Tyler" he said looking down at her sheet
"That's nice," said Mac
"Tyler Jacob O'Neill, has a bit of a ring to it huh?" said Jack goofily, Sam shook her head and smiled
"Tyler Jacob O'Neill, yeah, I like it" she smiled back at him and they looked over at the clear crib at her bedside "OK" she said, they kissed gently and called Janet over who wrote it on the official records.
Once Tyler was awake and fed, Sam handed him over to Mac and she was once again awed by the tiny life that she held in her arms.
"Mac, Jack and I have been talking and we want you and Harm to be Sarah and Tyler's godparents, we know you are the godparents of the Roberts' kids but it would really be great"
"I'd be glad to and I'm sure Harm would be just as delighted"
"Jack is probably asking him now" The boys had left them to catch up a little while ago and they had been quite happy to oblige.
"So how is little Sarah?"
"She's doing great, she's still in a private room in the incubator but since her brother has now been born Janet thinks she may be ready to be released soon"
"That's good, have you had much time with her?"
"We've spent most of our free time with her and since I'm now on leave I have had a lot more of it"
"I'm glad it all worked out"
"Me too, we were very worried about Sarah for awhile there. What's happening with you?"
"Not much at the moment, we have decided to try again though"
"So, tell me about it"
"Well, we got some of the latest results, we're not telling anyone yet but seeing as I never see you, I'm pregnant" Sam's face broke into a wide smile and she motioned to Mac to come over for a hug
"I'm so happy for you, I hope this is it for you"
"Thanks, but you can understand why we don't want to broadcast it everywhere"
"No totally, I get it, trust me"
"Thanks Sam" They hugged again before Jack and Harm walked back into the room
"Janet says we can take Sarah home when Tyler is ready," Jack said sitting on the side of Sam's bed, which brought a smile to her face
"I'm sorry guys but we'll have to go and pack before lunch, they want us back at work tomorrow"
"No worries, just make sure you come back to say goodbye before you go" Sam said
"I promise" Mac smiled at her friend before they began to head back to their room "Hold, on sailor, I wanna go and see her"
"Who, Sarah?"
"Yeah" they made their way to the little room and Mac looked in on her namesake "She's getting bigger, she looks healthier now"
"She does" he kissed her temple before wrapping his arms around her and resting his hands on her abdomen, a gesture that he'd done before but now it felt right, she smiled to herself, thinking about the baby that they would soon have. Now there was no room for what if and maybe, this was it, Mac was going to convince herself until it hurt if it would help their baby to be brought into the world.
OK I do have more in my brain but I had to get this up before I stressed out about how long it has been since I updated.
One last point – I have noting against the biblical thing I am in fact a Christian but I just thought that it didn't really suit that much. I know the background that Jack is from a Catholic family – Irish is it?? But still it just didn't really work for me.
