by Anna1988

Harm and Sarah have to cope with the fact that Sarah is very ill and that she might not be able to have children. Will they have the family they dreamed of or not? The story does not fit the series and cannon.

7. Another baby

September 1997

At an appointment with her doctor Sarah, Harm and Rose find out that Mac is pregnant again. Harm on one side is happy for her and for them but on the other side he is wooried about her too. He knows that she will be in a lot of pain during the pregnancy and delivery. Sarah is going to hurt very much.

When they return home after the appointment Harm and Sarah sit down in the livingroom and talk. "Mac I am worried about you. The doctor says it is too soon after Rose. Are you Ok to go through with this?" "Are you asking me to kill our baby?" "No. I am asking you if you are OK with this. It is your decision. If you want to keep the baby then we will keep it and if not we will not keep. It. I would love to have a second child but you have to deliver the baby and have to carry it inside of you for seven more months. You have to be comfortable not me." "Harm I know you are worried. So am I. But I really want this baby. I need it Harm." "If that is you decision then we will keep it." Both Mac and Harm could not easily put aside the fears about Mac´s illness and the possibility of Mac dying under the delivery or the baby dying. Harm also was not able to put aside the fear that Mac would be in pain and that he would not be able to really ease the pain and that she had to live on painkillers and the fear of getting crampes when he is not around.
