Mac and Harm Coping with an incredible illness

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.

22. Hidden pain

September 2000

Mac had been in a lot of pain during the last month. She tried to not let her children know she was ill, because they did not need to know. But she also tried to hide it from Harm as she did not want to worry him even more. But he could read her and she knew that. Gladly she only had pain during her period once a month.

Harm is worried about her because he knows that it is hard for her to admit that she is ill again. He knew that she would be more open towards him, like she was, if she would acknowledge it. She used to tell him when she was in pain but he knows that she will slowly start telling him about the pain again. She first has to acknowledge it to herself.

When he visited her in her office he already knew the answer. She was sitting at her desk with her hand on her stomach and her eyes closed. He walked around her desk and put a hand on her shoulder as he sat down on the edge of the table. "Sarah talk to me." "It hurts Harm. I admit it." "Honey let me help you." He put a hand on her stomach and massaged it a little trying to get her to relax. With his other han d he held her hand. "Honey I am going to go by your doctors office on the way home to get a new prescription for your pills." "Thank you." He hoped that she would be better soon again.
