Subject: Adding to us Part 1/3 (The nine years after series, the early years)

Harm and Mac’s house, London
August 2005

Mac stretched lazily when her husband’s alarm went off. Her husband. The newness of the title still made her smile as she reached around him and turned the alarm off. She felt his arms go around her and pull her close.
“Sorry, I forgot that I don’t have to get up,” he said and nuzzled her cheek.
“No problem,” she said as she moved her hands down his back. “We could get up and go for a run?” she suggested.
He responded by starting to kiss down her neck, placing his hands more strategically on her body.
“Mmm,” she moaned. “Or we could exercise right here.”
“You’re starting to read my mind,” he said and kissed her deeply.
He was still getting used to being able to kiss and touch her whenever he wanted to. Mrs. Harmon Rabb. He couldn’t get enough of her. They were good together, in more ways than one. The crazy idea to flip a coin to see who would follow who had placed them in London, he was the Force Judge Advocate Europe, while she was on inactive reserves. It hadn’t felt completely right to him, but she had assured him time and time again that she was perfectly happy. She wanted to try and conceive and being in a stressful command wasn’t suitable under the circumstances. And besides, she had told him after one of their intense physical unions, she would hate to be in San Diego and him in London and miss all the great sex. He had laughed and asked if that was all she needed him for? He had gotten a sweet kiss in return, and her words; “I need you for everything.”
“That was a great way to start the day,” she said as they calmed down after their morning activity.
“I’ll never get enough,” he said and started kissing down her neck. “Ever.”
She ran her fingers through his hair and let out a loud moan as he kissed down her chest. He was a great lover, so unselfish and passionate. More importantly, he was a great husband. She loved every minute she got to spend with him.

It was past ten when they finally made it down for breakfast. Mattie was already seated by the kitchen table, reading the newspaper and sipping her coffee. “Morning,” she said.
“Good morning,” Harm said as he joined her by the table.
“Morning. When did you get up?” Mac asked.
“Not that long ago. Who’s taking me to physiotherapy today?” Mattie wondered.
“We both are,” Harm said.
Mac joined them by the table after arranging coffee for herself and her husband. “We want to talk to Dr. Snowden about your time off.”
“I can’t wait to go back to the states. Not that I don’t love it here, but it’ll be nice to see my friends again,” she said happily.
“Mom and Frank rented a big vacation house for us, with a pool. They are really looking forward to seeing us,” Harm said.
“Harriet is ecstatic,” Mac said and smiled. “It’ll be great seeing them again, and the kids. I guess the twins have grown.”
“And Grams are really looking forward to seeing us. It’s been too long since I visited the farm,” Harm said longingly. “And she’s really looking forward to seeing you both again.”
Harm had brought Mattie to the farm on weekends while she lived with him in D.C. Mac and his grandma hadn’t met more than a few times over the years, and only once after they became husband and wife.
“It’ll be a hectic week,” Mac said and looked at Mattie. “Are you sure you’re up for it?”
“I’m sure. I emailed my Dad and let him know I’d be in town. He wants to see me,” Mattie said hesitantly.
“I talked to your Dad yesterday, and we agreed to take you to see him if you wanted to. I have to check on Sarah anyway, make sure she’s stored properly, and we’ll drop by your Dad then. If you want to?” Harm said.
“I think I do,” Mattie said.
“We better have breakfast and get going. I’m not completely done packing,” Mac said.
“I have to stop by the office after your therapy session, make sure Commander Richard’s has it all under control while I’m on leave. I’m sure Petty Officer Larsen will be on top of things,” Harm said with badly hidden worry.
“You have to learn to trust your people, Harm. You can’t do everything yourself,” Mac said with warning.
“Yes, ma’am,” Harm said and flashed her a big smile. “I’m on vacation.”
“Good,” she said and smiled back.
Mattie laughed quietly.
“What?” Harm asked.
“It’s just something Hanna said,” Mattie shrugged. “Nothing.”
Harm raised his eyes. “What did my Petty Officer say?”
“Just that she would be surprised if you could relax while on vacation,” Mattie said.
“I can relax,” Harm argued and looked between both his girls. “I can.”
Mac shook her head in amusement. “Sure you can.”
“Okay, enough with the teasing,” he said and rose. “Who wants pancakes?”
“I do,” both Mattie and Mac said in unison.
Harm shook his head in defeat. “I feel really ganged up on.”
Both Mattie and Mac laughed.

The week flew by in a hurry. They had spent time with Bud and Harriet and the kids, visited Grams, seen Mattie’s father and spent time with Trish and Frank. Mac really felt welcome into the family. On their last night there Trish arranged a fabulous dinner for the family. They were all to leave the next day, Trish and Frank back to San Diego, and Harm, Mac and Mattie back to London.
“This is great Trish,” Mac said when dessert arrived. “You really shouldn’t have gone to all this trouble.”
“No trouble at all,” Trish reassured. “It’s not often I get to spoil my son and his family.”
“You’re welcome to visit us any time,” Harm assured her.
“And we will,” Trish said and smiled. “I forgot to ask you Mac, what is your plan now? You must be bored now that you’re not in uniform anymore?”
“I’ll be teaching a class at the university this fall. It’s only two days a week, but I’m looking forward to that. I haven’t been eager to rush into anything, it’s nice to have the time to get to know Mattie better. We’re exploring London together.”
“Mac is the born explorer,” Mattie smiled. “She found this amazing little bookstore where we go all the time. They have all these great old books.”
“I love that place. And the cheese cake at the café next door,” Mac added.
“Sounds like you guys have a lot of fun,” Trish said.
“Absolutely,” Mattie said happily. Mattie was getting used to having a mother figure in her life. She looked up to Mac, and was so happy that Harm and her finally had tied the knot.
“We also work hard with Mattie’s recovery. Mattie have been doing great,” Mac continued.
“Absolutely,” Harm agreed.
“Well I do have the best support system a girl can have,” Mattie said and hesitated. “It’s not all newlyweds who would take on a burden like that.”
“It’s no burden, Mattie. We’re family, and that’s what families do for each other,” Mac said and took Harm’s hand.
“Mac’s right,” Harm said lovingly. “We’re all in this together.”
“And we are here too. Whatever you need Mattie,” Frank said.
“Thank you,” Mattie said sincerely.
They finished dinner, then Mac insisted on helping Trish clean up. The week had truly been amazing, Trish and Frank seemed so happy to have them there with them.
“This sure is nice,” Trish said as they sat by the counter enjoying coffee. “My son seems so happy. For the first time in his life, I think he really is. It’s been hard to watch how he never let anyone completely into his life. Losing his father so young really scarred him.”
“It did,” Mac agreed.
“I’m glad he found out what happened to his father. It was important to him,” Trish continued.
“Yeah, he needed that,” Mac said as she sipped her coffee. “He’s such a good man. You’ve done a great job raising him.”
“Thank you. It wasn’t easy. We’ve had our share of mother/son battles,” Trish laughed softly. “Introducing Frank was not easy; I can tell you that.”
“He didn’t like a new man in your life?” Mac said and smiled as she pictured Harm as a child.
“Not at all. I think he was disappointed in me for moving on,” Trish said thoughtfully. “I’m not sure that he has ever truly forgiven me.”
“He did,” Mac assured her.
“I hope so,” Trish said.
“I think that finding out that his father moved on too might have helped him. He was so worried about telling you,” Mac said.
“I know he was. I was never angry about that. I was just relieved that we found out what happened,” Trish said and smiled. “That was the worst part, not knowing.”
“I don’t know how I would react if I was in a situation like that. Losing someone is hard enough, but not knowing what happened that’s even worse,” Mac said thoughtfully.
“It does something to a person. Eventually I couldn’t stop living, Frank was at the right place at the wrong time, but he was everything I had ever wanted. It wasn’t planned to be a military wife, I always had ambitions of my own. My father raised me like that. He was so disappointed when I brought a military man home,” Trish remembered. “But I was in love. I guess when I learned that Harmon was MIA I went straight into survival mode. How to raise Harm by myself, how to provide for us. It wasn’t easy. Frank and I were just friends at first, he helped me realize that I could follow my dream of having a gallery. Between his support and my father’s money I made my dream come through. I always loved art, and I studied it in college. Running my own business gave me the strength I needed.”
“We all have to find what give us the strength and help us through the bad times. For me it has been putting on my uniform every day,” Mac admitted.
“And now?” Trish asked.
Mac smiled. “Your son gives me strength. I could have stayed in the service; he would have totally supported that. But I’ve always wanted a family, and it might not be easy for us, but I’d like to try to have a baby. Being in a stressful command just wasn’t as appealing as having a family. I have endometriosis,” she admitted.
“Oh, I’m so sorry,” Trish said.
“Thank you. I found out about a year ago. I told Harm right away, and he was there for me. I pushed him away, until we got our new orders and I faced the fact that we’d be so far apart. I know he wants kids and I just hope we can find a way to have a baby together.”
“I hope so too,” Trish said. “But if you don’t you’re still going to be okay. Frank can’t have children, and I know he has felt bad about that, but it didn’t matter to me. I just wanted him. And I know that’s how my son feels about you.”
“Thank you, Trish. I really appreciate you telling me this,” Mac said sincerely.
“And I appreciate you telling me about your condition,” Trish said and smiled. “I’m so glad Harm finally came to his senses and married you.”
“Me too,” Mac said, and they both laughed.
“What’s so funny?”
They both sobered up and focused on Harm. “Nothing,” Mac said sweetly.
He didn’t believe her, but decided to let them have their secrets. “Mattie just turned in, she was pretty tired. I was going to go for a walk. Care to join me?”
Mac stood. “That sounds good. Thank you so much for dinner Trish, and for this week.”
“I’m the one who is thankful. It’s not often I get to spoil my son,” Trish said and gave her son a teasing look.
“It’s not good parenting to spoil your children. Or so I’ve heard,” Harm said as he took Mac’s hand.
“You two have a nice walk,” Trish said as she walked past them. “I have a book to finish.”
Mac turned to her husband and kissed him sweetly. “Let’s go.”
Harm smiled warmly, but held her close, not ready to let go just yet. “Soon,” he said and kissed her again, before hugging her close. “This is nice.”
“It is nice,” she mumbled into his shoulder.
“I’m going to get better at taking time off. It’s beginning to appeal to me.”
Mac lifted her head to look at him. “I’m beginning to see that there’s more to life than work,” she agreed.
“A lot more. And I’ve been thinking about what’s next for us,” he said thoughtfully. “We should make an appointment with a specialist, to see what our options are in terms of conceiving. I know it’s important to you.”
“Is it important to you?” she wondered.
“Of course, I want a baby with you. But if we can’t, this is enough for me. I think adoption is an alternative though, but I know how much it would mean for you to carry a child, and I want to do what I can to fulfill your dream.”
“I really love you,” she said and kissed him deeply.
“I love you too,” he said once the kiss ended.

Harm and Mac's house, London
September 2005

Harm whistled as he stepped out of the shower. He was in a great mood after an amazing weekend. He had taken Friday off and taken Mac away for a romantic weekend alone in Oxford. They had talked about exploring England while he was stationed there, and Oxford seemed like a good start. Mac hadn’t been feeling well for most of their trip, but that hadn’t put a hamper in their stay. She had taken naps in-between, and reassured him every time he worried that she was just tired because she’d been working so hard preparing for the semester to start, and she hadn’t been sleeping very well because she had been nervous about lecturing.
He smiled when she walked into the bathroom. “You look a little pale,” he noticed.
“I’m really nervous,” she admitted.
“Come on, you’ve lectured before,” he smiled reassuringly. “You’ll be great. The girls will want to be you, the boys will want to... well, you know.”
She rolled her eyes. “Harm…” she warned.
He laughed. “Hey, if I had a teacher looking like you in law school, I’d be paying more attention.”
She laughed and leaned in and kissed him. “Really?”
He wrapped his arms around her. “Oh yeah,” he said and started kissing down her neck.
She lost herself in his touch until she remembered that they didn’t have time for this. “We’ll be late,” she pushed him away.
“Fine,” he reluctantly finished drying. “When was our appointment tomorrow?”
“Ah, 0930,” she said as she dropped her robe and stepped into the shower. “Is it okay for you to take the morning off?”
“Absolutely. This is important,” he said and stopped to study how her shampoo ran down her shoulders, between her breasts. “This is very distracting.”
She smiled and pulled the curtain closed. “Does this help?”
“It helps, but it’s not very nice of you,” he complained and smiled when he heard her laughter.

Three days later Harm woke up alone in bed. He had been dreaming and he woke up with a bang, looking around disoriented. He took a deep breath and looked at the watch on his bedside table. 0322. Where was his wife?
He found her downstairs on the couch, a law book open in front of her, scribbling notes on a pad.
She looked up and smiled. “Sorry, couldn’t sleep.”
He sat down on the couch. “Preparing next week’s lectures?”
“Yeah,” she put the pen down and reached for his hand. “Why are you up?”
“I had a weird dream, then I noticed that you were gone so I came looking,” he pulled her close. “Insomnia?”
She relaxed into his arms. “Nah, I haven’t really had any insomnia since I started sharing a bed with you.”
“Good to hear,” he kissed her softly. “Is something bothering you?”
“Nope, but I took a nap earlier today, and now I feel rested,” she said and smiled.
He put a hand on her still flat belly. “You need to take care of yourself now that you have junior growing in here.”
“I’m taking care,” she put a hand on top of his. “It’s unbelievable that I’m pregnant. It’s finally starting to sink in.”
“Yeah, I literally had to lift my jaw off the floor when the Doctor said that you were already pregnant,” he said and laughed softly. “You know, I have excellent aim.”
She rolled her eyes and kissed him deeply. “Let’s go to bed. You need your beauty sleep, or you’ll fall asleep during staff call tomorrow morning.” She stood and tugged his hand. “Come on, sailor.”
He stood and followed her upstairs. They snuggled into bed and he kissed her softly. “Good night, beautiful.”
“Good night.”

Harm had to admit that he did love his new responsibility. He had been having doubts about whether he’d be a good leader. Not that he didn’t get along with people, he usually did, but he had always been hard to work with because he liked to take matters into his own hands, went out on a limb without consulting anyone, and it had worked out because he had usually solved the cases he worked on. In the past Mac had been the only one to put up with him, his other partner’s had requested other assignments after a short while working with him.
To his surprise leading others came naturally to him. After having Mac remind him that he had to trust his people, he had relaxed and did just that. He’d come up with suggestions, and lead them in the right directions, but he let them do the hard work themselves. The bureaucratic parts of what he did had always been his enemy, he’d done it because he had to, but never liked it. Now he had decided that it was time to grow up. He had a wife and a family to support, and he’d feel like a failure if he didn’t do a good job as Force Judge Advocate, so he did attack the bureaucratic parts the same way he’d done investigations in the past, with great energy and will to get the job done. Harmon Rabb Junior was growing up.
“Hi,”
He looked up and saw his wife standing in the doorway to his office with a sweet smile on her face. “Mac?” he stood to greet her.
“I thought I’d take you to lunch,” she said and kissed him sweetly.
“Are you done feeling nauseous?” he asked with worry.
“I am. After 1000 I start to feel human again. The first part of my lecture today I had to really concentrate to get through, but past 1000 and I was feeling perfectly fine again. It’s weird,” she said and smiled. “So, time for lunch?”
“For you, I always have time,” he said and kissed her again. “By the way, you look snappy in that suit. Very Proffessory,” he said and looked her up and down.
“Thank you. But I’m not sure that’s even a word,” she pointed out.” In America I would actually be called a Professor, but in England that’s a much higher title, so here I’m just a Reader or Senior Lecturer.”
“Thank you for the lecture,” he said and made a movement to the door. “Shall we?”
“Absolutely,” she said and took his hand.
“I’m going to lunch, Petty Officer,” Harm said as he past his yeoman.
“Enjoy,” Petty Officer Larsen said.
They left the historic building and found a restaurant nearby, one that Harm had gotten recommended from several people. After they had ordered Harm took Mac’s hand in his.
“So, what do I owe this surprising visit?”
She smiled. “I missed you, and I wanted to spend time with you.”
“Good to hear,” he leaned in and kissed her. “How was your day?”
“The lecture went great, despite my nausea,” she said with a smirk. “I really enjoy it, actually.”
“You sound surprised,” he said.
“No, not surprised, but I haven’t really done this sort of thing before. Well, except from that time at the Naval Academy, and a few times during the annual JAG Conference. But this is different, being every week and in a different setting. And I have to assign an obligatory assignment for the semester, and prepare a final exam. It’s challenging, but enjoyable.”
“I’m really happy that you are happy. I have been a little worried that when you’d get over the initial getting together lovey dovey thing and realize that this old sailor isn’t all that great, you’d regret leaving the Marines.”
Mac laughed. “Not going to happen, because you are great, and the lovey dovey thing is kinda getting addictive,” she kissed him again.
“I’m glad you say that, because now that we’ve made good on our baby-deal you’re stuck with me,” he warned.
“I thought when we said I do, we agreed to be stuck with each other,” she ran her hand through his short hair.
“We did, and I plan to make sure we make good on the promise,” he stated.

Harm and Mac’s house, London
September 2005

Mac walked out of the bathroom, her eyes locked on the bed as she hurried towards it. She slumped down on it and crawled into a fetal position. She was planning on being there like that for another hour when she again would start to feel human again.
She felt a hand on her back, and soon a kiss on her forehead. “I wish I could change places with you.”
“Like that could ever work,” she said with a sigh. “The Force Judge Advocate in bed half the day, waiting to feel human again.”
He shook his head in amusement. “I was trying to be romantic.”
“I’m sorry,” she mumbled.
He moved his hand up and down her back. “You should talk to your Doctor; you weigh less now than before I knocked you up.”
“I did, and she assures me that once I’m over the first trimester I’ll be as big as a house,” she said weakly as the tears ran down her cheek. “And just like that the waterworks starts.”
“Are you okay, Mac?” Harm asked with great concern.
“It feels like someone took over my body and made me someone I’m not,” she said and turned to him as she wiped her eyes.
Harm smiled and pulled her close. “Is the big bad Marine crying,” he teased.
“I hate you,” she said and hugged him close.
“No you don’t, you love me. And you’re pretty happy that I hit my target,” he said sweetly.
“You kind of hit my target,” she mumbled.
This made him laugh out loud. He really loved this woman. Without even trying they had made a baby. They had made the impossible possible.
“I wish I could stay here with you, but I have to get Mattie to school, and get some work done,” he said and pulled away from her reluctantly.
“I’ll be fine,” she said and watched him get out of bed.
“Take care of yourself,” he said and headed for the bathroom to take a shower.

Later that night he found Mac in the kitchen making dinner.
“Sorry I’m late,” he walked over and wrapped her in an embrace. “Feeling better?”
“Yeah,” she hugged him close. “I missed you today.”
“I missed you too,” he said and kissed her softly. “Where’s Mattie?”
“She met a girl when we were out sightseeing earlier, and I let her have dinner at their place tonight,” Mac smiled when she saw Harm’s worried face. “I talked to the girl’s mother, they are Americans. Her husband is working at the U.S Embassy, with Public Affairs. They are our age. They have three children; Jane is the same age as Mattie, they go to school together. I figured it couldn’t hurt that she gets to know people her own age.”
Harm nodded. “Sounds like a great idea. She hasn’t really found her place at school yet.”
“Jane seems like a really nice girl, but her mother Kelly said that she’s shy and don’t get to know people very easily, so when she saw that Jane and Mattie hit it off she was very happy,” Mac said as she turned off the stove. “Kelly invited us to dinner on Saturday, I accepted.”
“Okay,” Harm reached for her again and pulled her close.
“We have the house to ourselves for a few hours,” Mac said as she started nibbling on his neck.
Harm moved a little away from her. “Let’s have dinner.”
Mac hesitated. “Harm, why are you like this? We haven’t made love in weeks.”
“I don’t want to hurt the baby,” he said.
“The Doctor said that sex is okay. You won’t hurt the baby, Harm,” Mac took his hand.
“I don’t know,” Harm said hesitantly.
“So you’re going to not make love to your wife for nine months?” she wondered. “And then after the birth you’ll have to wait at least six weeks.”
“I’m just not so sure. You’re not feeling well, and isn’t it better to wait until after the first trimester before we engage in any physical activity?” he said and pulled her close.
“You really want to wait?” she asked.
“No, but it’s not about what I want, it’s about what’s best for you and the baby,” he said stubbornly.
“I want you,” she said and put her face close to his. “You can be gentle. We’ll take it slow,” she kissed him lightly. “I can call my Doctor and have her tell you again that it’s okay. I just want to be with my husband.”
Harm pulled her in for a heated kiss. “God you’re beautiful,” he said between kisses.

Later Harm pulled Mac close after their union. “I love you,” he said and kissed her.
“You have no idea,” Mac said breathlessly between kisses.
“I do have an idea,” he said as he ran his hand down her body. “God you’re so beautiful.”
“I’ll be big as a house soon,” Mac teased.
“You’re going to be beautiful when it starts to show,” he reassured and kissed her softly. “We should tell Mattie soon.”
“I know. I just needed some time to get used to the idea before we told anyone,” Mac said and hesitated. “And there’s always a risk of miscarriage…”
“Hey, nothing is going to happen,” he said and pulled her close. “This is faith. It was meant to be all along.”
“You really believe that?” Mac asked.
“They gave you less than four percent chance of conceiving, Mac. And we beat the odds, on our own without any help. It’s faith,” he said again.
She put both her hands on his face and looked into his eyes. “I love you.”
“I love you too,” he said and smiled before kissing her deeply.

The next morning Mac was surprised when she found her husband in the kitchen when she finally managed to get out of bed past ten. Morning sickness was really taking its toll on her, but finally she’d found a way to start the day without too much trouble. She had salty crackers by the bed which she carefully ate while she was still in bed, then she’d sleep for another hour and then she could get out of bed without throwing up. Her breakfast consisted of toast, nothing else until lunchtime when she could finally manage a real meal.
“What are you doing home?” she asked and kissed him.
“I decided to take the morning off. I took Mattie to school, then I had a long breakfast while I answered emails and made a few calls. I made you toast,” he said and motioned for a plate on the table.
“That’s so sweet,” she said and smiled warmly as she joined him by the table. “Did Mattie get to school okay?”
“Yeah, no problem. She’s really doing great,” he said proudly. “She says that her hand is almost back to normal.”
“Yeah, she told me too. And Doctor Snowden is very pleased,” Mac said as she took a bite of the toast.
“Well, I better get going. I just wanted to make sure that you were okay,” he started to stand. “After our physical activity I mean.”
Mac smiled. “Harm, we were super careful.” She reached for his hand and pulled on it until he bent down. “Don’t worry so much.”
He kissed her. “Sorry, but that won’t happen. I always worry.”
Mac leaned in and kissed him softly. “I love you.”
“I love you too,” he said, kissed her again, then reluctantly left her.

That night during dinner Harm told Mattie that Mac and he had something to tell her. Mattie looked between their happy faces before she more or less yelled. “I knew it! You’re pregnant!”
Mac was surprised. “How did you know?”
“You went from being a total morning person to not being a morning person,” Mattie said.
“What do you think?” Harm asked.
“I think it’s great,” Mattie said happily. “I’ve always wanted a brother or sister.”
Mac smiled. “I’m due at the end of May.”
“It’s so cool. Congratulations,” Mattie said.
“Thank you,” Mac said and took Harm’s hand.
Harm smiled. “Just don’t tell anyone about it yet. We want to wait.”
“I won’t tell,” Mattie promised. “And I’ll be super helpful. I can babysit.”
They talked some more about the new addition to the family, before Mattie excused herself to do homework. Harm offered to clean the kitchen while Mac looked over her notes for tomorrows lecture at the University. Harm found her in their home office after he had finished in the kitchen. He sat down by his desk and started his computer. He tried to focus on his email corresponding, but got distracted by Mac’s concentrated look. She was beautiful even when she didn’t make an effort.
“What?” she asked.
He smiled. “You’re beautiful.”
She smiled. “Thanks.”
He rolled his chair over to her desk and leaned in and kissed her. “I like that I can kiss you whenever I want to.”
“I like that too,” she said and let her fingers trace his face. “We’ve come a long way you and me.”
“The best parts are in front of us,” he said and nuzzled her nose with his. “I love you.”
“I love you too,” she said.
