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.
