0900 hours 28 May 2001
Bethesda Hospital

It was two days after Harm had crashed his tomcat into the Atlantic. He had spent two days on board the Patrick Henry recovering from hypothermia. He also had a few bruises and scrapes along with twisting his knee and spraining his ankle. When he first arrived at Bethesda he had trouble remembering some things before the crash. He had asked the doctors about it and they had assured him his memory would come back in time.

As Harm laid in his bed he started thinking about what he had been coming back for. He was supposed to be at Mac’s wedding to Bugme. He really didn’t know why Mac had wanted him there. Sure he was her best friend. Sure he should be happy for her if marrying Bugme made her happy, but if she hadn’t known before her engagement party, she knew now that he loved her. That he wanted her in his life and never wanted to lose her. After all hadn’t he told her before he left that if she needed him to be at her wedding, then maybe she should reconsider who she was marrying.

Then all of a sudden a plan came to his mind. He would play his temporary memory loss to his advantage. As he reached over for a drink of water everything came together. Now all he had to do was wait for all the participants to arrived.

1030 hours

A short while later his first visitor showed up. He was disappointed. He had hope it would be Mac. He loved her so much. He needed to see her to talk to her, but instead it was Renee. He thought that maybe Mac was being considerate to Renee. After all she was his girlfriend, she should be the first to visit. Anyway it really didn’t matter. In fact it would probably make his plan that much more easier to implement. The first thing he really needed to do was get rid of Renee.

“Hello honey, how are you doing?” asked Renee cautiously. “Who are you?” asked Harm. “I’m your girlfriend Harm. We have been together for a year and a half.” replied Renee. “Sorry I don’t remember you. Though you do look familiar. How did we meet?” asked Harm. Renee was quite disappointed. Harm didn’t remember her. Guess that means no adult entertainment tonight she thought. “We met when I produced a film clip advertising the Navy. You were the star of the film.” replied Renee. “Oh yeah, I remember something about that. Worse couple of weeks of my life. There was this woman who drove me crazy. A real pain in the ass. I was glad when she left.” smile Harm in relief.

Renee became upset when she heard Harm diatribe about her. She began to cry and ran from the room. That went rather well thought Harm. It didn’t take much effort at all. He couldn’t wait to see Mac.

A half hour later Renee came back followed by the JAG crew. When Harm saw her all he could say was “You again?” Again Renee was hurt and sulked back away from him. Then Harm saw his beloved Mac. “Mac! Come here.” shouted Harm happily as he held out his arms for her. Mac came over to say hello and give him a hug, but instead she was taken by surprise when he pulled her to him. She was almost laying on top of him in his arms. “I’ve missed you Sarah.” as Harm kissed her passionately. “I’m sorry about being late for the wedding. I thought I could make it back in plenty of time. I love you so very much. We still can get married, but I think we will have to wait until I’m out of the hospital.” smiled Harm before giving her another kiss.

Mac was in a state of shock. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing from Harm. She had heard that he had suffer some memory loss, but where was this coming from. What happen to him after he crashed? But before she could answer Harm, he was talking again. “Mac, why is she here?” asked Harm pointing to Renee. “You know I can’t stand her after what she did to Bud and the Admiral.” Harm gave her another kiss before she could speak. “Harm, what’s gotten into you?” asked a perplexed Mac. She didn’t understand what was going on, but she was beginning to feel very good about being held in Harm’s arms. And the kisses, well they were fantastic. She had never been kiss so passionately before. There was so much love in them unlike Mic’s which were sloppy and clumsy. Mic didn’t know how to really kiss a woman to make her happy. He was only interested in enjoying himself when he kiss.

“What? Why shouldn’t I hold and kissed the woman I love and was going to marry this weekend.” replied Harm as he gave her another kiss. Mac’s senses now were becoming overwhelmed. She was beginning to not know why she was here anymore. She was becoming intoxicated in Harm’s show of love. Mean while Renee was crying in the background away from everyone. Mic was becoming outrage as Harm continued to kiss Mac, his beloved. It was only the Admiral’s strong hand on his arm that was holding him back.

“Sir, I need to get my fiancee.” whined Mic. “The Colonel knows how to take care of herself. I’m sure if she feels the need to, she can get away from the Commander anytime she wants. Besides I think she’s enjoying herself.” smiled the Admiral smugly. “But Sir, she’s my fiancee. She should be with me.” whined Mic further. “The Colonel belongs to no one but herself. She’ll decide where she wants to be. Do I make myself clear?” ordered the Admiral. There wasn’t anything Mic could do. He went over and tried to console Renee.

The Admiral just shook his head in amusement. He couldn’t believe the nerve of the Commander to take advantage of the situation. He was doing this all under the noses of Renee and Mic. He would have to congratulate him later. Meanwhile Harriet was looking at the development between Harm and Mac with amusement and contentment. Finally they were together. She was so happy. Bud was just standing there in shock. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. Wasn’t the Colonel suppose to be marrying Mr. Brumby. Why was she making out with the Commander in his hospital bed. Chloe was becoming very excited. She was so excited that she finally went over to them and gave them both a hug. “I’m so happy for you guys. I love you both so much. I can’t wait till you get married.” exclaimed Chloe excitedly.

Harm almost laughed but didn’t. He loved Chloe like a daughter. She was so special and a very important person in Mac’s life. “Thank you Chloe. I love you too.” smile Harm. “Chloe! You know what I’ve said about that before.” replied Mac with an embarrass smile. “But I told you before Harm was in love with you. I just knew it. You knew it too. Besides you love him too.” continued Chloe on her mission. She didn’t want Mac to marry Mic. “Chloe, we’re going to have to have another talk about keeping secrets.” teased Mac.

An hour later everyone had left Harm’s room except Mac. Harm stilled had his arms wrapped tightly around her waist. They had both fallen asleep, but not before Harm had gotten Mac to agree to marry him and not Bugme.

The End
