Great storyline - I'm glad you're updating it again.

Another great chapter, but Bud retelling all their relationship stuff with Brumby et al makes me a little mad. Not at Bud, nor at this story, but at JAG. What the (bleep) were the (bleep)ing writers thinking? And DPB for Boomerang!

That aside, this was a great chapter and I hope there's more coming soon :)

"You know, you would think that we were just the entertainment at JAG from the way you guys talk." Mac says, laughing along with her new friend. "Oh, you two were the entertainment at JAG. Are you kidding me? I think that even the Admiral was waiting for you guys to either kill each other or rip your clothes of in the middle of the bullpen." "He was NOT!" Harm says with wide eyes, which makes Mac laugh even more. "I think that the Admiral had a soft spot for the two of you. I bet that he knew that this was going to happen long before we ever did. Didn't he say something before that first case… when you guys met in the Rose Garden and you shook hands… shoot… what did he say?" Bud asks, trying to recollect the memory. "Don't get too close, you'll be working together." Harm and Mac say at the same time. "You didn't listen to a single word he said that day. I think by a few weeks later, you guys were already on the way to what you are now." Bud says with a grin." - AW!

I had almost forgotten this story...but I love this latest chapter, especially how the girls went shopping for a wedding dress, and the boys went to play golf. And Bud's slip about Brumby...h mm...the phrase "Loose lips sink (relation)ships" (Okay, I edited it...a little) comes to mind. Wonderfully sums up Harm and Mac's relationship at this point in time.

Looking forward to Chapter 19! :)

Love this chapter, Harm and Mac have great pillow talk! Looking forward to the next developments.

Love this chapter so much. So sweet to see Harm opening up about his insecurities and Mac being supportive and encouraging. They can really be there for each other openly and be comfortable as a unit now, and it's great.

Another GREAT session... it was a great idea on your part to have them talk about their fears, and I think you totally nailed the characters in terms of what they fear and how they see each other. Amazing job.

Loving this chapter... new beginnings, and they are getting a chance to just be together and fully realize what their new life together will mean, as a partnership and a couple... I'm so in love with this story. also love the way you write their banter, it flows easily and beautifully and I can just see them having those conversations. Great job.

So great to see Mac bonding with another woman, once that she has a lot in common with. I would have loved seeing more of that on the show, so I love reading it in fanfic.

Great start for them, and very realistic. Any couple that's been through all the crazy ups and downs they have will need to really deal with the hard issues in order to move forward.

Perfect chapter... love how she opened up to him and they talked it through. They've come a long way, and I love that they don't have to be hampered by that history, they can use it to help them heal and move forward.

Oh no, poor Mac... I can see why she went down this path, especially with Harm gone and no support. And the way Harm finds out... so sad. It's also very realistic (though sad) that she feels guilty, but I hope she starts to heal soon. Can't wait to see what comes next... I usually don't like angst but when it's well written, like this story, it's 'real' and very compelling and engrossing.

Oh no, poor Mac.. ever the marine trying to be strong, to hold it all in... you wrote this chapter really well.

Totally love their conversation in this chapter, so natural, so 'them'!

*sigh* great chapter - beautiful, romantic... love the idea of them planning their family and future together.
