Somewhere Out There 

Somewhere out there, beneath the pale moon light
Someone's thinking of me and loving me tonight

It was not the first time Mac had to spend a night without Harm, and it wouldn't be the last time. Her cheek was resting against the window glass and she looked outside into the dark. 

Her thoughts were with Harm. Where was he right at this moment? What was he doing? Was he thinking about her as well? Or had he forgotten that back in Washington DC someone was waiting for him?

He was thinking about her, she was sure about this. And he was loving her, there was no doubt about this. Maybe, right at this moment, he was staring up at the moon like she did, thinking about the one person that mattered more to them than anyting or anyone else in this world.

 

Somewhere out there, someone is saying a prayer
That we'll find one another in that big somewhere out there

 

The moon light feel into little AJ Roberts' nursery. His mother was rocking him softly in his arms, trying to get him back to sleep.

As she passed the window, her eyes fell on the moon watching over them. She stopped and looked down at her baby boy.

Somewhere out there, his godfather was serving on a ship. He had made his dream come true, but in return had destroyed so many other dreams. A lot of people were missing him, most of all his partner. 

She had seen the tears Mac had shed over his announcement to leave. How could he have been so blind not to see how deeply she cared for him, that she was in love with him.

Praying, that soon those two were finally reunited, she turned to the crib in the corner of the room and put her baby son to sleep.

 

And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star

 

Mac placed her palm on the window, still starring outside into the  night. How much she wished that Harm would come back to her, gather her into his strong arms. Hold her close to him, and whisper 'I love you' in her ear.

A smile appeared on Mac's face when a star began to sparkle bright out there. Now she knew that somewhere out there someone had heard her. Maybe it even was Harm, having the same wish.

 

And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we are sleeping underneath the same big sky

 

Harm was out on the fan deck and stood at the railing. His hair was blowing in the wind as he leaned over to look up at the moon. 

Closing his eyes, he could only imagine where his love was, what she was doing. She was probably fast asleep by now, dreaming about him.

For some time, he just stood there and wondered if she knew how much he loved her. Was she thinking about him at all? Was she longing for him as much as he longed for her?

Was she missing his comfort like he missed hers? Was she missing his smile like he missed hers? Was she missing him at all?

When he opened his eyes, the moon was still watching over him - the same moon that was watching over Mac back in Washington DC - and a bright twinkling star was sparkling down at him. 

A smile appeared on Harm's face. Mac was missing him, as terribly  as he missed her. A twinkling star was all he needed to tell him.

 

Somewhere out there if love can see us through
Then we'll be together,
Somewhere out there,
Out where dreams come true
