The plane slowly taxied to the gate. A few minutes later the Fasten Seatbelt sign went off. Harm and Mac unbuckled their seatbelts and stood up. Harm reached into the overhead compartment for their carry-on luggage. They made their way off the plane and through the air walk they emerged into the airport. "Harm! Mac!" They heard a shout and turned to the right to see Trish, Frank, and Chloe standing near the exit. Harm and Mac made their way over to them and put their bags down. Chloe launched herself into Mac's arms and hugged her tightly. Mac returned the hug and kissed the top of the 15-year olds head. Chloe finally let go and turned to Harm hugging him just as tightly. After all greetings were exchanged they went down to the baggage claim.
All five people and all the luggage was now piled into Harm's SUV and they were en route to Harm's apartment at Union Station. Harm pulled into his parking space and they all hopped out and grabbed the luggage. As they were making their way up to his apartment Trish, Frank, and Chloe were exchanging looks. Harm and Mac were oblivious until they unlocked and opened the door.
Harm pushed open the door and Harm and Mac's jaws just about dropped through the floor. "Oh my god!!" Harm and Mac said when their jaws had picked themselves up and off the floor. "It looks like a tornado hit this place, and the floor was forgotten about," Mac exclaimed. "I wonder if Mac's desk moved in here or hell maybe the whole of JAG ops moved in!" Harm said after scanning the room. Mac after taking in all of the boxes and bags, "I sincerely hope there is still an apartment under all this!"
"You think this is bad?" Harm and Mac turned to Trish who then continued, "This is only half of it." Harm and Mac gave her incredulous looks, "Half?" "Yeah, some is at Mac's apartment and more is stored in Harm's garage," Frank said. Harm and Mac exchanged glances and Frank and Trish decided to let them get some rest. They said their good-byes and took their leave.

Harm and Mac entered the extremely cluttered apartment with their arms full of groceries. They set them on the kitchen counters and started to unload. The kitchen was only partly cluttered by boxes and bags, the bedroom and bathroom were the only two that were left uncluttered. Mac set the bags on the counter and reached into the first bag and pulled out a few items and started to put them away. As she was passing Harm he planted a quick kiss on her lips. Mac smiled as she put something up into a cabinet. After a few minutes of putting things away, Mac was getting warm so she went over to the air condition units and kicked them up higher. "Hot?" Harm asked raising an eyebrow. Mac nodded.
Mac grabbed a few things out of the next bag and went to the fridge and opened the door and began putting the items away. Harm grabbed several items for the freezer; he stood over Mac and began putting the items away. Mac knowing Harm was behind her slowly stood up and turned to face him. Harm shut the freezer down and looked down at his wife. He loved being able to say that. He bent his head and lowered his lips to hers. His lips moved slowly over hers as he continued to kiss her pressing her back into the fridge. Finally, they broke the kiss, gasping for air. Harm smiled sexily down at her, "Still hot?" Mac gave him a look and gave him a gentle push out of the way.
After the groceries had been put away, Mac went into the bedroom to change while Harm started to make something for dinner. She emerged from behind the glass blocks in white drawstring shorts with navy contrast stitching, and a white long sleeve low v-neck with navy contrast stitching on it. Harm smiled as she walked past him and into the "disaster". She picked up the first box she came to and set it in the middle of the floor and plopped herself onto the floor with it. The radio was playing in the background and Harm was rummaging through the refrigerator.
Mac opened the box and started looking through it. Then she pushed that box out of the way and opened the next box. She noticed that there were quite a few of the same thing. Well that might help she thought. We could return the doubles and get the other things we need. But there was also another problem. "Hey Harm," she called. "Yeah," Harm called back as he stirred a pot on the stove. "We are not going to have enough room for all of this."
Harm entered the room and leaned against desk. "I kind of figured that, so I was thinking maybe we should start house hunting." Mac looked up at him her eyes wide, "House hunting?" Harm nodded. "Cane we afford a house Harm?" "I think we can do it." Mac smiled and stood up, stopping for a second so the room would turn right side up again. Harm walked over to her and looked at her worriedly, "Are you okay?" Mac looked up at him and smiled, "Yeah, fine. Just got up a little to fast I guess." Harm gave her a quizzical look and she gave him a reassuring smile.
"So how does house hunting on Monday sound to you?" "Sounds good," Mac smiled and kissed him lightly on the lips. After dinner they decided to look through all the boxes and bags and make two separate piles one of the stuff they wanted and one of stuff they didn't like or already had. By 10:00 the room looked a little less cluttered but not much.
Mac was leaning against the couch as Harm hoisted the last box to the other side of the room. Harm looked over at Mac he raised an eyebrow and said, "So what do you think of going to bed and remembering what being newly weds is all about." Mac laughed and held her hands out as Harm walked toward her. He grasped her hands and lifted her to her feet easily. Mac giggled as he lifted her into his arms and carried her to the bedroom.

The ringing of the phone jolted Mac out of sleep. She nudged Harm since he was closer to the phone, "Harm sweetie." "Five more minutes, baby," he mumbled into his pillow. Mac laughed and reached over him to answer the ringing phone. "Hello." "Good morning Mac," a strong Russian accent greeted her. "I didn't wake you did I?" "No, Sergei, it's fine. What can I do for you?"
"Well, Trish called a few minutes ago, and asked me to call you to see if you guys would like some help with all of your I believe she called it tornado disaster." Mac laughed, "We would love some help Sergei. In fact why don't you call Trish and Frank back and tell them to bring the boxes they have over and we'll sort through those along with the ones in the garage and we'll see what we can do from there." "Alright, we'll bring coffee." "Alright see you soon. Bye."
Mac hung up the phone and then turned to wake up her husband. She smiled; she loved being able to say that. She gently kissed his cheek until his eyes opened. "Good morning sleepy head," she teased. She kissed his cheek again and said, "Your mom, Frank, Sergei, Allison, Wesley, and Chloe are coming to help us out with out boxes so we need to get up." "I'm up," Harm mumbled sleepily. Mac slipped from the bed and yanked the covers off her husband, who yelped at the sudden blast of cold air-conditioned air hit his body. Mac smiled satisfied, "Now your up." She walked into the bathroom and turned on the water.
After her shower she slipped into a pair of cut off shorts and a white tank top. The white tank top accented her perfectly tanned skin and Harm grinned as she put on a pair of sneakers. Harm quickly put on a navy short sleeve shirt and khaki shorts.
A few minutes later there was a knock on the door, "Come on in." Mac hollered as she tried making her way to the door. She stumbled over several boxes and decided to move a few. She shoved them to the side as the door opened and Sergei, Allison, Wesley, Chloe, Trish, and Frank entered the apartment.
Wes let out a low whistle, "Wow, I didn't believe them when they said this was scary." Mac and Harm laughed. Sergei and Frank set the coffee and pastry bags on the counter. After a quick breakfast they decided to go check out what the damage was to the garage.
Harm unlocked and opened the doors and said, "Well it's better than what I expected." Mac stepped into the room sighed, "Let's get started. Over the next hour they went through the boxes in the garage and the ones that were brought from Mac's apartment. Sergei and Harm made several trips back up to his apartment to retrieve the other boxes. By the end of a few hours they had everything sorted. Harm, Wes, and Sergei loaded the doubles into the cars. Harm, Mac, Sergei, and Allison drove the cars down to the mall to exchange the doubles for other things.
While they were gone Trish and Frank made several calls with the help from Chloe and Wes. Harm and Mac had no idea what other surprise awaited them…a very big surprise…and not just one…
