Chapter six: Fitting back in
That afternoon Harm had promised to visit the Roberts. He was actually looking forward to seeing little AJ again. He also was Jimmy's godfather but he didn't know if the boy would recognize him because he was still too young when Harm disappeared.
Harm had lend a car and had gone shopping after lunch. When Harm rang the doorbell he heard an very excited AJ. "Uncle Harm, you're back" He had left the presents in the car for the moment so he didn't drop them when AJ jumped at him. "Yes I am little man, and I won't be going away for long anytime soon." "So you're coming visit us more?" "I will, let me greet your parents now all right" Putting AJ back on the ground he greeted Bud and Harriet and then Jimmy who seemed less sure of him self. Jimmy had seen pictures of Harm and AJ had told him lots but he didn't remember himself obviously since he was still a baby at the time. "Are you Uncle Harm? AJ told me lots about you and has lots of pictures." Harm had to smile at that, AJ had always idolized him. "Yes, I am. And I am looking forward to getting to know you better as well"
They then went to the living room where AJ and Jimmy quickly drew Harm into a game they were playing. He saw that they still had the model train he had given AJ before his return to flight status. And there were also a lot of airplanes and cars in fact it was almost an whole city that was build in the play room. An hour later they heard over the baby monitor that the twins had woken up. Harm hadn't seen them yet but the boys were reluctant to let him go. "Baby's are boring all they do is cry and make a mess." Harm knew what he meant, the first born always had a tendency to feel neglected when a new baby was born because he had his parents for him self before. "But when they grow up you have another playmate someone who will look up to you because you are the big brother." AJ and Jimmy still wouldn't buy into that but Harm had a bargain. "If you stay here and play quietly then I come back later and we can get your presents out of the car, how does that sound?" "you got us presents?" "Lots of them but first I want you to play quietly without me for a while." "Okay" AJ agreed he always liked presents and to have one from his Uncle Harm was always special in his eyes.
Harm found Bud in the living room feeding Michael a bottle. Bud acknowledge him by saying "Harm. Let me introduce you to Michael Jay Roberts." "He is gorgeous Bud, he looks just like you." "You really think that?" "Yes, look at AJ he really looks more like Harriet in features if though he is a boy. Jimmy is more of a mix but little Mickey here looks just like you." "Thank you, sir." "So where is the other heartbreaker?" "upstairs, Harriet is nursing her now, when they wake up at the same time I feed one of them a bottle." "Does Nikki look more like Harriet or you?" "I think she looks more like Harriet sir, Harriet's mother was gushing all over her claiming she looked exactly like her. But maybe that was just because she finally got a granddaughter." "You don't like her very much, do you?" "She is so chatty and bossy it's annoying, she likes you though." Bud said grinning. "Yah, I'm the man Harriet should have married" Harm chuckled. "She really did say that, didn't she?" "Don't take it personally Bud, if she is the only one thinking it what does it matter?" "Have you ever thought about it sir?" "about what?" "dating Harriet?" Harm had to chuckle about that, it sounded strange to even think about it but he needed to give a honest answer. "I can't see i haven't thought about it but we wouldn't have fitted together. And you two were the perfect match."
They talked for a few more minutes until Harriet came down with Nikki. "Harm, this is Nikki Alexa Roberts." "Well look at you little heartbreaker, mommy's little girl." "Sure she is, we have to stick together with all these boys in the house." grinned Harriet. "I think AJ will be a very good big brother and chase all the other boys away." Harm grinned, this caused Bud to laugh too.
"I wonder why the boys are playing so quietly today?" Harriet suddenly noted. "that would be my fault" Harm said "i promised them presents if they played quietly for a while." "that could be the explanation" Bud said "but it won't last very most longer I'm afraid" "you're probably right, I should go get the presents then." Harm walked to the other room and said "who wants to help me empty the trunk of my car?" Of course AJ and Jimmy immediately jumped up knowing what would be in the trunk. There were four bags so AJ and Jimmy each took one and Harm the remaining two. At the sight of the large pile of presents in their living room Bud and Harriet had to blink twice, Harm just smiled at them. "I have a lot of time to make up for and it is not like I don't have the money for it."
AJ and Jimmy were already looking for presents that had there name on it and with an affirmative nod of their parent they tore in to them. Harm picked up a small bag and gave the contents to Bud and Harriet "these are presents for the twins." Harm stayed with the Roberts until after supper and then went back to the admirals home for a quit evening and a good nights sleep. The next day Harm went house hunting, he wanted a nice house in a neighbourhood were Ashley would have the space to play outside.
