A/N Thank you to everyone for all the reviews, I love it when you guys give me your input... Hope everyone had a fun Halloween... anyway enough from me...
Mic was still watching Rabb and Sarah trying to calm down their scared baby son.. Now part of him started to feel guilty for causeing the baby to be scared.He was starting to regret teaming up Commander Krennick, it was about then when he saw the stair well doors open and Commander Krennick storm through.
"What's with all the nose up here? We're trying to do trial prep down stairs!"
Harm turned and looked at Krennick , "Commander calm down, my wife and baby son where trapped in the elevator. "
It was also at the same time that Admiral Morris walked out.
"What's going on out here?"
All 4 officers turned towards the Admiral - Mac spoke up while Harm kept walking trying to calm down little Harm.
"I'm sorry Sir, myself ,Commander Brumby and my baby son where trapped in the elevator between the second floor and this one, Commander Rabb and Gunny Galindez got us out, the sudden jerking of the elevator scared the baby and The Commander is trying to calm him down."
Admiral Morris walked over to Commander Rabb...
"Commander let me try and see if I can calm him down."
"Ok...sir..."
Harm handed over the crying baby to Admiral Morris, The Admiral placed him on his shoulder and began to rub him on his back and talk into his ear.. It wasn't long before he stoped crying and his breathing returned to normal..The Admiral glanced over at the baby and smiled..
"Now...now... your all better aren't you, you just got a little scared, but all is ok now, just be a good boy for your mother and father, oh and when your older don't do like your father did - and fire a gun off in a court room."
The Admrial handed the baby back over to Commander Rabb - The Commander took him in his arms, he looked down at his little face , it was still slightly red from his crying,Mac looked over at him. They where both very great full that Admiral Morris had managed to calm him down. Harm took Mac by the hand and lead her over to one of the benches in the hallway, they both took a seat.
The Admiral walked over to them... " Colonel where is the baby's carrier? Mac looked around - "Ummm... it has to be still inside the elevator, when the elevator stoped and then jerked , that's when he got scared and started crying, I took him out trying to soothe him and calm him down."
"I figured as much, I'll have Gunny Martin go get my grandson's out of my car, and you can use that till we can get yours out."
In the middle of everything, Mic had walked over beside Allison...
"Sicking sight isn't it."Allison said as she rolled eyes - "I thought you said this would work?"
"It bloody well would have if she hadn't brought the damn kid with her - once he started screaming, all her focus was on him."
Allison casually glanced at Brumby - "Then figure out how to get her away from him - and leave Harm to me, I know how to handle him."
Allison walked over to where Harm and Mac where sitting on the bench - "Harm I'm glad that your son wasn't to overly traumatized by what happened - after all it might have been a lot worse, it's a good thing that The Colonel had someone else in there with her."
Harm looked at Allison "Just what do you mean by that?"
"I'm just saying that it was a good that Commander Brumby was in there with her - so she wasn't all alone."
At that remark Mac looked up - "Commander I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself and my son, while I am great full that The Commander just happen to in the elevator with me, he in no way assisted in getting us out - my husband and the Gunny did that."
"Well Harm has always been good with his hands - he knows just how to use them in all the right ways." Allison said as she walked back towards the stair well before Mac could say anymore.
Mac was fuming mad now - "Harm did you hear her?"
"Yes sweetheart, but please calm down - let me handle Krennick, I've dealt with her in the past and I will deal with this time. You don't need to worry."
Mic walked over to them ( acting like he cared ) - "Is the little bugger ok now?"
"Yes he's better now, he was just scared , thank you for asking Mic." Mac looked over at her son - who had fallen asleep in his fathers arms.
"I'm glad that nothing worse happened." Mic started to walk away.
"Brumby" Mic turned around when he heard Harm call his name "Thank you for being in the right place, I'm glad Sarah and the baby weren't alone in there."
Mic nodded and walked away from them.
"Harm I want to go home, I want to spend the rest of the night safe in our home with my two boys."
"You want get any arguement from me, we can leave as soon as Gunny Martin brings is the carrier. Why don't you wait here - I'll run back up and get our stuff and come back down."
"Sounds perfect to me." Harm handed the baby to Mac and headed back upstairs to grab their stuff.Meanwhile Gunny Marin came back and handed Mac Admiral Morris's grandson's carrier - he also told her that they would get hers out as soon as they could, Mac told the Gunny thank you, he asked her if she wanted him to remain with her until The Commander returned - she thanked him and told him that wasn't necessary, that Harm would be back shortly.
Sure enough Harm reappeared in the door way and headed over to give Mac her cover and purse. While he picked up the baby bag - the three of them headed towards the stairwell and out of the building, once outside Harm unlocked the SUV and opened the back door so Mac could put the baby inside. He then opened the other side door placing there cases and baby bag inside. He walked around to the front passenger side and opened the door for Mac - he looked over Mac's shoulder to check on his sleeping son.
"Poor little guy is warn out honey!"
"I know he is Salior - I felt so helpless when he was crying, nothing I was doing was helping him."
"Sweetheart it's not your fault"
"Yes it is Harm - if I hadn't brought him back up "
Harm placed his two fingers on her lips - "Oh no you don't, your not going to blame yourself, you had nothing to do with an old elevator braking down, it's done it before and will do it again, the main thing is everyone made it out safely. "
Mac knew Harm was right but part of her still felt guilty for deciding to take the baby back with her and not leaving him in daycare. She shook the thoughts from her head - closed the door and got inside. Harm started the SUV and they headed home.
The drive was routine nothing, hardly any traffic on the road so they made good timing. Harm pulled in beside Mac's corvette - killed the motor, opened the door and got out. Mac opened her door got out and went to get little H out - after getting him she closed both doors walking around to her husband - they started to head upstairs, when a man appeared , he walked up to them holding a gun.
"Don't try anything and no one will be hurt!"
Harm pulled Mac and the baby behind him.
"Look mister just tell me what you want - let my wife and son leave - please don't hurt them."
"Hand over your wallet and watch, and your wife's wallet and watch."
Harm took out his wallet, took off his watch, he then turned to Mac and opened her purse getting out her wallet - he took her shacking hand and removed her watch. She had tears in her eyes, Harm turned around and handed the stuff over to guy.
"Give me her rings too!"
" Oh no please not my rings, they are of no value to you, these where given to me by my husband. " Mac reached in her purse and pulled out her car keys , "Please take the vette insted"
"No I want the rings! NOW HAND THEM OVER BITCH"
Suddenly there was loud nose, this startled the thief he panicked and charged towards Harm and Mac, Harm push Mac and the baby out the way and tried to stop him from going after her, he grabbed the man by the wrist and he tried to get the gun away from him, suddenly it went off - and the guy panicked and ran.
Mac stood frozen as she watched the scene in front of her, then she heard the gun shot and saw the guy run out of alleyway.Just as Harm fell to the ground, Mac screamed and over to him. She knelt down next to him that's when she saw the blood on the ground.
"Oh god no Harm."
