Harm and Mac's Apartment
North of Union Station
They both laid wrapped in each other's arms, after a wonderful night and early morning together. Harm was the first to open his eyes, he smiled as looked down at his wife resting peacefully on his chest. He never would get tired of waking up to her. Mac opened her eyes and looked up to see blue eyes looking down at her.
"Good morning husband!"
"Good morning wife."
"It is a good morning, by the way how's your throttle."
Harm raised his eye brow, "Seems to be working fine, as far as I can tell."
Mac lifted the sheet up. "Ummm I might need to inspect it later on."
"I'm going to hold you to that!" He placed his hand on her abdomen and started to rub it. " How's baby Rabb today?"
"Baby Rabb and mommy are hungry and want daddy to feed us."
"I can do that! What does mommy and baby Rabb want?"
"Surprise us..."
"I can do that." Harm got up grabbed his boxers pulling them on as he headed down the stairs to the kitchen and started getting stuff out for breakfast. He was interrupted by pounding on his front door. Harm walked over to the door, unlocked it and opened it up. He was stunned when he saw Renée on the other side.
Before he could say anything, she pushed her way past him.
"You have some nerve Harmon Rabb! The very idea giving my name to the police telling them that I vandalized your apartment. do you really think I'm capable of that?"
Harm started to speak- "Well Harm do you?"
By now Mac had walked down from the bedroom. She went and stood next Harm talking his hand in hers. "Renée I never said you vandalized the apartment, I only gave them your name as someone that knows where my hide-a-key is kept."
"Then why did they need an alibi from me?"
Mac spoke up- "Because our home was vandalized over the weekend."
Renée looked over at Mac- "I didn't ask you Mac! Besides I have nothing to say to you not now or ever."
"Well that's just tough, cause I'm here and not going anywhere and you have used Harm's hide-a-key. I told him you did."
"Oh that's rich coming from you, a woman that jumps from bed to bed - wait you said our home?"
Renée looked from Harm then back to Mac, she than noticed their hands where joined. That's when she saw the rings. "You two are married? When did this happen? And Harm how could you just marry her?"
"That doesn't concern you! Sarah told me you used the key while I was away. How many other times did you use when I was out of town?"
"I only used that one time, I was here to get my belongings. That's when she walked in like she owned the place."
"What was I supposed to think when i came home and found you here. After Harm had ended things with you and shipped everything back to you. You had no right to be here. Going through his home."
"Yes I did, as far as I knew I still had items here."
"You told me you looked in his personal nightstand. Why was that?"
"I had put a makeup set in there, and I was looking for it."
Harm eyed Renée-He knew she was lying. "I know your lying, you weren't looking for makeup, you were looking for the rings."
"Okay maybe I was. Maybe I though you might still love me enough to come back to me. But I didn't vandalize your apartment. I wouldn't do that to you Harm. Despite everything that's happen I still love you."
"Look Renée I'm sorry things didn't work out between us, but.."
"No buts , I don't want want to hear it. I hope she is worth all the pain you put me through."
Renée turned and started to storm out, that's when she glanced over at the book case. The sonogram photo caught her eye. She picked it up and looked at. "Oh you've got to be kidding me? This can't be true!l"
Mac went over to get her baby's photo away from Renée before anything could happen to it. "Please give me the photo of my baby!"
"Oh! I'm with him over a year, and your with him not even 3 months and your already pregnant! You know I thought you might have been that day I was here. Now I know you are. Do you even know who fathered your bastard?"
"ENOUGH Renée, I will not have to speak to my wife that way. Now hand over my baby's picture and get out."
"You never wanted a baby with me did you? That's why you always made sure to get the extra strong condoms. How many times did it take you to knock her up?"
Harm knew he had to play this smart, "Sarah was always going to get my baby, she was the only one ever going to. I promised my baby to her, long before I ever met you."
Renée started to sob, "I never really had a shot did I? It was always going to be her. Here take your photo, I've seen all I need to see here." She handed Mac the photo and left. Once she got outside the apartment apartment she took out her phone and dialed a number.
"Hey if your not busy later can you meet me for a drink, I need to talk you about something?"
"Binzngers. 730 is fine." Renée hung up and left.
*Back inside*
Harm put his head down hated that he caused her more pain then she was already in. He looked over at Sarah. "I never should have given them her name if I hadn't she would have never shown up here today."
Mac rubbed Harm's arm - "You did what you thought was right at the time. Plus she did use the key, who's to really say she didn't use it again."
"Do you think she might have come back and trashed the place, based on how she acted just now?"
"Yes I think she could have, remember the day I caught her she had tied poor Jingo up. He wouldn't have hurt her.."
Harm pulled his wife into his arms,rubbing her back. "I know he wouldn't have hurt her sweetheart. Just like I know what she said about our little baby isn't true."
Mac felt sudden sadness rush over her, she suddenly started to sob in her husbands arms-"Harm.. What.. what.. if.." She started to rub her abdomen..
"What If What Sweetheart?"
"Harm our baby, she knows about our baby. What if she tells Mic?"
"I don't see why she would, I don't even think she has a way to contact him."
"I know in time he'll find out. I'm just worried what's going to happen when he does."
"Brumby isn't talking my baby away. I'm that baby's father, and we both know it."
Mac breathed a sign of relief, "I'm just overacting, I know I am. Please tell me I am."
"Sweetheart, you've got a right to overact. You're going to be a mother. That's what they do, trust me I've seen mine overact before."
"You don't think I'm being paranoid?"
"No I don't, I'd be worried if you weren't. Your motherly instincts are kicking in."
Harm wrapped his arms around Mac.. "Why don't I finish getting breakfast for us. Then we can enjoy the rest of this day."
"I like that idea."
Harm went back into the kitchen and pulled out some fruit and cooked them up some eggs. After breakfast was finished, they got dressed and headed out. Before they left Mac reminded Harm they needed to be back in time for the locksmith. After some debate they decided to pick up Jingo and stop by Mac's apartment so she could pack up some more of her things.

Mac's Apartment
Georgetown
Harm, Mac walked up to Mac's Apartment unaware that Mic had followed them there. He watched them walk up and into the building. He started to get out and follow them up then he thought he would just bide his time and let them think they where in the clear. So for now he just watched.
Inside the apartment.
Mac went into her bedroom, she went about gathering up more of her clothes and other belongings. Harm had walked into the extra bedroom and pulled out the baby stuff that grams had brought. He picked up his dads baby blanket. He could picture himself wrapping his baby in this blanket. Walking with the baby on nights the little one would have trouble sleeping, watching Mac sitting in a glider with their baby safely in her arms. He just sat there, he didn't notice Mac walk inside.
"Whatcha thinking about?"
"Just the future, our future. What you'll look like holding baby Rabb"
Mac walked over and sat down in Harm's lap wrapping her arms around his took his face her hands leaning down to kiss him. He responded to her by deepening the kiss. After a few moments they broke apart. Both looking into each other's eyes.
"I think you're right, baby Rabb is a boy. As much as I want a daughter, history tends to also replete it's self."
"Well Maybe history will do it different this time!"
Harm held his dads baby blanket. He looked down at it. "Do you think Grams would've given us this if she didn't believe the baby is a boy?"
"Well maybe, cause if this one isn't a boy the next one might be."
"Next one!"
"Yes I'm expecting more then one from you."
Harm's eyes got wide - "Well lets just figure this one out first. You ready to get Jingo and head back."
"Yes my bag is by the door.."
They both stood up and headed out and too the front door, Harm grabbed Mac's bag. They left the apartment and headed back down to Harms Lexus to go get Jingo and head back home. Mic watched them leave, he waited a few minutes before he followed them. Harm had noticed the parked car when they came out. He saw the man sitting in it, but didn't think much about till he noticed it following them. He looked over at Mac.
"Sweetheart just out of Curiosity what kind of car does Brumby drive?"
"A silver Malibu!"
"Like the one 1 car behind us?"
Mac glanced out the window. "Yes that's like his. You don't think that's him do you ?"
"I'm not sure!"
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm working on it..."
