Next Morning

Grandma Sarah's Farm

This time Tommy woke up Harm with his rooting around. " Och! Hold on there son. I don't have what you're looking for. Sarah wake up."

Mac shot up. "What's wrong? Where's the baby?"

"Sweetie he's right here. Take him while I go heat his bottle."

Harm handed Tommy over to Mac. She took him and Harm headed down stairs. When he reached the kitchen, He was met by Grandma Sarah handing him a bottle.

"Grams how did you know?"

"I might be old, but I know babies. They wake up early and hungry. I figured I'd keep a bottle warm for him. You know I hear they have this great invention called a bottle warmer. Just food for thought. Now go feed that baby."

Harm kissed his grandma and headed back to their room. He opened the door walking back inside. He handed Mac the bottle. She placed in Tommy's mouth. He latched on sucking away.

"That was quick."

"Grams already had his bottle ready."

"Oh."

"Are you okay sweetheart?"

"Yes and no, I know we're here to get married. I just don't want anything over the top. I just want you, me , Tommy and grams."

"I figured you'd want Bud and Harriet as well."

"I did.. wait you said as well...Harmon Rabb what have you done."

"Well that was part of your surprise, but I asked Bud and Harriet to come up for the wedding."

"You just seem to know what I need before I do. Have you always been this way? Or am I just now seeing this?"

"Maybe a little of both. I know your friends are important to you. And who else but Harriet would you want standing next to you."

"Well I would take you, but your the groom."

"Touché."

"So Mr 'I've got this under control' what am I going to wear?"

"I'm leaving that up to you, grams and Lilly."

"Lilly is Tom's wife?"

"Yes, I think you two will hit off. She's a lot like Harriet."

"Oh okay, and while we are doing this. What will you be doing?"

"Bonding with my son. I just.."

"I get it. You want to show him what it means to be a Rabb."

"It's more than that, mom told me a story once. She said that after I was born. They came to the farm. Dad took me, he walked me around explaining what this place meant to him. I want to do that with Tommy. This place is special, I got my second chance at life here. And that lead me to JAG and you."

"Oh! Harm" Mac wiped the tears from her eyes. "Somehow I've always thought Fate brought us together. Like we where meant to be."

"Could be. Well one thing is for sure. Me falling out of the Admrial's chair didn't hurt."

"I'll say, it woke you up!"

Knock knock... "You two gonna stay in bed all day.." Grams said as she opened the door.

"No Grams. In fact.."

"Oh Harmon, just stop now. I know better than anyone that babies require attention. Especially one as cute as my great grandson." Grams walked over and sat down on the bed, looking at Tommy as Mac continued to feed him. "I just love watching him. You can learn so much looking into a baby's eyes."

"Really Grams?"

"Yes Sarah dear, see when I look into his eyes. I see how much he loves you and Harmon. He knows you both are are never going to hurt him. That's why he cries for one of you when he's away from you. He can sense when he alone. And that scares him. It's a special bond between parents and children. But I think you know that already. I can tell."

"Yes grams, I can't explain it. But I just can't stand the thought of being away from him. I know I didn't give birth to him."

"You've bonded dear. That's what mothers and babies do, they bond. It's a deep bond. One that can never be broken." Grams patted Mac on the arm as she got up. "Just let me know when you're ready to head into town."

"Okay." Mac looked down at Tommy as he kept drinking away. "Your a hungry little guy this morning."

"I think that's good sweetheart, means he's growing."

"I think your right." Mac handed Tommy over to Harm. "Why don't you finish so I can get ready to go into town."

"Okay, we got this. Right son." Tommy just looked at his daddy as he continued to drink away. In the meantime Mac went into the bathroom to change her clothes.

"Tommy, you and I are going to spend the whole day together. I'm going to show you everything here. And explain to what it means to be a Rabb." Harm could tell Tommy was now full. He removed the bottle from his mouth, and placed it on the nightstand.

He placed him on his shoulder, patting him on his little back. He decided to get up and walk to the window. He just looked out over the farm. "You know Tommy someday, all this will be yours. I love you my son.Now I know how my own dad must have felt about me. Cause I die before I'd let anything happen to you or your mommy."

Mac walked out just in time to hear the last part. She casually placed her hand on her abdomen. She wondered if Harm would still love their baby as much as he does Tommy.

Harm noticed her reflection in the glass, and he turned to look at her. "Sweetheart what's wrong," He walked over to her.

"I hard the last part of your conversation with Tommy. What about our.."

"Baby?"

"Yes, what about our little Rosie?" Harm placed his hand on hers.

"She's still our sweet little angel. But I think we need to find out if she's a little girl first. But if we go by heart, I already know she is."

"Well I for one love your heart." Mac started to kiss him , when she heard Grams calling for her. "I'd better go."

"Have fun shopping. Use the credit card I gave you. And get what ever you want."

"Okay...I'm going to do just that." Mac smiled as she walked out. She made her way down the stairs to find Grams standing at the bottom waiting for her.

"Ready dear?"

"Yes ! Harm gave me credit card."

"Oh goodie that's even better." With that both woman left out.
