Next Morning Woodland Bed and Breakfast.
Harm woke up when he felt Tommy rooting around on him. "Hold on little sailor, I thought we talked about this. Daddy doesn't... OCH!!!"
Mac opened her eyes. "Did he nip you?"
"Yes, but not like you do.."
"Well he's hungry daddy."
"Why don't you take him while I go get this bottle ready."
"Okay." Mac sat upright and took her son from Harm. She took off her bra, and let him suck on her. This seemed to satisfy him at least for now. Harm returned with his bottle handing it over to Mac. She attempted to remove him. But he would let go, "Harm what do I do he want let go?"
"Your asking me? I've no clue."
"But he not getting milk from me. He needs to eat."
"Are you sure he's not? I mean your pregnant, don't woman get milk in... well you know..."
"Yes we do, but it's too early. At least I think it is." Mac looked down when she felt him unlatch, then she gave him his bottle he started drinking away. She let out a breath she'd been holding. "Thank god."
Harm just watched, " I think he must have figured out his wasn't getting anything from you."
Mac looked sad now. "That's one part that makes me sad about this, I'll never be able to nurse him." Harm went back over to sit next to Mac. He placed his hand on her abdomen. "You can nurse this one."
"One doesn't replace the other one."
"I know that. But no matter what you're the only mommy he will ever know. Even though you can't nurse him. He can still bond with you. Just like he's been doing."
"I know your right. I think all my martial instincts are starting to come out."
"They've always been there. Look at you and Chole. And you and baby A.J. You've always had them, just Tommy is bringing more of them out."
"You rally know how to say all the right words Sailor." Mac reached over and started to kiss Harm. Tommy let out a tiny wimpier.
"Son we need to work on your timing."
"I know what grams would say..."
"Let's not talk about grams. We don't have to check out till 4pm. So let's not waste any time." Harm took Tommy and laid him in the crib. "Now little sailor, you're going to take a nap for daddy. He needs bonding time with mommy.." He looked at his daddy and smiled. Harm went back over to the bed.Mac laid down on the mattress.
"Strip me down Flyboy."
"Music to my ears..."
A couple of hours later, both laid in each other's arms. Happy and fully stated. "Harm do we have to leave?"
"I only booked one night sweetheart, cause when I booked it. I didn't know we'd have little man with us. And well I know you, I knew you'd want to get back to him."
Mac rolled onto her side and propped herself up.She started playing with Harm's chest hair. "Well I think we should come back here sometime without the little man."
"We can do that. Just name the time."
"I'll have to get back with..." Mac grabbed her mouth and ran for the bathroom. Harm jumped up following her. He got to her just as she was emptying her stomach. He rubbed her back. "Tell me what you need."
"I'm not sure." Once again she got sick.Harm stood up and wet a wash cloth. He placed it on her neck and went back to rubbing her back. When she finished she fell against his chest. He placed his hand on her abdomen.
"Now...now Rosie stop making mommy sick. Be daddy's good little princess."
Mac smiled as she listened,she creased his hand. "You're too good to us."
"That's where you're wrong, I'm not near good enough for you. I'm just lucky you chose to take a chance with me and to trust me with your heart."
"It was easy Flyboy. I know deep down you've always held my heart, and you always will."
They stayed in each other's arms for a little while longer. Just relishing in the feelings they hold for each other now that their love felt deeper. After a while they both got up. Heading back into the bedroom. They stopped and glanced in Tommy's crib. He was just laying there, sucking on his hand. Both smiled down at him.
"Harm, he's so sweet laying here. He knows nothing about the evil in the world."
"And as long as I live, I'll never let anyone or anything happen to any of you. Let's get ready to head back to the farm. After all we have to head home tomorrow."
Grandma Sarah's
A few hours later
Harm opened the front door for Mac and Tommy- "Grams we're home."
Trish met them at the door, "Shhh Grams is asleep already. She tried to stay up."
"I'm sorry mom, we ended up leaving later then we planned."
Mac just stood there smiling. Trish picked up on this. Harm why don't you take the bags upstairs, we'll be along in a few minutes."
Harm glanced over at his wife. "You heard your mother. Hop too sailor."
"Yes Ma'am."
Trish waited till Harm was out of sight. " I'm dieing to know how it was."
"It was a wonderful night, we all such a... I don't know how to describe how it felt."
"Connection? "
"Stronger than that. It felt like a renewal."
"Like two souls reconnecting?"
"Yes I guess you could say that."
"I felt like that with Harm Sr, the minute I saw him I just knew. There would never be another man for me. Oh don't get me wrong, I love Frank, he's a wonderful husband. But my heart and soul will always belong to Harmon."
"I know exactly how you feel. I think I had to go threw everything I went threw to get to Harm. Now I'm never letting him go." Mac looked down when Tommy started to wimpier. " I need to put him to bed."
"Oh by all means darling, plus you need rest as well. After all you've got a growing Rabb in there. And I'm sure you didn't get a lot of rest last night."
Mac just blushed, and headed upstairs. She headed down the hallway to their room. As she opened the door. She noticed that Harm was already propped up in bed. He started to get up when he saw her. She motioned for him to stay put. He watched as she went about getting Tommy ready for bed. After that she took off her clothes and changed into her red silk night gown and climbed in next to Harm laying down on his chest.
"I love this on you."
"Enjoy it while you can, before long I'll be big as a house."
"No you want, you'll be the beautiful mother to our baby girl and my wife."
"Speaking of that. We need to figure out how all this is going to work."
"What do you mean?"
"Well right now we have your place and my place. We don't have a place that's big enough for our family."
"Somehow I think it will work out. Remember mom said she'd help me add on to the apartment. We use that for both babies for now. "
"What about Josh? He needs a room?"
Harm took a breath, "Your right of course. He does need a room. Guess we start house hunting."
"Are you okay with this? I know how you feel about your..."
"Sweetheart it's just an apartment, my home is with my family. You, Tommy and Rosie. You guys are my home. Now why don't we get some sleep."
"Okay Flyboy." Mac leaned over and kissed Harm goodnight. Both snuggled down into each other's arms.
