Harm and Mac's Apartment
North of Union Station.
Harm started to pace the apartment, he just knew he needed to get his wife and son out of town. He knew first hand what Palmer is capable of doing. After all he'd been subject to it more then once. God help him if he did anything to hurt either one of them.
Mac watched as Harm was pacing around the apartment. She looked down at Tommy. Judging by the way he was starting to act, she figured he was planning something. Part of herself was afraid to ask what, but she felt that she needed to find out. So she went over to him.
"Harm talk to to me. Don't shut me out? After all this effects all 4 of us, not just you."
He stoped pacing and looked over at his family. "I'm not going to loose you guys. I need to get ya"ll out of town. I don't trust Webb to keep us safe. That's my job."
Mac looked in Harm's eyes, "We aren't leaving you. We are a family, and if we leave so do you. If you stay so do we. That's what families do. You've taught me that we are stronger together than apart. I will not run away from you. I love you."
Harm took his wife and son in his arms holding them tight to his chest. He placed a kiss on her head. "Baby please let me..."
Mac looked up. "No...No... I'm not leaving you. I want loose you, I've just gotten everything I want. And I will not run away. I'm a Marine we never leave a man behind, even if he's a squid."
Harm pulled back and looked deep into his wife's eyes. "Okay you won for now. But only cause you don't play fare."
"All is fare in love and war."
Harm smiled, "Maybe I'm over reacting, I just don't know. All I know is every time Palmer has escaped, some thing bad has happened. And now I've got more to loose."
"I hate to inform you of this Rabb, but you're not going to loose us. Right Tommy!"
"Tommy says - right mommy, daddy is stuck with us."
"And daddy wants to be stuck with you guys for the rest of his life." Harm pulled his family tighter to him holding them in his arms. Silently praying that this would blow over soon.
Outside Harm's Apartment.
Palmer ( as Webb ) sat in his car watching Harms apartment. Waiting on the right moment to put his plan in motion.
Meanwhile Back inside...
Harm and Mac went about the rest of their evening. Harm tried to act like nothing was bothering him. But Mac could pick up on his unease. She wanted to talk to him about it. But she knew better. Especially when he acted like this. She knew she'd not get far with him. So she just went about getting herself and Tommy ready for bed. Silently hoping that Harm would talk to her once they settled in for the night. But she soon found out, she was wrong. Harm went straight to laying down facing with opposite side of the bed. She looked at Tommy as she laid him down.
Leaning over into the bassist. She whispered to him. "Don't worry sweet boy, Mommy will talk to Daddy. He's not going to shut us out."
Making her way over to the bed, she climbed in and snuggled up to Harms back, draping her arm over his in an attempt to reach his his chest. She felt him flinch, than she felt him take her hand in his. Locking them together. She started placing light kisses along his shoulder blades, feeling him start to relax under her lips. Suddenly he turned over. Pulling Mac fully on top of him.
He wrapped both his arms around her holding her firmly in place.. "I'm sorry about earlier. I just have so much more to loose now. It scares me at the the thought. There's one part I never told you, about when had my vision of our life."
Mac started to try and prop herself up, but Harm held her in place. "The day we brought Rosie home, we took her to the park. After we left, and started back. A car cane out of no where and almost ran you and Rosie down. I push you both out of the way. Getting hit myself."
Mac looked up into her husbands eyes. Seeing his tears. She brushed them away, "Oh I understand now. I understand why you feel the need to protect the three of us so strongly. But Harm it was only a vision. You don't know that will happen."
"I know that, but I can't risk loosing you,Tommy or the baby."
"I promise you're not going to loose us. Why don't we go bed for now. I'm sure everything will look better in the morning. " Mac kissed his chest, and snuggled back down. Slightly hoping she was right.
