Harm and Mac's house
McLean Va
After Harm left, Mac stayed in bed hugging his pillow. She didn't want to get up. Cause that would mean facing a big empty house without him. She wasn't ready for that yet. So when she heard the doorbell ring, she cringed and dragged herself up and down stairs. Making her way over to the door, she looked out the peephole, cringing when she saw whom was on the other side. Bracing herself she opened the door.
"Colonel I hope I'm not disturbing you?"
"Congress Woman , what makes you think that? After all my husband is gone. And I'm all alone here. Care to explain why?"
"That's why I'm here. I need to explain what happened."
Mac moved aside, " By all means come in." Bobbi walked in and Mac closed the door. She stepped ahead of Bobbi and they headed into the livingroom. Both ladies took a seat on the sofa.
Bobbi fiddled with her hands. " I'm not sure how to begin this."
"You can start with why my husbands orders where overturned and he ended up having to leave me! "
"Right to the lighting round."
"I don't beet around the bush. I just want the truth."
"I see, well it seems that there are some photos of myself and Harm that don't show him as an Officer and a Gentleman. Plus they can harm my chances for re-election."
"So my husband being sent away is to protect you?"
"Well they could hurt Harm as well. If it's found out we had a brief fling when he worked for me. It could hurt his chances of ever being the JAG. I had to protect him."
Mac jumped up. "You had to protect him. Oh my god! Your not his wife!, I am. That's my job not yours. How is sending him away going to protect him? Do you even know how much you've hurt him? It's killing him thinking he's going to miss the birth of his children. I don't care how you fix this. I don't care what you have to do. You get my husband back here."
"Mac it's not that easy, the people that have this information..."
"I told you I don't care what you have to do, just get him back. He's my husband and the father of my children. I don't care if he fucked you.He told me about your brief encounter. He said it was a laps in judgment and something he regrets. Just clean this up. Now get the hell out of my house."
Mac got up and lead Bobbi to the front door. Bobbi turned around to face her. "For what's its worth, I knew Harm would never look at me like he has always looked at you." She opened the door and left.
Mac shut the door and went back into the livingroom, she laid down on the sofa, pulling the soft blanket around her. She lovingly rubbed her children. "I miss your daddy. I want him back."
A couple of hours later the doorbell ringing woke her up. She grimaced as she got up and made her way over. Not even bothering to look out the peephole, she just opened the door. Chloe threw her arms around Mac. "Mac I've missed you so much."
At first Mac was startled. Then she reached and took Chloe in her arms. "I've missed you too kiddo. How are you even here."
"How do you think. That hunky husband of yours arranged for it. Harriet picked me up at the airport. She just dropped me off here."
"Where is she at now?"
"She said something about having errands to run,but might come by tomorrow."
Mac took Chloe by the hand and they went into the house. "So do I get the grand tour."
"I'm not up for the grand tour. But we can go see the babies room, and put your stuff in your room."
"Cool, so what are the babies?"
"A girl and a boy."
"Harm did good..."
"CHLOE ..."
"Well he did, I always knew he had it in him."
"Come on.." Chloe followed Mac up the stairs, they stoped at the room next to the nursery. Both walked in Chloe sat her bag down and looked around, "I love this room, it reminds me of the beach."
"Harm's mom helped me with the decorating. She's very detail oriented."
"I like it, now I want to see my little niece and nephew's room."
"Follow me." Mac and Chloe walked to the next room Chloe went inside while Mac stayed at the door and watched her. Chloe walked around the room looking at everything she stoped at Sarah Rose's bed, she picked up the pink teddy bear. Running her hand over it. Mac went over to her when she heard soft sobbing. She wrapped her arms around her.
"What's wrong kiddo?"
"It's nothing really."
"I know better, talk to me."
"It's just... well.. seeing all this makes me wonder. If I had anything like this as a baby."
"I don't know, but it's never too late to start."
"Really Mac, don't you think I'm too old for stuffed toys?"
"No I don't ! Harm gave me a stuffed bear with roses for Valentine's Day..."
"Yeah but he's your hunky sailor, he should."
"But my point is no woman is too old for a stuffed bear."
Chloe smiled and placed the bear back in the crib. "So what are their names?"
"Sarah Rose and Harmon David."
"Sarah and Harm huh.."Chloe laughed.
"Well we decided to use their middle names, it was Harms idea."
"Oh so Rose and David?"
"Well technically Rosie and David. Harm says he likes calling her Rosie.."
"I'm sure she'll just love when she gets older.."
Mac rolled her eyes at Chloe. "I don't know about you, but I could really go for a meat lovers pizza."
"That sounds perfect. I'm going to change first."
While Chloe changed, Mac went back downstairs and ordered their pizza. Just as she hung up, Chloe had walked back into the livingroom.
"So have you and the hunk met any of your neighbors?"
"Just the lady next door. She's really sweet. And the Admiral lives two houses down on the left."
"Really? You live on the same street as your CO?"
"Yes, long story short. Harm remembered me seeing this house once. And well he bought it."
"Wow, I want a man like him when I'm older."
Mac and Chloe continued girl talk while waiting on their pizza. Unaware that Mic was in the car across the street just waiting for his opening. He saw the pizza car pull up. Thinking fast he pulled on his baseball hat and jogged across the street.
He stopped the pizza guy. "Oh I'll take that, I'm going here anyway. Save ya the trip mate."
"Okay cool." The kid handed Mic the pizza. And he paid him. Mic stood in the driveway and waited on the kid to leave before he made his way to the door. He rang the doorbell making sure to look down.
"Chloe can you get the door. The money is in my purse on the table. I'll grab us some drinks.."
"Sure Mac." Chloe went to the door, while Mac went to the kitchen. She pulled the cash out of Mac's purse and opened the door. "Here you go..."
"Shhhh luv.." Mic said as he grabbed Chloe around the waist with one hand while holding a knife to her throat. "Don't make a sound." Mic walked and in kicked the door closed behind him.
Mac walked back out of the kitchen. "Chloe I got you a..." Mac dropped the drinks on the floor when she saw Mic with Chloe.
"Hello luv... miss me..."
