A/N- This is the official last chapter to this little series before the new one begins. I felt that I needed to tie up some loose strings with this one. So please indulge me a little here.

Harm and Mac's Apartment

North of Union Station

Harm ran his hand over his face , it had been a long week. They'd spent most of it packing up the apartment, making arrangements for their cars to be shipped, stoping their mail service. Basically all the hideous things one does when moving.

Looking around he remembered the last time he moved out of this apartment. At the time he never thought he'd never be back. Little did he know how different his life was about to become back then.

"There's something so final about packing boxes."

Harm looked up and over to his wife; "What did you just say?"

"I said; there's something so final about packing boxes. What did you think I said?"

"I just wanted to make sure I heard ya right. I.. ummm ... well I recall you saying something. along that same line years ago standing in that doorway."

Mac thought for a minute; then it dawned on her. " I remember that night, our lives changed forever."

Harm made his way over to Mac. " Yes; everything was different after that. We went to San Diego. I started a new job. We almost got married..." Mac silenced Harm with her hand.

"I'm sorry we didn't; that's mostly my fault, I was so scared that our marriage would crash and burn just like my first one did. I now know I was wrong , I placed my fears on you, I wanted to blame you. You where ready, I wasn't."

"It's all in the past now; we learned from that and now we have everything. Our new life, our kids and our new future."

Mac nodded her head, she wiped the tears that had started to fall. "Harm are we ready for this? I mean are we really ready for this?"

"I'm ready if you are"

Taking a deep breath, "Well at the time I thought I was, now that it's here; I'm just not so sure. Harm do we really want to move away from Washington?"

Harm pondered for a minute; "I don't want to do anything that you don't feel ready to do, you want to stay, we will stay. "

Mac looked around the packed up apartment, all this reminded her of the last time that they moved."Harm please don't hate me, I just don't think I'm as ready as I was when you first told me. I just keep thinking back to what happened before. I don't want to go through that ever again. "

Harm walked over and took Mac into his arms, placing a kiss on her head; "Baby if you want to stay; I'll make that happen."

Before Mac could say another word; Rosie came running in. "Mama me make picture." She handed Mac her new drawing. Rosie had drawn herself along with Harm,Mac and Tommy on the beach, she had written on it 'new home'... Harm walked over to see what his little one had drawn.

"Dada likes this Rosebud; what do you think Mama?"

"I'm ready. I'm really ready, let's go."

"Sounds good to me, next stop Hawaii."Harm smiled and winked at his baby girl...

"No dada. We go beach.." Both Harm and Mac both laughed at their sweet little girl. Well she was right about the beach part anyway...
