Later in the afternoon

Harm and Mac's House

McLean Va

After waiting the whole morning and a good portion of the afternoon for Mac to be discharged, they were finally able to leave the hospital and head home. Once they arrived back at their house, Harm helped Mac into the living room and over to the plush sofa. He went about making her nice and comfortable. Mac watched him as he moved about the room.

"Talk to me Rabb; I can tell your on edge."

"Sweetheart I'm fine, really I am; I just want to make sure that you're comfortable."

"Harm I'm fine, but we still need to talk about that picture."

He knew this conversation was bound to come up at some point, he was just dreading it. Sighing he tried to change the subject, "Why don't I call mom and find out where her and Frank are, after all they have Tommy with them."

"Harm he's fine with his Grandmother and Grandfather for a few more hours. We need this time to talk. We need to work on us."

Before Mac could continue, the front door bell rang. Harm stood up and started to head over. Mac grabbed his hand. He turned and looked at her. "What?"

"Whom ever it is, after they leave we still need to talk."

Harm nodded his head; knowing that deep down ,Mac is indeed right. He proceeded to head to the door. Upon reaching it, he looked through the peephole. After seeing whom is standing on the other side ; he opened the door. "Sir what brings you by?"

"I stoped by the hospital, they told Mac has been discharged. So I headed here, mind if I come in for minute?"

"No; not all Sir." Harm stepped to the side and aloud space for Admiral Boone to walk in, Harm shut the door behind him. "What brings you by Sir?"

"Why don't we go in the other room so we can talk."

"Yes Sir." Both men headed into the living room where Mac was at.

"Admiral Boone it's nice to see you." He leaned over and gave Mac a lite kiss on the head. "You as well Colonel. I'm glad to see everything is okay with you."

"Yes Sir and thank you Sir."

Tom took the opportunity to look at both of them; "I want beat around the bush here. I taken care of everything. Neither one of you will have to worry about that photo ever seeing the light day again."

Harm looked shocked and Mac just looked confused. "Sir I don't understand how you did this?"

"Harm I'm a fleet Admiral, I have my ways. I found out who took it and who sold it. And who lied to the press about the story. It's been handled."

"Sir so the story wasn't true?"

"Mac; I think you know Harm better than that. You know he'd never risk his life and his career for her. Now for you he would, but not for her. She did kiss him, but he pushed her away. There is another photo of him doing that."

Mac looked down at the ground, she started to sob a little. Harm went over to her, wrapping her into his arms."Harm I'm sorry I should had more faith in you, in us. Our foundation is built on trusting each other."

Harm cradled his wife in his arms, "I know it is baby, we've just need to remember that." He kissed her face.

Admiral Boone clapped his hands, "Now that this mess is cleaned up, I want to meet that baby."

"Give me minute; I have to call mom, he's still with her and Frank." Harm stood up and headed over to desk, retrieving the phone so he could call his mother. In the meantime Tom went and sat down next to Mac, "Level with me Mac; you didn't really believe Harm would cheat on you did you?"

"I really didn't want to, but given his past, and the way women seem to always pop up. I just didn't know what to believe. I know he's not a saint, I'm not either. It's in the back of mind , I still fill I'm not enough for him, that I never will be."

"Trust me you're more than enough for him, he looks at you the same way that Harmon Sr looked at Trish. Just ride his ass, make him walk the straight and narrow, you're a marine I know you can."

Harm walked back into the living room, "Mom and Frank are on their way." Tom and Mac smiled. Harm picked up on this, gesturing between them, "Am I missing something here!"

Both looked at each other, Tom winked at Mac. " Not at all, I was just telling Mac how damn lucky you are to have a woman like her."

Mac smirked; "Hear that Rabb! Damn lucky."

"Yes Sir and I know it." It was at that same time that there was knocking on the front door, thinking that it must be his mom and Frank, Harm got up and headed to open the door. "Mom why didn't you... Annie why are you here?"

"I need to keep Josh, Ive got to leave out of town for a conference, and after all we share custody of him. Here's his bag. I'll call when I get back." Annie walked away leaving Harm standing in his doorway with Josh...
