Harm and Mac's House

McLean,Va

"Josh wait here while go speak with your mother."

"Yes Sir"

Harm dashed down the front steps, stopping once he reached Annie's car, he reached for her arm. "What gives here, you should have called ahead and let me know that you are dropping him off."

"Well maybe you should check your messages."

Putting his hand on his hip and running his other one over his tired face, "I've not been home over the last couple of days. Sarah had a scare, we've been at the hospital."

"Sorry to hear that."

"Don't act like you care."

"Well next time check your voice mail; I really don't have time to argue with you, I have a plane to catch."

"Can't someone else watch Josh for you while your gone?"

"Really? He's partly your responsibility now."

"I get that; and I'm fully aware of that. It's just at the moment it's not a good time for myself and Sarah, she's under a lot of stress; and that's not good for the baby..."

"Baby? What baby?"

That's when it dawned on Harm; Annie didn't know that Mac is pregnant. "Harm didn't you hear me?"

Harm pondered how to answer her, well he didn't have long to wait, Mac and Tom had made their way to front door. Both looking somewhat shocked to find Josh standing there and Annie in the driveway. Annie's eyes got wide when she saw Mac. Harm saw where she was now looking at.

"She's pregnant again?"

"Yes my wife is pregnant, with our baby girl, she's having a very difficult pregnancy, she doesn't need stress right now."

"Wait are you calling Josh stress? You know what I'll just.."

Mac had made her way down to them; "Annie; it's fine with me if he stays, but like Harm said, please call next time."

"Fine. I'll be back in a week, call me if he needs anything." Annie got in her car and drove off; leaving Harm and Mac in the driveway.

Mac took Harms hand, "I know you had nothing to do with this, and I'm not mad. Josh is a good little boy, besides he can help out with Tommy."

"As long as you're okay with him being here, that's all that matters in the long run."

"Trust me ; I'm fine with him, plus he likes beltway burgers." Mac winked at Harm as she waddled back towards the house. He just shook his head and followed his wife. When they reached the front porch, both stoped and looked at Josh and Tom.

"Harm is everything okay?"

"Yes Sir."

"Good; now who's this young man here."

"Joshua Pendry ; meet Admiral Thomas 'Tom' Boone. He was my fathers wingman, and he's my godfather."

Josh stuck his hand out- "It's nice to meet you Sir."

Tom took Josh's hand- "Nice to meet you too."

"So you're Uncle Harm's godfather? Does that make you my grand godfather?"

Harm and Tom both looked at each other. Mac just laughed. Harm turned his attention to his wife. "Well Rabb he asked a very valued question."

"I'll settle this; Josh if that's what you want, fine by me."

"Cool... So did you know my dad?"

Harm and Tom both looked at each other. "No son I never knew your dad; I only ever heard good things about him from your Uncle Harm."

"Oh." Josh was kinda sad now. Mac now chimed in

"Josh I'm hungry; and I'm betting you are too, why don't we sweet talk uncle Harm into going to Beltway Burgers for us."

Josh's eyes got big, "oh please Uncle Harm.."

Mac gave Harm a puppy dog look, "Yes please" she patted her tummy, "Rosie and Mommy are hungry."

Harm tossed his hands up, "Fine I know when I'm licked." He turned around making his way back inside to grab his wallet and keys. As he did Tom picked up Josh's bag, and the 3 of them followed Harm inside the house.

Just as Harm started to leave, his mom and Frank showed up with Tommy. They made their way to Harm. "Darling are we here at a bad time?"

"No mom; I'm just heading out to pick up some lunch for everyone."

"Who's everyone?"

"Sarah, Tom and Josh."

And mention of Tom and Josh; Trish's eyes got wide. Harm picked up on this. "Mom is something wrong?"

"No darling what makes you think that?"

"Well the look on your face to start with?"

"Oh I'm sorry dear, you just caught me by surprise when you said that Josh is here."

"Oh." Something told Harm that there was more to what his mom was telling him. He filled it away for the time being. "Have you both had lunch yet?"

"Yes darling we ate before we headed over with this precious little boy. He's such a blessing in our lives. We are both so happy you have him."

Harm peeped into Tommy's carrier, "I know mom. Why don't you both head on inside, I know Sarah is waiting for you both."

"Alright son." Harm headed to his Lexus while his mom and Frank headed towards the front door. Frank stoped Trish from ringing the bell. "Darling do you think Tom told him about Luke?"

"I don't know; but if he didn't, it's not our place to say a word."
