"Yes mom. I'm
leaving here tomorrow. I'll be out there in plenty of
time."
"Good, cause I
can't remember the last time the entire family was
together."
"That's what you
get for having a military family, mom."
"I know. Look I'm
going to let you go so you can get some sleep. I know how busy that Admiral
keeps you."
"Alright mom. I'll
see you Friday." "Oh Harm one more thing, bring
Mac with you. I would love to show the woman my son is so madly in love
with to the family." "MOM!!" Harm yelled.
"Mac and are not involved. She's engaged to Mic Brumby. Look I'm going now.
Bye. Love you."
"I love you too.
Listen when you have the time call Tuck I think he may need someone to talk
to."
"Alright mom.
Bye."
"Bye."
Harm hung up the phone
and threw himself on the bed. This day was turning out worse than he
thought. First the Admiral came into JAG in a bad mood, then he learned to
scuttlebutt that he would be transferred come summer, and last the worst thing
that happened was he learned that the woman he loved wanted him to help her plan
her wedding. What did Mac think this was The Wedding Singer? No way he was going
to help her plan her wedding to Mic Brumby. The only wedding he would ever
be planning was his own and that didn't seem like that would happen anytime
soon. Renee had left him earlier in the week for a job in LA producing some new
tv show. This week was going great for him.
Glancing at the clock
he realized it was too late to call Tuck in Florida. In fact it was time for him
to hit the sack if he wanted to make his flight in time.

Dulles Airport

Harm was seated and quietly reading the new
Grisham novel when a familiar voice yelling Commander caught his attention. Harm
looked up from his place and saw Bud and Mac making their way down the aisle
toward his seat.
"Commander mind if we sit?" Bud
asked pointing to the two empty seats beside him.
Harm causally waved his hand and Bud and
Mac sat down. Much to Harm's surprise Mac sat down beside him and Bud sat on the
outside.
"Sir what are you doing here?"
Bud asked once they were seated.
"I could ask you the same thing Bud.
My called last month to inform me that there was a family reunion and that I had
to attend. What about you guys? You stalking me?"
"Miramar. Sexual harassment case.
Sounds like well be having more fun than you."
"Actually I'm looking forward to it. I'll get to see my Uncle Bill
again. Every time we've had a family reunion he's been deployed somewhere and
I'll get to see my brother again. God knows it's been forever since we've seen
each other." Mac was about to say something but she
was cut off by the flight attendants explaining the emergency procedures.

"Harmon, Harmon." Harm heard
someone shouting his name and looked up from where he was talking with Bud and
Mac to see his mom and Frank coming toward him.
"Mom." Harm hugged her then
turned around and shook hands with Frank.
"Oh, Harm you did bring Mac!"
Trish looked at the woman by her son's side.
"Actually mom, Mac and Bud are here
for an investigation at Miramar."
"Oh I'm sorry dear."
"It's alright
ma'am."
"Well I insist that you and Bud is
it?" She nodded at Bud.
"Yes ma'am."
"Well I insist that you all come to
our house for dinner tomorrow night." "We
wouldn't want to impose."
"Don't worry about it Mac. It'll give
us time to compare stories about Harm here. And Bud maybe you, Harm, and Tuck
would go sailing." "sure ma'am." Bud
replied being a little stand offish.
"We'd love to
ma'am."
"Alright then just call Harm here for
the directions and time."
"Yes ma'am." Mac said as she and
Bud turned away and went to go get their luggage.
