Harm and Mac's apartment
Georgetown
Harm and Mac were sitting on the couch reading the newspaper when they heard a knock on the door.
'I'll get it,' Mac said, folding up the paper as she walked to the door. 'Caroline! Harriet! What are the two of you doing here?'
'We came to see how the two of you were.'
'We're ok,' Mac said as she walked them in.
'Hi, aren't the two of you meant to be at work?' Harm asked closing his paper.
'We're on a lunch break,' Caroline replied taking a seat. 'We still can't believe the Admiral suspended the two of you over the Smith court martial. That was nearly 6 months ago.'
'What?!' Harm and Mac asked, confused.
'The Admiral told everyone last week that he suspended you and that you would be back next week,' Harriet explained puzzled.
'Before I forget. He asked us, well actually, he ordered us to tell the two of you to be at McMurphy's on Friday and 8:30. Everyone from JAG's going to be there so he wanted you two as well.' Caroline said glancing at her watch. 'Harriet, we better get giong.'
'Well it was nice seeing the two of you,' Harm said as the four of them walked to the door. 'I guess we'll be seeing you on Friday.'

Friday, 2030 hours
McMurphys Tavern
'I wonder what this is all about,' Mac said as she got out to the car. They were still a little shocked at what the Admiral told everyone. They weren't suspended. They quit.
Harm and Mac slowly walked in the door of the tavern where the Admiral was waiting.
'Come back outside with me. We need to talk.' He said walking out the door. 'The SecNav and I have decided that the two of you are too valuable to let go, so we have decided to offer you a deal.'
'We're listening,' Harm said wrapping his arms around Mac's waist.
'Both of you can come back to JAG and both stay. Neither will be transferred but on a couple of conditions.'
'What kind of conditions?' Mac asked trying to hide her smile. They're going to let us work together, she thought to herself.
'You will both act professionally while at the office and you will still be court martialled for lying.'
'Harm what do you think?' Mac asked facing her husband.
'We except.' Harm told the Admiral with a huge grin.
'Good. Now get inside,' AJ said walking back in.
'Yes sir,' they said together as they followed him in.
AJ walked up to the bar and picked up a microphone.
'Can I please have everyone's attention.' He stood and waited till everyone was looking at him. 'A lot of you will be wondering why I ordered you all here. Well, I called you here because there is something I need to announce. Harm, Mac. Could the two of you come and stand over here.' He waited till they had come forward and were standing next to him. 'A lot of you at JAG would know that their friendship goes back over four years. I remember when the two of them first met. I had to warn them not to get too familiar because they would be working together. As per usual, they didn't listen.' AJ waited until the laughter to die down before he continued. 'Over the years, I have watched them grow into two fine officers. I have seen them help each other through the good and the bad times. They not only work well by themselves but they are great as a team. Over the last year, we have seen their friendship weaken as a result of certain events. But I have found out recently that over the last 4 months, they have been building their friendship back up and have made it stronger than before. I never realised how strong it was until last Monday when they both threatened to quit if I broke them up. So I guess, we'll be stuck with them for a few more years. Anyway, back to what I wanted to announce. Last Monday I was told that Harm and Mac's relationship was a little more than just friendship. Three weeks ago they were married in a small church with close family.' The Admiral waited for everyone to be quiet. 'As they are both so stubborn and pig headed, I had to find a way to allow them to continue working together as neither wanted to leave. So I had to do a lot of butt kissing to the SecNav.' Again, there was more laughter. 'Those of you who have been at JAG for a while, would know that I wouldn't do that for just anyone. So now that they are allowed to work together, I wanted everyone here so I could introduce you all properly. Everyone, please meet Commander and Lt Colonel Harmon Rabb Junior.'
Harm and Mac shared a long and tender kiss as the cheers and clapping started around the Tavern.
