Part 5
"I promise you, I won't let anything mess this up. This is are time and nothing will ever come between us again" Harm wasn't going to let anything or anyone stop them from begin together. "How about you show me around town" Deciding to come back to this conversation when they were alone.
"I'd love too" Harm stood up, walked over to Mac and held out his hand. Pulling her towards him, Harm placed a quick kiss on Mac's lips.
"So, where do you want to go first." Harm asked
"Well lets see, we could go to the mall first and then we can check out the shops on 16th street, they used to have this really nice dress shop there, Montego." "Well the lets go" Hand in hand Harm and Mac walked out of the diner.
Part 6

Harm and Mac had spent the last hour going from shop to shop.
"Hey Mac, I want to get something for A.J in the Toy Store. I'll meet you in Dillard's in 20" Harm was hoping Mac wouldn't ask to go with him. He wanted to get her something a reminder of what they had started here.
"Okay, I'm going to head over to Sears" As Mac turned to walk away Harm grabbed her hand and twisted her around to him. Harm bent down and softly brushed his lips against hers.
"I love being able to kiss you whenever I want"
"I love it too" Mac kept expecting to wake up from this dream; this has to be too good to be true.
"I'll see you in a few minutes" Harm briefly kissed Mac. Mac turned and walked over to Sears. Harm didn't move till he was sure she was in Sears. He went back down stairs where he had seen a jewelry store.

"May I help you sir" Harm looks up to see a woman in her thirty's with blonde hair and blue eyes, smiling at him.
"Yes, I'm looking for a gift for my girlfriend" Girlfriend, I never thought I would ever be able to call Mac my girlfriend. I find my smile widen as I think about this When Harm looked at the sales girl she had a funny look at her face.
"Do you have anything pacific in mind, like a necklace or a ring" she smiled sweetly at him.
"I have a ring but that's for when we get home. I wanted to give her something to remind her of our time here and how much I love her" Normally Harm would have never spoken so openly about his emotions. But he wanted everyone to know he was in love with the most wonderful, beautiful woman in the world.
"We have some really beautiful necklaces and we also have a wide range of bracelets" The women lead Harm over to one of the glass cases. "On the left are bracelets and on the right we have necklaces" Harm wasn't sure about a bracelet, he knew Sarah wasn't too fond of them, but he knew she like necklaces.
"I think a necklace would be perfect, something simple" Harm look at all the different types. He began to wonder if it was a good for him to be shopping for jewelry. When it came to this he was completely out of his depth. How was he supposed to know if what he liked, Sarah would like. As Harm looked through the display something caught his eye.
"That there it's perfect" Harm was pointing to a gold locket. Engraved on the front of the locket were what looked like naval aviator wings.
"That locket was originally made for a pilot, that was stationed at the base for a short time. I'm not sure why but the day he was to collect it, he never showed up." The girl placed the locket in Harm's hand. Harm traced the design with his thumb. It was perfect Harm thought to himself.
"Can I get something engraved on the back?" Harm asked.
"Of course. It will only take a few minutes, just write down what you what it to say." The girl gave Harm a pen and some paper. Harm quickly wrote down what he wanted written on the back of the locket. He handed the pen and paper back to the girl. The girl took the locket and paper off Harm.
"I'll be back in a few minutes" Harm continued to look around the shop, as he waited for the girl to return. The girl appeared five minutes later.
"Here you are sir, would you like anything else" The girl asked as she hand the locket to Harm. Harm looked at the engraving on the back. He hoped Mac would understand its meaning. Harm placed the locket it in its box.
"No thank you." Harm placed the box containing the locket in his jeans pocket. Harm quickly luck at his watch. Seeing that he was running late, he turned and left the shop.

"Before you say it I know I'm late." Harm said.
"I wasn't going to say anything. Anyway what did you get for A.J" Mac asked smiling to herself. She was going to tease him about being late but he didn't need to know that.
"I couldn't decide what to get him. I thought maybe later on we could both pick something out for him Harm wasn't sure if Mac brought his explanation.
"What you couldn't find any model planes for him" Mac had often wondered if Harm was trying to turn A.J's room into a mini Smithsonian.
"They didn't have any new ones. I was going to get him a teddy but there was so many I didn't know which one to choose." Harm hoped Mac wouldn't be able to tell he was lying. She could normally tell if he was.
"Sure we'll go later maybe tomorrow"
"Not tomorrow. I plan on taking you to meet my mother and Frank tomorrow" Harm couldn't wait for his mother to finally meet Sarah. Although he wasn't looking forward to the 'I told you so speech', when he tells her that they are going out.
"You want me to meet your mother" Mac was in a state of shock. He wants me to meet his mother Mac thought to herself.
"Mac if my mother finds out that we are only 3 hours away and I didn't bring you to meet her she would kill me." Harm hoped he wasn't pushing Mac to fast, but he really wants her to meet his mother.
"I'm....Okay" Mac dropped her gaze to the floor. She didn't want Harm to see the fear in her eyes. Meeting Harm parents was a big step one she wasn't sure she was ready to take. What happens if Harm's mother didn't like her? What mother would what there only son to be with a recovering alcoholic, not to mention most men in her life either died or as Harm put it wished they were?
"Mac, you don't have to worry my mother will love you. She has been dying to meet you since I first mentioned you." Harm placed his hand gently on her cheek his thumb softly caressing her cheek.
"Mac no matter what happen know that I love you. There is nothing on this earth that I love more. All I need in my life is you, everything else is secondary."
"Thank you, Harm. It's just I'm not the kind of girl most parents want there son to bring home" When Mac looked up to meet Harm's gaze tears formed in her eyes. Seeing such love directed at her. Mac had thought that only her Uncle Matt could ever truly love her.
"Mac are you crazy. You are the most caring, compassionate, brave and loyal person I know. I consider myself lucky to be able to you bring home to meet my parents. If you're not ready we can go some other time." Harm cursed the people who had made Mac feel she was worthless.
"No I want to meet them." Mac watched the grin grow on Harm's face.
"Great, I'll call and tell her. For now how about we get something to eat, than head back to the hotel. The reunion dinner beings at 1600hrs right" Harm couldn't wait for tonight, not only would he see Mac in a dress but it was also there first real date.
"Yeah that sounds good" Mac also was looking forward to tonight. See Harm in a suit was almost as good as his dress whites. Harm wrapped his arm around Mac's waist and started walking out of the mall. Both of them lost in there thought of what would happen tonight at the dance.
