Mac was tapping another box together. Since Trish and Frank's generous gift, Harm and Mac were packing up all the stuff in her apartment getting it ready to move. They would be moving in a week. Later in the weekend they were going furniture shopping. Harm and Mac had decided to furnish and decorate the first floor and their bedroom. The other bedrooms they would leave until they had children. Which, if Mac's suspicions were correct wouldn't be to far away. She wouldn't no for certain for another week, as that was the only time she could get an appointment.
"Hey I got all the frames an albums packed away," Harm said as he entered their bedroom.
"Good I have most of our clothes packed. Of course I left out our uniforms and some other outfits. Since were moving in a week I didn't think we'd need much clothing."
"I see we had similar thoughts Colonel," Harm said with a gleam in his eyes.
Mac who hadn't seen the gleam in his, didn't notice Harm creep up on her till he'd wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Harm," Mac said in what she hoped was an annoyed tone. "We have to pack," she said trying to sound like the sensible one.
"Yea I know," Harm said as he trailed kisses down her neck. Mac let out a small moan. She turned around and captured Harm's lips in a fiery kiss.
"What about the packing?" Harm asked as they pulled apart.
"Screw the packing," Mac said as she kissed him again.
Harm just chuckled.
Harriet had just finished getting herself and little AJ ready. They were going to meet Harm, Mac, Frank and Trish for lunch. After lunch Mac was going to show Harriet their new house.
"We see Aunie Mac and Unca Harm?" AJ asked when they got in the car.
"Yes, we're going out for lunch."
The boy squealed with delight. Next to his parents, the people he liked spending time with the most were his godparents.
Harriet was meeting everybody at a nice Italian restaurant in Falls Church.
Twenty minutes later outside La Piazza.
Harm and Mac had just arrived in Mac's vette. Frank and Trish were right behind them in Harm's SUV. Harriet had already arrived and had put their name on the list for a table.
"Aunie Mac! Unca Harm!" Little AJ yelled as he ran up to his godparents.
"Hey buddy. How's it going," Harm said as he lifted the young boy into his arms.
"Roberts party of six your table is now available," the hostess said.
Everyone was seated and given menus.
"I wan pizza," AJ said looking over his menu. "This one," he said pointing to something on the menu. The boy couldn't read and had actually pointed to Linguini in red wine sauce. Everyone laughed.
After lunch was ordered a round of conversation started.
"So how's Bud doing?" Mac asked. Bud had been away at a rehab facility that specializes in working with prosthetics.
"He's doing a lot better. They think he might even be ready to come home by the end of the month."
Mac noticed that Harriet seemed to be doing a lot better also. When the accident first happened it was hard on the whole Robert's family. It was nice to see Harriet smiling again.
After lunch they all made their way to the new house.
"Ma'am it's beautiful," Harriet said as she looked up at the house. Mac shot her a look. "I mean Mac, what a nice house."
They went inside and Mac showed Harriet the upstairs first.
"We decided that we're not going furnish the bedrooms until we have kids. That we'll know whether to decorate for a boy or a girl," Mac said as they walked down the long hallway.
"Good idea."
Once the upstairs tour was done, Mac showed Harriet the first level and the basement.
Harriet was real happy for her friends. She couldn't ever remember seeing Mac happier then she was at this moment. It was about time her and Harm found a some happiness.
After looking at the house Harm and Mac went back home to finish packing. That hadn't gotten much done earlier that morning.
"Let's go squid we have a lot to do. Because of you we have to work double time."
"Because of me? If I remember correctly you were the one who said to forget about the packing."
"That's only because you distracted me. If you hadn't we'd have most of it done by now."
"Oh really?" Harm said huskily into Mac's ear. Mac closed her eyes and enjoyed Harms hands on her shoulders as he massaged them.
"Did I say we had to pack?" Mac asked.
"I believe you made it an order Colonel."
"Well I never said we had to do it right now did I? I mean it will still be here in let's say an hour?"
"Of course it will," Harm said smiling.
"Ok then we'll pack later."
Harm laughed.
"So we'll pack later?" Harm asked.
"Yea," Mac said pulling him close for a kiss.
"Ok then this was your doing. I don't want to hear about it later."
"Shut up squid!" Mac commanded as she kissed him again.
So the packing resumed again later. Much later.
