Monday 0820 am JAG Headquarters
'God I wish he would get here on time sometimes. He better make it before the judge does.' Mac
thought to herself as she headed into the courtroom, finding a seat at the table. After a few
minutes, she hears the door opening and turns to find Harm strolling into the room like he doesn't
have a care in the world.
"Hey sailor, I was beginning to wonder if you were going to show up this morning."
"Sorry, I'm late. I had something I had to take care of." Harm says flashing a grin at her.
The judge arrives. After bringing court to order, Mac and Harm present the evidence they have
found and are able to get all charges against Ensign Walker dropped.
Harm and Mac walk back to their offices together. "So, what were you doing this morning?"
"Nothing too important. It just took longer than I thought." Harm said as they arrived at Mac's
office door. "So I'll see you later, Harm?"
"I'm sure you will. Unless something happens, I'll be here pretending to do paperwork all day
again." Harm said as Mac opened the door. "See you around later." he says turns to walk off,
pausing at her office window to see Mac's face as she notices the bouquet of wildflowers on her
office desk before entering his own office.
A surprised look registers on Mac's face as she notices the wildflowers before breaking into a
smile. She quickly turns around thinking that Harm will be there, but finds no one and goes to see
if there is a card. Not finding a card, Mac thinks 'I wonder where these came from. If they're
from Harm, I'm surprised he's not in here taking credit for them by now. I wonder if this is what
he was doing this morning.' Mac takes a seat at her desk, planning to accomplish some work and
ask Harm about the flowers later in the day when she sees him. However, the Admiral sends
Harm away on an assignment for the rest of the day. Somewhat disappointed at not being able to
question him in person, Mac decides to wait until the next morning to ask if he brought the
flowers.
Tuesday 0800 AM JAG Headquarters
Walking through the parking lot, Mac notices that Harm's car is already parked. Wondering why
he's here so early, she heads for her office to put down her briefcase before looking for him. Mac
sits down her briefcase and decides to check her messages before heading off in search of her
missing partner, who was not in his office when she passed by. Reaching for the phone, Mac
notices a large heart-shaped box of chocolates on her desk. Momentarily forgetting about the
phone, she picks it up checking to see if this gift has a note attached. Finding none, she puts it
down and heads off in search of Harm to grill him about these gifts.
"So you made the reservations, right?"
"Yes, Friday night 1900 hours."
"Good, I ordered the flowers. We'll pick them up when we leave here Friday. "
"How's the other thing going?"
" I don't know. I know she got them, but I didn't hear a thing about it from her yesterday. I
expected at least...." Harm stops mid-sentence as Mac enters the break room where he and
Sturgis are discussing their Valentine's Day plans.
"Morning, Mac."
"Hi, Harm, Sturgis." Mac answers. "Harm, could I see you for a moment in my office?"
"Sure. I'll talk to you later Sturgis." Harm says following Mac into her office. "What did you
want to talk about?" Harm asks as they walk into the room.
"I think you know what I want." Mac replies.
"No, you're going to have to be a little more specific than that."
"Flowers, candy, they are from you aren't they?"
"Someone brought you flowers and candy, Mac. Got a secret admirer you don't know about?"
Mac sighs, "Are you really going to pretend that you didn't put them here?"
"I didn't put anything in your office." Harm says, thinking that it's a good thing he's enlisted a
little help with delivering the gifts.
"Fine, Harm. Have your Valentine's Day fun. Just don't do anything to weird. I don't want the
whole office talking about us again. Try to keep it a little quiet."
"Talking about us? Now why would they want to do something like that?" Harm questions,
grinning. "I promise that if I were the person putting things in your office I'd be careful not to let
every single person no about, but since I'm not, I really can't help you there. Maybe you'd better
figure out who wants to be your valentine." Harm says smiling. "Maybe he would like to take you
out instead of me."
"Trying to get out of our date?"
Harm shrugs, "No, I just want you to be free to do whatever you want. Besides, I've already
made the reservations.'
"Good, because I'm not letting you out of this one flyboy."
"Okay, well, I need to get back to work." Harm says backing out the doorway.
"Talk to you later."
1800 Mac's Apartment
"Hi, Harriet." Mac says as Harriet answers the phone.
"Hi, Mac."
"Everything okay? Bud and AJ doing alright?"
"Yes, everyone is fine."
"Great. Do you and Bud have plans for Friday?"
"He's taking me out to dinner."
"Good. Are you free on Thursday night, then? I thought we might have dinner and do a little
dress shopping for Friday?"
"Sounds like fun. I could use something new to wear to dinner."
"Okay, shall we go from the office, then?"
"Yes, that way I should still make it home in time for AJ's bedtime."
"Alright, well I see you tomorrow then."
"Bye."
"Bye."
1130AM JAG Headquarters
*knock* Harm opens the door to Mac's office and walks in. "Hey, you wanna get some lunch
with me."
"Sure, giving me just a minute to finish this up." Mac says looking up from her computer. She
types a few more things and then stands up grabbing her purse to follow Harm.
After they are seated with food, Mac says, "So, I think my secret admirer is tired of me already. I
haven't seen anything from him today."
"Well, the days only half over. Besides, I don't think I've seen you leave your office all morning.
When would anyone have time to leave you something? Maybe there will be something when we
get back from lunch." Harm asserted.
"So, who are you getting to put it there while you're here with me?" Mac asks.
"I'm not leaving you anything. Why don't you ever believe me?"
"I believe you sometimes just not when I know you're not telling me the truth. So, where are we
going Friday? Are we going by ourselves?"
"I told you that I'm not telling you anymore about Friday night." says Harm pretending to be
annoyed.
"I told you I wasn't giving up. Not even your little secret admirer gifts will make me give up. I
know there from you, I just can't prove it yet."
Glancing at his watch, Harm sighs, "Maybe we should head back."
"Okay," Mac says standing up.
Arriving back at Mac's office, they find a bag of candy hearts with child's dinosaur valentine
attached that says Be Mine. Mac smiles and offers to share the hearts with Harm as they work on
a few more routine case files.
Thursday 1900 Some restaurant
"Well, that was a productive shopping trip." Mac said.
"Yes, that dress really looks great on you. I'm glad we both found something to wear
tomorrow." Harriet replied.
"So, do you know where you and Bud are going?"
"Yes, he's taking me to a restaurant not too far from where we live at."
"Just you and he?"
"Yes, what about you and Harm?"
"I don't know where we're going or who's going with us. He won't tell me. In fact he's almost
been avoiding me this week so he won't slip up and tell me what he's got planned."
"Well, at least you know he's planning something. What about your gifts? Did you get
something new today? Any idea who they're from?" Harriet asks inquisitively.
"I found a valentine's day bear sitting in my chair when I came back from the restroom this
afternoon. That's the fourth present. As to who's sending them. I'm positive they're from
Harm. I really think he was just trying to make me stop asking him about Friday, but since I can't
imagine who else would be bringing me things, it's not really keeping my mind off it. Although, I
have been kind of curious to see what it would be everyday and how he would get it there without
my seeing it. I'm pretty sure he's got at least 1 person helping him since they sometimes arrive
while we're out of the office together."
"Does it really matter why he's doing it? You have to admit it's pretty sweet. Anyway, it's about
time the two of you did something normal together. Celebrating Valentine's Day together is
probably the closest thing to admitting how you feel, that the two of you have ever down."
"You're right, Harriet. Hopefully, tomorrow night will be an actual step forward for us instead of
a few more backwards."
"Well, we better be going if I'm going to get home before AJ is asleep."
"Okay Harriet."
To be continued
A/N: I promise to finish the last part and post it tomorrow. I intended to have the Valentine's
Day part up on V-Day, but life got in the way. I've been to busy with work, school, homework,
buying a new car, and visiting the chiropractor to get it finished. Sorry. Thanks for everyone
who's hanging in for the end. All feedback is very much appreciated.
