"Hi." Harm said as he let himself into Mac's apartment.
"Hi, are you hungry?"
"Sure. What are we having?" He asked placing his brief case by the door.
"Pasta something or other, it's vegetarian. Your Mom bought it while she was out. It will take a few minutes to heat it up, do you want a drink?"
"Water please." He sat on a stool while she busied herself preparing dinner. "So did Jenny behave herself?"
"She had a crying fit for a few hours earlier, she's asleep now but she'll probably wake up hungry in an half an hour or so."
"So what did Mom buy Frank?"
"I'm not sure, I don't think she bought anything yet. How did your meeting go?" She asked as she stirred the pasta, which only needed heating through.
"I got the charges dropped. Which was a definite improvement on my morning."
"Civilian lawyers. Just remember to keep your attitude in check, being a fighter pilot doesn't impress or intimidate civilian lawyers, the way it does with some Naval lawyers."
"Do you think I'm intimidating?" He asked cautiously.
"I know you too well to find you intimidating Harm. Besides which I've seen you with Jenny and AJ, after that even if I remotely thought you were intimidating that thought would have dissipated." Mac got two plates out and put them on the counter.
"Nice to know."
"I think someone is awake." Mac said as she ate the last mouthful of pasta.
"I'll get her." Harm offered getting to his feet.
"Thanks." Mac yawned.
"Why don't you go to bed I give her, her bath and a bottle?" He offered.
"Are you sure?" She asked yawning again.
"Yes. Go and sleep, Jenny and I'll be fine."
"Remember to support her head, and burp her after you give her her bottle, which you need to test on your wrist to make sure it isn't too hot."
"I know. We can cope can't we Jenny."
"Wake me if you can't cope."
"Mac, go to sleep as you insist on telling me you won't any use to anyone if you're half asleep."
"Thank you. I'll see you later." She kissed the top of Jenny's head.

Mac slowly opened her eyes, her internal clock told her it was 2347. Something was wrong, she hadn't heard Jenny cry and Harm would have woken her if he was leaving.
She slowly crept out of the bedroom and into the living room.
"Harm?" She whispered she stopped when she saw him curled up on the couch with Jenny laid gently on his chest, fast asleep. She smiled and walked to a drawer and quietly took out her camera and took a picture. She placed the camera back in the drawer.
She gently picked Jenny up, careful not to wake Harm and carried her and placed her into her crib and tucked her in. The baby stirred but didn't wake up.
She walked back into the living room and gently pulled the blanket from the back of the couch and laid it over Harm. She lent down and kissed his forehead.
"Night flyboy." She whispered before heading back to her bedroom and bed.
"Hi, are you hungry?"
