The next morning 0638
When Mac awoke the next morning she yawned. Jenny had woken up twice during the night but luckily hadn't woken Harm.
Mac climbed out of bed and pulled her gown on as she looked over her daughter's sleeping form. She paced silently into the kitchen and proceeded to make coffee. She took the cup and curled up in the chair opposite Harm and sat watching him sleep.
She slowly sipped her coffee until he began to roll closer to the edge of the couch.
"Harm." She called out as he rolled off the couch onto the floor.
"Ow." He swore under his breath.
"Are you okay?" Mac asked crouching beside him.
"Yeah. What time is it?" He asked sleepily.
"0659." He pushed himself off the floor back onto the couch.
"Morning. I need coffee." He said as he began to focus. Mac went to the kitchen and returned quickly with a cup. "What happened?"
"You just rolled off the couch." He shot her a look. "You fell asleep, I put Jenny to bed when I woke up from my nap. I thought I might as well leave you where you were. You do look a bit crinkled though." He looked down at his crumpled uniform.
"I think I need to borrow your shower and an iron."
"Help yourself. Did you want some breakfast I was just about to make some?"
"Yeah. Toast please."
"Go and take your shower. I'll set up the ironing board for you and make breakfast."
"Thanks Mac."

"Shush honey." Mac paced up and down trying to calm Jenny from her tears.
"Let me try." Harm offered as he entered the room dressed in just a towel. Mac automatically gave herself a red light for the thoughts that were going through her head.
"Sure." She managed after she reminded herself she was a Marine and she could handle anything. "I've feed her and changed her diaper." Mac gently handed Jenny to Harm.
"Go and take a shower. We'll be fine won't we Jenny."
"That's I could do with one." A very cold shower she thought to herself, "Thanks Harm."

~ The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried.
You are my sunshine my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away.
I'll always love you and make you happy
If you will only say the same.
But if you leave me to love another,
You'll regret it all some day.
You are my sunshine my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine, uh, my sunshine away.
I'll always love you and make you happy
If you will only say the same.
But if you leave me to love another,
You'll regret it all some day.
You are my sunshine my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine, oh, my sunshine away.
You are my sunshine my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away.
You are my sunshine my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away. ~
"How come she never does that when I sing?" Mac asked as she dried her hair with a towel.
"She has good taste?" Harm offered.
"I'll ignore that, I'll take her while you go and iron your uniform. I wouldn't want you to turn up creased for work."
"You're all heart Mac." He joked.
"For that you can make your own breakfast." She teased. "Come on Jenny it's time to get dressed."

"Have a nice day at work." Mac said as she saw Harm out.
"I'll be back later, I'll bring dinner too."
"Okay. Say hi to everyone for me."
"Will do. Have a good day. Bye Mac."
"Bye Harm."
