Mac opened the door and pushed the pram inside. It had been a long day and
her feet were aching.
"Where the hell have you been?" Harm snapped.
"Nice to see you too flyboy." Mac said.
"Well it's almost 2000?" He asked.
"Actually it's 1934. We went out for the afternoon and we just finished having dinner with your Mom. Besides which I did leave you a message saying I probably wouldn't be here when you go here."
"I was worried something had happened to you." He sank back on to the couch.
"We're fine. We just had a nice afternoon out, didn't we Jenny." Mac smiled and closed the door. "Actually we have something for you. It's a gift from Jenny." Mac opened her bag and drew out a box and handed it to him.
"What is it?" He questioned.
"It's a gift, something you usually get on your birthday or a holiday."
"Funny Mac, I know what a gift is. I wanted to know what this one specifically was."
"You'll just have to open it and see." She locked the break on the pram. She waited anxiously as he undid the ribbon and opened the box.
Harm slowly took out the triple photo frame and opened the hinges revealing three photos.
The first was a close up picture of Jenny in her naval outfit, which Mac had taken that morning.
The second was the picture of Harm asleep on couch with Jenny on his chest, which Mac had taken the night before.
The third picture was of Trish and Jenny stood in front of the Wall, which Mac had taken when they had gone out that afternoon.
Harm was speechless, he looked at Mac.
"Three generations of Rabbs. Besides you didn't have a picture for your desk yet."
"When did you take these?" He asked.
"I took that one last night, I thought you both looked so adorable and at peace," she pointed to the second picture. "We took that one earlier this afternoon, I thought Jenny should have a picture with her grandparents, I know how important family is to you."
"You know you're family too now."
"I know." He pulled her into a hug.
"Thank you."
"I've got some more pictures Trish and I took earlier if you'd like to see them."
"I'd like that, but hadn't we better get her to bed first?"
"She's asleep, leave her where she is for now, I'll put her in her crib when she wakes up." Mac took the envelope of photographs out of the bag and handed it to him. "I'm going to make some coffee do you want some?"
"I could I just have a glass of water instead."

"So what are we watching?" Mac yawned as she sat on the couch where Harm was watching a film on TV.
"I think you should go to bed."
"I haven't heard of that before, what are the reviews like?"
"Funny Mac. Go to bed, I'll go home."
"No it's fine. Jenny will want feeding in an hour I might as well stay up. So what is the film really called?"
"Lethal Weapon 4."
Twenty minutes later Mac had fallen asleep on his shoulder. Harm smiled as he watched her sleep. He carefully lifted her head and stood and gently scooped her up into her arms and carried her into her bedroom. He laid under the covers, he gently removed her shoes and placed them by the bed. He thought about removing the rest of her clothes but the thoughts that shot through his head stopped him. He pulled the blanket over her and gently kissed her forehead.
"Sweet dreams Mac."
He crept back into the other room, Jenny was still asleep in her pram. Harm thought for a second before grabbing a pen and writing Mac a note.
"Where the hell have you been?" Harm snapped.
"Nice to see you too flyboy." Mac said.
"Well it's almost 2000?" He asked.
