"So where do we go from here?" Harm asked as he finally stopped kissing
Mac.
"We've got a house and a daughter so I'd say we take things slowly and see where that gets us." She suggested.
"How slow is slowly?" Harm inquired.
"Can we just take it one step at a time? I know living together is a huge step and with Jenny and everything."
"We can go as slow as you need to Mac. But please tell me I'm still allowed to kiss you."
"Oh I think it's going to be a requirement flyboy. Make that an edict, if you stop I'll have you up in court before you can think about it."
"Is that so?" He teased kissing her neck.
"Umm, definitely. I think someone woke up." Mac said as she heard Jenny cry.
"I'll go and get her you'd better finish looking around because I'm taking you both out to dinner."
"Anywhere nice?" Mac called over her shoulder.
"I could probably find somewhere."
"Can't we just get a pizza or Chinese on the way home?"
"We are home."
"I know that but Jenny really needs to be put down for a decent nap and her pram is a little small for that."
"Anything you want Mac."
"I might hold you to that." She teased. "I'll be upstairs."

"You're.. What's the word? Chirpy this morning." Sturgis commented. "What happened?"
"Nothing much. Mac told me she loved me that's all."
"I'm happy for you. But I could have told you that along time a go."
"Really?" Harm questioned.
"Of course. Do you remember those conversations we had about how 'personal' you and Mac were?"
"Yeah. That was a while ago though."
"I know. But she told me she loved you then, but she made me promise not to say anything."
"I thought you were my friend. Friends shouldn't keep thing like that from each other, it would have definitely been easier if I'd known sooner."
"Hey, I promise and there was no way I was going to have an angry Marine after me. No offence but Mac can be pretty scary if you get on the wrong side of her."
"She's not that bad, you just have to know how to handle her."
"I'll leave that to you I think Harm. One other question, how are you going to handle being up in court in front of her?"
"I'll treat her like I treat every judge we come across."
"Really and how's that?" Sturgis inquired.
"With a pinch of salt."
"Have a nice time sleeping on that couch of yours." Sturgis said with a chuckle.
"No need got a spare room." Harm's phone rang. "Rabb."
"I'll talk to you later." Sturgis whispered, Harm nodded.
"I have time around 1500, but it'll have to at JAG I've got a deposition schedule for 1630.. I'll see you then. Yes sir, I understand."
"We've got a house and a daughter so I'd say we take things slowly and see where that gets us." She suggested.
