Sunday 1132
"Mac?" Harm called as he looked round the house for her. He found her hanging washing on the line.
"Hi flyboy. Did you enjoy your run?" She asked as she kissed him.
"Yeah. I had a call on my cell I need to go to the airfield and check a few things out on Sarah, I thought maybe you and Jenny would like to come we could have a picnic?"
"I'd like that but I'm not sure about Jenny and the noise."
"She'll be fine. There is a field by the airstrip which is reasonably quiet you can set up the picnic there she should be okay, besides being around planes is in her genes she'll get used to it."
"Okay. Why don't you go and pack the food and I'll get Jenny ready?"
"Already done. I called at the deli on the way home."
"Organised, did you find anyone to go shopping with you yet?" She teased as she picked up the washing basket and the baby alarm.
"No, not since you called practically everyone I know and told them not to help me." He stated crossing him arms knowing he had already brought the ring the day before.
"Never mind, by the way you might want to shower before we leave." She said as she walked past him into the house.

The Airfield 12.07
"Why don't you set up over there?" He indicated the middle of the field, "I'll be there as soon as I can."
"Okay, come on Jenny, lets get comfy while Daddy plays with his little yellow bi-plane."
"I heard that."
"I know you were meant to." She called over her shoulder.

"Are you all set?"
"Yeah." Harm replied.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" The man tried to confirm.
"Definitely."
"Good luck, I'll see you when you get down then," He closed the plane door and backed away so it could prepare for take off.
"We're at ten thousand feet Commander, whenever you're ready." The pilot called to Harm.
"Thanks."

"Look Jenny some idiot jumped out of a plane." Mac said as she saw a parachute open and begin its gentle decent down to the ground. Mac watched as it got closer, "I think your Daddy picked the wrong place for us to sit." Mac said as she picked up Jenny in case she had to move out of the parachutist's way. "Ah sweetheart." Mac said as Jenny started to cry, "He's not going to hurt you. He's just flying the stupid way. You're Daddy flies planes they have big wings and at least some control over them, not like parachutes which only count on there being enough uplift to keep them in the air. See his feet will touch the ground in a few minutes by then hopefully Daddy will have finished looking at his plane and we can have lunch."
A minute later the parachutist touched down and quickly detached his shoot and made his way over to Mac.
"Harm?" Mac exclaimed as he knelt down.
"Sarah Mackenzie I love you. Marry me." He said holding out the ring box.
"Oh Harm. I love you too." Jenny cooed. "Jenny says I should say yes."
"She's smart."
"Of course I'll marry you big idiot, as long as you promise me one thing."
"What?"
"Never, ever jump out of a plane again."
"Ah, and here I was thinking I was being romantic."
"And I was here explaining to Jenny that only crazy people jump out of planes. It's a beautiful ring Harm, see what you can do if you put your mind to it."
"Do you want to put it on?" He asked as he sat next to her. Mac nodded as he slipped the ring onto her finger.
"It's perfect thank you." She said kissing him.
