Friday 1923
"Mac?" Harm called as he closed the front door behind him.
"Harm?" Mac said running down the stairs.
"Hey Ninja-girl did you miss me?" He asked as he pulled Mac into a hug.
"Like you wouldn't believe." Harm kissed the top of her head.
"I miss you too. Jenny in bed?"
"She fell asleep a few minutes ago."
"How's she been?" He asked releasing her.
"She's fine now."
"Now?" He questioned.
"There's something I didn't tell you. Jenny got a viral infection, she's better now."
"She's better now?" He repeated.
"Yes, although she spent last weekend in the hospital because her fever spiked on Friday."
"She was in the hospital, why the hell did you call me I would have been on the first plane back."
"They said she was going to be okay and she is, I didn't call you because you were doing your job and as much as I wanted you here, the Navy doesn't work like that. You have to go where you are ordered to go and do what you're ordered to do and I can't interfere with that."
"But this is Jenny we're talking about, screw the Navy. Mac I would have wanted to be here."
"Harm, you can't disobey orders, that why people end up needing JAG representatives and end up in my court room and I wasn't going to let you wreck you're career. If it had been anything more serious I would have called you in a heartbeat."
"You weren't at a baby shower were you?"
"No, and I'm sorry I lied to you, it seemed necessary."
"Mac, how am I suppose to trust you if you don't tell me the truth, I thought we were supposed to be in this together, for better or worse and all that. Jenny is my daughter too and you can't keep cutting me out and using our jobs as an excuse. It won't work if you keep pushing me away."
"I know." Mac mumbled.
"So why do you keep doing it?" Harm asked.
"I don't know." She said after a minute.
"You know I'm not going anywhere right? I love you and Jenny, you're my life, you're more important to me than the Navy." Mac nodded. "But we're going to work this out Mac."
"I know." "Right now I need a shower but we'll talk this through when we're done."
Mac nodded. "I'm sorry."
"I know." Harm kissed her on the forehead before going upstairs.
"Mac?" Harm called as he closed the front door behind him.
