"Hey honey, I'm home." Harm called as he entered the house, it was raining
outside and he hadn't take an umbrella as the weather forecast he'd watched
the previous evening had told them to expect dry weather.
"Someone's been watching too much 'I Love Lucy' Well don't you look like a drowned rat." Mac said with a smile. "You should go and get out of those wet clothes before you catch pneumonia and run in my surprise."
"And what surprise would that be?" He asked wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her to him. "'Cos Lucy you got some 'xplaining to do'"
"Definitely too much TV for you." She kissed him. "Now you're getting me all wet."
"No I might just have to get you out of those clothes before you catch pneumonia." He said tugging her shirt out of her waistband.
"I think you're getting a little randy there Commander." She said with a smile. "But I was just about to give Jenny her bath. Since you're home and you're already wet you can do it and I'll order Chinese takeaway."
"But I get to finish what I started right?" He asked.
"Hell yeah." She kissed him before he released her. Mac nodded to where Jenny was sat in her bouncy chair.
"Hey sweetheart." Harm said plucking her out. "Mommy says it's time for your bath. Shall we go and play with rubber ducky."
"Be careful she's seems to have developed a squid like tendency to splash." Mac teased.
"See I knew you preferred the Navy." He whispered before he started to carry her upstairs.
"Hey I heard that." Mac called over her shoulder as she picked up the phone and the take away menu.
"That's what I get for agreeing to marry a Marine." Harm mumbled.
"I heard that too." Mac said from the bottom of the stairs. "But you wouldn't have me any other way right?"
"Not likely." He called back.

"So what's this surprise?" He asked as they curled up eating the Chinese food. Jenny was asleep in bed.
"I didn't spend all your pay check." She said with a smile. "But I did get Jenny some cute outfits. One even has little airplanes on them."
"That's good. So that's the big surprise?" He asked.
"No. Trish and Frank are coming out for the weekend."
"Any specific reason or does she just want to see Jenny?"
"I'm sure she'd like to see you too squid. They're coming to baby-sit for the weekend."
"And why would they do that?" Harm inquired.
"Because I called her and asked if she'd mind coming and looking after her granddaughter for the weekend."
"Why what's happening this weekend?" He asked.
"I called Dr Jordon and rescheduled my appointment. I think we need to talk about everything and I thought the best place to do it would be away from here."
"It's a nice idea, but I might have to work this weekend."
"No you don't. I went and saw the Admiral while I was at Jag, he said you can have the weekend off. I've only got misdemeanours to hear for the next two days that they could figure out plea bargains for."
"Well you've had a busy day."
"By the way we have to let the Admiral know a few days before we tell everyone else when we set a date so he can win the office pool and I asked him if he'd give me away too."
"So you bribed an Admiral so we could get the weekend off?"
"No he said you could have the weekend off before that. The date thing was sort of an apology for Jenny dribbling down his shirt. I was always going to ask him to give me away."
"So where are we going?" He asked.
"That's a secret. Now I seem to remember you had an interesting idea when you got home."
"I don't seem to recall any interesting ideas maybe you'll have to refresh my memory."
"I think that can be arranged."
"Someone's been watching too much 'I Love Lucy' Well don't you look like a drowned rat." Mac said with a smile. "You should go and get out of those wet clothes before you catch pneumonia and run in my surprise."
