A/N: I wanted to have this up before now, and I am sorry I haven't gotten it up. This was suppose to be the end, but all my beta readers were begging for more after this....please, let me know your opinions. Do I keep writing, or end it here??? I would have had this up, but my dad has cancer, and had surgery yesterday.

Bud sat there looking at Sturgis with a dumfounded expression. "I can't believe she did that. Harriet is going to be upset she didn't know about this. My wife has been planning an engagement party for them for years now. Harriet is the hopeless romantic. And her pregnancy only makes it worse." Bud just shakes his head. His eyes catch the door opening and his wife walking in. Bud waves and she walks over to them.
"Hello Commander. How are you doing?"
"I am doing well Lutenient. How are you doing?"
"Oh, I am doing just ducky. Any word from the Admiral on the Commander or the Colonel?"
"I was just telling your husband that the Admiral informed us that they will be back tomorrow afternoon sometime."
"That is wonderful. I better start baking some things for them. Chances are neither one of them are going to feel like cooking tomorrow night then. Maybe they would just prefer coming over to our house and eating. You don't think that this whole ordeal has been something that finally drew them together do you?" Harriett was so excited, she could barely stop to take a breath.
Bud and Sturgis were laughing at her by the time she paused for her breath. "Honey, you are a hopeless romantic aren't you? And why don't you wait to talk to them before you start planning a welcome home party." Bud and Sturgis exchanged a glance before getting up. "Sturgis, we will see you later. I am sure my wife will be calling you about everyone getting together and welcoming the Commander and Colonel home." They shook hands and the couple walked out the door.
Mac and Harm looked at one another and Mac rolled her eyes. 'Just what we need, a party with everyone there.' Mac thought to herself.
Harm kept watching Sturgis, who got up and walked out the door a few minutes later. "Mac, I think we both learned something about each other that we should probably talk about. Lets go somewhere else to talk." With that, Harm grabbed his crutches and stood. Leaning over, he grabbed Mac's un-casted hand and pulled her to her feet. Then he just stood there, trying to figure out how to hold her hand while he worked his crutches. Finally, he weaved her fingers with the handle of his crutch between their hands. Steady on the crutches, the slowly made his way to the exit.

Ok, what does everyone think?? Please, tell me. Do I continue with this plot line, or do I stop here??
