"We should have called and told them we would be later than one," Bud said as he unlocked the door of the house.
Harriet smiled at her husband. "They won't mind. Besides if we called, we would have woken one of the kids."
"True," Bud said as he opened the door.
Once inside, Bud helped Harriet out of her coat. Harriet looked towards the den where the glow of the TV could be seen. "See, they're watching a movie anyway."
Bud shrugged when Harriet walked into the den. "Sir, ma'am thanks so much for..." Harriet's words froze in her mouth as she looked upon her baby-sitters.
Bud walked in and gave Harriet a weird look as she smiled down at the couch. "Harriet."
"Shh." Harriet waved Bud over to stand in front of the couch. Bud walked over and chuckled softly at his superior officers, sound asleep on the couch. Harriet took into account that Mac was lying on top of Harm, her head resting on his shoulder. While Harm was holding her to him, one hand on her six and the other under the back of her shirt.
"Should we wake them?" Bud whispered.
"No, let them sleep." Harriet picked up a blanket off the chair next to the couch and she and Bud covered the sleeping pair. "They look so cute."
Bud turned off the TV, then lead Harriet out of the room. "Cute is not a word I would use around them when they are awake."
Harriet ran her hand down Bud's arm and kissed him softly. "Can I use cute to describe you then?"
"You better." Bud smiled before he kissed his wife. "I'll lock up, you go check on the kids."
"Okay, then I'll meet you in the bedroom," Harriet smiled.

"AJ Roberts, kitchen, now," Bud warned as he stood in the doorway to the den.
AJ stood in front of the couch, looking at his sleeping godparents. But as he heard his father he quickly walked over to him. "Daddy, why are Aunt Mac and Uncle Harm sleeping on the couch?"
"They fell asleep," Bud said as they walked into the kitchen.
AJ moved towards the table. "You don't let me sleep all night on the couch."
Bud looked over at Harriet who was feeding Jimmy. "You want to take this one?"
"No, honey you're doing fine." Harriet smiled and handed Jimmy to Bud. "I'll just go wake them up."
"Can I help Mommy?" AJ asked.
Harriet smiled. "No, baby. You need to eat your pancakes."
"Okay, Mommy," AJ shoved a pancake into his mouth.
Harriet walked into the den and laughed as she thought about how innocent Harm and Mac looked. She leaned down and gently shook their shoulder.
"Mmmm," they both responded and tried to ignore the annoying sense which was telling them to wake up.
"It's time to get up," Harriet cooed to them.
Finally Mac opened her eyes and lifted her gaze to see Harm so close, then she turned her head to see Harriet smiling next to them. She was about to say something when Harm opened his eyes and looked at Harriet.
"Good morning, kids, breakfast is ready," Harriet smiled before she left the den, chuckling to herself at the confused officers.
Mac turned her head and looked at Harm. "I think we fell asleep."
"We're getting too good at sleeping on couches. Maybe we should stay away from them," Harm said as they both sat up.
Mac yawned and stretched. "Nah, I thought we did some pretty good things last night on this couch."
Harm glanced over at her as she smiled softly. He then leaned over and quickly kissed her. "Good morning."
"Good morning," Mac kissed him, this time a little longer and with a little bit more passion. "This is a good way to wake up in the morning."
"You're telling me. We should do something about having this more often."
"Yeah, but how about a nice soft bed and not a couch," Mac commented.
Harm opened his mouth, but his words were lost as Harriet called, "Your breakfast is getting cold." They both chuckled as they rose and held hands to walk into the kitchen.
