Livin' the High Life
*Chapter 3*
The first night in their new home was tiresome. Harm and Mac were exhausted after unloading and unpacking half of their possessions. Clark fell asleep long before dinner and Mac put him to bed promptly.
Now Harm and Mac were in their bed cuddling. They were both half- asleep when the phone rang. It was Chloe. "Hey Harm, guess what I'm moving to Seattle", she said after Harm answered the phone. "One of my great-aunts agreed to take care of me until I'm old enough to live on my own and she lives in Seattle", she finished.
"Well that's great Chloe, now its easier for Mac and I to see you, maybe you can spend a weekend or two together after you move", Harm said. "We can go see a Seahawks game, or go to the Pike Place Market, I bet Mac would love that", Harm planned.
"Yeah, and you could take me to the aviation museum over by Boeing Field", Chloe answered. Harm and Chloe kept making plans long after Mac drifted off to sleep. Harm conked out as soon as his head his the pillows.
The next morning they decided to go for a walk around the neighborhood, in order to get to know the area. Clark was in his stroller, Mac was pushing and Harm was getting hit in the head by the low hanging branches as they walked past the zoo.
"Monkeys!" Clark yelled as they passed the entrance sign with the monkeys on it. Harm and Mac looked at each other as if to silently discuss the possibility of going to the zoo. When they both agreed, they bought their tickets and proceeded to view the animals.
They came across the wolf exhibit and Clark screamed "Puppy dog". Harm and Mac just smiled each other.
"Maybe its time to get a dog", Harm whispered to Mac so Clark wouldn't hear.
"Maybe its time to have another kid", Mac answered back. Harms face lit up with a smile that had to be an eight on the Rabb smile scale.

Later that night.....
"So do you really want to have another child?" Harm asked Mac after Clark had gone to bed. Harm and Mac were sitting on the chesterfield reading and the thought of having another child was nagging in the back of Harm's mind until finally he had to ask.
"Yes I do", Mac answered without looking up from her book. "Do you have a problem with that Harm?" Mac quipped.
"I'd never argue with a Marine", Harm answered as Mac gave him a light kick.
"Too bad you never followed your own advice until now!" Mac pointed out.
"Yeah well, now is a good time to start as any, but lets wait to have another child until we get settled at work", Harm advised. Mac sighed as she went up to their bedroom so she could go to bed.
, Mac though to herself. Work was going to be stressful. They were scheduled to start the week before but the construction on the office's interior hadn't been completed yet.
Mac was kind of anxious to get back to work. It was good to spend this much time with Clark, but Harm was beginning to get on her nerves. Their marriage wasn't in jeopardy or anything; she just needed a little breather from him. That's when she got the best idea she's ever had since her bachlorette party.
LADIES NIGHT OUT!
TBC. Thanks Sancti for responding. The idea for the house came from my trip to Seattle. That's my favorite place in the US even though I've only been to Seattle, Portland, Honolulu and Anaheim. There's a whole bunch of really cool old-fashioned houses. I also know that Harm likes to do his own renos from the time he TRIED to fix Harriet's refrigerator. So yeah, back to what's coming next. Ladies night out! I know exactly what's going to happen, but I'm not going to tell you. Ha ha.SUCKER! Just kidding! From: Amanda AKA JagSister.
