Livin' the High Life
*Chapter 4*
The next day Mac called Harriet, Jenn, Chloe and Meredith in a conference call to discuss the possibility of a ladies night out. They all thought it was an exceptional idea. Mac and Chloe would fly out to Washington, DC and spend the night at Harriet's house after prowling the town. "We can all go to a restaurant and order virgin Mai Tais and get really hopped up on sugar and act like we're drunk", Meredith said.
Chloe especially liked the idea but so did everyone else. So it was set. They were going to meet at Meredith's and the Admiral's at 5pm on November 4th. They'd arrive back at Harriet's at midnight and spend the night there. They also decided that they'd dump Clark, little AJ and James with the "men". This was going to be so perfect.

The next week came their first day of work at the second headquarters at JAG. There were a lot of new faces in the bullpen. The bullpen itself looked like a clone from the one back in Maryland. Everything was the same except for one person.
"Gunny", Mac exclaimed wholeheartedly. Then she did a double take to his uniform. "Hey nice promotion Major", she added.
Gunny beamed before answering. "Yeah, they bribed me with a promotion so I'd come back to Jag.er the new Jag that is", he told Harm and Mac.
"Well, I guess calling you Gunny isn't appropriate any more, what would you like us to call you now?" Harm asked jokingly.
"How about Lord Master of the Universe", Gunny suggested with a laugh.
"No, too long how about Dooface", Harm suggested back.
Gunny wrinkled his nose at Harm as Mac pulled him towards their new office. When they opened the door, they saw that there was only one desk in the room. "Shotty!" Mac yelled. Just then, Mac and Harm's two new Yeomen entered the room.
"I'm petty officer Eric McInnes", said the shorter one announced.
"And I'm Ensign Dan Kimber", the other one retorted.
"Uh, where is my desk?" Harm asked, well rather he whined. He scratched his head as he looked around. Surely the room was large enough to fit another one.
"Yes sir, well uh, um, Admiral Chedwidden didn't notify us properly about the prospect of having two COs. But I can assure you, there will be a second desk promptly", Kimber answered skittishly. I guess he was kind of frightened by Harm.
After work, Harm and Mac were lying in bed, watching the ocean's waves when Mac noticed that Harm was still sulking. "I'm not going to work tomorrow, I hate it here, I want to go back to Falls Church", Harm told Mac.
"Why, we just moved here, I don't want to go back, I like it here Harm", Mac told him.
"I know, that's why you can stay here with Clark on the week days, and I come visit you on weekends", Harm said.
"NO!" Mac screamed. "We moved here so we could start a new life, to expand our family", Mac started. "Just last week we were talking about having another kid, now you're telling me you want to go back to how it used to be", Mac said. "If you want to go back to Falls Church, you have to go by yourself, no Husband of mine will live in a different town while I'm living in Seattle", Mac kept on. Something in Mac's head just snapped. "Harmon Rabb Jr. just LEAVE", Mac screamed as she pointed towards the door.
Harm didn't say a word as he packed his bags. About fifteen minutes later, he left the house and got into his Lexus and tore down the block.
TBC (Duh). Okay, so all's not well in Paradise. But is it ever? Don't worry, it'll get better. I just need some turmoil so it doesn't get boring. So yeah, I gotta go to bed. I have to get up at 5:30 tomorrow. Bye From: Amanda
