Title: A New Life Author: JAGgedIverson Rating: (right now) PG Summary: Just a continuation of AGBF. My take on what happened in Mattie's and Jen's apartment after the camera cut out.

A/N: Just so you know I don't like how they ended the episode, so in my story Meredith did not sleep with that dude.

Mattie & Jen's apartment North of Union Station

Harm stood in the threshold of the room watching the scene in front of him. Mattie had captured both Mac's and Jen's attention by telling them a story about something that happened at school. He was relieved that Coates agreed to Mattie's roommate. Now Mattie was closer to him and she could have her own, and very much needed, space. Of course, this arrangement was only temporary. He was keeping an eye out for two bedroom houses in the suburbs. Regardless of what Mattie said, he knew the city was not a place to raise a kid. She may think she'd had enough of the country, but the city was an entirely different world. It wasn't that he didn't think she could take it, he knew she was tough; it was the fact that he wasn't just thinking about Mattie. He was thinking about his future children. The children he would have with Mac. No, not Mac. Sarah

Mac. Sarah. Two entirely different people; yet they were the same. Mac, the hard-core, kick-ass, tough-as-nails- marine. Sarah, the intelligent, caring, loyal, and tender woman. They were both beautiful in their own way. The way Mac attacked a case with everything she had was one of the most amazing things he had ever seen. No matter what anybody told her, she would fight to win and find justice. But when he went to Russia to look for his father, it wasn't Mac who followed him it was Sarah. It was Sarah who had made sure he wouldn't get himself killed trying to speak Russian. It was Sarah who stopped form getting on that train, granted it was also the fact that they got caught, but she was the main reason. Mac and Sarah. Two entirely different personalities wrapped up in one unbelievably beautiful package. And he loved both.

"Hey Flyboy, you gonna stand there all night or are you gonna make me that dinner you promised?" Mac asked, breaking through his thoughts.

Harm smiled and head for the kitchen. When he opened the fridge he was appalled to find there was only a carton of milk, a box of what looked to be Girl Scout cookies, a bag of mini-recess peanut butter cups, and one apple. He closed the fridge and headed back out to the living room.

"Mattie, I thought I told you to go to the grocery store today."

Mattie looked at Harm, then at Coates and said, "I knew there was something we forgot." She turned back to Harm and said, "I'll go tomorrow."

Harm looked down at his watch and said, "No, I'll go now."

"Would you like some company?" Mac asked, already getting up.

"Sure." Harm smiled and ushered her out of the apartment.
