The next day:

0830 Zulu

Harm's Apartment

North of Union Station

"Well, good morning gorgeous!"

"Mmm, I'm not up yet." She closed her eyes and snuggled into his warmth.

"Oh yes you are!" He poked her stomach.  She didn't do anything when he first poked her so he did it a few more times and she still didn't do anything.  He made his way to her side, knowing that would get her and he could see her trying to hold back a giggle, "Uh! I see a smile forming." He kept poking her rib and she started smiling, "Uh! I got a smile!" He poked her side and she bit her lip trying not to giggle or laugh, "Come on! I know you want to laugh!" He grinned and edged her on, encouraging her to laugh.  Finally he just flat out tickled her side.  She immediately burst into giggles and tried to squirm away, but he stopped tickling her, pulled her closer to snuggle with her, offering her a "Good morning, baby." And a kiss on the forehead. "You getting use to me tickling you?"

"No why?"

"Because you didn't react for a while."

"That's cause I was trying not to laugh.  I was just playing with you."

"Oh!" He laughed. "You should know that doesn't work with me."

She gave him a questioning look, "Why not?"

"Because I know exactly where and how ticklish you are."

"Yea, true." She laughed.  She snuggled into him.  "I don't want to get up, yet."

"Good cause neither do I." He absently played with her hair and drew patterns on her neck.

"That feels good."

"I always do this."

"I know and I love it so much.  It makes me feel special and beautiful."

"Awww! Well you are special and beautiful so you should feel that way."

"I only feel that way when I'm with you."

"Oh why, baby? You should feel that way all the time."

"Because you make me feel that way."

"That's because I love you."

"I love you too, Harm, and I'm so happy I have you in my life."

Harm gave her a sweet smile, "I have you in my life and I plan to for a while."

"Oh trust me, you will cuz I feel exactly the same way and I ain't leavin!"

With that said, they gave each other one of the sweetest kisses.

The End, hope you all like it!
