Chapter 4: Mystery Guest
An hour after they had signed the adoption papers, Mac and Harm picked up a car seat and a baby back pack ( you know those things that can be worn in front or in back to hold the baby). They went back to Mac's place, took her corvette, and went to the car dealership to trade in her vette. (I know some of you were worried about this, but I promise there is a reason for this). As they pulled up, the car dealer, noticed and walked towards them. Mac had Bella in the baby backpack, in front of her chest. The car dealer watched as Mac gracefully got out of the car as he took in her beautiful looks. Harm saw the dealer looking at Mac, and glared back, before going over to Mac and Bella, and placing his arm around Mac. The dealer got the hint, but still came over with a seller's smile. "May I help you folks," he asked coming over and soon noticing the baby. "Actually we're looking to trade in the vette for something a little bigger," said Mac gesturing to Bella. "Ofcourse, did you have anything in mine," he asked? "Maybe a mini van," Mac suggested. "Ma'am I don't mean to be forward, but you don't look like the kind of woman who should be driving a mini van. What about an SUV," the man suggested. Harm looked a little peeved. "Mac, it's up to you. Whatever you think is best," Harm said smiling at her. Unknown to Harm, Mac had seen the dealer checking out Mac and quickly thought up a plan. "Well I don't know Harm, do we plan on having more children," she asked winking at him. Harm looked a little surprised, but decided to play along. "I don't know Sarah, maybe we should "discuss" that tonight," said Harm raising his eyebrows. The dealer seemed clearly embarassed, but walked them through the rest of the lot.
"So which one do you like best Mac?" Harm asked as they arrived back from the tour of the car lot. "I think I like Honda CR-V best, it has that sporty look, yet it's big enough to accomodate all of us, including a diaper bag, toys, grocerys, and a car seat," said Mac. "I agree. It's perfect for you Mac, we'll take it Sir," said Harm looking over at the dealer and smiling at him.
Later that night, Mac awakened alone in Harm's bed, yes she is wearing clothes and no they did not have sex, I promise when they do you will be aware of it! Mac got out of bed her silk night gown falling the full length of her body. Suddenly hearing a sound coming from the living room, she walked out, and stood silently smiling at the sight before her. There stood Harm, in his pajama bottoms and a navy sweat shirt, singing and gently swaying with Bella held to his chest. He seemed to feel her eyes on him because his eyes looked up and locked onto her loving gaze. "Hey, I was getting a little worried there," Mac whispered coming towards them. "Bella woke up and I thought it'd be nice if I got her for a change. Give you the chance to sleep," Harm said smiling. "You think there's enough room for me in those arms Commander," she asked teasingly. "What do you think Bella? Should we let mommy dance with us," Harm asked the small sleepy baby. "I don't think she minds,"said Harm. He opened up his arm, in invitation. Mac stepped into his embrace and began rubbing Bella's back softly, as the three of them swayed to the music and quietly hummed along.
After they put Bella back to bed, the two of them lay awake on opposite sides of the bed. "Harm, are you awake," she asked? "Yeah, is something wrong," he asked? "No, I guess I'm just a little nervous about meeting your mom and Frank tomorrow. I mean does she really know who her son is raising her grand child with? I came from an abusive home, where drinking was involved, what if she thinks I'll be abusive,"? Mac asked worriedly. Harm quickly turned on the light beside him and turned to face her. "Mac my mother only has the highest respect for you. She knows that you've put your past behind you and she respects you for that. She also knows that you keep my six in line and your the woman who risked her life to finally find out what happened to her husband, my mother loves you Mac, even though she hasn't even met you. Do you know that she asks me how you are everytime I talk to her," Harm said looking at her seriously. Mac looked at him surprised. "Really,?" she asked. "Really," he took her hand, " Mac I promise you, that my mother holds you in the highest pedestal available. It'll be fine, I promise," he said squeezing her hand. He leaned over and hugged her. Mac smiled at him as they parted and settled back under the covers. Harm turned out the light as they settled in, not knowing the surprise that was in store for them.
The next morning they were up early. Mac went through four outfits before finally deciding on a pair of jeans and nice red sweater. As she came out of the bath room, she saw Harm, struggling to put on Bella's outfit. "Here let me help," she said coming towards him. She buttoned up the last of it, slipped on her little booties, and then placed a little white hat on her head. Harm took the opportunity to take in Mac's beautiful appearance. "You look great Mac," he said nodding appreciatively. "Thanks, so do you. Are you all set," she asked nervously? He nodded his head as they got Bella's things together and headed for the car.
A half hour later, they were waiting anxiously to see Harm's parents. Harm glanced over at a very nervous Mac, who was gently bouncing Bella in her back pack carrier. Suddenly Harm spotted his mother. "There she is Mac," he said hurrying towards his mother. Harm wrapped his strong arms around his mother and hugged her tightly. Then gestured with his hand to Mac for her to come forward. Nervously she came. "It's now or never Bella," said Mac as they walked towards them. "You didn't do her enough justice Harm, she's even more beautiful in person," said Trish. Harm took Bella for a moment so his mother could hug Mac. "Thank you for taking such good care of my son," Trish whispered in her ear. "No, thank you for giving him to me," said Mac as she pulled away from Trish just enough so Trish could see the seriousness in her expression. "Where's Frank mom," Harm asked handing Bella back to Mac. Before Trish could answer, Frank came forward, holding large gift bags and an elderly woman on his other arm. "He's right here, he just had to help an old woman with the gifts she bought for her great grand daughter," said the woman. "Grandma Sarah," said Harm in disbelief. Mac looked surprised as well, as she finally came face to face with the other Sarah in Harm's life.
