Hey guys sorry it took me soo long to update. Schools been nuts and track isn't making it any easier, but now I'm out sooo that shouldn't be a problem. I hope to update more often and not leave everyone hanging. Disclaimer: Nope...not mine....I'm baby sitting for a living!!!!!

Oh just wanted to say thank you for all of the reviews, especially the ones I got recently and a special thanks to my beta reader Jenny. (I feel like I'm at the grammys) (

On with the story....

On the road

I got Mac two Beltway burgers and a white rose that will be put in the fold of the greasy burger bag. I hope this works!!!' As Harm pulled up next Mac's car he picked up the bag unrolled it then rolled it again with the rose in the center. As he knocked on the door he put the bag behind his back so he could surprise Mac.

"Hey sailor you're early" She said with a small smile.

'Well at least she's not pissed' "I brought some Beltway burgers" He said as he showed her the bag.

"Is that supposed to be a white flag?" she asked pointing at the rose.

'Please let it work...please, "Yes, do you accept it?"

I love watching him squirm' "Do I get a choice?

"If you want you want your burgers you don't" Oh good she's not that mad at me'

"Then I accept. Now give me that before I have to hurt you, and while I'm eating you can tell me about Mattie" 'and hopefully I didn't make a mistake by letting her go on a date'

"Well, you know how after the CIA fired me I was crop dusting. Well the owner is a 14 year old girl named Mattie Grace whose mother died and father is a drunk, and she's now living on her own. So I told her that I would take custody of her, and right now I'm in the middle of the whole custody process"

"And you were going to tell me this when?" She asked a little calmer than she wanted to.

"Well in all honesty I was sure but I was planning on telling you at lunch today, but plans sort of got altered." he said very humbly because the truth was he had no clue when he was going to tell her or any one else for that matter. He knew he wanted Mac to know first but Mattie obviously beat him to the punch line.

"Oh" Mac said accepting this information, as she threw away the rest of her garbage from the belt way burgers. Guess you should tell him now marine,' "Well good then I don't feel so bad about telling her she could go on her date."

"WHAT!!!" Harm said out of complete shock, "You told her she could go on a date!!!! You didn't even ask me first or what my rules are....." Harm kept rambling on

"Harm!" this caught his attention he shut up. Thank God!' "Calm down the date's not even until Friday and it's only Tuesday, so that means that you have two days to talk to her about it and then me and her have to go shopping for an outfit. And don't forget you also have to introduce me to her too"

"Mac."

"Yes."

"You know if anyone else would have done this I would never forgive them but for some reason you seem to break all of rules and find every exception in my rule book." He said looking at her with those deep blues eyes that she could easily get lost in.

"So does that mean you forgive me?" She asked seductively, as she was finding her way towards Harm's arms.

"I'll forgive you but you'll have to pay a price" he said lost in her brown orbs.

She was now mere inches away form him, "What kind of price?"

With his mouth merely millimeters from hers he replied "A kiss wouldn't be a bad start," and the gap between them closed as it turned into a much heated and very passionate kiss.

When they finally parted Mac laid her head on his chest and listened to his heartbeat. He then lifted her face with his finger so her eyes could meet his and another kissed was formed but this one was a littler slower. Mac felt her hands go up his shirt touching every muscle in his back. She then felt her shirt being lifted by his hands which were on her back as well. The next thing she knew they were sitting down on her couch making out like teenagers in the middle of the night. Then out of nowhere there was an abrupt knock on the door.

"Damn it!" Mac said loud enough for only Harm to hear. "You should get that" Harm said disappointedly

As Mac was making herself presentable and making sure Harm was too, she answered the door.

"Harriet?"

"Ah, hi ma'am I didn't wake you did I?" she asked worried she made a mistake.

"No come in Harm and I were just talking about our case, come in." if that's what you want to call it'

"Oh I hope I didn't interrupt anything, it's just that Jimmy has a fever of 101 and we have to take him to the hospital and I was wondering if you could watch little AJ tonight. Harriet asked nervously

"Calm down Harriet, sure I could watch AJ, bring him in"

"Ok just let me go down to the car and get him and his stuff, and I'll be right back." With that Harriet hurried out the door and down the steps to go get little AJ and the things he would need for that night.

"Well do you want me to get going or help you with AJ?" Harm asked unsure on what to do.

"Stay here it's too late for you to be driving home anyway," even though it was only 2400 "Plus I could use some help with AJ" She said in hope that would be a good enough reason to let him stay.

"Ok I'll stay" he said happy that he didn't have to leave.

Right then Harriet came up the stairs with a sleeping AJ in one arm, and his stuff in a bag in the other. "Here are all of the things you need and everything you need for tomorrow. The daycare center address that he goes to is right here and oh and do you think you could make him breakfast I forgot to bring cereal I'm sorry." Harriet said as she was in a rush to get back in the car.

"Don't worry about it Harriet we can take care of it," Harm took the sleeping boy from his mother's arms and took him to "Chloe's room."

"Thank you so much. Well I better get going thanks again." And with that Harriet rushed down the stairs back to the car to take Jimmy to the Hospital.

"Well AJ is sleeping."

"Ok I guess we should get to bed, you can sleep in my bed."

"Where are you going to sleep?"

"My bed, where do you think?" She asked with a laugh, "We can be good right?"

"I can't make any promises?" he said knowing that this would be fun"

"Come on flyboy lets get to bed before you crash and burn"

"Very funny marine" And with that they both went to bed Harm holding his favorite marine and Mac in her flyboys arm. They both slept happier than the ever have in the past.

Well there it is. Sorry it took so long. Now that school is over I will do my best to update more often. Since I haven't updated lately it will take me a while to get the story up to speed with the show, but I promise I will. And as always PLEASE REVIEW!!! Any ideas are greatly appreciated
