Wrapped Up in You

Thanks for the reviews! Here's the next chapter! :)

Mac awoke the next morning with an unfamiliar warmth surrounding her. She opened her eyes to find herself staring into Harm's sleeping face. 'What a way to wake up!' Mac thought to herself as she smiled, and snuggled in closer. Harm felt this movement, and reluctantly opened his eyes to see Sarah Mackenzie staring up into his face.

"Well good morning!" Harm smiled as he traced her cheek with his finger.

"Good morning to you too." Mac leaned in and kissed his nose.

"I could get used to this...waking up like this every morning." Harm smiled, and pulled Mac even closer to him. He kissed the top of her head, and whispered into her hair. "I love you Sarah. I love you so much." Mac sat up an looked into his eyes.

"I love you too. I always have, and I always will." Mac curled back into his arms, and sighed contently. They lay like that for a few moments until Mac sat up suddenly.

"Sarah? What's wrong?"

"Harm, it's 0937 local."

"Yeah, so?"

"Harm, it's Thursday, we are supposed to be at work."

"Oh crap." Harm stood up, and stretched. Just then the phone rang. "Rabb." he answered.

"Damnit Rabb. Where the hell are you?!?" Admiral A.J. Chegwidden yelled into the phone.

"I'm sorry sir, my alarm clock didn't go off this morning. I just woke up. I'll be out the door in 15 minutes."

"Fine. Have you heard from Colonel Mackenzie? She isn't here either, and she's not answering her phone." A.J. heard silence for a moment.

'He wants to know if I heard from you.' Harm mouthed.

'Tell him no. Make up something.' Mac mouthed back as she ran downstairs to get her spare uniform from the car.

"Sir, I haven't heard from her since yesterday at the office. I'm sure she's on her way. Try her cell phone."

"That I will do Rabb. You had better be here by 1025, or I will have your ass on a plate. Understood!"

"Aye-Aye sir." Harm hung up as Mac came back in with her uniform.

Back at JAG HeadQuarters, A.J. hung up the phone and grinned as he leaned back in his chair. "It's about damn time." He chuckled as he closed his eyes. "I'm still gonna give them hell, just to test them."
Harm looked at Mac as he grabbed his uniform out of the closet. "Go ahead and get in the shower real quick. I don't need one, I'll just wet my hair and comb it." Mac smiled and went toward the bathroom. Harm heard the water turn on and he smiled at the thought of Sarah in his shower. He wet his hair from the sink, and grabbed his comb from the bedside table. He fixed his medals and put on his uniform as the water stopped running in the shower. He straightened Mac's medals on her uniform and then looked up to see Mac, standing in the doorway in only a towel. She smiled as Harm blinked, making sure that he wasn't seeing things again, like after he fell out of the Admiral's chair.

"Harm? Are you ok?" Mac laughed as she waved her hand in front of his face.

"Yeah, I just can't believe you are really here. I've waited for this for so long." He leaned in to kiss her.

"Easy flyboy. Anymore of that, and we'll never get to work." Mac laughed and shooed him out so she could dress. She came out of his room in uniform as her cell phone rang. "Mackenzie." Mac answered in an aggravated tone.

"Colonel. Where are you?" the Admiral asked.

"Oh sir, I'm sorry. My car wouldn't start, so I had to fix it. I just got it to work, and my hands are covered in oil. I've gotta go wash them, and then I'll be on my way."

"Ok, Colonel. Just call next time."

"Will do sir." Mac hung up and slid on her shoes.

"Well gee Ninja-Girl. He went easy on you. You could hear him through the phone when he was yelling at me." Harm smiled.

"You just need to know how to work him." Mac laughed and smacked his arm. "Now let's go flyboy!" Harm and Mac grabbed their covers and headed out to their cars.
