Author's Note: See I told you the story wasn't over I mean Harm and Mac can't get away with everything and I thought it would just be a bit more nonsense and so this chapter and the following one are that nonsense. Hope you enjoy!

Mac's Apartment

Monday

"Wow Mac! That was… wow!" Harm said turning his head on the pillow to face her. She propped up on her elbow and giggled.

"So I left you speechless."

"Oh yeah. You sure that this isn't part of your relaxing day?"

"No but now that you mention it, I just might have to add it on. It certainly is a perk." Mac leaned over him and traced lazy circles on his chest with her fingernail.

"You know I love you, right?" Harm sighed and she stopped tracing circles.

"Well I certainly hope you do, because I don't give friends these kind of favors, if it can be called that." Mac kissed Harm softly and added.

"I love you too. I could spend the day just like this with you in fact I could spend every day like this." Mac snuggled her head under his chin and he wrapped an arm around her.

"Well we can't. It's Monday and we have work in about five hours." Harm said picking his watch up off the nightstand.

"Ugh, can't we just call in sick or something?"

"No we can't arouse that much suspicion and we will miss the staff meeting and I have to take Mattie to school. MATTIE!" Harm shot straight up into a sitting position.

"What about her?" Mac asked pulling the sheets up around her and sitting up with him.

"I didn't even call her to tell her when I would be home. Crap I knew there was a reason I shouldn't have stayed, now what is she going to think?" Mac pulled him back down.

"She probably was too busy to notice if you got back and she won't be awake until at least six, so stay for another hour and then go."

"But Mac…"

"Shut up Harm and relax, don't worry she won't even know you were gone."

Mac's Apartment

0630 Romeo

Ring, ring, ringggg! Mac rolled over and picked up the phone. She heard Coates' panic filled voice on the other end.

"Coates? What is it?" Mac's speech was still a little slurred from sleep.

"Hi ma'am. Is the Commander with you? He never came home last night and when I went to his apartment this morning to tell him I would take Mattie he wasn't there and his car was out front. I know you two went out yesterday but…"

"Coates! Jennifer, calm down! It's okay Harm's here with me. He and I came back here. We were going to watch a movie and then he was going to leave but then we both fell asleep on the couch. Don't worry he will be over there in about an hour alright, just get Mattie ready to go and Harm will be there to see her off." Mac lied on the first half.

"Thank you ma'am. Mattie is still asleep. I don't think she even noticed that the Commander didn't make it home last night." Jen hung up as did Mac and reached over to nudge Harm.

"Hey Sailor we overslept it's 0640 and we gotta go." Harm groaned.

"Ugh, just five more minutes you wore me out."

"Seriously, Jen just called you need to get back to your apartment." Harm sat up and stretched. Then he stood and started to put on his clothes that were scattered to the four winds. When he got to his shirt though he paused,

"Mac did you have to rip all the buttons off?" He said standing there with his shirt in his hands. Mac shrugged, got up and grabbed a robe.

" The top two are still there, but it was taking too long. Look I will buy you another one okay, now just do the best you can, I'm going to shower and get ready, make some coffee or something." Mac padded off to the bathroom and Harm finished getting ready and then went to make coffee and toast.

Mac came hopping out of the bedroom almost a half hour later trying to put her other shoe on as she hopped, but she ran into the coffee table and fell on the floor.

"Mac? You okay out there?" Harm stuck his head out of the kitchen to see Mac sprawled on the floor her hair around her face. He couldn't help but laugh as he helped her up.

"Your not very coordinated this morning are you?"

"Oh stop your teasing and hold still." Mac grabbed his shoulder and then slipped her other heel on.

"Okay do you have your stuff because we have to go." Mac said grabbing her coat and cover. Harm looked at her confused.

"I made coffee and toast aren't you going to have some?"

"We don't have that much time, but I guess I could get some toast." Mac rushed into the kitchen and finding the mug of coffee downed half of it and dumped the other half. She grabbed a piece of toast and tossed the other one to Jingo who ate it quickly. She turned off the coffeepot and then Harm asked her,

"You want me to drive?" Mac tossed him the keys and through a mouthful of toast,

"Yes. You're such a dear." She then laid a kiss on his cheek, which left a few breadcrumbs and they walked out the door locking it behind them.

Outside Harm's Apartment

1 hr later

Harm turned the key in the lock and opened the door slowly. He checked to make sure the coast was clear and they stepped inside.

"So where were you last night Harm?" Mattie said straightening from behind the kitchen counter. Her eyes widened when she saw Mac and his shirt, which was missing almost all of it's buttons.

"Oh that's where you were last night. At Mac's and I know that you two weren't watching a movie. So tell me did you enjoy your day out?" Mattie questioned Harm mercilessly.

"Mattie, it's not what you think…" Harm started. Mattie let out a giggle,

"Well I would believe you if there wasn't lipstick on your cheek. I have a feeling that you enjoyed your frolic in between the sheets then?" She inquired sassily.

"MATTIE! That was not very polite. I should punish you for that comment, it was out of line! I'll have you know that Mac and I are responsible adults and we…" He stopped when Mac laid a hand on his arm.

"Go get ready, I handle this. Mattie come here please." Mac said as Harm headed for the bathroom to shower and shave. Mac waited until she was sure the water was running and lowered her voice just in case so Harm couldn't hear and whispered,

"Your guardian, I'll have you know, if you don't mind me saying so, an excellent sheet frolicker and I was very impressed." Mac gave her a wink and Mattie squealed,

"YOU DIDN'T!" Mac nodded very proud of herself.

"Oh yes we did and looks like there may be something in it for you as well. See since I will be around more and maybe if I'm lucky," Mac gestured to her empty ring finger on her left hand, "Then things might get better and those adoption papers may go through and you will be stuck with Harm and me." Mattie did a little happy dance and exclaimed.

"This is sooo great! I can't wait! Hey speaking of ring fingers I have proof that things will be changing. I'll show you." Mattie rushed over to Harm's desk and opening a drawer pulled out a small velvet box.

"Oh! Let me see!" Mac squeaked and reached for it but Mattie put it away again.

"Oh no you don't get to see it now, you'll have to wait on Harm."

"Wait on me for what Mattie? And might I inquire as to what all this girly squealing in my masculine apartment is about?" Harm said coming out of the bedroom in boxer shorts and an undershirt.

"Umm nothing Mattie and I were just having a little girl talk that's all. And I do believe that is the fastest shower you have taken." Mac said. Harm put his hands on his hips.

"You told her didn't you?"

"Yes I did, she has the right to know does she not?"

"You didn't give her any details did you?" Harm prayed Mac would say no but Mattie spoke up first.

"Trust me, I don't want the details. I'm going to go get my bag and have Jen take me today, so have fun you guys and DON'T be late for work. I don't want the bald guy punishing you."

"Mattie, please call him Admiral or sir out of respect." Harm corrected her and Mattie rolled her eyes and went out the door.

"Now then Mac what exactly did you tell her?" Harm asked pulling her close to him.

"I told her that you were the best Sailor a marine could ever hope to have."

"Now that wouldn't have caused her to squeal like that."

"I might have mentioned something about a sheet frolic." Mac stated absently. Harm groaned.

"Oh that's great. You know now she is going to tell Jen who is going to tell Harriet who will tell the entire office and then we will have a extremely angry Admiral on our six." Mac wrapped her arms around Harm's neck and grinned,

"So, I don't care who knows just as long as I'm with you." Mac stood on her tiptoes and kissed him softly.

"Now go get ready Sailor or we're going to be late." Mac ordered stepping out of his arms.

"Yes ma'am." Harm made and abrupt about face and headed to his bedroom. Mac packed his briefcase for him and waited until he returned almost twenty minutes later.

"I'm in court today so that means I have to wear the jacket. I think I got the lint off but would you check?" Harm turned and Mac found one stubborn piece of lint.

"There that's it your all lint free, now lets go!" She handed him his coat and cover and they walked out the door.

0945 Romeo

"Come on Harm we're forty five point two seconds late the Admiral is going to wring our necks." Mac said as they ran down the hall to the library. They burst in through the double doors to find everyone waiting on them.

"Good morning, Commander, Colonel have a seat." The Admiral gestured to the two remaining chairs on either side of him. Harm and Mac sat down and waited with their hands folded and baited breath.

"So where were you both on this lovely Monday morning?" He inquired and Harm and Mac both sounded a response in unison.

"Car broke down."

"Overslept." Harm and Mac looked at each other and then at the Admiral.

"You see sir we both overslept and then we couldn't get Harm's car to start…"

"Wait just a minute Colonel what do you mean by 'we'?" AJ asked.

"The Commander and I." Mac corrected without a second thought. Harm shrank in his chair a few centimeters, they were digging a hole and they didn't have a ladder to climb out. Everyone could see what was going on, even though Harriet already knew, Coates had called and explained everything, that she had heard from Mattie and so far Harriet had only told Sturgis. Sturgis who was trying to bite back laughter, cleared his throat.

"If I may say sir, I think I would like to hear the whole story of this affair, I hear it was quite a 'relaxing' weekend for the both of you." Harm hissed to Mac,

"I told you Harriet would tell everyone, you shouldn't have told Mattie."

"Commander if you have something to say, say it so that everyone present can hear it."

"Yes sir. Mac why don't you tell them what happened this weekend." Harm tried to pin it on her.

"Well actually Harm you were the apprentice so to speak so tell everyone what you learned." Mac smirked, and Harm shrank a few more inches in his chair.

"All of it?"

"Yes, all of it." Mac continued to smile and Harm gulped.

"Okay, um on Friday Mac invited me along on a little adventure to which I readily agreed. It was to take place on Sunday. Anyway so Friday night I went home and ate alone as usual and Mac and I and a two-hour conference call, discussing cases and what have you. Then on Saturday I sent her two dozen roses, one was to thank her for lending me notes and the other just because…"

"Oh that is sooo romantic!" Harriet sighed dramatically.

"Anyway, the remainder of the day I spent going grocery shopping and picking up Mattie from a friends home and then while Mattie and I ate dinner Mac left a rather um she left a message on my machine. That was about all that happened Saturday. Now are you all sure you want to know what happened on Sunday?" He asked and everyone including the Admiral nodded and Harm began to enlighten them.

15 minutes later

"Wow man that takes some serious guts, I never could have set foot into a spa." Sturgis complimented Harm after he had told them almost everything. He conveniently forgot to mention the mud bath incident, the bikini wax and the whole discussion over dinner and he hadn't gotten to the events afterwards.

"Commander you still haven't explained how the remainder of your evening went and I must say they did a wonderful job on your manicure." AJ grinned.

"Uh right sir. Mac and I after eating dinner it was raining and so we headed back to her apartment where… we that is to say Mac and I…"

"Had a frolic in between the sheets?" Harriet questioned using Mattie's exact words. Both Harm and Mac sunk so low in their chairs that they might have slipped out of them.

"How did you… when did you…ummm oh god." Mac stumbled over her words turning redder by the second. AJ inquired his anger was rising a little,

"Well did you? It is a simple yes or no question." Harm and Mac nodded in unison and everyone present bit their lip to try not to laugh or burst out with some comment, but Sturgis couldn't bite it back.

"Well Mac looks like that isn't the problem anymore." (AN: Reference to Capitol Crime)

AJ clapped his hands together and stood,

"Well that wraps up today's meeting. Rabb, Mackenzie come to my office for your case assignments, everyone else dismissed." AJ then turned and Harm and Mac followed him out amid people avidly discussing the meeting.

AJ went to his office and sat on the edge of his desk.

"So might I ask what exactly you two were THINKING?" His voice reached a roar, his anger was beyond counting to ten and taking deep breaths.

"WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU TWO GO AND…" The Admiral ranted.

"Sir we were going to tell you when we got everything sorted out… but it was kind of sudden and we just hadn't had a chance to discuss it fully." Mac stammered and the Admiral slammed his fist on the desk.

"Well it's obvious that you two weren't discussing anything yesterday evening. Did you have to tell everyone at the staff meeting this morning?"

"Well sir they asked and we were just being honest." Mac answered meekly.

"Look I can't have you two running amuck like two lovestruck teenagers so if you promise me that this will stay on the backburner and you will not share your bedroom escapades in this office EVER! Now you two are going to be shipped off tomorrow afternoon for the Seahawk. Looks like they are having more issues with pregnant officers. Here is the briefs and such. I want this wrapped up quickly and efficiently. Also just because you will probably be sharing quarters due to the fact they are at max capacity this DOES NOT mean that you two can goof off and treat this like a little love cruise. Got me?" Harm and Mac snapped to.

"Sir, yes sir." They both took their files and headed back to their offices. A few minutes later Mac snuck out of her office and made her way down the hall to Harm's. She found his office door open and cleared her throat and greeted him seductively as she leaned against the doorframe.

"How goes it here Sailor?" Harm looked up from his files and smiled.

"Very smoothly, and with you?"

"Fine, just missing you. That's all." Mac stepped inside the small office and closed the door with her foot. The slam caused Harm to jump. Mac came and sat on a corner of his desk,

"So what are you doing?"

"Getting ready for court, which is in ten minutes."

"Do you think you could pen in a little time for me in between all of your reviewing?" Harm leaned his chair back.

"I think that can be arranged, now let's see I have the whole evening wide open." Harm smiled and Mac shook her head and walked around to the other side of the desk and leaned over his chair.

"No I meant right now." Harm nodded and pulled her into his lap.

"How badly do you miss me?"

"So much I could cry." Mac pretended to pout. Harm looked at his desk calendar and back at her.

"I think I can fit you in."

"Well I am the woman that will be carrying your child someday."

"Oh and how about the woman I marry someday too?" Mac perked up.

"You mean it? Really?"

"Well yes, I don't buy diamond rings for just anyone. Let's just wait a bit I don't think this office could handle that much excitement right now." Mac giggled.

"I think you're right, but will say I could go for a little excitement right now." Mac grabbed Harm by his tie and pulled his lips up to meet hers.

"Mac you know that it's against regulations and technically I should give you a red light for that PDA." Harm warned when they broke apart.

"I just wanted a kiss or two, not much more. I would hate to wrinkle my uniform so early in the day." Mac adjusted so it was more comfortable and kissed him again, in the middle of the increasingly heated moment there was a knock at the door.

"Mmmph who is…it?" Harm said between Mac's kisses.

"It's Bud sir, I was just wondering where you were we have court in three minutes, can I come in… Or are you busy?" He asked through the door he waited for Harm's reply, which came a little, disconnected.

"Uh… I'll be… right… out. Go on… ahead."

"Are you okay in there sir?" Bud asked, Harm rolled his eyes and whispered to Mac.

"We will finish this later, I have to go." Mac got up as did Harm who also grabbed his notes and a pen. He was still slightly disoriented from his and Mac's makeout session. Mac wiped the little lipstick that was on his cheek off and was about to open the door when Bud did.

"Umm sorry sir I… hello Colonel." Bud said confused.

"Good morning Lieutenant." Mac said smiling sweetly and running a hand through her hair and straightening her skirt.

"Well I'll be off then, good luck today Harm." Mac said and then walked off down the hall and Harm's eyes followed her longingly. Then he turned to Bud and fixed his tie and over jacket.

"Alright then, shall we?"

"Uh okay sir." Bud answered. He thought he had an idea of what had just occurred in the Commander's office but he didn't dare ask, and he wasn't really in a hurry to know either.

You are now welcome to review. (hint, hint)
