Into the Lyons Den Part 12
The next day flew by in a hurry. The SG teams, the Tokra and Mac had to go through medical exams and many post-mission briefings. But no matter how much Mac hated going through all of that, she was't looking foward to going back to DC to talk to her CO, but she also knew that it had to happen. Mac was sitting on a couch in Harms living room while thinking about this.
A thought crossed her head while thinking. She knew that before this mission happened, he was going to go back to DC with her to get everything straightened out, but now she wasn't so sure. As she thought this, she realized that she was no longer alone in the room.
Harm walked into the room and stopped at the opposite end of the couch that Mac was sitting on. He used to love watching her while she was thinking. The look on her face that she got most of the time was amazing to him. He didn't realize how much he missed that look. Well, he knew that if he was truthful with himself, he missed everything about her. He was starled out of his thoughts when he felt someone watching him.
"What's on your mind, Mac?" Harm asked her as he sat on the opposite end of the couch than her.
Mac looked at Harm for a second before answering. "What makes you think I have something on my mind?"
"I can tell by the look on your face. I hope you didn't forget that we were partners and friends for seven years before I came out here. I know you all too well."
Mac shyly smiled and moved so she was sitting closer to Harm. "I know, and I didn't forget. It's just that since I haven't really seen or talked to you for almost a year, I've gotten used to no one being able to jugde the mood I'm in. I've missed it." At the end of her talking, she reached over and took Harm's left hand in both of her's.
"I know Mac, and I'm sorry about leaving. But it's just that the president offered me this, and I knew that I had to take it, so I did. I love it here. The people are great and that job is amazing. You would never believe the stuff that I've seen. I wish that you were here to experience it with me, but you're here now, and that is all that matters." Harm brought Mac's hands up to his lips and kissed each of them. "Now, General Hammond booked us on a flight for DC that leaves at 10 am tomorrow. So how about we go to bed." Harm got up and went around the house to make sure that all the lights were off and the doors and windows shut and locked. When he got back to the living room, Mac was stilling sitting where he left her. He held out a hand for her and asked, "Well, are you coming?"
Mac just looked at him before asking, "Where am I sleeping? I mean I noticed you don't have any other bedrooms made up except yours, so..." While she was saying this, she got up and took a hold of the outstreched hand that was being offered to her. Harm preceeded to lead her to his bedroom.
"This is where you'll be sleeping tonight, with me. I hope you don't mind. I mean, if you do, I can sleep on the couch.."
Mac stopped his ramblings by putting a finger up to his mouth. "Harm, that's fine. I mean we are adults here, and I'm sure that we can handle this. Now, all I need is something to sleep in."
"I believe that can be arranged." Harm stated as he let go of Mac's hand and walked over to his dresser. There he got a tee-shirt and a pair of sweatpants for Mac to sleep in. He then grabbed a pair of sleep pants for himself. "Mac, I'm going to get dresses in the bathroom, so you can change in here."
"Are you sure Harm, I mean I can change in the bathroom."
"It's ok." Harm turned and left the room, heading to the bathroom. He made sure that he shut the bedroom door behind him.
Harm finally emerged from the bathroom 10 minutes later. He knocked on the door, "Mac, are you decent in there?" He waited a minute and when he didn't get an answer, he opened the door a crack and peeked in. He saw that Mac was changed and already got under the covers and was sleeping lightly. Harm went over the bed, tunred the light off on the side that she was sleeping on, went to the other side and got in. He laughed slighty when Mac snuggled closer to his body. Harm spooned his body behind her's. Kisssing her lighty on the temple, "Goodnight Mac." He soon joined her in slumber.
The next morning, Harm and Mac were sitting on the plane to head back to DC. Their seats were in first class. He wondered if when the general was boooking them, he remebered something that Harm once said.
"So, Harm, I hear that you don't like to ride in planes that you aren't flying."
Harm threw a glance at Jack, but all he did was shrug his shoulders. "Yes sir. I really don't like it, but I've gotten use to it. But if I have to, I prefer first class."
"So Mac, 5 hours to get to DC. Can you handle it?"
Mac looked over at him and saw the playful look on his face. "Yes Harm. I can handle this. I just can't handle riding in a plane with you flying it."
"Ahh, you wound me Mac. You know. Sam has flown as my co-poilt a few times, and she never complained."
"To your face... no I'm joking. Well, Harm, she's Airforce. That is what she does. I, on the other hand, do not."
"I know, Mac, and you know what. I still love you." As Harm was saying this, he took a hold of her right hand with his left.
The general arranged a car to pick Harm and Mac up at the airport. When they arrived in DC, it was 2pm. They decided to head over to JAG headquaters first. At first Mac didn't want to do this, but Harm reasoned with her on the plane.
"Mac, we should go there and get it over with. Then we can go back to your place and get everything situated."
30 minutes later they arrived in Falls Church. As they were going with the security gate, Harm turned to Mac and saw that she was nerous. Harm squeezed her hand and gave her a smile. She smiled back, knowing that no matter what, Harm would be at her side through this.
