Mac heard the door open and close as she checked on dinner. Harm was home
later than originally expected but she presumed that that was because of
him be sequestered for most of the day. She made her way to the living room
entrance and leant against the doorframe as she watched him check in on Abi
who was asleep in her Moses basket on the floor by the coffee table.
"Hey beautiful." He said gently to her since she had obviously just woken up.
"Hey yourself sailor." Mac said.
"I was talking to Abi." He looked up at her.
"I'm really feeling loved over here." She crossed her arms.
"You're beautiful too."
"That's good otherwise you'd have the spaghetti sauce Abi and I slaved over on your head."
"Spaghetti sauce, that's impressive for a ten day old." He stood up and tossed his cover and briefcase into a chair. "Where's Mom?"
"Babysitting AJ so Bud and Harriet can go out to dinner."
"So we have the house to ourselves?"
"Just you me and Abi. Dinner will be another ten minutes, why don't you go and change?"
"Okay." He dropped a kiss on her lips before heading up stairs. Mac picked his briefcase from the chair put it on the floor. She slipped the cover on her head.
"What do you think Abi?" Mac crouched down; the cover fell down over her eyes. "Your Daddy has a big head and not just his ego." She pulled her out of the crib and placed her in the bouncing chair which had been a gift from Sturgis.

"So how did your testimony go?" Mac asked.
"Not too bad. I was sequestered longer than it took to testify."
"What did you think of Lieutenant Commander Jerk?" Mac inquired.
"He was okay. A little pushy but he got stuck with defending the guy. Why do you think he's a jerk?"
"Apparently your wife has questionable character; what with being an alcoholic and having been put up for court martial for her first husband's death."
"He didn't?" Harm questioned.
"Oh yeah."
"Do you want me to sue him for defamation of character?" Harm offered.
"No the judge took care of it. Apparently being a Marine Colonel and judge is enough to absolve any questionable character flaws I have."
"Still attacking a witness's character, because someone tried to go after them is a bit of a hard sell."
"I've seen worse. But do you know what I found funny?"
"No what?" He asked.
"How much I miss being at JAG?"
"It gets under your skin I'll give you that. But you get to spend all day here with Abi."
"Yeah, I do." Mac agreed.
