"The More, The Merrier"
Summary: Mac doesn't think to call ahead when she stops by, but that doesn't mean she's not welcomed by Harm's non-traditional family.
Note: After I wrote this, I realized that it shows that Mac has to adjust to the changes in Harm's life, too (so no more dropping by without making sure he doesn't already have plans!)
Disclaimer: Harm, Mac, etc. are not mine, so don't sue me because I have an imagination and too much free time.

It took a second for Mac to realize that her knuckles hadn't made contact with the door in front of her because someone had already opened it.
"Hi, Mac!" Mattie cheerfully greeted her. Jennifer and Harm were right behind the teenager, all three wearing their coats.
"You're going out," she observed.
"It's Jenn's birthday," Mattie informed her as the trio moved out into the hallway. "We're going out to eat."
Jennifer spoke up, "Why don't you come with us, ma'am?"
Mac tried to politely back out of the invitation. "I wouldn't want to intrude."
"You wouldn't be," Jennifer smiled.
She didn't look convinced.
Harm finished locking up and joined in with a cocky grin. "Come on, Mac. The girls want you to come, and I'm outnumbered already. What's one more female?"
"I suppose I could," Mac finally conceded, "but since I'm crashing this party, I'll pay."
"I'm the father figure here," Harm protested. "I'm paying."
