"Random Question of the Day"
Summary: Mattie is already bored with summer vacation, so she calls to ask Harm something.
Note: My sister asked me a similar question, and I didn't like it any more than Harm. Also, I'll be ignoring the season finale for the time being.
Disclaimer: Harm, Mac, etc. are not mine, so don't sue me because I have an imagination and too much free time.

Mac sat on the edge of Harm's desk, watching him read through a case file so he could give her his opinion. When the phone rang, he continued to read as he answered with a businesslike, "Rabb."
He was not prepared for Mattie's greeting.
"Harm, when are you going to marry Mac so she can have a baby for me to play with?"
Momentarily frozen, Harm could feel his ears burning even though Mac couldn't hear the conversation. Staring intently at the file in front of him, he finally managed a coherent reply, "I know that school is out, but please turn off 'A Baby Story' and read a book or... something. I'll take you to visit the Roberts later and you can play with Jimmy, okay?"
Harm sighed as he hung up the phone. "Don't ask," he mumbled in Mac's direction as he quickly went back to reading in order to avoid eye contact.
