"Baby-Sitting Blues"

Summary: Mattie still really wants something.

Note: My sister actually used the baby argument with my parents since they told her they'd take the puppy back if she brought one home.

Disclaimer: Harm, Mac, etc. are not mine, so don't sue me because I have an imagination and too much free time.

"How was baby-sitting?" Harm asked cheerfully. Bud had just dropped Mattie off from her evening with the boys, and she was making herself comfortable on Harm's couch.

"I want a little brother or sister to play with and spoil rotten," she pouted.

Harm sighed, feeling a headache coming on. He hated when Mattie came home from the Roberts' like this because it would eventually lead to her haranguing him about how he should be going out on dates so that he could settle down and she could play big sister to his kids.

"I'm not going to lecture you about getting a social life today," she smirked.

"Thanks."

The teenager perked up saying, "You know what would be just as good as a baby to play with?"

Harm groaned. "No puppy."

"Would you rather I go out and get pregnant so I can have a baby to play with since you're not having one soon?"
