The Nutcracker Part 5

"Harriet? Bud?" She asked in surprise. They looked half-frozen from the snow, so she told them to come in.

"Sorry to barge in on you like this," Harriet said. "We were driving home from JAG and realized that we still had your Christmas gift in the car."

"Since you had already given us our's we thought we should stop by and give you yours," Bud added.

"Oh, you didn't have to do that," Mac said, giving them a hug.

"Well...it was already in the car with Commander Rabb's and we thought you guys should have them before Christmas."

"Speaking of which, do you know where the Commander is?" Harriet asked. "We tried his apartment but no one answered."

Just then Harm came out of Mac's bedroom saying, "Do you mind if I take a showe-," but he stopped in mid sentence seeing Harriet and Bud standing there.

"Harriet? Bud?" He asked, in surprise.

"Commander Rabb?" Harriet asked, also surprised.

Bud just stood there looking at them as the smug grin reappeared on his face.

"It's not how it looks," Mac said. 'This is the second time tonight that I've said that,' she thought. "Harm was driving me home and I told him he should spend the night here because it would be too hard to drive home in this snow storm. You guys shouldn't be driving around in this," Mac said, relieved that she could change the subject.

"We really wanted you guys to have your presents," Harriet said, handing them each a present.

"Do you guys want to stay for a little while?" Mac asked. "You could stay until the storm passes."

"That's ok, ma'am. Bud just got these new chains for his tires and we had to test them out."

"We should leave you two alone," Bud teased pushing Harriet out the door.

"We have to get home to AJ anyway," Harriet said.

"Merry Christmas!" Harm and Mac said as Bud pushed Harriet farther out the door.

"Merry Christmas!" Bud and Harriet said back. Then Harriet turned back around and motioned for Mac to call her later.

"That was nice of them to bring these presents by," Mac said as she shut the door. Then she looked over at Harm and bit her lip nervously. "What do you think they thought of you spending the night here with me?"

"I don't care what they thought. It's not a crime for you and me to spend more time together."

"Your right," Mac agreed. "Now what were you going to ask me?"

"I was wondering if I could use your shower?"

"Go, ahead."

Fifteen minutes later Harm was out of the shower. Mac tried not to giggle as she looked at his appearance in her sweat pants. Her sweat pants were too small for him and she tried to suppress her laughter from the sight.

"Don't laugh at me," Harm said as he reached around in his pocket of his dress pants. He pulled out something and moved it behind his back so Mac couldn't see it. "Do you want your Christmas present early?"

Mac's face perked up when he said that. "Yeah!"

"Well, now that I think about it, maybe you should wait until tomorrow."

"What? Harm, you can't tease me like that. Since you already mentioned it I think I should have it."

"If you want your present you need to come into the living room."

"Ok," Mac said, bolting out of the bed and quickly following him into the living room.
