The rest of the weekend just went by with the two falling more in more in love, something that they both didn't know was possible. Monday morning came, and with that work did.

They bumped into each other on the elevator and smiled at each other. "Good morning Commander Pookie, were you able to pick up Mattie last night?"

"Yeah, Ms. Lydell was able to bring the girls into town to McDonalds," Harm said shuddering at the thought. "So did you sleep well last night Colonel Sugarbum?"

"No, I guess I got to used to a certain Commander in my bed with me."

"Good, I missed you to." He hit the stop button on the elevator and pulled her close. He tilted up her chin and kissed her on the lips waiting for her to invite him in for a deeper kiss. He got his wish. After they parted, she smoothed her hair and sauntered over to the button and they went into work.

"I'll see you at staff call Harm."

"Can't wait to see you again." He entered his office winking at her as she stole one last glimpse of him.

Staff call came and they sat through the updates on the cases and since it was the Christmas season, not many new cases were passing through the office other than drunk and disorderlies.

"Colonel, is that alright with you?" Admiral Chegwidden asked.

"Sorry sir, what was that again?" Mac asked embarrassed that she was caught daydreaming about the glorious weekend.

"Since Harriet is pregnant, she didn't feel like hosting the annual Christmas party this year. Can't say that I blame her, but she was able to plan it. It is at McMurphy's Tavern on the 24th at 2000. The rest of the crew will be able to make it, how about you?"

"I will be there also sir." She replied to her commanding officer. She looked down at the legal pad she was doodling on, all it had was the word HARM on it. She put her hand over the doodle so hopefully Admiral Chegwidden wouldn't see it.

"Good to hear Colonel. Staff meeting adjourned." They all rose and watched him leave the room.

"Penny for your thoughts Mac," Harm said tossing her a penny.

"Oh, they are worth so much more that that. I was thinking of you."

"Well, I feel flattered." He looked around the conference room and saw that it was completely empty. He kissed her on the cheek and held her close. "What time should I pick you up for the Christmas party?"

"And what makes you think that I am going to go with you?"

"Because you are my Colonel Sugarbum." He said kissing her on the cheek and leaving her in his wake of confusion.
