The Next Morning
"Well they say the Marines are first to fight and boy they certainly are!" Harm joked as he propped himself up on his elbows.
"I'm glad that you have accepted that and I should also say that dress whites and gold wings will get you anywhere you want and I will say I was impressed." Mac said sitting up.
"Only 'impressed'? How about floored?" Mac winced a little.
"That too did you have to do that?"
"One it was three in the morning and two there just wasn't enough bed." Harm admitted and Mac hit him with a pillow and lay back down.
"You are certainly talkative considering we only got four hours of sleep." Mac pointed out and Harm shrugged.
"I went straight into deep sleep." Mac laughed.
"I suppose so you did snore pretty loudly."
"Oh and you were listening? As I seem to recall you are the one who said, 'Harm it's four thirty in the morning.'" Mac rolled her eyes.
"Then you said 'Okay but why do I care what time it is?' And so on and so forth. You know what Harm, I'm hungry." Mac changed the subject.
"Well gee I wonder why?" Harm looked thoughtful and Mac smirked.
"You don't have to be all smart about it." Mac shoved him back down and then she got up and grabbed a robe. She shivered for a minute and looked down at Harm with her hands on her hips.
"Well are you going to get up or not lazy butt?" Harm got out of bed and found his boxers and then after he put them on he replied.
"There you happy now Colonel?"
"Yes much and you…" Mac stopped mid sentence when there was a knock at the door. Together they went to see who it was and were surprised to see Bud, Harriet and little AJ standing in Mac's living room. Harriet had spotted Harm's whites and looked a little shocked.
"Good morning Bud, Harriet what are you doing here?" Mac asked embarrassed but smiling.
"We were here to drop AJ off and then go out for the day we have to take Jimmy he has an appointment, you and the Commander were going to take AJ to the amusement park today." Bud explained. Harm and Mac both slapped a hand to their foreheads.
"Oh gosh! We totally spaced it!" Mac gasped.
"Apparently." Harriet tried to look serious but she was about to explode with excitement.
"Okay, um well I um we just got up and it isn't what you think." Mac warned, she was about to continue when there was another knock at the door.
"Come in it's open!" She called and in stepped the small elderly woman who lived below her.
"Good morning Mrs. Hiedler, what brings you up here?" Mac asked carefully. This was one little raging ball of German fury that you didn't want to make angry. The woman stepped in and examined the slightly jostled living room and hall.
"I was just coming up to let you know that the listening spectacle that my ears were exposed to was rather vulgar and loud. I would very much appreciate it if you would refrain from those various activities in the middle of the night or at least keep them at a reasonable volume." The woman then turned her attention to Harm and she smiled.
"Harmon, a good solid German name and I believe my boy that it suits you excellently." Harm nodded and thanked her.
"Thank you. How so, if you would care to enlighten me." Harm asked carefully and as soon as the words came out he regretted them. Mrs. Hiedler smiled even wider.
"Well translated it means army man or soldier and well you know how they can just keep on going. You however are Navy I believe, judging by this." She picked up his dress white shirt off the floor and held in between her fingers. Mac whimpered and Harm looked like he would pass out. Bud and Harriet looked like they would burst out laughing and AJ looked confused.
"Well Sarah I will be on my way if you don't mind I have a appointment to keep. Wiedersehen" (AN: Yes that is the proper spelling for goodbye or at least that's what my German to English to Dictionary says.) She turned abruptly and went on down the hall and Mac shut the door quickly.
"Well, AJ why don't you have a seat, there is cartoons here is the remote you can watch while we get ready and then we will take you okay?" Mac said softly and AJ smiled and grabbed the remote and quickly found cartoons.
"Bud, Harriet you can go on your way we'll be fine. Have a great day. What time will you be back to get him?"
"Dinner time probably." Harm chuckled.
"Well then we won't fill him up with too much junk food then." Harriet gave her son a kiss and commented.
"I certainly hope not. I'm making chicken tonight." Mac shifted from one foot to the other.
"Harriet you two had better get going. Jimmy is waiting." Bud nodded as Harriet walked out and he added.
"I hope this didn't screw up your plans for today."
"Not at all Bud, not at all." Harm smiled and Bud followed after his wife. Harm looked at Mac and she looked back at him and they sighed. This wasn't exactly how they had planned to spend their first day as a couple but they loved their godson and it was part of his fifth birthday present. Harm went into the kitchen to start breakfast and Mac went to shower. All the while little AJ watched cartoons and wondered in his little preschool mind, if Uncle Harm and Aunt Mac were in love like mommy had said.
