A Snowy Weekend – Part 10

7:56 AM
Harm groaned, not liking the wake-up call he got today. "Turn the radio off, baby," he said fretfully, still more asleep than awake and tried to get the warmth he was holding in his arms even closer to him. "It's Sunday and we can sleep in."
The only answer he got was a quiet murmur and Harm didn't understand one word. "What?"
Mac sighed, not wanting to wake up. This was such a nice dream she had, and she didn't want to let it go. "I said, I don't have a radio in my bedroom," she whispered with a sleepy voice and yawned.
"Then what's this squealing noise?" Harm annoyingly asked and started to kiss her neck. 'Hmmm, she tastes good,' he thought and then took a deep breath. 'And she smells even better.'
'This feels nice,' Mac thought. 'And it feels so real….' Suddenly it dawned on her. 'Wait, this isn't a dream. This is real,' she continued to let her mind wander and finally woke up with a bright smile on her face.
She could feel the warmth right next to her; his warmth. Harm was spooned against her from behind and one of his arms was wrapped around her middle, slightly running circles on her belly underneath her pajamas top, which caused goose bumps to form on her skin. Her head was pillowed on his other outstretched arm. Harm's legs were tangled with hers and she could feel his hot breath against her neck while he continued to kiss it. She had no idea how or even when they ended up in this position, but she really liked it. 'I better wake him up before this gets out of hand though,' she thought and then said out loud. "Harm, wake up."
Mac slowly opened one eye and could see that the spot where AJ had slept earlier was now vacant. That's when she finally figured out where this noise came from.
"I'm awake," Harm muttered against her neck and his breath tickled her skin. "And I wish we could shut off the squealing so we can go back to sleep."
Mac chuckled. "For some reason I doubt you're totally awake, and don't let your godson hear that you're calling his singing 'squealing', Harm."
"Huh?"
"The noise you're hearing is coming from the baby monitor. AJ's singing 'The Bare Necessities' to his brother. Jimmy loves this song."
Harm stopped kissing her neck, opened his eyes and looked up to see the baby monitor standing on Mac's nightstand. He listened more thoroughly to the sound and indeed discovered Little AJ's voice. Harm let his head fall back to the pillow and groaned. "How can a child be so cheerful so early in the morning is beyond me."
"Has to be his genes," Mac quietly answered and slowly moved onto her other side so that she came face to face with Harm.
Now she was able to look into Harm's eyes and could see the bright shine in them. It was clear to her that he knew exactly what he'd done earlier. Maybe he didn't mean to call her 'baby', but the kisses were given intentionally. That she was sure about. "Hi."
"Hi." Harm smiled and started to caress her cheek with his fingertips. "Good morning, Beautiful. This is really nice," he softly told Mac, first pointing at her and then at himself.
Mac nodded her head. Waking up in his arms was indeed a nice thing, and something she'd dreamed about for a long, long time. "Yes, it is. Very nice."
"Please don't expect me to apologize for waking up with you in my arms, or for kissing you," Harm quietly begged and tucked one loose wisp of hair behind her ear.
"I won't," Mac told him in a whisper and with a shy smile on her face.
Harm eagerly returned her smile with one of his own. "Good. And also know that I was awake enough to know who I was holding in my arms and who I was referring to as 'baby'."
Slowly their heads started to move forward, longingly waiting the moment their lips would finally meet.
"Ooof," Harm and Mac groaned out at the same time when a little whirlwind bounced without any warning onto the bed and right on top of them. They took a deep breath and let their foreheads touch. They'd been so near, but obviously it wasn't the right time. With a sigh they both let their look wander to Little AJ, who was sitting with a wide grin on their hips.
"Good morning!" Little AJ yelled with a cheerful voice and giggled. "It's time to get up, I'm hungry," he announced as a matter of fact and interlocked his arms in front of him. "Can we have dinosaur pancakes, Uncle Harm?"
Harm groaned again and glanced at Mac, who still looked a little shocked. "Do you think that if we ignore him long enough he'll go away again?" He hopefully asked her in a whisper.
Mac looked at him with a 'get real'-look. "Sure, Harm. Sure," she answered in sarcasm.
"Damn," he quietly cursed to himself and threw his head back into the pillow. Then he looked at his godson. "Sure, AJ. Dinosaur pancakes sound like a great idea. That is, if your aunt has the supplies in her kitchen."
Two pair of eyes were now looking at Mac. "Sure. Shouldn't be a problem," she confidently answered.
"Cool!" Little AJ yelled and jumped out of the bed. "Come on then. We have to hurry. The quicker we're done, the faster we can go sledding." Then he took Mac's hand into his and started to pull her out of the bed. Of course he wasn't strong enough to do that, but Mac more or less willingly helped him and got out of the bed. Less willingly was Harm though, who had to let her go from his arms.
"Why don't you go ahead, AJ? We'll be right there," she told her godson and stretched her weary muscles.
"Okay!" Little AJ called out and ran out of the bedroom. It only took him a few seconds before he once again started to sing cheerfully, this time performing his favourite song 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight'.
Mac turned around to look at Harm and saw that he'd thrown the blanket over his head. She shook her head and chuckled. Mac took one corner of the blanket into her hand and pulled it away from him. "Time to get up, Harm. You've heard the little man. He wants your famous dinosaur pancakes."
Before Mac had any chance to react, Harm was grasping for her arm and pulled her on top of him. "I won't get out of this bed before I get my 'good morning'-kiss," he said with a pout.
She looked at him with a raised eyebrow and smirked. "Now who's so demanding in bed, huh?"
"You haven't seen anything yet, Marine."
"Oh, really?"
"Really! And now kiss me for Pete's sake," Harm commanded with a grin on his face.
Mac licked her lips and moved her face a bit closer to his. "My pleasure," she whispered and gave him what was meant as a quick and teasing peck on his lips.
However, after their lips parted Mac looked into Harm's eyes, only to be greeted by a gaze full of love and desire, and she was sure that the same look mirrored in her own eyes. That was all it took for Harm and Mac to come together again in a slow, long and loving kiss. Harm sighed in relief and both thought 'About damn time'.
"Auntie Mac! Uncle Harm! When are you coming?" Little AJ called from the kitchen. "I'm waiting."
Harm groaned as they broke their kiss and Mac slowly moved away from him.
"Come on, old man. Time to feed the youngsters."
Harm took her outstretched hand and got up from the bed as well. Then he drew her back for another short kiss. "We are so doomed," he told her and got a giggle in response.
"Go get freshen up while I get Jimmy. We'll meet in the kitchen."
"Okay," Harm said and made his way to the bathroom before turning his gaze back to Mac. "And Mac?"
Mac stopped at the doorway and looked back at Harm. "Yeah?"
"We need to talk," he softly told her.
Mac smiled and nodded her head. "We will, Harm. Believe me, we will," she said and walked out of the bedroom.
'Yes, we will,' Harm thought and stepped into the bathroom.
