Rabb Apartment
Later in the night
North of Union Station
Harm cleaned up the kitchen; while Mac watched from her place propped up in bed. "Harm, Harm hurry up..."
"Yes your honor; I'm hurrying up."
"We'll get your Navy ass moving. I could go into labor waiting on you."
Laughing as he walked back up- "I doubt that's going to happen this soon."
"You never know; after all both of these are Rabb's and if they are anything like you. They are going to be unpredictable."
Harm grabbed his heart. "Woman you wound me right we're it hurts."
"Suck it up Rabb; you'll heal. Now hurry your six up. We've got a book to get back to."
"Aye, Aye ma'am." Harm said as he made his way up the stairs, removing his clothes once he got up there. He sat down on the bed leaning back against the wall Mac pushed his legs apart settling between them. Harm wrapped his arms around her expanding abdomen. She reopened her book picking up where she left off.
Union Base Camp
Outside of Atlanta 1865
Harmon just stood and looked deep into the beautiful brown eyes of his Sarah. He placed his hand on her cheek. She placed hers on top of his. "Please my Harmon I am begging you. I do not wish to be forced to lay down with this man. I wish to lay with you. I have given this much thought." Harmon placed his hand on her lips.
"My darling; I can not allow myself to do what you ask. I am a man of honor. I will only lay down with a woman that will become my wife."
She was taken aback by his words. How had she misread him. Suddenly feeling very exposed; she turned to leave out of the tent. Harmon reached for her hand stoping pulled her back to him. Placing his lips next to her ear. "Will you come with me?"
"Where are we going?"
"Just come with me and you shall see."
"Yes of course I will come with you,I will go with you where ever you wish."
He took her hand and led her out with him. They headed to edge of the camp,he went to fetch his horse Tomcat. "Darling how did you get here? By foot or horse back?"
"I rode Rosebud, my horse. I left her at the entrance to the camp."
"I shall fetch her for you, wait here I will return"
Sarah watched as Harmon walked to the entrance, she kept looking around just making sure that no one was paying her any attention. After all she didn't wish to get Harmon into any trouble.
"Darling here is your horse."
"Thank you. " Harmon shocked her when he lifted her up on the horse. "Oh my; you are very strong."
"My darling you are light as a feather. Now follow me."
Harmon mounted Tomcat, and led Sarah and Rosebud out of the camp. They rode out to a hill top that over looked the what was once the beautiful country side of the outskirts of Atlanta, Harmon stopped when he came to a secluded spot. He dismounted Tomcat, after that he went and lifted Sarah off Rosebud, he took the reins of both horses and attached them to the tree near by. After he finished he went back over taking Sarah by the hand. They walked to edge of the hill top.
"I brought you here for a simple reason, I wish to tell you about my life. I need you to understand what type of a man I am and the type of family I come from. After hearing this if you still wish to be with me I will be honored. If you choose not to, I will bid you a fond farewell."
Sarah nodded her head. "I am ready to listen my love."
Harmon spread out a blanket and helped her to sit down, after that he took a seat and began to tell her about his life.
Harm and Mac's Bedroom
Mac was still reading aloud, not noticing that Harm was now fast asleep with his head propped against the wall, well that was until Mac suddenly stoped when she felt kicking. She grabbed Harms hand waking him up.
"Did you just feel that?"
"Now that I'm wide awake; yes was that both of them?"
"I'm... I'm not sure. Maybe.. that's the first time I've felt more then one kick at a time."
"Well you know, they are just like me."
"If you mean cocky and unpredictable, I agree with that."
"I'm not cocky, I'm just very sure of myself."
"HaHa! I call that cocky. But I find that quality part of your charm."
"Well thank you kind ma'am."
"Are you mocking my book?"
"What makes you think that kind ma'am"
Mac squinted her eyes, "The fact that you keep referring to me as 'kind ma'am' Captain."
"I'm just being a.."
"Watch your words here Rabb."
Before Harm could continue, his cell phone started to ring. He picked it up grimacing as he looked at the caller ID. "Rabb." He listened to the person on the other side. He glanced down at his watch. "Gunny give 30 minutes and I'll be there." Letting out a breath as he hung up and tossed his phone onto the bed.
"Sweetheart I've got to run to JAG. Apparently a new lawyer is there and wanting access to the building tonight."
"What new lawyer?"
"Apparently this person has been transferred to headquarters by order of the SecNav." Harm grimaced as he slipped out from behind Mac, making his way over to closet grabbing clothes. Mac watched him put his clothes on. Enjoying her nice view of his well defined six.
"You know when you get back, clothing can be optional."
Making his way over to the bed, he leaned down to her ear. "Is the a order your honor?"
"Oh yes it is..."
"Well I'll make sure to make this a fast trip. Why don't you read some more, so you can bring me up to seed when I get home." He said as he wiggled his eye brows leaning down and kissing his wife good bye.
Mac watched him walk out of the apartment, she placed her hand on her abdomen. "Well kids its just us now."
