Looks like lots of you peeps enjoyed Mac & Harm being on the scene so here is more of my favorite JAG duo and their offspring! Sorry it's taken so long to update my mom had an unexpected set back and was back in the hospital and my dad had to have a PET scan and a CT scan and we are waiting on the results from that. My muse has taken a vacation from the heat here in Missery (it's been over 100 for weeks now)….otherwise known as SW Missouri so I promise to do better on my updates!

Chapter 23

"Wedding what wedding Uncle Carlos" a small voice exclaimed as the door opened.

"McKenzie Patricia Rabb what have I told you about opening the door" came a female voice as I looked down into a pair of gorgeous, but guilty looking, blue eyes looking up at us.

"Uh oh Princess sounds like someone's not minding her mommy" Carlos said with a grin as he picked up this beautiful girl.

"I not supposed to answer the door without a growed up person or Treigh but I heard mommy tell daddy that you were on your way up so I wanted to see you. I missed you uncle Carlos" McKenzie said while hugging his neck.

"I missed you too Princess. How about you let us in so I can introduce you to someone very important ok?" Carlos said as he stepped back to let me go in first

"Carlos how are you" asked a beautiful, dark haired woman. If I didn't know she was already married to Carlos' friend I would have been jealous!

"I'm good Mac, how are you? Where is that squid you call a husband" he said with good natured ribbing as a tall, good looking man with piercing blue eyes, walked up behind the woman.

"I'm right here you grunt" said the tall man said as he grabbed Carlos and they did the whole man hug thing.

"Harm, Mac, Princess this is Stephanie Plum soon to be Manoso, Babe this is Harmon Rabb Jr, his wife Sarah McKenzie-Rabb, aka Mac and this beautiful babe is McKenzie Rabb otherwise known as the princess" Carlos said with a laugh as McKenzie took a very princess like bow.

"It's very nice to meet all of you" I said and stuck out my hand. Mac laughed and pulled me in for a bear hug as she told me "sorry Stephanie but Carlos has talked so much about you over the years I feel like you're a part of the family. It's about time he got his head out of his Six and married you. When is the big day"?

"Ummm it's actually this coming Saturday and if you're not doing anything we'd love to have you come" I told Mac feeling instantly at ease with her.

"Oh sweetie we wouldn't miss this event for the world! We have been waiting a couple of years for this news. What time and where on Saturday" Mac asked as she pulled me farther into the living room of their beautiful apartment.

"We are getting married on the beach behind our house here in Miami. As for the time I'm going to say 6pm. I want to have soft lighting and a beautiful sunset. The reception will be held right after the ceremony" I told her while looking over at Carlos for his approval of my plans.

"Whatever you want Babe. You just tell me what time to be there so I can see the most beautiful woman in the world walk towards me on the beach" he said as he cupped my face and gave me a sweet kiss.

"Oh boy Ranger you have got it bad my friend" I heard Harm say with a chuckle.

"You should know Fly Boy" Mac said while rolling her eyes in a very good imitation of a Jersey girl.

I grinned at her then looked over a McKenzie dancing around the room to a song only she could hear. As I watched her I imagined her in a lavender princess dress scattering rose petals on the beach.

I looked over at Carlos who was watching her too. I wondered if he was thinking what I was thinking.

"Mac" I said in a low voice "do you think McKenzie would like to be our flower girl? I have 3 nieces but they are back in New Jersey and I'm not sure if I'm going to tell my family til after we are married so I would love to have McKenzie do the honor".

Mac chuckled as she looked at her daughter and said "Stephanie I guarantee you she would love to be your flower girl. She loves her uncle Carlos almost as much as she loves her daddy. Besides we don't call her princess for nothing. She loves to get dressed up and be the center of attention. Do you have a certain dress type in mind" Mac asked me.

"Well I can picture her in a very sweet princess dress in lavender. Our colors are deep plum and lavender with pale pastel accents. Actually Rachel, Julie and I are going shopping this afternoon for my dress and Julie's dress. She doesn't know it yet but I want her to be my maid of honor. Would you and McKenzie be able to go dress shopping with us" I asked as I started yet another mental checklist.

"I think we could squeeze you in" Mac said playfully as McKenzie came over to sit by her mom.

"Mommy what are you and aunt Stephie talking about" McKenzie asked as she looked back and forth between us.

Mac looked at me and gave me a slight nod. "Well McKenzie your mom and I were just talking about mine and uncle Carlos' wedding and I was wondering if you would like to be our flower girl? If you think you might want to do it we would have to go shopping this afternoon for a pretty dress for you to wear" I said as she let out a very high squeal and lunged at me for a hug.

"I'll take that as I yes" I said dryly as I hugged her.

"Yes oh yes please! I've always wanted to be a flower girl but everyone mommy and daddy know are already married or don't have a girlfriend" she said in one big breath.

"Mommy can we go shopping with aunt Stephie please" she begged looking at her mom with a set of big, brown puppy dog eyes.

"Yes baby we can go shopping with her and guess who else will be with her" Mac asked looking at her daughter.

"Who" asked McKenzie "Julie will be there along with her mom Rachel" Mac told her as McKenzie got a huge smile on her face as she said "Julie is gonna come to? I love Julie. I haven't seen her in a long time. How long do we have to wait before we can go shopping" she asked while bouncing up and down on my lap.

"Well uncle Carlos and I have to talk to your mommy and daddy about some big people stuff, then we have to go back to work for awhile but how about I come and pick you and mommy up around 2pm. Would that be ok" I asked her while glancing at Mac for approval.

"I think that would work out well. That would give us time to do our chores this morning, then eat lunch and take a rest before we go shopping" Mac said with a smile.

"Daddy Daddy did you hear? I get to be the flower girl for aunt Stephie & uncle Carlos' wedding" McKenzie squealed as she launched herself at Harm.

"I heard that Princess. I also heard that you get to go shopping for a new dress. I believe your mom had asked you to clean up your toys in your room so how about you go do that while I talk to uncle Carlos" Harm told her as he dropped a kiss on her head and pointed her towards her bedroom.

A/N Ok I'm sorry this was so short but we are having Vacation Bible School this week at our church so I'm not getting home before 10pm & I'm going straight from work to VBS so I've had little down time to write between my hectic work schedule & my folks both having some health issues…..I have this mapped out just need to get there.
