April 2000
Mac was now eight months pregnant. Rose and Patrick seemed to slowly understand what would be comeing next month. For now they seemed to accept it. But both Mac and Harm knew that that could change again when the baby would be there.
Aside from that the Rabb family was happy now. The only thing that worried Harm was his mothers behaviour. After they had told her that Mac and he would have a third child she starting becoming the old one again. Like she was after Rose´s birth. But Harm told her to stay away from his family if she had such attetudes.
Somehow Harm knew right away that his mother would not stop bothering his wife and children. She even watched them while they were at the playground. When Harm came home in the evening Mac talked to him. "Harm." "Yes sweetheart." "I need to talk to you." "my mother?" "Yes." "What about her?" "I was at the playground with the kids and whe was watching us from behind a tree." "Great." "Could you please talk to her." "I will." "Thank you."
The next morning Harm wanted to talk to his mother. He had asked her to come to his office. "Harm!" "Mom!" She sat down across from her son. "Mom why are you watching Sarah and the kids at the playground. I told you to stay away from my family." "Why should I. They are my grandchildren." "Not anymore. If you act like that. We told you the same thing after Rose was born and you did as we asked you to. We even invited you to Patrick´s baptizm. And now that mac is pregnant again we inform you and the next thing we know is that you are harrasing us again." "Well you cannot forbid it." Harm called Bud who came into the office a minute later.
"Harm!" "Bud come in." He shook hands with Harm´s mother. "How can I help you?" "Bud get me a judge on the phone now." "Yes sir." Bud leaves the office and a minute later Harm is talking to a judge. "Judge this is Commandor Rabb calling from the JAG. Sir I need a restraining order against Louise Rabb, my mother for harassing my mother." ………"Yes sir it is a matter of safety for my wife our two children and our unbron child." ……. "Thank you Sir."
After Harm has ended the conversation. "I requested a restraining order again you. It was granted. You and I will get a copy in the next few days." "Why?" "Because you did not listen. If you act against it you will be arested and taken into custody."
When Harm arrived at home in the evening he told Mac right away what had happened. "A restraining order?" "Yes. Now she has to stay away from us." "Thank God." The family was happy to not get disturbed anymore.
