AN: So it is offically over. Sorry it is short, this is an epilouge. I would like to thank each one of you who has read my story, especailly Saissa, ArmyDT42, VisualIDentificationZeta, rlrct, Jeneral2885, Michi uk, jpstar57, byrhthelm, jslee102, and to gunsbuster who changed this from a oneshot into the monster it is today. Also to my own Butterfly, for all the times you helped me. I choose not to show Meg and Harm coming together, instead I believe that is best left to the imagination, but I hope you enjoy. Miss you all!

Harm started making some phone calls. Things were falling into place slowly but surely. Meg was nestled besides him on the porch swing. Her body fit perfectly into his. Everything felt right.
First call was to Skates. Harm broke the news of the newfound relationship. Meg then kidnapped his phone to have a long chat to her alone. When she came back Meg was smiling that full blown cheeky Meg grin. It intoxicated him. He grinned goofily back at her. "What was that about?"
The swing creaked as Meg settled back down beside him. "Need to know. An you…"
"Don't need to know." They finished together. Both smiled.
He took his phone from her. "Do I call the Admiral now, or wait until we arrive?"
Meg thought for a minute. "We better tell Harriet and Bud now. The Admiral can wait." She cuddled up to Harm as a breeze blew past.
He smiled. "Okay then." They sat together in silence. "It is going to be some job to drag you outta bed in the morning."
Meg stuck her tongue out at him. "Me? Speak for yourself. I have been the first one up for a while."
"I am on holiday."
Meg smiled. "Well someone better be up because all the evidence is pointing toward you as the guilty party."
"Well when I had to wake you up to drag you out here…" Harm was fighting a losing battle.
She relaxed against him. "I hadn't slept in a week almost."
"I concede."
Meg punched her fist in the air. "I win!"
Harm sat up, causing Meg to sit up too. "This was a competition?"
She smiled cheekily at him. "It was. And I won."
"Did you now?" Harm leaned closer. Meg bit her lip. She nodded. "Well then your reward ma'am." And he kissed her long and hard.
"We should do this more often."
"I concur."

Arriving back at Meg's Harm set down his bag. "Jack better be careful driving my buddy's motorcycle back."
Meg came up behind him. "He will Harm. Trust me, you told him enough times."
Harm headed for the kitchen. "Coffee?"
Meg nodded. Then realized he couldn't see her. "Yes, thank-you."
Meg realized how domestic this felt. In her apartment, her unpacking and him making her coffee. She liked it. Maybe she wasn't quite the old Meg again, but she was starting to come to terms with the new Meg. It was time to talk to the Admiral.

"Reporting for duty sir."
The Admiral looked up from his work. "Rabb! Nice to see you again." He got up and walked around his desk. "Lt Austin I don't remember summoning you." His face was confused.
Harm stepped forward. "We have some things to say." He paused.
The Admiral leaned forward expectantly. "Well go ahead Rabb…"
"Yes sir." Meg felt so nervous. "The Lt Austin and I find ourselves in a relationship."
The Admiral took a step backwards. "Find yourselves?! Did you lose yourselves also!" He muttered to himself and paced. "Romantic I suppose?"
Harm nodded. The Admiral glared at him. "Yes sir."
The sounds of the JAG office could be heard. Piles of paper leaned precariously on the Admirals desk. "You realize that you can't work together?"
Meg answered this time. "Yes sir. We have plans."
"Pray tell me these 'plans' and soon."
Meg quickly glanced at Harm who gave her a reassuring smile. "I have applied for a position opening as a computer analyst in Naval Intelligence." She smiled slightly and watched the admirals face.
He sighed. "So I am to lose a good lawyer?"
Harm stepped back in. "She couldn't work anyway." Meg glared at him. Harm shrugged, it was true. But he did smile at her apologetically.
The Admiral looked at the two of them. "Made up your minds already I suppose?" They nodded. "Well then Meg you have a good reference." He walked back to his desk. "Rabb, I have two new cases files for you to look at. Better team up with Krennick." The Admiral grinned at Harm's wince and Meg's eyes reflecting a little jealousy. "Dismissed."
"Yes sir." They both turned around.
The Admiral looked up. "Oh and congratulations."
Meg and Harm smiled at each other. "Thank-you sir." The door swung shut behind them.
The Admiral picked up a pen. The two idiots, they were going to be an interesting couple. Poor children. He chuckled. Their offspring were going to have the Rabb knack for getting into trouble and Meg's spunk, as well as stubbornness and enough cheekiness. Lots of trouble.

Harm walked alone. The Wall was deserted; it was too late for the normal visitor to be out. Harm was glad. Meg was at home cooking them dinner. She had been so happy to get a call accepting her job offer. Harm had given her a kiss that beat any of her promotion kisses. He smiled as he walked. His eyes searched for a certain name. When he found it, Harm reached up. His fingers gently ran over the letters. "Hello sir." Harm glanced around. "I know your daughter. In fact she is waiting for me tonight." He dropped his hand. "I just wanted to let you know that I will take good care of her." He ran a hand through his hair. "Also sir I wanted to ask you an important question. Do I have permission to marry your daughter?"
