Title - Separations, Spies and a dog Part 3
Author - usmgrad
A little background - Harm and Mac married sometime in season eight/nine so no Paraguay, no endometriosis, no Mattie. When they married Harm stayed at JAG while Mac transferred to another post in the DC area, working entirely with Marines. AJ retired and General Creswell is in command of JAG.
The next morning
Mac woke and found herself in bed, alone. Remembering her husband's restless night she quickly got up to search for him. She found him, wide awake in the kitchen, drinking one of his “healthy” protein shakes. She was relieved that he appeared to be alright, but concerned about possible side effects from night’s tossing, turning and confusion. 'Keep it light', she thought to herself 'just observe him for a while and determine if he was really okay.'
She leaned against the door frame, “What happened to forty-eight hours in bed?”
Harm looked up and smiled, “Someone” (pointing to Charlie) “needed to go out. Seems I was the only one he could wake up.”
Mac yawned, “Sorry about that.”
She looked over at Charlie, “Why does he look so tired?”
“Maybe because we went jogging this morning.”
That was unexpected, “How long have you been up?”
Harm laughed, “Long enough to go jogging.”
Harm joined his wife and gave her a proper good morning kiss. “By the way I just want to point out that this (waving his hand in the air) is by no means the way things are going to be when junior gets here.”
Mac was enjoying the ‘up close and personal’ good morning greeting and was relieved Harm seemed to be alright. However her expression indicated he needed to explain his last statement.
“Me getting up at all hours of the day and night while you stay in bed.”
Mac pulled her husband closer, “I don’t know it could have its advantages.”
Ham pulled back, allowing some space between them, “Nope Charlie and I have decided, you have to do your fair share.”
“You and Charlie huh?”
They broke their embrace and Harm moved toward the kitchen, continuing with his explanation, “Charlie and I had a long talk this morning.”
“Oh due tell.” Mac followed.
“Yah, us guys have to stick together.” Harm began to throw things into the blender.
“Uh huh." Mac was interested in Harm's conversation with Charlie, but she getting a bit concerned with what Harm was doing with the blender.
"What are you doing?”
Pointing in the general vicinity of Mac's abdomen, “The baby needs protein.”
Rescuing a banana before it's thrown into the blender, “I get plenty of protein from the meat I eat. I am not drinking that,” pointing to the blender.
“But it’s good for you.”
“So is liver, but you won’t find me eating it either.”
Mac finished the banana, and then moved to in front of her husband. Reaching up she lightly touched his right arm. “You going to tell me about this?”
Looking at the bandaged arm, “it's not what you think”
“It's not a gunshot wound received while out on a patrol?”
“Okay it's exactly what you think. How did you know?”
“I told you last night, I have spies.”
“Spies, huh? Sounds like you've been talking to Jack "big mouth" Keeter.”
“I'll never reveal my source. You should have told me last night. What am I going to do with you?
“I was a little busy with other activities last night and I have some ideas about what you can do with me." Harm was trying to sell it with an all out, full watted smiled, but Mac wasn't buying it. She waited with her arms crossed for his explanation.
"The doctor said it was a simple flesh wound, nothing to be concerned about.”
“Well, I am concerned.”
“And I love you for it.” Harm kissed his wife and headed toward the bedroom.
Mac didn’t expect him to leave the room so soon, it was just getting interesting. “Where are you going?”
“To take a shower.” He replied over his shoulder, not bothering to turn around.
Mac was surprised at the turn of events. Maybe he wasn't as well as she thought. “Do you want some company?”
Harm turned and smiled, “I thought you'd never ask.”
Then again . . . Mac moved quickly to join him.
Harm looked at her seriously, “there are a few things we need to get straight. There are way too many people in this marriage."
"What?" Mac was worried again, this didn’t sound like Harm.
"No more spies” he was very firm.
Mac relaxed and teased “But they're so much fun.”
Shaking his head, “They have to go. “
Not wanting to delay the shower any longer than necessary, Mac quickly agreed. “Okay no more spies. What about the dog?”
“Charlie? Charlie stays. I'm not about to be out numbered in my own house.”
Macs looked at him puzzled.
Harm reached down and caressed Mac's abdomen, ‘holding’ his child.
“It's a girl, with her mother's smile and laughter. And she'll melt my heart with her big brown eyes, just like her mother does.”
Mac held the tears at bay, “Well let’s' just hope she doesn't have her father's sense of timing.”
“Funny Mac, very funny.“
And so life has returned to normal in the McKenzie Rabb household.
Well, as normal as you can get with separations, spies, a dog and . . . a baby on the way!
