Subject: Weekend at the farm part 2

Part 2

Belleville, Pennsylvania

Harm and Mac went to pick up a few things for the party the next day, and then they decided to have coffee at the nice café where they always went when they were in town. The place held many great memories for them from the first years of their marriage.
“Harmon Rabb, come here and give me a hug.”
Harm smiled widely to the woman in front of him. “Bella, you look great. How are you?”
Bella owned the café and she was the mother of one of Harm’s childhood friends. “Doing great. Hi, Mac. It’s good to see you guys. I’m stopping by tomorrow with a little something for our jubilant.”
“I think Grams will love it if you do.” Harm took Mac’s hand and followed Bella to a table. “Our usual.”
Bella smiled. “I’ll be right back.”
Harm held the chair out for Mac, and then he sat down beside her. “It seems like forever since Matthew broke Bella’s vase, huh? And the way he used to run right into the kitchen all the time.”
“He was such a monster to bring anywhere,” Mac said with a loving smile. “He’s growing up so fast.”
“Yeah,” Harm agreed.
Bella arrived with their coffee and muffins; they talked for a few minutes before she had to take care of something in the kitchen.
Harm took Mac’s hand. “How are you doing?”
Mac smiled warmly. “Happy that the trial is over.”
“You didn’t like it when that reporter talked about you as the hottest Military judge in history?” Harm teased.
“I missed that, actually,” Mac hesitated. “It’s always hard when there’s kids involved.”
Harm nodded. “True, but I think the jury did a fine job with the verdict.”
“Absolutely,” Mac sipped her coffee. “I’ve missed you guys so much.”
“We missed you too,” Harm squeezed her hand and smiled.
Mac got a mischievous look on her face as she shifted so that she was closer to him. “Do you know what I’ve missed the most?”
Harm hesitated suspiciously. “What?”
Mac moved her mouth towards his ear and whispered. “I’m going to show you tonight.”
Harm swallowed hard as he felt his body react to her closeness. “You better.”

Later that day
Rabb farm

The wind had picked up outside and small drops of rain had started falling. The whole family had gathered inside the living room after dinner deciding that since the weather would turn worse they’d find a movie to watch. Grams DVD collection wasn’t the best, but they agreed to watch “Ratatouille” since Grams loved Disney movies.
“They are just so sweet and innocent. And I haven’t watched that one in a long time.” Grams said.
Harm put the DVD on and got comfortable on the couch with Mac in his arms. There had been a time when he thought that he would be one of those middle-aged men living alone, never marrying or having kids. Looking around the room now, he felt very lucky.
As the movie ended, the wind had really picked up and the rain was drumming towards the windows. Mac stood and walked over to the big living room window and looked outside.
“I love storms,” she said with a sweet smile.
“How can you love storms?” Trish asked as she looked more worried when the thunder begun to roll. “I hate bad weather. And the thunder scares me.”
“It’s just something magical about storms. The world go crazy for a moment, showing off its powers and when it ends it’s like everything is new and fresh again.” Mac turned towards the others.
“Well, I’m tired. I think I’ll head to bed.” Grams stood and smiled. “Good night all my precious people.”
They all said good night to Grams. Matthew yawned widely and Mac suggested that he too go to bed.
“Will you be okay with Nathan?” Mac said as she walked her son towards the room that he shared with his big brother.
“I’ll be fine, Mom. I’m not scared of the thunder.” Matthew found his pajama and headed for the bathroom to get ready for the night.
An hour later, the house was quiet, except from voices coming from Mattie’s room where she was telling her younger siblings scary stories, the wind shook the house and the rain was still drumming on the windows. Mac finished in the bathroom and walked to the far end of the second floor where her and Harm’s room was. Harm was already in bed waiting for her. She smiled as she closed the door and turned to him, removing her robe and standing in front of him in the sexy underwear she had bought while she was away.
Harm smiled as she moved closer to hm. “I can like this.”
Mac got on the bed and kissed him deeply. “Oh I think you will.”

The next morning, Rabb farm
The weather had improved the next morning. The sky was still cloudy, but the sun threatened to push past them as the wind moved around some fallen autumn leaves.
Harm whistled as he walked into the kitchen. “Happy birthday, Grams.” He walked over to her and hugged her.
“Thank you, dear.” Grams smiled warmly as she studied her grandson. “You seem chipper this morning.”
Harm smiled as he walked over to his wife and kissed her. “It’s a great morning.”
Mac’s eyes sparkled as she agreed with him. “It is.”
“I’m not even going to ask what you two have been up to,” Grams said teasingly.
“Eww,” Mattie said. “Trying to eat here people.”
“Talking about people, where’s the other three Rabb monsters?” Harm asked.
“Deeply asleep,” Mac said with a shrug. “Mattie kept them awake with scary stories last night.”
“Just doing my big sister duties,” Mattie said with a sweet smile.
Just then, Matthew walked into the kitchen. “Morning. Happy birthday Grams.”
“Come here and give me a big hug,” Grams demanded. “Please tell me that your sister didn’t scare you with her stories last night?”
Matthew hugged her and smiled. “No way. I was the one who scared Mattie.”
“That little brat hid in my closet with Dad’s old clown mask, and jumped out right in front of me,” Mattie confirmed.
“It was epic,” Matthew said and high fived his father.

Later that night Harm found Mac in the kitchen, cleaning up after Grams birthday party. Harm walked up behind her and put his arms around her waist.
“Are you going to help?” Mac asked.
“Nah, let’s make out instead,” Harm suggested.
Mac laughed as she turned in his arms. “You know what?”
“What?”
“I love you.”
“I love you too.” He smiled and kissed her softly.
“Harmon Rabb junior, wasn’t you supposed to tell Sarah that your aunt and her family wants to say goodbye?”
Harm turned towards his grandmother with a charming smile. “Sorry Grams, I got distracted.”
Mac smiled and excused herself. “Typical Harm.”
Ham chuckled. “So, Grams, did you have good day?”
“I’ve had an amazing day, thank you Harm.” Grams patted his cheek lovingly. “Seeing you so happy makes my old heart very happy.”
“I’m a lucky man.” Harm kissed his grandmother’s cheek. “And I’m lucky to have such a wonderful Grams.”
“Well, your old Grams are very proud of you and your accomplishments. Moreover, it is nice that one of the Rabb men gets to see his children grow up.” Grams wiped away a tear. “I always get sentimental when I see you with your kids. You’re such a good Dad.”
“Thank you Grams, it means a lot to me that you say that.” Harm hugged his grandmother.

The weekend flew and soon it was time to leave the farm and head back to D.C. Harm and Mac went for a run before breakfast, enjoying the fresh air and beautiful autumn colors. As they got back to the house Mattie was packing her stuff into the car, ready to go home.
“Are you leaving already?” Harm asked.
“Yes, I have some stuff to do before my shift tonight. See you guys at the house later,” Mattie hugged her Dad.
“Bye, honey,” Mac hugged her too. “I love you.”
“Love you guys too.” Mattie smiled as she got into the car.
Harm took Mac’s hand as they walked to the house. “I guess it’s back to reality tomorrow,” Mac said with a pout.
“Enjoying your leave, Colonel?” Harm teased.
“Very much,” Mac smiled as she stopped her husband and turned to look around the farm. “Let’s make a deal.”
“What?” Harm was curious.
“When I decide to retire, we’ll move out here,” Mac turned to her husband. “Or at least when the kids have moved out.”
Harm nodded. “That’s a deal.”
They shook hands and smiled.
