Harm and Mac’ house, November 28, 2014

Mac slowly moved down the stairs pleased that her knee didn’t feel that bad. She had hurt her knee while kick boxing two weeks ago and tore the anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee. It was just another reminder that she wasn’t getting any younger. As she walked into the kitchen, her husband hurried to stand to hold out a chair for her.
“Harm, I can get my own coffee,” Mac said as she walked over to get a mug.
“Mattie, back me up here,” Harm pleaded as he moved his wife over to the chair after giving her a sweet kiss.
“Actually, if there’s no pain and she doesn’t overdo it there’s no reason not to walk a little. Plenty of people function well with this type of injury,” Mattie said and got a sweet smile in return from her Mom.
Harm put coffee in front of his wife and pointed a finger at his daughter. “Traitor.”
“I’m feeling fine, Harm. If my checkup goes well today my Doctor will schedule the surgery for Monday morning,” Mac said and sipped her coffee.
“I’m just saying that even you can slow down a little when you have reason to,” Harm reasoned.
“I do have to agree with Dad on that one,” Mattie said and stood. “I better get going. Thanks for breakfast again.” Mattie hugged both her parent’s and her little brother, before leaving.
“Chris Anderson’s Dad had surgery to his hand, and the surgeon made a mistake and removed the whole hand,” Matthew said.
Harm and Mac shared an amused look. “Mr. Anderson has both his hands. I play basket with him every Tuesday night,” Harm said.
“Then Chris was lying,” Matthew, said with a shrug.
“My knee will be fine,” Mac reassured just as Nathan and Claire joined them.
“We’re leaving now,” Nathan said.
Mac stood. “Have a nice day, and give Grams our love. Drive carefully.” Nathan and Claire would leave for Belleville when they finished school in the afternoon and spend the weekend with Grams.
“We will,” Nathan promised and hugged his Mom.
“Take it easy with the knee, Mom,” Claire said and hugged her Mom too.
“I promise,” Mac said as she watched her husband hand their son the key to the SUV.
“The roads might be icy and I’d feel better if you take the four wheel drive,” Harm said.
Nathan nodded and took the key, handing his Dad the key to his own car. “I figured you’d say that.”
“Call when you’re there,” Harm said as he hugged their daughter. “I love you guys.”
“Love you too, Dad,” Nathan said.
“What about me? Don’t I get a hug?” Matthew said from his place by the table.
Both Claire and Nathan walked over and hugged him. “Don’t mess around in the attic, I just organized and cleaned,” Nathan warned.
“I will do my best,” Matthew said with a teasing gleam in his eyes. “Tell Grams that I’ll come see her soon, and if she wants to she can send with you some of her cookies on Sunday.”
Mac shook her head in amusement by her youngest son. “Come on Matthew, we don’t want you to be late for school.”
“Don’t we?” Matthew joked as he stood.
Harm chuckled as his son ran out of the kitchen to get his things. “Let’s get going.”

Later that night Mac was relaxing on the couch with a book after a disappointing day. The Doctor hadn’t been willing to schedule her surgery the following week because she still had some swelling in the knee. Mac had hoped that she would get it over with, but instead she’d have to wait one more week.
Harm joined her in the living room and put popcorn in front of her. He smiled as he handed her her favorite chocolate bar.
“Are you trying to get me fat?” Mac mumbled.
Harm chuckled. “You could use some meat on those bones,” he teased, but sobered up when he noticed that she didn’t think he was funny. “You look perfect.”
“I’m bored,” Mac mumbled as she reached for the chocolate bar.
Harm sat down behind her. “I can show you a good time,” he said and started kissing her neck.
Mac rolled her eyes. “Typical men, thinking that sex can solve everything.”
Harm smiled and ended his assault on her neck. “Hey, why so grumpy baby? Does the knee hurt?”
Mac shook her head. “No, I’m just disappointed. I’m getting old.”
“Come on, that’s not true. Young people just as often get this type of injury doing sports, you know that,” Harm put his arms around her. “We still have many good years left.”
Mac shrugged. “I guess. I was just really excited about the Potter Court Martial. Now it’ll be at least four weeks until I’m back on full duty.”
Harm nodded. “Yes, but look on the bright side, you’ll get to spend a lot of time with your wonderful husband who has taken the next three weeks off just to be with you.”
“You did that?” She turned to look at him.
“Of course I did. We can read books and catch up on those movies we’ve wanted to, but been too busy to watch. It’ll be like three weeks of dating,” he said.
Mac smiled. “I appreciate it, but do you really have time for that?”
“Hey, I’m retired so I can do whatever I want to. My civilian career is more like a hobby,” Harm said with a cute smile.
Mac was about to reply when Matthew came running downstairs. “Can I have popcorn?”
“Come here,” Mac opened her arms to her son. “Come give your old Mom a hug.”
Matthew walked over and hugged his Mom. “Can I have chocolate too?”
“We can share it,” Mac said and reached for the chocolate. “What movie do you want to watch?”
They decided on a movie, and halfway through it Matthew was in deep sleep. Mac noticed that also her husband had dosed off, so she stood and cleaned up before she woke up her son and told him to brush his teeth and go to bed.
She shook Harm’s shoulder softly. “Wake up, sleepy.”
Harm opened his eyes slowly. “Is the movie over?”
Mac laughed softly. “Come on, time for bed.”
Harm stood and followed her upstairs. While they were getting ready for bed, he remembered that there was something he needed to talk to her about.
“Hey, honey,” he sat down on the bed and watched as she stepped out of the bathroom, toothbrush in her mouth, looking questioningly at him. “There’s something I need to talk to you about.”
She disappeared inside the bathroom again, and appeared without the toothbrush. “What’s up?”
“It’s no big deal, but I feel you should know anyway. I was going to tell you when I got back from the seminar, but you had hurt your knee and I forgot… Anyway, and don’t freak out, but I was hit on.”
Mac shrugged. “So?”
“Well, it was weird, because I was having a conversation, about the law, with this woman who’s a lawyer for a firm in Ohio. It was professional, and at the end of the night she came on to me, like I had sent out some signal or something.” Harm stood. “I’m not sending out the wrong signals, am I?”
“Well, you’re not that ugly to look at,” Mac said with a small laughter. “Come on, this happens to you all the time.”
“That’s different; it’s more innocent when a woman at McMurphy’s ask me to buy her a drink while I’m out with the guys. However, this woman I actually had a long professional conversation with, I even talked about my wife the judge,” Harm said as he removed his t-shirt.
“Some people just doesn’t have scruples, you know that,” Mac reassured him.
“I guess. I just don’t want to come off as a guy who would betray my wife like that,” Harm said as he removed his pants and socks and threw them in the hamper. “Anyway, I just wanted you to know.”
“You know I don’t tell you every time someone come on to me, right?” Mac asked.
“I usually don’t do either, mostly because I don’t think about it afterwards, but this was different,” Harm smiled as he stepped closer to her. “So, you don’t think I’m ugly to look at, huh?”
Mac laughed. “No way, you’re handsome and sweet, and you have all these great superpowers. It’s no wonder women are falling wherever you go.”
“Now you’re just teasing, baby,” Harm accused.
Mac moved into his embrace, put her face close to his and whispered; “Why don’t you show me a good time, sailor.”
Harm hesitated. “Sarah, you’re hurt. We probably should wait to engage in any physical activity.”
Mac offered a cute pout. “Please, I’m really feeling a lot better. The knee barely hurts anymore. I really want you to make love to me.”
Harm smiled. “How can I resist. I’ll be gentle.”
Mac kissed him deeply. “Don’t be gentle, be good.”
They shared another mind-blowing kiss, which led to more kisses.
