Worth the Change

Somewhere in Georgetown

"Is this seat taken handsome?" Harm looked up to see Mac standing there with a wide smile.

"Hey, no, have a seat. I was beginning to worry about you. Did your appointment show up?"

With a snort of disdain Mac answered, " Yeah, about 20 minutes ago. Not only was he an hour late, with no phone call, he brought his girlfriend along for the ride."

Harms eyebrows shot up to his hairline, " His girlfriend? He's claiming he didn’t commit adultery, but he comes to a meeting with his wife's attorney with his girlfriend?"

Mac unbuttoned her suit jacket and laid it over her chair. " I guess we could try to charge him with being an idiot on top of the adultery." Turning to Harm she added," I don’t want to talk about work tonight. I want to relax and enjoy the evening."



A young woman approached the couple, " What can I get for you this evening?"

Harm placed his order and sat amused as he listened to Macs extensive list of culinary desires. Barely containing his laughter he said," You know, there was a time when you hated it here."

Mac took a sip of her water before replying, " Yeah, well, nothing stays the same."

Leaning over Harm placed a kiss to the corner of Mac's lips, " Tell me about it." He then moved his hand to the slightly rounded baby bump on her middle. " I'm glad your here." He said, adding another kiss, this one to her lips.

Mac smiled at that," I just figured since this kid is going to be half you and half me, I should indulge the half of you side once in a while. A trip to the Bean Sprout for dinner isn’t going to kill me and I really enjoy the effects tofu seems to have on your libido, Mr. Rabb."

Deep inside his mother, Jacob Lucas Rabb could hear the hearty laughter shared by both of his parents. Safe in the knowledge that he was loved.
