Chapter 4
A
chance to fix things
Ten weeks later
Harm was
on the couch holding his eight weeks old son, Matthew Harmon Rabb.
Harm was still in awe by the little creature in his arms; his son.
Harm smiled and kissed little Matthews head, dreading the fact that
he had to leave him in a few minutes. It would be Mac and Harm's
first night out after Matthews birth; they were just going out for
dinner, leaving their son with Harm's parents for a few hours.
Harm
heard a knock on the apartment door; he stood to greet his parents,
taking his son with him.
“Hey mom, Frank.” Harm
bent down to give his mother a kiss on the cheek.
“Hey
Harm, and hey little man.” Trish greeted her son and grandson,
she took Matthew from Harm and sat down on the couch holding
him.
Harm shook hands with Frank, before they joined Trish.
“He has just eaten, so he'll probably sleep until we get back.
If he wakes up and is hungry there's milk in the fridge.”
“I
know Harm, I have taken care of children before.” Trish smiled
reassuringly. “Are you nervous about leaving him?”
Harm
tried to come off as calm and collected. “No.”
“He's
lying, he has been a nervous wreck all day.” Mac stepped out
from the bedroom. She smiled to Trish and Frank. “Hey, thank
you so much for watching him.”
“No problem Mac, we
want to spend as much time as we can with our grandson before we go
back to San Diego. You two go out and have fun.” Trish directed
the last part towards her son.
“Are we ready to go?”
Mac grabbed Harm's hand and dragged him out of the chair he was
sitting in.
“Sure, let's...Wow, you look beautiful.”
Harm took a real look at her for the first time that night.
“Thank
you.” Mac smiled. “I wanted to dress up for you.”
“I really appreciate it.” Harm bent down and
kissed her.
“Now, let's get out of here.” Mac said
when the kiss ended. She released Harm and went to kiss her son. Harm
followed her, he kissed Matthews head, then he watched the sleeping
child for a moment.
Mac took his hand and dragged him towards
the door. “Come on daddy, let's go.”
Harm took
one last look at his son before the door closed behind them, then he
reluctantly followed Mac out of the building.
“Why are
you so calm?” He took her hand and guided her to his
car.
“Because our son is in good hands, he'll be fine.”
She stopped when they reached the car, turned and put her hands
around his neck. “And because I'm looking forward to be out of
that apartment for a few hours, to spend time with you.” She
kissed him.
Harm deepened the kiss, then he released her. “I
love you.”
Mac smiled. “I love you too.”
Harm kissed her again, the he released her and opened the car
door. “Let's get some dinner.”
“That sounds
good, I'm starving.” Mac got in to the car.
Later
that night
It had been a wonderful night; Harm had taken
Mac to a restaurant where they had a dance floor.
They had enjoyed
a nice dinner, then they had spent the rest of the night dancing,
before it was time to get back to the baby.
“I had a
wonderful time tonight Harm.” Mac said as they hand in hand
walked to their car.
“I'm glad.” Harm stopped and
pulled her in to his arms.
“And thank you for
suppressing the need to call your mother.” Mac laughed and
kissed him.
“How did you know that I was thinking about
it?” Harm felt that he had been very successful in hiding the
fact that he wanted to call and check up on his son.
“I
just knew...you are a little overprotective.” Mac kissed him
again. “But it's one of the things I love the most about you.”
“I love you too.” Harm kissed her once more,
before he released her and lead her to their car. “Let's go
home to our son.”
Later that night
Everything
had gone well with Matthew, he had been an angel while his parents
were gone.
Mac was putting Matthew down after feeding him,
making sure he was asleep before she joined Harm in bed.
“Have
you noticed something different about me today?” Mac said after
she had cuddled into Harm's arms.
Harm hesitated, he tried to
think about what it could be. “No...I can't say that I
have.”
Mac put her hands on his chest. “Nothing
different?”
Harm studied her intensely, then he shook
his head. “No, I really can't find anything different about
you.”
Mac smiled and waved a hand in front of his eyes.
“Look more closely.”
Harm grabbed her hand and
kissed it. “Seriously Mac, I've studied you closely all night.
I have no idea what's diff...” He took a closer look at her
hand. “The ring.”
Mac smiled. “I figured it
was time.”
Harm studied her hand. “Does this mean
that you'll marry me?”
“Yes I will.” Mac
put her forehead against his. “I love you.”
Harm's
face cracked in to a smile. “I love you too.” Then he
kissed her.
