Chapter 1
September 23, 2004
1300 EST
Dulles International Airport
Airport Security Checkpoint
Sarah stood and watched Clay impatiently as he prepared to leave for yet another mission. They had argued all morning after his cell rang at 0700 EST taking him away from her when this was supposed to be their weekend together. Sarah had something she needed to discuss with Clay, which was making her extremely agitated at this point in time.
"Sarah, you know I have to go. Don't you realize that it's not as if I really want to go?"
"Then don't go, Clay," she snapped as Clay went the security checkpoint.
Finally through Clay turned to look back at Sarah. Even angry, she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. "I have no choice, Sarah, I have to go."
"Then I guess you don't want to know that I'm three months pregnant!" and with that said she turned and stomped away leaving Clay with a look of shock on his face.
"Sarah! Sarah!" he called after her.
She heard him call her name and she straightened her spine continuing to walk away, never looking back.

JAG Headquarters
Falls Church, Virginia
Clayton Webb stormed into the bullpen at JAG Headquarters like a whirlwind, he was looking for Sarah. His six-week mission had turned into three and half months! And he had not been able to contact Sarah the entire time he was gone. He had tried, when possible, to contact her, but she was not answering her phone; at work, home, or her cell. Scanning the bullpen, Clay headed for her office. Not finding her there, he headed for AJ's office. Ignoring the Petty Officer Coates, Clay headed straight for the door.
Coates' voice stops him just as he is reaching for the knob. "The Admiral is in a meeting Mr. Webb. If you'll wait…" she never got the chance to finish as Clay pushed past her and opened the door, letting himself in.
Quickly Clay glanced around the room but didn't see his prey. "Where is she, AJ?" he growled.
Looking up at the only person who would dare barge into his office, AJ addressed Clay, "Well, hello to you too, Webb. I don't remember inviting you to this meeting. And where is who?"
"Sarah," replied the obviously frustrated man.
"Colonel Mackenzie is on TDY, Webb," AJ answered, while thinking, 'Okay something is wrong here so I am going to play along with him for now."
"Where?" he demanded, in full spook-mode, as he tried to glean the information he needed from an unwilling source.
"Why should I tell you?"
Finally tired of the game, Clay let his anger show through, "Where is she, AJ?"
"Okay, Webb, I'll play along with your game. She's in Iraq."
"Iraq?! Have you lost your mind?" the spook bellowed.
AJ didn't appreciate this tone of voice, but continued, "It was her turn to go TDY, Webb. She's a Marine, so goes where she's told to go."
Clay looked at AJ as if he had lost his mind. "Then you don't know?"
"Know what?" answered an exasperated AJ.
"Sarah is six and a half months pregnant!" Clay slumps into one of the chairs in front of AJ's desk. It appeared as if someone had let the air out of him.
"She's what?! Coates get Lieutenant Roberts and Commander Rabb in her on the double!" bellowed AJ.
Within a few moments there was a knock at the door. "Roberts and Rabb reporting as ordered, Sir!" answer both men together, as they noticed the other occupant of the room.
"Gentlemen, were either of you aware that Colonel Mackenzie is pregnant?" Stunned silence was his answer.
"Mac's pregnant Sir? Are you sure?" Rabb whispered, dreading the answer.
"According to Mr. Webb, she is six and a half months along."
All heads turn to look at Clay, and Harm, forgetting all decorum, snarled, "You bastard! You let her take this assignment being pregnant?"
