Lieutenant Elizabeth "Skates" Hawkes arrived to Bethesda Hospital for her flight physical that the Navy required her to have after hers and Harm's little dip and in the Atlantic. Skates wasn't worried at all. She felt better than she ever had before.

The doctor drew blood and checked her out. Everything went great for her physical or so she thought. The doctor came in and told her there was a problem.

Now Skates was parked outside Harm's apartment. She had to talk to him. She walked up the stairs since she hated the elevator. She knocked on his door and waited for him to open it.

Harm opened the door and said "Skates? This is a surprise come on in."

"Thanks Hammer!"

Thankfully no one else was there. She had been worried about that. She took a deep breath.

Harm beat her to it "Skates, what's wrong?"

"Harm, I had my physical today. There was a small problem and I am not cleared for flight ops."

"What?! You look great! What's wrong?"

"Harm, you remember when you asked me if I jumped your bones and I said no."

"Yeah and I believed you!"

"I lied!"

"What?"

"Well I didn't exactly jump your bones. The corpsman locked up in the room for the night and I stripped us of clothes. Mainly because your body temperature was so low, all your wet clothes had to come off. I used my body to warm you."

"Ok? I am not following Skates."

"Well Harm sometime during the night little Harm woke up and entered me. I guess we did it during our sleep. I got dressed in the morning and didn't say anything because I thought it was just on the outside of my leg. I was wrong because I am pregnant."

"You're PREGNANT?"

"Yeah!"

"Are you sure it's mine?"

"Yes you idiot! I am not a slut!"

"I wasn't calling you that! What about your fiancé?"

"Never was one sir! Had to keep you boys away. That didn't work out too well."

Harm grabbed Skates and gave her a hug. "Skates, what are you going to do?"

"I am having this baby Harm!"

"Ok what about the Navy?"

"I am going to work for Admiral Boone at the Pentagon. After my orders got cancelled he called me."

"Ok you are going to be in DC then?"

"Yes!"

"Elizabeth Hawkes, I have a secret to tell you. I have wanted to date you since I saved you from floating over the side in your parachute."

"Really Harm?"

"Yes really! You are a great girl. Hell you know me better now than anyone else."

"Yeah, we really do don't we?"

Harm hugged her again and then tilted her head up and kissed her on the lips for the first time.

Beth moaned with pleasure. God how she had wanted to have him do that for so long now. Harm had wanted to do that for a long time too.

They sat down on the couch and started talking trying to figure things out. Harm wasn't going to let Beth go through her pregnancy alone. Harm knew Beth wouldn't be able to afford anything on her Lieutenant's pay and he knew she was too stubborn to let him help her.

Harm walked Beth to her car and gave her a goodnight kiss.

Harm knew he would do the right thing but would Beth let him?

Harm decided to take her up to his favorite place in the world. His grandmother's farm. He had to talk to the Admiral. Thankfully Beth didn't report for duty until next week.

Harm arrived to JAG HQ early to speak with the Admiral. He knew it wouldn't go well but he hoped he wouldn't end up facing charges. He knocked on the Admiral's door and heard "Enter!"

The Admiral spoke first. "Mr. Rabb you are here awful early today?"

"Yes sir! I had a personal issue to discuss with you sir."

"Alright, out with it."

"After my crash last month sir, the corpsman aboard ship couldn't get my body temperature to rise. They allowed Lieutenant Hawkes to try sharing body heat with me. The left her and I alone overnight. Something happened overnight while both us were unconscious, not certain how but it did."

Interrupting the admiral said "Get to the point Mr. Rabb!"

"Sir, Lieutenant Hawkes is pregnant and its mine."

"What? You two conceived aboard ship?"

"Admiral Ingles is not filing charges against Lieutenant Hawkes since she was trying to save my life. We didn't intend on anything happening."

"Well I guess I won't press charges either. Are you going to make her an honest woman?"

"I am going to try sir. We have a special bond. I am certain the Colonel is going to be mad at me."

"When is she not lately? Thankfully she just took a TAD billet. She'll be gone six months. Is there anything else?"

"Yes sir, I would like to secure early Friday. I am going to take Beth up to my grandmother's farm."

"Granted and I will allow you to attend her doctor's appointments as long as you are not in court or on an investigation."

"Thank you sir!"

"Dismissed!"

Harm beat a quick retreat from the Admiral's office.
