AN: I'm truly sorry for this late and short update, but have spent all day working on restoring my bike with my father and have returned only an hour ago (10 PM in our timeline).

Thank you all for reviews, I love contact with my readers!

Les: Thanks, I'm glad you like them. I just wish there were more people writing Harm/Singer so that I could have something new of this pairing to read...

anon: thank you for giving this story a chance. Mac's reaction... let's just say Mac will react the way in which I've never wrote her before.

Rose: thanks, will most definitely try.

A few minutes later they managed to calm themselves down from their laughter.

Chegwidden rose from his seat and came around the table, to stand in front of Harm who rose also.

"Sorry for not saying this earlier, CDR, but congratulations on the marriage and the baby! I'm truly happy for you. You definitely deserve the happiness marriage and family bring."

They shook hands and Chegwidden clapped Harm on his shoulder, then returned to his chair.

"Now lets get these charges against your wife dropped and bring her home."

Harm beamed "Yes, sir!" while Chegwidden picked up the phone and demanded to be connected to USS Seahawk. After a minute he was finally connected to the ship and Captain Johnson came on the line. Chegwidden put him on speaker so Harm could hear, what was being said, too.

"Good afternoon, Admiral, how can I help you?"

"Captain Johnson, the charges against LT Singer are being dropped. You are to notify the LT and secure a spot on the next COD for her to return home. Unfortunately her condition prevents her from serving the whole term as the Fleet JAG, as pregnant women are not allowed to serve in hazardous conditions."

"Aye, sir. May I ask, sir, how can you be so sure of her innocence?"

"Because I am right now staring at her husband, Captain."

"Husband? Why then didn't she say so immediately?"

"Apparently they've decided to keep it quiet for a while."

"Keept it quiet? That means it's a fresh marriage. How fresh?"

Chegwidden looked at Harm if he was allowed to spill the beans. Harm, having heard the entire conversation, just nodded resignedly. Better to be honest than get into trouble.

"This is your ears and eyes only, Captain. None of this goes any further. It's their decision when to break the news and they will be the ones to do it."

"Of course, sir. One moment, sir."

They could hear Johnson ordering everyone out of the room and then turn the devices, that were recording the conversation, off.

"Ready, sir."

"They got married after she was tranferred out of here and before she reported to Seahawk."

"Hmm. Why do I get the feeling that this was a pretty smart way of taking advantage of regs not applying temporarily?"

Harm and the Admiral looked at each other and knew what was coming.

"Let's see. Turner is out of the question, Roberts is also out of the question, that leaves... She's just the right one for him: strong, stubborn, very intelligent, ambitious and with an attitude. Rabb, you're one smart, lucky bastard!"

"Thank you, sir!" piped up Harm, making Johnson aware that he was listening in.

"Congratulations, Rabb, on the marriage and the baby!"

"Thank you, sir!"

"I'll be sending the LT back ASAP, I know you must be missing her by now. I know I miss my family..."

"That'd be great, Captain. You'll get her replacement as soon as they can get there. Chegwidden out."

Chegwidden terminated the connection and was quiet for a while. Harm just waited.
