Holiday In Harmony

~4~

1145 Zulu

JAG Headquarters

Falls Church, Virginia

During the night a blanket of snow fell across the Capitol, making driving conditions hazardous, and everything a mess. It took forever to get into work that morning, Harmony was thankful for the extra time she had allowed herself getting to JAG. Parking her Vette, she grabbed her messenger bag, and a few other things; including her copy of Wuthering Heights. It had always been her favorite book. She read it so many times that Harmony practically had it memorized. She had bought this copy at a small bookstore the first time she was in London with her dad. Years of reading and all the traveling she had done with the book left it battered and beaten. It no longer had a real cover, and the pages were falling out left and right. It definitely had seen better days. Harmony had the money to buy a new copy, but they would be quote and quote basterized American version. This copy meant something to her.

As she reached for the book a good section of it fell out and into a dirty puddle of slushy snow. There would be no saving it. Reaching into the puddle Harmony pulled out the soaked pages and stared at them as the muddle water dripped off. "Guess it will be a while until Heathcliff is running through the moors again." Harmony said to herself.

Once in the JAG bullpen Harmony stared at the wet pages of the book before tossing it in the trash.

"Morning Lieutenant." Bud spoke smiling as always.

"It was a good morning until Catherine and Heathcliff drowned in a puddle. My copy of Wuthering Heights is officially dead." Harmony sighed. "I've had that copy since my first trip to my dads. There was this little bookstore near his flat, and the book didn't have any of that stupid American translation. It was a true English copy. Now it's gone. There is no way I can find a copy like that here."

Bud frowned. "I'm sorry Harmony, I know how much you loved that story." Though now he had an idea for Harmony's Christmas gift, he had to call Harriet first.

"Yeah, guess I will have to head to Borders and pick up a copy. All thought it will be basterized." She mused. "Anyways Commander, I have your pretrial motions done, and I even use colorful tabs for each witness with matching folders for each witness."

His life was so much easier when she sat co-council. She was organized like Commander Coleman, only Harmony's organization level was normal where Coleman's was borderline OCD. Soon though, it would only be a matter of time until she went from sitting next to him, to opposing him in a courtroom. "Thank you so much Harmony." He smiled as she handed him the files.

"Oh and your witness Mrs. Beckett will be here at 1:30 to give her statement. I called her last night to double check everything."

"Thank you." He had no idea what he was going to do without her.

"Is there anything else you need sir?" Harmony asked as she stood tall squaring herself away.

"For now that would be all Harmony; thank you." Bud replied sitting down at his desk.

"Well then I am going to get myself some coffee, would you like any sir?" Harmony asked standing in the doorway.

"I would love a cup of coffee please."

She nodded a smiled. "One cup of coffee coming right up."

Once Bud knew Harmony was gone he picked up his phone and dialed the home number. "Harriet…" she spoke up when he realized that someone picked up the phone.

"Bud! Bud, is everything ok?" Her voice filled with worry.

"Everything is fine. Remember last night how you were saying you wanted to find something for Harmony's stocking? Well I know what we can get, another copy of Wuthering Heights. Hers fell in a snow puddle this morning and she had to throw it away."

"Awww, Harmony loved that book so much. Did you know she got it in London when visiting the Captain?" Harriet asked.

"She told me that. It got me thinking, I'll ask Captain Rabb if he remembers the name of the bookstore and then I will call them and see if they can ship a copy."

"Bud, Harmony will love it. That's a great idea."

Bud smiled, he was proud of himself for the gift idea. "I will call you at lunch and let you know what is going on with it. I love you honey and I will see you when I get home."

"Ok, and I love you too Bud." Harriet replied before ending the conversation.

Bud hung up the phone just as Harmony returned to his office.

"They had muffins in the kitchen sir, so I brought you a chocolate chip one." She placed the muffin and coffee on his desk.

"See this is why when you are finally a lawyer you'll be a great one. You're always thinking ahead. I like that." He removed the wrapper from the muffin and took a small bite. "So Mikey said you and he got your tree this weekend." He spoke after he had finished chewing.

"Yes sir, we did." She pulled out her iPhone and showed Bud the picture.

"Harmony! Wow that's a beautiful tree." Bud exclaimed.

Looking at the photo once more, she smiled. "Yeah, I really like it." She slipped her phone back into her pocket. "I am excited about Christmas this year. I mean I am every year, but this year is me and Mike's first Christmas as a married couple, and I cannot wait." It should have been their first Christmas with their son, but that was a whole other can of worms Harmony didn't want to open.

Bud felt a smile tug at the corners of his mouth. "Mikey's been so happy since you came into his life. He loves you so much."

"I love him too, sir. I love him so much. I am so lucky I have such an amazing husband. I missing being on a ship some times, but then I stop and think. If I hadn't been shot down, I wouldn't be married. Who knew such an amazing thing could come out of such a senseless tragedy?" Hearing a knock at the door Harmony turned her head. "Oh my God!"

"Look at you Lieutenant Rabb or should I say Mrs. Roberts?" She spoke. "Doing your thing at JAG!"

Harmony looked at Bud. "Sir do I have permission to be a girl for a moment?"

"Uh uhm yeah I guess, sure." He replied not sure what Harmony meant by that.

Harmony stood up. "Coatessss!" She said in a girly voice hurrying over to the woman and hugging her. "Chief Petty Officer Coates!" Harmony replied breaking the hugging and pointing to the rank on Jennifer's uniform. "EEEEEEE!" Harmony squealed hugging her again. "I missed you!"

Bud laughed at Harmony's reaction and stood to his feet. "Congratulation Jen."

"Thank you sir!" Jennifer replied.

Harmony took Jennifer's left hand and looked at the ring on her finger. She knew what it looked like since she had helped Tiner pick it out, but it was even more beautiful on her finger. "Soon you will be Mrs. Jason Tiner."

"In six months. Listen you think you can get a few hours free this afternoon. I am going for a dress fitting, finally and well…" the girl smiled. "I'd like you to be my Matron of honor, please?"

Harmony turned towards Bud. "Sir."

Bud nodded. "I think taking a few hours for lunch will be ok; especially for this. I don't have a problem with it, but make sure you clear it with Admiral Locklyn first."

Harmony squeezed her again bouncing up and down like a schoolgirl.

"So is that a yes?" Jennifer asked Harmony.

"Definitely a yes!" She sighed. "I still wish you could have made it in for my wedding, it would have been so awesome having you in my bridal party."

"I felt so bad I couldn't, I really wanted too, and I was so touched when you asked me. Let me make it up to you by buying you lunch today; please?" Coates asked. "You can tell me all about the wedding and what it feels like to be a bride since I will be one in six months."

"Sounds like a plan." Harmony replied.

"Well Lieutenant I will let you and the Commander get back to work. I'll meet you here at noon ok?" Jennifer smiled and saluted them both before exiting the office.

Sitting down Bud started to laugh.

"What?" Harmony asked.

"Your idea of being a girl and asking permission to do…whatever you called that. Can't honestly say I have seen that before." Bud replied.

"Sorry sir, I uhm. Well I kind of got carried away. I haven't seen her in almost a year, so I kind. I lost my mind a bit. My relationship with Chief Petty Officer Coates is kind of like a non-related sister one. So we tend to have some girl moments that are rather strange."

"No need to apologize, I think it's good you two have a bond especially for Coates. She has come along way, and it's good to know that she has a friend like you in her life."

Hungry Vinnie's Pizza

Washington D.C

"So tell me, what is married life like?" Jennifer asked taking a bite of pizza.

"It's amazing Jen, I love Mike so much. I got so lucky with him. He's so good to me." Harmony was beaming. "You know it almost didn't happen? Mike and I…well we kind of hit a rough spot."

"I heard, Jason told me. I am glad you are ok, and I am really sorry about your baby." Jennifer looked down a moment. "I uh…the only person who knows this is Jason, but when I was 15; I had a miscarriage. I've been there and I know it's hard, so if you ever want to talk just call me."

Harmony was shocked. She had no clue. "I uhm, I'm sorry." She sadly replied.

"It was a long time ago, but I figured since I know what that feeling is like; I would offer support. Just please don't tell anyone."

"My lips are sealed, and thanks Jen. You're an amazing friend." Harmony gave Jen a high five. "Are you and Jason planning on having kids?"

"We have talked about it, but we both agree to wait until my sea time is over and I can get stationed back at DC. I would love to come back to JAG, but I would most likely end up at the Pentagon, or an office in the Naval Yard. What about you and Mike, are you two going to try again?" Jennifer took another bite of her pizza.

"Definitely, but after the bar exam, and after I have been working as a lawyer for sometime. But we would love to have a kid or two." Harmony sipped on her soft drink. "I want a little girl so bad."

"Me too." Jen smiled. "You have names picked out?"

"I actually had names picked out for my kids since I was 12. Though I didn't go with them the first time I was pregnant. Plans kind of changed. However, if I have a girl her name will be Catherine and the boy will be Austin."

"Catherine and Austin are…two totally different wave lengths."

"I can explain, Catherine is from Wuthering Heights, but I could not bare naming my child Heathcliff. It just wouldn't be fair to him. I knew a kid in school whose name was Austin and I always liked the name." Harmony explained to Jen picking up a slice of pizza, her favorite; mushroom. How about you? What names do you have picked out?"

"That explains it now. LeAnne if it's a girl. My grandmother's name was LeAnne and I am pretty sure if it's a boy we will have Jason Jr." She paused. "What name did you have picked out for your baby before he died? If you don't want to answer I would totally understand."

"No, no it's ok. Michael Harmon Roberts. If it was a girl we were going to name her Eden Rachel Roberts. Eden was his mothers' name and Rachel was my mothers' name. By the way, the names you have picked out are amazing."

Jen blushed. "Well Jason Jr. Really isn't all that originally, but we both like it. My grandmother was the only one in my family whoever really loved me. I was so miserable after she died."

"If my grandmother died, I would be pretty miserable too. She's the only one I have since Mac doesn't really talk to her mom." Harmony mused picking a mushroom off of her pizza.

"Speaking of Mac how are she and your dad doing? I saw the Captain earlier but he was real busy so we didn't get a chance to talk."

"They are doing great. Still head over heels for each other, and Mackenzie just keeps growing like a weed. She's such a great kid." Harmony smiled. Reaching into her pocket she pulled out her iPhone and showed Jennifer a bunch of photos.

"She has Mac's skin tone and those Rabb eyes. She's so beautiful." Jennifer complimented. "Your dad will have his hands full when she gets older. I still remember how he was with you. 'No dating until your married Harmony!'" She laughed mocking him. "I think he was serious too."

"Knowing my dad he was. But I would be more scared of my Uncle AJ. Remember when in high school I went to the senior prom. I went with that kid from Italy. Part of the student exchange program. We were not even close to boy friend and girl friend. I just figured we would both have fun. Then Uncle AJ grilled him in his office. Poor kid. I felt so bad. He said it was no big deal and back in his country fathers were like that all the time. But I was so embarrassed."

"I still have that picture of you and him at JAG. Yeah the Admiral was pretty harsh on him, but the Admiral always looked out for you. You're like his second daughter, so I understand where he was coming from. By the way do you remember his name?"

"Giovanni Marcello" Harmony smiled. "He was definitely easy on the eyes too. We still exchange e-mails every now and then. He has two beautiful daughters, and I have talked to his wife on Facebook a few times and she is really sweet." Harmony told her. "He even visited me when after I was shot down, stayed for a few hours. We talked, he brought me a huge box of chocolates; it was real nice to see him. I keep telling him he should come back to the States for a visit. He promised me he would when his daughters are a little bit older. The long plane ride would be a bit much for a one-year-old and a four-year-old. Heck if I am not flying the plane myself it's a bit much for me."

"Giovanni was a handsome boy, if I was younger or he was older…" Jen smirked. "Well I hope he can make it out, and I am glad you two still talk."

"He told me I was the only one from America he still talks too, he lost touch with his host family some years ago."

Jen looked at her watch. "Oh my God we better go, we have to be at the bridal shop in 15 minutes. We totally lost track of time."

Harmony took one last sip of her soda and followed Jen out of restaurant.
