I am also going to dedicate this chapter to my mom. She was diagnosed with breast cancer exactly one year ago. She lost her battle on March 13th, 2009. 'Suzy Snowflake' was one of her most favorite Christmas videos when she was younger. You can view it on youtube.

Holiday In Harmony

~9~

2245 Zulu

Rabb Residence

Falls Church, Virginia

After her adventure on the Seahawk Harmony returned back to DC and right back to work, getting all the details of the case together before the Article 32's, but for now she was babysitting Mackenzie while her mom and dad attended a Holiday Party. "Stop scratching your chickenpox, they will scar."

"But Harmy…" the young girl whined. "They're itchy, I am itchy itch." She sighed resting her head against Harmony cuddling a bit.

"I know pumpkin, but you can't scratch them or they will scar. Come on, you want to watch some Christmas cartoons, we can watch them on the computer." She picked her sister up carrying her over to the computer.

"Doesn't Mikey want to see them?" She asked holding on to her sister.

"We can show him when he gets back with the pizza ok? Most off all he's bringing you some ice cream, chocolate chip." Harmony kissed the top of her sisters head. "I love you pumpkin."

"I love you too Harmy." Mackenzie replied as Harmony placed her onto her lap. Opening up her web browser Harmony brought up the youtube page. "You want to watch one of my favorites. It's a bit old, older than daddy."

"That's old!" The young girl smiled. "I want to see, please Harmy."

Adjusting her sister Harmony searched for the video and brought it up. As it started to play Harmony sang it to her sister. "Here comes Suzy Snowflake Dressed in a snow-white gown Tap, tap, tappin' at your windowpane To tell you she's in town." Harmony continued to sing as Mackenzie swayed to the music, while Harmony continued to sing. "Here comes Suzy Snowflake Soon you will hear her say Come out ev'ryone and play with me I haven't long to stay."

"I like this song Harmy. I did know things so old could be cool."

"I thought you would." Harmony laughed as she continued singing with the music and swaying with her sister, having no idea that Mikey was now watching them. "If you want to make a snowman I'll help you make it, one, two, three." She tapped the tip of her sister's nose as she sang. "If you want to take a sleigh ride Whee! The ride's on me." The song continued some more. "Here comes Suzy Snowflake Look at her tumblin' down Bringing joy to ev'ry girl and boy Suzy's come to town. If you want to make a snowman
I'll help you make it, one, two, three If you want to take a sleigh ride Whee! The ride's on me. Here comes Suzy Snowflake Look at her tumblin' down Bringing joy to ev'ry girl and boy Suzy's come to town." Sensing someone was standing there Harmony turned and smiled. "Hey!"

"Mikey!" Mackenzie jumped off Harmony's lap and ran to Mikey hugging him. "Did you get me my ice cream?"

"You wanted ice cream?" He teased a huge smile across her face.

"Mikeyyyyyy." She whined.

"Of course I got your ice cream, think I would forget it? I also got you something else." He handed her a box of crayons and a Christmas coloring book. "You like it?" He asked the wide eye girl.

"I do!" She happily replied. "Harmy can I color and will you color with me?"

"After we eat sure." She kissed Mikey's cheek. "You're so amazing you know that. She's lucky to have a great big brother."

"Well her big sister isn't so bad." Mikey winked and returned the kiss.

"I hear she is pretty amazing." Harmony joked. "I am going to go help lil' Mac wash her hands and all, want to see the table for me?"

"I think I can handle that, yeah." Mikey kissed her cheek one last time. "You want soda?"

"Yeah, and pour my sister some milk in her sippy cup. Use her Navy one, she really likes that one. It makes her feel like me and dad."

"Milk in the Navy sippy cup, got it." Mikey smiled. "And soda for my beautiful lady. Do you want that in a sippy cup as well?"

"Shut up Mike!" Harmony eyed.

He laughed a bit. "Love you hun."

"Love you too!" Harmony blew him and kiss then headed towards the bathroom so she could help her sister out.

When Harmony returned the table was set and everything was ready. Harmony set up the booster seat for Mackenzie and then helped her sit down. Then went and sat down in the middle of her little sister and Mikey.

"Harmy look mushies!" The little girl smiled pulling off a mushroom and popping it in her mouth.

"When I was her age and until I was about 11; I hated mushrooms." Mikey commented holding a slice of pizza.

"Little Mac loves everything." Harmony explained watching her sister pick up one of the cut of pieces of pizza and pop them into her mouth. "I am glad she has a good appetite. Don't have to worry about trying to get her something to eat." Harmony took a bite of her own pizza.

Mackenzie took another small bite, when she finished swallowing it she smiled. "Thank you for the pizza Mikey."

He smiled no problem princess, I'm glad you like it." He watched his younger sister eat her pizza and then turned his attention towards his wife. "Harriet feels so bad that Mackenzie got the chickenpox from Jimmy."

"It's not her fault, we didn't know Jimmy was going to get them either. He was pox free when they had their little play date, he didn't get them until a few days later." Harmony replied. "I made an appointment with my doctor at Bethesda for 9 a.m. tomorrow so I can get the vaccine, since I have been exposed to both Jimmy and Mackenzie. I've been trying to get in for a few days now, but thanks to the Swine Flu it's been real hard. This was as early as he could get me in. I asked him if I should be worried and he said since I was already exposed that it didn't matter if I was around Jimmy and Mackenzie and just to come in and get the vaccine. All we can do is keep our fingers crossed."

"Do you want me to take you? I can call Admiral Walters and tell him I will be late." Mikey spoke taking a sip of his soda.

"No it's just a vaccine, it will take a few minutes and then I am off to JAG."

"Is your dad still upset about what happened on the Seahawk?"

"A little, he's less angry after the CAG called him and told him he asked me to fly and that I didn't just volunteer myself." Harmony explained. "I also showed him the video of me landing that someone had uploaded to youtube."

"I thought your dad was ok with you keeping up your flight status?"

Harmony nodded, "and he is. However, he thought it was quote and quote stupid to take such a risk like that, because it almost killed me once. Thank God my mom was on my side as well and told my dad if I said no I would be disobeying a direct order. But it was the CAG and video that helped. As soon as he saw the video he was smiling. Saying even without engines I get my plane on the ship with no problem. Then he hit me on the head with a dishrag and called me a jerk. My mom was all 'ignore your father Harmony, he's just jealous'." Harmony laughed.

"Sounds like your dad. Can I see the video?" He questioned.

"Sure," Harmony shrugged. "If you want."

"I really want too, people were talking about it at the Pentagon. A Commander called it a miracle landing." Mikey told her.

"It was anything but a miracle. It was me and my bad ass flying skills." Harmony teased.

"Harmy…" Mackenzie's voice broke the conversation. "I want more mushie pizza."

"Ok sweetie." Taking Mackenzie's plate, Harmony grabbed a slice of pizza and cut it up so her sister could eat it. "There you kiddo."

"Thank you Harmy." The little girl smiled and took a piece off of her plate.

Watching her sister Harmony couldn't help but to smile. The little girl was so happy and so full of life. "So did you write a letter to Santa yet?" Harmony asked the little girl.

"No," she shook her head. "I can't write yet Harmy."

"You want to do that instead of coloring? You can tell me what you want and I will write it for you. I will even take it to the post office for you."

Mackenzie's eyes grew wide. "For real."

Smiling Harmony nodded her head. "I cross my heart."

"I want to send Santa a letter instead of color." She was bouncing in her seat. "I do! I Do! I Do!"

"Ok then we will send Santa a letter. You know what you want to ask him for?" Harmony smiled at her sister.

"Uh huh, I want some dollies, a teddy bear, clothes for my dollies, a doll house, a play kitchen so I can cook with mommy and puppy!"

"A puppy huh? A puppy is a lot of work sweetie. You have to take him out, play with him, clean up after him. It's not easy."

"Mommy and daddy can help. But I really want a puppy and I hope Santa can bring me one."

"Well I am sure Santa will try his best, but if he can't just be happy with what he did get you ok?" She rustled her sisters hair.

"I will Harmy." She smiled at her sister.

After they finished dinner Mikey agreed to do the dishes while Harmony and Mackenzie wrote her letter to Santa."

"Harmy, I forgot to add something to the list." The girl cried out. "I have to add it to the list."

"Ok, ok relax I will add it to the list." She laughed a bit. "Ok my favorite sister what do you want me to add to the list."

"A pony!" She said bouncing in her lap.

"You want a pony as well as a puppy?" harmony asked writing 'a pony' on the list.

"No silly, but you want one and I thought if Santa brought me one I could give it to you for Christmas."

Harmony felt a few tears well up in her eyes and kissed the girls cheek. "You really are the best little sister in the world. I love you."

Mackenzie smiled and hugged her sister. "You are the bestest big sister ever. I love you too." She continued hugging her sister.

"Ok well it's time for you to get some sleep. Go up stairs and pick out a book, and I will be up in a few to help put your jammies on and read to you."

"Otay Harmy." Jumping off her lap the little girl hurried up the stairs to her room.

Harmony sealed the letter in an envelope and headed into the kitchen. "Mackenzie finished her letter to Santa. I am gunna go help her get ready for bed and read her a story ok?"

Mikey nodded. "Sounds good." He finished drying one of the dishes and leaned in kissing her. "I'll join you when I finish down here."

"Ok," Harmony spoke returning the kiss. "I love you hun."

"Love you too babe." Harmony returned the kiss before heading up stairs. "So did you get your jammies and find a book?"

Mackenzie handed her the book and pointed to her footie pajamas on the bed.

"Goodnight Moon?" Harmony looked at the book, the same book her father had always read to her.

"Daddy said he used to read it to you all the time and that it was your favorite book. It's my favorite book too. I want to be just like you when I am old."

"I loved this book so much. Daddy would read it to me all the time, even though he knew the book word for word, I still made him read it to me. When he would have to leave for work, he would call me, even from the ship, and read it too me." She traced her fingers along the cover of the book and down the binding. Harmony started to laugh. "Old? Old huh?" Picking up Mackenzie Harmony started to tickle her sister. "Are you calling me old?"

Mackenzie burst into a fit of giggles as Harmony tickled her. "Are you going to read to me?" The laughing child asked.

"Let's get your jammies on and I will tuck you in and then I can start reading. Ok?" Harmony grabbed the pink footed pajamas off the bed and helped Mackenzie into them, and then into bed tucking her in. Harmony plopped herself next to Mackenzie and opened the book as she started to read.

As she was reading the door opened and Mikey stepped. "Oh Goodnight Moon." He smiled and sat on the other side of the bed while Harmony read.

"It's my favoritest story." Mackenzie smiled and looked at Mikey. "Now shhhh," she put her finger over her lips. "I am trying to listen."

Grinning Mikey held his hands up in defense. "Sorry."

Mackenzie was out cold by the time Harmony got to the end of the book. Closing the book and putting it up, kissing Mackenzie's forehead. "Goodnight kiddo." Exiting the room Harmony turned the light off and closed the door.

"You are so, so amazing with her." He knew that when they did have kids Harmony was going to be an amazing mother.

"She asked Santa for a pony, so that she could give it to me." Harmony smiled as she and Mikey descended the steps. "She's such an amazing little girl, she really is. She said to me that she wants to be just like me."

"Well why wouldn't she want too? You're her big sister and she loves you." Mikey put his arm around Harmony after they sat down on the couch. "She really looks up to you."

Harmony laid her head on his shoulder. "It makes me wonder what if? What if I would have had our baby? It would be his first Christmas." A few tears rolled down her cheeks. "You know I think about him every night? What he would be like, what he would look like. What I would buy him for Christmas. How you would have been an amazing father."

Mikey held his wife close, kissing her temple. "I think about him too, and how he would have been so lucky because his mother is the most amazing person in the world. There wouldn't be a shadow of a doubt that she loved him. Or that I loved him."

Harmony wiped away tears. "It still hurts you know? Not having him, not being able to watch him grow. Knowing he is gone from our world. It still hurts."

"I know." Mikey stroked Harmony's hair, kissing the top of her head. "My heart still feels empty. I – I should have been paying attention, I should have been a better driver."

Harmony sat up. "No! It was not your fault Mike, it was anything but your fault. He was a worthless drunk who got behind the wheel. He hit us, it was his fault. No did nothing wrong." The tears rolled down her cheeks. "Don't blame yourself Mike, please do not blame yourself. It's bad enough I also almost lost you too, please don't say it was your fault."

"It's going to take a lot more than a car accident to take me away from you. I love you way to much to just leave. I want you all to myself. The only man I will share you with is your dad. But there is no way in hell I am going to allow another man to steal you from me. You're mine. You're the girl of my dreams and I meant what I said that I wanted to grow old with you and spend the rest of my life with you." He held his wife close. "I love you Harmony Rabb-Roberts. Always and forever, nothing or anyone will ever change that."

About two hours later Mac and Harm returned. Mikey had sports center on while Harmony was sleeping her head on his shoulder. "Hey," Mikey smiled. "How was the party."

"The only good part, was a Senator for Arkansas who fell down drunk, he literally fell down, broke his arm." Mac laughed. "Other than that it was boring. How was Mackenzie? She wasn't a problem was she?"

"She was just fine, we got pizza with pepperoni and mushrooms and she was very happy. She also had some ice cream and wrote a letter to Santa, then Harmony put her to bed and read her a story."

"Let me guess?' Harm took Mac's coat and hung it up. "Goodnight Moon?" he smiled. "I told you she's a mini Harmony."

Mac smiled. "Which isn't a bad thing." She winked at Harm and turned towards Mikey. "Thank you for watching her."

"It's no problem, I really don't mind." Mikey replied looking down at his wife as her eyes opened. "Hey sleepy head."

Rubbing the sleep out of her eyes Harmony sat up stretching. "Oh hey." She smiled and her mother and father. "How was the party?"

"Typical boring, stuck up, hidden political agenda party. A swear they forgot what the real meaning of Christmas is about." Mac sighed and sat on the arm of the couch. "I think I will stay home next year."

"Oh great and make me have to deal with those…what did you call them again?" Harm asked.

"Yuppie scum." Mac smiled proudly.

"That's it. Make me deal with those yuppie scum." He stood next to Mac, his arm around her holding her close.

"You could always bring Harmony." Mac looked up at him. "I am sure you can handle it sailor."

"Oh no way! No way am I going to go to one of those events. I don't even vote for that party and for that matter neither do you dad. At least you haven't in the past elections, so why bother?"

"Because my presence was requested." He shrugged.

"I hope my presence is never requested for such a pointless event because I am going to have a hard time sucking it up to go." Harmony let her eyes wander to the window. "Oh it's snowing…again, lovely."

"Yeah we heard on the radio we might get six inches by the morning and another eight inches before tomorrow night. Then a nasty cold snap, the highs might only reach five degrees."

"I hate winter." Harmony mused. "We better get going then." Harmony stood up and kissed her dad's cheek. "Love you."

"Listen," Harm quipped. "I uhm let me pick you up tomorrow. I don't want you driving the Vette, the roads will be horrible."

"I have a doctors appointment, I am getting my chickenpox vaccine tomorrow."

"No problem, I'll take you to Bethesda and back. Don't worry about it. I will call Admiral Locklyn myself and let him know."

"Thanks dad."

"You didn't drive the Vette here did you?" Mac questioned.

"No, he brought the Honda. The Pilot has all those fancy bells and whistles so it better be able to handle a few inches of snow." Harmony answered Mac.

"Good, that's good." Mac hugged Harmony and kissed her cheek. "Please call when you get home so we know you made it home."

"How about I send a text message." Harmony spoke after breaking the hug. "Then I won't have to wake Lil' Mac."

"That would work." Mac replied then hugged Mikey. "Again thank you so much for watching Mackenzie."

"it's no problem, I love Mackenzie and love spending time with her." Harmony smiled. "I'll see you tomorrow dad, and I will send you a text when I get home mom. Love you two."

Bethesda Naval Hospital

Bethesda, Maryland

"Done," Harmony smiled at her dad as she walked into the waiting room.

"Well that was quick," he spoke putting the magazine down.

"It was just a quick shot." They started to walk towards the elevator, both of them saluting a fellow officer. "Though he said since I was already exposed there is still chance I could get them, and if I show any of the signs of symptoms to give him a call, and he will write me up a prescription. But if I have a high fever to go to the ER."

"Yeah chickenpox are bad for adults." Harm pressed the call button for the elevator. "I still can't believe after all these years you have never had them. I was 12 when I had mine."

"Just lucky I guess, maybe unlucky all depends in how one looks at it." The doors opened and once again they saluted a Lieutenant in unison, as he stepped off and they stepped on. "I have one final hopefully I can avoid the chickenpox until then."

"One final? But you have two classes?" Harm questioned as the doors closed infront of them and began its descent.

"Professor Davidson has a policy, keep an A average and get an A on all his exams and you get an automatic A on the final and you don't have to take it." She smiled.

"My guess is you have an A and got an A on his exams?" Harm smiled a bit looking down at his daughter.

"Yes sir, your guess would be correct." Harmony replied watching the numbers count down from seven to the ground floor.

"I am so proud of you Harmony, I really am. You're doing so great, and I have no doubt you will pass the bar exam." He smiled at his daughter giving her a small hug.

"And I am planning on beating your score on the Bar exam." Harmony looked up at him smiling confidently.

"Oh is that so?" Harm smirked at her. "You know a 92.6% will be hard to beat." But Harm knew if anyone could do it, she could. Harmony had always been the kind of girl who actually put in extra studying time, rather than just what was needed.

"I know, but I plan on trying to score somewhere in the 95% percentile."

"Good for you," he smiled kissing the top of her head. "If you want any help studying for the exam don't be scared to ask me, or anyone else at JAG we will be more than willing to help."

"Thank you." Harmony replied as she heard the chime indicating they had reached their destination. The doors opened and she stepped out behind her father. It was still snowing, and was really coming down now. "Poor Mackenzie all this snow and she can't go sledding, I feel so bad for her. I really hope there is still enough snow once she is better so I can take her to Willow Meadows Hill to go sledding."

"I am sure there will be enough snow and I am sure once Mackenzie chickenpox free she won't have any problems on taking you up on the offer to go sledding. I also think you want to go and you're just using Mackenzie as an excuse."

Harmony laughed. "Shhh people will hear you." Harmony walked with her dad to the car. "You know she asked Santa for a pony so she could give it to me." Harmony placed her cover on her head, as did her father.

"I saw the letter, she also asked for a puppy." Harm said walking along side his sister down the snow covered sidewalk towards the parking lot.

"I know, you going to get her one?" Harmony asked.

"Mac and I have talked about, a dog would be great, but I don't know." He sighed. "Mac and I were planning on discussing it tonight. It would put me at ease when I went out of town. Not that Mac can't take care of herself, but you know. Also Mac really loved having Jingo around, said he was great company."

"What kind of dog?" Harmony questioned him.

"A think a yellow lab, they're great with kids, and great dogs all around." They finally reached the Lexus, a new model from the one he previously had. He unlocked the doors using the remote, removed his cover and slid into the driver's side. While Harmony slid into the passenger's side.

Harmony smiled. "You know you will make Mackenzie's Christmas if you get her a puppy." She pulled her safety belt across her body and fastened it securely.

A huge smiled crossed his face. "You if someone would have told me I was going to be this happy a few years ago, I wouldn't have believed them. Especially if they said my wife would not only be beautiful and amazing, but that she would be Mac."

Harmony smiled as her dad drove out of the parking lot and headed towards JAG headquarters. "When you said you and Mac were getting married, I was so excited. I was so happy that it was going to finally happen and most of all that would mean Mac was going to be my stepmother. Take it from me dad when I say it was about time you got your butt in gear and asked her. I mean everyone knew how you two felt about each other. You and Mac just needed to realize how you each felt."

"To tell you the truth Harmony, I always knew how I felt about Mac. From that moment in the rose garden when we met right then I knew that she was the one."

"Ok then tell me how the hell it took nine years for you to tell her how you felt." Harmony raised an eyebrow in question.

"It's a long story, too long for the drive back to JAG. But I promise you one day I will tell you." Harm smiled at her.

"Good because I will keep bugging you otherwise." She laughed.
