AN: Thanks for the reviews. I know everyone out there is dying to know who the secret vistor is so here we go.


They were so lost in each other that they didn't see Beetem enter the room.

"Now I know why AJ asked me to take this case. You are the baby's father." It was a statement, not a question.

"Yes."

"And you don't want anyone to know because you are in the same chain of command."

"Yes."

"You are not making this easy for me."

"I know."

"What am I going to do with you two?"

"I use to ask myself the same question."

"AJ!"

"I thought I would come see how things were going."

"As well as can be expected. You could have warned me you know."

"I didn't know I they wanted to tell you."

"Hey we are in the room."

"I know. Harm and Mac, how are you doing?"

"Fine, thank you."

"So what's the verdict, Nancy?"

"I will do my best to keep the baby out of this. I don't want to do too much. It would raise suspicion. Is that ok with, sir, ma'am?"

"We will go along with whatever you recommend."

"Good. Anymore skeletons I need to know about?"

"Not to my knowledge."

"Good. Now if you will excuse me, I have a case to prep."

Beetem left the three in the room. Silence loomed until AJ spoke.

"Well are congratulations in order? I don't see and ring, Commander."

"She said yes, AJ."

"I just didn't want to raise suspicion, so I have the ring around my neck."

"Well congratulations you two. I take it you're not telling Nancy."

"No. We don't want to give her a hear attack."

"Fine by me. When is your appointment Mac?"

"In 45 minutes."

"Well, I know a great café on the way. If you're hungry, we can go there before your appointment."

"Sounds good to me, Mac."

"Yeah, I'm starved."

Harm, Mac and AJ enjoyed a wonderful lunch, and Harm and Mac had enough time to make it to the doctor's. It was a quiet little office. The doctor probably didn't keep many patients which suited Harm and Mac just fine. Once the paperwork was complete, Mac and Harm were escorted to an exam room to wait for the doctor. They didn't have to wait long.

"Good afternoon, I'm Dr. Carrington."

"Hi. I'm Sarah Mackenzie and this is Harmon Rabb."

"Sarah, Harm. I see that you are pregnant. Do you know how far along you are?"

"Six weeks and 2 days."

"Careful, Doctor. She can probably give you to the second."

"Don't mind him. He's just jealous."

"Well, let's see what we are dealing with. If you just lay back, I'm going to examine you and then a tech will come in and we'll take a look at your baby."

The exam went pretty quick even though Harm looked a little uncomfortable watching the doctor insert things into Mac. He agreed that he was very lucky to be born a man. He didn't think he would be able to deal with all of this. He was brought back to reality as the doctor removed her gloves.

"Well everything feels good, Sarah. If you give me a minute, I'll get Jennifer and we'll do that ultrasound." With that, she left to retrieve the tech.

"How are you doing?"

"Good. I can't wait to see the baby."

"Me either."

"Looks like we don't have to wait too long."

"Harm, Sarah, I would like you to meet Jennifer. She will be helping me with the ultrasound. If you give us a minute, we'll be ready to start."

It didn't take them long to set up the equipment. Once they were done, Dr. Carrington walked over to Mac."

"We are going to do an internal ultrasound today, Sarah. These are a little more accurate, and will allow me to determine the baby's age better."

"Whatever you say, doctor."

"Harm, you can sit next to Sarah, so you can see. Here we go."

Within moment, a black and white picture appeared on the monitor. Neither could tell what they were looking at. Both waited for the doctor to explain what they were seeing.

"Ok. Here's the uterus. Good endometrial growth. Let's see what we can find. Oh there you are." Looking to Harm and Mac and pointing to the screen. "You see that little sac right there?"

Together, "yeah."

"Well that is the gestational sac. You see that little form that looks like a little peanut?"

Again together, "yeah."

"That is your baby."

"Really."

"Yes, really. The baby looks real good. I'm going to take some measurements."

"Doctor?"

"Yes, Harm?"

"What is that little blip?"

"Oh. That's the baby's heartbeat."

"Is it ok?"

"Oh yes, it's very strong. Now I'm going to take some pictures for you, and we'll be done."

Harm and Mac couldn't even hear the doctor talk to them. They were mesmerized by the tiny life on the monitor. Their baby. The life created from their love. Neither could stop the tears that flowed. Harm grabbed Mac's hand and squeezed it.

"There's our baby, Sarah."

"Oh, Harm. It's really happening."

"Yes it is. I love you."

"I love you."

"Well folks, I'm sure you would like to get comfortable, Sarah. I'm finished. Here are you pictures, and I would like to see you in a couple of weeks. Do you have any questions?"

"Well I don't know if we will be here."

"That's right. You both are military. Well schedule the appointment anyway. If you go back home, I can send the blood work and notes to your OB there."

"Thank you."

"Anytime."

Dr. Carrington turned to leave.

"Doctor?"

"Yes?"

"I was wondering if you could tell me my due date. I never found that out."

"Sure. Your last period was October 31, so you would be due sometime around August 7. Any other questions?"

"What about work?"

"I see you have had some trouble in the last couple of weeks, but everything looks fine right now. I don't see why you can't work, just watch your stress level and take care of yourself."

"What about other activities?"

Mac could see the blush creeping up Harm's face. 'He's so cute when he's embarrassed.'

"I see no reason why you can't have sex, Harm. You won't hurt the baby. He or she is safe and sound. As for any other activities, you can continue them. Just don't overdue it."

"Thanks again."

"No problem. I'll have some prenatal vitamins waiting for you at the front desk. Congratulations you two and see you in two weeks."

With that, she left the room. Harm and Mac were beside themselves. Everything was so real now. They both gazed at the ultrasound picture.

"Kind of brings it home. Doesn't it?"

"Yeah."

"You ok."

"Better than ok. What do you say I get dressed and we get out of here to celebrate?"

"Sounds good to me."

Mac quickly got dressed and made their way to the appointment desk. She made her appointment and grabbed her prenatal vitamins. As they were walking out, they ran into someone they thought they would never see again.

"Harm! Mac!"

"Renee!"


I know. It's probably been done before, but I never could stand her. So tell me what you think she will do. Now all you have to do is hit the lilac button and review. You know you want to. (evil grin)
