Disclaimer: Harm, Mac, the admiral and Harriet don't belong to me. They belong to Don P. Bellisario and CBS. Don't sue me, this is just for fun. I promise to take really good care of them and give them right back as soon as I'm done.

Author's note: This story can stand on it's own, but it is also a continuation of "At the end of the day" and "The perfect wedding".
I keep staring at him. He is so focused on his work. The look on his face is so cute that I can't help but smile. I've been sitting here for the last 45 minutes, pretending to work, but every time I try to read the file in front of me my eyes find their way to him.
I've never been this anxious in my life. My appointment is in an hour, and I know that I won't get any work done until then. And if it turns out the way I want it, I won't get any work done after that either.
My mind keeps showing me pictures of how it's going to be, and I start to daydream again. I see that little girl again, the one that looks like me but has her father's famous smile. She is running in the park, laughing, while her father chases her. And when he finally catches her, she screams out of joy as he starts to swirl her around.
"Excuse me ma'am."
There's a voice coming from the door to my office, and that brings me back to reality. I turn my gaze in that direction and see Harriet standing there, smiling. I smile back. She continues to talk once she sees that I am finally with her.
"You asked me to remind you at 0900."
"Thank you Harriet." I answer the younger officer, as I start to gather the files on my desk before I leave. I get up to get my cover, and when I turn around I see that she is still standing at my door.
When she sees the questioning look in my eyes, she asks, "Is everything ok ma'am? You look a little distracted."
"Everything is fine, Harriet." I answer as I go past her through the door. "I'll be back by noon." I call behind my back. I make my way to his office to tell him that I'm leaving.
I know him. He would be worried sick if I just got up and left without telling him. He was always like this, but it's gotten even worse since we got married. I just need to think about something to tell him, other than the truth.
"Hey fly-boy." I lean on his doorframe and smile at him.
He looks up from the file he's been reading and smiles back at me. Than he notices the cover I am holding in my hands.
"Going somewhere marine?" He asks me, his eyes pointing to the cover.
My mind races to find an answer to that question that won't worry him. "I forgot one of the files that I need for this afternoon at home." I finally answer him as I put my cover on. "I won't be long."
"Ok, just be careful." He says as he nods his head. "Are we still on for lunch?" He gets up from behind his desk and starts to follow through the bullpen.
"Of course." I answer him and give him a light kiss on the lips without anyone noticing, just before I get inside the elevator. He smiles at me as the doors close, and turns back to his office.
I couldn't help but kiss him. I know that we are not supposed to do that here, but I'm not really myself today. I'm sure that I have the biggest smile on my face as I step outside of the building and walk to my car.
*****
I didn't think that I could be happier than I was in the last couple of months since we got married. I was wrong. Now it doesn't only feel happy and right, it also feels perfect. We're going to have a baby.
I get back to the office a couple of minutes before noon, and I know that I can't wait until lunch to tell him. We've talked about it so many times since we got engaged, it even came up when we were just friends, so I can't keep it to myself.
I walk from the elevator straight to his office. His door is closed, but I can see that he is alone so I just walk in without even knocking.
He saw me coming even before I opened the door, and he greets me with a smile.
"Hey sailor." I say as I take my cover of, and without even thinking I brush my hand over my stomach. He didn't notice it.
"Hey." He says back. "Did you get what you needed?"
`Oh, yeah.' I think to myself, but instead I say, "Yeah. What are you doing on September 22^nd?" I cross his office and go to sit at the edge of his desk.
He has this cute puzzled look on his face as he reaches to his calendar. "I don't know." Then he looks up at me. "Why?"
"Well." I start slowly, as if I'm talking to a child. "You better mark that date, because that's going to be the birth date of you son."
The puzzled look on his face hasn't change yet. He still doesn't understand what I'm talking about. So I add, "Or your daughter." I pause for a second. "Daddy."
I can see the exact moment that it sinks in. It's not very hard to recognize since it is accompanied with a cry of joy, as he pulls me down to his lap and gives me one of his kisses that defiantly doesn't belong to the office.
We are so wrapped up in kissing and laughing that we don't notice that the whole staff in the bullpen has stopped working and is now standing there looking at us. We don't notice that even the admiral has come out of his office to see what all the fuss is about and is now standing at the door. We're finally brought back to reality when we hear him clear his throat.
We turn to look in the direction of the noise, and quickly stand up. We try to remain serious, but neither one of us can stop smiling.
"Commander, Colonel, is there something you want to share with us?" The admiral asks. I notice that he is looking at us with a weird look that I can't really understand. I don't blame him. He's not used to this kind of a behavior from us. Than he continues, "Since everyone here apparently noticed that something is going on, I know that there won't be any work done until you do."
I glance up at Harm and give him a slight nod with my head to let him know that it is ok. His smile grows even wider when he finally answers the admiral.
"Well sir, it seems that the Colonel will need some time off in a few months." You can defiantly hear the laughter in his voice.
"And why is that Commander?" Comes the response from the admiral.
Harm reaches and takes my hand in his before answering. "Sir, you don't expect her to give birth and than come straight to work, do you?"
This time the screams come from the direction of the bullpen as everybody start to talk and congratulate us together. It seems like the whole staff is now in Harm's office. Even the admiral forgets to command for a few minutes as he comes and gives me a hug, after shaking Harm's hand.
Than he pulls himself together, as he orders everyone to go back to work. But I can still see the smile on his face as he walks to his office.
Everyone goes back to work, and Harm turns me around and hugs me closer to him one last time.
"Ready to go to lunch, mom?" He asks with a smile.
"Actually, yeah. I'm starving!" I answer him and move to put on my cover.
"When are you not?" He starts to tease me as we go to the elevators.
"Hey! I'm eating for two now!"
