Harm and Mac's Apartment Washington, DC One Week Later..
The doorbell rang, and Harm answered it. He held one baby in his right hand, and somehow managed to open the door with his left. He saw Lauren and Sergei standing on his door step, sighed, and smiled, inviting them in. Lauren had baby Jessica in her shoulder, sleeping peacefully, which was a lot more than Harm could say for Sasha. "Aren't you coming in?" Harm finally asked when his brother and his sister in law didn't walk in.
"We can't." Sergei sighed. "We've come up to get you. Guess who's down stairs?" he asked his brother, a mysterious look on his face.
"Who?" asked Harm, looking slightly annoyed.
"Everyone." Lauren laughed. "They rented a van. A BIG van. They came to our house first, and made us come with them."
"Where are we going?" asked Mac, coming to the door. She rocked a sleeping Samantha in her arms.
"I don't know where we're going." Sergei admitted. "But something is definitely about to happen." He hinted.
"How can you tell?" asked Mac suspiciously.
"Harriet is driving the van, ma'am." Lauren revealed.
"Lauren! Don't call me ma'am. Come on now.. In a few months we'll be officially related..you don't have to be so formal."
"Okay." Lauren sighed with relief.
"Well," sighed Harm, "If we plan to go anywhere, why don't we go ahead and leave now before we get further sidetracked." he suggested, and everyone nodded and followed him out the door.
Memorial Park Washington, DC 23 ½ minutes later.
"Why are we here, sir?" Harm asked the Admiral. "What's going on?"
"Well, Commander, we heard Sergei talking, and he was saying how he would like to take Lauren to see your dad's spot on the wall. Well, we all know how much it means to both of you, so with a lot of help from Harriet, we've arranged to hold a late baby shower here at the park.right next to the wall." The Admiral explained, smiling.
"It wouldn't have been a late baby shower if you and Lt. Singer hadn't gone into labor early, ma'am." Harriet pointed out, laughing.
"It wasn't my fault we went into labor at the same time.." Lauren laughed.
Everyone piled out of the car. Mac was first to notice the various decorations and many tables set up around the small area that Harriet had designated as theirs. She smiled, grabbed Lauren, and pointed to the various different things.
"Sir, why so many tables?" asked Lauren, confused.
"Well, Lt, we have a lot of guests." he grinned, pointing to the various cars that had began to appear out of nowhere.
"Who, sir?"
"Um.the SecNav.and one of his.higher friends." the Admiral pointed to a black limo. The President stepped out.
"Sir!" Harm exclaimed. "Why is the President here? What did we do?"
"Nothing. He's just here for the party." The Admiral laughed.
"Seriously, sir?" Mac asked annoyed, as Samantha and Sasha yanked at her hair.
"Do you remember what you did a few months ago, Commander..that THING that won you the Navy Cross.."
"But, sir..He's already thanked Harm for that." Sergei sighed.
"So?" the Admiral laughed. "Just come on. Let's get on with the party."
"I'm with that, sir." Said the Gunny. "This box weighs a ton.." He groaned.
When Mac and Lauren had opened all their presents and talked to nearly everyone there, they sat down, and the President slowly walked over, smiling.
"Sir." Lauren and Mac snapped to attention.
"Well, I'd say you two are in a bit of a predicament. At ease." The President grinned.
"Yes, sir.." Mac agreed. She hadn't really thought about what would happen when it came time for the wedding.
"Well, I have gone over all your files, and so I have decided to give you a little present for your loyal service to the United States of America, and of course, all that other lovely trouble you went through in Russia."
Mac gasped. She didn't know that he would have known about something like that. It was supposed to have been off the record.
"Yes, sir." Lauren stammered, "but I wasn't in Russia, sir."
"I know that, Lt." he replied knowingly. "But I know someone very close to you who was." He smiled. "So, I have decided that there will be no frat charges for either of you and what has been going on around here. And as for transferring one of you." he waved his hand. "No way. I've seen the work you've done together. We can't mess that up. Your country thanks you." He sighed, turned, and left in the black limo.
Lauren blinked. "Did that just happen?" she asked Mac.
"Apparently it did." Mac gasped, equally surprised.
"So..." grinned the Admiral, putting one hand on each woman's shoulder. "When's this wedding going to be? We going to double up on it, too?" he smiled.
"Yeah." smiled Mac and Sergei. "Why not?"
A/N: Sorry it's so short. Next chapter is the weddings, finally! It will be coming soon! Feedback please!
