Chapter 14 The Reunion

The helo arrived on the aircraft carrier USS Guadal Canal. Ship's medics ran out to assist the wounded.

In sickbay, Trevor went to surgery where his wounds were treated Sherri was also medically checked..

Later, the doctor came in to see Sherri. "Well, major. You will be fine, you are slightly dehydrated, but all in all in pretty good shape."

"All in all." Sherri asked the doc what he meant.

"Major, you are six weeks pregnant." the doc answered her.

"I..I can't be, sir." Sherri was astonished.

"Well, think back, major. It happened sometime."

The doc left Sherri alone, deep in thought. She thought of the time the night before she was deployed that she went to Harm's apartment. It had been a phenomenal evening. That had to be it, she hypothesized.

By that time, Trevor was out of surgery and resting in the recovery room. Sherri was in her burch when there was a knock on the cabin door.

"Come." Sherri said. It was Capt Huddleston, the CO of the Gradal Canal.

Sherri was surprised to see him, but she was glad to see her old friend again.

"Hello, Major. It's been a long time." Capt. Huddleston said.

"David?..err Capt. Huddleston." Sherri was surprised that it was he old friend from ten years ago. "It's been a long time. You look great."

"I look old, now you are the one who looks great." the CO said.

The two old friends talked about old times when the Capt. was a full Navy Lt. and Sherri was a brand new Air Force 2nd Lt. Nothing ever came of their friendship because they were in different services. At the time, Lt. Huddleston introduced Sherri to Trevor, a nice Air Force Lt.

Meanwhile, back in DC, Harm and Mac had just returned to Harm's apartment from little A.J.'s fifth birthday party. In spite of the fact that Harm waited for any word from Webb about Sherri, the naval officer and the marine officer had their own private celebration that was set up five years ago to the day.

Early the next morning, while the sailor and the Marine were still embraced in each others' arms, the phone rang.

"Do you have to answer it, Harm?" Sarah asked with craving eyes.

"Yes, I do." Harm answered. "It might be some information about Sherri."

In spite of what they just had together, Sarah realized that Harm was still thinking about Sherri.

Rabb here.

Webb, where is Sherri.. Major James?"

Rabb, she is doing well on the USS Guadal Canal. They will dock in Norfolk later today, and arrive late this evening at Andrews for medical evaluation. Oh Harm, just for your information, our operative, Lt.Trevor Garrett is also with Major James.

Harm hung up the phone. He was glad that Sherri was ok, but was pondering how this Lt. Trevor Garrett would affect his future with Sherri, if indeed they did have a future together. Harm, looked at the beautiful woman beside him and kissed her passionately. All thoughts of Sherri vanished.

"Who was that on he phone?" Sarah asked.

"Nobody important, Sarah." He kissed her again.

Back on the USS Gradal Canal, Sherri spent some more time with Capt. Huddleston.

Sherri and the Capt. talked for awhile. She was glad to have someone who she could talk to.

Capt. Huddleston knew that something was anxiety-ridden about something.

"Sherri, I know there's something disturbing you. Maybe I can help." he offered.

"Oh David, I got myself into a spot. When I thought that Trevor was gone, I fell in love with a navy officer. An ex aviator turned lawyer, a JAG lawyer. As the story goes, I found out that he loved me but he also loved a marine Col. I got pregnant with him right before I left for Afghanistan. I didn't know I was pregnant until I came on the Gradual Canal. Trevor never touched me. This naval lawyer doesn't know anything yet. I don't know what I should do."

"Sounds like at least the two of you should talk. Find out how he feels about the situation. You might be surprised. I don't want to go, but we are going to be in Norfolk soon and I have to play CO. I'll talk to you before you leave for Andrews."

Capt. Huddleston left the room .
