Harm and Mac's New House

Alexandria, Virginia

ZULU 0830

          The JAG staff sat on the front steps and porch of the new Rabb residence waiting for the moving van's to arrive. The last week had been hectic with Harm, Mac, Trish, and Frank-going furniture shopping and making sure everything would be delivered on Saturday. Three mornings that week had found Mac in the bathroom in front of the toilet with Harm behind her. Harm was getting more and more worried even though Mac kept telling him she was fine it was probably just some bug going around. Neither of them thought about the other possibility.

          Harm and Mac had also hired somebody to take care of painting, wallpapering, the flooring, the carpeting, repainting the deck, and filling the pool and Jacuzzi. When Saturday came everything was ready for the JAG staff to start moving everything in.

Mac was sitting on the steps her legs stretched out in front of her. She had felt great getting up this morning but now she was feeling a little nauseous. Harm sat down next to her on the steps handing her a can of ginger ale from the cooler. "Thanks," she said. "Your welcome," he smiled and then looked up upon seeing the moving vans pull into the driveway.

The movers quickly unloaded the trucks with the help of the JAG staff and put each piece in the room it was supposed to go in. An hour later the house was succumbed to boxes, furniture, bubble wrap, etc.

Everyone was assigned to a room and began setting up the room according to a sketch that Harm and Mac had made. Throughout the morning groups of four to five moved from room to room setting up each according to the sketch. By around 11:30 Mac had been setting up a few lamps when her stomach began to feel weird again. 'Oh no not again,' she thought. Almost five seconds later Mac was up and heading for the bathroom at a very fast pace. Harm hadn't seen Mac heading that way for he was a bit preoccupied with carrying up half of the bed frame for the master bedroom with Sturgis, Bud, and Keeter with the Admiral behind them just in case and Tiner guiding them up the stairs ahead of them.

Mac went straight for the bathroom and shut the door before rushing to the toilet for her stomach's revolt. Harriet however, had seen Mac head straight for the bathroom and had followed to make sure that she was all right. Harriet came to the bathroom and knocked softly on the door. "Mac," she called softly, "Are you alright?" She quietly opened the door and frowned at seeing her close friend and co-worker sweaty and obviously losing whatever she had eaten previously. Harriet grabbed one of the washcloths that had been placed in the cabinet and soaked it with cool water. Harriet then gently wiped her friends face and neck with the cool water. When Mac's stomach had finished revolting Mac sat back against the wall as Harriet went and grabbed a bottle of water for her.

Harriet unscrewed the bottle and handed the cool water bottle to Mac. "Take small sips," Harriet advised and Mac followed her instructions. After a few silent minutes, "Mac are you alright?" Mac nodded, "I'm sure it's just a bug going around." Harriet had an inkling on what Mac might have but she wanted to be sure so as not to give Mac false hope. "How long has this been going on now Mac?" "Off and on for maybe three weeks now." Harriet figured that what she was thinking was correct. "Mac," she began slowly, "Is there a chance that you might be pregnant?" Mac looked up quickly at Harriet with a thunderstruck look on her face. Mac started to object when her brain kicked in and she did the math in her head. "I suppose that there is a chance, yes." Harriet smiled, "It's almost noon, why don't you and I offer to go get lunch and we'll pick up a pregnancy test on our way?" Mac only nodded.

After exiting the bathroom both women went around getting lunch orders from the sandwich shop at the grocery store about 15 minutes away. Mac went upstairs to where the men were setting up the master bedroom. She took down each of their orders gave Harm a quick kiss and then left with Harriet. On the way to the grocery store Harriet and Mac made small talk but carefully avoided the topic of Mac possibly being pregnant. Arriving at the grocery store they put all the orders in at the sandwich shop and then went to pick up other items as drinks and a fruit and veggie platter and chips. They went back to the sandwich shop to pick up all the lunch orders; they checked out and loaded everything into the car.

Harriet then drove to a drugstore a few minutes away and pulled the car to a stop. Together they walked inside and picked up two different pregnancy tests. Arriving back at the house everyone was given what he or she had ordered for lunch. They talked, laughed, and ate although Mac was more quiet then usual. Harm leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Are you alright baby?" Mac nodded, "Yah, I'm fine Harm." She smiled up at him to reassure but he was only half-convinced. He gave her a soft smile and kissed the top of her head. After lunch the groups split up once again and Mac and Harriet slipped away to the bathroom. Mac went in and a few minutes later came out leaving both tests in the bathroom.

A few minutes later both Mac and Harriet entered the bathroom. Both tests lay face down on the counter next to the sink. Mac stood there looking at them. Slowly Mac reached a shaking hand toward the first test. Slowly she picked it up and brought it up so as to better see it and turned it over. Once turned over a bright blue plus sign was apparent in the small box. Mac's eyes went wide and she reached for the second test turning it over to find once again a bright blue plus sign.

Mac slowly lowered her hands and slowly sat down on the toilet seat. Harriet kneeled down in front of her friend and placed a reassuring hand on her knee. Mac looked up at her, "What am I going to do Harriet? How am I going to tell Harm? What will he say? I mean it's only been a month since we've been married," Mac went on and on. Finally Harriet interjected, "Mac, Mac, you're babbling. You and I both know for a fact that Harm will be thrilled to know that you are pregnant with his baby. When you tell him, which you should do soon, he will be more than thrilled." Slowly Mac nodded and then a smile crept over her face. Harriet gave a small squeal and she hugged Mac tightly. "Now, let's get out of here, before someone thinks we've disappeared." They both got up and left the bathroom and returned to helping the rest of the group.

The next couple of hours Mac tried to act normal, except for the small smile that shown on her lips and the sparkle dancing in her eyes. At around 6 o'clock everything was unloaded and set up except for the boxes that still littered every room full of Harm and Mac's personal things and accessories for each room. Harm and Mac had everything packed up from both apartments and brought to their house along with all the furniture. They were going to be living in the house now; both apartments had been brought back onto the market.

The rest of the JAG group left the still known as newly-weds to finish unpacking. Harm showed the rest of the group out the door as Mac headed for the kitchen to start unpacking the boxes left in there. Mac was unpacking glasses when Harm joined her and leaned against the doorframe watching her. Mac turned back to the box and lifted out several more glasses and she caught Harm's stare, "What?" She asked innocently. Harm just smiled and walked towards her, lowering his head he kissed her softly. "What was that for?" She asked softly. "For being my wife," he answered just as softly. Mac smiled and kissed him again.

"Harm, why don't you call and order a pizza while I go upstairs and do a little unpacking." "Okay, sweetie," Harm agreed and kissed her again before she left the room and he heard going up the stairs. Harm called the pizza place and ordered a large half meat lover's and half veggie delight pizza. Then he continued to unpack dishes in the kitchen.

Meanwhile, Mac went upstairs to the master bedroom and made up the new king size bed. She was unpacking clothes, some time later, when she heard the distant sound of the doorbell. "Sarah," Harm called up the stairs a few minutes later, "Pizza's here." Mac finished folding a few tops before closing the drawer and making her way downstairs. She was going to tell him tonight…
