"Jason, does Harm have anything Major planned for this afternoon?"
"No ma'am, only a deposition. Admiral Chegwidden has him on light cases. Why?" He asked pulling up in front of her building.
"Slight change of plans, I need you to drive me to Bethesda."
"I thought you just came from there ma'am."
"Well I can stay here and have the baby in your car."
"Maybe I should call Commander Rabb." He stuttered,
"No just drive me to the hospital. The doctor can check me out and if I am actually in labour then we'll call Commander Rabb okay."
"Yes ma'am." He said hesitantly.

"Mac I thought you left over an hour ago" Dr Freetown greeted her.
"I think the baby had other ideas."
"Come on let's get you checked over."
"Petty Officer, wait here." Mac instructed.
"Yes ma'am." Tiner paced the floor.
"You're definitely in labour Mac. Sorry you had to go all the way home." The doctor said after checking her over.
"Like you said earlier babies have their own schedule."
"I'll get you checked in. Do you want me to call Harm?" She offered.
"No I'll take care of it. Can you send PO Tiner in for me?"
"Of course. I'll be back in a few minutes."
"Ma'am you wanted to see me?" Tiner asked as he entered the room.
"I need you to drive back to JAG and explain what's happening to Harm. Then get him to go by my apartment and pick up my bag."
"Wouldn't it be easier just to call him ma'am?"
"No, this is going to take hours. I know exactly how long it takes to complete the journey, so tell Harm I'll know if he speeds."
"Yes ma'am and good luck."
"Thank you Jason."

"Tiner what took you so long I only told you to drive her home." AJ said as Tiner entered JAG headquarters.
"Sorry Admiral but Colonel Mackenzie went into labour. She asked me to drive her to the hospital."
"Commander Rabb hasn't been paged."
"No sir, the Colonel asked me to come and explain what was going on to him personally and pass on a message. If you'll excuse me I'll go and find him sir."
"He's in an emergency bail hearing, I'll go and get him."
"Sir, Colonel Mackenzie said not to interrupt him if he was busy."
"I think he'll want to interrupted for this."
"Your honour. Sorry to interrupt. May I approach the bench?"
"Of course Admiral." The presiding judge put her hand over the microphone. The Admiral quickly spoke to her. The judge nodded.
"Is there anything else either the government or the defence wants to present at this time?" She asked.
"No your honour." Harm replied, a little curious as to what the Admiral had said.
"No your honour." Sturgis who was acting as prosecutor added.
"I here by grant bail but Ensign you are restricted to barracks."
"Thank you your honour."
"Court adjourned." The judge banged her gavel.
"Commander Rabb, report to my office immediately." The Admiral added.
"Yes sir." Harm collected his thing s and made for the Admiral's office.
"Tiner." AJ yelled.
"Yes sir."
"Give Commander Rabb the message."
"Commander, Colonel Mackenzie had me take her back to Bethesda. She's in labour sir."
"Why the hell did you want until now to tell me I have my pager."
"Colonel Mackenzie ordered me to sir. She would like you to go to her apartment and get her back first. She also said she know exactly how long it takes to get to the hospital so you shouldn't speed."
"Admiral with your permission."
"Go. Let us know what happens."
"Yes sir."
"No ma'am, only a deposition. Admiral Chegwidden has him on light cases. Why?" He asked pulling up in front of her building.
