"She's gorgeous, can I hold her?" Trish asked.
"Of course." Mac gently handed her daughter to her grandmother. "How's Harm?"
"Still in the emergency room. He took quite a bump." Trish smiled as she cooed at the baby.
"I would have laughed if I hadn't been in so much pain. No one ever tells you it hurts that much."
"But it's worth it right?"
"Definitely." Mac yawned. "Sorry, it's been a long 16 hours and 4 minutes."
"That's okay. I think this little one has gone to sleep. I'll just put her in her crib and I'll leave you to get some sleep."
"Thanks Trish. Can tell Harm to go home after he's finished, he might as well go and get some sleep, he's got to go to work in work for a few hours tomorrow."
"I'll think he'll want to come back to bit but I'll tell him. I'll come back and see you later."

"Hey, look who's awake?" Harm said a calm and gentle tone.
"Why aren't you on the way to the office it's 0837?" Mac asked sitting up.
"Look Jenny, Mommy is tired and she's still the world's only human speaking clock."
"Let me hold her." Harm handed her the baby. "So how's your head?"
"They kept me in the Emergency Room until an hour ago to make sure I didn't get a concussion. I called the Admiral, who says congratulations by the way, and I don't have to go into noon. So I thought I'd come and keep you and Jenny company."
"I never realised. . ."
"What?" Harm asked.
"How much you could love someone in so little time. She's just over four hours old and I already love her more than life."
"Scary isn't. She's so tiny and precious." Harm sat on the edge of the bed.
"I know this was an accident but I would change this for the world."
"I know me either."
"Off the bed Commander." The nurse said as she entered the room.
"Sorry Lieutenant." Harm got to his feet, Mac smiled.
"How are you feeling this morning Colonel?" She asked.
"A bit sore and tired but other than that I'm fine."
"Good. Would you like some breakfast?" The nurse asked.
"Please I'm starving."
"When aren't you?" Harm commented.
"New mothers need to keep up their strength. By the way Commander the doctor wants to check you over again before you leave." She said in a harsh tone.
"Thank you Lieutenant."
"I'll be back in a few minutes." She said to Mac in a happier tone.
"What did you do to annoy her?" Mac asked.
"I wanted to wake Jenny up and kind of said something I should have when she wouldn't let me."
"Good for her. One piece of advice your Mom gave me, never wake a sleeping baby."
"I'll have to remember that. Mom's going to stop by later. Harriet took her back to my apartment to get some sleep." Just then Jenny let out a cry.
"Ah shush sweetheart. I think she's hungry, can you wait outside a few minutes while I feed her."
"I can stay." He offered.
"I'd rather you didn't. I'll call you when we're done I promise."
"Okay. I'll go and get some coffee."

"Hi Sarah." Trish said as she and Harriet entered Mac's room.
"Hi. You just missed Harm, he had to go back to JAG to sort a few things out so he could take a couple of days off."
"I know we saw him on our way in."
"So Mac how are you doing so far?" Harriet asked as she handed Mac a 'it's a girl' balloon.
"I'm not sure, it's strange I was waiting for this for nine months and now she's here I have completely no idea what I'm supposed to do."
"You adapt very quickly. Besides I'm here to help." Trish smiled at her.
"Thanks."

A/N: I know this sounds like it's coming to an end but don't worry it's going to keep going for a while there are some definite things that need resolving and I think it's going to take a while to get there yet.
"Of course." Mac gently handed her daughter to her grandmother. "How's Harm?"
"Still in the emergency room. He took quite a bump." Trish smiled as she cooed at the baby.
