"I found some people wandering around outside I thought I might bring them
into say hello." Harm said as he came back into Mac's room. "Mac, this is
my stepfather Frank and my grandmother Sarah."
"It's nice to meet you Sarah." Grandma Sarah said to Mac.
"Maybe it's best if you call me Mac it'll be less confusing that way." Mac smiled. "And this is Jenny."
"She looks like Harmon did when he was a baby." Sarah commented.
"I noticed that too." Harm looked at her. "Trish showed me pictures."
"So how's she been?" Harm asked taking Jenny from her.
"I think I got the hang of changing diapers. Frank, Trish went down to the cafeteria to get some lunch with Harriet." Mac informed.
"Thanks Mac, I'll just go and say hello to my wife then I'll be back when I expect to get to hold this little one." Frank replied.
"Of course you can." She smiled. "If you can pry her away from Harm."
"So Grandma what do you think of your great-granddaughter?" Harm asked ignoring Mac's comment.
"She's precious. She's going to grow up to be a real heartbreaker. But for now she'll have her daddy wrapped around her little finger."
"I think I'll have to agree with that one." Mac yawned. "Sorry. I've only had a couple hours sleep, but I'll get used it."
"If you don't get Harm to baby-sit I'm sure he won't mind. What did you say you were calling her?"
"Jennifer Anna Grace Rabb." Mac supplied. "Jenny."
"I like it's a good solid name." Sarah commented.
"I think so."

1824 Mac's Hospital Room.
"I thought I'd come and see the latest addition." The Admiral said walking into the room. "I'm not disturbing you am I?"
"Of course not sir. I'd like you to meet Jenny." Mac held the baby up for him to see. "Jenny this is the Admiral."
"I brought you a gift." He placed a gift bag on the bed.
"Thank you. Would you like to hold her while I open it?" She asked as she carefully laid the baby in AJ's arms.
"Where's Harm got to I'd thought he'd be camped out here." AJ commented in a soft tone.
"He's gone to see if he can bribe the doctor into letting us go home tomorrow." Mac pulled a little teddy bear out of the bag. It wore a jumper emblazoned with the JAG logo. "Thank you sir."
"I think this is one of the times you can call me AJ Mac."
"Thank you AJ." Mac corrected. "How's everything at JAG?"
"I think you have more important things to worry about right now. She'll make a good Naval Officer when's she old enough."
"I think I'd rather she was a Marine."
"I think you and Harm will have to have a debate about that. Rabb's have a long tradition with the Navy."
"And Uncle Matt and I do just fine for the Marines too."
"Touché."
"It's sorted." Harm said entering the room. "Sorry sir, I didn't see you there."
"He brought Jenny a JAG bear." Mac smiled. "You negotiate them into letting us leave?"
"I put forward a very strong argument until the doctor saw my point."
"Do I tell him now or later that Dr Freetown said I could leave at 1000 tomorrow when she came to see me four hours ago?" Mac asked straight- faced.
"You knew, why did you let me go and ask her then?"
"She wanted to see if you were as good a lawyer as you were pilot, I was happy to help."
"You're going to have to watch yourself Harm, I think this little one is going to be able to get you to exactly what she wants just like her Mom."
"It's nice to meet you Sarah." Grandma Sarah said to Mac.
"Maybe it's best if you call me Mac it'll be less confusing that way." Mac smiled. "And this is Jenny."
"She looks like Harmon did when he was a baby." Sarah commented.
