JAG Headquarters

"Colonel Mackenzie what are you doing here?" Harriet asked as Mac exited the elevator into JAG. "Commander Rabb isn't here at the moment."

"I actually came to see Bud is he in his office?" Mac asked.

"Yes ma'am. How is she?" Harriet asked looking to the pram.

"Asleep for the moment. We just got back from a check up at the hospital."

"Do you need me to watch her while you talk to Bud?" Harriet offered.

"No, she should sleep for a while yet. I'll talk to you properly before I go I promise."

"Yes ma'am."

Mac pushed the pram across the bullpen to Bud's office, she was stopped by a several people who wanted to get a peek at the baby.

"Come." Bud called when Mac knocked on his office door.

"Shush, you'll wake Jenny." Mac said opening the door.

"Colonel, I didn't realise it was you." Bud said jumping to his feet.

"I'm on maternity leave Bud it's fine sit down." She encouraged as she pushed the pram into the room and closed the door behind her. "Now I've been thinking about your call. . . "

"Don't anyone disturb me." Harm bellowed as he walked across the bullpen to his office.

"Sir, I think you should keep your voice down." Harriet said quickly following him.

"Harriet, I don't have time for this, I'm having a bad day and that idiot of a civilian lawyer thinks he's the best thing since sliced bread." He threw his hat against the window.

"I'm sorry about that sir, but with all due respect sir I think you shouldn't yell sir." Harriet said.

"And why should I do that Harriet?"

"Because I don't think you want to wake your daughter sir."

"What's Jenny doing here?" He asked becoming more anxious. "Is something wrong?"

"I don't think so sir. Colonel Mackenzie's been in a meeting with Bud for the last forty-five minutes, she brought Jenny with her."

"Thank you Harriet."

"Yes sir, and your 1430 appointment has been moved back to 1500."

"Thank you."

There was a knock on Bud's office door.

"I'll get it." Mac offered and got up and opened his door. "Hi Harm."

"Hi, what are you doing here?" He said in a whispered tone.

"Bud needed my advice on something so I thought I'd stop by on the way back from the hospital."

"How's Jenny?" He peered over the edge of the pram.

"She's feed, has a clean diaper and fell asleep after I pushed her around in her pram for thirty minutes before coming up. Do you think you could keep an eye on her while I finish helping Bud here."

"Of course. Hi Bud." Harm said as he wheeled the pram out of the office.

"Afternoon sir."

"Don't wake her." Mac warned.

"Yes ma'am." Harm smiled.

"Now where were we?" Mac asked.
