"I don't see that being a problem Colonel, but you and Cmdr Rabb won't be
able to be partners anymore."
"I understand sir." Mac confirmed.
"And the US military would prefer it if you were married."
"I think that maybe one step too far at the moment sir."
"I thought you'd say that. There maybe one other option I have available to you."
"I'm listening sir."
"In another month there will be a judgeship opening up. You have the experience necessary and I'm willing to recommend you if you'd like the position."
"Do you think I'm ready Admiral?"
"Yes. This way if anything were to happen Cmdr Rabb and yourself wouldn't be in the same direct chain of command, which would result in a smaller chance of JAG having to become involved."
"Could I take a few days to think it over sir?" Mac asked.
"Of course Mac, talk it over with Harm. Let me know what you decide by the end of the week."
"Thank you sir."
"On a lighter note, how are you enjoying motherhood?"
"I don't know what I was expecting sir, but it's definitely different from being a Marine or a lawyer." She smiled
"How's Harm coping?" AJ inquired.
"He's great with her. Whenever he starts singing she quietens down and usually falls asleep."
"It sounds like you've grown accustomed to him being around."
"I think it's an acquired response sir. Jenny definitely prefers it when he's there. Speaking of Jenny I'd better get home, I left her with Trish."
"It was nice to see you. Think it over and let me know."
"I will, thank you sir."

"Hello?" Harm said letting himself into Mac's apartment.
"Hi. Look who's home Jenny." Mac said as she carried Jenny into the living room.
"Hey sweetheart." Harm took her from Mac. "You been a good girl for your Mommy today?"
"She needs to go to sleep. She spent the afternoon with Trish and apparently spent most of it crying."
"Let's get you to sleep and then Mommy can tell me what she did today."
~Would you dance if I asked you to dance?
Or would you run and never look back?
Would you cry if you saw me crying?
And would you save my soul tonite?
Would you tremble if I touched your lips?
Or would you laugh? Oh please tell me this.
Would you die now for the one you love?
Oh hold me in your arms tonight.
I can be your hero baby
I can kiss away your pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away.
Would you swear that you'll always be mine?
Or would you lie? Would you run and hide?
Am I in too deep? Have I lost my mind?
I don't care. You're here tonight.
I can be your hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away ~
"She's asleep. I'll put her in her crib."
"Thank you." Mac whispered. "Juice." Mac handed Harm a glass as he came back.
"So did you go anywhere nice this afternoon?" He sat down on the couch.
"Only to JAG, I had to see the Admiral." Mac sat down and curled her feet under her.
"I didn't see you." He commented.
"You were busy I didn't want to interrupt. I talked to him about us getting a place
"I understand sir." Mac confirmed.
