Two weeks later
"I'll go and check on Jenny during the recess for lunch." Mac commented as she and Harm walked towards the court room.
"Good. By the way do you want to marry me?" Mac stopped and stared at him.
"Inside now." She ordered, opening the door to her office. "Would you care to explain?" She asked.
"I was wondering if you wanted to marry me so I thought I'd ask. So do you?" He stepped closer to her.
"You have the worst timing. We're due in court in seven minutes and 23 seconds. What would even possess you to ask something like that now?" Mac demanded.
"I love you. So why not?"
"I love you too but that's not the issue." She paused. "I need to clear my head so I'll see you in court."
"You didn't give me an answer."
"I'll think about it. Now get out."

"Objection." Harm yelled.
"Over ruled. You can answer the question Ensign." Mac instructed.
"Your honour, I object to this whole line of questioning."
"And your objection is noted Cmdr. Cmdr Turner if you'd like to continue."
"Your honour." Harm protested again.
"Approach the bench." Mac insisted. Harm and Sturgis went to the bench, Mac covered the microphone with her hand. "Cmdr, the objection has been over ruled and noted if you decide to protest anymore I will hold you in contempt of court. Do you understand?"
"Yes Your Honour." Harm replied.
"Good. By the way yes."
"Excuse me Your Honour?" Harm questioned.
"I said yes." Mac took her hand off of the microphone. "Cmdr Turner would you repeat the question for the witness."
"Yes Your Honour." Sturgis looked at Harm trying to figure out what Mac had said yes to. "Ensign. . . "

"I think now would be a good time to break for lunch. The court will be in recess until 1400." Mac banged her gavel.
"All rise." The clerk ordered. Mac left and headed towards her office.
"Mac can I talk to you a second?" Harm said catching up with her.
"Is this about the case Cmdr, because if it is Cmdr Turner should be present?" Mac kept her composure.
"It's not."
"Is it about Jenny?"
"No."
"Then no, it would be inappropriate for us to have a discuss as it could be misconstrued as you try to influence a judge and we wouldn't want. I'll expect you to be on time for the court to reconvene."
