It was Wednesday before Mac got long enough to go over to the bullpen and
talk to Harriet.
"So are you going to tell her?" Harm whispered in her ear.
"Maybe not straight out. Care to watch flyboy?" She said with a smile.
"You bet."
"Harriet, do you want to go shopping on Saturday?" Mac asked as she stopped in front of Harriet's desk.
"Sounds like fun ma'am. Bud should be able to look after little AJ."
"If not Harm can help." She volunteered.
"Are we shopping for something specific?" Harriet asked.
"It depends on how you feel about pink taffeta." Harm suppressed a smile.
"Pinks not my colour and I can't wear taffeta." Harriet stated.
"Wait for it." Mac mumbled.
"Ma'am, why would we want to buy pink taffeta anyway?" Harriet wondered.
"Well I need to buy a dress that doesn't clash with Harm's dress whites and I think my matron of honour needs a new dress."
"You set a date." Harriet squealed before pulling her into a hug.
"Yep. December 24th."
"That's less than three months away. There is so much to organise."
"I was kind of hoping you could help. Dress shopping is the first step."
"Of course I will. Oh Bud." She stopped her husband as he was walking by. "They set a date."
"Congratulations. You'll have to tell me when so I can pay out the bet when I get back; I'm due in court in ten minutes." He bustled off.
"Since Bud is busy we'd like to offer you the house for the reception."
"That would be great, thank you Harriet." Mac hugged her. "There was one other thing."
"What would that be ma'am?" She asked.
"Harm?" Mac prompted.
"Mac and I were wondering if you and Bud would like to be Jenny's godparents along with Sturgis. We're getting her christened the same day."
"We'd be honoured. Permission to hug the Commander."
"Of course." Harm hugged her.
"Huh hum." AJ cleared his throat.
"Admiral Sir." Harriet pulled out of the hug.
"Would someone care to explain this display please?" AJ demanded.
"The Colonel and the Commander set a date for the wedding and Jenny's christening sir." Harriet said.
"And when would that be?" AJ asked straight-faced.
"December 24th sir." Harm supplied.
"Tiner." AJ yelled.
"Yes sir." Tiner jumped out into the bullpen.
"Make sure I don't make plans for Christmas Eve."
"Yes sir."
"Good. Now everyone get back to work. Justice needs to be served."
"Yes sir." All stood to attention and fired off salutes. AJ went back to his office with a smile.
"So are you going to tell her?" Harm whispered in her ear.
"Maybe not straight out. Care to watch flyboy?" She said with a smile.
"You bet."
