". . . ran up the clock, the clock struck one, the mouse ran down, hickory dickory dock." Mac blew a raspberry onto Jenny's stomach.
"Interesting noise there Mac." Harm said from the bedroom doorway, rubbing sleep from his eyes.
"Good morning to you too. We were just about to come and wake you up. Bud, Harriet and AJ will be here in thirty two minutes."
"Knowing Bud and Harriet it won't be that precise but I get your point. So how is my little angel this morning?" He asked picking Jenny up from the changing table where Mac had just finished getting her dressed.
"Wide awake. She's all ready had her bottle, I've changed her diaper and she's dressed. Now we're going to go and make breakfast while you go and take a shower."
"You could always come with me." He kissed the side of her neck pulling her close with his free hand, the other holding Jenny next to his chest.
"Nice try sailor, but I've already had my shower. But if you can keep that thought going to when I get home I'll be more than happy to try it out."
"Are you going to show me your dress when you get back?"
"Not on your life flyboy. You'll just have to wait three months like everyone else." She drew her lips to his and kissed him. Jenny cooed. "Come on darling, we'd better go and make Daddy some coffee and toast."
"I think she's a little young to be making coffee and toast, don't you?" He teased.
"Only about as she is too young to watch cartoons on TV."
"Cartoons can be educational." He protested.
"How old are you? She's three months old, read her a book, sing to her, just don't let her watch cartoons. There is enough violence in the world that we need to protect her from it while we still can."
"Okay." He kissed the top of her head. "Go and make me some coffee, I'll be down in a few minutes."
"Yes sir." She said with mock seriousness.

"Hey AJ." Mac said as she opened the door.
"Auntie Mac." He hugged her legs. "Where Jenny?"
"Over there." She pointed to where Jenny was bouncing and playing with a chewy toy.
"Hi Mac, he was so eager to come over and see her." Harriet said as she came in the door. Bud followed behind her.
"Harm should be down in a minute, so Bud there are a few instructions. He is one hundred percent not allowed to put Jenny in her chair in front of cartoons and no plane or ships either."
"Isn't she a little young for cartoons?" Harriet asked.
"Yes, my point exactly, I think she likes the colours but I still don't want her watching them."
"Yes ma'am." Bud replied.
"Let's go while we can still get out of here." Harriet suggested.
"Tell him I said goodbye and his breakfast is on the counter in the kitchen."
"Yes ma'am. Have a good time." He kissed his wife.
"Have they gone already?" Harm said as he came down the stairs after hearing the door close.
"Yes sir. The Colonel said to say goodbye and not to let Jenny watch any cartoons."
"It's Harm and you can call her Mac. Harriet seems to have got the hang of it."
"Force of habit. AJ give Jenny back her toy." He said as AJ was trying to take the toy from Jenny.
"Hey AJ." Harm called to him.
"Unca Harm." AJ ran to Harm and Harm swooped him up into his arms.
"Hey kid, what are you doing to my kid?"
"Playing with her toy. She gets good toys."
"So do you. Remember you have that plane your Uncle Harm bought you."
"Can Jenny have plane too?" AJ asked excitedly.
"Auntie Mac says no. She's not allowed to play with planes or boats."
"Navy have boats, lots and lots of boats."
"I know. But if Auntie Mac says no, she means no. So do you feel like going to the park?"
"Yeah." AJ cheered.
"I'll just have to get Jenny in her pram and then we can go."
"Mac said your breakfast in on the counter."
"It'll be cold now. We'll have to feed it to the ducks."
". . . ran up the clock, the clock struck one, the mouse ran down, hickory dickory dock." Mac blew a raspberry onto Jenny's stomach.
