Mac's office.
"That's it Heather I'm out of here." Mac said as she pulled her office door shut. "Anything new will have to be put on hold until January 2nd."
"Yes ma'am. Good luck tomorrow."
"Thank you. You may as well take off too, have a good holiday."
"You too ma'am."
1530 Harm and Mac's house.
"How many places should I set?" Chloe asked as Mac changed Jenny's diaper. Mac did a quick mental calculation.
"Eighteen plus one for little AJ."
"Eighteen?" Chloe questioned.
"Eighteen." Mac confirmed.
"Because when I asked Harm last night he said fifteen plus little AJ."
"No it's eighteen trust me."
"Okay. Grandma Sarah is taking a nap. She says to wake her an hour before you want to go."
"Thanks Chloe. I'll be down in as soon as I get Jenny to sleep."
1930 Post Rehearsal Harm and Mac's house.
"Mac, how come there are three extra place settings?" Harm asked as Mac was checking on the drink and how much ice they had in the kitchen.
"Don't worry about it. Is everyone here?" She asked as he tugged her into her arms.
"Yes they're all waiting for you to come out with the drinks."
"Then let's not keep them waiting." She quickly kissed him, and then grabbed a tray. "Make yourself useful."
When everyone had a drink Mac got to her feet.
"Before we serve dinner, which has been catered and should be keeping warm in the oven. Harriet, Meredith, Bobbi, Trish and I have a little confession to make." Mac paused. "You see......" She started but was interrupted by the doorbell.
"Everyone's here, I wonder who that is?" Harm said.
"You'd better get it, it's for you." Mac said with a smile.
"How do you know that Mac? Are you having visions again?" Sturgis asked.
"Just call me psychic." Harm looked at her quizzical before getting up to get to open the front door.
"Yes?" Harm said as he opened the door.
"We heard there was a Naval Commander who was getting married tomorrow we thought we come and make sure we weren't just hearing things." A familiar voice said.
"Keeter? Skates? Admiral Boone? What are you doing here?" Harm exclaimed.
"Like he said we heard you were getting married tomorrow and we thought we'd come and make sure it was true. How you doing Harm?" Skates asked.
"We also got invited to dinner. So are you going to let us in its getting cold out here?" Tom Boone asked.
"Sorry guys come in." Harm said opening the door wider so they could come in.
"Hey glad you could make it." Mac said from the doorway with a smile. "You're just in time for dinner."
"You knew about this?" Harm suspiciously asked.
"Who else do you think called us?" Lieutenant Elizabeth Hawkes asked slipping off her coat. "So did you confess yet?" She asked Mac.
"Not yet. I was about to; it was making a good delay tactic until you got here."
"We would have been here ten minutes ago if Keeter wasn't such a bad driver. I can't imagine why they let him fly planes for a living." Skates teased.
"Hey Lieutenant I out rank you." Keeter snapped playfully.
"Hey this is my house, no rank is being pulled. Isn't that right Admiral?" Mac asked as Tom gave her a hug.
"Definitely Mac. It's good to see you."
"It's good to see you too Tom."
"Why do I feel like I'm in the middle of a mass conspiracy?" Harm asked confused.
"No we're about to have our rehearsal dinner as soon as I make the introductions. Everyone we have a few last minute guests." Mac made quick introductions and everyone sat down. "Now where was I in the confession?" Mac asked.
"You see." Webb supplied.
"Okay. Sturgis when you asked me about the whistling and the humming last week, I may have not told the entire truth."
"Mac, you're a judge you're supposed to be for honesty and everything." Sturgis teased.
"Does someone else want to help me out here?" Mac asked.
"I'll tell them." Grandma Sarah said. "Trish showed me and Chloe earlier." Mac mouth thank you to her. "About two weeks ago I understand you had a bachelor party for my grandson and after many many shots of alcohol a Lieutenant Ellison spurred on some well timed karaoke. It appears the proprietor of the establishment recognised you all and happened to have a video camera handy and recorded the event for prosperity."
"Mac?" Harm turned to look at her. "How did you get a hold of this tape?"
"He handed it over when he gave me your wallet. It's the funniest thing we've seen in a long time. Right ladies?" They all nodded in agreement.
"Colonel, just what do you plan to do with this tape?" AJ asked.
"Which copy would that be Admiral? The one that I have or the ones the rest of the women around this table apart from Skates and Chloe have, or the one my safety deposit box or the one that Webb's mother has?" AJ started to turn red. "Ladies, maybe you could help me serve dinner." Mac said quickly getting up from the table and making her way to the kitchen. Where they all cracked up. "Right dinner." Mac said as they all composed themselves.
"You know I'm going to have to see a copy of this tape." Skates said.
"I know. We'll show you before you go." Trish said with a smile.
"That's it Heather I'm out of here." Mac said as she pulled her office door shut. "Anything new will have to be put on hold until January 2nd."
"Yes ma'am. Good luck tomorrow."
