A/N I forgot to put this in my first post, but this is my first JAG fic. I have done a few X-Files ones, and they are posted at the offical X-Files forum. This idea I got from someone at the USA JAG board, so I can't take credit for the idea, only the writing of it.

Disclaimers: I don't own any of these characters, ect ect ect, no money is being made from my end off this fic, ect ect ect.

Please R&R. I need to know if anyone wants me to continue....

"Harm, Sturgis just walked through the door. Try not to let him see us."

Harm was not ready to face his pal yet, and pulled his baseball hat lower on his head to hide his face as he ducked his head. "It's a good thing I am the one facing him. At least I have a hat to hide behind, whereas you have nothing really. Just keep your head turned slightly to the wall, and maybe he won't stay long."

Mac nodded. "The civvies might help too. We could look like anyone from behind really." Harm nodded his agreement. Harm watches from under his lashes as Sturgis sat down at the bar not that far from their booth. Harm and Mac could still whisper, and not be heard by Sturgis, but talking at a normal tone would give them away. But, they didn't risk saying anything, not ready to answer the questions that would undoubtably be forthcoming. They hear Sturgis order a beer, and watch him settle down on the stool. He begins talking to the barkeeper.

After about a minute or two, Harm sees someone else walk in the door. Mac hears him groan and ask what is wrong. "Mac, Bud just walked it. It looks like he has just got done with his PT." They watch Bud settle next to Sturgis and the two begin to talk.

"Hey Bud, how was therapy?"

"Therapy went well. The doctor's say I am ahead of schedule." Bud beamed.

"That is wonderful. I am proud of you Bud. Let me know when you are ready to start jogging again," Sturgis teases the man next to him.

"I have a hard enought time keeping up with my four year-old. I think that is enough for now." Bud laughs, and is joined by Sturgis. "Any more news on the Commander and the Colonel?" Harm and Mac duck to hide some more, but wondering what they were going to be hearing.

"The Admiral said they would be in tomorrow morning sometime, but he didn't want anyone going to visit until later in the afternoon." Sturgis informed Bud of the newest news.

Bud thought about this for a moment, then replied. "Harriet has been waiting for them to come back. I think her mother-hen instincts are in full throttle, especially with the prenancy. But, they both need some pampering. The Admiral has only told us parts of what they went throught, and I can't imagine what he WASN'T telling us. I am still shocked that the Commander resigned his commission. But, when the Admiral told us why, I wasn't that shocked really. I just wonder...." Bud trailed off, but Sturgis knew what he meant.

"I know Bud. Have they always been this bad?" Bud nodded at him. Sturgis just shook his head. "Harm once told me that he didn't have a girl, that she had him. I didn't get what he meant until I heard he had resigned. But, he loves her too much to sit in some office and do nothing about it. He had to go find her Bud."

"I know sir. I just wonder what she is going to say when he tells her about his marriage.I am glad I won't be there for that." Bud watched Sturgis practically spewed the liquid in his mouth in shock.
