CONSEQUENCEFUL ASSIGNMENT

Consequenceful Assignment
JAG HQ
1400 local time
Today is the day that they are scheduled to return. They've been on this undercover assignment for 7 months now and AJ Chegwidden is glad to get his top lawyers back. As much trouble as this pair was involved in over and over again, they were the best. But unfortunately that was the reason, why they had to go on this assignment. Nobody really knew what they had been doing. And even Admiral Chegwidden's only information was that weapons had requested the help of JAG and due to Meg Austin's former activitys as a weapons officer they requested his best team. Not that the fact that they were hot-shots didn't help this choice as well...
However, now everybody is curious to hear their storys and the whole JAG HQ crew is impatiently awaiting their arrival. Everybody had gathered in the bullpen to welcome them. Even Admiral Chegwidden is among them. Finally he didn't have to handle the hot cases on his own anymore. Captain Krennick - of course - is the one who is most impatient. Seven months without being able to try getting Harm into her bed. She couldn't wait to throw innuendo at him again.
PLING
The elevator doors open. Commander Harm Rabb steps out. He is grinning his famous flyboy grin, though it seemed to be a little different today. Almost apologizig in a way. He is wearing his dress blues and carrying his cover as it is supposed to be.
Now Commander Meg Austin emerges as well. She is chewing on her lower lip and looks around a little bit unsure. But she is wearing denim baggy dungarees and an oversized hooded sweatshirt. She also seemed to have gained weight during the last months and is somewhat chubby.
They step into the bullpen and salute. Harm speaks up: "Commanders Rabb and Austin reporting as ordered, Sir."
Admiral Chegwidden, and everybody else, returns the salute. "In my office Commanders." He orders and enters his office, followed by Captain Krennik and the two homecomers.
The Admiral sits down in his chair. "Have a seat Commanders."
They sit down in front of his desk and Commander Krennik remains standing.
"First of all, Commander Austin, why aren't you wearing your uniform?" Chegwidden asks.
"It, uhm, doesn't fit anymore, Sir." She replies.
"It doesn't fit anymore?" Krennick barks.
Chegwidden looks quizzically. "How's that Commander?"
Now Harm answers. "Commander Austin is, well, pregnant Sir."
She stands up, removes her sweatshirt and exposes her swollen belly.
PREGNANT?" Krennik shouts, and the Admiral just nods and asks calmly "How far ahead?"
"24th week, Sir." Meg touches her belly lovingly, while Harm smiles full of pride.
Chegwidden nods again. "You might not have to do something with that by chance, Commander Rabb?"
He blushes. "Well, uhm..."
"I thought so." AJ chuckles slightly.
Krennik's face goes pale and she has to sit down, mumbling "I can't believe it" to herself.
"My congrats." He shakes the hands of the soon to be parents.
"Sir, I'll have to request maternity leave."
"Of course. You know, that you can't continue to work as partners?"
"Yes, Sir." They reply.
"Well, my suggestion now is, that you transfer to reserves right away, but continue to work here until it's time."
"I'll do that, thank you Sir."
"Are you planning to get married?" Krennik chokes as she hears the Admiral ask that.
"As soon as the kids are born, Sir." Harm smiles proudly again.
"Kids?" AJ asks stunned.
"Twins run in my family, Sir." Meg smiles as proud as Harm now.
