*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* 1319 (EST) HARM'S OFFICE JAG HEADQUARTERS FALLS CHURCH , VIRGINIA

"Harm?"
"Yeah, Mac."
"I- I took the test."
"And?"
"And, it was positive."
"Harriet knows?"
"Yeah, so does the Admiral."
"What did he say?"
"He gave us the rest of the day off. He said it doesn't really matter, as long as it doesn't affect our work."
"So... I'm gonna be a dad?" he put his hand on her stomach.
"Yup."
"Sarah, I really need to talk to you later. Serious talk, no joking."
"Okay. Can we go home now?"
"Yeah. I guess we can."

1403 (EST) BELTWAY EXPRESS VIRGINIA

"Harm?"
"Hmm?"
"I asked Harriet to be the godmother, that's okay with you right?"
"Yeah, fine. What did she say?"
"She said yes, but I think she got kind of scared when I shot out of the stall and almost squeezed her guts out."
"I'd be kinda scared having 130 pounds, 'scuse me 120 pounds of Marine flying at me too," teased Harm.
She playfully punched his arm and got a weird look on her face.
"Harm, I think I'm gonna be sick," Mac stated.
"Oh God, not now. Why on the middle of the Beltway? Here, puke in this," He dumped the contents of the small garbage bag on the floor, and shoved it at her seconds before she got sick.
"Oy, Mac, how much did you eat today? I only remember feeding you a very small breakfast, and if I remember correctly you left to use the bathroom five minutes before we went into court at 0930. You were also in the bathroom at lunch, did you even eat anything else?"
"Guess my stomach keeps a small caché of it. Hey, maybe I even have one of Joe's favorite meals still there. If he didn't knock it outta me when I was fifteen." "Mac," he whined, "Not now. today is supposed to be happy, there's a little MacKenzie-Rabb baby in there.
He once again layed a hand on her now flat stomach, and kept it there the whole way home.

1456 (EST) HARMS APARTMENT NORTH OF UNION STATION WASHINGTON D.C.

"Ya feel any better?" he asked after he'd tucked her into bed, against her protests.
"Yeah, I guess, but you know what would make me feel even better?"
"What?"
"If I wasn't stuck in bed!" she said annoyedly.
"Sarah, I just want you better, so we can enjoy the rest of the day. And the weekend, it is Friday, after all," he smiled.
"I'm not even tired," she yawned.
"Right," he said sarcastically.
"Stay with me?" she pleaded.
"Alright, only because you asked."
He climbed into bed and wrapped his arms around her as did she. They both fell asleep, Mac lying her head on his chest, and his resting against the top of her's.

A/N: Sorry it took so long to post this chapter. My sister's been hogging the computer, I've been bugging my mom to check the sea cadets website, so she knows what to expect on Saturday, when we go to observe. She still hasn't looked. Anyways, as always, review, and Semper Fi. ~Chicago Chick C:
