"Mic!"
"Sarah, love! What happened?" Mic said while turning around.
"Brumby?!" Harm said astonished that he would even show his face around here anymore.
"Commander Rabb! You did this to her didn't you?"
Mac cut in,"Mic, what are you doing here?"
"I was in town and decided to see how you were doing."
"Oh. Uh, I'm fine thanks. Listen, you wanna have lunch with us, or something? Catch up, that kind of thing?"
"Uh, sure, maybe you can enlighten me as to how this happened," he said gesturing to her abdomen.
"Okay, my break is at 1130, where do you feel like going?"
"Would McMurphy's be okay?"
"Yeah sure. So 1130, let me write it down," she picked up a stack of files and balanced them on top of another pile of folders, making it more wobbly.
"Okay, see you then..." When she loooked up he was gone and only Harm remained. He was leaning on the doorjam, as usual smiling at her.
"What, flyboy?"
"Nothing."
"Don't start the 'nothing' routine with me. I know ways around it."
"I know, I was planning on telling you eventually anyways. Okay, first of all you forgot your first button, so I've had a pretty nice view for the past five minutes; second of all, youv'e got to clean up your desk, one day, it's going to avalanche all over you and it'll take the SRTs all day to find you."
"Very funny flyboy."
"I thought so. I've got to be in court in 20 minutes, so I'll go now, love you Ninja Girl."
"I love you too, flyboy."
He was no more than a half of a foot outside of her office, when she came barreling out with her hand over her mouth. He chased after her, previous knowledge told him this may not be good. They raced to the bathroom where she lost her breakfast, Harm holding back her hair so it wouldn't be soiled. Harriet came in the bathroom just after she finished and asked her if she was okay.
"Harriet, I'm alright! Really!" Mac assured her, "Just a bout of morning sickness."
"But ma'am, you're seven months in, it's not common to have morning sickness this late."
"Harriet, I'll be alright, I'll even call my OB if it makes you feel any better."

"Sarah!"
"Hey Mic, come on in, I'll be ready in a minute."
She took the telephone off of speakerphone, and continued her conversation.
"So, is it bad, or is it just the baby not agreeing with what I ate... Uh, oh yeah, I had eggs, bacon-the saltless kind, and Harm stuffed in some pancakes somehow... So it's just the fact that I over ate... Okay, thanks, bye."
"Sorry about that Mic, I had a minor problem this morning and Harriet made me promise to call my OB."
"What happened?"
"I just got a bout of morning sickness. Nothing big."
"Oh. So hypothetically, if the wedding actually happened, and this was my baby, would you have done everything the same?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, would you be fretting over every problem?"
"Mic, this is my first baby. I've never done this before, I wouldn't be willing to put ANY of my children in danger. No matter if it was yours, or Harm's, or anyone else's."
"Alright, don't be so defensive! It's just a question. Forget about it."
"Harm won't be coming, he's tied up in court."
"Pity, maybe next time," he said sarcastically.
"Mic!"
"Sorry!"
"Do you want to drive, or do you want me to?"
"I can't."
"Why?"
"Because I don't fit behind the wheel."
"Okay I parked over here."

"So how's the world treating you, Mic?"
"It's alright, I guess. So tell me sarah, how did this happen?" he gestured to her tummy.
"Heat of the moment, I guess, I don't really remember."
"So Rabb really is the father?"
"Yeah, he is."
"Should have known."
"It was really an accident, but I don't really regret any of it."
