ONE MONTH LATER... 1504 (EST) COURTROOM B JAG HEADQUARTERS FALLS CHURCH, VIRGINIA
"This court martial finds the defendant, Corporal Jose Morales, guilty of treason, murder in the first degree, and obstruction of justice," the jury member read.
"The defendant will report to sentancing at 0900 tomorrow morning, and until then will be held in the brig," the judge announced.
"Oh boy," Mac sighed under her breath.
The defendant, Mac's client, went crazy. He pulled a knife and grabbed the back of her collar, putting it to her neck. He demanded the guards out of the room as well as anyone else that was armed. He backed himself against the wall, pulling her with him.
"Please don't do this," Mac begged, "You can appeal!"
"What does it matter? My wife already left me, she took my three- year-old son, and my unborn daughter with her. Maybe your husband will the paim I'm going through."
"I'm not married , but, yes my baby's father will grieve. Why do you need to do this?"
"Vengence, Colonel. Tell me, do you know the name of you baby's father, or are you a whore like my wife. She's now living with an old school boyfriend, I know they are more than friends now."
"I know his name, and I've known him for eight years..."
"You know his name huh, what is it?"
"Commander Rabb," she mumbled.
"I can't hear you Sarah." he whispered in her ear.
"Commander Harmon Rabb," she said more clearly.
"Ah... The famous Rabb, were you heartbroken when he went back to full flight status?" he continued to torment her.
"That's none of your damn business, Morales," she growled.
He made the mistake of loosening his grip on her. She grabbed the knife and wrenched it out of his hand, not paying attention to the shooting pain in her hand. She held back tears while she threw the knife away from their general area. He shoved her hard against the defense table and with the wonderful law of enertia, she hit her head pretty hard and was out cold. He ran to the judge's chambers figuring there must be another way out and instead ran into four armed Marine guards who promptly *re*arrested him.

In the courtroom...
Mac lay on her side gently holding her belly protectively, her temple already turning an ugly shade of purple, and a pool of blood was forming under her arm.The judge presiding, a Judge Eric Weslowicz, scrambled down from his bench and pulled out a handkerchief and tied it tightly around her hand then cradled her head in his lap as Commander Harmon Rabb Junior came barreling through the courtroom doors.
He rushed to his partner's side and smiled weakly to the judge. Weslowicz handed Mac over to Harm, and he pulled her into his lap.
"Sarah, come on, wake up," he talked to her quietly, "If not for me, then for the baby and yourself. You know this isn't good for it."
Her eyelashes flutteredfor a moment before her eyes slowly opened.
"Harm?" she questioned disorientedly.
"Yes. my Sarah, it's me. Do the world a favor and never scare me like that. I got a call from someone down here and they told me something happened to you. I was so scared." he reasurred her.
"I'm fine, but my hand hurts like hell. Piece of advice, never grab a knife by the blade, it's very painful."
"I'll be sure to do that," he laughed.
"Harm, get me off the floor," she smiled.
"Feel like heading over to Bethesda, you might want to get that hand checked out, and maybe the baby too."
With that, he helped her sit up, and pulled her to her feet. They looked around at the stunned courtroom, who still hadn't moved.
"Genuine concern, you don't see that every day," Mac commented sarcastically.
"Maybe we should get out of here before they start asking for autographs," Harm joked.
"Come on Stickboy," Mac said annoyedly.

That's gonna need stitches Colonel," observed Lieutenant Brian Taylor, "And we'll send you over to the OB when I'm done."
"Thanks, doc," Harm said from his place near Mac's head.
"Do you know what the little one is?"
"Nope," Mac said with a small smile, "We want it to be a surprise."
"Got any names?"
