Gold Wings and Dress Whites

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Fall Circle Part 2: The Future

JAG Headquarters

Falls Church, Virginia

Washington DC

July 1st 2010

Lieutenant Corey Rabb smiled at his wife and gave her hand a gentle squeeze as they entered the JAG office; he'd been stationed at Norfolk now for a month after finishing another deployment at sea. Chloe was glad he was home; she'd rang him days after he'd deployed and told him he was going to be a father. He hadn't stopped smiling for a week. His nine-year-old siblings were excited about having a baby cousin, his mum had complained about being too young to be a grandmother – she was only thirty-seven that year and now Cag aboard the USS Ticonderoga. His dad was now JAG and an Admiral to boot. His Aunt Mac had become a Judge and his Uncle Matt was still at the Pentagon, running the place his dad had joked. Captain Bud Roberts had taken over as Regional Fleet JAG, his wife also now a Captain, was running the Public Affairs office in Washington.

Lieutenant Commander Jason Tiner acknowledged them. "Afternoon Lieutenant Rabb, Mrs. Rabb."

"Commander, we have an appointment to see the Admiral."

"Your Aunt and Uncle are with him," he informed.

"Well that takes care of seeing them later," Chloe mused.

Jason ached an eyebrow. "Is everything all right?"

"Just fine Commander, excuse us," Corey insisted and lead his wife towards the Admiral's office.

Petty Officer Andrea Neil smiled as they approached. "Good afternoon Lieutenant, the Admiral is expecting you, go on in."

"Thanks Andy,"

She blushed shyly, which made Chloe chuckle softly. Her husband always had that affect on women; it was that flyboy grin he'd inherited off his father.

They walked into the office, closing the door when they were inside. Being hugged by his father and Uncle and Aunt.

Matt patted his nephew on the back. "How are you Lieutenant?"

"Fine sir."

Harm perched on the end of his desk. "What have you been feeding your wife Corey, she looks ready to explode," he teased.

"I am ready to explode, Dad," Chloe exclaimed. "And it's from nothing he feed me."

He shook his head chuckling. "Sit down sweetheart."

She did with a little help from her husband. "Thank you."

"Now Mr. Rabb," Harm said addressing his son. "Why the urgency?"

"Well, we thought you'd like to know a small fact about your grandchildren."

Matt caught it first. "Grandchildren?" He looked at them both. "As in twins?"

"Triplets actually," Chloe revealed.

"Triplets?" Mac repeated stunned.

"And you're only telling us now?" their Uncle exclaimed.

Corey noticed his father wasn't as shocked as the others. "Dad?"

He shrugged. "I had a feeling, after all I spend a lot of time with your Aunt Sam when she was pregnant with your brother and sister."

Mac arched an eyebrow, grinning. "So how long have you two known?"

"Since Chloe was nine weeks," he told her. "It wasn't an easy secret to keep."

"I bet, so do you know if they're boys or girls?"

"Two girls and a boy," Chloe told her 'big sister' who was also her Aunty by marriage.

"Congratulations sweetheart,"

"Thank you Aunt Mac," she teased.

They all gave her a hug while she remained sitting.

Matt slapped Corey on the back. "Way to go kid," he smirked.

"Thanks Uncle Matt."

"So have you guys thought of names?" Harm inquired.

"Well," Corey hesitated for a moment. "I'd like to call our son Christopher and Chloe thought of Sara and Lysandra for the girls."

"They sound perfect, Core," his father told him gently.

"Thanks Dad."

"Come on, we'll go get some lunch,"

"Good idea, I'm starving," Chloe declared making them all laugh.

"You're always hungry, honey," Corey teased.

"Well it's half your fault I'm in this condition," she reminded.

"I know and I enjoyed every minute," he smirked, grinning that flyboy grin of his.

"He's his father's son all right," Matt declared keeping a straight face.

"Oh yeah," Mac agreed laughing.

"So when are you going to tell your mother?" Harm asked his son as they left the office.

"We rang her before we came here," he smirked. "I'm surprise you couldn't hear her and Uncle Sergei from here."

"I wondered what that noise was," he mocked and addressed his yeoman. "We're going to lunch, Andy."

"Aye sir. Don't forget you have an appointment with the SecNav this afternoon," she reminded. "Fourteen hundred."

"I won't,"

"How is Uncle AJ?" Corey asked him.

"Enjoying pushing me around," Harm told him, and they laughed.

AJ Chegwidden had been offered the position of SecNav two years ago, leaving JAG to Harm, now he was getting his own back.

"It's revenge Harm, you should be use to it by now." Mac teased him.

"I know,"

Chuckling Mac patted him on the back. "Don't worry flyboy, I'll protect you."

"Thank you Ninja-girl."

"You're welcome."

Corey laughed; it was just like old times.

Two months later:

Bethesda Naval Hospital

1st September 2010

Captain Sera Rabb smiled as her husband as he entered the hospital room. "About time you go here, Hammer."

"Sorry, I had to get out of several meetings," he grinned sheepishly.

"We forgive you Dad," Corey told him from where he sat with his wife on the bed. In his arms was their son Christopher, Chloe held their daughter Sara, while daughter Lysandra was being held by Sera.

Harmon and his sister Katherine, or Katie as she was known rushed in behind their father. Both were the imagers of their parents, when Harm and Sera had been their children's age. They went closer.

"They're so cute, Corey." Katie exclaimed quietly.

"Thanks little sister."

"Can I hold her, Chloe?" Harmon asked referring to the baby in his mother's arms.

"Sure kiddo."

Sera stood and let her son sit down before putting the newborn in his arms. "There you go, honey," she said then went over to her husband.

He slipped his arm around her. "Hi grandma."

"Don't you start, grandpa," she teased.

"Yes Ma'am," he chuckled.

Behind them the door to the room opened and Samantha, her husband Michael and their eight year-old twin daughters entered the room. Both Caitlin and Deanna hurried over to Harmon and Katie to look at the baby in his arms.

"Congratulations, Chloe, Corey," Samantha said and carefully giving them a hug.

"Thanks Aunt Sam,"

"He looks like you, Corey," Michael noted studying the newborn.

"He's a Rabb," Corey said proudly.

"Another Squid!" Mac sighed as she, Matt, eight year-old David and four year-old Harmony came into the room. "We're being over run."

"Easy honey, we're also out numbered," her husband reminded.

"You sure are mum," sixteen year-old Emily Mitchell exclaimed as she entered the room. Despite having Marines for parents, she wore a t-shirt that had NAVY written in big black letters. She grinned. "Congrats Chloe, Corey."

"Thanks Em," Corey said. "Would you like to hold Chris?"

"Yeah," she hurried over to him and confidently took the newborn from his arms. "Hey little squid."

Matt looked to his brother-in-law. "It's all your fault,"

Harm smiled his flyboy grin. "I know," he smirked and they all laughed.

They stayed as long as the hospital staff would let them, finally they were asked to leave so Chloe and the triplets could get some rest, even Corey was told to go home and get some sleep.

Sera and Harm drove home, Harmon going with his mother and Katie with her father. At the house the twins were the first out of the cars. An identical plan inside their heads that neither needed to confer with the other about.

"Mum can we go over and tell Uncle AJ and Aunt Meredith about the triplets?" Harmon asked.

"Sure honey, don't be long though,"

"We won't," they called in unison as they ran off in the direction of the Chegwidden house.

Harm embraced his wife, chuckling. "AJ might think he's getting revenge on me as SecNav, but I think I still have one over him, or should I say two."

Sera agreed. "They can twist him around their little fingers,"

"Like you twist me?" He asked teasing.

She kissed him. "Yes," she slipped her arms around his neck. "I love you Harmon Rabb, Jr."

"And I love you, Sera Rabb," Harm whispered, then swung her up into his arms, hearing her giggle. "Come on sweetheart, I'd say we have a good hour before AJ and Meredith kick the twins out."

Laughing Sera didn't tell him differently as he carried her inside. They'd come so far in their lives and their careers and there was so much they hadn't done, but they would. And they wouldn't change any part of either. They were together.

Fall Circle.
