"Can anyone join this party?" Meredith asked as she and the Admiral
entered. Bud, Harriet and little AJ had arrived a few minutes before.
"More the merrier." Mac said.
"I'll just go and check on Gunny and Jason. I had to referee a dispute on the way over here. So if you'll excuse me sirs, ma'ams."
"I'll see you later Jen." Mac smiled. "And if you see my husband tell him that it doesn't take forty-five minutes to find a cab and to get his six back here. Tell him it's an order."
"Yes ma'am."
"I see you're putting your promotion to good use." AJ smiled.
"It's got to have some fringe benefits."
"How is she coping with all these people coming to visit?" Meredith asked.
"She's been asleep through most of it. But she did throw up on Webb so all in all I'd say she's doing well."
"I can I see the baby?" Little AJ asked.
"Of course you can. Come sit on the bed." Harriet lifted him up so he could sit and look at the baby.
"What's she called?" AJ asked.
"Abigail. Can you say that?"
"Abid.. abid.."
"Ab - i - gail" Mac enunciated for him.
"Abidgail."
"Why don't we just try Abi?" She asked.
"Abi." AJ said. "When can she play with me?"
"It's going to be a while sweetheart. She's too little at the moment." Everyone watch as Mac interacted with her godson and her daughter.

"Room for one more?" Sturgis asked as he came in.
"Since Harm still isn't here sure." Mac smiled.
"I have a message from Petty Officer Coates concerning Harm."
"Oh yes?" Mac asked.
"She called his cell phone when she couldn't find him. Apparently he couldn't find Trish and Grams a cab so they insisted that he drive them to the mall. Then they insisted they take him shopping. Jen said something about pink fluffy some or other. He'll be back as soon as he can."
"Now that's something I'd like to see." AJ joked.
"She also said to tell you that she was taking Gunny and Tiner home before they got physical. They were debating which was better the Navy or the Marines and got thrown out of the café. She'll drop by once your home."
"Thanks Sturgis."
"We'd better go." Harriet said. "Call me if you need anything." She gave Mac a gentle hug.
"I will thanks. Bye AJ, bye Bud."
"Goodbye Auntie Mac. Bye Abi." He gave the little girl a kiss on the forehead. "We'll play when you get big." Harriet, Mac and Meredith couldn't help but gush.
"Bye ma'am." Bud said.
"Bud." Mac scolded.
"I'm still working on it." AJ and Meredith chuckled. The Roberts' left.
"So ma'am, let me take a look." Sturgis said.
"If you're going to start doing that you can get out."
"Doing what?" Sturgis asked.
"Ma'am -ing me. Unless we're in court or in my office having a discussion about a case, it's still Mac."
"Did I call you ma'am?" He questioned. Meredith nodded.
"I'll make it an order. I can do that can't I AJ?" Mac asked.
"Sure. Just add in front of the SecNav and we'll have no problems."
"And in front of the SecNav." Mac amended.
"Aye aye ma'am." He winked at her. "So do I get to see her yet?"
"Sure. Abi meet your Uncle Sturgis, he's another sailor, but we can over look that for now."
"Are you telling her that about everyone?" Sturgis asked as Mac handed her to him.
"No. Gunny got let off because he's a Marine, little AJ and Meredith aren't military and Admiral AJ because he's the Admiral. Everyone else is fair game." She smiled.
"I'm going to have to watch you. And this little one is going to have everyone twisted around her little finger."
"I'm told it's a common thing with Rabb women."
"On that note it's time for us to leave." AJ said.
"I'll come and visit soon." Meredith hugged her. "Congratulations again."
"Thanks Meredith. And thanks for coming to visit."
"Goodbye Sturgis. Bye sweetheart."
"Bye Mac, Sturgis." AJ said as they left.
"Can you watch her for a minute while I go to the bathroom?" Mac asked.
"Sure." Sturgis said less than confidently.
"She's asleep she'll be fine."
