When Mac got back to her office she couldn't hear Abi crying which she took as a good sign. But she did hear Jen singing gently.

"~ Mercury was near the Sun so Janet stopped by,

But the mercury on Mercury was much too high, so

Janet split for Venus but on Venus she found

She couldn't see a thing for all the clouds around.

Earth looked exciting, kind of green and inviting,

So Janet thought she'd give it a go.

But the creatures on that planet looked so very weird to Janet,

She didn't even dare to say hello. It's a bird, it's a plane! Why, it must be a UFO, but it was:

Interplanet Janet, she's a galaxy girl,

A solar system Ms. from a future world,

She travels like a rocket with her comet team

And there's never been a planet Janet hasn't seen,

No, there's never been a planet Janet hasn't seen. Mars is red and Jupiter's big

And Saturn shows off its rings.

Uranus is built on a funny tilt

And Neptune is its twin,

And Pluto, little Pluto, is the farthest planet from the Sun. They say our solar system is not alone in space.

The Universe has endless mystery.

Some future astronaut

May find out that what he'd thought

Was a shooting star instead turned out to be... Interplanet Janet, she's a galaxy girl,

A solar system Ms. from a future world,

She travels like a rocket with her comet team

And there's never been a planet Janet hasn't seen,

No, there's never been a planet Janet hasn't seen. ~" Mac stepped in for the last line.

"Interplant Janet?" She questioned. Abi was sucking Jen's finger.

"I couldn't think of anything else. Sorry ma'am." Jen apologised.

"It's better than some of the things I've been singing to her. At least it's educational."

"I only remember parts of other songs. School House Rock I remember." Mac smiled.

"Me too. So is she okay now?"

"I still think she's hungry. I'm sorry I interrupted your meeting."

"You can make it up to me by reporting back here at 1000 tomorrow."

"Ma'am?" Jen questioned.

"I'm coming back to work tomorrow." Mac supplied.

"Ma'am, I thought you had another two weeks on your maternity leave."

"I do, but I can't sit around the house doing nothing anymore. I've cleared it with the Admiral, I'm only allowed to work 1000 to 1300 but it's something. I'm going to bring Abi with me because she can't go into day care for another two weeks."

"Yes ma'am. Ma'am can I ask you something?" Mac nodded. "What does Commander Rabb say about this?"

"He doesn't know yet. I need to do this for my sanity, Abi's going to be well taken care of, so he's just going to have to accept it. If that doesn't work I out rank him."

"Yes ma'am."

"So what's this about Mac coming back to work tomorrow?" Sturgis asked from Harm's office doorway.

"She's not she has two weeks of the maternity leave she wants to take left." Harm replied.

"Scuttlebutt says she is." Sturgis replied.

"Scuttlebutt is obviously wrong."

"I don't think so. She was in here to see the Admiral while you were in court. She had Coates watch Abigail in her office while she talked to him."

"She would have told me if she wanted to come back to work. Abi can't go to day care for another two weeks anyway."

"I'm sure Mac thought of something." Sturgis said.

"Coates." Harm called as he saw her past.

"Yes sir?" She asked.

"Is Mac coming back to work tomorrow?"

"Sir, it's not really my place to say." Jen said.

"Jennifer." He prompted.

"Yes sir, but only from 1000 to 1300." She tried to lighten the impact.

"Did she say what she's planning on doing with Abigail?"

"Yes sir." Jen replied. Harm waved a hand at her to carry on. "She's bring her with her sir. Commander if you want to know any more you should really talk to Colonel Mackenzie. If you'll excuse me I have some work that needs to be reassigned." Harm nodded so she could leave.

"Sounds like you and Mac need to talk." Sturgis said.

"I think you're right."
