A/N: Everything in all capitals is written.
"Jen." Mac said walking up to her desk.
"Colonel. I didn't think you were coming back today."
"I need to talk to Harm about something. Can you watch Abi for a while?"
"Of course. Come here sweetheart." She held out her arms and took Abi.
"I'll be in my office for a few minutes then I'll head over and see Harm."
"Yes ma'am. Is everything okay ma'am?"
"Yes." Mac said after a second.
"Harm, I need to talk to you." Mac said standing in her husband's office doorway.
"Oh hi. I thought you were going to Bethesda and then heading home."
"That was the plan, but plans have a way of not turning out like you expected." Mac closed the door.
"Is everything okay?" Harm asked. "Is Abi okay?"
"Abi is happy, healthy and perfect and playing in my office with her Auntie Jen." She paused. "I'm not sure how to say this. So I made notes."
"Say what? What's wrong? I thought you were taking Abi to get her check up and you were going to talk to your doctor about the contraceptive shot."
'YOU SEE THAT'S THE THING' He read from the sketch pad Mac had written on.
"What's the thing?" Harm questioned.
'I DIDN'T GET THE SHOT.'
"Why not?" Harm asked.
'IT'S TOO LATE.'
"To late for what?"
'FOR THE SHOT.'
"What?" Harm was slightly confused.
'TURNS OUT OUR FAMILY PLANNING SUCKS!'
"Mac, I'm confused what's going on?"
'I'M PREGNANT.'
"What?" He exclaimed. Mac ran her finger under the previous message, before flipping it.
'DR SAYS A COUPLE OF WEEKS.'
Harm was just about to say something when there was a knock at the door.
"Not now." He called. There was another knock. "I said not now."
"Sorry sir." Tiner said entering. "But the Admiral wants to see you in his office right now. Ma'am." He said acknowledging Mac.
"Tell him I need ten minutes."
"Sir, he seemed pretty adamant about it being now."
"I said ten minutes Tiner." Harm snapped.
"Tiner, tell the Admiral he'll be there in a few minutes. We just need to finish talking about something." Mac said calmly.
"He won't like it ma'am, but I'll tell him."
"Thank you Tiner." Mac closed the door behind him.
"You're pregnant?" Harm questioned.
"I had them run the test twice before I believed it. I saw my OB she confirmed it as well. We're looking at sometime time in February."
"I thought we were being careful because we decided to wait. You were on the pill."
"Contraceptive is never one hundred percent effective. And that was the plan but it seems fate had a different plan." Mac sat down.
"How are you doing with this?" Harm asked.
"I don't think it's sunk in yet."
"Commander, when I say now I mean..." Harm and Mac jumped to their feet as the Admiral barged in to Harm's office.
"Admiral it's my fault. There was something important that I need to discuss with the Commander." Mac interceded.
"That's beside the point Colonel, but I hope is everything is alright." Mac flipped over the pad. " 'I'm pregnant'." AJ read. "Congratulations. Now Commander..." he paused and turned back to look at Mac. "Excuse me?"
"That was pretty much my reaction when I found out sir." Mac said.
"I take it that this wasn't planned."
"No sir." Harm replied. "I'm sorry sir, but..."
"Take thirty minutes and talk about it. Come and find me after that." AJ instructed.
"Yes sir, thank you." Harm said.
"Sir, there's no need. We can talk about this later. I've got the afternoon off so I should get Abi home."
"Mac." Harm said.
"It's okay. We have plenty of time to talk about this. If you'll excuse me sir." AJ nodded. Mac left.
"Are you alright Commander?" AJ asked.
"A little shell shocked sir. We decided to wait a couple of years before we even thought about more kids. Would you mind if I took a minute?"
"Take five. I'll be in my office."
"Yes sir."
