"Uh huh." Mac groaned, it had been several weeks since the wedding and Jen
and Jason had returned from their honeymoon in Maui, Harm and Mac had
celebrated their anniversary with a quiet dinner while Bud and Harriet
babysat. Faith had started working at JAG and seemed to be fitting in well.
"What's up?" Harm asked as he came into the bedroom, he was holding Abi while Mac was getting ready. They got a system of Harm getting up first and getting Abi ready so Mac could have a few extra minutes in bed, then Mac would feed her while Harm got ready.
"The button popped off the back of my skirt." Mac replied.
"I'm sure you can sew it back on." Harm replied.
"I had a tough enough time doing it up as it is. I've put on more weight than when I was three months pregnant with Abi."
"Maybe it's because you're not having morning sickness?" Harm suggested. "Your body is retaining the extra calories as it would if you were."
"Harm, that really isn't very helpful." Mac said as she went to the closet and found another skirt. "Good thing I kept all my maternity uniforms."
"Umm. Maybe you can ask the doctor about it when you see her today." Harm suggested. "It's probably just normal pregnancy stuff."
"Probably."
"I really did want to come with you." Harm said. "But..."
"You're going to be stuck in court all day. I know. It's just a check up and they'll be plenty of other opportunities for you to come with me. It's okay." Mac did up the skirt and flattened it out over her stomach. "But if I end up like a beach whale you're getting lots of grief."
"When don't I?" He teased.
"Come here sweetheart." Mac took Abi from him. "I'm going to tell Jen today."
"Good, I still would have thought you would have told her weeks ago."
"There wasn't anything affecting how I was doing my job. So I just never got around to it. I'll tell her today and when we get home tonight we'll call Trish."
"You know she'll be ecstatic." Harm said as he slipped his undershirt on.
"Yes. Come Abi let's go and get some food Mommy's hungry."
"When aren't you?" Harm muttered as tradition.
"Jen, can you come into my office? There is something I need to talk to you about before we go to court."
"Yes ma'am." Jen followed her into the office.
"There's something I need to tell you. I should have told you a while ago, I was going to tell you when you got back from your honeymoon, but I just never got around to it."
"You're pregnant." Jen said.
"I'm pregnant." Mac just realised what Jen had said. "You knew?"
"Ma'am, you haven't had a cup of coffee in almost two months. You developed a taste for chips and dip. It's been obvious for a while."
"Why didn't you ask me outright?" Mac asked.
"But it was up to you to tell me. By the way congratulations."
"Thank you."
"How far along are you?" Jen asked.
"Three months, I have a doctor's appointment at 1215 so I'm going to recess from 1100 to 1500. If there is a problem and I'm not back by 1430."
"Tell them that there is a problem and you'll reconvene tomorrow at 0900." Jen replied.
"Yes. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner."
"Don't be ma'am. Would you like some ginger tea before court?" Jen offered.
"Thanks, but I'm okay for now."
"Yes ma'am."
