A/N Ff.net keeps deleteing the squiggle i use to signal a change of scene so i'm changing to something else now.

"Colonel, I have a cancelled appointment, since you're early why don't you come in now?" Dr O'Brien suggested.

"Thank you." Mac entered the office and sat down in the chair.

"So how have you been feeling? Any morning sickness, dizziness?"

"A bit of nausea, nothing else." Mac replied.

"Why don't you slip your jacket off and we'll take your blood pressure? Dr O'Brien suggested. Mac did as she was asked. "So where's Harm?"

"He's in court today, since we haven't really told anyone yet he couldn't get out of it. I'm in the middle of a court martial right now; I had to recess it for a few hours to come here."

"Then we won't keep you very long." The doctor smiled. "Your blood pressure is fine. Any other problems or concerns?"

"I've put on more weight at this stage than I did when I was pregnant with Abi; I bust the button on my skirt this morning." Mac replied.

"Since you're here well do a quick sonogram, check everything is okay and see if we can get you a more accurate date than late February."

"Only if I can get pictures, Harm's going to hate missing that."

"Of course."

A few minutes later they had the sonogram set up.

"I think I've found the reason for the extra weight gain Colonel."

"Hey Ninja girl." Harm said as he saw Mac as he got back to his office she was writing him a note.

"Harm." She said jumping slightly. "I thought you were in court."

"Half hour recess, Kelfman got an urgent phone call she had to take. So how did it go?"

"Good. I was leaving you a note and a couple of things." She held out a gift bag to him.

"You bought me a gift." He sat down. He opened the bag and pulled out a name book. "I thought we'd already settled on Jacob and Calleigh."

"We need to pick more." Mac replied.

"Why did you change your mind?" Harm questioned.

"No we just need to pick more. Dr O'Brien found out the reason for me putting on the extra weight."

"So it's not that you're not having morning sickness?" He questioned.

"No. She did a sonogram; I'm due February 20th by the way."

"That's not explaining the extra names." Mac handed him the sonogram picture.

"I was going to leave you this too."

"I was never good at picking out babies from scans this early."

"Well as it turns out we're getting two for the price of one it should be easier."

"What?"

"This is baby one, and that's baby two." Mac pointed out on the scan picture.

"Two? Twins?" Harm spluttered.

"Yes."

"Wow."

"Yeah, I'd stay and we could talk about this but I'm due back in court in a few minutes, everything is fine, everyone is fine and if you want to tell people go ahead. But I've got to go."

"Okay." Harm was still a little stunned.

"We'll talk at home."

"Harm, do you think we could discuss a deal before we go back to court?" Sturgis ask. Harm was staring at the scan photo. "Harm." Sturgis walked in further to the office. "Harm." He said slightly stronger.

"What?" Harm said. "Sorry Sturgis, did you say something?

"I want to discuss a deal, what are you looking at?" Harm handed him the photo. "Couldn't you find a better picture of Abi? One with her in maybe?"

"Read the date." Harm suggested.

"That's today. Mac's pregnant again?"

"Yeah, three months."

"Congratulations." Sturgis said. "When did you find out?"

"Two months ago." Harm replied.

"Why were you staring into space at the scan photo?"

"She went to see the doctor earlier, since we were in court I couldn't go with her. She was concerned she put on a little too much weight so far, turns out it twins."

"Wow, twins."

"Yeah. So a deal?"

"Yes... I was hoping we could hammer something out."

"I'm open to offers."
