Was searchin' for...
Electricity, electricity!
He knew that it had something To do with lightning It's all uh... Electricity, electricity!
Rubbin' a comb With wool or fur Will give you a charge of... Static... Electricity! Electricity, electricity!
Strokin' a cat To make it purr, You're buildin' up static Electricity! Electricity, electricity! # Mac sung bounced Abi and walked through the door.
"School House Rock ma'am?" Skates, who was sat on the couch asked.
"She's her father's daughter. She likes music and School House Rock which is her godmother's influence. Plus I think she's teething. It's good to see you again Skates."
"You too ma'am and congratulations."
"Thanks and it's Mac. Where's Harm?"
"He said something about needing tomatoes and left about ten minutes ago."
"What is he making exactly?" Mac inquired.
"I don't know, he said he was making dinner, so I felt it best not to ask." Skates replied.
"He's actually a really good cook. So Skates there's someone I'd like you to meet. Abigail Rose Rabb."
"Aren't you gorgeous sweetheart? She looks so much like Harm." Skates commented.
"She's definitely a Rabb. But then again I'd have had a hard time explaining it if she looked like the mailman." Skates smiled at Mac's joke.
"It would have been an interesting discussion to watch."
"Yeah. Skates, I need to ask a favour."
"Go ahead." Skates said.
"Keep an eye on him for me and make sure he doesn't do anything stupid."
"Mac since you got married he tries to be as by the book as possible, even more so since Abigail was born. But I'll keep an eye on him for you."
"Thank you." Abi giggled. "Do you want to go in your playpen little miss?" Harm and Mac had got Abi a playpen when she could sit up properly. It was a good place to put all her toys as well as the toy box when she wasn't using them. "There you go sweetheart." She handed her a toy, which Abi promptly bit. "Can you watch her for a few minutes while I go and change out my uniform?" Mac asked.
"Okay." Skates said. "Anything I should know?"
"You just have to makes sure she doesn't topple over backwards. She can roll over completely, she gets up on her knees to assume the position for crawling but she can't quite yet, but she does shuffle around on her diaper. And if she cries sing to her, it usually settles her."
"Got it."
"I'll just be a few minutes. Military uniforms are not the best thing to be wearing if you're pregnant."
"I'll take your word for that." Skates said.
"I'm back." Harm said coming through the door holding a paper bag.
"Abi was just showing me her ball." Skates said from the floor next to the playpen.
"She's very proud of it." Harm said. "Hey sweetheart, it's a very nice ball. Where's Mac?"
"She went to get change out her uniform."
"Actually I'm back." Mac said coming down the stairs.
"Hey." Harm said. "I got you something."
"What?" Mac asked. Harm took a punnet of strawberries out the bag and handed it to her. "Oh." She opened them.
"Don't eat them all before dinner or you'll ruin your appetite." Mac looked at him. "Sorry wrong person to say that to. So how was court this afternoon?" He asked.
"Sturgis suddenly change strategy. It was confusing at first, but I think he might be on to something."
"Oh really." Harm said winking at Skates.
"What do you know that I don't?" Mac asked.
"How to fly a plane." Harm replied smiling.
"Cute doesn't work with me Harm. What do you know about Sturgis's strategy?"
"Absolutely nothing, because if I'd revealed something that could have helped him, given the source of my information it would have been a conflict of interest." Harm replied.
"So you were talking to Jen and she mentioned a case she'd read that would be relevant without thinking about it. So you wouldn't get into a conflict of interest, you had Skates tell him." Mac surmised.
"I'm not saying anything." Harm said.
"Lt Commander?" Mac prompted.
"Yes ma'am. Is it going to cause a problem?"
"No. It just means that this court martial will go on all day tomorrow too, when otherwise it would have been finished this afternoon. We had to push some things back."
"I'm going to finish making dinner." Harm said.
"What are you making?" Mac asked.
"You'll have to wait and see, but there is plenty of strawberry yoghurt in the fridge."
"Good." Harm went into the kitchen. "So what case did Jen mention?"
"Something to do with a Petty Officer Dunne. It was Major Williams's case."
"Ah Faith." Mac said. "Have you met her?"
"Only for a couple of minutes. She seems nice."
"She's a good lawyer, a little untraditional in her methods sometimes, but she gives Harm a run for his money which is always good for him."
"Another female partner though, it's becoming a habit for him." Skates commented.
"He needs strong women, who can stand their own with him. It keeps his ego in check."
"Yes ma'am."
