"Hey Sailor." Mac said as she looked over her shoulder, she was sat on the
floor playing with Abi.
"Hey Marine." He dropped a kiss on her lips. "Hey sweetheart." He said to Abi.
"Have a nice day at the office dear?" Mac gently teased.
"If you call my client staging a brig break and being on the run for 97 minutes."
"Why did he run?" Mac asked.
"He wanted to see his kid because it's her birthday. Do you want to hear the real killer?" Harm said.
"What?"
"Faith was going to recommend against pre-trial confinement. He would have been out by this afternoon so he could have seen his daughter. But now he's back in the brig until a date for his court martial is set."
"Did you tell him about your little jail break experience?" Mac asked.
"Er... no." Harm said. He sat down on the floor beside Abi. "How did your day go?"
"I had lunch with Harriet and Meg said to say hi."
"You spoke to Meg?" Harm questioned.
"Only for a couple minutes after spend twenty minutes on the phone trying to get through to her." Mac replied. "She mainly spoke to Jen."
"Why did you call her?" Harm asked.
"A little project I'm working on."
"What kind of a project?" Harm questioned.
"That's need to know Commander and you don't need to know. But I do need to use the bathroom. I'll be back soon." Mac got to her feet and started up the stairs, she paused a second watching Harm with Abi before carrying on.
"Shall we build a tower?" Harm asked Abi as he picked up the fabric bricks and stacked them up. Abi knocked the tower down. "Okay so you didn't want a tower. How about something else?" Harm tried building something else but Abi knocked it down. "So no blocks. Okay Daddy will put them away." Harm picked up the blocks and carried them over to the put them in the toy box. When he turned back to check on her she wasn't where he had left. He glanced at the path between where he was and where Abi had been and Abi was crawling backwards towards him. "Hey Mac."
"What?" Mac came out the bathroom and down the stairs.
"I think she got Marine genes in there." He nodded to where Abi was still crawling backwards.
"No I think doing things the wrong way round is a Navy trait."
"How about we agree to disagree on that?" Harm asked.
"You were the one who insisted on crawling backwards until about a week before you learnt to walk." Mac said.
"What?"
"I talked to Grams. She told me you always crawled backwards. So I was kind of expecting this."
"We're going to have to keep a better eye on her." Harm said.
"That's why play pens are useful. You catch her and I'll go and find her some dinner."
"Deal."

After getting ready for bed Mac stood in front of mirror and lifted the bottom of her top up and looked at her stomach. She already was gaining weight and had a slight bump. She rubbed a hand across her stomach.
Harm watched her from the doorway and smiled. Mac glanced over at him.
"Hey." She said gently.
"Hey." He came over and wrapped his arms around her. "What are you thinking?"
"I'm just wondering how big I'm actually going to get."
"As big as the space two babies need." Harm said and dropped a kiss on her shoulder.
"You know this would really be one of those times for the fake compliments about me looking even more beautiful when I'm the size of a house."
"You will do. But then again I have always thought you were beautiful." He got this smug look on his face.
"Oh no you don't." Mac said.
"What?" Harm asked.
"Get that look what I did kind of a look." Mac turned around to face him. "And by the way I made an executive decision. Three is enough."
"Sure you don't want to try for a baseball team?"
"No way."
"Basketball team?"
"No. Three is enough." Mac said.
"But that doesn't mean we can't practice, just in case you change your mind."
"No it doesn't does it." Mac smiled and Harm stepped towards her and kissed her.
