FUNAV-CHICK: "Trey" is a form of three, and Harm is Harmon Rabb Jr, so his son is Harmon Rabb III, which has been translated to Trey; my brother has this nickname. Most people use David as Harm's middle name because David James Elliott plays him.

Mac's POV
"Why are we here again?" I asked as we stepped onto the elevator. Harm carried our daughter in her carrier in one hand and Trey in his other arm.
"I told you the Admiral asked to see us; plus don't you think it's time we let every one else in on this little one's name?" He asked glancing down to the one month old who was snuggly wrapped in a pink blanket.
"It's not my fault we haven't really been in contact, you're the one that decided to take the time off," I replied pointedly.
"Yes but didn't you enjoy spending time with Grams, plus I know Trey loved our trip to the beach, didn't you buddy?" he asked bouncing the toddler.
"Yesh," he replied quite firmly reminding me more and more of his father.
"I did enjoy both of our trips and I'm glad that everyone got to see the newest member of the family," I replied just as the doors opened to the hallway in front of the bullpen.
"Sir, Ma'am it's great to see you," Harriet greeted as soon as we stepped through the doorway to the bullpen.
"Why exactly are you in uniform Ma'am?" Bud asked having stopped when he spotted us.
"That's something you'd have to ask Commander Stubborn over here," I motioned to Harm.
"Oh good you're all here," the Admiral took the carrier right out of Harm's arms. "I'm still waiting on a name."
"Yes sir," Harm and I responded together, "Trey you want to tell everyone who this is?" Harm asked stepping next to the Admiral who had taken the baby from her carrier.
"Cawly," he smiled proudly leaning forward from his father's arms to put a kiss on her head.
"Carly, what a beautiful name," Harriet crooned trying to get a good look at the baby. "What about a middle name?"
"That's actually her middle name," Harm smiled, "Her full name is Patricia Carly Rabb."
"That really is a beautiful name you two," the Admiral handed her to Harriet who was all too pleased to accept the baby. "Now for the reason you're all here. Commander Rabb, front and center!"
I was shocked as Harm gave me a large grin and then handed Trey to me coming to attention in front of the Admiral, as the rest of the bullpen came to attention as well. He took his oath and then the Admiral pulled out Harm's eagles and handed them to me. I stepped forward smiling as Bud reached in to take Trey and I pinned the new rank on Harm. I reached up to kiss him; being interrupted mere inches from his lips, "Cheek Colonel." I reached for Trey only to be interrupted once again, "Front and center Colonel."
I glanced disbelievingly at Harm, who just gave me a large smile, I took my own oath trying to contain my tears when the Admiral handed the insignia to Trey who, with Harm's help pinned them on my collar. Trey placed a sloppy kiss on my cheek that only a mother could stand and then grinned at Harm, "You did good buddy?"
"And last but not least Lt. Roberts, front and center," the Admiral announced one more time. Harm handed Trey to me and accepted Carly from Harriet as Bud took his oath and then stepped up to help Bud with his insignia.
"Now I know that wetting downs are usually held at McMurphy's but due to the growing families everyone is invited to our home tonight to celebrate," Harriet announced as the bullpen erupted into applause causing the sleeping bundle in Harm's arms to awaken.
