Mac's apartment
After they had made their announcement about being engaged, Harm and Mac told the Admiral that they were moving in together. Today, Harriet, Bud, Sturgis, and AJ were over to help move Mac's belongings to Harm's apartment.
Harm saw Mac lifting a box and ran over to help her.
"Mac! Let me carry that." Harm told her as he took the box from her.
"That's okay Harm. I've got it." Mac replied.
"No, I have it now. Besides, you shouldn't carry anything this heavy in your condition." Harm said as he winked at her.
'Now what did he mean by that?' Mac wondered

All the boxes had been unpacked and everyone was sitting around in the living room eating pizza.
"So Harm, what do you want to do for your birthday?" Mac asked him.
"Huh?" Harm asked confused.
"Your birthday? It is coming up on the 26th. The big 4-0? Any of that ring a bell?" Mac teased.
" Oh, uh…I don't know. What do you want to do?" He asked.
"Well, Harriet and I wanted to throw you a party!"
"No way! Turning 40 is not that big a deal!"
"Aww… Come on Harm! Please?" Harriet pleaded.
"No way Harriet!"
"Fine!" Mac said pretending to pout.
"Don't be mad Mac." Harm kissed her. "It's just that it is not that big of a deal."
"Okay I promise I will not throw you a party." Mac said.
"Good. I'll hold you to it!"

"Enter!" Mac said when she heard the knock on her office door.
"Hi Harriet. Close the door and have a seat." Mac said.
"Yes ma'am." Harriet said as she closed the door and sat down.
"So, is everything ready for tonight?" Mac asked.
"Everything is right on track and under control! So, what's going to be your cover story?"
"Well, I'm just going to say I'm taking him out to dinner and then before we leave, you can call me and say that little AJ needs to give Harm a present. Does that sound good?"
"It sounds perfect ma'am!"
"Good. We will be at your house around 1800."
"Okay ma'am."
"Thank you so much Harriet."

"Will you hurry up Harm? The reservations are for 1830." Mac said.
"Okay, okay! I'm coming! Jeez!" Harm said while he laughed.
The phone starts to ring.
"I'll get that!" Mac yelled.
"Mackenzie!…oh hi Harriet… Little AJ wants what? Oh okay. We will come over…Bye."
That was Harriet. Little AJ wants us to come over so he can give you a present. We can drive over there now before we go to the restaurant."

Harm drove up to Bud and Harriet's house.
"It looks kind of dark. Are you sure they are home?" Harm asked.
"Of course they are home! Now come on, let's go!" Mac replied.
They both climbed out of Harm's SUV and walked up to the door. Mac rang the doorbell and no one answered.
"Maybe we should just go inside." Mac said. She opened the door and walked in, Harm right behind her.
" Hello? Anybody home? Bud? Harriet? Where are you guys?" Harm asked.
Suddenly the lights flicked on and everyone jumped up and yelled.
"Surprise!" They all said.
"What's going on here?" Harm questioned.
"Well I hope you don not get mad, but everyone else and I wanted to throw you a party!" Mac said.
"Honey, of course I'm not mad! Actually, I kind of wanted a party!" Harm looked around and saw his colleagues in the living room. Bud, Harriet, Little AJ, Sturgis, the Admiral, Meredith, Bobbie, P.O. Coates, and P.O. Tiner had come to wish Harm a happy birthday and give him gifts. After talking and eating, everyone gave Harm the presents. He opened them all when he finally came to one from Mac. Harm opened the box and read the card. It said 'Happy Birthday Daddy.' He then looked in the box, at the present. It was a baby jumper that said 'Daddy's Little Sailor.'
"You're pregnant?" Harm asked Mac.
"Yes I- we are. I found out about a week and a half ago. I have just been wondering how to tell you!" Mac replied.
"Well you shouldn't have left that book on your coffee table the night I proposed to you!"
"You saw the book? Why didn't you tell me?"
"I just wanted to see how you would tell me!"
"Harmon Rabb Jr! Of all the things you have done! This-" Mac was cut off by Harm.
"-Is the cherry-topper!" He said, finishing her sentence, laughing. "Come here!" He grabbed Mac and kissed her. "I love you Sarah."
"I love you too Harm." They kissed again, but were interrupted by the Admiral clearing his throat.
Harm and Mac turned around to face everyone.
"Well, I guess we should make it official! Harm and I are expecting a baby!" Mac said.
"Congratulations!" Everyone yelled.
After about another hour of talking and celebrating, everyone started to go home.
"Thank you so much for the party Harriet and Bud. It was a lot of fun!"
"You are welcome Harm. And congratulations to the both of you!" Harriet said.
Good nights were exchanged and Harm and Mac went back to their apartment.
"Do you think we should look for a bigger apartment or even a house?" Mac asked when they got home.
"You know, I think that is a good idea. We could start looking this weekend." Harm said.
"Well this weekend we have an appointment to see if we can find out if this baby is going to be like his father and join the Navy or like her mother and join the Marines!

Harm and Mac were sitting in their living room discussing a when they should get married.
"How about some time in December?" Mac asked.
"December sounds good. What day?" Harm asked.
"Well I was thinking we could put all the days into a dish or a bowl, pick one from there and that would be the day."
"That sounds really good."
They wrote all the numbers on slips of paper and put them into a bowl.
"Alright Mac. Why don't you do the honors?" Harm asked.
"Okay." She picked up one of the papers. "And the lucky day is… December 6th."
"Well future Mrs. Rabb, we have one month and six days. You should take Harriet, Bobbie, and Meredith to look for dresses. Hey, we could fly Chloe down too. We should do it next weekend."
"That sounds really good. We better get going if we want to make our appointment."

"Now Ms. Mackenzie, I'm going to put this jelly on your stomach. It may be a bit cold." The doctor put the jelly on Mac's stomach and she jumped.
"Wow! That is cold!" Mac said.
"Now if you will look on the screen, I can show you your baby." The doctor pointed to the tiny object on the screen. "Are you interested in knowing the sex of the baby?"
"Yes, we are very interested!" Harm said eagerly.
"Well let's see if we can today." The doctor said. After a few minutes, the doctor finally spoke.
"Oh my! What do we have here?" The doctor asked.
"What's wrong?" Harm and Mac both asked alarmed.
"Nothing is wrong. Your babies are fine!" The doctor replied.
"Oh thank God! Wait did you say babies?" Mac asked. The doctor proceeded to nod.
Harm fainted and fell to the floor.
"Well he sure can fly F-14s to hell and back and eject from them numerous times, but he can't handle the news of twins!" Mac laughed. "So what are the sexes?"
"Well you seem to have two, healthy girls!"
"Oh my gosh! Two girls!" Mac squealed excitedly. She got off the table and leaned down to kiss Harm who was still out.
"Harm! Harm, wake up!" Mac patted his face and gave him another kiss. After that, Harm woke up.
"We are having twins?" He asked.
"Yes. We are having two healthy baby girls!" She laughed.
"Girls?" Harm asked.
"Yes." The doctor replied. "They are due at the end of May. Congratulations!"
Okay. Please read and respond!!!! It's what keeps me going!!!!
