It had been a week since the strange talk in the Admiral's office and things hadn't slowed down since then. Harm was still up into his nose in cases while Mac was ordered not to walk with her ankle and foot.

While Harm thought about it, he hadn't been able to count on Jen or Harriet to do things for him. He was totally on his own since Bud and Vukovic were out on investigation. They were both busy with an assignment the Admiral had given them.

Rising, Harm decided to see if he could get Mac anything and walked over to her office. Her swollen foot lay on a chair and she was trying to get as comfy as possible in her position.

'Hey Ninja-girl' he greeted her with a smile.

Mac looked up. 'Hey yourself sailor'.

'How's your foot?' he asked leaning against her doorway.

She shrugged. 'It's still hurting. But that's what the doctor said it would, right?'

He nodded. 'Sorry. I really didn't think you'd sprained it or I would've got you to a doctor right away'.

'It's all right'. She sighed. 'Tell me you got some good news on the O'Connell case?'

Harm nodded and started an expanded argument about the case. Mac was glad she could focus on the case instead of on her foot and ankle. Badly sprained. All she did was fall down the stairs for heaven's sake!

'Anyway, I was on my way to the break room. Can I get you anything?' Harm said after they'd discussed the case.

Mac looked around. 'Coffee and the piece of chocolate cake we brought?'

Harm was picking her up at her place every day since she wasn't able to drive. He did the grocery shopping, the cleaning, the cooking… He did practically everything. Mac was so glad that they were working on repairing their friendship as well. He would've been there but their conversations would've strained at some point. Now they didn't. Especially not with Mattie around. God, the girl could talk 24/7 if you didn't stop her.

'Sure. Be right back'.

As Harm left her office, Jen and Harriet moved into position for the next phase of the plan. Harriet followed Harm to the break room and Jen moved into Mac's office.

'Colonel? Could you help me out? I have no idea where to go. Thing is that I've saved some money, and now I'm able to go someplace nice you know. Plan to make it a nice time'.

Mac nodded. 'Who're you taking?'

'My boyfriend' Jen shyly added. If Mac only knew.

'Wow'. She was obviously impressed by that. 'Romantic huh? You can't choose location?'

Jen showed her some travel brochures. 'It's either Mexico, Jamaica or Virgin Islands'.

The look on Mac's face changed. 'Mexico, Jamaica or Virgin Islands? Hell of a pick Jen'.

'I know ma'am. I don't know which one to take and neither does Vic'.

'All right'. Mac studied the brochures; not giving the name Jen just mentioned much attention. 'Do you want to go all the way beach vacation or do you want to see something of the culture?'

Jen pretended to be thinking. 'What would you do ma'am?'

'If it were me and my boyfriend out there Jen?' Mac asked.

'Yes ma'am'.

Mac shrugged. 'Honestly, I would go for the romantic ánd culture thing. But then again, it's my boyfriend…' She hesitated. 'How deeply in love are you guys?'

'Very' Jen hurriedly said. She smiled. 'Really. It's hard to focus whenever I know he's fixing dinner or that he'll come to pick me up… You know what it's like ma'am'.

And if Mac knew. The day didn't seem to go fast enough so she could go home with Harm, pick Mattie up and enjoy the evening. 'I know. So that's why you've been glowing over the past week. How long has it been going on?'

'Not that long ma'am. Romantically speaking then. We've been friends for a while'. Jen was trying to keep her face straight. But she had to push the issue now. 'Do you know the feeling that whenever he touches you your skin just starts to tickle? You melt when he flashes that dazzling smile in your direction… He's great with kids and you just can't help but have visions of how's he gonna be with yours…'

Mac stared in the distance, relating to everything Jen just summed up. 'He's just standing in your kitchen, prepping dinner and when he turns around, he winks and smiles and you just know in an instant that no matter how crappy your day was, he just made the world look brighter…'

Colonel, you've got it bad, Jen couldn't help but think. Not that she said it out loud. The Admiral would restrict her for doing that. Throw her in Leavenworth on water and bread for weeks.

Mac shook her head. 'Sorry'. She looked at the brochures again. 'Virgin Islands Jen. If it were me…'

Jen nodded and gathered the brochures. 'Thanks a lot Colonel. You helped me out a lot'.

'You're welcome Jen'. She turned back to her file. It was obvious Jen was in love. This Vic guy had to be special. Especially if they were going on holiday together.

Unbeknownst to Mac, Harriet was firing the same questions at Harm. She walked into the break room, nose down in the travel brochures for the three exact same locations. And she bumped into Harm. 'I'm sorry sir. I didn't…'

'It's all right Harriet. What's that?' He looked over her shoulder to the brochures. 'Mexico, Jamaica, Virgin Islands? Taking a second honeymoon with Bud?'

'We're thinking about that sir' Harriet said. 'But we just don't know which location to pick'.

Harm filled the filter of the coffeepot with coffee. The Lieutenant saw he was making Marine coffee, just the way Mac did. 'It's a hell of a pick Harriet. Either one of them is good for a romantic holiday'.

Harriet leaned against the counter. 'Which one would you take sir?'

'For my honeymoon you mean?' He opened the fridge. 'It depends who I'm taking you know'.

'Your wife sir. Mistresses aren't allowed on honeymoons'.

Harm laughed. 'I suppose'. He thought. 'Well, if she wants to see the culture, Mexico would be like perfect. Jamaica is good if you want an all relax week or two and the Virgin Islands… Virgin Islands are just perfect if you want to spend the whole time love making on your private beach, or in your cabin, or in the exclusive pool…'

Harriet knew the distant look in his eyes way to well. He was thinking about Mac again. 'Well, the kids are staying here of course' she mumbled.

Her words shook Harm out of his mesmerized state. 'Well, if you want my advice Harriet, go for it. Take the Virgin Islands'.

'I think we'll do that sir. Thanks a lot'. She smiled at him and joined Jen in the bullpen. They looked at each other.

'Virgin Islands'.

AJ called for Jen the next week. 'How are the preps coming Jen?'

Jen looked down at her list. 'We talked them into a location for the honeymoon sir. That was the easiest part. Let the two of them pick between Mexico, Jamaica or the Virgin Islands, tell them it's for a romantic get-away with your boyfriend and they'll give you a speech about how special the love of your life makes you feel'.

AJ started to laugh. 'You did fill Ms. Grace in about the plan didn't you?'

'Mattie knows everything about my "boyfriend" sir, she knows what and what not to tell them. Anyway, the church is booked, we've informed Chaplain Turner of the plan and he was more then willing to cooperate with us. There is only one thing sir…' her voice trailed off.

'Something wrong Petty Officer?' AJ was all concern. Their plan had to work out. It was one of the last things he would do as the JAG and it just had to work out.

'Well, how are we going to get the Commanders dress whites sir? They're all in his apartment, which isn't the biggest problem but how are we going to get one out to get it cleaned sir?'

'Who ever said you had to get it cleaned? We'll send him to a tailor and have one made'.

'What about the ribbons and medals sir? He has two DFC's'.

'I'll inform the man of that. I'm sure Ms. Grace will be so kind to get us a pair of wings?'

Jen smiled. 'That won't be a problem sir'. She scrabbled something on the paper. 'Harriet said that it would be best if we kept the flowers of the wedding in the theme they met. Roses. Is that good?'

AJ leaned back in his chair. 'They met in the White House Rose Garden Jen. Color?'

'Cream, white, red and pink'.

'Colonel's flowers?' AJ asked.

'Combination of the four sir. I have a picture here of what Harriet picked. I have to say she has a nose for it sir'.

He took he picture out of her hand. 'Dress?'

Jen took a deep breath. 'We're working on that sir. The Colonel can wear practically everything; we're having a hard time finding something. Men are so much easier to dress then women. It is for the most beautiful day of her life sir'.

AJ rose and started to pace around his office. 'Best man?'

'Lt. Commander Roberts'.

'Maid of honor?'

'Lt. Simms'.

AJ looked up, smiling. 'Perfect Petty Officer'.

'They are little AJ's godparents sir. That's why we made little AJ ring carrier. Rings are picked sir. Custom made. Here's the drawing'. She handed him another piece of paper. 'Caterer has been taking care of. What about the cake sir?'

'What about the cake Jen?'

'Something special?' Neither she nor Harriet knew what to do with the cake. 'We don't have a picture that is good enough to use so we have to come up with something else. Any idea's?'

'Where is Harriet?'

Jen was startled by that question. 'Bullpen sir'.

'Go get her for me, would you Jen?' AJ looked at her.

She nodded. 'Yes sir'. She left the office to come back with Harriet two minutes later. Harriet looked at surprised as Jen did.

'You wanted to see us sir?'

AJ mentioned to the two seats. 'Sit down. I hear that there is a little problem with the cake?'

Harriet took a deep breath. 'We don't have a picture that is good enough to use for the cake sir, so that is not an option. We're a bit in the dark here sir'.

'You two thought about the nicknames?'

They frowned at him. 'The nicknames sir?'

AJ nodded. 'You know. What does the Colonel call him? Flyboy?'

'Flyboy and Ninja-girl sir' Jen said. 'But that's just two of the million really'. She was still standing and Harriet and AJ turned around to her.

'Two of the million?'

Jen shrugged. 'She calls him all kinds of things sir. Flyboy, Stickboy, squid, sailor and Navy. Just as well he calls her Ninja-girl, Tiger, jarhead and Marine'.

That put things in a different light. AJ rubbed over his head. 'Right'.

All three of them were quiet. No one had thought that picking out a cake would be so hard.

'What about "Sarah"?' Harriet spoke up.

'You want the Colonel's first name on that cake?'

Harriet shook her head. 'Sarah the plane sir. It represents the Commander and the Colonel at the same time'.

'Yeah, but who has a mini "Sarah" that we can borrow?' Jen brought them back to sense. 'Or a picture with the two of them with "Sarah"?'

'The Commander has a replica of "Sarah" in his office'. Harriet bit her lip. Then she snapped with her fingers. 'I think I have the perfect picture. Bud once snapped a photo of them when he had to pick them up. They were at the airfield then'.

AJ nodded. 'Find it Lieutenant'. He walked back to his desk. 'What about the invitations? His parents and grandmother have been informed?'

'We're working on that sir' Jen said. 'Does the Colonel have any family we don't know about? The only one we could think of was Colonel O'Hara'.

'Her mother is still alive' AJ softly acknowledged. 'But they haven't talked for years'.

The look on Harriet's face was thoughtful. 'Do you think it should be wise to invite her sir? Especially if they haven't talked for years?'

He shrugged. 'Let me think about that okay? And send Colonel O'Hara an invitation. And a note that he will be there for his nieces wedding'.

'Aye sir. Anything else?'

AJ shook his head. 'No, I think that this covers it for now. Keep me informed. Dismissed'.

Jen and Harriet stood at attention and left the office.

'Oh Harriet,' AJ called her back, 'take care of that dress as soon as possible. She has to fit in it you know'.

Harriet smiled. 'Don't worry too much about that sir. We'll find something'. She softly closed the door behind her. 'My place tonight and bring every single catalogue we ordered'.

You all know what to do!
