Harm walked into Macs office, frowning. 'Ready to go Ninja-girl?'

Mac closed her briefcase and looked confused at him. 'Something bothering you?'

'Any clue on what it is with Jen lately? She seems to be going out a lot these days'.

Mac laughed at his face. 'She's spending time with her boyfriend Harm. She's in love'.

He arched an eyebrow. 'Jen? In love? Is that why she's been glowing?' He took her briefcase and helped her stand up.

She took the crutches and they started to walk out of the bullpen. One step at a time. 'Well, they are going on a holiday together. Mattie said that she's in love right? And Mattie lives with her'.

Harm nodded. 'I guess'.

'Harm, snap out of complete dad-mode will you? Jen is old enough to know what she's doing'.

He let his breath out. 'Did she talk to you about it? Do you know anything?'

Mac shook her head and stepped out of the elevator. 'Only that his name is Vic'.

'Vic huh?' Harm pondered about the name for a while and Mac knew better than to ask him about it. They made it to the car in compatible silence. 'She's not talking about Vukovic is she?'

Her head snapped up. 'What do you mean, she's not talking about Vukovic? What does Vukovic have to do with this?'

Harm sighed. 'Vukovic tell everyone to call him Vic Mac'. He opened the door and helped her to sit down.

'I think that Jen is a smarter woman than to go for Vic. Besides, Vic can be short for Victor just as well as it can be short for Vukovic'. She looked up to Harms worried face. 'Sailor, she'll be fine. The only thing she'll want you to do is walk her down the aisle to the guy of her dreams. When the time is right'.

He nodded, still not convinced, but put at ease for the moment. 'All right. She'll come to us if she wants us to meet him right?'

'I'm positive'. She squeezed his hand. 'Let's go pick Mattie up and stop worrying. You can ask Mattie about it, but I doubt that she knows more'.

Unbeknownst to them, the other JAG officers were looking at them from Bud's office. Jen smiled at Harriet. 'Are you sure September 16th isn't too late?'

'Are you kidding me? After the nine years they've waited, they can wait till September 16th. At this point it doesn't matter when they get married, as long as they do'.

Jen could only agree to that. She turned around and went in search for Vukovic. 'Vic? You got a minute?'

Vic put his file down and smiled up to her. 'I have all the time in the world for you babe. What's up?'

Jen rolled her eyes. 'I need a favor'.

'I'm all ears'.

'Good'. Jen sat down on the edge of his desk. 'The Admiral ordered me and Harriet to arrange the Commander and Colonels wedding. He's going to order them to get married, but they don't know anything about it. So, Harriet is the maid of honor, Bud is the best man and we have three other bridesmaids. Would you mind walking me down the aisle on their wedding day?'

He stared at her for a slight moment. 'He's ordering them to get married? What about the pool?'

'Became invalid the minute he decided to order them'.

Vic couldn't hold his laugh. 'I love to see the Commanders face when he sees her walking down the aisle. Who's giving her away?'

'The Admiral. She asked him when she was going to get married the first time but that didn't happen because the Commander ended up in the Atlantic Ocean and her fiancé realized that he would always come second place'.

'There really is a story behind the two of them isn't there?' He tapped his pen on his desk.

'More then you and I will ever know' Jen said. 'So you'll do it?'

He winked. 'It will be my honor to walk you down the aisle Miss Coates'.

'It better be. I think they both expect that you're my boyfriend'.

The look on Vic's face was priceless. His mouth hung open, his eyes wide spread. Jen smiled. 'Close your mouth Vic. You're not trying to catch flies are you?'

He shook his head. 'Why are they thinking that?'

Jen casually shrugged and smiled. 'I told them my boyfriends name was Vic, which can be interpreted two ways. It's either you or a guy who's name is Victor'. She ruffled her hand through his hair. 'You don't mind, do you?'

Vic took her hand in his. 'I would be the last person to mind you naming me your boyfriend Jen'.

'It's settled then?' She tilted her head to the side, a movement she made whenever she wanted to be sure of something.

The answer she received was assuring. 'It's settled'.

Madame Nana's

Mac stepped out of the car, followed by Harm and Harriet. It was six months before the wedding and today would be the first time Mac would fit her wedding dress. Harm was ordered to go the tailor for a new pair of dress whites. He and Mac were ordered to attend a fashion show and they got to be the bride and groom, the event of the day.

Harm had protested that the dress whites he had were fine, but the Admiral insisted that he'd get a new one. Harm had been confused but decided it didn't hurt to get an extra pair so he just went on with it. And now they were on for a fashion show as the couple who had a military wedding!

Jen and Mattie, who was on break, were waiting in front of the shop. Mac was wondering why the Admiral would order her to go fitting a few dresses. Apparently, she needed to feel comfortable in it. She didn't know that she would pick out her own wedding dress today. Jen, Harriet and Mattie had narrowed the amount of dresses down to five already, and Mac had to make her own choice now.

Harm went to the tailors next door, leaving the ladies to go fitting. The four of them were cheerfully greeted by Madame Nana herself, who knew about the plan.

'Harriet! How are you darling?'

Harriet hugged the older lady and introduced Mac to her after she went to greet Mattie and Jen. Mac shook her hand.

'You must be Sarah' Madame Nana said. 'It's nice to meet you darling. Harriet told me about the occasion so I've put it down to five dresses. I'm confident there will be something you'll like'.

Mac just let the woman lead her to a dressing room and Madame Nana handed her the first dress. When coming out, the other four women gasped for air. She was looking beautiful in her white, off-shoulder dress.

Mac had to agree with them, but she wasn't happy. She was standing there, looking in the mirror, feeling as if she'd just gone back three years in time and was doing the last fitting before she would marry Mic Brumby. Harriet saw it and touched her shoulder.

'Try the next one' she softly said.

The usually so strong Marine Colonel turned around to her best friend and simply nodded, grateful Harriet understood. The dress was not going to remind her of that time in her life.

The other three dresses weren't what Mac wanted either. She had to agree that they all looked gorgeous, they really did, but she didn't feel right in them. Madame Nana saw it and excused herself to get another dress that would probably be right for this lady.

Mac had to call Mattie in to help her with getting in the dress, but once stepping out, Mac knew this was the one. Jen, Harriet, Mattie and Madame Nana looked at her and had trouble holding their tears back. She looked stunning.

It was a cappuccino colored, strapless dress, made out of satin, silk and lace. The bodice of the dress was covered in open-worked lace and the long skirt was made of cappuccino colored satin. It hugged her figure perfect. But what was special about the dress, was the long sleeved coat over it, made of the open-worked lace of the bodice.

Mac smiled at her reflection in the mirror. This would be it. This was the dress. She turned around to Madame Nana. 'This is it ma'am. It really is'.

Madame Nana nodded and handed her a pair of shoes. 'Try these darling. You're not wearing your working shoes at that event'.

All smiled and Mattie softly squeezed Jen's hand. They'd all known that Mac would go for this dress. It was what they'd aimed for. Harm would be wearing his dress whites, and they would make a very handsome looking couple.

Harriet tilted her head to the side and rose. 'Pin your hair up like that, with a few loose strands and cream colored little roses in it? You'll look stunning'.

'As if it's possible for her to look more stunning Harriet' Mattie said. 'Once she'll walk in with Dad on her arm, every single man will envy him. And so will every woman envy her for being with him that day'.

Mattie had been over that line over and over again, but she was so eager to say it that she almost stumbled over the lines again. Mac smiled.

'Pearl earrings?' Jen suggested. 'Long ones?'

Madame Nana nodded and went to get a pair of drop shaped earrings. But when she came back, she had a slim golden necklace in her hand, with a pair of matching earrings. 'This will probably be better for the color'.

An hour later, Macs outfit was totally put together. She didn't understand what the hassle was about, but she let them, enjoying the moment. They found Harm leaning against the hood of his SUV, arms crossed in front of his chest.

'You girls took your time'.

Mac felt so confident that very moment, that she shot him a dazzling smile. 'You have to wait and see Flyboy. Maybe that I'll take your breath away'.

Harms smile widened at that comment. 'You don't need a lovely, carefully put together outfit to take my breath away Ninja-girl'.

Harriet, Jen and Mattie grinned at each other. Things would somehow work out between now and six months. They were sure. They simply had to.
