Harm got out of his car just in time to see Mac pull in next to him. He had gone back to his own place early this morning to get a fresh uniform. He smiled as she got out of her car.
"Good morning, Colonel"
"Good morning, Commander. How was your weekend?"
"Oh, it was okay."
She came up beside him and smacked him with her briefcase.
"Just okay, huh?" They both laughed heartily. The weekend had been amazing. They had spent most of Saturday in bed, talking about the past and especially the future. Where they wanted to live, wedding plans and baby names. On Sunday they had gone running and afterwards Harm had made pancakes. It was as if all the awkwardness and tension and misunderstandings between them had simply vanished and now they understood each other one a whole new level.

From the window in his office AJ Chegwidden watched the little exchange between his two top lawyers. 'Oh boy', he thought to himself. Then he buzzed his intercom, reaching Tiner, but he decided to give them the benefit of the doubt – trust that they would come to him.
"Yes, Sir?"
"Never mind, Timer."
He sat down in his chair and smiled. This was going to be interesting.

Harm came out of court whistling. He had just successfully defended a petty officer on a desertion charge. Heading for Mac's office he stopped dead in his tracks as he saw who she was talking to. He quickly turned and ducked, retreating to his office.
From the little crack in the blinds, he saw Mac smile and point towards his office and a few seconds later he was face to face with Renee Peterson.

Mac could hardly contain her bubbling laughter when 10 minutes later Harm was standing in her doorway. He entered and closed the door. Drawing the blinds shut, he walked over to her.
"Funny, Marine. Real cute."
Mac burst out laughing. In one swift motion Harm scooped her up and traded places, so she was in his lap. She stopped laughing when their lips met for a gentle kiss. They rested their foreheads together.
"We have to talk to the Admiral."
"Mmhm.." Harm murmured. "But not today. Tomorrow, okay?" Mac nodded.

Harm sighed and extracted himself from under her.
"I gotta go to Norfolk. I might be late. How about I come over to your place when I'm done?"
"Sounds good" Mac stood and followed him to the door. Harm placed a loving hand on her stomach and kissed her.
"I love you. What time is the scan tomorrow?"
"1300."
"Got it." He flashed her a brilliant smile. "See you tonight."

Mac sat down behind her desk again. She leaned back in her chair and lovingly rubbed her growing tummy with a content smile. Little did she know that Harm wouldn't make it home tonight.
