On queue Harm headed for the bath and threw up breakfast. Mac couldn't understand it. They both ate the same breakfast so why couldn't Harm keep his down? What worried her more was that the doctors could find nothing wrong! This had been going on for a month now with no end in sight.

Harm returned. "Your fault this time." He accused.

"I know ... sorry," She conceded. "Next time you refuse breakfast I won't make a case. You ok?"

"Uh huh" He looked miserable and Mac felt sorry for him.

JAG HQ/KITCHENETTE

"I see congrats are in order Colonel." AJ stirred his coffee.

"Sir?" Mac was at a loss.

"The baby" He replied.

"I don't know who's been spreading rumours sir, but I'm not pregnant." She assured him.

"OK if you say so." AJ didn't sound convinced as he walked out.

Mac stood alone and contemplated the conversation. [I don't feel ...pregnant] she thought. [I'm not sick... but Harm is.] A little voice said. [I'm not craving ... but Harm is.] She smiled. [I'm not gaining weight ... but Harm is.] The smile turned into a grin. [I'm not sensitive to a touch ... but Harm is! Oh this is too funny.]

She headed out of the kitchenette to the elevator. She needed a home pregnancy kit and fast!

JAG HQ/LADIES ROOM

Mac let her mind roam as her internal clock timed the test. It was ridiculous that she was pregnant and Harm was the one with the symptoms!

Time up.

She checked and sure enough there it was for the world to see - positive. The Rabbs were pregnant! She dumped the packaging and headed for her CO's office.

JAG HQ - AJ'S OFFICE

"Seems sir that you were right." Mac said after Tiner closed the door.

"About?" He asked [I'm right about so many things] he reflected.

"This sir" and with that she passed him the test result. "I'm pregnant" she said on the chance that he could not read the plastic instrument.

AJ's smug look at being right about something changed to a broad grin of pure pleasure "Congratulations Mac."

"How did you know sir?" Mac was curious.

"Colonel you tell time, I tell pregnancies."

"Understood, sir." She smiled too happy to be disappointed by the lack of an answer.

The intercom buzzed.

"Yes, Tiner" AJ said.

"Sir, sorry to interrupt but the Colonel's 1430 is here."

"Thank you. Tell them she'll be right out." AJ switched off. He refocused onto Mac. "Which case is this?"

"The Head case."

"Ahhh the name change." He said.

"Yes sir, a simple case of the Lieutenant requesting a name change." She explained.

"Change to what?"

"Jones"

AJ tilted his head. "Can't blame the young man, if my name was Dick Head, Lieutenant or no. I'd be inclined to change it too" Dismissed."

"Aye sir."

"And Mac" AJ called.

"Sir." She turned.

"When you are done. Take the rest of the afternoon off and go tell your husband."

She grinned "Aye sir!"

The need inside you, I see it showin'

Whoa, the seed inside ya, baby, do you feel it growin'?

Harm dropped into a chair. "Pregnant? We are pregnant? How far along?"

"I have an appointment tomorrow to get all the tests and check ups needed. And by the way I'm pregnant." She emphasized, "You're sick."

"That's why I'm sick?"" Harm was incredulous.

"Think" she said. "You're sick, sensitive, swelling - all signs in a woman during pregnancy. It's not common but it has been know to happen where the man shows the symptoms and not the woman... and Harm darling. Long may it be so!"

She skillfully dodged the cushion he threw her way.
