48AN: Thanx again for the reviews. Keep them coming.
Mac's Office - 1515 ZULU
(Ok, he's here. Now what?)
"Close the door, Harm. Did you come up with any ideas for this particular operation?"
"Well, I thought that it might be a good idea to actually have the inital plan go through before we get into the details."
(Huh?)"Excuse me?"
"Why don't we decide the living aragements and such after the baby is conceived?"
Outside Mac's Office
(BABY!? What!?)
Lt. Harriet Sims Roberts had to excercise all of her years of military discipline not to drop the stack of files she was supposed to be delivering to the Admiral's office.
(Oh, my, god! Did the Commander just say what I think he did? No, I must be halucinating.)
In the office
"So we decide the living arrangements later. What about the conception method? Oh, and what do we tell the rest of the office, Harm?"
"Well, we'd have to tell the Admiral after the baby is concieved, but, all the others would have to know is that you're going to have a baby. Anything else is up to you."
"We really wouldn't have to tell the Admiral who the father is, I'd just have to request less travel time."(Ugh, asking to lighten up my caseload, too.)
"You're probably right." (Ok, here goes, even though she's probably going to kill me for this.) "You might also ask to have your caseload lightened up a bit."
(How does he do that?)"Much as I hate to admit it, I had the exact same thought. What about the conception method, Harm? If we did it the natural way, we'd probably be charged with fraternization."(Although the frat charge might just be worth it.)
(Now here's a tough choice: sleep with Mac=frat charge or in vitro and deny myself the satisfaction. Aw, what the hell.) "If it's all the same to you, Mac, I vote for the natural way."
Outside the office:
(Oh, my god! He did say it! They're talking about having a baby together! Wait a minute here. It's not April Fool's Day and I don't think this is the Twilight Zone so who are they and what did they do with the Commander and the Colonel!?)
Inside the office:
(There is a God!)"You want to do this the natural way? Are you sure, Harm?"(Oh, why did I give him an escape? Please don't take the out, Harm!)
(Ok, maybe she doesn't want me the way I want her. Only one way to find out.) "Yeah, Mac. I'm sure. It's the least difficult way."(Yeah, and the least likely to drive me insane.)
(Whew! That was close!)"Ok. When do we want to start trying?"
"Um...how does this weekend sound to you? I figure you could come to my apartment Friday and stay til Sunday."
"Are you cooking?"
"Of course, would I invite you over and not feed you?"
^smiling^"No, cause then I'd have to kick your six."
"Ok, then. See you Friday?"(If I make it that long.)
"Yeah...Friday."(Now, how am I going to make it till then?)
Outside the office
(Oh, my, god. I can't believe this. I can't wait to tell Bud.)

AN: More reviews, please! Also, thanx to Kitty41 for the idea for this chapter. I've decided to make this story kind of an interactive thing. I'll take ideas for each chapter and if I find a good one, I'll put it in. Ok?
