Subject: From Commander to CEO 23 of ?

The next morning, Mac took advantage of the time difference between the west coast and the east coast and after looking up the number on the internet, ordered a small bouquet of flowers to be sent to Amber. When told of the emergency at breakfast her younger sisters asked if they could send her a stuffed animal as well. Brianna admitted that Darren had sent them stuffed animals when he'd be away on business and one of them had got sick or injured.


“You were away on business, and the only reason we haven't said anything about it before is that this was the first time since Daddy died that one of us needed a bear.” Clae Rose admitted. Brianna nodded.

“Amber really likes tigers, so can we go to the mall, and find a tiger to send her?”


“I think that can be arranged.” Harm said. “We'll go after lunch, that gives us time to get chores done, and I can help any of you that need help with your homework.” The girls agreed quickly. Lilyana worked at the mall on Saturday, this way she would have a ride to work, Lilyana was disappointed that she couldn't go on the spree, but she was determined to pay as much of her own way for college, the next year, and this was on of the sacrifices.


Sdsdsdsdsdsdsdsd


Monday morning finally came around, both Harm and Mac had felt the weekend drag slowly even with all the normal activities. They had wondered what the result would be of the ultra-sound. Were they ready to be happy if it was a single pregnancy, or if it turned out to be a multiple pregnancy? This was something that both had pondered well into the night. Mac more so than Harm, but that was because she had a few more days to think about it than Harm. The doctor could have seen her already, but Mac wanted Harm to be at the appointment, so she'd taken the later opening in the doctor's schedule.


Monday Morning

0900 local

San Diego. CA


The technician had Mac prepped for the procedure and did her part. The doctor would be looking at the results in another room, his way of preparing himself if there were to be any abnormalities or surprises.

It was a long few minutes for Harm, and Mac, whose vaunted telling of time had temporarily gone UA, when the doctor strode into the room, with a hard copy of the ultrasound.


“Colonel Rabb, Mr. Rabb, I know you both are wondering what the results are. Baby Rabb appears to be perfectly healthy, as does his or her sibling.”


Harm let out the breath he didn't know he'd been holding. “When Mac told me that the test she took went positive so quickly, I remembered that friends of mine from the academy had twins, and her comment to her husband, before they had it confirmed was 'as fast as that went blue, I'm carrying triplets, turns out it was just twins, but, I remember that and so I've been psyching myself all weekend for this possibility. “


Mac was crying, it was tears of joy, of apprehension and relief. Harm leaned over and gave her a hug and a kiss.


“Hey, flyboy, do you think that eight are enough?” Mac laughed, realizing that with the combining of families, and their own biological children, they would have eight. This comment drew chuckles from everyone in the room.


After the appointment Mac went to the commanding officer of the base to notify him of her status, that for the time being she was to keep her normal duties, but her physician would let Mac know if that would change. The grandfather of five was understanding, “my daughter-in-law just had triplets, and her doctor had her keep her boss updated., but then she wasn't the CO of an office, take care of that precious cargo. You have a good chief of staff, let her take more responsibility, so that when you need to step aside both of you are ready.”


Mac took the advice, as it was sound.
