A/N: First M*A*S*H story, read and review please!!! I'm always open to
criticism.
Orphans & Minefields
Trapper was surrounded by people, when he heard a truck pull up. He hugged the boy tighter when he saw Sister Theresa climb out. A Korean woman stepped out of the car, looked at the little boy and started to cry, and then she ran back into the truck. "Oh dear" said Sister Theresa "She came looking for a boy I took a chance." "I'm sorry" Trapper said "There's no need" Sister Theresa said, " I suppose I'll be taken him to the orphanage now." Trapper looked down at the little boy in his arms. He had just saved him from a minefield but didn't want to send him to the orphanage. He looked up at Hawkeye who nodded to Henry. Who announced " 'Trapper' John Xavier MacIntyre and his wife Louise Elizabeth MacIntyre have decided to adopt this little boy." Sister Theresa smiled and said, "The first thing you should do is give him a name." "What do you want to name him Trap?" Hawkeye asked. "I'm not sure, but my wife wrote down some great names on this back of the letter. I'll choose a couple of them." Trapper replied. The crowd died down. Soon Trapper was walking hand in hand with the little boy. When they got back to the 'Swamp' Hawkeye asked, "Where's the letter?" Trapper walked to his footlocker, opened it and pulled out the letter. Scrawled on the back were these names:
Christopher
Jonathan
Jason
Benjamin
Mark
Joshua
Kyle
Alexander
Zachary
Joseph
Jacob
Matthew
"Hey!" Exclaimed Hawkeye "My name is on there." "Wow! I told her your full name in my first letter I didn't expect her to remember it" Trapper said "Sometimes I don't" "So which names are you going to choose?" Hawkeye asked. "Well, I'll underline the ones I like and then pick from their." Trapper answered Just then they heard a giggle. The Korean boy had put a martini glass on his head and was walking around quite fast. Hawkeye grabbed it off his head and told him no while Trapper finished underlining the names he liked. It looked like this.
Christopher
Jonathan
Jason
Benjamin
Mark
Joshua
Kyle
Alexander
Zachary
Joseph
Jacob
Matthew
"I think his name shall be.." Trapper paused dramatically "Benjamin Alexander MacIntyre"
