A/N: ok, so I haven't even updated my first M*A*S*H fic and here I go
starting another, oh well. I like writing ^_^ so here is one about what
would happen if some tragic thing happened to BJ that involves the word
death, set after Radar leaves. Enjoy ^_^
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------
Hawkeye groaned as the announcement was made to come to triage at 2:00 AM. He grabbed his clothes as BJ finally set up and looked at his watch, "I just went to sleep 20 minutes ago." He sighed and slipped on his clothes before they both ran out.
Charles was already there, since he had had post-op duty at night this week. "It's about time you two got here."
"Couldn't help it, I happen to have this disease called sleeping, and it always wants to kick in about 11 PM and never ends till 10 AM." Hawkeye replied as he bent over a patient with a leg wound, "he can wait, give him plasma." He said to the nurse as he rushed off to the next.
BJ shook drowsiness from his head as he washed up in the scrub room. He walked into OR and asked for the first patient, "Ah the first victim..." he said sourly.
"And many more to come Captain, it's gonna be another long session" Klinger said as he rushed out into the pre-op room. BJ groaned much as Hawkeye had done earlier.
"I'm gonna be ok, ain't I Doc?" the wounded soldier said softly.
"Yea, you're gonna be fine, you've got the best doctor working on you, I'm surprised you're still talking" he said and motioned for the nurse to put him under.
"Liar" Hawkeye smiled as he got his first unconscious patient on his table.
"Liar? Who are you calling a liar Hawk?"
"You, you know good and well that Charles is the best." he winked at BJ because the Major had just walked in to catch that last comment.
"Of course I'm the best.at what?" he said suspiciously.
"Snoring." Stated BJ as he worked on getting shrapnel from the belly of the wounded soldier.
"I do not snore! How many times must I tell you two that?!?"
"Just a few more times Charles, I promise we won't say anything more about it today." Hawkeye replied in his normal sarcastic manner. Charles just groaned and went to work on his patient, and the OR went into normal displays of humor throughout the 18-hour session of meatball surgery.
============
After the exhausting OR session a jeep pulled up outside the clerks office and a beautiful nurse stepped out. Klinger walked out to greet her and his jaw dropped at the sight of her. She had dirty blond hair, that was long but it was up in a tight bun so he couldn't see exactly how long, and her soft, emerald green eyes were sparkling with laughter that just wanted to burst forth from her full lips. He extended his hand and she took it in a firm but soft grip, "I'm Captain Virrnet, the transfer nurse." She smiled and handed the company clerk her transfer papers.
"Ah, um.yea, right this way ma'am" he stuttered. She smiled softly, used to it by now, after all, she had always looked this way while in the army.
"I'd like to ask a few questions, if you don't mind Captain."
"Please, call me Renee, I hate those formalities. And ask away."
"Full Name" he stood ready to write down her answers on the clipboard in front of him.
"Captain Amanda Renee Virrnet, birthday is December 14, 1925, I'm 27 years old, 5 foot 5 inches, AB negative blood type and I'm not married but I have one child, I'm originally from a very small town in Georgia. I think that's all you wanted to know right?" she said in a strong southern drawl.
Klinger looked shocked, the last time someone had known what he was gonna say was when Radar had been there, "You don't happen to be related to any O'Rielly's do you?"
"No, well, I was adopted so I don't know my real family but I don't know any O'Rielly's, sorry."
"It's ok, you just seem to have a certain knack that he had, he was the old company clerk."
Renee smiled, she knew what knack he spoke of and it wasn't that she had any knack, it was just that she transferred so often that she knew all the questions by heart. Just then Colonel Potter walked into the room and he stopped short at the sight of the woman, "Hello, how do you do ma'am, what are you here for?" he said in his own drawl.
"I'm Captain Renee Virrnet, the transfer nurse" she saluted half-heartedly, not knowing if he expected it or not.
"As you were Captain, as long as Klinger has your papers you should go see Major Houlihan."
"Yes sir." She smiled and picked up her bags and walked out. The first person she met was Hawkeye Pierce on his way from the mess tent to the swamp.
"Hello gorgeous, I haven't seen you around before." He said rather charmingly.
"Well, I'm looking for Major Houlihan, can you take me to her.um." she fumbled for a name or rank but she found no indication since he was not in uniform.
"Captain Benjamin Franklin Pierce at your service, but you may call me Hawkeye."
"Ok, Hawkeye, I'm Captain Amanda Renee Virrnet, but you _will_ call me Renee, I hate anything else, and only call me Captain in front of ranking officers." She smiled and he laughed softly.
"Finally a nurse that doesn't go exactly by the book." He took her bags from her and escorted her to the head nurse's tent.
============
BJ smiled as Klinger handed him a letter; "It came while everyone was in OR."
"Thanks, great a letter from Peg." He ripped it open and began reading immediately as a smiling Klinger left the Swamp looking for the owners of the rest of the mail in his bag.
Hawkeye walked in with a huge smile on his face, "Beej, I just met the most wonderful nurse."
"Yea, did you check her finger? I saw her while I was coming in here, she's married."
"Nah, you just thought it was on that finger."
"You didn't check it did you?" BJ laughed softly as he kept reading his letter.
"Nope, I'll check later, while I'm helping her settle her things."
"Yea, ok Hawk." he trailed off as he read, "Hey listen to this, Erin's starting to ask questions. Peg says she asks what her food is before she eats it." He smiled wide at thoughts of his little girl.
Just then a knock came on the door, "Come in at your own risk," replied Hawkeye.
"I risk everything just by being here, much less walking into a moldy tent" said Renee as she walked in, "I was told to tell a Captain Hunnicut that I'd be replacing his usual nurse since she transferred out."
"That'd be me," BJ said slightly raising his hand from the letter. Hawkeye quickly checked her ring finger and frowned, it had a big wedding ring on it.
"I'm not married." She said smiling, but he pointed at it and cocked one eyebrow.
"He died in action, leaving me a widow and my son an orphan." She said sadly. BJ perked up when he heard that someone else had a child back home, he motioned for her to sit. She was about to sit on a chair when Hawkeye pulled her over to sit on his bed. She laughed softly.
"Tell me about your son." BJ said very interested, being a parent himself.
"Um, well, I haven't seen him since he was 6 months old.my husband was drafted when I was pregnant, I was only allowed to leave the army for the pregnancy and until he got to be 6 months, then I had to come if I didn't quit the army.But I get letters from mother about him" she said smiling, "he's asking questions now." Hawkeye groaned softly as BJ smiled.
"My little girl is doing that, she's only 2 and a half."
"That's how old Aaron is."
"Aaron? My little girl's name is Erin!" they both smiled as Renee moved over to BJ's cot.
"I bet her mom picked out that name."
"Yea, Peg did, I picked out her middle name, Michelle."
"Beautiful, I obviously had to pick out my son's name but I couldn't figure anything out so I just named him a name with AB as initials, Aaron Benjamin." Hawkeye perked up.
"My name's Benjamin." Renee smiled at the other surgeon.
"Yea, you told me, I like the name, it's always sounded.so dignified to me, it's a very noble name, one to be proud of, or so I thought." She laughed and blushed and stood up, "Anyway, I should be getting back, Major Houlihan wanted to give me a tour, I guess we'll have to tell children stories later then Captain Hunnicut." She smiled and walked over to the door.
"It's BJ," he said as she walked out the door. She waved slightly and walked back to the Major's tent.
"Oh Beej.exactly what was that?" Hawkeye said suspiciously, "I find out the girl of my dreams isn't married and you steal her, you thief."
"I'm married Hawk, no problem, but why do you thin she still wears he wedding band? Either she's not over her husband or she's trying to keep the lecherous men like you away. And I vote for the latter."
"I vote for the previous, and I'll get her over her husband quick." BJ laughed softly and went back to reading his letter from Peg, smiling even wider when he read parts about Erin.
