Hey guys, this is just a drabble from the episode when Margaret fears she's pregnant (What's up Doc?), it's set after she tells Hawkeye but before they operate on Fluffy. It was distracting me from my other story, which will hopefully be finished really soon. Let me know what you think

"Margaret?" Hawkeye questioned knocking on the Major's tent flap.
"What?" she barked.
"Um, Margaret, could I talk to you?" He questioned barely waiting for her response "You know that thing you were telling me about earlier... Well, how long ago did we spend the night in that abandoned hut?" Margaret gasped and looked to be on the verge of sending Hawkeye away when he continued "Wasn't it right before your R&R with Donald?"
"About a week" Margaret admitted quietly.
"And we... uh... you know" Hawkeye stuttered trying to find the right words to prevent Margaret from hitting him.
"Captain!" she screeched, warning him.
"It's possible, Major"
"No it's not" she denied.
"Margaret, seven weeks ago we were together in that abandoned hut, and we did all the right things"
"Pierce!"
"Margaret, would it be that bad?"
"Yes!" She argued, tears forming in her eyes. Hawkeye enveloped her in his arms, while she sobbed loudly. His touch was gentle and she was surprised when she felt more for the dark haired surgeon currently holding her close than she ever had for any man, a fact which only caused her to sob louder. She was struck suddenly by the truth as people are sometimes, and it always comes as a shock. Margaret Houlihan had married the wrong man.
