I know this is a real accomplishment getting a chapter up the day after the last one and I'm ecstatic about it. I hope you enjoy this. I believe there is going to be a few more chapters before we find out if Bridget is pregnant or not. It adds to the suspense. ;) I'm still waiting for votes about a baby or not. I have five votes in so far and frankly I thought I had more than five readers. Oh well... I know this a bit longer than my usual chapters but there is a lot of talking in this one. Enjoy!!!

The next day Hawkeye got fitted for a tux, which was going to cost extra for it to be ready in time.

"Four days! I'm getting married in four days! How the hell am I going to be able to pay for all of this?" Hawkeye couldn't help but think.

The day before he had called his dad to tell him about the wedding. His dad was excited and a bit surprised.

"Five days? Can't you wait a few months? You must really want to marry her."

"No, Dad. Remember how Margaret was going to marry someone else? Well they couldn't call off their wedding when Margaret canceled on him."

"Hmm, really. Well, I'll help you out and get all the family together. I'll call them up and get them there. You just worry about getting married in five days."

"Don't worry I'm already worrying about it Dad. Thanks. Bye."

At least he didn't have to worry about his family now. That was a load off his chest. Of course not everyone would be able to make it but hopefully some would be able to. Now all he had to do was call the doctors and servicemen from the 4077 that Margaret hadn't invited for her first wedding. Margaret was calling the nurses whom she hadn't called either.

Colonel Potter, B.J., Charles, and Father Mulcahy had already been called, plus a few nurses, but Hawkeye had to call Radar, Klinger, Trapper, Frank, and a few others. Father Mulcahy at first was just going to be a guest, but Margaret and Hawkeye decided that they wanted him to marry them since they knew each other so well. Radar was able to take a few days off the farm and Klinger was begging that Margaret wear a gown that he had been making for her. When asked why he did such a thing all he said was that nothing escapes his nose's notice or his eyes for that matter. Trapper was surprised at the offer and said that he wouldn't miss it for the world.

"If someone was finally going to hitch with Hot Lips, I would never have figured it would have been you Hawk."

"Well believe it Trap. And you better not call my wife that once I'm officially married to her."

"I can't promise anything. Red doing it?"

"Yeah."

"Can't wait to see that. Bye Hawk. See you in a few days."

"Bye Trap."

Begrudgingly Hawkeye called Frank, but Frank gracefully declined. There was no way the Colonel could be expected to leave at that moment where communism might strike somewhere inside the States. No, he had to stay and protect the country of the free. Hawkeye failed to remind him that Michigan was part of the country of the free, so he checked Frank off of the guest list.

Hawkeye flopped down onto the couch after all his calls and closed his eyes.

Bridget giggled. "Hard day?"

"That's not even half of it. I just talked to Colonel Frank Burns who just happens to have a stethoscope up his ass."

"Really? Have you ever proven that?"

Hawkeye opened his eyes and looked at her. "Actually yes I can because I'm the one that put it up there. He wasn't paying attention where he was sitting."

"Is he really that bad?" she laughed.

"Worst."

Margaret had the phone watching them as she called her old nurses. There didn't seem to be anything more than friendship between them, but she still saw Bridget as a threat. Hawkeye had said he loved both of them, but he loved her more than her. Margaret wasn't assured one hundred percent. She knew Bridget loved Hawkeye. That was the whole reason why she slept with Thomas in the first place. She just hoped nothing happened between the two of them. As she thought this, both of them got up and went outside. She watched as Bridget led Hawkeye into the woods. She narrowed her eyes at what they might me doing, but decided to trust them this time.

Michaela and Sandra watched them too, but they knew what they were doing so they did and said nothing.

"So this was our town square, Trading Post, Main Way, our Post Office, Service Desk, the Kitchen, and our Town Hall/My Place."

"You had quite a little town. It looks smaller than Ellsworth, but has more."

"I know." Bridget sat down on her 'throne' and gestured for Hawkeye to sit down. He looked around, but couldn't see anything to really sit on except a few rocks and some rotting logs. Instead he leaned against a tree and looked around him.

"This is it? Not much of a town."

"Oh there's more. There is always more." She went on to show him the two watchtowers, which were really just two climbing trees. She showed him Just In the Way where was Justin's house, a couple of friends' houses and a view of the swamp. Then they went down Green Way past the bank, hospital, mental hospital, the Green House (small town version of the white house), which was her house. Then down Ramona Road past the dance hall, museum, a few more houses and onto the Yellow Brick Road, past the guest house, an army fort a few more look outs until they got to the Winter Halls.

"You had that much stuff in your little town? Wow. You were quite an imaginative child."

"No, no. It's called Little Big Town."

"What is?"

"My town was called Little Big Town, after my favorite band."

She sat down on a pile of rocks and patted a rock next to her. He sat down and looked across the 'balcony' at the swamp. "How long did it take you to all of this?"

She thought about it a moment. "It depends whether you mean the first building or when we came up with the idea of a town. The first building was the Town Hall, but back then it was just my fort. Then it took us three days to clear off from the town square to the Green House."

Hawkeye whistled. "You were bust beavers weren't you?"

Bridget shrugged like it was no big deal. "Well, it was summer, we were bored, and it kept us out of the house."

They sat in silence for a while before Bridget asked, "So who were some of the people you called?"

"Well there was my dad, Radar, Klinger, Trapper, and Frank."

"Who's Trapper and how the hell did he get his name?"

"He was my tent mate before he was sent home and B.J. came into the picture. He got his name from an incident on a train. He was caught with a train stewardess in the bathroom. When they were found she said, 'He trapped me!' And he's been known as Trapper ever since."

"Hmm. Is he married?"

"Yes."

"Kids?"

"Yes."

"Does he still 'Trap'?"

"As far as I know."

"That's disgusting. Is he bringing his family to the wedding?"

"No, his wife is pregnant again so she can't travel."

"I hope he doesn't think about 'trapping' me. I'll show him I can't be trapped."

Hawkeye smiled. "I would like to see that."

"I bet you would."

They sat again in silence. Hawkeye watched her from the corner of his eye and couldn't help but notice how pretty she looked with the way the shadows of the branches played on her face. Without thinking he leaned over to kiss her.

Bridget saw what was coming and stood up. She had a slight pained look on her face. "Please don't do that Hawkeye. I know you love Margaret, and so do I. Please don't do this to her." She left him in the woods feeling ashamed.

He knew he shouldn't have done it, but it was just instinct after all his years of womanizing. He would have to change his ways he knew if he was going to make this work with Margaret. He knew she didn't tolerate any of that sort of crap. He would have to change and now. Of course it would be rough to change your whole lifestyle, but he would do it for her.

He went back to the house and gave Margaret a big swoop of a kiss. When she asked why he did that, especially when she was trying to talk her dad into coming when he said he had other engagements, he said "You're the only woman I'm ever going to kiss again. I just wanted to remind myself that."

Margaret thought it a bit suspicious and couldn't see Bridget anywhere. She smiled at Hawkeye and reminded herself to talk to Bridget about why Hawkeye would do that after they had been alone in the woods.

"That's so sweet of you Hawkeye. I just hope you can remember that."

Hawkeye had a slight crease in his forehead. "I'm willing to try Margaret. I know it'll be difficult, but I'm going to try to stop for you."

"Well, it's the thought that counts." She turned away from him with the phone talking to her dad. "Yes, Dad. I'm here…"

Hawkeye watched her puzzled for a moment before going to his room to think about the honeymoon that was going to be taking place in five days.
