Margaret heard the phone ring and ran to pick it up before she left.

"Hello."

"Hi Margaret it's Hawkeye."

"Hi Hawkeye, what's the matter?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean when I answer all you say is 'hey there gorgeous'. So come on spill it."

"Do you think you could stay a little later then usual this year?"

"Of course. I have a month off, so instead of coming home and sleeping I'll stay there. Why?"

"Margaret do you remember Casey?"

"Sure, she's the one who got all upset when I came last year and you kissed me."

"Yeah, I told you when you came for Christmas that she left me in November. Well something came from her. A baby, and I'm her father." He paused. "Margaret I cant be a dad, I don't know how!"

"Hawk, I'll be there in a couple of hours, call your dad and BJ. Get dad to pick me up at the airport at nine. Hawk look, just make sure she has milk, bottle, and dippers. Look I gotta go, my plane leaves soon. Bye"

"Bye. Hurry."

He hung up the phone and sighed. Maybe he'd call Beej first and his dad second. He picked up the phone once again and dialed Beej's number.

"Hello."

"Hi Peg, it's Hawkeye, can I talk to BJ?"

"Sorry Hawkeye BJ is at the office, you can try him there."

"Uh Peg, I gotta problem. I gotta daughter that I didn't know about until this morning. She's a month old, and I found her on my step bout an hour ago."

"Oh dear, is she sick?"

"No, but she's sleeping. I was thinking that maybe you travel this way a little sooner then planed? I mean I need help. I've called Margaret she'll be here around nine or ten, but what do I do if she wakes up?"

"Does she have a bottle?"

"Yeah."

"Do you have milk?"

"Yeah."

"Well give her a bottle, change her dipper and entertain her. Listen we'll try to make it there a week early. Look Hawk Ben's crying I gotta go."

"Okay thanks Peg."

"Anytime, and call anytime if you need help okay?"

"Okay bye Peg."

"Bye."

He hung up the phone and quickly picked it up and dialed again

"Hello." A groggy voice answered.

"Hi dad, um, can you come over?"

"Sure gimmi an hour."

"Okay thanks dad."

"Anytime Ben."

"Oh dad could you pick up some milk, I'm all out."

"Sure."

"Okay bye dad."

"Bye"

Hawkeye quickly hung up the phone and sighed. As he stared at this baby sleeping on his carpet. After about an hour of watching Claralynn sleep his father walked in.

"Shh." He said quickly and led him to see Claralynn sleeping.

"Whose is he?"

"Claralynn is mine dad. I found her this morning, with this." He handed his father the letter as he read it Hawkeye picked up the newly awaken baby. "Hi Claralynn I'm your daddy and this is your Grampy."

Daniel smiled and said, "You're gonna keep her?"

"Yeah dad I am. Oh Margaret plan arrives at nine, could you go get her?"

"Of course I love Meg. I should leave. We'll get some dippers and stuff. Bye Claralynn Melissa. Bye Hawk." Daniel smiled and walked off.

"Well baby it's just you and me. Well you're probably wondering who Margaret is, well hopefully she'll be your momma, but if she doesn't she's your aunt. I hope she'll be you momma cause I want you to have one. I tell you a bit about her." For about an hour Hawkeye talked to this infant who couldn't help but smile, until Daniel and Margaret walked in.
