"Margaret!" Hawkeye yelled excitedly.

"What is it Pierce?" Margaret asked walking into the living room.

"Guess who I just got off the phone with?"

"Who?"

"Colonel Potter."

"Really?"

"Yes, he misses you. When he comes for the wedding he's gonna kick you tushie."

"I'm sure. So how many people from the 4077th are coming?"

"Colonel Potter, and Mrs. Potter, BJ, Peg, Erin, and Ben, Radar and his wife,"

"I still can't picture Radar married. Let alone with a little girl."

"Yeah, I know. He and Linda are coming with their little girl, you'll never guess her name."

"What?"

"Maggie."

"Maggie?"

"Yes, Radar named her after you."

"That's very sweet of him. When did you talk to him?"

"When you were at work."

"Where's the baby?"

"Taking her nap." Hawkeye said proudly.

"Good. Who else is coming?"

"Well Charles said he would come, with a date."

"Well you wouldn't want him to come alone. Who else is coming?"

"That's all. I called Trapper, but he's still not talking to me. I told you why didn't I?"

"No, you haven't."

"Well it's a long story. After the war, he wanted me to take out his girl friend's friend. And I refused. Then he got mad at me because I supported Louise when she decided to divorce him. And take the kids."

"The poor girls."

"It wasn't just Kathy and Becky, but Henry, and Annie."

"Oh. Well it serves him right."

"I agree."

"What about Klinger and Soon-Lee?"

"They're coming. They got back about a year back. Never found her parents, they were killed but her brother survived. But they're coming. And so is Sydney."

"We'll that's good. How long has Clara been sleeping?"

"Two hours."

"I'm going to go get her up, so she'll go to bed tonight. Not like last night."

"I'm sorry."

"I know you are. You just need to keep track of time. Go start dinner, its 4:30."

"Yes ma'am, Major ma'am."

"Shut up!" Margaret scowled walking up stairs.

Two weeks later at the wedding. Everyone was seated as the local priest was performing the ceremony, when he turned to both Margaret and Hawkeye with a smile.

".... As long as you both shall live?" Hawkeye met Margaret's blue eyes with his own, gazing at her with love as he said the two little words that would bind him to Margaret forever.

"I ...."

"Dada!" Claralynn crowed. Every head in the church turned towards the chubby toddler sitting on Daniel's lap.

"I do." Hawkeye finished with a smile at his daughter.

"And do you Margaret...." The priest continued the ceremony.

"Was it my imagination or did that baby just call Hawkeye 'dada'?" Radar whispered.

"Beats me." Colonel Potter shrugged.

"Shh!" Mildred and Linda whispered, elbowing their husbands. Rolling their eyes, the men fell quiet.

".... As long as you both shall live?"

"I..." Margaret began.

"Mama!" Every head in the church snapped towards Claralynn again. She squirmed off Daniel's lap and toddled over to her father. Hawkeye and Margaret shared a loving glance before Hawkeye picked Claralynn up.

"I do." Margaret completed, smiling at the baby. Rings were exchanged and as the bride and groom kissed for the first time as a married couple, Radar leaned back to Colonel Potter.

"D'ya think there's something he's not telling us?" BJ heard this and began to chuckle.

"BJ, is there something you're not telling us?" Potter asked after the ceremony.

"What are you talking about sir?" BJ said trying to be as innocent as possible.

"You know what I'm talking about."

"I'm sorry sir, I don't. But I have to congratulate my best friends. Excuse me." BJ said then excused himself and walked over to Hawkeye and Margaret who had Claralynn on her lap.

"Do they suspect anything Beej?"

"Yep. Maybe you should tell them?"

"Let me ask my baby girl. Claralynn baby, should we tell everyone?"

"NO." Claralynn said excitedly.

"It's been her favorite word lately. No this, no that." Margaret smiled as she put some cake into the baby's mouth.

"Margaret!" Colonel Potter called walking up to the group.

"Colonel Potter." Margaret smiled, "Pierce, take her." Margaret ordered handing the baby over to her father.

"It's so good to see you."

"You too sir. Thank you for coming."

"I wouldn't miss it for the world. Now there's something that I've been wondering."

"What that?" Margaret asked with a smile, she knew exactly what he was talking about but wasn't going to let him know she knew."

"Who this gorgeous red head is?" He smiled talking the baby out of her father's arms.

"MAMA!" She screamed.

"I'll take her. Come here baby." Margaret said taking the little one in her arms. Claralynn immediately stopped crying, and buried her head into Margaret. "Does that answer your question?"

"No, not really." Radar said walking up.

"Let me take care of this." Hawkeye said. He climbed up on the table. "Ladies and Gentlemen." Everyone quieted down and looked over at Hawkeye. "There seems to be a little bit of confusion with Claralynn here. Just to make it clear to all you people, yes she's my daughter, and Margaret's step daughter." He announced with a smile.

That's its folks, I'll continue soon. I just got a lot of schoolwork to do. And I want to glomp Miranda again. She's the one who came up with the idea. Since I had the worse case of writer's block imaginable. If any of you have idea's just tell me! I would be grateful! *GLOMPS Miranda* THANK YOU!
