A/N: all right, the stretch is winding down. I'm not sure, this may be the
last chapter.maybe not, depends on if I get enough reviews to do an
epilogue. ^-^ Thanx for sticking with me though. But be happy if you're a
reader of 2KW because if this is over, my muse has no where else to go but
there lol.

Renee smiled as she sat down on her cot, "So what did you wanna talk about?"
"Umm, well." BJ smiled nervously as he sat down next to her. "The past week has been something hasn't it?"
Renee laughed lightly, "Well yea. I got control over a whole unit of nurses and the guy I've been in love with since the first night I got here, finally admits he's attracted to me. I think it's been a good week."
"In. . .in love?" BJ said, even more nervous.
"Well, maybe just a little" Renee said with her fingers a few centimeters apart.
BJ smiled, "I just wanted to say that we need to take it slow. I don't think I'm fully over Peg yet and I don't want you to get hurt because I'm not."
"That's ok, I understand. You'll never be fully 'over her.' She's not just an ex-girlfriend from college. You'll never be able to forget her, and seriously, if you ever re-marry, you'll probably end up sometimes calling out her name when your making love to your new wife." Renee said with a blush.
"Probably." BJ said awkwardly.
Renee laid her hand on BJ's shoulder, "Don't worry, It's been two years since Steve died and I'm not over him."
"But you said, on the night that Peg died, that you knew it'd be ok because of the little . . .vision you had?"
"Yea, I knew I'd be ok, but that doesn't mean I'll ever stop missing him. Peg's letter to you, was her way of letting you know, that you'll be ok."
"And her way of letting me know, it's ok to get re-married." He said as he cupped her cheek in his hand.
She smiled at him, "Yea, I guess it could be interpreted that way too."
BJ closed his eyes as he bent down to kiss her. She closed her eyes and met him half way. They kissed passionately for a long time before Renee broke off the kiss and breathlessly said, "I thought you said we were going slow."
"This is slow." BJ said with a grin as he laid her down on her cot.
"How slow are we going?"
"Excruciatingly slow."
Renee giggled quietly and BJ just smiled as he kissed her again.
============
Hawkeye sat on Margaret's cot the next morning with a huge smile on his face. Margaret looked at him and shook her head, "What? Why are you staring at me?"
"Look what you're wearing. You really want to give me a heart attack don't you?" He said looking over her silk, pink mesh nightgown.
"As long as I can bring you back to life I'm happy."
Hawkeye sighed and smiled. He stood up and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and moved so that they could both look into her full- length mirror. "We look good together ya know that? I've never thought about it before, but we really do make a good couple."
"I've always thought it." She ran her fingers through his dark hair as he started to kiss her neck, "Hawkeye, we need to go to breakfast."
"I like my breakfast here thank you." He said, preoccupied with her neck.
"I'd like my breakfast."
"You can have it as soon as I'm done with mine."
Margaret laughed and pulled away from him. "Come on, we really need to get going."
"Alright, alright, do you want me to meet you there?"
"No, just wait till I change."
Needless to say, they didn't make it to breakfast when everyone else was there. But when they got there, they weren't the only late eaters.
"Hey Beej." Hawkeye said mischievously as he sat across the table from his best friend and Renee.
"Hello Renee. Shouldn't you be on duty?" Margaret said sitting beside Hawkeye.
"I could ask you the same question Margaret." Renee replied with a knowing smile.
"I think we all are late for the same reason." BJ said smiling.
Hawkeye looked at him and laughed softly, "Hopefully with different people."
"Always."
"So, you two . . .?" Margaret said grinning from ear to ear.
"Did you two?" Renee replied with the same grin. Margaret just laughed; the others joined in and everyone walking by the mess tent looked in at the officers, just a little confused.
============
The next months went by without much difference than usual. The OR was filled to the brim every few days with wounded and shifts of 14 hours or more. while the officers club was just as full at night when there weren't any wounded.
"I think I'm gonna do it Beej. I can't leave here thinking that she won't be with me forever."
"Then ask her."
"I don't have a ring, I don't know how she'll take it anyway. Plus we're all leaving soon . . ."
"It's your choice, I can't make this one for you." BJ said smiling, "I already know that the person I care about is coming home with me." He said looking over at Renee who was talking with Margaret.
"How do you know?" Hawkeye asked.
"I asked her to bring her Aaron and live with me and my Erin. We're going to introduce her family and my family. She only has her mother so she's moving to Mill Valley too. I just don't know how Peg's father is going to take it. But I really don't care, he should know that Peg would be happy for me."
Hawkeye smiled and touched his friend's shoulder, "She would be BJ, she'd be the happiest one of us all."
BJ smiled and looked up at dark clouds overhead, "I know . . .I know."
