ABOUT SIX WEEKS LATER.

"Oh no! Not again!" Margaret jumped from the table.

"What's the matter with her?" Daniel asked Hawkeye.

"Something she ate. It's not agreeing with her."

Daniel looked over at Hawkeye. "Uh-huh. What did she eat before she got sick?"

Margaret walked into the room just as he said that.

"Well, the last thing I ate was a peanut butter sandwich and some chips. I haven't been able to keep anything else down since then."

Daniel raised his eyebrow. "Well, I've never heard of someone getting food poisoning from a peanut butter sandwich or chips."

"Well, Dad, it's not the flu. She doesn't have any of the symptoms, except one obviously."

"Margaret, may I ask you a personal question?"

"Sure, Daniel. What is it?"

"Are you.late?"

"Am I what? Oh! Well, let's see what's today." She sat thinking for a moment.

"Oh no!! I'm 8 days late! Oh my God, I guess I wasn't paying attention."

"Well, there's your diagnosis." Daniel smiled from ear to ear. "Ha ha ha, you are pregnant, my dear."

Margaret looked over at Hawkeye afraid of what he might do or say. He didn't look up from the paper he was reading, but she saw a huge grin spread over his face. She smiled and asked Daniel if she could go with him and Hawkeye to the hospital so she could take a test. She just had to know for sure.

"Alright. Let's go."

Hawkeye had to go upstairs to check on some patients. Margaret followed his father so she could take the test.

"Ok. We'll know by tomorrow. Why don't you go home now and get some rest. Don't stress yourself too much ok?"

"Ok" She smiled and went home.

Just after she left, Hawkeye came into his dad's office. "Well?"

Daniel looked at him and smiled. "Well, I have the results but I didn't tell her. I think you should. It's your baby."

"So she's pregnant?!"

"She sure is. Congratulations!"

"I have to go home and tell her now! I can't believe it, Dad." Hawkeye was just beaming. He loved Margaret and knew they were going to be together forever. He was thrilled about the news. So he went home to Margaret.

"Margaret?"

"I'm in the kitchen!" She yelled.

Hawkeye leaned in the doorway of the kitchen he couldn't stop smiling.

"What? Why are you smiling at me like that? Do you know something I don't?"

He nodded. She smiled with tears in her eyes, "Really?!"

"Yes. I can't believe it! We made a baby." He said as he kissed her softly.

"I know.but.well, I want to be married before this baby is born."

"Of course"

"Oh, wow. I can't believe it either. I think I'll have a bath." Margaret kissed Hawkeye and went upstairs. As she slipped into the tub, the door started to open. It was Hawkeye.

"Would you like some company?" he asked.

"C'mon in, the water's fine, " she replies with her eyes riveted to him. He begins to undress and she admires his smooth broad chest, firm arms, and muscled legs. She could just devour every inch of his body. He steps into the tub with her, so that he are facing her, his legs stretched out so that his feet wrap around behind her back and she is able to run her hands up and down his thighs. She leans forward with a washcloth in her hands and rubs it over his chest. She washes his shoulders and down his arms. Her eyes are locked on his the entire time and she just wants to completely take care of you. Between Margaret and Hawkeye, there are no walls of inhibitions. Nothing is too intimate. She wants to make love to him in the tub again. She wants to feel the water splashing around them as they come together over and over. She slides herself closer to him so that they are sitting facing each other, almost Indian style. Her legs are wrapped around him and she is on his lap. She leans down and kisses gently on the side of his neck, inhaling his scent deep into her lungs. She works her way up to his ear, whispering how much she loves him. She traces the tip of her tongue around the edge of his ear, and when she gets to his earlobe, she cannot resist a little nibble. He feels her warm breath on his ear and she tells him again how much she loves him. She kisses down his neck over to his throat. She makes a trail of kisses from his Adam's apple to his chin to his mouth where they kiss full on the lips. They just kiss and kiss each other for what seems like an eternity. She feels the electricity cackling back and forth. They could kiss like this the rest of the evening. She wants to feel him inside her and she lifts herself up a little so that she is aligned with him. Their mouths still locked, she slowly lowers herself onto his shaft and slides all the way down. He fills her so perfectly. He wraps his arms tightly around her and feels her breasts pressed up against his bare chest. Each movement is very deliberate, each stroke, relaxed and comfortable. They are savoring the feel of each other. Hawkeye and Margaret have so many different ways they make love together, letting their moods dictate the pace and style. Tonight is warm, comfortable lovemaking. She feels his head just inside her opening as she slides down him again for another slow easy stroke. The water is lapping around them and they still are kissing deeply. Her arms are wrapped around his neck and her hands are running through his hair. Caressing his scalp and back of his neck as they continue to make love. Each stroke is filled with a quiet urgency as she begins to move a little faster. She feels him growing inside her and she know that he is very close. She guides his hand to her clit and he knows just how to rub it so they can climax together. With a deep shudder, she feels tremors begin.

He whispers to her, "I'm so close," while he rubs a little harder.

She tightens herself on him and let nature take over. He feels the throbbing of her climax and is amazed how easily he brings her to that peak. He has the roadmap to her body and knows exactly how to take care of her. This thrills him and he releases his climax knowing that she has had hers. Throbbing together, they just hug each other tighter. Hawkeye helps Margaret out of the bath tub and wraps a towel around the two of them.

"Margaret.I love you so much. You have given me two of the things I've been wanting. You as my wife and a child." he whispers as he holds her in his arms.

"I love you too, Hawkeye."
