Summary: Hawkeye never realised that maybe the person he had been looking for was there for him through it all.
Tamara's History: Tamara was a smart girl; she was her mothers pride and joy. She lived in Crabapple Cove, she was born and raised there. Her father died when she was young of a heart attack, and ever since then she wanted to become a doctor. She didn't care what others thought, most of them thought she would never make it as a doctor. But now as a 30 year old, she was a doctor. She was a great doctor she was a doctor all the females could trust. Hawkeye is 31 for my story though he might be a couple of years older in others or younger. Who really cares?

I was coming home from a stressful days work. People think I'm crazy I'm a young beautiful woman and I live at home with my mother.
'Tamara darling is that you?' asked mother when I came in.
'Yes mum, how are you?' I asked, coming in and giving my mother a kiss on the cheek.
'I'm fine thank you darling your day wasn't to stressful was it?'
I had been stewing over something for a while now; and I had been meaning to do something about it for a while. So today when I went to a meeting at the general hospital in Maine I did something not every women should do. All the doctors had to attend the meeting; and since I was a doctor I went to this meeting knowing exactly what I was meant to do. We were informed that the army had been drafting more doctors, and that they really needed them over there in Korea, with the war and all. I wanted to help over there; I had heard all her fathers' stories of the Great War. I didn't just need to help but I wanted to help. There was one person I would have trouble telling though, me mother. *What was I think? I mean she can't do everything by herself. That is why I'm staying here not living in a house on my own.*
'Um no it wasn't really that stressful. The meeting was great I meet up with a few of my colleagues and found out who got drafted and who hadn't. Offcourse I never will be drafted unless they mistake my name for Thomas, which I highly doubt they will,' I said stupidly.
'What's troubling you dear you can tell me? Have you been asked out by Stumpy again?' mother was good at noticing when I was upset or troubled.
'No mother he had backed off since I threatened him. You know why they called the meeting today? You know they called all the doctors in Maine to the conference?'
'Why I do they wanted to discuss surgical advancements,' said mother.
'No, it wasn't just that. They were signing people up for the war,' I said trying to smile. *My life is going to be hell I shouldn't have signed up. I am going to brake her heart and how can I live with out her?*
'Oh dear who signed up?' she asked upset.
'About ten doctors and three nurses.'
'Oh and who are these doctors? My hearts go out to them, they are so brave going over to Korea and saving the good guys,' said mother sympathetically.
'Um you would only no one of those doctors,' I said.
'Oh and who is that?' she asked shocked.
'I did,' I said slowly. *Why did I tell her? She will be so lonely while I'm gone, how could I do this to her she will never be able to forgive me?*
'I beg your pardon?' she asked shocked, 'why on earth would you do that?'
'Mama I had to it was my pride all the Doctors were testing me and saying if I thought I was a good doctor then I should go to war, and that if I was a doctor then I should go, oh mama it was bad but I have to you have to understand,' I said going up to mama's chair and kneeling at her side.
'Oh Tamara, I never brought you up to do things like that, but I never brought you up to let people die and suffer in pain. At least you will be able to help over there, I'm proud of you, you know I am,' said mama nearly in tears, 'I need some sleep your dinner is in the stove.'
*I new I should never have signed up. I'm going to leave mum and then she is going to be lonely here by herself*
I looked out of the window and noticed my elderly doctor neighbour reading a book and watching the sunset; I grabbed my coat and walked out of the house.
'Hello Dr, how are you tonight?' I asked as I sat down at another chair.
'Hello Tamara, I'm fine thank you just catching up on some reading,' said the man, showing her the book. 'The Last of The Mohekans.'
'I came to talk to you, it's important,' I said slowly, '.I've signed up and I'm leaving in two days for basic training.'
'Oh really? Why on earth did you do that?' he asked disappointedly.
'The male doctors were giving me a hard time saying that I should sign up, because we were at a conference, I couldn't stand it,' I said in a monotone type voice. Now I had to tell him why I was really here '...I'm scared about leaving my mum.'
'Would you like me to keep her company while you're gone?' he asked.
I always knew he had a thing for mama now maybe they could bond.
'I would like that a lot,' I said,.
We sat there staring into the sun. We were both thinking the same thing. The doctor never stoped thinking about him. I never really stopped thinking about him either. He was always with me in my thoughts and in my dreams. There wasn't really anything else to be said between us, I finally got enough courage to ask about the thing that was on both of our minds, Benjamin Franklin Pierce, 'How is Hawkeye?'
'He's doing great got a lot of friends over there, he writes as much as he can,' said the old man.
'You get lonely don't you?' I asked.
'Not when I work but at other times I do.'
'I would like you to come to our house tomorrow night mama and I will cook dinner for you,' I said.
'Sure, that sounds great I always liked your mama's apple pie,' said Doctor Daniel Pierce.
'I'm leaving the day after tomorrow and there's so much to do,' I said getting up to leave, 'I'll see you tomorrow Dr. Pierce.'
I got up and left the veranda to go to my childhood house were I had so many memories and so many different adventures. All my family were buried out side in our back yard. I wanted to write a letter to her father, I don't know why but I always wrote letters to father and put them in the box I had next to his grave. Later that night I placed my letter on his grave, with two roses.
19/6/54 Dear Father, It has been so long since I needed to talk to some one. I might not be writing to you anytime soon. I hope that you will be proud of me for what I did.
Oh papa I signed up for the war today. I did it because I wanted to help save people and I want you to be proud of me. You left me here all alone and I didn't know what else to do. So many of our boys are over they're fighting for what is right. I hope that I can help out. But most of all I hope that I will come home alive. Not in a box. I hope when I go over to Korea I won't be stationed to close to the front. I'm scared but I know I will be brave just like you were. I know you will always be with me, day and night.
I hope that you will look after mother for me.
Your daughter Tamara
I put my letter with the rest of them. There were so many of them, one from the day I graduated from primary school, the day I got my appendix out, the day I almost lost my virginity asking for him to forgive me, the day I graduated from high school, the day I graduated from med school, the day I got engaged and the time I asked him what I should do when I found him cheating on me, then the day I broke it off. I wrote to my father and told him of all my important decisions.
I went to her bedroom and fell onto my bed and slowly fell into a daze thinking of what might happen to me. The following day I packed my bag for basic training.
That night mother and I had dinner with Dr. Pierce. It went off quiet well, he never mentioned the talk that we had, I was grateful about that. After the dinner we had coffee, and Dr. Pierce was soon off.
'You better go to bed you have a big day ahead of you.'
I went up to bed that night thinking of how mother was ignoring tomorrow. Mama dealt with things in her own way, ignoring them. Mama didn't talk about me leaving to Dr. Pierce. I couldn't believe that mama was dealing with it this way. I had trouble sleeping that night. Little did I know that my mother was grieving in her own way. My mother came into her baby's room and placed a note and a package into my duffel bag, I knew that she wouldn't and couldn't be there when me her own baby left the next morning.
The following day I woke up and went down stairs with my duffel bag. I couldn't find mama any were. I knew that mama was ignoring today. I got me duffel bag and went out the door. I got into the beeping taxi waiting for me outside to the bus depot were I was being picked up by a bus. Three hours later I had arrived at the camp. I was over run with to many emotions. I was frustrated at my mother, because she wouldn't say goodbye. I wouldn't be seeing her for five weeks. I knew the next five weeks would be hell. When I finally went into the cabin I noticed that I was bunked with three other ladies.
'Hi, I'm Tamara,' I said as I walked into the room and dumped my bag on a spare cot.
'I'm Sam,' said a tall thin lady.
'And I'm Max,' said a medium built lady.
'Shelby,' said a small young girl.
The four of us made small talk. Chatting about were we came from and what we did. They were all nurses and happy that there was a female doctor amongst the male dominated profession.
When I opened my duffel bag I found my mothers package and letter.
Dear baby,
I'm sorry I couldn't be with you when you left this morning, I just couldn't, you are my baby, and it was to hard. Now I know how hard it was for my mother to say goodbye to me when I left for the war. I left you a present my mother gave me one, when I left for war, I know how stressful it is over there, and I hope this will help some how. See you in a month! Love your Mama.
Though it was a short letter it meant a lot to me, my mama did care about me. It seems so petty when I looked back upon it five weeks later. I was right when I said that it would be hell. It was hell if it could be it was worse then hell. But I had other women to help me get through it. I had to crawled under things and I had things shot at my, I had to get up at dawn and I went to bed at 11.00 after doing god knows what, it all seemed like a dream when I got home. I couldn't wait to see my mother. I knew it would be hard for my mother to see me again because she had already said goodbye once.
Three hours later I was home, I didn't really know if I should knock at the door or not. After five minutes of thinking about it I went straight on it and whished I had knocked. I walked in and saw my mother and Dr Pierce kissing. 'Oh god I'm so sorry.'
'Oh darling I didn't expect you home till later this afternoon,' said her mother, thinking it was nothing; they were only kissing, thank god.
'Oh sorry bout that I caught the early bus home,' I said as I put my duffel bag down and hugged mama, I didn't let her go for so long it was like I was a baby again and I needed my mother and if I let her go everything good will go away and everything and will come back again. 'I liked the letters you sent me they were comforting, it was hell there, I don't want to go any more,' I said nearly in tears.
'I think I might go home,' said Dr. Pierce getting up.
'Oh please stay, I need all the gossip,' I said with a smirk. Her mother gave her a playful wack.
The three talked and chatted. It was fun to back in the cove.
