Life With B.J.
Author's note: The characters belong to 20th Century Fox. Any characters made up along the way belong to me.
Mill Valley, March, 1956. B.J. and Peg are expecting their second child and Erin is almost 5. B.J.'s job as chief surgeon at San Francisco General has garnered him an award as most dedicate surgeon of the year, in which he accepted and dedicated it to his father and his late grandfather for encouraging and inspiring him in his medical career. One of B.J.'s colleagues is Anthony Borelli, who visited the 4077 twice during the Korean War.
B.J.'s parents are Beatrice and Jacob Hunnicutt and they live in Mill Valley along with his sister, Barbara Joyce. Peg's parents, Floyd and Virginia Hayden, live in Tulsa, Oklahoma. B.J.'s biggest hobby is tinkering with motorcycles.
B.J. was on holidays while working on his motorcycle. Peg was playing with Erin in the house as she hollers out to her husband, "Honey, aren't you coming in for breakfast? You can't spend all of your holidays's tinkering around!"
"In a minute, Peg! I'm just putting a new seat on the bike." answered B.J.
B.J. finishes what he's doing and joins his wife, who's five months pregnant, and Erin.
"Daddy, why are your hands dirty?" asked Erin
"Well, Erin, daddy's fixing his motorcycle for a ride." answered B.J.
"B.J., maybe we could go into town to pick up a few baby things and take Erin out for supper." said Peg
"Sounds great, we could do that this evening, if you feel up to it!" answered B.J.
"I'm always up to it, this pregnancy's been easy this time!" replied Peg
"After I finish eating, I'll take my bike out for a test ride." said B.J.
"B.J., please be careful, I don't want you to get hurt. I don't want to be a widow and single mother at such a young age!" said Peg
"Please, daddy, listen to mommy!" said Erin
"Okay, okay, I'll wear my helmet, but not before I give my two favorite girls a kiss!" said B.J.
"Bye daddy!" said Erin
"Bye honey!" said B.J.
B.J. changes into his leather outfit and grabs his helmet and safety boots before getting onto his bike. He's flying high in Mill Valley passing everything in sight on the motorcycle.
Peg is pacing back and forth waiting for B.J. to come back from his test ride, which he should have been back an hour ago. The phone rings and Peg runs over to answer it.
"Hello?" said Peg
"Hello, is this Mrs. Hunnicutt?" asked the other person
"Yes it is, may I ask who's calling?" asked Peg
"This is San Francisco General Hospital. Dr. Hunnicutt has been in a motorcycle accident." answered the nurse
"Oh my god, is he alright?" asked Peg
"There aren't many details. The doctors are examining him right now." said the nurse
"I'm on my way, thanks for calling!" said Peg
"You're quite welcome." said the nurse
Peg hangs up the phone and gets Erin bundled up to take to B.J.'s parents house while she goes to the hospital and explained to his parents what happened to their son. She arrives at the hospital in no time and approaches the info desk.
"Excuse me, I'm Peg Hunnicutt. Is there any information on my husband, Dr. B.J. Hunnicutt?" asked Peg
"Mrs. Hunnicutt, the doctor will speak with you in a few moments. He can explain his condition more than I can." answered the nurse
"Thank you." replied Peg
Peg sits in the waiting room while waiting for the doctor. She feels the baby move for the first time. A man in a white lab coat approaches her.
"Mrs. Hunnicutt?" asked the man
"Dr. Borelli, it's good to see you again. Did you happen to see my husband, he was in a motorcycle accident." said Peg
"I have, I worked on Dr. Hunnicutt when they brought him in." said Dr. Borelli
"How is he?" asked Peg
"He has a concussion and a few scratches and bruises here and there. Luckily, there were no broken bones or any internal bleeding." answered Dr. Borelli
"Does that mean he's going to be alright?" asked Peg
"Well, we'll be keeping him here for a few days for observation of his concussion, but he should be good as new!" answered Dr. Borelli
"That's wonderful, I'll have to let his parents know about his condition when I call them after. Do you know what caused the accident, Dr. Borelli? I keep worrying about him being on the motorcycle thinking something like this would happen!" said Peg
"From what the witnesses reported, your husband hit a pothole on the road and landed in the ditch. If he hadn't have worn his helmet, he probably would have had more serious head injuries." answered Dr. Borelli
"Can I go see him?" asked Peg
"Of course, but I should warn you, he may be a little groggy from the medication we gave him for his headache." answered Dr. Borelli
Peg first stops to call B.J.'s parents on his condition. Then, Peg and Dr. Borelli enter B.J.'s hospital room where he lay in bed with a bandage wrapped around his forehead as cuts and bruises covered his body.
"B.J., it's me, Peg. You're going to be just fine!" said Peg
"Peg, why does my head hurt so much?" asked B.J.
"You had a motorcycle accident. You hit a pothole in the road and landed in the ditch on your head. You were lucky that you were wearing your helmet." said Dr. Borelli
"Where's Erin?" asked B.J.
"Erin's with Barbara Joyce and your parents. I told them about the accident." said Peg
"Peg, since I survived this, I am never going for a motorcycle ride again because it would upset you and Erin and I want my new baby to have a dad around." said B.J.
"Dr. Hunnicutt, you don't have to give up something you love just because of this happening. You just have to be more careful the next time around. By the way, I've been meaning to ask you what Hawkeye Pierce has been up to these days? You know that I was quite fond of him when I was in Korea." said Dr. Borelli
"Oh, he's practicing family medicine and general surgery in Crabapple Cove, Maine. He still lives with his father and he's been married for four years to Margaret Houlihan, the head nurse of the 4077. They have three year old twins, Maggie and Ben, and they're growing by the minute. Hawkeye and Margaret call me every weekend." said B.J.
"What about the rest of the 4077?" asked Dr. Borelli
"Charles Winchester married a young girl named Cathy Jo Barnes about two years ago. They have two children, Jessica Isabella is almost two and Jeffery Charles is two months old. They live in Boston along with Trapper John MacIntyre and his family. They're very close, they all vacation together." said Peg
"Sherman and Mildred Potter live in Hannibal, Missouri, and he's retired from the army. Radar O'Reilly married Patty Haven and they live in Ottumwa, Iowa, with Radar's mother, Edna, and their one month old daughter, Maria Ruth. Max Klinger married Soon Lee Hahn and they live in River Bend, Missouri with their boys, Max Jr. is almost two and Michael Amos is two months old. Father Francis Mulcahy also lives in River Bend, Missouri. Both Frank Burns and Henry Blake are dead." said B.J.
"I think you need your rest after that update!" said Dr. Borelli
"Dr. Borelli's right. I'll come by tomorrow with Erin and your parents and your sister. Bye now!" said Peg as she kissed B.J.'s forehead
"Bye honey!" said B.J.
The next four months passed by like nothing. B.J. stopped riding motorcycles ever since the accident. Peg grew bigger and bigger each day. Erin was getting impatient waiting for the baby to come. No one would ever guess that B.J. was in an accident because he's still the same person as he was before. B.J. and Peg threw a birthday party for Erin for her fifth birthday, where Aunt Barbara Joyce and the grandparents were there. Barbara Joyce was tall like her older brother, but she had hazel eyes and brown hair like Beatrice. B.J. was a spitting image of Jacob, only Jacob had white hair.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Erin, happy birthday to you!" sang Barbara Joyce
"Erin, now blow out the candles and make a wish, but don't tell us what you wish for!" said Beatrice
"Let's eat cake!" said Erin after she blew out the candles
Just then, Peg was feeling contractions. She quickly asked for B.J.
"Peg, what's wrong, is it the baby?" asked Jacob
"Uh huh, where's B.J.?" asked Peg
"He's in the garage getting Erin's new bike!" said Barbara Joyce
"I'll get him for you!" replied Beatrice
Beatrice goes out to the garage to find B.J. carrying out the bike.
"B.J., come quick, Peg's having contractions!" said Beatrice
"I'm coming in anyway, mom. Could you help me with the bike?" asked B.J.
"Sure thing!" replied Beatrice
They come back into the house to find Peg lying down on the couch and Jacob timing the contractions.
"Daddy, what's wrong with mommy?" asked Erin
"Erin, sweetie, mommy's having the baby!" answered B.J.
"Oh boy, my wish came true. I get my brother or sister today!" said Erin
"How are you doing, honey?" asked B.J.
"Oh B.J., I think we better get to the hospital quick!" said Peg
"She's right! Son, help me get her up off the couch and get her into the car." said Jacob
Just as B.J. and Jacob help Peg to the car with her suitcase, Peg's water breaks.
"B.J., we better hurry, my water just broke!" said Peg
"Don't worry, everything will be just fine!" replied B.J.
B.J. and Peg get into the car while Beatrice, Jacob, and Barbara Joyce stay behind with Erin. They drive along the road when they see a roadblock because of road construction.
"Rats, there's a road detour and I have to go back to the other road to get to the hospital." said B.J.
"B.J., I don't think I'm going to make it to the hospital!" said Peg
"Relax, Peg, we'll get there in time!" replied B.J.
"Oh, I don't think so, I feel like I need to push!" answered Peg
B.J. pulls off to the side of the road and parks the car. He runs over to Peg's side and helps her lie down in the backseat.
"Oh, it's happening so fast!" said Peg
"Peg, I'm a doctor, remember! I delivered many babies before." said B.J.
"Yes, but never any of our own." answered Peg
"There's a first time for everything. Luckily, I packed my medical bag in the car just in case. Now, I'm just going to clean my hands with alcohol and I'll check to see how far along you're dilating." said B.J.
B.J. cleaned his hands and removed all restrictive clothing off of Peg and lifts up her dress to see the head crowning.
"Peg, you're right, the head's right there. You can push now." said B.J.
"Oh, it really hurts!" said Peg as she was pushing
"Peg, you're doing great. Just one more push and I'll get the rest of the baby out." answered B.J.
"Ooh, ooh!" said Peg as she was still pushing
"Peg, it's a boy! I finally have a son! He's really big and has such healthy lungs!" said B.J. as he holds his new son
B.J. wraps his new son in a receiving blanket and cuts the umbilical cord as the new baby cries. He hands him to Peg.
"B.J., he's so handsome, just like you!" said Peg
"Do you think so?" asked B.J.
"Of course, he's got your looks and Erin's got mine!" answered Peg
"Well, we better give our son a name. Do you have anything picked out?" asked B.J.
"I like Adam Floyd Hunnicutt myself." answered Peg
"Me too. Adam, this is your mommy and daddy." said B.J.
B.J. and Peg arrive at the hospital with Adam in her arms. Erin comes along later with B.J.'s parents and sister to meet her little brother.
"Erin, would you like to hold your new brother?" asked Peg
"Yes, mommy!" said Erin
Peg watches as Erin holds Adam in her arms.
"Oh, B.J., I just hope that they get along when they get older. You know, they now share the same birthday, we'll have to double the presents." said Peg
"Mommy, thanks for the birthday present. I was hoping I would get a brother like Adam." answered Erin
"You'll have to thank daddy for your new bike." replied Peg
"Thanks for the bike, daddy, and I promise to help mommy out with Adam." said Erin
"I think it's wonderful that you want to help out with Adam." answered B.J.
"I love everyone in this room!" said Peg
"So do I" replied B.J.
B.J. and Peg spent all of their free time doting to Erin and Adam. They talked to the rest of the 4077 members on the phone to announce Adam's birth and they also phoned Peg's relatives in Oklahoma. All is well in Mill Valley.
