He waited until Margaret and Rose were upstairs before saying anything. "So how much are you going to tell me?"

"As much as I know. Basically you know how much I wrote you about Margaret while we were in Korea?"

"How much you hated her, to how much you love her."

"Exactly."

"Go on."

"Well, I told you about the dinner we had the night before we left. Well after dinner Margaret and I went back to her tent, and well one thing led to another…"

"I get the idea, just don't put a picture in my head."

"Well, the next day after we said goodbye. We left, but she was unpacking and found mom's ring, she met me in Seoul and we parted there. A month later she wrote me, and told me she was now in North Carolina, I wrote her back. But after that we lost touch. So while I was working, she was throwing up. Then when I went to Chicago for that conference, she was there, and we talked for a few minutes, and then she left, but before she left I invited her here. She accepted, and now she's here."

"Oh, so you never knew about Rosie?"

"No, and I'm hurt she didn't tell me. But I understand why."

"Why?"

"She didn't want me to take care of them out of charity. You have to know Margaret I guess."

"I suppose so. How do you feel about being a father?"

"Um, I'm not sure yet. Half of me is scared out of my wits, while the other have is thrilled. But I never thought I would be a father, let alone with the woman I love and loathe more than anything," Hawkeye paused. "Love her more though."

"What do you plan to do?"

"That I don't know yet. I would love her to marry me, but then again she'll think I'm only doing this because of Rosie."

"So you're going to convince, or try to convince her that you love her."

"Yeah, it's gonna take some work. But I'm gonna try."

"You know I'm behind you all the way. Margaret seems like a very nice woman. And you seem to care for her."

"I do. If it wasn't for her, I would have, I don't know what I would have done." Daniel smiled and stood up.

"Well I'm going to head to my office, I'll see you in the morning, or when you come home."

"Okay Dad." Hawkeye smiled as his dad walked out of the living room. Hawkeye sat there, lost in his own thoughts as he stared out the bay window.
