She walked through the kitchen to go out back when she was taken hold of. "Hi." She said as the hands went around her waist.
"Hi." Hawkeye said kissing her neck.
"Hawk, we need to talk."
"Yeah sure." He replied letting off her neck. "What about?"
"Us." She said, then they walked out and sat on the hammock.
"What about us?"
"Rose and I leave in a week."
"Do you have to?"
"I have a job, Rose has her friends."
"Then I'm coming with you."
"I can't let you do that. You have your life here."
"Then move here, you can work with Dad. Grace is thinking of retiring anyway. And Caitlin could watch Rose, she would love Caitlin. The while Caitlin is at school, Hannah would love to watch her. You can stay with is till we get married."
"It's not that simple."
"What do you mean?"
"If you haven't noticed, Rose hasn't referred to you as anything. I'm afraid that she wont accept you."
"She'll come around, wont she?"
"Rose is a lot like me, she might and I emphasis might come around. She holds all her feeling inside walls."
"Just like you."
"Just like me. And it's scary sometimes. That's why I'm afraid she wont open up to you."
"I can see your dilemma. But you came around, and for that matter I'm glad."
"That's true. I did come around. But she's different. Rose has you in her."
"And that changes things doesn't it?"
"Very much so. She may be the picture perfect chubby two-year-old, but she's well…"
"Rose is a little girl, that holds everything in."
"That's right."
"Well she'll come around, I promise. And I never once in my life broke a promise, and I'm not about to start."
"Thank you. That means a lot to me." Margaret said lying her head on her shoulder. Hawkeye smiled and placed a kiss on the side of her head, then wrapping his arms around her. "Hawkeye?"
"Yeah?"
"I love you."
"I love you too baby." He smiled, then placing a kiss on her lips. Margaret kissed him back then pulled away. She smiled at him and laid her head back on his shoulder, and closed her eyes.
