A Rainy Night

********************

It was one of those nights where you could listen to the rainfall until the end of time. Hearing the pitter-patter of each drop hitting the ground, making its own sound. And that was exactly what Hawkeye was doing that night. Listening to the rainfall. As he lay there, he thought about the past few days, the past few days with the little Korean baby, and how he loved to see Margaret smile, and how her face lit up whenever she baby was in sight. Which was always. Then he thought about how Scarlett had always told him that his true love was the one that he would loathe. She was right. As he thought the rain got harder and he heard thunder, immediately he jumped and woke up BJ.

"Hey Beej, get up."

"I'm sleeping." He whined.

"It's raining."

"So, unless its important, then I want to be left alone."

"There's thunder, and lightening."

"Yeah?" BJ questioned.

"Loud noises, Scarlett and Margaret are both terrified of them."

"Okay, you owe me." BJ got out of bed and pulled on his pants. "I'll take Scarlett, you take Margaret."

"Okay." Hawkeye agreed putting his jacket on. Once both were dressed, they set off to Margaret and Scarlett's tent. They listened inside before knocking.

"I hate this." Margaret cried.

"I know, I hate it too." Scarlett agreed as Hawkeye and BJ walked in.

"Oh, God Margaret, are you all right?" Hawkeye asked rushing to her side, and gathering her into his arms. She buried her face into his chest and started to cry. BJ say by Scarlett who laid her head down on his lap. "It'll be all right. The rain will pass." Hawkeye whispered into Margaret's head.

"They're coming around." Scarlett said with a smile.

"We do good work." BJ smiled as he took off his jacket.

"Thanks for coming. I knew if it rained, hard enough, he would come."

"Yeah, well he dragged me out of bed, for you."

"Thanks, its always good to have someone to lean on. And since you're married, then you're the perfect person." Scarlett teased.

"We're on post-op, should we just leave them?"

"Yeah, it's for the better. Maggie, BJ and I are on post-op duty, we'll see you when he get off okay?" Margaret nodded her head slightly and Scarlett and BJ left. Hawkeye stayed with Margaret until they both fell asleep in each other's arms. Around 9 am Scarlett and BJ walked into the tent to find Hawkeye's arms wrapped around Margaret. They both smiled and walked out.

"You think that this will lead to something?" BJ asked as they walked into the Mess Tent.

"We'll go down to the river, next time its warm enough, then we'll see." Scarlett replied with smile.
