Maybe Tonight

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

"Be good." Scarlett teased Hawkeye and Margaret. Her and BJ were off to a conference, and she offered to go, and decided to drab BJ along to give Margaret and Hawkeye time alone.

"We will." Hawkeye smiled.

"Drive safe." Margaret instructed BJ giving Scarlett a hug.

"I'm not driving, that's a man job." BJ teased.

"And that would make you?" Scarlett asked with a sly grin.

"Got yourself stuck in a corner, eh Beej?"

"Yep. We should get going. We'll see you in two days."

"Okay. Bye," Hawkeye waved.

"Buh-bye." Scarlett said in a whiny voice.

"Buh-bye." Margaret and Hawkeye waved mocking her voice.

"Bye," She waved with a laugh as they drove away. Margaret and Hawkeye waved as their friends drove off. After they were out of sight, the two walked back into Margaret and Scarlett's tent. Where Hawkeye immediately sat down on her cot.

"Can you believe, we finally have the place to ourselves?" Hawkeye asked pulling Margaret onto his lap.

"I know." Margaret agreed wrapping her arms around his neck. Hawkeye smiled and leaned into kiss her. Margaret deepened the kiss leaning into Hawkeye. Hawkeye rolled back on the cot dragging Margaret down with him. His hands slipped under her shirt and up her back. Margaret unbuckled his pants.

Afterwards Margaret lay between Hawkeye's legs leaning against his chest, as he played with her hair between his fingers.

"You know what?" Margaret asked/

"What?"

"You're a great person to cuddle into to."

"Scarlett said that too. She said I'm like a big teddy bear."

"You are." Margaret agreed with a smile.

"Why thank you."

"You know what else."

"What else?"

"I'm on post-op duty."

"You better get dressed then."

"I should."

"I'll help." He quickly offered. Margaret smiled and lay back down.

"You should take a shower, you smell."

"I wonder why?" He asked with a smile. Margaret smiled and kissed him.

"Pass me my clothes would you?"

"Naw, you can get them, I'll just lay here and watch."

"Get up!" Margaret demanded pulling him up.

"Fine, I'll help you get dressed." He said taking her into his arms again. About 15 minutes later Margaret finally got dressed ad headed off to post-op. That night when she came back, she found Hawkeye sitting with a single lily.

"Hi." She smiled.

"Hi. I decided you needed this." He said handing her the lily.

"Thank you."

"You are very welcome." Margaret smiled and gave him a hug.

"Let's go to a movie, Red and Beej are commin back in the morning."

"Okay, let me get changed."

"All right." Hawkeye smiled devilishly, as he started to take off Margaret's shirt.

"Pick a sweater would you?" She asked gesturing to her footlocker.

"I think, I think, I think you need to wear the black one!" Hawkeye said pulling it out. Margaret smiled; she knew how much he loved that sweater. After he helped her put the sweater on, she looked at him. "What?"

"I just realized, we moved past the friendship level."

"We did, do you want to go back?"

"Not in your life?" Margaret smiled wrapping her arms around in neck and giving him a kiss.

"I love you."

"I love you too." Margaret smiled. "Come on, Casablanca is playing."

"Red's second favorite movie."

"Gone With The Wind, is number one." Margaret said taking his hand and walking out of her tent. After the movie, they went back to her tent and crawled into bed. Hawkeye wrapped his arm around Margaret's waist and tickled her stomach gently. The two fell asleep around 1 Am in each other's arms.

5AM

"We're home." Scarlett said tiredly.

"Yeah." BJ agreed, climbing out of the jeep. He bent down and picked up Scarlett's bag. "Come on I'll drop this off for you so we can get some sleep."

"Thanks." Scarlett smiled and they walked over to her tent. She opened the door, and walked to find Hawkeye holding Margaret, as they slept. She turned to BJ and smiled. "How bout I bunk with you?" She whispered.

"Good idea." BJ smiled. His two friends, had finally found each other.
