Chapter Seven: Phone Calls
"Where is my address book?" Hawkeye mused as he searched his desk for the book. "I just had it here yesterday!'
Margaret shook her head in amusement. "This is as bad as the Swamp!"
Hawkeye shrugged and said, "Well, I never said-" He broke off and smiled triumphantly. "Here it is!" Hawkeye held up a blue book!
Margaret laughed and said, "Finally!"
Hawkeye just looked at her and stuck his tongue out at her. She swatted him and laughed.
"Okay, who should we call first?" Hawkeye said mischievously.
Margaret though a moment, then smiled. "What about Colonel Potter?"
Hawkeye nodded vigorously, and began to flip through his book. After a moment of searching he said, "Here it is!"
He reached for the phone and dialed. After a few moments he smiled.
"Hello, Colonel Potter?
A grumpy voice said, "You better have a darned good excuse for interrupting my poker game!"
Hawkeye laughed and said, "Colonel, it's me. Hawkeye Pierce."
"Pierce! Well, this is a surprise! How are you doing! Haven't spoken to you in a while. How have you been?"
"Well, I have some great news. You're never going to believe it."
He glanced at Margaret, who was trying not to laugh.
"Well, what is it? Get on with it!"
"I'm getting married!'
There was silence on the other end.
"Colonel? You still there?" Hawkeye asked.
"Married? That's great! Who's the lucky gal?"
Hawkeye grinned. "Colonel, you're never going to believe me when I tell you."
"Try me, son."
"Okay, but remember I said that. I'm getting married to a certain major in a certain army that served in a certain Mash unit in a certain country during a certain war."
There was a pause while the colonel processed that, then he erupted.
"Are you talking about Margaret?"
"Yep. The one and only."
"Mule muffins! I always though you two should get together, but you were too stubborn to admit it! Yahoo!!"
Hawkeye laughed, then said, "Colonel, I'm going to put Margaret on."
With that he handed the phone over to Margaret.
"Hello Colonel," she said. She smiled, then said, "Yes, it's true."
Hawkeye smiled.
"When is the wedding?" She glanced at Hawkeye, who shrugged.
"We don't really know yet, Colonel. We just officially got engaged about a half hour ago."
She listened for a few moments, and said, "We'll tell you how it happened at the wedding. We're inviting most everyone from the 4077th, and some family friends. That's about all we know."
She listened for a few more minutes, then said, "It was good to talk to you again too, Colonel. I know we haven't spoken in a long time. Okay, I'll put Hawkeye back on. Bye Colonel."
She handed the phone back to Hawkeye.
"Hello again, Colonel."
"I just wanted to tell you to take good care of her. She's been like a daughter to me. I don't want her getting hurt again. I know you wouldn't do it on purpose, but-"
Hawkeye interrupted him. "You don't have a thing to worry about. She means more than anything to me. I never though I would see her again, and now that I've found her, I'm not letting her go."
"That's good. I'm glad you finally found someone to settle down with, Pierce, especially a woman like Margaret. I've always thought you two would make a good pair."
Hawkeye smiled. 'So have I, Colonel."
"Well, Pierce, I hope to see a wedding invitation in the mail soon."
He laughed. "You can count on it Colonel. I'll let you go. I've got more calls to make." He smiled mischievously.
"Bye Hawkeye."
"Bye Colonel."
"Oh, Hawkeye?"
"Yes?"
"We're not at war anymore, and you're not in the army. Call me Sherm."
"Hawkeye smiled. "Okay. Goodbye Sherm.
"Goodbye Hawkeye."
Hawkeye hung up the phone.
"Well, that's one down, a whole bunch more to go."
Margaret smiled, then asked quietly.
"Hawkeye"
"Yes?"
"Did you mean what you said, when you were talking to Colonel Potter?"
He knew what she meant, and immediately answered, "Every word."
She smiled and kissed him. After they broke apart, she asked, "Well, who should we call next?"
Hawkeye said immediately, "BJ."
"Ooh, this is going to be fun."
He smiled evilly. "You bet it is."
