Chapter 8: BJ's Discovery

Hawkeye picked up the phone and dialed BJ's number.

"Margaret, go pick up the extension, and listen in. This is going to be fun!"

A voice on the other line said, "Hello?"

Hawkeye smiled, "Hello, BJ? It's Hawkeye!"

"Hey Hawk! What's up? Anything new?"

His smile widened. "As a matter of fact, I have some big news. Gigantic. Enormous. Colossal. Gargantuan."

"All right, get on with it!"

Hawk laughed and said, "Okay, but you're not going to believe this." He took a deep breath and said, "I'm getting married."

"Wow! You're getting married! That's great! That's surprising, but not unbelievable. Who's the lucky girl?"

"That's the part you're not going to believe. Say hello, darling."

Hawkeye heard Margaret's voice. "Hello BJ!"

There was silence on the other line.

After a few moments, BJ finally spoke. "Was that Margaret?"

He grinned, and said, "Let me ask her. Margaret, was that you?"

"Unless someone changed my name and didn't tell me. Hi BJ, how are you?"

"I can't believe it! You guys are getting married! Hawkeye Pierce and Margaret Houlihan. I was hoping you guys would get together."

"That's the second person to tell me that." Hawkeye said.

BJ laughed. "You never could take a hint."

Hawkeye said in mock anger, "I resent that!" Margaret laughed. "I don't. It's true!"

They laughed, then BJ spoke.

"Well, I'm thrilled for both of you. Hawk, it's about time you settled down. Margaret, I'm glad you finally found someone who will treat you right.'

"Thanks BJ," the two said.

"Well be sending out invitations in a few days. We still have to plan everything."

There was a pause, then BJ said, "Well, why don't Peg, Erin, and I come out and help? I know all about wedding. We could help you with all the details."

"BJ, I couldn't let you do that."

"No, no, I insist. I haven't seen you in a while. Besides, I have a whole bunch of vacation time coming up. I'll use it to go see you."

Hawkeye smiled. "All right, if you insist. It will be good to see you again. And we need all the help we can get, right Margaret?"

"With this guy in the wedding? We need more than help, we need a miracle."

"Why are you two suddenly ganging up against me?" Hawkeye asked.

BJ said, "It's so easy, and so much fun."

They laughed, and then Hawkeye said, "Well, I hate to do this, but we have to go. Lots of stuff to do."

"Okay, Hawkeye. See you soon. I'll call later to make plans for our visit."

"Sounds good. Bye BJ."

"Bye Hawk. Bye Margaret. Congratulations to both of you."

"Thanks BJ" Margaret said.

They all hung up, and Margaret and Hawkeye went to start the plans for their wedding.s
