So, I hope you like this chapter!!!!!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hawkeye and Margaret decided to have the wedding back in Crabapple Cove, where Hawkeye had grown up. He said that the people there would never forgive him if he didn't have it there. Margaret had no problem with it, she was happy to see where Hawkeye had grown up. They stayed at Hawkeye's childhood house.
They sent out the invitations, but intentionally neglected to put Hawkeye's name on. That way, when everyone got there, they wouldn't know she was marrying Hawkeye, and they would surprise them with it.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ A few days later, BJ arrived with Peg and Erin.
"Hawkeye, go answer the door," Margaret said when the doorbell rang.
Hawkeye walked over to the door, and opened it. A smile spread across his face.
"BJ!" He exclaimed.
"Hi Hawkeye!"
They hugged and grinned at each other.
Then BJ said, "Hawk, this is Peg, and that little cutie pie over there is Erin."
Hawkeye smiled. "Hi Peg. I fell like I already know you, I heard so much about you from BJ."
Peg smiled back. "Same here, Hawkeye."
Hawkeye knelt down next to Erin.
"Hi sweetie. I'm your Uncle Hawkeye."
Erin just giggled and hid behind her mother.
BJ said, "She's always a little shy around new people. She'll open up."
Hawkeye grinned, "Most women do."
Margaret came up behind him and smacked him on the arm.
"Idiot," she muttered.
"Takes one to know one," Hawkeye said childishly.
BJ interrupted, "Hi Margaret."
"Hi BJ. Long time no see."
They hugged, and Hawkeye said, 'OK, come on in, sit down."
When they were all seated, BJ said, "I'm so happy for you two. I was wondering when you two would get together. Then, the war ended, and you went your separate ways."
"And then we met again here." Margaret finished
"How did you two meet? Hawkeye hasn't told me.." BJ said.
"I had been transferred to the hospital where Margaret was head nurse. I was lost in one of the halls, and she found me and have me directions."
Margaret picked up the story. "We started going to lunch together, but as friends. Or so we thought. Finally, one day, we decided we would become a couple. We went out, and then one day, Hawkeye proposed."
'And you know the rest." Hawkeye finished.
BJ nodded and smiled. Then Peg asked,
"I can see that you two are very much in love, but when BJ wrote home, he talked sometimes about how you two would fight or play tricks on each other. How did you go from that to this?"
Hawkeye and Margaret looked at each other. Hawkeye spoke first.
"I did fight with Margaret. And I did play tricks on her. Before you were arrived, and Trapper was there, if you had said Margaret and I would get together, I would have laughed at you. A lot of people would have said we hated each other." Hawkeye paused, gathered his thoughts, then continued.
"I never hated Margaret. It was just fun to annoy her. Actually, I only really played tricks on her because of Frank. It was kind of like a two-for- one package. I couldn't stand frank, but I never hated Margaret. We weren't friends, at least," Hawkeye added, "Not then. Then, for some reason, we got closer. Margaret loosened up a little, and I settled down a little more. We had that effect on each other."
Hawkeye smiled at Margaret, and she grinned back. He squeezed her hand, then went on.
"Then, when Margaret left Donald, I helped her through it. That bastard broke her heart."
Margaret nodded. "He's right. When Donald cheated on me, it really hurt me. Hawkeye found me one night, crying, and he made me tell him what was wrong. From that moment on, he always helped me. We got to be good friends. He became my best friend."
"Mine too." Hawkeye said.
Then BJ spoke up. "those two knuckleheads were in love. The whole camp could see it."
"They could?" Hawkeye questioned.
"You were just too dense to see it. Anyway, everyone knew they would be perfect together, but nothing happened. Until that goodbye kiss." BJ said mischievously.
Hawkeye laughed. "That was some kiss, wasn't it?"
BJ nodded. "The day the war ended, and everyone went home, we were the last ones left. Me, Hawkeye, Margaret, and Charles. Margaret was getting ready to leave. Potter said goodbye, I said goodbye, then it was Hawkeye's turn. All of the sudden, these to kiss. That was a long kiss, I tell you. Finally, they broke apart, and Margaret drove off."
"And we didn't see each other again until that day at the hospital," Margaret finished.
"Exactly." BJ confirmed.
The group sat and talked for a while. Then, when it got late, Peg put Erin to bed, and everyone else went off to sleep.
Margaret sat with Peg at the table. It was a week before the wedding, and Margaret had been waiting to ask Peg if she would be her matron of honor. Even though she didn't know her that well, she still felt close to the woman.
"Peg?" Margaret asked.
"Yeah Margaret?"
"Even though I've only known you, in person, for about a week, I feel like I've known you for years. I heard so much about you from BJ, even when I first met you, I felt like I knew you."
Peg beamed. "I felt the same way, Margaret. BJ wrote home about all the people at the camp, including you. I felt the same way."
Margaret smiled back. "Well, I was wondering, even though we've only just met, if you would be my matron of honor."
Peg gasped. "Are you sure? I mean, isn't there someone from your family you'd rather have do it?"
Margaret shook her head. "You're the best person I could think of."
"In that case, I'd be honored, Margaret.'
The two women smiled at each other. Meantime, Hawkeye was in a similar situation.
Hawk and BJ were sitting outside, reminiscing about the fun times they had had at the 4077th. That is, fun times in between session of wounded.
"Remember the time when we stole Margaret's tent?" Hawkeye said, laughing.
BJ started laughing, and nodded. "how could I forget? She saw all the things inside the tent, but the tent wasn't there!"
"Then she took that pillow and beat the stuffing out of it with us!"
BJ was laughing hysterically. "Then who should pull up-"
"But that infamous general." Hawkeye finished between chuckles.
As their laughter died down, Hawkeye looked at BJ.
"We sure did have some fun, didn't we Beej?"
BJ nodded. "We sure did."
Hawkeye continued, "When Trapper left, I was crushed. My best friend had left, without even a goodbye. Nothing. I was angry and unhappy."
During this, BJ had been quiet.
"But then, I met you. Since we first spoke, we got along great." Hawkeye laughed, and added, "Then of course, there was the drive back to the 4077th to break the ice."
BJ chuckled. "Nothing like mortar fire and snipers to break the ice between two people, right?"
Hawkeye laughed, then said, "What I'm trying to say is, if you hadn't come, I think I would've gone crazy in that hellhole. You're like a brother to me. You're my best friend. Yes, even better than Trapper was," he added, reading BJ's mind.
BJ smiled and said, "You're like a brother to me, too, Hawk.
"Well, I was wondering, would you like to be my best man in the wedding?"
BJ's smile widened as he said, "I would love to, Hawkeye."
Hawkeye nodded in satisfaction. "Good"
The two sat in silence for a few moments until Hawkeye said, "Did you know Margaret is going to ask Peg to be her matron of honor?"
"Really?"
Hawkeye nodded. "Do you think Peg will accept?"
"I know she will. Peg says even though they've only met, she feels like she's known Margaret for a while."
"Margaret fells the same way about Peg."
After a few moments, Hawkeye said, "Well, shall we get back to the ladies before they think we've been kidnapped?"
"Sure, let's go."
So, they got up and drove back to the house.
A/N: SO, what do you think? I'll try and write the next chapter as soon as possible. To tell you the truth, I'm losing interest in this story, so my apologies if these chapters aren't as good. If you review, maybe I'll be inspired to post sooner and write better!!!!! :D
