Author Comments: Yah! I don't completly stink at writing! Thanks to all who reviewed. Here's Chapter 3. Unfortunatly, I'm going on vacation for the Fourth of July weekend, all other chapters will have to wait until I get back. Sorry. On to the story!

Before too long, they were pulling into Crabapple Cove, Maine.

It's just like Hawk described it, thought BJ.

They pulled into Hawkeye's driveway and they all got out and BJ and Peg got their kids out of the child seats. Then the door to the house opened and Danny came out, grinning and running toward them when he saw his father.

"Daddy!"

"Hey there, Bud!" Hawkeye caught the running 3-year-old and swung him up towards the sky, causing shrieks of laughter to come from Danny, before pulling him close for a hug.

"Did you have a good nap?" asked Hawkeye.

"Uh-huh." said Danny.

Hawkeye turned toward BJ and Peg, who were now standing behind him, and said, "BJ, Peg, this is my son Danny. Danny, this is Uncle BJ and Aunt Peg."

Danny put his head against his father's chest, but didn't bury his face. Instead, he looked at them. Then he looked at Hawkeye.

"Daddy, that Uncle BJ?"

"That's right buddy."

Danny then smiled a gave a wave to BJ, still being too shy to actually talk to him. But he had heard his father talk to or about BJ quite a bit, so he wasn't totally shy. BJ smiled and waved back.

"Hi little guy." he said, "You look an awful lot like your Daddy."

"Well, let's get inside." said Hawkeye with a grin.

"Where's everyone staying?" asked BJ as they walked toward the house.

"Well," said Hawkeye, "We have 4 rooms upstairs, three of which are usually used. But for the reunion, two of the rooms will be used for the kids, and the rest of the upstairs will be used, however they want to use it, by the women. We'll sleep downstairs with blankets."

"Well, the floor has to be better than Army cots."

"Got that right!"

As they walked in, Peg said, "This house is beautiful."

"BJ!" came a squeal, and suddenly Margaret was there giving BJ a big hug. "It's so good to see you!" Then she saw Peg and the kids. "You must be Peg. I'm Margaret. Nice to meet you."

"It's nice to finally meet you, too." said Peg with a smile.

"Margaret, this is Erin, Ben, and Katy." said BJ, introducing his kids.

"Pictures don't do you guys justice!" said Margaret, "You're all so big!"

Erin and Ben laughed, but Katy kept her head buried in her mother's shoulder. She had come out of the shell a little on the car ride from the airport, actually talking to Hawkeye. But now, confronted with more new people, she was shy again.

Margaret ushered them all into the living room. "This is Anna." said Margaret, picking up the 1-year-old who had crawled as fast as she could over to them. She saw Hawkeye, and made some excited gestures and noises that before too long she would be able to make into words.

Margaret laughed, "Yes, I know Daddy's home. Do you want to see him?"

Anna reached for her father, so Margaret and Hawkeye traded kids.

"Hey there, baby girl. How've you been?" Hawkeye asked her.

BJ smiled at Anna. "I don't believe this. First Danny looks like Hawkeye, now Anna looks like Margaret!" The group had a hardy laugh, then all settled onto the sofa and chairs to talk and really catch up, and so Hawk and Margaret could get to know Peg and vice versa.

Eventually, all the kids had fallen asleep, they looked at the time and decided they had better call it a night. Hawkeye was going to pick everyone else except Frank about 9 am, so he would leave at 8 and be back by 10. They all were staying for 3 days, counting tomorrow. Tomorrow would be Friday, and everyone was coming on Friday and leaving late on Sunday. BJ had decided that he wanted to go with Hawkeye to see everybody again as quickly as possible, and so he could drive the other van Hawkeye had rented since it was going to take two vans to get everyone back. Peg had volunteered to watch the kids so Margaret could go, too. Frank hadn't said how he was going to get there, only that he would be at Hawkeye's house at about 11. So that would give everybody an hour before he arrived.

The next morning BJ, Hawkeye, and Margaret set off, BJ and Hawk each driving a van and Margaret riding with Hawkeye. They arrived at the airport a little early, but not too early. Potter was the first to arrive.

"Pierce, is that you son?"

"Yes, Colonel! How've ya been?"

"Great, retirements just fine, but I'm not a colonel anymore so call me either Sherman or Potter."

"Fair enough, Sherm." said Hawkeye. "I'm sure you recognize these two." he gestured toward Margaret and BJ.

"Hunnicut! Margaret! How good to see you!" Potter pulled them both in for a hug. "When did you get here?"

"I got here yesterday." said BJ.

Potter looked at Margaret. She carefully answered, "I was here yesterday as well." It wasn't lying, yet it lead Potter to believe that she had gotten here yesterday along with BJ. Hawkeye flashed Margaret a grin from behind Potter at her answer, to which she smiled back.

Margaret turned to the woman with Potter. "You must be Mildred. Sherman has told us so much about you."

"And he has told me all about you as well." Mildred returned with a smile, taking Margaret's hand. "He's very fond of you all."

"We know." said Hawkeye, then a grin split his face as he called, "Trap! Over here!"

Trapper, along with his wife Louise and daughters Kathy and Becky, walked over.

"Hawk! How ya doing?"

"Great! You?"

"Just fine!"

The two laughed and hugged, then Trapper said, "Louise, Kathy, Becky, this is Hawkeye Pierce, bonafide lunatic. Margaret Houlihan (Hawkeye and Margaret shared an amused look at the name), also known as 'Hot Lips'…"

"It's Margaret now, Trap." interrupted Hawkeye.

Trapper looked slightly taken aback but continued, "I don't know you two." he said, motioning to Potter and BJ.

"Oh, this is Colonel Potter, now Sherman Potter." said Hawkeye, "He replaced Henry. And this is BJ Hunnicut, your replacement."

"Nice to meet you." Trapper greeted. Just then BJ said, "Hawk, I think I see Radar. And Klinger! RADAR! KLINGER! Over here!"

The two came over.

"Hey everyone!" said Klinger excitedly, "What's going on?"

"Hey guys!" said Radar.

There were hugs and introductions all around as everyone arrived. BJ announced that everyone would have to wait until they got home to meet Peg and the family that they had heard so much about during the war, much to their disappointment. Finally, they all piled into the vans, Margaret, Trapper and his family, Radar and Patty, and Father Mulcahy in with Hawkeye and the Potters, Klingers, Sidney, and Charles in with BJ.

"Is Burns coming?" Potter asked BJ as they drove.

"Yep. He's just coming a little later. He'll be at Hawkeye's about 11."

Potter nodded. Everyone in both vans caught up until they arrived at Hawkeye's. The kids came out, BJ's kids wanting to see their father and the Pierce children wanting to see both their parents. Hawkeye picked up Danny and Margaret picked up Anna, and they waited until BJ had finished introducing his family.

"Everybody this is my wife Peg and daughter Erin, who you've all heard about. And this is my son Ben and youngest daughter Katy."

BJ introduced everybody to Peg and the kids, then everybody seemed to notice that Hawkeye and Margaret were holding children.
