OH4H: Sorry it took so long! Been busy busy!The one thing I love about posting a new chapter is the new reviews that come with it, the more reviews I get the faster I am to update so obey the 3 R's. Read Review and…oh I guess there's only two…
Nurse Able walked into the nurses' quarters and collapsed on her bunk, completely exhausted.
"Is it just me or is Major Houlihan making our shifts longer?" she asked her fellow nurses, stretching.
"Actually I think she is, my shifts used to be two hours now they're more like two and a half." Kelley looked up from the book she was reading.
"She might just be slipping and making some mistakes," said Baker.
"Major Houlihan? I don't think so…" Kelley began to protest but Able interrupted her.
"No wait, I think Baker's on to something. When she came to relieve me she had a note pinned to her shirt, she didn't even see it until I pointed it out to her!"
"What did it say?" Baker and Kelley leaned forward to hear what the note had read…
Meanwhile
"Well Margaret if you remember anything you certainly aren't showing it," Hawkeye felt like he was on a frozen pond during spring, it might be perfectly safe or it might be thin.
Little did Hawkeye know Margaret was feeling the same way he was. All through their shift in Post Op together, they had been dropping subtle hints, trying to figure out what the other knew. Unfortunately they missed each other's hints and went through the shift uncomfortably and worried.
If anyone around them knew the whole story, they would laugh themselves unconscious. Hawkeye and Margaret tiptoed around each other like a couple of 10 year olds with crushes on each other.
Margaret sat at the far end of Post Op doing paper work while Hawkeye played cards with one of the leg wound patients. She stopped writing for a moment and stretched, she was tired and her back was killing her, she looked over at Hawkeye, who was telling his opponent that as his doctor he had the power to prescribe sponge baths as payment instead of money.
" Would it really be so bad if he had a note too? What's the harm in letting him know? What am I thinking! Smarten up Margaret, look at your track record, you're batting 0 for how many now?" Margaret shook her head and went back to her paper work, while Hawkeye glanced over at her.
" She's gorgeous when she's tired." He smiled slowly.
"Hey doc, you got something going on with that nurse, or are you just trying to distract me so you can cheat?" asked the grinning patient before him.
"Don't be ridiculous!" Hawkeye said looking sternly at the patient. "If I was going to cheat I'd have done it before I lost twenty bucks."
