What Fun We Have

Late in the evening in Bridgeport Connecticut; a mother and her adopted daughter were sitting on the porch of the mother's home. The mother had not seen her daughter in many years, and was happy to see her again. Both women talked about what all had happened over the years; of not seeing each other. The conversation soon turned to ones adopted son and brother. The mother told her daughter that their soldier boy was in Germany. When the mother had said that their soldier boy was in a prisoner of war camp; the daughter showed fear on her face. She had heard about all different things about the camps over in Germany. The prisoners of war were not treated very well. Some had been killed, and/or beaten to death. As the daughter looked to the side with worry shining in her eyes; her mother could see the worry. The mother smiled, and touched her daughter's hand. She told her not to worry that their soldier boy was alive, and was doing very well. The daughter smiled and nodded her head.

They both looked up and over; when a car pulled into the driveway. Both women stood up, and watched a man that was dressed in a RAF uniform get out of the car. Fear raced threw both women; as the man walked up the steps to their home. The mother asked the man if her son was dead, and if he was here to tell her. The man smiled at the two women, and told them that their soldier was indeed alive. Both women breathed out the worry that they were holding. They looked at each other with smiles on their faces. It was when the RAF man spoke again; is when both women looked back over toward him. Their eyes widen at the sight of the gun in his hand.

"How would you ladies like to go to Germany?" He asked them with a wide, and spine-chilling smile.

In Germany; it was seven in the morning. Mary had woken up beside her love, and had smiled up at him. Mary got out of bed so not to wake him, and picked out her clothes that she was going to wear for the day. She put on a pale blue colored blouse with ballooned sleeves; that stopped just above her elbows. She then put on a black skirt that stopped at her knees. The top of the skirt came up to her mid stomach, but laid on top of the blouse. On the left side, and on the right bottom of the skirt; was embroidered gold and white Tudor roses. After Mary changed into her new clothes; she slipped out of her and her loves bedroom to fix breakfast for her father's, and her love. When their breakfast was done; Mary went and woke her love and her fathers up to eat. As they all sat down at the table to eat; Hogan looked over toward his daughter, and asked her what she was going to do today. Mary told him that she was going to wash clothes, and all of the bedding. Newkirk had smiled to himself as he took a drink of his coffee. He remembered what he and his love had done before they had went to sleep. Mary looked over toward him, and saw the smile that was still on his lips. She smiled to herself, and took a bite of her food. After everyone had ate their breakfast; Klink helped Mary do the dishes and clean up. He told Mary that he would finish drying the dishes while she went, and got her and her loves bedding to be washed. As Mary walked out of the bedroom with the sheets in her arms; she heard her father ask her love.

"Newkirk are you going to help Mary, or do you want to help Carter with cleaning duty today?" Newkirk looked over toward his commanding officer when he heard his voice.

"I say that Mary will need help washing the bedding, and the clothes." He told him. Hogan nodded his head; then looked over toward his daughter when she spoke.

"Peter you can go and help Andrew." Newkirk smiled at her; then shook his head.

"No I will help you with the bedding. It will go faster if I help you with them. Then afterwards; I can go and help Carter with cleaning Tad's office…"

"You don't have to do that son. You can help Mary, and Carter can do that tomorrow." Said Klink as he walked out of the kitchen, and stood beside his love. Hogan looked over toward his older lover.

"Are you sure?" He asked; then added. "Your office has not been cleaned for awhile, and neither has the house." He stated. Klink looked over toward his love, and smiled at him.

"Well if you want someone to do cleaning duty in my office… than why don't you do it?" Hogan raised a brow at his loves words. Klink smiled and winked at his young love. Hogan smiled, and nodded his head.

"Alright I will." He said with a large smile. Mary shook her head, and looked at her love. Newkirk looked over toward his love; when he felt her eyes on him.

"While we wait for the clothes and the bedding to dry; we can clean the house." Newkirk smiled at his love when she spoke to him.

"We can do that." He told her with a loving smile.

The two Colonels left the house, and Klink went to his office to start on the paperwork that seem to have no end; while Hogan went to Barracks 2 to tell Carter that he didn't have to clean today. After the two older men left the house; Mary had walked into hers and her loves room to get their clothes. When she walked out of the room with the basket full of the clothes; she saw her love standing at the opened front door; with the basket of bedding in his hands. Mary gave him a look and went to tell him that he couldn't carry the basket; that she would carry it outside, but Newkirk smiled and walked out onto the porch of the small family home. Mary narrowed her brows together, and quickly walked after him.

"Peter you shouldn't be lifting that basket; it's too heavy for you to lift… and to carry!" She somewhat yelled at him. Newkirk turned to smile at her; then told his love.

"Mary, I can lift a basket of bedding, and I say that I can also pick you up and carry you as well.. Now I'm not saying that I can go out on a mission just yet, but I can help you with the clothes and clean the house." He told her with a loving smile. Mary moved closer to her love, and looked into his eyes; to see if she could see any pain within them, but saw none. With a smile on her reddish lips; Mary leaned back, and said.

"Alright, but if you feel any pain you tell me.. promise." Newkirk smiled and nodded his head.

"I promise." He told her; then leaned down to kiss her on the lips. Mary smiled in the kiss. Then after the kiss had broke; the both of them walked down the steps, and over to the clothes line.

As Mary washed her clothes; she looked over toward her love. She smiled to herself as her eyes watched him ring the water out of one of his shirts. Newkirk glanced over to see his love looking at him. He smiled to himself, and started to wash another one of his shirts. After their clothes were washed; they started on the bedding. Mary was now happy that her Huntsman had stayed behind to help with this part. Once the bedding was wet; it was hard for Mary to lift on her own. Newkirk helped his love ring the water out of the sheets, and blankets. Once the bedding was washed; Newkirk placed the wet bedding on the lines along with their clothes. Mary stood beside him, and handed him the clothespins for him to pin the bedding, and the clothing to the lines. Some of the guards and POWs watched the two, and smiled at the two in love. Once everything was on the lines; Mary looked back at her love and smiled.

"Shall we go into the house and clean?" She asked him. Newkirk smiled wide and nodded his head.

"What do you mean I don't have to clean today?" Carter asked his Commanding Officer.

"Like I said; I will clean Klink's office today." Hogan told the young Sergeant again. Kinch smiled and looked over toward the Colonel.

"So you are going to clean his office?... But Colonel you have never cleaned his office, and Klink can be very picky about how his office is cleaned." Hogan looked over towards the older Sergeant, and saw the large smile on his face.

"I can clean his office, but if all of you want to clean; then Mary and Newkirk will be cleaning the house today. All of you can go over there and help them." Carter looked over toward Kinch who shook his head.

"No we're good. Besides I think all of us want to start making Mary's birthday gifts today." He told him. Hogan looked over at his two other friends, and saw both Carter and LeBeau nod their heads.

"Oui I can't wait to start on Petite Soeurs birthday gift." Hogan looked over to Carter when he spoke up next.

"Yeah and I can't wait to make sissy's new cook book." He said with a large smile. Hogan smiled at his friends, and was happy that they all wanted to give his little girl something for her birthday.

"Alright all of you start on her gifts, and I will go and clean Will's office." Hogan turned and walked out of the Barracks. The three men smiled at each other. It was Carter who spoke up again.

"I don't think that office will get very clean while the Colonel is there." Kinch and LeBeau smiled and shook their heads.

"No I don't think it will." Said LeBeau.

Hogan walked into the Kommandantur, and shut the door behind him. He turned around, and saw Hilda sitting at her desk. The young woman raised a brow when she saw the American Colonel walk over and pick up the feather duster. She watched the Colonel start to dust the outside office. Hogan looked over at her, and saw the look on her face. He raised a brow at her and went back to cleaning. Hilda sat back in her chair, and watched the older man clean. 'This is odd. He has never cleaned the office before.' She thought to herself. She looked over when she saw her boss standing at the doorway. On his face was a large smile that reached his eyes. Hilda looked away towards the floor. 'Now I know why he's cleaning.' She smiled at her own thought.

"Fräulein Hilda, did you and your mutter eat breakfast this morning?" The oldest man in the room asked her. Hogan jumped when he heard his loves voice come from nowhere. Klink chuckled at this; then looked over toward the young woman when she spoke.

"No we didn't. Mutter and I didn't want to go to the Mess Hall to get something to eat this morning." She told him. Klink smiled at her then walked over to her.

"Well you go back to the VIP Quarters, and I will have a guard bring you and your mutter something to eat." He told her with a smile. Hilda stood up and nodded her head.

"Danke Herr Kommandant." Hilda went to walk out of the building, but stopped and looked at both men. Both Klink and Hogan raised a brow at her actions.

"If you two are going to do what I think you will do…. Don't do it on my desk." She told them with a large grin as she pointed her finger at them. Both Colonels face's turned bright red; when they heard the young woman say this to them. Once the door was closed Hogan looked over toward Klink; who's face was still red. Klink looked over, and saw the look within his loves eyes. The older man shook his head; then turned to walk back into his office. Hogan walked behind the older Colonel; into the inner office.

"You might want to get the feather duster that is in the other room." Klink told his love as he sat back down at his desk. Hogan made a pout with his lower lip, and turned to get the duster. Klink smiled to himself as he glanced up to see his love walk out of the room. When Hogan walked back into the inner office; Klink told him how he wanted his office cleaned.

"Now Robert.. This is how I want my office cleaned." Hogan raised a brow at his loves words.

"I thought I was just going to dust and sweep the floors." Said the younger man; then watched as a large smile came to the older man's lips.

"No, I do want my office cleaned the right way Hogan. Just because we are together doesn't mean that I want this office looking half done. Now this is what you are going to do. First you will dust everything in the room… and that doesn't include me.." Hogan smiled at this point, because he knew that his love knew him too well at this point. The younger man's smile fell at what was said next.

"Then you will take the polish, and polish all of the wood in the office. After that is done; sweep the floors; then mop them… the right way. Do not do half of the floor; do it right the first time, and you will not have to do it again." He told him with a large smile. Hogan narrowed his eyes at his love; as he told him what he had to do. With a loud sigh the younger man started to clean. Klink smiled to himself and started to do his paperwork. He glanced up when he told the younger man one more thing.

"And if you do a good job the first time… I will reward you." He told him. Hogan stopped what he was doing, and turned around. The grin on his lips made the older man smile wide.

"And what kind of reward would you give me?" He asked walking over to the desk. As he stopped at the front of the desk; Hogan placed his hands on the desktop. Klink smiled a lustful smile, and said to the younger in a low deep smooth voice.

"What do you think I will give you." Hogan felt his blood race with lust; at the tone of his loves voice.

"Well then I think I should get started." Hogan replied with the same kind of voice that his love had used. Klink narrowed his eyes at the younger man.

"Yes you should." He said still in the low deep smooth voice.

Meanwhile at the house; Mary and Newkirk started to clean. Newkirk got the rags that they would need as well as the cleaners. He walked into the living room to Mary; who was waiting for him. She smiled at him as he walked over toward her. Her love handed her the rags, and followed her into their bedroom; to start to clean in there first. Mary went into the bathroom; while Newkirk started to dust. Mary dipped a rag into the water that was in the sink, and rang it out. She took the rag, and started to clean the bathroom. She walked over to the bathtub, and wiped the tub down. After the tub had been wiped down; she then turned on the water. She filled the tin blue cup; that had been left near the tub. She washed out the tub, and rang the rag out once again. While Mary was in the bathroom cleaning; Newkirk dust and polished the dresser, and table that was in the room. He smiled to himself as he looked over the rings that Hochstetter had bought for Mary. He narrowed his brows together, and noticed that the jewelry was just sitting in small bowls. 'She needs a jewelry box.' He thought to himself.

"Peter are you done in here?" Newkirk turned around, and looked at his love.

"Yeah I am. We just need to sweep and mop the floors." He told her with a smile. Mary smiled at him; then said.

"I think that we should do that last." Newkirk nodded his head.

"Yeah your right; we don't want to bring dirt back into the room after we had just cleaned it." Mary smiled at him then replied.

"Since our room is clean; how about we go and clean the living room next." She asked him. Her eyes watched her love nod his head again. Mary smiled, and walked out of their bedroom. Newkirk followed his love into the living room. This time Mary picked up another rag and started to dust the bookcase. Newkirk smiled and walked over to the coffee table. As he moved the items that was on the table; he glanced up to see his love moving a chair over to the bookcase. Newkirk quickly placed a book that was in his hand on the floor, and quickly stood up. He took three large steps over toward Mary.

"Mary don't get on the chair! I will clean the top of the bookcase." Newkirk told her; as he walked over to her. Mary smiled at him and looked over.

"Peter my sweet Huntsman; I can clean the top of the bookcase ." She said as she went to stand on the chair, but stopped when her loves words stopped her.

"But Eira, you could fall." He told her and placed his hand on the chair. Mary raised a brow as she looked at the top of the bookcase. She then looked back over toward the older man.

"Peter, is there a reason why you don't want me to clean the top?.. And don't say it's because I can fall." It was now Newkirk's turn to raise a brow.

"What do you mean?" He asked her as his heart raced slightly. Mary smiled at him and placed her hands on her hips.

"There is a reason why you don't want me to look up there. I can see it in your eyes… And if I was to fall… You would be right here to catch me. You told me earlier that you could pick me up and carry me around; so that means that you can catch me if I fall." She told him with a large grin on her lips.

"Well I did say that yes, but I should still clean the top… not you." He told her with a large nervous smile. Mary smiled at him; then quickly stepped up on the chair, and stood up. Newkirk frowned at his loves actions. He looked up at her when he heard her voice.

"Don't worry Peter I will be fine; now hand me the rag and the polish please." With a sigh; Newkirk walked over to get his love what she needed. 'He doesn't want me to see whatever is on top of the case… Maybe it is the drawing of the last dress?' Mary thought to herself; as her Huntsman handed her what she had asked for. Mary took the rag and the polish with a smile. She turned her head, and looked at the top of the bookcase.

"OH MY GOD!" She yelled as she took a small step back on the chair that she was standing on.

"What is it; you alright!?" Newkirk asked as he quickly placed his hands on his loves sides. Mary looked down at him with widen eyes.

"This is what you didn't want me to see! The dust on top of this bookcase is at least an inch thick!" Said Mary who now placed her hands on her hips again. Newkirk's eyes widen as a quick smile came to his lips.

"Oh really?" He asked trying to play it off. Mary narrowed her eyes at him, and leaned down some.

"When you and the others cleaned Vater's house; did you actually clean it, or did you just clean what could be seen at eye level? Or did all of you just walk into the room, and wave the duster around in the air?" She asked him while raising a brow. Her eyes watched her love smile wide at her questions.

"You did; didn't you?" She asked him again. Newkirk nodded his head still with a large smile on his lips.

"Alright we did… We would clean what could be seen at eye level… At the time we just wanted to get it over with, and we didn't care, but that was then not now." He said with a larger smile on his lips. Mary dropped her hands from her hips as she shook her head.

"Peter Annakin Newkirk; I am surprised in you." She told him with a smile; then noticed something. Newkirk smiled at her; then laughed at what his love said next.

"We are almost the same height now." Mary said with a giggle. Newkirk laughed and looked up at his love.

"Almost." Mary watched her love stand on his tip toes to kiss her on the lips. Mary leaned down to meet his lips. They kissed each other; then when the kiss broke Mary laughed at what her love said next.

"Alright now I know how you feel." Mary shook her head then went back to cleaning. She cleaned the top of the bookcase. She cleaned it once; then noticed that it was still dirty, and asked for another rag. Her huntsman handed her another rag, and Mary cleaned the bookcase again. Once it was nice and clean; Mary handed the rag and the polish to her love. Newkirk sat the cleaner and the rag on a shelf on the bookcase, and went to help his love down. Mary smiled to herself, and did something that she just had to do.

"Oh no Peter.. I think I'm going to fall." Newkirk quickly placed his hands on his loves sides. He looked up into her snowy blue eyes; then saw her large smile on her lips. Mary looked straight ahead and fell back into her loves waiting arms. Newkirk caught his love in his arms, and looked into her snowy eyes again.

"Really?" He asked her with a raised brow. Mary laughed as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I'm sorry; I couldn't help it. I had to do it." She giggled again. Newkirk smiled as he raised her up slightly to kiss her lips. Once the kiss broke he spoke.

"Well at least you know that I will always catch you." He told her with a loving smile. Mary smiled a loving smile at him; then kissed him again.

LeBeau looked up at the ceiling of the barracks as he tried to think of another recipe to write down. He looked over toward Carter when he started to hammer at one of the metal ornaments that was going around the edge of the book. When Carter sat the hammer down; he looked at the book with a large smile on his face. LeBeau waited to see if the young man was going to pick up the hammer again. When he saw that Carter was done with the hammer; he went to write once again. Just before the Frenchman could write again; Carter picked up the hammer, and started to hammer once again.

"Carter do you have to do that?!" LeBeau yelled out. Carter looked over toward his friend with a raised brow.

"Yes I do. Why can't you go into Colonel Hogan's office and write?" He asked him. LeBeau narrowed his eyes at him, and spat out.

"Because I want to write here at the table. Why don't you go in there and do your hammering?" He asked him. Carter then replied.

"I am not going in there and hammering; I could break something and besides I was here first." Both men started to yell at each other as Kinch walked into the barracks. He walked over to the two yelling men, and yelled over top of them.

"What are you two yelling about?!" Both Carter and LeBeau looked at their friend. They both started to tell him at the same time. Kinch held up his hand, and both stopped. Kinch moved his hand over toward Carter for him to speak first.

"I am hammering these metal ornaments onto Mary's cookbook, and LeBeau is being a pain in the ass."

"I'm being a pain in the ass? I am trying to write, and you are shaking the whole barracks!" Carter narrowed his eyes at the smaller man.

"I was at the table first." Said Carter in a childlike voice. Kinch shook his head; then said.

"Alright both of you stop… LeBeau go into Colonel Hogan's office, and finish writing.. And Carter, you go to the motor pool, and finish the book there. There are other tools in there that you can use besides a hammer." Carter looked at the book; then remembered that was other tools that he would need later on.

"Hey yeah Kinch your right." LeBeau rolled his eyes at the younger man. Carter went to get up, but stopped when the door of the barracks opened. All the men in the barracks looked at the door, and saw Corporals Habicht and Bischof walk in. Kinch looked at his friends; then at the other POW's. The POW's were looking at the two German Corporals with worried eyes. Kinch looked back at the two young men that walked a little farther into the barracks.

"Can we help you?" He asked them. Bischof was the first one to speak.

"Yes… well we hope so.. We were hoping that all of you could help us figure out what to get Lady Mary for her birthday." The three men smiled at the two guards; as the POWs calmed down. The last thing any of them wanted was for the two German men to start nosing around.

"How about you two set down, and we will try to help you." Carter stated. Kinch moved to let the two men sit down. Carter and LeBeau moved their things over; to make room for the two men at the table. Kinch walked over and got the two German guards a cup of coffee each; then walked back over, and handed them the cups. Both men thanked him, and took a drink.

"We don't know what to get Lady Mary for her birthday." Said Habicht this time.

"And what do you get a sweet girl like Lady Mary; she has pretty much everything already." Said Bischof.

"Well sis does have a lot of fabric; so we know that she will not need that for awhile." Said Kinch as he sat down in front of the two men.

"You could get Mary a… never mind she has that." Carter started then realized; that Mary already had more than enough lace. Habicht looked down at the table and something came to mind.

"Does Lady Mary sew everything she makes by hand?" He asked. Four men looked over toward LeBeau when he spoke up.

"Oui she does… Why?" They all saw a large smile come to Habicht's lips.

"I could get her a electric sewing machine. Then she will be able to make clothes a lot faster." He said with a large smile.

"Yeah that is a great idea. I know that sissy would love that!" Said Carter.

"And I was thinking of getting her a embroidery floor stand, but… I don't know if she would like that or not." Admitted Bischof.

"Are you kidding; Mary would love that. Besides it would help her out too; she does all the embroidery by hand, and that can take awhile." Said Kinch. They all looked over when Carter spoke up again.

"Yeah it does. You remember when Newkirk had tried to do embroidery for the first time. It took him so long to do it, but he wasn't happy with what he had done, and ended up not using it." Carter looked over toward the two guards, and added. "It was on the veil for General Burkhalter's niece. Newkirk was the one who sewed the General's niece's wedding dress."

"I remember that… but I know that he didn't design that dress though. I have seen the dresses that he had made, and that one looked nothing like those." Said Bischof. Kinch smiled at LeBeau when the young guard had said that.

"Well LeBeau designed that one… But Newkirk's looks a whole lot better; that one was… let's just say.. not good." Said Carter again. Kinch held in his laugh as he saw his small friend roll his eyes.

"I did what I could." Said LeBeau in an annoyed voice. Carter looked over toward the small Frenchman and smiled a sheepish smile. It was Kinch who spoke next.

"Mary will love anything you two get her. She will tell you that you didn't have to, but she will love whatever you get her." Said Kinch with a smile. Both guards smiled wide at this news.

"Alright that's what we will get her." Bischof said with a large smile. Both guards finished their coffee then stood up. They went to the door, but it was Habicht who stopped, and turned toward Kinch and said.

"Oh and Fräulein Kaspar had asked us if we could find you, and tell you that she wants to see you. I think it has to do with her car." Kinch smiled wide at hearing this. He smiled as he stood up, and walked over to the two men as he spoke.

"Well I shouldn't keep her waiting." He said with a smile, and walked out of the barracks toward the VIP Quarters.

Hogan walked back into the inner office. He had put the mop away, and had empty the water. He walked over to stand in front of the older man's desk. Klink glanced upwards to see his love standing in front of his desk; with a large smile on his face. The older man pushed his chair out, and stood up. He walked around the room to look over what the young Colonel had done. His eyes looked over every inch of the inner office. After seeing that everything was indeed clean; he made his way back to his desk, and looked down. He raised a brow; then stated.

"You didn't clean my desk." Hogan shook his head at this.

"No I didn't. I will clean it after I hopefully get my reward. I didn't want to clean it twice." He told the older man with a lustful smile. Klink nodded his head to the side; then walked to his chair.

"Alright. I have to admit Hogan; that my office is very clean, but…" Hogan narrowed his brows together.

"But?"

"But you didn't clean the outer office; where Hilda's desk is at." He told him. Hogan sighed; then told him the reason why he didn't.

"I didn't clean the other room because; if someone walks in the first room, and sees that it is clean, and your door is closed. Then they may think that something is up with the two of us. I left the next room dirty to make them think that I was in here still cleaning your office. We all know that you like your office cleaned a certain way, and if they see the door closed; then they will think that you are making me clean your office again." Klink narrowed his brows that he had raised while his love was talking.

"That does make sense. Very well; you will get your reward." Hogan smiled wide at the sound of him getting his reward.

"Now we can do this two ways, and I will let you choose which way you would want it. One; we go into the back and have some fun… or two; we have fun right here, but in a different way." Hogan raised a brow at his lovers words.

"What do you mean in a different way?" The younger asked the older. Klink smiled a lustful smile at his young lover.

"Well we could try something a little rough. You had told me once before; that you like it a little rough, but I have not tried it because of…" Hogan narrowed his brows at his love who had looked away.

"Because of…" Hogan asked as he stepped closer toward the desk. Klink glanced at his love, and said why.

"Because of Jason.. I don't want you to have a flashback, and get scared. I will understand if you don't want to do it that way though." The older man watched his love smile at him.

"You don't have to worry about that Will; I will be alright, and I will be with you. I know that you would never do anything to really hurt me. I do like it a little rough, but not too rough. Maybe a little hard smack here and there, and besides…. I like it when you order me around." He told the older man with a loving smile; that soon turned into a lustful grin. Klink smiled wide at knowing this.

"Really? You like it when I order you around huh?" He asked him. Hogan nodded his head slowly.

"Alright Hogan; We will still start out slow; then work our way up from there… … Now come here, and get on your knees." Hogan smiled wide; then did as told.

He walked over, and stood in front of the older man's chair. While getting on his knees; Hogan eyed his love with lustful eyes. Klink leaned back in his chair, and placed his hands on each side of the arm rest. Hogan watched his love looked down with only his eyes. With a large smile the younger man raised his hands up, and unbuttoned and unzipped the older man's trousers. He took out the older Colonel's harden member into his hand. He looked up to make eye contact with his older lover. Klink watched Hogan lower his head; while taking the older man's member into his mouth. A loud sigh was heard from the older man as he enjoyed the warmth. The younger man bobbed his head up and down; as he gave his love pleasure. Klink moved his left hand, and placed it on top of the younger man's head. When he felt that he was about to release; Klink tried to pull his loves head up, but Hogan didn't move. Instead the younger Colonel lowered his head downwards; taking all of his love into his mouth, and throat. He heard his love moan loudly, but not enough for someone outside of the room to hear him. After he had released; Klink opened his eyes that he had closed, and saw his love looking at him with a large smile.

"Robert, I didn't tell you to do that." He told him. Hogan smiled at him and replied.

"I know, but you always make sure that I have a release… I just wanted to give you one this time. I know that I misbehaved Sir, but I just wanted to make my Kommandant happy is all… Are you not happy Kommandant?" He asked him with a lustful smile. Klink smiled and leaned forward.

"I am, but like you said you did misbehave so… I will have to punish you for disobeying me." He told him; as he stood up. As Klink walked around his desk; he placed himself back into his trousers. Hogan remained on his knees, and waited for his Kommandant; to tell him what to do.

"Stand up and take off your shirt, jacket, and lower your trousers." The older man told him what to do next. The younger stood up, and did as told. He took his jacket off and folded it. He laid the piece of clothing on the chair that was beside the desk. He then took off his shirt and did the same. He took off his hat, and sat it on top of his other clothing that was on the chair. Hogan moved to lower his trousers, but stopped when he heard his loves voice.

"Turn around before you lower them." The younger nodded his head, and did as told. He turned around to face the desk, and the wall; as he lowered his trousers. Once they were lowered; Klink walked up behind the younger, and placed his hands on the other's bare shoulders. Hogan breathed in when he felt the older man's cool hands run down his arms to his hands. Taking the younger's hands into each one of his; the older Colonel moved the younger's hands outwards to rest on the desktop. Hogan sucked in air; when he felt his loves hands run back up his arms, and to his back. The older man's hands pushed him forward; to where he was slightly bent over. Klink's eyes ran down his loves body, and bare backside. He narrowed his eyes; as he noticed that his loves still shoed covered feet; were too close together. With his right boot; Klink tapped the younger's right shoe. Hogan understood what his love was asking of him, and moved his right leg outwards. Hogan went to look behind him, but stopped when the older man told him.

"Do not look back, or I will not let you release at all." Klink chuckled lightly as the younger man quickly turned his head back to face the far wall in front of him.

Klink now ran his right hand over the younger man's backside. His cool hand felt the warmth come off the flesh of the younger man. He smiled to himself, then raised his hand up. Hogan jumped when he felt the older man's hand make contact with his bare backside. Klink then raised his hand up and spanked the younger Colonel's backside once again. Hogan hissed at the sting of the hand on the last smack. After Klink had warmed his loves backside; he then took his left hand; that was cool to the touch, and barely touched the warm flesh with his fingers. He smiled to himself; when he heard the younger man breathe in deeply. Then worry; came to the older Colonel's mind. 'Did I go too far?' He asked himself. Klink stepped to the side to look at his loves face. Hogan's eyes were closed, but he had a large smile on his lips. Moving his eyes downward; the older man saw his young loves harden member. 'I guess not.' Klink thought to himself again, but this time with a large smile. As Klink moved to stand behind his love; he raised his hand up, and placed his hand on the back of the younger Colonel's. When the older man pushed him farther down to the desk; Hogan slid his hands outwards. He let himself be lowered even more onto the desktop. Klink smiled to himself again as he kissed the hot flesh of the other's back. He moved to the side of his desk, and opened the drawer.

Hogan on the other hand; was in pure bliss. He had never had someone spank him before. His smile had grew every time his loves hand made contact with his backside. After the last smack; Hogan then felt the cool fingers of the older man touch his warm backside. This made his member harden even more. When he heard his love step beside him; he had wanted to open his eyes, and look at him, but he was enjoying the feeling of his loves cool fingers still on his hot flesh. Hogan smiled wider; when his love had walked behind him, and placed his hand on his back to lower him even more. Without thinking; Hogan lowered himself willingly. He had heard the drawer of the desk open, but he didn't want to look behind, and make the older man angry. When he felt his loves harden member near him; Hogan breathed in to relax himself.

"You have been a good boy; you have not looked back once… so you will get your reward." The older man purred into his ear. The younger man let out a low moan as he felt the pleasure of his love now within him. Klink pushed as far into his love as he could. He stayed still for awhile to let his love get use to him again. Once his love moved himself against him; Klink began to move slowly out of his love; then back in. Hogan moaned with every small thrust from his older lover. Klink leaned over the younger man's back, and placed hot kisses on the flesh of the neck. He quickened his pace some; when he heard his love moan out in pleasure.

"Oh… fuck… Oberst." Klink groan when he heard his love say this. That was one thing that he did love about his young Colonel; was that he could stay in the game even now. Klink smiled to himself, and moved his lips to the side of the younger man's ear; as he quicken his pace again.

"You like that; don't you." He whispered to him. Hogan nodded his head as he wined out.

"Ja Oberst… Bitte… bitte… bitte mehr." Hogan begged him in German. Klink groaned loudly as his love spoke his native tongue. The older man leaned back up, and started to thrust into his love even harder. At this feeling of his love now going faster; Hogan moved his arms that were to the side of him; to where now they were underneath him. His short nails clawed the wood of the desk as he felt his pleasure rise within him. Lowering his head so not to make too much noise; Hogan placed his mouth over his right hand.

Klink moaned as he watched his love react to what he was doing to him. Closing his eyes; the older man enjoyed hearing the young man in front of him; continue to beg him in his native tongue.

"Bitte… ohhh… Herr Oberst bitte mehr." The younger man moaned out. The more Hogan begged him; the faster Klink went. It didn't take long for both men to reach their breaking point. With the last few thrusts; Klink had hit the one spot in his love that made Hogan's eyes roll back into his head.

"OH FUCK!" Hogan yelled out as he hit his tipping point. Klink only groaned out loudly as he hit his.

After their bodies couldn't move anymore; did the older man pull out of his love, and sit down in his chair. At this point; Klink didn't trust his legs to be able to stand for too much longer. Hogan moved his mouth off of his hand, and leaned up just enough to pull his trousers up. The younger man slowly turned around, and slowly lowered himself to the floor. Just like his love; Hogan didn't trust his legs to hold him much longer. Breathing in deeply; the young Colonel looked at the older. Klink was laid back in his chair, and was smiling at his love. The older man's eyes watched the largest smile; come to his loves lips.

"What is that smile for?" He asked him knowing what it was for.

"I had always wanted to do that in your office." Hogan smiled at his love. While placing himself back into his own trousers; Klink smiled at his love, and admitted as well.

"I have always wanted to do that to you in here as well." With a low chuckle, and smile; Hogan laid his head against the desk behind him.

"Now that you got your reward…" Hogan smiled at his love; then frowned at what he heard him say next. "Now you can finish cleaning the outer office." Klink said with a smile; that grew when he saw a pout come to his loves lips.

Kinch walked up the steps to the VIP Quarters. He walked up to the door, and breathed in. As he went to knock on the door; he noticed that his hand was shaking. Dropping his hand; Kinch tried to calm himself down. 'Why am I nervous?' He asked himself. Standing on the porch for a few more minutes; the Sergeant tried to push his nerves downwards. The Sergeant didn't see one of the young guards come up behind him. Bischof smiled to himself, and stepped beside the American Sergeant. He smiled to himself as he raised his hand up and knocked on the door. Kinch opened his eyes when he heard the knock, and looked over toward the young guard. Bischof smiled wide as they both heard a 'Come in.'

"Your welcome." Said the German Corporal. Kinch sighed, and walked into the house. He walked into the living room and found Hilda, and Regina sitting on the sofa. He smiled at the two women.

"Corporal Habicht said that you wanted to see me about your car?" He asked the oldest woman in the room. Regina smiled and nodded her head; then looked over toward her daughter.

"Hilda dear, how about you go to the office, and start work." She said with a loving smile. Hilda smiled, but shook her head.

"I'm not going into that building until I know that both Colonel's have their clothes on." Regina raised a brow at her daughter's words.

"What?" She asked her; then looked over toward the handsome Sergeant.

"Colonel's Klink and Hogan are in a relationship." He told her. Regina's eyes widen; then narrowed.

"Oh that's why Colonel Hogan was filling Herr Oberst's plate at dinner last night." She said now understanding.

"Ja Mutter; that's why… Wait what did you think Colonel Hogan was doing that for?" Her daughter asked her.

"I just thought he was being nice is all… you know like father like daughter." Regina said while shrugging her shoulders.

"Well I don't want to sound mean or anything, but I am glad that you thought that. Those two need to hide their love for each other a little better; than what they are." Said Kinch. Regina looked over toward the young man and smiled.

"In away yes they do, but they are in love, and are happy. I know that it is hard to control oneself when they're in love." She told him with a smile. Kinch smiled to where he showed his teeth; at what the older woman had said. It was at this time Hilda knew that she should leave her mother and the Sergeant alone.

"Well I will be going. I am not going to the office that's for sure, but I think I will go and see what Mary is doing." Hilda stood up and went to walk out, but stopped when she heard Kinch's words.

"You know Fräulein Hilda; if you called Mary your daughter… that would make her very happy. Mary does see you as a mother, and I hate to say it, but she does need one. You have been there for her many times, and will still be there for her." Hilda smiled at the Sergeant's words.

"Herr General Burkhalter, told her once that she had a new mutter, and pointed at me. I do see that sweet girl like a daughter, and I know that she does need a mutter figure in her life… But she has not called me mutter yet; so I don't know if she does see me as one, or not." Kinch smiled at the young woman and told the truth.

"Mary is probably nervous about calling you that. She can get nervous with things like that, but I'm sure that if you call her daughter… that will make her so very happy, and after that she will call you mother. Lord knows that she needs one…" Kinch informed the young woman.

"That's right.. Hilda told me what that poor girls mother had done to her, and had put her threw… Hilda sweetheart you are the closest thing to a mother that young lady will ever have…" Kinch had looked over toward Regina when she had first spoke, but now was looking over toward Hilda once again.

"Your mutter is right. Mary may have all of us now, and acts like nothing is going on with her… but I know, and so does everyone else that someday soon… she will have a flashback to that day when her step father had gotten into camp. Newkirk told us that the flashback that she will have about that day…" Kinch sighed and looked down at the floor; then continued. "That flashback will be a bad one. I say that will be the worse one that she will ever have so far." Hilda sighed and looked down at the floor.

"Your right; she'll have a flashback on what happened that day. I just hope that Newkirk will be there for her; if not then I don't know who will be able to help her." With that said; Hilda walked out of the VIP Quarters, and toward the small house. Kinch sighed again, and closed his eyes. The image of Mary's last flashback played before his closed eyes. 'She was shaking so badly, and was so scared. We all knew that she was hearing her mother's voice yelling in her mind.. If Newkirk wasn't there to help her… then I say that we all would have been unable to help her… I don't even know if Colonel Hogan could have helped her or not.' He thought to himself. Kinch was brought out of his thoughts when he felt a hand on his arm. Opening his eyes; he found crystal blue eyes looking into his brown eyes.

"James, are you alright?" Asked Regina with worry in her voice. Kinch smiled and nodded his head.

"Yeah I'm alright…. So you wanted to talk to me about your car?" He asked her. Regina smiled and nodded her head.

"Ja I did. I was wondering if it was almost done yet?" She asked him. Kinch smiled at her; then told her the truth.

"Regina.. You know that I'm almost done with your car. I will have it fixed today." He told her as he stepped closer. Regina smiled as she stepped closer to the handsome man before her, and placed her hands on his chest.

"I thought you had told Herr Oberst; that it would take a few days before it was done." She stated. Kinch smiled wide enough to show his teeth again.

"I did… but I just told him that for you to stay here a little longer." He told her while leaning in toward her lips.

"Well then… I guess I will have to delay you from fixing it anymore; so that I can stay here a few days more." Regina smiled as she felt his lips on hers.

Hochstetter walked into a jewelry store. He walked over to the woman that was behind the counter. He told her that he was there to check on the ring; that he had placed the order on a few days ago. The woman went into the back to check how far along the ring was. While Hochstetter waited he walked around the store, and looked at the different types of jewelry. He narrowed his brows; as his eyes looked over the earrings that were on display. With a frown he walked back over to the counter. He picked up a catalog of the jewelry that was in the store. His eyes widen when he saw a beautiful jewelry set; that was for a bride. He smiled to himself; then looked up when the woman walked back into the room. She smiled at him then said.

"The ring that you had placed in a few days ago; will be ready in three day's." She told him with a smile. Hochstetter smiled at her. He went to ask the woman a question, but stopped when the woman spoke to him again.

"Your sweetheart is a lucky lady." She told him with a smile. With a smile the older man replied.

"No I do not have a sweetheart. The ring is for my niece. Her sweetheart had asked me to help him get the ring made before her birthday, and I was more than happy to help. He will ask her on her birthday that is in a week and three days… But I don't know what to get her for her birthday though. I had gotten her so much jewelry a few days ago, and now I don't know what to get her." The woman smiled at him, and remembered back on that day. The Major had bought so much jewelry for the young woman that was in the store that day.

"Well you could always get her something for her to wear on her wedding day. We do have a special counter over here; that is for weddings." The woman held up her hand, and started to walk over to the counter. Hochstetter smiled and followed the woman over to the counter. His eyes looked over the earrings and the necklaces that were in the cases. Hochstetter looked over the jewelry in the first case and saw nothing that called out Mary's name. He glanced over to the last case, and saw the set of jewelry that was in the catalog. With a large smile; the Major knew that Mary would definitely look like a queen when she war the full jewelry set.

"What about this set here?" He asked her while pointing down at the case. The woman's eyes widen at the jewelry set that the older man was pointing at.

"That set is for sale; would you like for me to bring it out for you?" She asked him. Hochstetter smiled wide and nodded his head. The woman pulled out the set that had caught his eye. With a large smile; Hochstetter looked over the jewelry.

"I will take this set." He told her with still a large smile on his lips. The woman smiled at him; then asked him.

"Herr Major… Are your sure you want to buy this? It's very…"

"Don't worry; I have the money to buy it." He interrupted the woman with a sweet smile.

"Very well Herr Major, if you would come over here please." The woman stated, and walked over to the other counter. Hochstetter followed the woman to the first counter; then handed her the money with a smile. She then looked over toward him and asked.

"Would you like for me to wrap the box up for you?" Hochstetter smiled, and said.

"Ja Danke." He told her, and watched the woman pull out some pink paper to wrap the gift up with.

"No not the pink. My niece can't stand the color pink. Something happened not too long ago, and she was wearing pink at the time, and I don't want her to get upset." He told the woman. The woman nodded her head; then asked as she put the pink paper away.

"What color would she like?" Hochstetter smiled wide, and thought on the color that would bring a smile to Mary's reddish lips.

"Do you have a light green color?" He asked.

"Ja we do, and I can tie a dark green ribbon around it as well; if you would like?" The Major nodded his head, and smiled at the woman.

"Danke." He told her, and watched the woman start to wrap the gift. 'I should give Mary her gift after Newkirk askes her to marry him. If I give it to her before; than she may wonder why I got it for her.' He thought to himself. When the woman had walked in the back to get the ribbon; Hochstetter picked up the catalog, and tore out the page that had the jewelry set on it. 'I will show Hogan this, and make sure that this is alright to give her.' He thought to himself; with a large smile.

Hilda walked up the steps of the small now family home. She walked toward the door, and heard Mary and Newkirk laughing. With a large smile; Hilda knocked on the door. She smiled to herself again as she heard Mary run over, and open the door. Mary smiled at the older woman; then moved to let her in. As the older woman walked into the house; she saw that the house looked a lot cleaner than it had been before. Mary walked over, and stood beside of the older woman.

"Hilda what brings you here?" Mary asked happily. Hilda looked over toward her, and replied.

"I came over to see you." She told her with a smile. Newkirk smiled at the large smile that came to his loves face.

"You did? That is so sweet of you." Said Mary as she walked in front of the older woman. Hilda nodded her head; then looked around the room.

"I have never seen the house this clean before." She admitted. Mary giggled, and looked over toward her love when she spoke.

"Well I was informed that Peter and the others really didn't clean it very well in the past." Newkirk smiled a sheepish smile at his loves words.

"Well at least it is getting clean now." He told her with a still a sheepish smile. Mary shook her head with still a smile on her lips. She looked over; when she heard the older woman in front of her speak.

"Ja it's getting cleaned now, and I know that you will do a great job… Tochter." Hilda watched the look on Mary's face change within a flash. Mary's eyes widen; as her mouth dropped open some. Stepping closer; Mary asked the woman in front of her.

"What did you call me?" Hilda smiled a loving smile as she saw tears come to the younger woman's eyes.

"I called you tochter. I hope you don't mind. I do see you as a daughter Mary." The older woman told the younger. Mary closed her eyes and let the tears fall onto her cheeks. Newkirk smiled as he walked over toward his love. Mary lowered her head; as her shoulders began to shake lightly. Hilda narrowed her brows in worry. She looked over toward Newkirk who was now standing next to his love.

"Eira… are you alright?" He asked her. Mary nodded her head; as she raised her hand up to place it over her mouth.

"Yes I am… I … I just never thought that I would be called that by someone other than her." She said as she let out a low sob.

"Mary, I hope that I didn't upset you, or make you angry by calling you that?" Hilda asked out of worry. Mary shook her head quickly.

"No you didn't upset me… I … I just never thought I would ever hear that. I … I am not crying because I am sad. I'm crying because I am… happy." She told the both of them. Hilda smiled as she stepped closer to the young woman. As she wrapped her arms around Mary; Mary let out a loud sob, and quickly placed her arms around Hilda. Newkirk smiled at his love, and felt his own tears start to fill his eyes.

"I am glad that you are happy. Any woman would be lucky to have you as their daughter, and be proud to call you their daughter." Mary started to cry harder as Hilda told her this. Newkirk smiled at the sight of the older woman hugging his love; who she saw as a daughter.

Hogan had finished cleaning the Kommandantur, and was now in his office. He was once again staring at the blank pages of the book that he wanted to write in. With a loud sigh; Hogan moved his hand over, and closed the book. 'Why can't I think of a way to start this book.' He thought to himself. It was then when one of the POWs opened his door, and told him that he was getting a message from London. Hogan got up quickly, and ran out of his office. He ran over towards the rising bed entrance, and climbed down the ladder. Once on the ground; he quickly walked toward the radio room. He looked around for Kinch, and saw that he was not there. With a raised brow; Hogan walked over to the table, and picked up the headset.

"Papa Bear here." He said into the headset.

"Papa Bear this is Mama Bear. We need you to go into town and meet an underground agent. They have information on Luftwaffe plane parts that are being moved. Can you do this Papa Bear?" Asked Mama Bear over the headset. Hogan nodded his head as he spoke.

"Yes I can Mama Bear. What time do I have to meet agent, and what is agents name, and code?" He asked.

"You need to be in town at 14:00 hours, and the agents name is Little Boy Blue at Hofbrau. The code is: The flowers are very blue today. And: Yes, blue like the sky in spring." When he heard this; Hogan raised a brow.

"Okay Mama Bear; I will be there. Over and out." Said Hogan, and took off the headset. As he walked away he didn't hear the voice on the headset say the last few words.

"Be careful Papa Bear; Gestapo is in town looking for this agent, and yourself. Take care; over and out."

Kinch and Regina sat on the sofa that was in the living room. Regina had made them some tea for the both of them. They both took a drink of their tea, and sat in silence. Neither one knew what to talk about, or ask the other. Finally after drinking a full cup of tea; Regina cleared her throat, and turned toward the younger man. She smiled wide when she saw the look in his eyes. The look was of that of pure love. Regina felt her cheeks heat up. Kinch smiled and looked down into his cup of tea.

"So you are not married?" He asked breaking the silence of the room. Regina shook her head as she sat her cup down.

"No I'm not. Hilda's father was suppose to marry me… but he went with the other woman that he was seeing."

"How old were you; when you and he got together?" Asked the American Sergeant. Regina frown some, and told him.

"I was only thirteen when I met him, and he was nineteen at the time." Kinch's eyes widen at this news.

"That was a big age difference." He said out of shock. Regina nodded her head, and breathed in deep. 'I will tell him the truth.' She told herself. 'I can't lie to him… or to myself anymore…' With a deep breath; Regina told the man beside her the truth about Hilda's father.

"He was walking out of a store, and I ran into him. I told him that I was sorry, and he told me that it was alright. Then he asked me why a young thing like myself was alone. I told him that I was out getting a few things for my Mutter, and he told me that he would walk with me. That a beautiful little kitten shouldn't be walking alone." Regina rolled her eyes; then went on. "He walked with me, and helped me carry the bags… When he told me that he was falling in love with me; I quickly fell for him…"

"Was all this in the same day?" Asked Kinch. Regina looked down at her hands, and rubbed the tea cup with her pointer finger.

"Ja it was. I was young, and I fell for all the sweet words he was saying to me. It was three weeks later; after him walking me home from school, and walking around with me in town; that he sweet talked me into sleeping with him… And like a fool… I did." Regina sighed then closed her eyes. She didn't want to look into the Sergeants eyes, and see what she had seen before… pity mixed with disgust. Kinch's eyes lowered in sadness. He looked up when he heard the slightly older woman speak again.

"He took me to his place, and we…." Kinch frowned as he saw tears fall from Regina's eyes, and land on her hands. He went to speak, but Regina's words stopped him.

"It took less than ten minutes. After he got out of bed, and walked into the bathroom. I sat up in the bed, and looked around the room. I looked at a chair that was in the room, and saw a woman's dress… The dress wasn't mine….. He walked out of the bathroom, and told me to get my clothes on; that his wife would be home within an hour. I asked him; if he had a wife; than why go for me…" Tears fell from her eyes like heavy rain now.

"What did he tell you?" Asked Kinch while trying not to let the tears fall from his eyes. With a low sob; the slightly older woman told him.

"He told me that he wanted to see if he could get me into bed. He said that since I was in his bed; that he got what he wanted, but he didn't want me, nor did he want to see me again… I told Hilda that her father was going to marry me, and that he chose another woman over me…" Regina wiped her tears away, and told the slightly younger man why she had lied to her daughter.

"I told her that because I didn't want Hilda… to think that I was a fool, and that I was used for just some married man's fun. I tell everyone that he left me for another; that I was the one that he cheated on, but… I was the one that he used to cheat on his wife with…. I … I have never told anyone the truth, but a few. I have told two other men what I did, and they both left right after…. After that; I was pregnant with Hilda… I told my family what happened to me, and what he done to me. They… they sent me away to live with a family friend. They didn't want anything to do with me, nor Hilda…. When I gave birth to Hilda… the woman that I was staying with.. tried to take her from me. She told me that no man would want a woman that had a child from another man…. I told her no; that Hilda was my little girl, and I would love her and raise her myself…. And I did, and I hope that I did a good job with raising her." Kinch smiled at this. He moved his hand over, and touched the top of Regina's hand; causing her to look at him. Her eyes looked into his, and saw what she had never seen before…

"You did a great job with Hilda, and she is a great person… because she had watched her mother be one. What that bastard did to you was uncalled for. He shouldn't have done that to you, and you are not a fool. You were hoping for love, and to be with someone that loved you… I don't see you as a fool; I see you as a strong woman that raised her child. And if the men in the past, or now; can't see what was done to you was wrong… than they had done that to a young woman in the past… Regina… You are a beautiful woman, and if they can't see the strong beautiful woman that you are now; then they didn't deserve you, and you don't deserve them." Regina smiled at hearing what the slightly younger man was saying to her. She moved her hand, and placed it on top of Kinch's.

"I was made to look like a fool too, but in a different way." Regina narrowed her brows together.

"James.. What do you mean?" She asked him. With a sigh; Kinch told her what he had never told anyone before; not even his own parents.

"When I was fourteen.. My friends and I would go to a playground after school. There was a girl there that was a year older than me… She had the same skin color as you, but I had a crush on her. I would smile at her, and she would smile at me. I finally got up the courage to ask her if she wanted to go to a soda fountain shop with me to get some ice cream. She smiled at me and I thought that she was going to say yes, but…" He looked away, and toward the floor.

"What did she say?" Asked the woman beside him. Kinch looked over and told her.

"She told me that she wouldn't be caught dead with me. She called me a very hurtful name, and walked off laughing. Her and her friends; as well as some of the boys that were around her… they would see me, and call me that name. It got to were I just stayed home after school. I didn't go out anywhere, nor did I want to go to school. Everywhere I go… I am called some kind of name. And me being in love with a woman that doesn't have the same colored skin as myself… Well I know that it is looked down on here, but in America it is looked down on even more. I had dated women that are like me, but I saw you and fell for you…. I know that we are not of the same… skin color, and I don't want to get you hurt or killed…" Regina had listened to him until this point. When Regina spoke; Kinch was caught off guard.

"James.. Love is love; it will find away, and I don't care what people think. I don't care if we are not what people call normal; I fell for you, and I want to get to know you more. I don't care what they say! As long as we have each other; then what they think is just that; what they think… James…" Regina moved closer toward the younger man, and placed her hands on the sides of his face.

"James, I care for you, and want to be with you…."

"Regina… I'm black and your white… That's not allowed." He told her the truth. Regina smiled a loving smile, and replied.

"James… black or white; it doesn't matter to me. You or I could be… green, blue, or hell even purple. I don't care.. I want to be with you, and Hilda is fine with this. And I know that your friends, and Mary will be happy for us… When I got out of the car, and I saw you; I didn't see a black man looking at me… I saw a drop dead handsome man looking at me. A man that made… makes my heart race, and my breath catch in my throat. I saw a man that I wanted to get to know, and a man that hopefully would like to get to know me." Kinch smiled wide at hearing what the beautiful woman in front of him was saying.

"I would like to get to know you, and to be with you. I only said that before, because I didn't want you to get hurt. I care for you as well, and I could see myself being with you for along time." He told her the truth. Regina smiled wide; then leaned in, and kissed the slightly younger man on the lips.

Mary and Newkirk walked outside onto the little porch of the small home. They had to take a break from cleaning. They had cleaned their room, and bathroom; as well as the living room and dining room. Newkirk couldn't believe just how dirty the house was. He knew that he and Carter did half clean the house, but he had thought that they had done a better job than what they had. Mary sat down on the first step of the porch. She looked over as her love sat down beside her. Mary smiled to herself as she looked over, and saw her love remove his blue RAF jacket. Her eyes watched the sweat on his brow run down his cheek. Feeling his loves eyes on him; Newkirk looked over.

"What are you smiling at?" He asked her. Mary giggled and asked him.

"Why don't you take your shirt off? You are hot and sweating, and you are wearing long sleeves." She asked and stated. Newkirk smiled at her then told her.

"I would normally, but here in the camp; we can't do that. We still have to wear our uniforms. Now if I was back home in England; I would take it off, but here it's looked down on." He told her. Mary raised a brow at this; then looked ahead.

"So all of you must where your uniforms… but you have war the clothes that I have made you before." She stated. Newkirk nodded his head at this.

"Yeah I have, but I can't run around without a shirt on though. If I had a light weight shirt on; I wouldn't get so hot. But all the shirts you have made me have long sleeves too. I would still get hot, and we are still in a POW camp; so me walking around with short sleeves would not look very… military." He tried to explain a little better. Mary nodded her head at this.

"Oh I see; all of you still have to look military even though you are in a POW camp. Oh okay I understand now." She said now understanding what her love was trying to tell her.

"Yeah, and I have been helping you move things around, and clean. And I can't wear a dress to stay cool." He chuckled. Mary giggled then looked over at her love when she heard him say something else.

"I will never wear another dress again."

"What?.. When did you ever wear a dress?" She asked him in shock, but tried to hold her laughter in. Newkirk smiled wide; then told his love what he had meant.

"Awhile back; three women came to the camp. They had seen some German rockets, and we had to get them to London to save them. They were going to be taken to a women's prison, or maybe even killed. So the Colonel said that we had to get them out of their, and well; a long story short. I, LeBeau, and…" Mary watched her love smile wide.

"And who else?" She asked him. Newkirk started to chuckle a little harder.

"And Colonel Hogan had to dress up in the clothes that looked like theirs… which was dresses.. We had to do a mission; we did get back to the camp, and the women were taken to London by some friends of ours… But I never want to do that again." He looked over when he heard Mary start to laugh harder then she had ever before. Newkirk started to laugh harder as he watched his love lean against him; then fall on to the floor of the porch.

"Oh my god; that is funny." Mary breathed out as she laughed even more. Hearing her laugh; made Newkirk start to laugh as hard as his love did. After a few minutes; they had both calmed down, and Mary sat up. She wiped the tears from her eyes. Newkirk did the same while he tried to stop himself from going into another laughing fit. Mary breathed in and looked down at her clothes.

"I have dirt all over my clothes.. I'm going to go in and change clothes." She told her Huntsman as she stood up, and started to walk to the door. Newkirk nodded his head, and stood up as well. Mary turned to look at him; when she had heard him start to follow her.

"What are you doing? I don't need help." She told him with a wide smile.

"I was going to get us something to drink, but if you want me to help you I can." He told her with a wide sneaky smile. Mary shook her head and told him.

"No, but something to drink would be nice though; maybe something cold." She looked up at her love when he walked closer to her.

"Well I think I know what to make." He told her; then leaned down to kiss her on the lips. The kiss broke and they went back inside.

While her love went into the kitchen to make them something cold to drink; Mary went into their bedroom to change clothes. She took off her outfit, and laid the clothes on the bed. The clothes were not that dirty, but the fabric was too hot on her. While cleaning half the house; Mary had gotten too hot. She had told her love that she had to go, and sit on the porch to cool down. Mary put on the brown pants that she loved to wear, and the dark brown boots. She walked over to the dresser in the room, and opened one of the drawers. She looked over the shirts that she had. Her eyes found one shirt that she was looking forward to wearing when it had gotten warmer. Taking the shirt out of the drawer; Mary closed the drawer to the dresser. Mary narrowed her brows and thought back on what her love had told her. 'I know that I made him a light weight shirt.' She thought to herself. Mary sat down the shirt in her hands on the dresser, and opened the other drawer once again. Her eyes looked over the clothes that she had made her love. With a large smile; Mary pulled out a long sleeve shirt, but was light weight. Mary closed the drawer; then picked up her own shirt. Walking over to the bed; she laid the light weight shirt for her love down, and put on her shirt. Once the shirt was on; Mary walked over to the mirror, and looked at herself.

The shirt was a light blue color. The neckline of the shirt was that of a small 'V'; that stopped at the beginning of her breast. Her eyes looked over the ruffles; that started around her neck, and ended just below her breast. Her hands ran over the smooth fabric that was around her waist, but stopped at her hips. Smiling to herself; Mary looked at the seven small buttons that went down the smooth fabric on the front of the shirt. She pulled lightly at the small strips of ruffles at the end of the shirt; that rested on her hips. Moving her hands up; Mary fixed the short sleeves of the shirt; that stopped at her mid upper arm. With a large smile; Mary turned; and picked up her loves shirt, and walked out of the room. She walked to the kitchen were she found her love making something that looked to be tea in a glass pitcher. Newkirk looked up to see his love standing in the kitchen. A large smile came to his lips; as his eyes looked over her outfit.

"You look great in that." He told her. Mary smiled at him.

"Thank you my handsome Huntsman, but what are you making?" She asked him. Newkirk looked down at the pitcher.

"Oh this is Sweet tea, or ice tea. When I was in training in London; one of the men that I was partnered up with was from America, and he made this for me one day. I have to say that on a hot day, or if you are working hard; it is nice to drink. It cools you down, and is very good." He said with a smile; as he walked over to get them both two glasses. Mary smiled, and couldn't wait to try the tea that her love had made them.

"Eira, What do you have in your hands?" He asked her. Mary walked over to her love and handed him the shirt.

"I had made this for you a while back. It is a long sleeve shirt, but it is light weight." She told him with a large smile. Newkirk smiled as he sat the glasses down; that were in his hands. He reached over, and took the shirt that his love had made him.

"Diolch." He thanked her.

"Eich croeso." Newkirk smiled wide at hearing his love speaking Welsh. He laid down the shirt that his love had made him on the table; then took off his RAF turtleneck, and put on the light weight shirt. The shirt was still the same color as the other, but felt like it would be a lot cooler on him. Newkirk smiled at his love.

"That feels so much better." He told her. Mary smiled wide at hearing this. Newkirk then reached for the glasses, and poured them both some tea. He handed his love her glass, and watched her take a drink. Mary hummed as the cool liquid ran down her throat.

"That is good." She told him. Newkirk took a drink, and nodded his head.

"Yes it is." He looked over toward her when she spoke.

"Should we go, and see if the clothes are dry?" She asked him. Her eyes watched her love nod his head.

"Yeah, they should be dry. I don't think that the bedding will be dry just yet." He told her as he moved out of the kitchen. Mary smiled wide and followed her love out of the kitchen.

They walked outside, and down the steps. Mary walked over to her clothes, and felt them to see if they were still wet. She smiled when she felt that they were indeed dry, and ready to be taken down. Mary looked to the side to see Newkirk placing the basket beside her. She smiled and thanked him. As Mary took the pins off of the clothes; she handed them to her love who placed them in the bag. Mary took Newkirk's clothes off the line first. She folded his clothes before she placed them down in the basket. Once she was done with his clothes; Mary looked down, and saw that the first basket was full. Newkirk picked up the basket; to take it inside. He smiled as he walked up the steps; when he heard his love tell him from behind.

"I could have done that." A larger smile came to his lips; as he turned around to see his love standing near the clothes line with her hands on her hips. Mary narrowed her eyes at him when he told her.

"I know, but…" Newkirk smiled wide as he walked inside; then chuckled as Mary yelled out.

"But what?!" As he walked into their room, and sat the basket down on the bed; he thought to himself. 'She hates it when I don't finish a sentence.' He chuckled again at his thought. When Newkirk walked back outside again; he saw Mary standing there still with her hands on her hips, and giving him a look.

"What?" He asked as he walked down the steps.

"I hate it when you don't finish what you were saying." She told him with a smile. Newkirk grinned at her.

"I know." He told her. Mary now narrowed her brows at him.

"What else were you going to say?" She asked him. Newkirk walked over to her and leaned down.

"Nothing else; I just know that you hate it when I do that." He told her while still grinning wide. Mary rolled her eyes at him.

"Your such an ass." She told him as she moved to take down her clothes. Newkirk chuckled at her words.

As Mary took down her clothes; they did what they had done before. As she took down the clothes; Mary would hand Newkirk the pins to put in the bag. She folded her larger clothes first; like her skirts, and pants. The last things Mary went to fold was the small clothing; like her shirts, and under shirts. Newkirk smiled as he thought of something that he just had to do. He moved around from his loves right side to her left. Mary glanced over toward him, but shrugged it off. With each shirt Mary reached for; Newkirk had to step backwards to let her get the clothing. Newkirk glanced behind himself, and saw that there was one more shirt that had to come down. He smiled wide as he sat the bag down, and took a step backwards. Mary looked up from the basket when he did this. She narrowed her eyes at him, and knew that he was up to something. As she stood back up; her eyes watched her sneaky love take the last under shirt down. He put the pins in the bag; then held up the shirt. Mary waited for her love to fold the shirt, and to put it in the basket. When Newkirk folded the shirt; he kept it in his hands. Mary raised a brow at his actions.

"Peter what are you doing?" She asked him with still a raised brow.

"Nothing." He told her with a wider grin. Mary placed her hands on her hips, and asked him.

"Then why are you not putting my shirt in the basket?" Newkirk looked at the shirt that he now moved into his left hand.

"Oh this shirt… Well I was thinking of taking it." He told her with a sneaky grin. Still grinning; Newkirk looked over at Mary.

"Peter put my shirt in the basket." She told him, and took a step closer toward him. Mary watched as her love took a step back; while shaking his head.

"No I don't think I will." He told her as he took another step back; when she had taken a step forward again.

"Peter… don't make me hurt you." She teased him. Mary gasped when her love replied.

"Little ol' you.. you don't scare me." He told her. Mary opened her mouth, and smiled at the same time.

"Peter.. Give… me… the… shirt." As Mary spoke; she took a step with each word. Newkirk smiled, and stepped backwards with every step she had taken.

"No." He said, and he took off running.

"PETER!" Mary yelled out his name, and ran after him. All the guards, and POWs heard Mary yell out Newkirk's name. They all looked at the two to see if something was wrong. They all smiled as they saw Mary now chasing Newkirk pass the Kommandantur. Hogan and the others walked out of the barracks just in time to see Newkirk run by them. Hogan looked over to see his daughter running after his best friend. The youngest Colonel looked over; when he heard both the POWs and the Guards cheering Mary on.

"What the hell is going on?!" Hogan looked over when he heard his loves voice. Klink had ran outside; when he heard the men yelling. He had feared that the POWs, and the Guards had gotten into a fight. Both Colonel's eyes locked onto each others.

"I don't know really, but they are cheering Mary on." Hogan said with a laugh. Both Colonels watched as Newkirk stopped in-between the buildings. He was looking ahead of him. All turned their heads to see Mary stop ten feet away from him.

"Peter! Give me that shirt!" She yelled at him with a large smile on her lips.

"No.. you will have to catch me to get it." He told her then took the shirt, and placed it into his back pocket. Mary narrowed her eyes at him; then started to run after him. Newkirk took off running around the Kommandantur. Hogan laughed as he watched his daughter run after her love. He looked at his love and yelled out.

"Now we know what's going on!" Klink laughed and looked over toward Schultz.

"Schultz tell all of the guards that Mary and Newkirk are just having some fun, and that it's alright." He told the older Sergeant; then turned to walk back inside. The older Sergeant smiled wide, and did as he was told. Every guard that he walked up to and told; they would all smile wide, and nod their heads.

Mary ran around barracks 2, and looked around. She placed her hands on her knees, and took in some air. She had lost Newkirk when he had turned around barracks 2. She glanced over when she saw her father standing at the door of the small building. She smiled at him. Hogan smiled at her; then moved his head toward the inside of the barracks. Mary understood what her father was telling her. She stood up, and jogged into the barracks. Her eyes looked around the room, and to the men that were in the room. They all looked at her with a smile on their faces. Mary walked into the room, and looked over any place that her love could be hiding. When she didn't see him; she walked over toward her fathers office. She opened the door and saw no one. Mary narrowed her brows together; then heard her loves voice behind her.

"I used the window." He told her at the door of the Barracks. Mary giggled; then went to run after him again. Newkirk ran out of the Barracks, and toward the motor pool. He ran into the garage, and hid behind a car that was deep inside of the building. With Mary; when she had went to run passed her father; Hogan had grabbed her by the arm. Mary looked at him with widen eyes, but softened them when she saw the playful look in his eyes.

"Mary; don't just run after him. He is trying to tire you out. You need to try to out smart him. He took off near the motor pool; so most likely he is inside hiding. You have an IQ of 350… Use it.. and out think him. Try to think of his next move before he makes it. Then try to outmaneuver him; then you will get him right where you want him." He told her with a smile. Mary smiled wide at her father's advice.

"If Peter went towards the motor pool, and is hiding inside… then I would have to see, or find out if there is a way to get out of there from the back." She said while looking at the ground, and trying to catch her breath again.

"Right, and there is a way out of the back of the building. There is a door near the back of the right side of the building…" Hogan began but was cut off by Mary saying.

"So Peter would be near the door; so that when he hears me in the building; he can go out the back door." Mary looked to the side, and thought of away for her to spook her love out of the back door, but be there to get him.

"I will need to come up with a plan to make Peter think that I am in the motor pool, but to be able to get him at the back door." She smiled wide when a plan came to mind. "I got it!" She yelled out, and took off running toward the motor pool. Hogan smiled wide; as he watched his daughter run off. Hogan looked down at the ground; then walked inside. He looked up to see LeBeau and Carter smiling at him. It was Carter who spoke first.

"Wow Colonel; Mary is like you in so many ways." Hogan smiled wide at the young man's words.

"Oui she is; she even thinks like you." Laughed LeBeau.

"She is like me." Hogan said with a smile; then went to walk into his office. Once the door was closed; Hogan walked toward the opened window, and closed it. With a chuckle; he made his way over to his desk. As he sat back down at his desk; he sighed, and said in a low voice. "Thank god; she's not like her mother."

Mary ran toward the motor pool, but stopped just outside of the gates. She looked over, and saw a long rope laying on the ground. 'That will come in handy.' She thought to herself. With a large grin; Mary grabbed the rope, and walked near the building. She slowed her breathing down; to where she was not panting anymore. Getting down low; Mary looked at the entrance of the motor pool. Her eyes looked in the back of the building to see if she could see her sneaky love peeking out. When she didn't see him; her eyes looked over to the side of the entrance, and saw a truck door on the ground, and four pieces of metal that looked like to be parts to a truck. Smiling once again; Mary slowly walked over toward the truck door. She lowered herself once again as she got closer. With the rope; Mary tied the rope around the side of the door, and slowly picked it up. She propped the door up against the pieces of metal that was leaning against the doorway. Once the door was against all of the metal. Mary pulled the rope tight; to keep the door from falling over too soon. She walked around the building still holding the rope tight in her hands. Once she was at the back door that her father had told her about; Mary smiled wide, and let the rope go. The door fell to the ground as well as the four pieces of metal. All the metal made a loud noise when it all fell. Newkirk heard the noise, and moved around toward the back door. He opened the door slowly, and without looking around; he closed the door. He went to turn around, but was pushed up against the now closed door. His face was against the door, and his hands were under him. He was about to moved to push whoever it was holding him against the door; when he heard a voice.

"Got you." Mary purred out, and took the shirt from his back pocket. Mary leaned away from Newkirk, and step back. Newkirk turned around to see his love smiling wide at him. He was shocked that she had outsmarted him.

"How did you?" He asked her while pointing his finger at the door; then back at her. Mary smiled as she walked away. Newkirk looked down at the ground, and saw the rope. He picked up the rope, and followed it around the building to the entrance. He looked at the rope tied to the truck door, and the four pieces of metal; that was on the ground. With a large smile; he turned around.

"You outsmarted me." He told her. Mary smiled wide and nodded her head.

"Yes… yes I did." She told him; then stuck her tongue out at him. Newkirk smiled at her; then walked over toward her.

"Well I guess you win this time." He said with a smile; then leaned down to kiss her on the lips.

"Yes I do." She told him; then stole another kiss, before walking off. Newkirk smiled and followed his love back to the house.

-MN-

Hogan had walked out of the barracks to go to the Kommandantur. He had to tell his love that he had to go out on a mission very soon. He had stopped to see his daughter and Newkirk walking back to the house. He smiled wide when Mary had told him that she had outsmarted her love; his best friend. Hogan had laughed at this, and heard Newkirk tell him what Mary had done to get him. Hogan was impressed at his daughters idea, and how she had carried it out. Hogan then had hugged Mary, and told her that he had to go out on a mission at two that afternoon. Mary had asked him if he could eat lunch or not, and Hogan had told her that he couldn't today. He had watched his daughter smile at him, and nod her head. She told him that she understood why; then asked him if he could ask Klink if she could move somethings around in the kitchen. Hogan told his little girl that he would ask the older man. Mary and Newkirk walked back to the house to put up the rest of the clothes.

Hogan was now in the Kommandantur, and was standing outside of his loves office. He heard Klink talking on the phone. He leaned over to hear that the truck with the food was in Hammelburg now. Hilda walked out of the back room, and looked at the American Colonel. She had came over to the Kommandantur; when she had saw Colonel Hogan walk out of the building. But she was now watching the older man listen to her bosses phone call. She walked over toward him, and stood next to him. Hogan glanced over, and saw the younger woman looking at him with a raised brow.

"What are you doing?" She asked him. Hogan smiled and placed his hand on the back of his head and neck.

"Old habit." He chuckled. Hilda rolled her eyes at him; then walked over to her desk. Hogan dropped his hand, and walked into his loves office. Klink looked up at him, and smiled as he hung up the phone.

"What are you doing here my little fox?" He asked him. Hogan smiled and walked over toward his love.

"Well I was coming over here to tell you that; I have a mission today, and I will miss many roll calls." He told him. Klink nodded his head.

"What time, and where?" Asked his love. Hogan smiled at his love.

"At the Hofbrau, but…" Klink raised a brow.

"But what?" Asked the older man. Klink tried to hide his nerves from his love.

"Well I have to be there at 14:00 hours." Hogan watched the older man look down at his watch.

"Robert that is in an hour and forty minutes." Hogan nodded his head.

"Yeah I know. I will miss a few roll calls, and I need your help with that. I need the guards to know that I'm at the house, but if they don't see me for awhile; then they might think something is up." He told his love while walking over to stand beside the desk. Klink sighed then said.

"I will tell Schultz that you are ill, and will not be able to be at the roll calls. I will tell him; to tell the other guards that as well." He told his young love what he was going to do, but then added. "Just be careful, and watch your back. I can't lose you, and neither can Mary." Hogan smiled at the older man who cared for him.

"I will be alright, and I will watch my back." He told him as he sat on the side of his loves desktop. Klink looked at his love with a loving smile; then listened to what his love asked him.

"So that was the truck with the food?" The younger man watched the older man nod his head.

"Ja it was. They are going to replace any food that has went bad, and they will be here tomorrow."

"I will have to tell Mary that. She will be happy to know that she will get to cook for those in need." Hogan then snapped his fingers together, and asked his love what their daughter had asked him.

"Oh and Mary wants to know if it is alright for her to move things around in the kitchen." Klink raised a brow at this.

"Why would she want to move things around?" He asked him.

"I say that she would want to move things around; so that she can get to them better." The younger told the older. The older Colonel nodded his head.

"Oh I can understand that. She is a small girl, and I say that she hates asking one of us, or our son to get things for her." Hogan smiled at hearing his love call Mary and Newkirk their children. Klink saw his loves smile, and asked.

"Why are you smiling?" Hogan glanced over to his love.

"I just like hearing you call Mary and Newkirk our children is all." He told him. The older Colonel smiled wide.

"I like saying it… Just like I love calling you mine." He said as he leaned forward. The younger Colonel smiled at this; then leaned forward.

"And I love hearing it, and calling you mine too." He told him with a loving smile.

"Where have you been?" Asked Carter to Kinch. Kinch had walked into the barracks, and over to the table. The older Sergeant looked at the younger.

"Regina and I were talking, and getting to know each other." He told him with a large smile. Kinch's eyes looked down to see Carter wrapping Mary's gift in a large blue paper. He smiled to himself as his eyes looked over toward LeBeau who was watching Carter wrap Mary's gift.

"Where's your gift for our little sister?" Kinch asked his small friend. LeBeau looked over with a smile, and said.

"I wrote everything down in the cookbook before Carter wrapped it." Kinch smiled; then looked over at Carter when he spoke to him.

"What about you? Did you work on Mary's gift yet?" He asked him. The older Sergeant shook his head and replied.

"No not yet. I think I should ask Klink if I can use some of the metal in the motor pool first." He stated.

"That would be a good idea." Said Carter as he tried to tie a bow with the blue ribbon. Kinch chuckled as the younger man pushed his lips to the side.

"Give me that. You American's can't even tie a ribbon around a gift." Said LeBeau as he took the large gift from the younger Sergeant. Carter rolled his eyes at the small Frenchman. The two Sergeants looked over when one of the POWs walked over toward them.

"Is Miss Mary's birthday coming up?" He asked them.

"Sure is. It's in a week and three days." Carter replied with a smile; then added. "We are making her gifts."

"What kind of gifts?" He asked.

"Well I made her a cookbook, and LeBeau wrote down all the French recipes that he knows…"

"And I will be making her some turn tables for her cakes; all in different sizes." Kinch cut in. Carter nodded his head at his friends words.

"Well I think that all of us should make that sweet young woman something. She is a very nice young lady, and cares about everyone around her." Said the Senior Airman. Kinch raised a brow and looked at the man.

"Did you talk to Mary?" Asked the Sergeant.

"Yes I did. She had came here to give her father his lunch, and I told her that he was at the house at the time. She was worried that I didn't get something to eat at the Mess Hall." John Riggs smiled at the memory of his talk with Mary; then added. "I think that all of the POWs should make that girl something for her birthday. She has cooked for all of us, and we should all repay her; by making her birthday gifts." Riggs looked over toward Carter when he spoke up.

"I think that's a great idea." He smiled wide. Riggs smiled at the younger man, but thought of something. Kinch saw the slightly older Airman narrow his brows.

"What is it Riggs?" He asked him.

"I will go and talk to the rest of the POWs, and the Guards… but what if Miss Mary comes outside, and sees everyone talking to each other; she might wonder what is going on." Said Riggs as he lifted his hand up to his chin.

"Oui he has a point. If our little sister sees all of us in a large group; she will want to know what is going on." Said LeBeau. They all looked over at Carter when he spoke up.

"Mary and Newkirk are cleaning the house. Us three could go over there, and help them clean. We can tell Newkirk what is going on, and he can help us keep her inside."

"Hey that's a good idea Andrew." Said Kinch as he got up. "Lets go over there now, and Riggs you tell everyone what is going on." Riggs nodded his head at the Sergeant.

"I will do that." He told him, and walked out of the barracks. Kinch, Carter, and LeBeau walked out after Riggs, and went over to the house.

-MN-

In the house; Mary was cleaning her fathers bedroom. She sat the rag down, and looked into the bathroom to see her love. She smiled wide as she watched him clean the bathtub. Leaning against the doorway of the bathroom; Mary folded her arms, and watched her love. While Newkirk was ringing out the rag; he saw someone standing against the doorframe. He turned his head to see his love smiling at him while leaning against the doorframe. He raised a brow, and went to ask his love why she was staring at him; when Mary walked over and stood on her tip toes. She placed her hands on his chest, and kissed him on the lips. Once the kiss broke; Newkirk asked her.

"What was that for?" Mary smiled as she leaned back down.

"For helping me." She told him. Newkirk smiled wide at his loves words.

"Eira, I will always help you with anything you need help with." He told her.

"I know, but I think that you needed a reward for it." She told him with a loving smile. Newkirk smiled at her; then replied.

"My reward is you loving me." After he had spoke; Newkirk hugged his love.

"So do we get a kiss for helping you?" Both looked over when they heard Carter's voice. Mary smiled and replied.

"A kiss on the cheek is all; my lips belong to Peter." She told her youngest older brother. Mary glanced up to see her loves cheeks redden. With a giggle; Mary ended the hug, and walked out of the bathroom, and into the living room. There she saw her two other brothers.

"What are you three doing here anyway?" She asked them. She looked over when she heard LeBeau speak.

"We came over to help you finish cleaning." He told her. Mary smiled wide at this news.

"What do you have left sis?" Asked Kinch. Mary turned her head, and thought on what needed to be done.

"Well the kitchen is the last room, but the floors need to be swept and mopped…"

"I can sweep the floors, and mop them." Mary turned around when she heard Carter's voice again.

"Thank you Andrew." She thanked him.

"And we can help you clean the kitchen." Said Kinch. Mary smiled wide at her brothers. They all looked over when they heard the front door open. Mary smiled wide, and walked over to hug her father.

"Papa, I have not seen you for awhile." She told him. Hogan smiled, and hugged his daughter back.

"And I have not seen you for awhile either." He told her; then ended the hug. Mary looked at her father with a raised brow.

"Papa what is it?" She asked him. Hogan smiled down at her; then said.

"I have to get ready for the mission in a few minutes. But I did ask Klink if you could move things around in the kitchen, and he said that you could, and that the truck with the food for the churches will be here tomorrow." Mary smiled at this news.

"Oh Papa that's wonderful. I can't wait for the food to get here; so that I can start cooking for everyone. And I am glad that I can moved things around in the kitchen too. Now I can reach things without climbing up on a chair…"

"What?" Mary's eyes widen slightly; when she heard Newkirk's voice behind her. Mary did a quick smile, and turned her head to the side.

"What?" She asked him still smiling wide. Newkirk narrowed his eyes at his love, and walked over toward her.

"Don't play that with me. This whole time; you have been standing up on a chair to be able to reach things?" He asked her. Mary's smile turned into a large grin.

"I don't know what you are talking about?" She said as she batted her eyes at him. Carter, Kinch, and LeBeau as well as Hogan smiled when she did this. It was when Newkirk tilted his head to the side, and narrowed his eyes once again; is when Mary gave in.

"Alright I did. I am a short girl, and sometimes I need to get taller; to reach things." She told him while rolling her eyes.

"You could have gotten me, or one of your fathers to get something for you." He stated. Mary smiled again, and told him why she didn't get them.

"Well I would have.. but all of you looked so cute asleep." Newkirk rolled his eyes at this.

"Really? We looked cute sleeping?" He asked; then added. "Or did you not want to wake us, because you are stubborn like Colonel Hogan." Hogan's eyes went from his daughter to his best friend.

"Hey!" Hogan said kind of loudly.

"Well that too." Hogan looked back over toward his daughter again.

"Hey! I'm not stubborn!" He told them. Mary turned her head, and told her father the truth.

"Papa you are stubborn. Like Vater said; you are as stubborn as a mule." Hogan looked to the side with widen eyes. Mary giggled at her father's reaction; then looked back over toward her love when he spoke again.

"Come on little Robert; lets clean the kitchen, and move things around so that you don't climb on a chair again." Hogan turned his head back around; to look at his best friend who was smiling wide at him.

"Alright." Said Mary as she walked toward the kitchen. Once Mary was out of the room; Newkirk looked over toward Hogan.

"You have a mission in town?" He asked him. Hogan shook his head, and spoke.

"Yeah I do. I have to go and meet this Little Boy Blue at the Hofbrau. I will be going as Major Hoople of the Gestapo." He told him.

"Do you need help with anything Colonel?" Asked Kinch. Hogan looked over toward him, and nodded his head.

"Yeah I do. I need some new papers made up. I will be going out at 14:00 hours." He told him; then looked over toward Mary when she spoke.

"You will miss a lot of roll calls; won't you?" She asked him. Mary had came out of the kitchen; when she had turned around, and saw that her love was not behind her. Hogan nodded his head at her question.

"Yeah I will, but Will said that he would tell Schultz; that I was not feeling good, and that I am laying down here in the house." He told her. Mary nodded her head.

"Alright, but I do have to ask one thing before you go and get ready." Hogan raised a brow.

"What is that?" He asked her.

"Major Hoople?.. What kind of name is that?" She asked him while giggling. Hogan smiled wide at her; while Newkirk and the other's chuckled.

"I came up with it on the spot awhile back." He told her with a smile. Mary shook her head and replied.

"Papa, I think that you need to come up with some better names." She told him; then walked back into the kitchen. Hogan chuckled; then moved over to the stove, and pushed it out of the way. Kinch followed him down into the tunnel; as LeBeau, and Carter went to help their nonblood sister. Newkirk smiled and shook his head. 'I think that all of us need to come up with better code names.' He thought to himself.

"Oh Peter." He smiled wide; as he heard his love sing out his name.

"Coming little Robert." He called out; then laughed as he heard his love groan out in annoyance.

It was now 14:00 hours, and Hogan was dressed in a Gestapo uniform. He walked threw the doorway of the Hofbrau. He looked over, and saw a man with some blue flowers on a table. He walked over toward the man, and nodded his head at him. The man was dressed in a Luftwaffe Captain's uniform. Hogan asked the man if he would like some company. The man nodded his head, and moved his hand to show Hogan that he could sit down.

"Danke." Hogan said as he sat down.

"You are welcome." The man replied to him. Hogan looked at the flowers on the table and smiled.

"The flowers are very blue today." Said Hogan as he looked at the man's face to hear him say the next part of the code.

"Yes, blue like the sky in spring." Said the man. Hogan leaned forward, and picked up the flowers. As he did this; he spoke.

"You Little Boy Blue?" He asked. The man nodded his head.

"Yes I am, and your Papa Bear?" He asked. Hogan nodded his head slightly. The man smiled at this news.

"Good, there will be a train carrying Luftwaffe plane parts. The train will be on the east track at 23:00 hours. The bosses need you to blow up the train at that time." Hogan looked at the flowers, but narrowed his brows.

"I can't stay out of camp that long." He told him.

"Your going to have too. I am leaving to go back home, and the underground is laying low, because of the Gestapo." Hogan looked over at the man now.

"Gestapo?" He asked. The man nodded his head again.

"Yes. They are looking for you and myself. They are everywhere, and no one is going to do this. You are the only one crazy enough to do it, and to pull it off." Said the man. Hogan smiled a small smile; then nodded his head.

"Alright I will do it, but I don't know how I will do it alone. I can't risk bringing my men into this." He told the man. The other nodded his head, and stood up.

"You can do this." Hogan looked up at the man when he added. "And you can keep the flowers." He told him and walked off. Hogan sighed and stood up. He walked over to the woman behind the counter, and gave her the flowers. She smiled, and thanked him. 'Damn… How am I going to do this?' He thought to himself as he left the building.

"You there stop!" Hogan's eyes widen; when he heard a voice behind him. He turned around and calmed himself.

"Ja, what do you want?" He asked. In front of him were two young men dressed in their Gestapo uniforms.

"Where are your papers?" Asked one of the Gestapo men. Hogan sighed and got out his papers.

"I am Major Hoople. I was told to come here to Hammelburg." He told them as he handed them his papers. One of the men looked at the papers; then looked up at him.

"And why would they ask you to come here Herr Major?" He asked him. Hogan sighed again, and went to speak when he heard someone walk behind him. He looked to the side; to see if he was in the persons way.

"I asked you a question Major?!" Yelled the man. Hogan looked back at him, and frowned.

"I heard you boy. I was told to come here to be schooled by Major Hochstetter on how to run my headquarters back in Bremen." Hogan lied to the men.

"So, Herr Major Hochstetter is to teach you huh?" He asked. Hogan rolled his eyes at the man.

"Ja you dummkopf." He raised his voice; then added. "Hochstetter and I know each other." He somewhat lied.

"Oh really?" Hogan watched the man look behind him. Hogan's heart raced at what the man said next.

"Herr Major Hochstetter; do you know this Major?" Hogan turned around to see Hochstetter turning around to look at him.

Mary stood in the middle of the kitchen and looked around. Her eyes looked over the food that was on the counters. With a frown she looked up at the cabinets, and shook her head. There was no way for her to move the food as well as the other things around. Newkirk saw this, and tried to think of something. The cabinets were too high for his love to reach many items without help, but everything had a place. Kinch and LeBeau were sitting at the table trying to think how to help their little sister. With a sigh; Mary gave up, and said.

"There is no other way around it. Everything has a place, and I can't really change things around." Newkirk looked over when he heard the sadness in his loves voice. He then looked over toward LeBeau when he spoke.

"If you had a tall cabinet to put the food in; then that would help." He told the young woman who he saw as a sister. Mary nodded her head.

"Yes that would help, but I don't know if Vater would want a floor cabinet in the kitchen though." She replied. Kinch smiled and told her.

"Mary when it comes to you; I know that Klink wouldn't mind at all, and he knows that you are smaller than the rest of us." Mary smiled at this.

"I know, but that would mean that one of you would have to build it for me… and I don't want you to put yourself out like that." Kinch smiled wide; then stood up.

"Don't worry sis. I don't mind, and it will not take that long." He told her. Mary looked to the side and wasn't sure if she wanted to ask him to make her one, or not. She looked over when her love spoke up.

"Eira, you can ask Kinch to make it for you. You need to start asking for help, and not trying to do everything for yourself… And if you don't; than I will get up before you, and come in here to help you cook… every… morning." Mary narrowed her eyes at him. She knew that her Huntsman would do it too. With a loud sigh; Mary gave in again.

"Alright." She turned her head over to look at the man she called brother, and asked. "James, would you please build me a tall cabinet please?" She asked him. Kinch smiled and nodded his head.

"Yes I will, and it will not take that long." He told her with a smile; then walked out of the kitchen. Mary smiled; then looked at LeBeau as he got up.

"Devons-nous nettoyer la cuisine, pendant qu'il est parti?" Asked LeBeau.

"Oui, je pense que nous devrions." Said Mary. Her eyes watched a large smile come to LeBeau's lips. Newkirk narrowed one eye, but raised a brow. He went to ask Mary what they had said, but watched the two start to move the food to the table. He nodded his head; when he saw Mary, and his small friend start to clean the kitchen.

After an hour of cleaning the kitchen. Mary had went to the bathroom, but when she had came back out; Newkirk noticed that Mary was not talking as much as she was. She was moving slowly, and she looked as if something was on her mind. He narrowed his brows, and watched his love even closer. His eyes widen when he saw that her face was paler than normal. Then when Mary placed her hand over her lower stomach, and closed her eyes; is when Newkirk knew that his love was indeed in pain. LeBeau looked up at his taller friend to ask him a question, but stopped when he saw the Englishman was looking ahead of him; with worry in his eyes. LeBeau looked over toward his nonblood little sister, and saw what his friend did. Newkirk walked over toward his love, and took one of her hands into his. Mary opened her eyes, and turned her head up to look at her love.

"Peter, what's…" Mary started, but her loves words cut her off.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling alright?" He asked her. Mary smiled at him.

"I'm okay Peter." She told him. Newkirk leaned in to look into her eyes.

"No your not. I can see pain in your eyes… Mary what's wrong?" He asked her. Mary smiled a loving smile.

"Your right there is something wrong, and I am in pain… I guess you can read it in my eyes; like I can yours." She giggled, but saw the worry in her loves eyes.

"My head is hurting, and my lower stomach is hurting too… I do know why though." She admitted. Newkirk narrowed his brows in worry; then asked.

"Do you need me to call Kreizler?" He asked her. Mary smiled at him, and shook her head lightly.

"No, I think that I need to go and talk to Mama though." She told him. Newkirk now raised a brow, and turned his head to the side. Mary giggled when she saw his eyes widen some, and turn his head back over toward her.

"Oh… yeah I think you should go and talk to her, because I can't help you with that." He smiled at her. Mary nodded her head; then went to walk away, but stopped when her love spoke again.

"Mary just remember that this is normal, and your not mis…"

"I know Peter." She told him; as she raised up to kiss him on the lips. The kiss broke, and Mary walked out of the kitchen. Newkirk looked over toward LeBeau who was looking at him oddly.

"What did you mean by 'not mis'?" He asked him. Newkirk sighed; then told his small friend.

"Mary's mother told her when she was to bleed once a month; that she was miscarrying a baby… Mary had believed her up until Hilda talked to her… That damn woman should be glad she's dead… because if she wasn't… I would kill her myself." LeBeau widen his eyes for two reasons. One was; what his taller friend had told him, and the other was; the look in Newkirk's eyes. The look was of that of pure hate. As Newkirk turned to put a glass up in the cabinet; LeBeau thought to himself. 'I have never seen Pierre hate someone so much. I know what Mary's mother did, and told her was wrong on so many levels… but Pierre hates this Lizzie. I don't blame him, but I have to say; that if she was still alive… then Pierre would kill this woman slowly.' It was when Carter walked into the kitchen with a bucket; is what brought LeBeau out of his thoughts. Both men looked over toward the younger man.

"Okay I swept the floors… now I have to mop." He told them. Carter looked up to see where his nonblood little sister was. When he didn't see her; he asked.

"Hey where is…" Newkirk cut in by saying.

"She went to see Hilda about some female things." Carter raised a brow; then understood what his older friend was telling him.

"Ohhh."

"Herr Major Hochstetter; do you know this Major?" Hochstetter turned around to see two of his men standing with a man that looked similar to Colonel Hogan, but wasn't. The man moved quickly before Hochstetter could have a chance to tell the two men; that he didn't know the man before him. The slightly younger man smiled wide, and hugged him quickly. This caught Hochstetter off guard. In his ear he heard this man whisper in a voice; that he knew too well.

"Wolfgang it's me Hogan." Hogan pulled back, and began to lie once again. "Wolfgang, I have not seen you in so long my friend. When I told my daughter that I was coming to see you; she told me to tell you that she sends her love." Said Hogan in perfect German. Hochstetter's eyes widen some, but went back to normal.

"Ja I know him." Said the Major with an eye roll. Hochstetter then looked at the two men behind Hogan. He held up his hand, and told them.

"You two go on what you were doing." He told them. Both men nodded their heads, and walked off. Once they were gone; Hogan breathed out.

"Oh thank god… I thought I was a dead man there for a minute." Hochstetter shook his head; then chuckled.

"Well you are alive… Major…" He waited for Hogan to finish for him.

"Hoople. It's Major Hoople." Hogan watched the slightly older man raise a brow.

"Hoople… there are so so many names in Germany, and you go with Hoople?" He asked him. Hogan looked to the side.

"Why does everyone make fun of that name?" He asked mostly to himself; then looked over toward Hochstetter when he spoke again.

"Because it's a stupid name." Hogan pushed his lips together, and narrowed his eyes. Hochstetter couldn't help himself; he had to laugh at the face that his once enemy was giving him.

"What are you doing here…" The slightly older man chuckled again; then added. "Major Hoople." Hogan looked down at the ground with a smile on his face.

"I had to come here to get intel from an underground agent." He told him. Hochstetter nodded his head.

"Well do you have to go back home, or can you stay out for awhile?" He asked him. Hogan stepped closer, and whispered.

"I have to blow a train at 23:00 hours tonight, and I can't risk going back out; so I have to stay out until then and do the mission." He told him. The Major nodded his head again.

"Well you can't be seen alone out; especially after the lie you just told them. I will stay with you; so that they think that I am teaching you… whatever.. But if they see you alone; then they will think something is wrong." Hogan nodded his head; at what the Major had just said. Then listened to what his new friend said next.

"So, why don't we go, and get something to eat; then I will help you." Hogan raised a brow at the slightly older man's words.

"Really? You would want to…"

"To show you that I had meant what I had said before… yes." Hochstetter said with a smile. Hogan smiled and nodded his head.

"Alright my friend; lets go and get something to eat." Hogan turned around and walked back into the Hofbrau. The slightly older man shook his head at the younger man's action.

"How does Klink put up with him?" He asked himself with a smile, and followed the younger man.

-MN-

Mary walked over to the VIP Quarters in a quick pace. As Mary walked closer to the small house; she began to get scared. Her mother had told her so many things that was wrong, but Mary still feared that they were true. She could hear her mother's voice in her ear as she walked. 'You know that every time you bleed; that's a baby inside of you dying… Because it knows that you will be it's mother.. And you are a demon from hell; so it wants to die; to get away from you..' Mary quicken her pace to a jog; as her heart began to race like her mind. 'What if I will not be a good mother? What if what mama said was true! I could still turn into her, and hate my own child! Then Peter will leave me, and never want to see me again!' As the thoughts raced threw Mary's mind; she began to run to the only woman that she knew that would help her. Mary didn't notice the POWs and some of the guards standing in a circle as she ran by them. But they noticed her. Riggs and the others looked at the younger woman with widen eyes. With Mary; her mind was on getting to Hilda as soon as possible. Mary ran up the steps of the small home. She opened the door so fast; that it hit the wall behind it. Hilda and Regina looked over toward the door; when they heard the door hit the wall. They watched Mary's eyes land on Hilda; who was looking at her with widen eyes. Hilda's eyes widen when she saw the fear on Mary's face.

"Mary! What is it!?" Hilda asked loudly as she stood up. Mary ran over to the older woman, and wrapped her arms around her. Hilda wrapped her arms around the younger woman; who had a death grip on her. Hilda's eyes widen even more when Mary started to cry.

"Mary, what is it sweetheart?" Hilda asked again, but in a sweet voice. The younger woman hugged her tighter; then spoke in a shaken voice.

"I am bleeding again… I … I know that's normal, but… I … I can hear her voice in my mind." Mary cried out louder. Hilda sighed, and hugged the young woman tighter.

"Mary it's alright. It's normal for a woman to bleed once a month… And your mother shouldn't have told you that. Mary, my sweet daughter; you are alright, and there is no way that you are miscarrying a baby honey." When her daughter said this; Regina's eyes widen once again. She got up from her seat, and turned toward the younger woman, and her daughter. When Regina placed her hand on Mary's shoulder; Mary jumped slightly.

"Mary, sweet child… it's alright, and you have us here to help you… Now lets get you somethings to help with it, and then we can all talk about anything you want to know." Mary leaned away from Hilda slightly, and looked at the older woman.

"Mutter is right; lets get you something for it, and all three of us will talk about it." Mary looked back at the woman who she was still holding onto. With a nod of her head; Mary let go of Hilda, and followed the two women into the bedroom. Mary walked in, and saw Hilda walk over to her bag. She reached in, and got what Mary would need.

"Do you know how to put it on?" She asked her. Mary shook her head no. Hilda smiled, and took her into the bathroom to show the young woman what to do. Regina had walked out into the living room, and sat back down. 'That sweet girls mother actually told her that?... What a bitch!... I could have never done that to Hilda, and that woman told her daughter that!' As Regina sat on the sofa with her thoughts; she could feel her anger rising within her. When she heard her daughter's voice walking back into the room; Regina tried to calm herself. She looked over toward the two younger women with a loving smile.

"Here Mary, you sit in-between us, and we will talk about this." As Mary sat down; tears started to fall from her eyes once again.

"Mary… honey what's going threw your mind right now?" Asked Hilda in a motherly voice.

"I don't want to become like Mama… I fear that I will become her. What if I do what she did to me; to my own children? Or what if Peter leaves me because I can't have a child! I fear becoming her!" As Mary spoke; the tears grew larger, and her voice got louder. Hilda moved closer, and hugged the young woman once again.

"Mary sweetheart, Peter will not leave you; he loves you greatly. And you will have children, and when you do; you will love them so much.. Just like you do with everyone around you now." Hilda told her with a loving smile. Mary shook her head at this.

"No! She told me that was the child wanting to get away from me!… That they wouldn't want me as their mother!" Mary laid herself against Hilda's chest as she cried even more. As Mary cried even harder; Regina felt her blood get hot once again.

"I will become her…" Mary cried; then looked over toward Regina when she spoke loudly.

"Mary that's enough!" Both Mary and Hilda looked over toward Regina as she stood up, and looked down at them.

"Mutter!" Hilda said in a harsh voice; then added. "Do you want to send her into a flashback?" Hilda asked her mother. Regina looked over toward her daughter with a strong look; then looked back down at Mary with a somewhat softer look.

"Mary, are you using Peter? Do you love him, or do you just want his money? Will you leave him when he has no money? Will you be with him when he is rich, or poor, or ill?" Mary leaned up, and looked at the woman that stood in front of her.

"No, I'm not using him. I love Peter with all my life! I don't care if he has money or not! I would live in a cave with him if we had too. I want to go where he goes. I don't care if he is rich, or poor… and I would take care of him when he is ill! I LOVE HIM!" Hilda pushed her head back; when Mary yelled the last part out.

"THEN YOU ARE NOT LIKE YOUR MOTHER!.. You think your mother cared for any of the men she was with! Do you think that she cared about your father? Because she didn't if she left him like she did! Yes what she said to you and told you was wrong of her to do!... But you can't let her words get to you now…" Regina had softened her voice near the end, and now moved down onto her knees in front of the younger woman.

"Mary, you are so different from her. You want to help everyone around you; where she only wanted to hurt everyone around her. Hilda told me that you want to cook food for the people of Germany, and make clothes for them… Sweetheart… that is not what your mother would do.. You are not her, and any child you have.. will love you, and will be damn happy to have you as it's mother. Don't let her get to you now.. She is dead, and is paying for all her sins… you are not paying for hers. When you have a child; you will love it so much, because that child is apart of you, and apart of Peter. You will be an amazing mother." Regina moved her left hand up, and placed it on Mary's cheek. Mary smiled wide at this action.

"I will be an amazing mother… and Peter will be an amazing father… Danke.. Großmutter." Mary said with new happy tears running down her cheeks. Regina smiled wide at hearing the young woman call her Grandmother.

It was now 17:00 hours, and both men were now walking up to one's apartment. As Hochstetter opened the door; Hogan looked around the room. He raised a brow, and saw hardly anything. There was some furniture, but not much. He smiled to himself, and shook his head. The Gestapo Major saw this, and went to ask the slightly younger man what was wrong; when Hogan asked him if he could use the phone. Before Hogan picked up the phone; he asked if the lines between the apartment, and the camp was bugged. Hochstetter shook his head, and told him no; that there had not been a bug to the camps phone for a good while, and that his phone has never been bugged. Hogan nodded his head, and picked up the handset. The slightly younger man asked to be connected to the camp in perfect German. The slightly older man smiled as he took off his hat and coat. 'It's hard to imagine; that I had actually believed Hogan when he said that he couldn't speak German.' The Major thought to himself; as he took the piece of paper out of his pocket, and sat it down on the small table near the door. Hochstetter turned around to see the younger man waiting for the phone to be answered. Finally the phone was answered by the older Colonel, and both men in the room; could hear the older man's voice.

"Stalag 13, Kommandant Klink speaking."

"Hey it's me…" Both men's eyes widen when they heard what the older man said next.

"WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!" Hogan did a sideways smile, and raised his hand up to rub the back of his neck and head.

"Well I ran into some trouble, and Hochstetter got me out of it. I still have to finish my job…" Hogan began, but was interrupted by his loves voice again.

"AND YOU WAITED UNTIL NOW TO CALL!?" Hogan closed his eyes as the older man yelled at him.

"Yeah sorry about that. We had went out to eat, and got to talking and… well lost track of time." Hogan opened his eyes when he heard his love sigh heavily.

"Alright, but you are lucky that our little girl has not asked where you are at yet. Newkirk had came over here not too long ago to tell me; that Mary had went to talk to Hilda at the VIP Quarters, and that she will be over there for awhile…" It was now Hogan's turned to interrupt his love.

"What happened? Is Mary alright?" He asked the older man; as Hochstetter quickly walked over toward the slightly younger man when he heard Mary's name being said.

"Newkirk told me that Mary had… well… uhm… lets say that Mary had gotten a visit from a friend today, and is upset about it. But I know that Hilda will calm her down, and be there for her." Hogan raised a brow at what his love had told him. He looked over toward Hochstetter; who was looking at him with also a raised brow.

"Wait her friend came over, and she's upset? What did this friend say to her?" He asked in a strong voice; that made the Major look over towards the slightly younger man with a smile.

"And where did she meet this friend of hers, and where are they?" Hogan asked his love now in a voice that showed his anger. 'No one is going to upset my little girl and get away with it!' Hogan thought to himself.

"My little fox, no one came to the camp, and this friend is not a real person. I was trying to be discreet…" The older man was interrupted by his love again.

"Hold it hold it hold it… what do you mean that this friend is not real…" Hochstetter looked to the side, and thought on what the older Colonel had said. Then chuckled softly; when he heard a heavy sigh from the other end of the phoneline.

"Robert you dummkopf; there… is… no… real… friend. I was trying to say what was wrong with our little girl; without coming out and saying it… All women get a visit from this friend every month." Over the end of the phone; Klink lowered his head as he placed his fingers to the bridge of his nose. 'Come on Robert; please get this, because I don't want to come out and say it.' Klink begged his love in his mind; to understand what he was trying to tell him. With Hogan; he had tilted his head, and went to ask again; when Hochstetter sighed, and placed his hand on the younger Colonel's shoulder and tried to help both Colonel's.

"Think about it Hogan.. A friend that is not real, and Klink is basically telling you what is wrong with Mary…" Hogan narrowed one eye; as he looked at the Major with a confused look. Hochstetter sighed again as he lowered his head, and placed his fingers on his forehead.

"You are a dummkopf at times.. Think about it Hogan… a woman's friend that is not real, but comes once a month for a visit." It took Hogan a few seconds to get what both men were trying to tell him. Hogan's eyes widen when he realized what both of the older men were telling him.

"Oh that friend… Oh… oh… oh.. Is Mary alright?.. I know what that bitch Lizzie had told her before, and I know that Newkirk will be there for her, but Mary could be having a flashback to when Lizzie had told her that." On the other end of the phone; Klink nodded his head as he dropped his hand. 'Finally he gets it.' He thought to himself; then spoke to his love.

"I will go and check on her after we get off the phone. Just don't get in too late, because I say after Mary gets back to the house; she will want to know where you are." He told his love. On the other end of the line; Hogan nodded his head.

"I will have to take care of business at 23:00 hours; then I will be home." He told the older Colonel. Klink sighed at this news.

"I hate to say it, but you need to finish it now and not wait any longer." Hogan sighed and told the truth.

"I can't just finish the job now. The train will not be here until 23:00 hours. I can't go to where it is now. I have no way to get there…" The younger man looked over toward the Major when he spoke up.

"I can drive you there." Hogan raised a brow at what the Major had said.

"You can?" He asked. Hochstetter sighed and shifted his weight to his left leg.

"Yes Hogan, I can drive you there. I am on your side now, and I am willing to help you.. I can drive us to where the train is at. I can stop the train from leaving; by telling the men there; that there is an underground agent on the train. You can get on the train, and 'have a look around'. While I talk to the men; you can plant a bomb on the train. Then when I clear the place; the train pulls out, and blows up; at whatever time you set on the bomb." Hogan smiled at the man's words. He had never thought that he would be able to finish a mission in this way before. With a chuckle; Hogan spoke.

"I am so used to waiting, and doing things at night; that I hadn't thought about that." Hochstetter smiled at him. Over the phone both men could here what was said next by the Kommandant of the camp.

"I can look, and see what times the train will be in, and where." Hogan smiled at his loves words.

"Yeah could you do that?" Hogan asked his love. Over the other end of the phoneline; Klink moved the papers around on his desk. His eyes looked over every piece of paper that was on the desk. Soon his eyes spotted what he was looking for.

"Alright… what train is it that you are looking for?" He asked.

"I don't know the name of it, but it's carrying Luftwaffe plane parts." He told him. Klink looked over the list until he found the one that his love was going to bomb.

"Here it is. That train was in Düsseldorf, and had just left Osnabruck… and will be in Bremen in three hours. By the time the both of you get there; you will have an hour before the train pulls in." He told them. Hogan smiled wide, and went to thank his love, but stopped when the older man spoke again.

"Remember Robert, you need to follow Hochstetter's lead on this. They will know who he is, but not you. If you out shine him; then they may think something is wrong. Follow his lead Robert, and do as told." Klink warned his love. On the other end of the phone; Hogan frowned slightly; as Hochstetter smiled wide.

"I will, and we will both be careful." He told him in an unhappy voice. With Klink; he smiled wide at the sound of his loves unhappy voice.

"Good… now go and get this over with. I will go and check on Mary. Then after you get done with your fun; have Hochstetter drive you to the camp, but come in threw the tunnels." He told him. Hogan smiled at this; then said.

"So you are running the show now?" He asked him. On Klink's side of the phoneline; the older man grinned wide.

"Yes, because I know how you are my little fox.. And I know that you like to cause trouble wherever you go." Hogan's mouth dropped when his love had said this. He was about to say something back, but stopped when he heard Hochstetter laughing lightly. With a sigh; Hogan spoke again.

"Alright mama hen Klink. Go and tell Carter to make a bomb up for us, and we will stop by and get it." Hogan grinned, and hung up the phone, before his love could say something back. Hogan laughed to himself; then looked over toward Hochstetter who had heard what the older man had said. Hogan rolled his eyes; then spoke to the Major.

"Okay so how are we going to do this?" He asked.

"Don't worry about that; you let me do what I do, and you do what you do." Hogan chuckled at this; then followed the slightly older man to the door. Hogan looked around the apartment again, and smiled once again. Hochstetter saw this again.

"What is that smile for?" He asked him. Hogan didn't turn his head toward the Major, but looked at the gift on the table.

"Your apartment reminds me of mine back home. I don't have hardly anything really either." He said with a smile. Hochstetter smiled as he put his coat back on. He looked back at the younger man when he spoke again.

"Is that Mary's gift on the table?" He asked him. The Major looked over and nodded his head.

"Ja it is."

"What did you get her?" Hogan asked him; wanting to know.

"Do you really want to know Hogan?" The Major asked the younger Colonel. Hogan raised a brow, and looked back at the gift.

"Well I have to know now." Hochstetter chuckled at the younger man. He reached over, and grabbed a piece of paper that was on the small table that was beside the door. He handed the paper over to the man that he once hated. Hogan looked at the paper with widen eyes.

"You got her this!?" He asked him in a loud voice. The slightly older man laughed lightly at the younger man's reaction.

"Ja I did. I thought that she could wear it on her wedding day." He told him. Hogan smiled at the image of his little girl wearing what the Major had bought her. As the Major put on his hat; he heard the younger Colonel speak again.

"You know Wolfgang…" Hochstetter looked over with a raised brow.

"What?" He asked; then laughed at what was said.

"You are making me look like a bad father." Hogan said with a smile.

"Well I have no children, and I say that I will never have any; so in a way I do see Mary as a daughter… But I will not call her that though." Hogan raised a brow; at the slightly older man's statement.

"Why not?" He asked him.

"Hogan, Mary calls Klink, Vater, and you are naturally her father; so I don't think she can call all three of us father… Mainly if we are all in the same room." The younger man chuckled at this; then thought of something as the Major reached for the door.

"Well she could call you godfather." Hochstetter stopped, and looked over toward the younger man with widen eyes.

"What?" He asked him. Hogan nodded his head.

"Mary can call you godfather… I was thinking of asking you. Mary thinks the world of you, and I know that you can, and could keep her as well as Newkirk safe… … So, Wolfgang will you be Mary's godfather?" Hogan asked. Hochstetter stood at the door with widen eyes.

-MN-

After Klink hung up the phone; he laid back into his chair. He thought on what he had heard the Major had said to his love. 'Hochstetter is willing to help Robert with this mission?' Narrowing his eyes; Klink leaned forward, and picked up the phone again. He said the name of the person that he wanted to talk to. As he waited for the person to answer the phone; Klink felt bad for what he was about to do. When he heard a voice; he told them what he wanted them to do for him. Klink smiled to himself; when the voice said that they would do this for him.

After hanging the phone up again; Klink got up from his chair, and made his way out of the Kommandantur. He looked over to see the POWs and the guards in a large group. With a raised brow; Klink walked over toward the large group of men. The POWs and guards looked over toward him; as he walked up to them. He looked over toward Schultz, and asked.

"What is going on here?" The fat Sergeant smiled wide; then spoke.

"Herr Kommandant, the Prisoner's, and the guards are wanting to get, and make Lady Mary birthday gifts." A few of the POWs looked at the older man with worried eyes. They didn't think that this German man would let them do what they wanted to do; for the sweet young lady. They all raised a brow; when they saw a large smile come to the older Colonel's lips.

"I think that is a great idea. All of you can make, or buy Lady Mary birthday gifts. I know that she will be more than happy to receive the gifts from all of you… Now I will let all of you know this now; Lady Mary will try not to take the gifts, or she will try to give them back… Her mother and step father had in the past; has beaten her for.. I say asking for things, or for help. I will also say; even for keeping the smallest of gifts.. Now I will also tell all of you this…" Klink looked at each prisoner and guard, before he added.

"Lady Mary's birthdays in the past; has been full of fear, and has been damn right painful. Her step father… lets say used her for his own fun; on that day. She may have a flashback on some of the things he had done to her, or what her mother has told her in the past… I do ask all of you to not to tell Lady Mary; that I have told any of you this… nor Colonel Hogan, or Newkirk. We all want Lady Mary's birthday to be the best one she will ever have." As Klink spoke; all of the POWs, and guard's eyes had widen at this news. They had never thought that this sweet young lady would have went threw that much hell.

"So.. We can make her gifts?" Asked Riggs. Klink looked over toward him and smiled.

"Yes you can. If all of you would like; I could tell you what all would be the best gifts for her?" The older Colonel looked over toward Kingston when he spoke up now.

"That would help us a lot thank you." Klink smiled; then started to tell the men what Mary liked.

"Well, she loves to read books, and I say that it wouldn't matter if they were fact or fiction. I say that she would also like blank books to write in as well. I'm also sure that Mary would love it if some of you would draw, or paint her some pictures, and make some frames to put them in. And I know all of you know that she loves to cook, bake, and to make her own clothes." As Klink spoke; he saw all of the men light up with ideas on what to make for the young woman that they all loved.

"We'll get started on them now, but I say that some of us will need things from the motor pool.. Would it be alright for us to use the tools, and other things to make her gifts?" Asked Riggs. Klink nodded his head at the man's question.

"I don't see no problem with that." He told them with a smile.

After the men had all walked away; Klink made his way toward the small house that his little girl was in. The older man hoped that Hilda, and her mother would help his little girl. Klink walked up the steps of the house, and opened the door. He walked in, and saw the three women of different ages; sitting on the sofa. He smiled at his nonblood daughter when he saw the smile on her face. Mary looked over at him, and smiled wider. She got up, and walked over toward him. Klink smiled, and looked down at the young woman that was looking up at him.

"Are you alright?" He asked her. Mary smiled, and nodded her head; then raised a brow.

"I am Vater, but how did you know that I was over here?" She asked him. Klink told the young woman with a loving smile.

"Peter came over to my office, and told me.. He told me what was going on, and that you had came to your… Mutter for some help." He smiled when he called Hilda Mary's mother. Mary sighed; then asked.

"Why did Peter tell you about this?" Klink raised a brow at the question.

"Well he told me because.. he wanted me as well as Robert to know; that if we walked into the house, and saw you upset. Then we would know why… and to also be there for you." Mary smiled at her Vater's words.

"Well I am glad that Peter is always looking out for me, and I will always do the same for him." She told him with a loving smile. Klink nodded his head; then said.

"How about we go back over to the house, and you can lay down for awhile. And you don't have to worry about dinner; Peter, or I will cook something for all of us." He said with a fatherly smile. Mary nodded her head, but turned toward Hilda and Regina.

"Danke for helping me… both of you." She told them with a loving smile. Hilda got up from the sofa, and walked over toward the young woman.

"You are welcome sweetheart." Hilda leaned forward, and kissed Mary on the forehead. Hilda leaned back, and smiled at the younger woman. Mary smiled; then turned toward her Vater. Klink placed his arm around Mary as they started to walk toward the door. As the two walked toward the house; Mary smiled at the POWs, and the Guards as she walked past them. She looked ahead as she spoke.

"I think that they are planning something for my birthday." She said with a giggle. Klink smiled as they walked closer to the house.

"I think that they may be doing that." He said with a smile. As they walked up the steps to the house; Mary asked the older Colonel who she saw as a father.

"Has Papa gotten back from his mission yet?" Klink stopped, and looked at her. Mary narrowed her brows; as worry started to fill her eyes.

"No he hasn't yet, but he and Hochstetter are finishing the mission now though. I say that your father will be back late tonight… I told Schultz to tell the other guards; that your father was not feeling well, and that he was in bed for the rest of the night. So they will not miss him at roll call." Mary looked to the side with the worry still in her eyes. Klink saw this, and stepped closer toward her. As he hugged the young woman; he spoke.

"Don't worry little Snow. Your father and uncle will be alright." He told her. Mary smiled in the hug; when he added. "They will watch each other's backs, and make sure that each other is safe."

"You are right Vater. They will be alright, but when father gets home… I will have a talk with him about staying out too late." Klink's eyes widen when he heard his little girl say this.

"I was going to talk to him, but if you want to yell at him… be my guest." Klink said with a laugh; as he leaned back in the hug. Mary leaned back in the hug as well, and smiled.

"Awe Danke Vater." She said as she now moved out of his arms, and walked to the door. The older man stood out on the porch, and watched the young woman walk into the house.

"Dear god Robert; I think you are going to get an earful." He chuckled lightly, and walked into the house. Klink spotted Carter just finishing mopping the floors. He raised a brow at the younger man; then told him to make a bomb for the train. Carter nodded his head, and went down into the tunnels. Mary walked into the kitchen to find her love, and her two brothers in the kitchen. She smiled wide at the sight of the tall cabinet; that was now in the kitchen, and to the side. Kinch smiled at her as she walked over toward him.

"Oh James, thank you so much. It's beautiful." She told him as she looked at the cabinet. The cabinet was made out of a dark wood, but was plain.

"Your welcome, and thank you sis. But it's just a plain cabinet though." He told her with a smile.

"I know, but you did a beautiful job on it." She said with a hint of tiredness in her voice. Newkirk raised a brow; then asked.

"How are you feeling?" Mary looked over toward her love who was looking at her with a loving, but worried look. Mary smiled at him; then said.

"I am feeling alright, but my head is hurting some." She told him the truth. Newkirk walked over, and leaned down to give her a kiss on the lips.

"Why don't you go and lay down for a bit, and I will cook supper." He told her with a loving smile. Mary was about to tell him no, but stopped herself; when she heard what her Vater had told her the other day. 'Peter will want to cook for you..' Mary smiled at the thought; then nodded her head.

"Alright, but please wake me up to eat whatever you cook." Newkirk smiled, and nodded his head.

"I will… but what would you like though?" He asked her. Mary smiled at him.

"How about that Irish stew you made last time? I do have to admit; that it was so good." Newkirk smiled at his love.

"Alright, I will make that, and wake you up when it's done." He told her; then kissed her on the lips once again. Mary smiled a loving smile at him; then walked toward their bedroom. Newkirk watched his love walk out of the kitchen; then looked over when he heard his small friend speak.

"You are going to cook?... I'm going to die." Newkirk rolled his eyes at the smallest man in the room; as Kinch chuckled to himself.

"Well we got here an hour before the train; just like Will said we would." Said Hogan as he looked out of the window of the car that he, and the Major were in. Hochstetter looked at his watch, and smiled wide.

"Actually we are an hour and a half early." Hogan looked over toward the slightly older man with a raised brow.

"I say that we are here early; we didn't stop at any of the check points." The young Colonel stated; remembering the Major had drove threw all the check points; that were peppered on the road that they had taken. At the time Hogan had raised a brow when they had drove threw all of them, and was not stopped once. Hochstetter laughed lightly; then told the slightly younger man something that he didn't know.

"Hogan we are in a Gestapo car; no one is going to stop us. They see the flags, and know not to stop whomever is driving." Hogan raised a brow at this; then looked out of the front window.

"Son of a bitch… we could have blown up a lot more things if I would have known that." The younger man looked over when he heard the Major chuckle. Hogan smiled to himself; then asked a question that caught the Major off guard.

"So how did you get the money to buy Mary's gifts, and all of the jewelry before?" Hochstetter looked over with a raised brow.

"What?" He asked.

"Well, we are going to be here for awhile, and you know pretty much everything about me… so I just thought that it would be fair to know things about you.. Like why does your family not want anything to do with you?" Hogan asked again. Hochstetter sighed; then spoke.

"Your right; it's only fair for me to tell you about myself, and to answer your first question; I will have to answer the last one first." The Major started to tell the younger man about his family. Hogan moved around in the car to face the Major; so that he could show the slightly older man that he was listening to what he was about to say. Hochstetter saw this, and shook his head. 'Dear god; he is like a child at times.' The Major thought to himself; then started to talk about his family.

"I am the second oldest son in my family, and second to be born. The first is my older brother Armin; he runs a factory that is in Aurich; my hometown. He is one of the better sons; as my Mutter and Vater put it. My two younger sisters; are Cora who is the oldest, and Olivia who is the youngest. My Mutter and Vater then had my youngest brother Berthold. I really don't know what my sister Cora is doing, or where she is." Hogan raised a brow at this. The Major saw this, and explained.

"My parents had a hand in finding someone for each one to marry, and they would always choose someone with a lot of money. Armin was the first to get married; then Cora." The Major shook his head; then went on.

"Cora married the man; then three months after the wedding.. He died in the war… Well that's what she said.. I really don't know. She had gotten a lot of money from his death, and shared it with my family. Soon the money ran out, and they tried to marry Olivia to a man that they thought had money…" Hochstetter started to chuckle lightly; which made Hogan narrow one brow, and raise the other.

"What?" He asked the Major. Hochstetter looked over, and replied.

"The man that Olivia married.. didn't have the money like my parents thought he had. When they found out that he didn't have hardly any; they tried to get Olivia to leave him, but she told them that she wasn't… she was happy in her marriage. My sister loves her husband a great deal. Well, as you can imagine; that didn't set well with our parents, and they cut her out of the family. Then they turned their eyes on myself, and set a marriage up for me; to a beautiful woman by the name of Thea. Her father was a very rich man, and yes.. that was the only reason why my parents wanted me to marry her. Thea and I did get along with each other, but she was just not ready to get married at the time, and neither was I. I was only twenty-five at the time, and was just starting out in the Gestapo. She and I was still going to go threw with the marriage for our families, but neither one of us wanted too though. Her father did actually like me… Then a week before the wedding came and…" Hogan noticed the slightly older man frown.

"What happened?" He asked wanting to know. Hochstetter sighed; then told the younger man what happened.

"My parents told me once I married Thea; that I was to kill her father, but after I was sure that she would get his money. I was in the Gestapo now, and could have killed him; then once all of the money had went to Thea… then I would have to kill her, and give the money to them. I told them that I would do it; just to get them off my back for awhile. But I was never going to do it.. I went to Thea and her father, and told them what my family had wanted me to do. Both of them were shocked, and couldn't believe that my parents had told me that. I told Thea that I would never do anything like that, and that it was a good idea for her and I not to marry. Which she was happy about it. Her father told me; that I was brave for coming to them, and telling him this. That he would call the wedding off; both Thea and I were so happy. I went home, and told my parents that the wedding was off, and that I had told Thea and her father about what they had wanted me to do… And they got angry at me, and cut me out of the family; which I didn't care really. I couldn't be in a family that just wanted money, and not cared about who they married; as long as the money was in the bank, and it went to them… Then a few years later Thea's father passed away, and he left nearly all of his money to me. Thea had told me; that he was proud of me for standing up to my family, and he had heard; that I was having a hard time with money, and other thing's. She told me that he had left nearly all of it to me, and that she had married a man that she loved, and they were living a great life. That her father said on his deathbed; that he wanted me to have it; so that I could live a good life as well. When my family heard about me getting that much money from him; they tried to get me to give it to them; by telling me that they loved me, and wanted me back in the family… I told them no, and they cut me off again. Then they would use my job, and name to get them whatever they wanted." The Major chuckled lightly at a thought that came to his mind.

"What is it?" Hogan asked.

"It's funny how they used to tell me; that I was not successful because I was not married, nor had any children; which I know that they would have married my children off sooner or later. They would tell me that I was a fool to be in the Gestapo; that it was a pointless job. Then they would ask me; why I was still a Major after so long… I needed to marry who they wanted me to, and do what they wanted me to… I needed to be more like my brothers, and listen to them. All they wanted was to control me.. like a puppet on strings. It's funny that; not only the world, but how people crave money, and power. They will do anything to get it… even hurt, or kill their own blood to get it." Hogan frowned, and looked down at his hands; while his new friend spoke about how his parents used to speak to him. When Hochstetter said the last part; is when Hogan spoke without knowing it.

"They are just like Lizzie… She only cared about how much I made, and she never loved me at all… I gave that woman my heart, and she broke it. She used things against me; like the little things that made me feel like I was worthless… Then she used my little girl for her own fun… Mary went threw hell, and I know that Lizzie loved seeing it. I say that she would smile like the devil; when George was doing those things to Mary… Then telling her that she was miscarrying a baby every month, and the pain that Mary felt every time she would see the blood… I know that pain of being told that you are nothing, and that you are better off dead… My father said that a lot to me… and there was so so many times that I believed him… But Marie… the woman who took me in.. she would tell me differently. She would tell me; that I was born for a reason, and that I was loved." Hochstetter looked over toward Hogan as he spoke. Hochstetter looked away; then snapped his head back when he heard the younger man say.

"You are not worthless Wolfgang.. and they are wrong. You are great at your job, and you will find someone to marry one day… You will have children, and you will be a damn good father too… You kinda are with Mary. She looks up to you, and always lights up when she sees you…" Hochstetter smiled at the words that the younger man was speaking. He had never thought; that the man that he once hated more than anything; would be telling him these things. Then when Hogan said Mary's name; Hochstetter listened even more.

"Hogan, Mary lights up when she sees you too. She has waited for so long to be by your side. Your little girl loves you, and I know that she cares for me.. And I am happy for that… As well as I am happy to be able to call you friend now, and not a man that I used to hate to see." Hogan looked up and smiled; then asked.

"What about your younger brother? Did he get married too, or no?" Hogan finally asked; making the slightly older man look back over toward him.

"Yes he is, and Olivia actually sent me a letter not too long ago; saying that she was now in Caspe.. A town in the Aragon region in Spain. She wrote to tell me that she was told to come back home in a few days for a family party, and that she was told to tell me about it, and I have to go…"

"Are you going?" Hochstetter looked over toward the younger man; when he asked the question.

"I don't know if I will or not. I really don't want to go threw that hell again." He said with a sigh. Hogan smiled wide at a thought that came to his mind; which caught the eye of the slightly older man. Hochstetter raised a brow at the smile on the man's face.

"You could take Mary with you.. I know that she would love to put them in their places, and stand up for you… And plus you can show her off; saying 'this is my new goddaughter.' So fuck you." Hochstetter smiled wide, and laughed at the younger man when he had held up his hands to the side of him. Hochstetter shook his head, but glanced back over when Hogan added.

"If you want to be her godfather that is.. That is up to you." The Major nodded his head; then told the young Colonel what he had to know.

"Why would you want me to be Mary's godfather? I am honored; don't get me wrong, but why?" Hogan smiled at the Major's question.

"You can protect her, and keep her safe. She loves spending time with you. I knew that you would be the right choice; when you told me that you wanted to help her claim her inheritance…" Hogan watched the Major's eyes widen.

"Wait.. That was before I had told you that I was changing sides." Stated Hochstetter. Hogan nodded his head.

"True, but I knew that you were the right one to protect her and Newkirk… Wolfgang.. I could have asked Burkhalter to be her godfather, but I want you to be. I trust you with my little girl's life; as well as Newkirk's… and when they have kids… I know that you will protect them too." The Major looked out of the window that was behind his new friend; then glanced back over toward the younger man.

"Robert… I would be honored to be her Godfather, and I will keep her as well as Newkirk safe." Hogan smiled at his new friend.

"Well now that that's out of the way.. lets go and blow up a train." He said, and got out of the car with the bag that had the bomb within it on his side. Hochstetter watched the younger man get out of the car with a raised brow; then shook his head, and got out of the car as well. Hogan waited for Hochstetter to catch up with him. When the Major was now sanding beside the younger man; both walked toward the station as the train pulled in. Hogan fell behind the Major; to show that Hochstetter was in charge. He watched the slightly older man walk up to the men that were getting off the train. Hogan stood behind Hochstetter as the men stood in front of them. The younger Colonel looked over to his right, and saw an older man that looked to be about his loves age; sitting in a chair inside of the station. The older man looked over toward Hogan, and nodded his head; then looked back down at his book. Hogan looked back over when one of the men spoke to the Major.

"Herr Major?" One of the men looked behind Hochstetter toward Hogan. Hogan nodded his head at the man; then looked over toward the slightly older man.

"Which one of you is in charge of this train getting to Hamelburg?" Hochstetter asked. The man that had spoken first; step forward.

"I am Herr Major. I am First Lieutenant Switzer.. What is the matter Herr Major?" Asked the Lieutenant.

"I have reasons to believe that an underground agent is on this train, and is planning on blowing it up. My young friend Captain Kaiser and I will have a look around; as well as I will ask your men questions… As well as yourself." Hochstetter said in a voice that he would use to scare others. The Lieutenant looked at his men; then back at the Major with widen eyes.

"Ja Herr Major; you and the Captain take a look around." He told the men before him. Hogan noticed that the Lieutenant looked down at the bag on his side. Hochstetter noticed this, and told the man before him.

"Danke Lieutenant. Now Captain Kaiser; follow me, and we will try to use the new tools that Berlin had given us. " Said Hochstetter as he walked toward the train. Hogan walked behind him with the bag to his side. When Hogan knew that no one could hear them; he asked.

"How do you want to do this?" The Major replied in a low voice.

"I will walk you to the train; then tell the men to line up against the wall of the station. I will question all of them; while you are placing your gift on one of the train cars. Afterwards; go to the other side of the train, and fire a few shots.. with the gun I know you have. Then yell for me, and say that you saw a man walking toward the train, and that he took off into the woods. I will join you; after I tell them to pull the train out. Then you and I will go into the woods for a whatever time you set on the timer on the bomb; then we come out of the woods, and I will say that we will go to the other side of the woods to get the man." Hogan nodded his head as he stopped at the steps of the train. Hochstetter then nodded his head; then yelled out.

"EVERYONE TO THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING!" When the Major had yelled out; it took Hogan back to times before they were friends.

"Damn do you have to yell so loud?" He asked as he placed his hand up to his ear. The Major smiled at him; then turned toward the men that were lining up against the wall of the station.

As Hochstetter questioned the men; Hogan walked threw the train. He came to the train car; that had the plane parts within it. He smiled to himself, and took out the bomb that Carter had made; out of the bag. He sat the bomb on the floor of the car, and tried to set the timer, but the bag was in his way. With a groan; Hogan took off the bag and laid it on the floor. After the timer was set for twenty minutes; Hogan smiled to himself, and stood up. Reaching into his pocket; the young American Colonel pulled out his gun; that he did indeed have with him. He ran over to the doorway that was on the other side of the train, and looked around. Hogan jumped out, and jogged a good bit away from the train to where he was just near the woods. Pointing the gun to the ground; Hogan fired three shots to the ground; then ran back to the train.

"WHAT ARE YOU SHOOTING AT?" Yelled the Major. Hogan ran up to the train, and looked in-between the cars.

"HERR MAJOR; A MAN WAS WALKING TOWARD THE TRAIN! HE SAW ME AND TOOK OFF TOWARD THE WOODS!" He yelled out. Hochstetter's eyes widen. He turned toward the Lieutenant and yelled at him.

"GET THIS TRAIN OUT OF HERE!" The men stood there, and looked at him with widen eyes; then looked at Hogan. One of the men noticed that there was something off with this so called Captain. 'Where is the bag?' The Lieutenant asked himself. Hochstetter narrowed his brows in anger, and yelled out once again.

"GET THIS TRAIN OUT OF HERE! THE UNDERGROUND IS GOING TO BLOW IT TO THE SKY!" All the men quickly moved toward the train; when the Gestapo Major yelled at them again. Hochstetter yelled out again as he ran over toward Hogan.

"COME WITH ME; WE WILL SEARCH THE WOODS!" Both he and the younger man ran into the woods. They ran for a good bit to where they were out of sight. They soon stopped running; once they were deep in the woods. Hogan looked over toward the slightly older man; as both caught their breath.

"I set the timer for twenty minutes." Hogan panted out as he placed his hands on his knees.

"Alright… we will stay in here until the train has cleared the station; then we will go back to the car, and pull the rest of the plan off… I have to admit; Hogan…" Hochstetter breathed out as he laid against a tree.

"What?" Hogan asked as he tilted his head upwards.

"I now know why you do this… this is actually kinda of fun." Hogan smiled wide at the Major's words.

"It is fun, but…. You changed my last name… Why?" Hogan breathed out; as Hochstetter chuckled lightly.

"Because the one… you came up with… was stupid." Hogan pouted when the Major said this; then listened for the train.

"I think the train has pulled out." Hochstetter nodded his head, and moved away from the tree. Both men walked back toward the station. As Hogan walked out of the woods; he looked behind him. Hochstetter was a few steps behind the younger man. Hogan turned his head to face the station, but found a gun in his face. Hochstetter walked out of the woods, and saw the Lieutenant pointing a gun at the younger man.

"Herr Major; I think your friend is the underground agent. The bag that he had on when he got on the train is no longer on his side." Hogan's eyes widen at what the man had said. He felt his side, and felt no bag; then remembered taking the bag off. With fear racing threw him; Hogan looked into the man's light colored eyes.

"I think you are right Lieutenant…" Hogan turned his head slowly toward the Major; who was smiling an evil smile at him. Hogan's eyes widen even more; when he heard the man that he had thought was his friend say.

"I will kill him… not you." Hochstetter held up his gun, and pointed it at Hogan. Hogan's heart raced as he saw the gun being pointed at him. He closed his eyes as a tear fell onto his cheek. The thought of his little girl, and love; who were waiting for him back at their little family home, and him never being able to see them again; broke his heart.

Klink looked in on his sleeping nonblood daughter, and smiled. As he closed the door; he thought to himself with a frown. 'Robert, where the hell are you?' The older Colonel asked himself; as he closed his eyes. A pain went threw his chest; as a feeling of loss overwhelmed him. Klink snapped his eyes opened, and felt tears come to his eyes. 'Maybe Hochstetter didn't change, and he took Robert off to kill him. He could easily kill him, and say that someone else did.' As the older man walked into the living room; he sat down on the sofa that was near him. 'I can't lose him… … I lost Everett, and that nearly broke me… losing Robert… … will kill me…' Closing his eyes again; Klink spoke out loud.

"Please god let Robert come home to me… To me, Mary, and our son."

"Tad?" Klink opened his eyes to see Newkirk kneeling in front of him.

"What is it?" Asked the young man that he saw as a son.

"I just got a horrible feeling that Robert.. isn't coming back." Newkirk's eyes widen as he saw a tear fall from the older man's eye.

"He will be back…. Don't worry; he will.." Said Newkirk; trying to comfort the older man.

"What if Hochstetter has been playing us this whole time? And he just wanted to get Robert alone, to kill him. He could easily say that Robert was shot by someone else." As the older man spoke; Newkirk moved closer to him, and placed his hands on the man's upper arms.

"Papa is alive…" Both men looked over toward Mary who was smiling at them. She frowned a sadden frown as she saw the tears running down her Vater's cheeks. Mary walked over toward him, and sat down beside the older man. While taking his hand into hers; she spoke to him.

"Vater, Papa is alright. He is alive and well…"

"How do you know?" He asked her.

"Because I can feel it in my heart. Papa will be home soon, and uncle will be with him maybe; I don't know.. But Papa is alive. You are letting your worry get the best of you.. Papa is a quick thinker, and will think of something if something did come up. And besides; if uncle wanted to kill him; then he would have done it when they left the camp that night to do… whatever they did.. Papa will be home soon, and you can yell at him again, and love him, and maybe give him a good smack on the back of the head… or ass." Mary giggled at the last part. Klink smiled as his nonblood daughter spoke to him. He looked over toward his nonblood son; when he spoke next.

"Robert is alright." He said with a smile. Klink shook his head; then wiped his tears away.

"You know that you two will be damn good parents one day." He told them. Both Mary and Newkirk smiled at their nonblood father.

BANG! BANG!

Hogan jumped when he heard the shots ring out. His body started to shake; as he stood there trying to feel any sign of pain; of where he had been shot at. He could hear himself groaning in pain, but he didn't feel any. Hogan opened his eyes to see the Gestapo Major still standing in front of him, and still pointing the gun at him. When he heard the groan of pain again; the younger man turned slowly to see the Lieutenant on his knees. His eyes traveled down from the shocked eyes to the man's mid stomach. Hearing footsteps beside him; Hogan moved his head slightly to the side to see the Major standing beside him. The younger Colonel looked back over slowly when he heard the dying man speak.

"Why did you shoot me?" He asked the Major. Hochstetter smiled, and told the dying man the truth.

"Because you were right about my friend being part of the underground… but so am I." Neither standing men jumped; when the ground shook under their feet. In the far distance; the night sky lit up from the train being blown up. The Lieutenant fell back onto his heels, and looked at the Major with narrowed brows.

"You are part of the…" He didn't get to finish what he was saying when he coughed, and blood began to pour from his mouth.

"Yes I am.. and I will not let you, nor anyone point a gun at my friend! Nor at the father of my goddaughter." Hochstetter squeezed the trigger of the gun again. The Lieutenant fell back onto the ground with a new bullet wound in his forehead. As Hochstetter lowered the gun; he glanced over toward the younger that was beside him. The Major saw the young Colonel's body shaking, and the look of shock on his face. While stepping toward the slightly younger man; Hochstetter asked.

"Hogan?.. Robert, you alright?" He asked him. Hogan's head slowly jerked over to look at him. The Major's eyes widen when he saw his new friends eyes widen, and tears fall from them. Dropping the gun to the ground; Hochstetter caught the younger man before he could fall to the ground.

"Robert… Robert, I was never going to shoot you. I was pointing the gun at him; not you." He told the man in his arms. The slightly older man moved his hand to the side of the younger man. His eyes widen as he felt the Gestapo coat; that the younger man was wearing was wet. Moving his hand out; Hochstetter saw the blood on his hand.

"Robert!" The Major spoke in a harsh voice.

"How did you get.."

"I think… he shot me… when you… shot him." As he spoke; Hogan's voice gave away the amount of shock his body was in. Hochstetter moved quickly, and placed the younger man's arm around his neck. He got him to his feet, but the younger man fell to the ground again.

"Robert, you have to get up.. I can't carry you… You have to help me; so that I can help you." He told the younger man.

"It's no point… Wolfgang… you have to leave me here." He told him while looking down at the ground. The slightly older man went to speak, but stopped when Hogan spoke again.

"Take care of Mary for me, and… Will… don't let nothing happen to them." As Hogan spoke; tears fell from his eyes. Hochstetter closed his eyes, and a tear fell from his own eye.

"No… I will not leave you here alone." Was all Hochstetter told the younger Colonel.

It was now 23:00 hours, and his love was not back yet. Klink was in his bedroom; pacing back and forth. It had been hours since he had last talk to the younger Colonel. Not being able to take it anymore; he walked out of his room, and into the living room. There he spotted his daughter, and son on the sofa. Mary was sitting beside her love, and had her head on his shoulder. Klink watched as a tear fell from her eye. His eyes glanced over toward his son, and saw the worry on his face. The older man walked toward the door; to tell Schultz to get his car. He had to go and look for his love, and kill the Major. When he had reached for the door; the stove moved out of the way. All three looked over to see Carter pop his head out.

"What is it Carter!" The older man snapped at him. Carter's eyes widen at the tone of voice the older man had used.

"Major Hochstetter just came down into the tunnel, and told us to tell you to have the guards opened the gates, but for them not to look at who was going to be brought into the house." Klink raised a brow at this.

"What?" He asked.

"That's what he told us to tell you." Said Carter; as he went back into the tunnel, and moved the stove back. Klink moved quickly, and went out the door. He quickly walked over to the Guards, and told them in a strong voice; what he was told to tell them. The Guards did as told; so not to anger the Kommandant of the camp. As Klink quickly walked back to the porch; Hochstetter drove the car threw the open gates, and parked the car very close to the house. He got out, and walked over toward Klink.

"You need to help me get Hogan out of the car; I'll tell you more when he is inside, and laying down." Klink's eyes widen at what the Major had just told him. The older man moved quickly to the back of the car, and opened the door. He narrowed his brows in worry; when he saw his love laying in the back seat.

"Robert?…" He called his loves name softly. The fear shined on his face to which the Major could clearly see.

"He's alright Wilhelm, but we need to get him inside, and to bed." Klink looked over when the Major had used his given name. Both men moved quickly, and helped the younger man inside. Once inside; they took Hogan to his and Klink's bedroom. Both Mary and Newkirk stood quickly, and made their way over to the bedroom doorway.

"What happened?" Asked Mary; as the tears flowed more heavily now. As the two German men laid the young American on the bed; Mary walked over to her father.

"Papa." She said his name; as she took his hand. Newkirk walked farther into the room, and looked at the Major; with rage in his eyes. All looked at him when he spoke in a voice; that sent fear threw only two in the room.

"What happened Hochstetter?" The Major's eyes widen even more; when he saw the homicidal look within the younger man's blazing blue eyes. With a gulp; Hochstetter told the young archer what had happened.

"We got to the train station an hour and a half before hand. We did talk about somethings; then when the train pulled in; I told Hogan my plan. I was to pull all of the men away from the train; while he looked for the underground agent that was on the train. Hogan got on the train, and placed the bomb that Sergeant Carter had made. I told him to get off of the train from the other side, and say that he saw someone running away. I told him to shoot his gun a few times; then to call me over. I told the Lieutenant to pull the train out of the station. The train pulled away with the bomb in place; while Hogan and I were in the woods. We ran a good bit to make it look like we were chasing someone. When we walked out; the Lieutenant figured out that Hogan was the underground agent. He held a gun to him, but I told the Lieutenant that I would kill him, and I shot the Lieutenant in the stomach.. When I had shot the Lieutenant; he shot Hogan in the side… Hogan wanted me to leave him there, but I was able to get him to the car, and find a doctor in town. He was able to help Hogan. The doctor told me to take him home, and I brought him back here." As Hochstetter quickly explain what had happened; Newkirk narrowed his eyes at him. While the Major spoke; Klink looked at his love who was pale. He looked back over, and asked Hochstetter.

"How bad is his wound?" The Major didn't look away from the blazing blue eyes that were burning a whole into his soul.

"The wound isn't bad. The bullet had entered his side, but it didn't go in too far. The only thing was that he had lost a good amount of blood. The doctor said that he can move around, but he can't over do it, nor lift anything." The Major looked over toward the young woman when she spoke up now.

"Is the Lieutenant dead?" She asked him. Newkirk glanced over toward his love when she had spoke. Klink looked over toward her as well.

"Yes, he's dead." Answered the Major. Mary spoke again without looking away from her father's pale face.

"Good, because if not; I was going to hunt him down and kill him myself." Both German men's eyes widen at what the young woman had said. Newkirk had smiled at his love, and knew that she would find this Lieutenant, and she would indeed kill him herself. None of the men expected for Mary to speak again.

"Well at least you were there for Papa." Mary looked over toward the Major with a loving smile.

"He was there for me in more ways than one." They all looked over toward Hogan when they heard his voice.

"Papa?"

"Hogan you need to rest." Said Hochstetter.

"Yes Robert, you need to rest." Said his love. Hogan opened his eyes to see his little girl smiling at him. His eyes scanned the room, and saw Newkirk standing behind his daughter. He looked over, and saw his love slowly sit on the side of the bed; while the Major moved closer to the bed. Hogan smiled at the Major, and said.

"Thank you for saving me tonight; in more ways than one." Hochstetter smiled and nodded his head. Hogan glanced over toward his love when he spoke.

"Saving you more than one way?" He asked. Hogan slowly nodded his head.

"Yeah, I had told Wolfgang to leave me there; that I was dying… I had lost so much blood in a short amount of time; that I didn't think I was going to make it… He told me that I had to make it for… my little girl, my love, and for my son." Newkirk smiled at this point.

"That I would see my grandchildren be born, and grow up… You saved me from giving up." As Hogan talked; tears came to his eyes. "So thank you Wolfgang.. Thank you." Mary smiled at her fathers words; as did Klink, and Newkirk. Hochstetter moved, and sat down on the far end of the bedside.

"Your welcome, and I meant what I said. I will not let someone try to kill a good friend of mine… But…"

"But what?" Hogan asked as a hot tear fell onto his cheek.

"But I think you need to tell Mary; what you had asked of me." He stated. Mary looked over toward the man that she called uncle with raised brows.

"What did you ask uncle to do?" She asked her father; as she looked over toward him once again. Hogan smiled as more tears fell from his eyes.

"I asked Hochstetter to be your godfather… And he said yes; that he would." Mary's eyes widen as new tears formed. She looked over toward the Major, and smiled.

"Papa asked you to be my godfather? And you said yes." She asked and stated while smiling wide. Hochstetter nodded his head.

"Ja, das habe ich, meine Porzellanperle." Mary smiled wider; as the Major spoke.

"Well I guess that I can start calling you Pate than?" She asked; as she wiped her tears away. Hochstetter nodded his head.

"Ja, du kannst." He said with a smile. Newkirk and Klink smiled at this news; then all looked over toward Hogan when he spoke again.

"Next Sunday, when we go out on your birthday; we can go to the church, and do it right. Then when we get back to the camp; I will radio London, or Will can bring up a paper saying; that if anything is to happened to myself, or Will; that Hochstetter will be your guardian." Mary smiled wide at her father's words.

"Oh Papa, I would love that… How about you… Pate?" Mary looked over toward Hochstetter who was smiling wide.

"I would love that too." He said with a smile.

In a unknown location; the two women sat handcuffed to a railing that was in a small underground room. The youngest woman looked over to the other side of the room, and saw the thirteen year old boy; that the RAF man had brought in; only a few hours ago. The door opened, and all looked at the door, and the steps that led down into the room. The RAF man walked down the stairs, and into the room. He smiled at the women and the teenager; then wished them good day. Both women as well as the teenager raised a brow at the man's actions. The younger woman looked behind the RAF man, and saw a small boy that looked to be no more than four years old. The Man looked behind him, and pulled the boy forward. He smiled down at the boy with a smile that sent chills down the boy's spine. The RAF man pulled the young boy forward again; while the youngest woman asked.

"What are you doing? What are you planning?" The man looked over toward her and smiled.

"I am going to be the King of England after I end the war, and I will mention all of you in my King's speech." He said in an arrogant voice. The women raised a brow at the man; while the teenage boy spoke up.

"Your bloody crazy, no one is going to make you King; lock you up maybe, but not make you a King." The Man looked over toward the oldest boy, and narrowed his eyes at him.

"Keep it up boy, and I will kill your brother when I see him." This made the teenager shut his mouth quickly. The man looked back over toward the women, and spoke again.

"It's time for all of us to go to Germany." He told them, and turned to walk out of the room, but stopped to look at them.

"I will go and get the car; watched this little sweetie." He told them as he left the little boy in the middle of the room. When he walked threw the doorway, and shut the door; the youngest woman looked at her mother; then at the teenager.

"Alright, he will take all of us out at once, and when he does; I will jump him, and you two get the kid and run…" The young woman looked over toward the teenage boy when he spoke.

"What about you? He'll kill you." He asked and stated. The woman smiled at the boy; then replied.

"I know, but hey I've had a good run.."

"Leanne." The woman looked over toward her mother, and smiled.

"Come on mom, I am willing to die; to make sure that you, and them get away." Her mother nodded her head, but had tears in her eyes.

"Alright, but what if only one of us gets away?" She asked her daughter.

"If only one gets away; then go to the air base in London, and ask for General Butler. He will know what to do." As she spoke; Leanne looked over toward the teenage boy. The boy nodded his head at the older woman's words.

The door opened again, and the man walked down the stairs. He smiled at all of them, and threw the key to the oldest woman. He told her to uncuff all of them; while he held a gun on them. While the oldest woman was undoing her cuffs; he told them that afterward; to line up against the wall. The older woman did as told, and soon all of them were standing near the wall. He moved around them, and pointed the gun at them. He told them to walk up the stairs, and threw the door. As they all walked up the stairs; the teenage boy picked up the four year old child. He glanced over toward the woman named Leanne. She smiled, and winked at him; once they were outside. With a nod of her head; she turned, and did a side kick; kicking the gun out of the man's hand. Leanne jumped the man, and took him to the ground. As the two fought; the older woman, and the two boys made a run for it.

"You will pay for this!" The teenager heard as he ran; then stopped. The oldest woman stopped, and looked back at him.

"What are you doing?" She asked him.

"I can't leave her. She will need help with him..." He told her. The oldest woman narrowed her brows; then quickly replied.

"Alright, but give me the boy." She said and moved to take the child out of the teenagers arms.

"No, he might be more sane with the kid there. I will look after him; you go and tell this Butler what is going on." He told her. The oldest woman didn't move at first.

"Go!" Yelled the teenager.

"Alright, please be careful and also look after my daughter." The teen nodded his head, and ran back to the two fighting. As he got closer; he could see the man was choking Leanne. Setting the little boy down near the car; the oldest boy quickly told the youngest to stay where he was. The teenager ran over, and got the man off of his new friend.

"Enough! We are still here; we only did that because she was older than us, and was sick!" He lied to the man. The man looked up at the boy with evil eyes. He looked over toward the youngest woman; who was coughing.

"Alright! Don't none of you do that again, or I will kill the littlest one first." He told them; then stood up. The teenager walked over, and help Leanne up to her feet. She looked at him with narrowed eyes and brows. He smiled at her; then said.

"I couldn't leave you. My older brother told me many times; that courage is doing something that you are scared to death to do." Leanne smiled at the young man.

"Well than your brother is a smart man." She told him.

"GET OVER HERE!" The man yelled at them. Both looked over at him, and saw that the angry RAF man had the gun pointed at the little boy's head. The teenager grew scared for the little boy, but looked at Leanne when she yelled out.

"Alright, don't get your pantyhose's in a bunch; we're coming!" The teenage boy's eyes widen; as he looked to the side. He looked up at the older woman when she spoke to him.

"Come on, or the mix bag of nuts will get pissed off." Once again the teenager's eyes widen, but followed the older woman to the car.
