BJ and Hawkeye are back! :)

BJ and Hawkeye arrived back at camp in the early afternoon. There were a few hours late, but at least they returned on the correct day. Last time they were a couple days late choosing to spend more of their time in Seoul rather than return.

When they arrived Klinger wasted no time bringing the two of them into Potter's office. Potter wanted to quickly brief them on the situation before they met her.

"Are you sure what she's saying is the truth Colonel?"

"I know it sounds crazy, but the girl has proof. She has a history book with a photo of me at the 8063rd. I've never been to the 8063rd but there it was clear as day."

He walked around his desk and looked at both men with a serious look on his face. "Now, that being said, I want to say something very firmly about this girl. She is staying in your tent with you two and Winchester. So far there have been no incidents. In fact, it's been downright pleasant. Let's keep it that way shall we."

It was obvious what the Colonel was getting at. He didn't want any issues with a woman in the tent with them. Of course, that just made both BJ and Hawkeye more interested in meeting the girl.

After being dismissed from Potter's office both men rushed back to their tent only to find it empty, but it was clear that Charles hadn't been staying there alone.

There was a clear line down the center of the tent. Their side was covered in dirt and grime, just as they had left it. The other side was clean and showed evidence of two people living there. In fact, Charles' side of the room almost looked like the continuation of the same person.

"Wonder where the two of them have gone off too."

"Charles is probably in Post-OP since I heard some casualties had come in not too long after we took off. The girl, I think her name was Becca, who knows where she could be."

Hawkeye rolled his eyes at the mention of Charles. Although he had great respect for the man as a fellow surgeon, Hawkeye made it clear that he was not a fan of Charles, and Charles wasn't one of Hawkeye either.

"Well, I'm off," BJ said after tossing his bag on his side of the room. "Potter assigned me Post-OP duty to relieve Charles. If you see her, let me know. I'm curious who this future woman is too."

Hawkeye raised a hand in return as he went back to sorting through his bag for the treasures he got in Seoul.

BJ wasted no time heading to Post-OP to relieve Charles. He was sure that the man was furious with them for returning so late when they were supposed to be back early that morning. Who could blame them? It was terrible here.

BJ walked into Post-OP and froze at the sight before him.

Charles was checking a patient, but was also talking to a young woman sitting next to him. She wasn't a nurse and she wasn't dressed in army green either. Instantly BJ knew that this was Becca, the same young woman Potter had warned them about. Now he understood why he had made a point of it.

Hawkeye would go nuts over this girl. Her blonde hair was enough to draw Hawkeye's attention and it didn't help that she was very attractive. Her smile alone was sparkling, BJ was surprised that Charles could stand the brightness of it.

He chanced a quick glance at Charles when Becca pointed and said something to him. BJ watched as a small smile graced Charles' face when he turned to her.

The whole scene was surreal. He and Hawkeye had picked the absolute worst time to be away from camp.

The glow coming off those two was almost blinding. He glanced around and found that no one else seemed to notice that those two were off in their own little world. He turned back to the couple and found that they had looked back at the patient.

It wasn't until one of the other nurses welcomed BJ back did the spell break and both Charles and Becca looked up at him.

Instantly the glow was gone from them and BJ knew that he would have to talk to Hawkeye about this.

Whether Charles and Becca knew it or not, BJ could see a strong bond between the two of them that reminded him of another strong bond.

The one BJ had with his wife, Peg.

Charles stood, helping Becca stand as well, keeping his now cold eyes on BJ. His eyes were the same as they always were that almost made BJ believe that what he had seen had been an illusion.

"About time you and Pierce returned," Charles said after approaching BJ. "My shift ended several hours ago."

BJ looked at Charles closely, even as he gave the apology he knew was necessary and well deserved. Everything seemed the same, Charles was just being himself.

Then Charles turned to Becca and BJ saw the change instantly, the warmth returning the Charles' gaze as he looked at the girl. BJ couldn't believe what he was seeing right in front of him.

"Becca Coals, please meet Captain BJ Hunnicutt."

BJ turned his attention to the woman next to Charles. Becca had turned to face him with a smile, but one BJ could tell wasn't as radiant as the one Charles had received only moments before. BJ could recognize the signs so well, but he could tell that neither of them had realized their feelings on their own, let alone the feelings of the other.

"Nice to meet you Dr. Hunnicutt," Becca said. "I've heard a lot about you and Dr. Pierce from everyone here."

BJ smiled in polite response and shook the girl's outstretched hand. "Nice to meet you as well," BJ replied, watching Charles carefully as the handshake took place. Charles wasn't upset or acting strange in any way. Perhaps it was because he knew BJ wouldn't be a threat and BJ wondered if Charles would have reacted the same way had Becca been introduced to Hawkeye.

BJ suddenly felt worried, but he kept the smile on his face as he released Becca's hand.

Charles escorted Becca out of Post-OP, on their way to the Mess Tent based on their passing conversation, and BJ quickly grabbed Klinger instructing him to bring Hawkeye straight to him.

BJ had to inform Hawkeye to stay away from Becca. Charles and Hawkeye already walked a thin line between friendship and enemy, Becca Coals could push them both over that line into all out war if this wasn't handled first.

Hawkeye arrived not too long later, looking around as if he expected the mystery woman to appear before him. BJ wasted no time grabbing Hawkeye's arm and pulling him into the examination room, away from inquiring ears.

"I thought you called me over here because this Becca was here and you wanted me to meet her?" Hawkeye said with a grin. "Don't tell me you missed me already?"

BJ shook his head, in no mood to joke at this time. Worry filled him as he feared the worse case scenario. "She was here earlier, but left with Charles when I got here."

"You should have persuaded her to stay and meet me. I'm very curious about this girl. I heard from Klinger that she's blonde and beautiful."

"She's also unofficially taken."

Hawkeye looked at BJ with a serious look on his face. "What are you talking about?"

"Charles and Becca..."

Hawkeye laughed before looking at BJ with a wide smile. "Charles? You have to be joking. She just hasn't had a chance to rub shoulders with the Pierce charm."

BJ shook his head with a serious look on his face. "You don't understand. You didn't see what I saw."

"Beej," Hawkeye said throwing his arm around BJ's shoulders. "I'm sure the heat is just getting to you. This is Charles we're talking about. Boston society Charles. No worries. Now do you know where I might find this girl? You've already met her and I want the same opportunity."

BJ knew that it was inevitable. Hawkeye would have to meet Becca at some point. He told a nurse where he was heading and that he would be back in a few minutes before he lead Hawkeye to the Mess Tent, worry bubbling up in his stomach as what might occur.
