Ben sat on Trapper's bunk for a while Soon He slept in his bed and Soon Yong slept in his arms. He was torn; he loved his son with ever fibre of his being but he had no idea how to proceed. He cared for Soon He but he couldn't call that feeling love.
After an hour, Trapper appeared with the blood test results.
"It's a match," he said as he sat down next to his friend.
"I know," he said looked down at the bundle in his arms.
"What are you going to do?" Trapper asked.
"I don't know; I'll have to talk to Henry. If she wakes up, tell her where I went," he instructed as he went to find Henry. He walked across the compound to the hospital building to his CO's office.
"Henry?" he called in a small voice.
"Come in Hawk." Sam was still in the office talking to Henry when Ben re-appeared with the bundle in his arms.
"I gather we're getting you something this Father's Day?"
"Yeah. Henry, Sam, what are my options?"
"Well," Henry started, "you can either marry her or you can assume financial responsibility for the baby," he in formed the young surgeon.
"Sam, what will her life be like if I walk away from this?" he asked with fear in his voice.
"Hawk, I'm not going to lie to you. Everyone will know she has an amerasian baby; men will know she's not a virgin. She doesn't have a family and will probably not find a husband while she has the baby. She doesn't have a means of support, no one to keep her safe, no money and no way of earning money; Hawkeye, she and the baby will probably die."
Hawkeye blanched and looked down at the baby in his arms and pulled him a bit closer to his chest.
