Two months later

The Professor was watching Ginger as she chatted with Mrs. Howell about how she was looking forward to her baby being born and tossing out names she thought were good. Mrs. Howell had chimed in with a few of her own as well that Ginger promised to take into consideration.

Although Ginger looked radiant and had a glow, the Professor was concerned. They didn't have access to a doctor on the island. He had a little training in the medical field and Mrs. Howell did have training as a nurse but still…he would feel better if there was a doctor present.

Aside from that he couldn't help but smile at his wife. The happiness seemed to radiate from her. She was truly excited about becoming a mother. He was equally as excited as his wife about their new baby coming into the world. Being a father wasn't something he had given much thought to before but with Ginger it was different. Creating a miracle with the woman he adored and loved more than he thought himself capable of was astounding.

The Professor turned his attention back to the little crib he was constructing for the baby when he heard a sound. Curious, he put his work aside and followed it out towards the beach. What he found there he couldn't believe. A helicopter! An actual helicopter!

Gilligan and The Skipper had also heard this noise as well as they both came running out.

The helicopter landed and two men jumped out. They were stunned to see there were people on the island.

"Hello!" greeted The Skipper. "Welcome!"

The one man walked over to them. "Hello." He greeted. "I'm Captain Edward Dawson. U.S. Marines.."

The Skipper's eyes went wide. "U.S. Marines!" He turned to the other men. "We are saved! We are saved!"

Gilligan couldn't believe it. "Really? You are with the Marines?"

Captain Dawson nodded. "Yes sir I am."

"Oh boy!" Gilligan said clapping his hands. "We are saved! The Marines wouldn't leave us here!"

"Leave you here?" questioned the other marine.

The Professor spoke. "We have been shipwrecked on this island for a long time." He explained. "We have chances to be rescued but they always fell through. Numerous times we have tried to hatch a plan that would get us to Hawaii but had no luck."

"I see." The Marine said. "Well safe to say, your young friend here is correct. We will make sure you are not left here. By the way I'm Corporal Scott Harveson." He said shaking the Professor's hand.

"Professor Roy Hinkley."

Mary Ann came running out and saw the two Marines there. She quickly hurried over. "Hello." She greeted.

"Hello there." Scott replied. "I take it you were shipwrecked on this island with these three men?"

"Oh yes. And another woman named Ginger and the Howells. Seven of us. Oh please…can you please bring us back home!"

Scott smiled at the young brunette. He thought she was very pretty. "Not to worry. We will need to radio back to headquarters but I don't think they will object."

Ginger strolled out of the jungle. She too noticed the Marines and went over to them. "Hello." She greeted.

"Ma'am." replied Edward.

"Who are you?" She asked of the men.

"They are Marines!" exclaimed Gilligan. "They are going to rescue us!"

Ginger smiled. "Oh how wonderful!" She said. "I can't wait to get back to Hollywood!" The movie star turned to the Professor. "Darling we can begin our new life together!" She threw her arms around him hugging him to her.

Edward's heart sank. Damn. She's already taken. Oh well. No biggie. He thought to himself.
Scott didn't seem to mind as his eyes were still on Mary Ann.

Gilligan noticed the way Scott was looking at Mary Ann and it didn't please him. In fact, he made him feel awful. Scott was certainly better looking then he was and what woman wouldn't want a brave Marine? There was no way Mary Ann could not be taken with him.

Mary Ann smiled at Scott thinking he was cute but a part of her wasn't sure she should…Her heart was with someone else. Her heart was with Gilligan.

The Howell soon joined in on the excitement declaring they were so happy and grateful that the Marines found their little island.

Apparently according to Scott and Edward, the Marines were looking for a deserted island for a training base. They had scouted a few locations and came across this one.

Edward had radioed his superiors and notified them of the situation. The rescue of the castaways was approved however there was a catch.

"I'm sorry.' said Edward. "But being that the helicopter is small, we can only take back one of you right now. Of course, we will send out a much larger helicopter but it may take a few days."

The Professor nodded. "That's fine. You can take my wife back with you."

Ginger looked at him. "What?"

"Dear you are pregnant, you need to see a doctor. Please…go back with these two gentleman."

Ginger furiously shook her head. "No. I'm not leaving."

"Ginger please…you have to." The Professor insisted. "You can see a doctor and get the proper care for our child."

The actress crossed her arms. "I said no. I'm not leaving. Not without you. I refuse to leave this island without my husband."

The Professor took her aside. "Ginger….please…think of our baby…I would feel better knowing that a doctor…"

"I'm fine. Mrs. Howell has been taking excellent care of me. I am not leaving you here."

"Dear you are not leaving me here..you are…"

"I said no." Ginger said stubbornly. "We leave this island together or no deal."

The Professor was exasperated but knew it was pointless to argue the matter further. Ginger simply was not going to leave without him. He placed a kiss on her lips. He turned to Edward. "Are you sure there isn't anyway you can take us both?"

Edward pondered the dilemma and thought of a solution. "Okay…there is a way we can take both of you but…one of us would have to stay behind. Scott…would you mind staying there until we can return with a new helicopter for everyone else?"

Scott eyed Mary Ann again and turned to Edward. "No..not a problem."

The Professor thanked the two men while Mary Ann hugged Ginger. "I'm going to miss you!"

"I'll see you soon." Ginger replied. "In a few days…you'll be back in the states."

Edward heard his radio go off and climbed back in the helicopter. A few minutes later he emerged. "I'm afraid I have some bad news. We can still take you back." He assured. "It's just right now there is a storm brewing and we need to wait a few days for it to move out of the Pacific.."

"Oh." Ginger said slightly crestfallen. "I see."

Edward spoke to the Professor. "To put your mind at ease, I do have extensive medical training so I can care for your wife in the meantime."

The Professor breathed a sigh of relief. "That would be great." said The Professor. "I appreciate that."

"Well. "said the Skipper. "Why don't we show you two gentleman back to our camp."

The all headed back and Gilligan lingered back a bit watching as Scott walked with Mary Ann asking her questions about the island and how they managed to get shipwrecked. Reluctantly, he followed everyone back and Mary Ann then announced she would cook a special dinner for everyone since they had guests. Scott offered to help her as he stated he was an excellent cook. Mary Ann accepted his help and the two headed off to gather the food.

Gilligan slunk down at the table. Mary Ann was going to be with Scott. He could feel it. She would never in a thousand years…It was hopeless. The only girl he ever loved in his life.

Professor and Ginger's hut

Edward listened carefully through his stethoscope that was placed on Ginger's stomach. Nodding, he removed it and spoke. "I definitely hear two heartbeats." He stated.

Ginger's eyes went wide. "Two?"

"Yes. Two. Mrs. Hinkley you are having twins."

Ginger turned her head to her husband and smiled. "You hear that! Twins!"

"I….I can't…Wow." The Professor said amazed. "You sure?"

"Very." Edward replied. "Two distinct heartbeats."

"I….I…Wow…Two babies!" Ginger squealed. "I'm having two babies!"

"You certainly are." smiled Edward. "Congratulations."

The Marine stood up and gathered his medical equipment leaving the two there.

Ginger looked down at her stomach. "Two little lives. I'm..I never thought…"

"I didn't…Wow….What should we name them?" asked The Professor.

"I….I don't know…I guess we should wait until we find out if they are two boys or two girls or a girl and a boy."

"I think that is wise." agreed The Professor. "We have plenty of time."

Ginger sat up a bit more on the bed looking at her husband in a new light. "You know when I took that three hour trip…I had no idea that that handsome man with the blue eyes would give me twin babies."

The Professor kissed her lips. "I had no idea that that beautiful red headed starlet with those two enchanting green eyes would be the mother of my children."

Ginger deepened the kiss and then let go. "Do you think…if we were never shipwrecked…would we have…found each other?"

The Professor took her hand and kissed it. "I honestly don't know. I don't think the odds were in our favor but….I suppose God had other plans…"

"I guess He did." Ginger smiled. "He brought me to you."

The Professor held Ginger close to him. He wasn't much of a religious man before but since Ginger was brought into his world….he questioned if maybe just maybe there was a higher power. He was now certain there was. A higher power who brought him and Ginger together. He kissed his wife again and continued to hold her.

The two heard Mary Ann calling them to dinner and they walked out of the hut. Ginger sat down at the table and the Professor sat next to her as usual. Not being able to hold it in, Ginger spoke. "We are having twins!"

Mary Ann squealed. "Twins! Oh my... Ginger that's wonderful!"

"Dear...that's simply marvelous!" exclaimed Mrs. Howell.

"Delightful!" stated Mr. Howell.

The Skipper nodded his head. "Way to go there Professor."

Ginger jokingly stuck her tongue out at the old sailor. "It was a two person operation you know." She said.

The Skipper laughed. "Way to go there too Ginger."

"Wow twins. That's great." said Gilligan. "What are you going to name them?"

"We haven't decided on that just yet Gilligan." replied the Professor.

"Jonas is a good name." said The Skipper.

Ginger laughed. "We will take it into consideration." She said with a smile.

Mary Ann looked at Ginger feeling happy for her friend. Again she felt that twinge of sadness and jealously. That she wanted that same thing. Her eyes fell on Scott who smiled at her appreciatively. She returned his smile politely and went back to her food.

Gilligan noticed this and lost his appetite. That was it. Mary Ann was smitten with the Marine.
Quietly, he stood up and left the table heading to the lagoon. The Skipper noticed and excused himself. He followed Gilligan to the lagoon and found him skimming rocks on the water.

"You okay Little Buddy?" He asked.

"Mary Ann really seems to like that Scott." He said.

"What makes you think that?"

"I saw the way she was looking at him. She likes him. Mary Ann would never like me. I couldn't compete with..."

The Skipper attempted to console him. "Now Gilligan, she just met him. How can you say she likes him? She's just being nice. That's what Mary Ann does. She is nice to everyone. Now come on...come back to the table..."

"I don't feel like it. You go. I want to be alone."

"Okay. If you say so."

Gilligan was left there with his thoughts. He wished he had the same draw to Mary Ann and as the Professor had with Ginger.

Ginger and The Professor both had something that just drew them to each other. It was like a magnet and steel.
He knew the attraction was always there. He could see it. That's why he never took her kisses seriously. Deep down, he knew it was the Professor she really wanted to kiss. The way the two looked at each other. Their arguments about little things. Each time they would argue, Gilligan expected it to end in passionate kissing. He recalled the one where Ginger thought saying a person who snored was an insult and the Professor said it wasn't. They both stormed off in a huff.
It was only the next day that they were walking together in the jungle like nothing happened. He often wondered just how they made up after having been angry with one another.

If only he could have that same type of attraction with Mary Ann. He supposed it wasn't mean to be.
Maybe when they got home he would...Oh who was he kidding. There was no other girl back home.
No one who could compare to Mary Ann.
