CH 19: Welcome Back
Candy was playing jump rope just out front of the main office where Radar could keep an eye on her.
"Hey my name is Candy I come from a Cove and my daddy is a doctor. Give me a quarter and I'll have you proctored," Candace chanted to herself as she skipped.
There was a horn honk and the sound of a jeep rolling through.
Candace looked up and screamed in excitement which had Radar and Potter run out to her just as the jeep parked in front of them.
"Ah MASH sweet MASH," Hawkeye stated as he stretched and jumped out of the jeep. He ran around to the side and swept Margaret out of the jeep and in his arms.
"Pierce put me down," Margaret chastised slapping his chest but smiled.
"Welcome back lovebirds so how was it?" BJ grinned.
"It was lovely," Margaret stated.
"It was fantastic. Absolutely phenomenal," Hawkeye stated.
"Hi mommy hi daddy," Candace smiled.
"Hi baby. We missed you," Margaret stated as Pierce set his wife down on the ground and both hugged the little 10 year old tightly.
"Did you have fun with each other?" she asked smiling innocently.
"Yes we did and we've got presents for you would you like to see them?" Margaret smiled.
"Okay," Candace grinned as she held Margaret's hand and walked with her to Margaret's tent.
When the three got to the tent they saw Margaret's signed had been replaced with a new one that read: Pierce Family Knock Before Entering!
"Uncle BJ and I did it. We thought you might like it," Candace admitted.
"I think it's cute. Now I just need to escort milady over the threshold," Hawkeye smirked as he swept Margaret back up into his arms.
"Pierce!" Margaret shrieked.
"This is my traditional duty as husband," Hawkeye stated as Candace opened the door and he entered the tent.
"I told you never eat the army turkey," Candace stated to the Colonel one of the many members of the hospital that had fallen ill.
It was Thanksgiving and pretty much everyone that had eaten the turkey felt terrible but now after two days they were on the mend thanks to the Pierce family and a few others.
"Well at least your parents listened to you," Potter sighed shutting his eyes.
Candace nodded and bounded out of the post op ward and to Potter's office where Margaret was filling out papers.
"How are the patients doctor?" Margaret smirked.
"Resting or retching major," Candace saluted, "and Daddy says that he's learned a lot being a daddy and married in the last five months."
"Oh? What's that?" Margaret asked.
"He said that you must always do what Major Baby and Minnie Major say," Candace stated.
Margaret laughed pulling the girl into her lap and kissing her head.
"Sometimes daddy is very smart," Margaret laughed.
