All's Fair In Love And War.

When Hawkeye awoke the next morning, BJ was already up. He tried to sit up but gave up quickly, groaning and nursing his head. "You had quite a night last night didn't you champ?" "Don't remind me" Hawk said, "I feel as though a heard of elephants are stampeding between my ears." "Is there anything you want to get off your chest?" BJ asked, trying desperately not to laugh as he watched Hawkeye staggering around the tent. "Like what?" "Like, why you felt the need to drink so much last night. I mean, I've seen you his the sauce before but never that hard." BJ said. "No. What I do want is to get something to eat" and tell Jen how I feel he thought. "See ya later Beej." And with a wave of his hand Hawkeye left the tent leaving BJ wondering if what he had heard last night was true.

As I was making my way to the mess tent Hawkeye saw me. It seemed to take him a few seconds before he realised who I was. When he did, he came rushing across the compound, hangover forgotten, and a fierce look of determination on his face. As he reached me, he picked me up and spun me round. "Put me down" I said laughing." Not until you tell me you love me," Hawk said, his eyes smiling. "What did you just say?" I whispered. He lowered me slowly to the floor. "Do you love me?" he asked. I searched his eyes for some sign that he was just joking around but found none. "Yes" I said taking a deep breath. "Do you love me?" I asked, my heart racing, half expecting him to say gotcha. "More than you could ever know" he replied. And then he kissed me, soft, gentle, loving.

After what felt like a lifetime, and I wished it were, our lips parted reluctantly. "Marry me?" Hawk asked softly. "Yes Hawkeye, oh yes." I threw my arms around his neck and squeezed him tight. I felt my feet leave the ground as once again I was lifted into the air. Once my feet had found the ground again Hawkeye said, "lets go tell BJ the good news." "OK" I replied, still a little dumb struck, and with our arms around each other we headed for the swamp. There was no one there, so we figured he had gone to the mess tent. Just as we got there we paused outside the door. "Are you sure about this?" I asked. "You really want to marry me?" "I want nothing more" he told me. I took his hand in mine, "let's go inside, I'm starving."

"Hey Beej." Hawkeye said slapping him on the back. "Hey Hawk, Jen. Why do you two look so happy?" "It's nothing really," said Hawk, "we just have some really great news." "The best news you could give us is that you're transferring out of here," Frank said with a sneer. "What did you just say Frank? That's my man you're talking to there." "Yours and everyone else's" Margaret said. I stood up. Hawkeye put his hand on my arm. "It's ok Hawk." His grip got tighter. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." To Frank and Margaret I said, "Maybe that is how it was, but not any more. Its a little thing called love, which I'm guessing is something you two know nothing about, especially you Frank. I mean, if you really loved your wife, you wouldn't be with the major here, and if you love Margaret, why don't you divorce your wife? You're not in love, you're just after everything you can get. You know nothing about commitment." By this time my voice had raised in pitch and volume. "I love Hawkeye and he loves me, we are going to get married, that is what we wanted to tell you guys. But you had to spoil things, you couldn't bear to see other people happy. I wont have you speaking to the man I love that way, ever. Do you hear me?" "Come on, lets go" Hawkeye said, "before you do something you'll regret."

Outside, I paced the floor, fists clenched. Hawk stopped me and put his hands on my shoulders." Calm down Jen, they're not worth it." "I couldn't let them talk to you like that Hawk," I said, looking up into his face. "I know," he said, holding me tight. "No one has ever done anything like that for me before. God, I love you so much." I kissed him, letting my lips tell him just how much I loved him too. "Come on" he said, "I seem to have lost my appetite and I think we could both do with a drink."

Back at the swamp I sat down on Hawkeye's bunk and watched him pour out a couple of martinis. He then came over and sat beside me. "I've never felt this way about anyone, you know that don't you?" He said handing me a glass. "I know" I replied. After finishing my drink I turned to the man beside me and said, "make love to me Hawk." He responded by pleasuring me in a way I never thought possible.

Once more I woke up finding myself alone. "I hope he's not making a habit of this," I thought. Just as I had finished getting dressed BJ walked in. "I guess congratulations are in order. I'm really happy for you and Hawk." "Thanks BJ, that really means a lot." I said smiling. "Speaking of Hawk, you don't know where he is do you?" "I saw him about 20 minutes ago coming out of Col. Potters office" BJ said. "I wonder what he wanted to see him about," I said, thinking out loud. "I'm gonna be off Beej, I have a few things I need to take care of. If you see Hawk, tell him I'm in my tent." "Will do Jen," he said winking at me.

Back at my tent I sat chewing the end of my pen, puzzling over a letter home. I had started it 2 hours ago and there was still no sign of Hawkeye. Finally, I put my pen down in frustration. "Where are you?" I asked, hoping that I could communicate with him telepathically. I decided to head over to post-op to ask if anyone there had seen him. No one had. I tried the mess tent and even wandered round the whole camp, but it was like he had vanished. By now, another hour had passed and I was starting to get worried. I suddenly remembered what BJ had said about Col. Potter and hurried over in the direction of his office. Just as I got to the door, I saw a jeep approaching with Hawkeye behind the wheel. "Where the hell have you been?" I screamed at him. "I've been worried sick." Hawk just sat there smiling at me. "Are you going to tell me where you've be or not?" I asked. "You know, you're beautiful when you're angry," Hawk said, his eyes flashing with amusement. "I'm not angry," I said, my voice becoming calmer. "I was scarred." He touched my cheek with his fingertips and got out of the jeep. "Your want to know where I've been?" Hawk asked. I nodded. He reached into his pocket, pulled out a box and showed me what was inside. "With this ring" he said.
