Summary
Margaret, the night before "What's Up Doc?"
And if it’s a girl—
Margaret is suddenly seven years old again, half asleep on the couch as she waits for her father to get home, for him only to be upset that she wasn’t in bed yet. She’s ten, asking if she can join the trip that he and his army buddies are taking, and he tells her it’s only for boys. And she’s thirteen, crouching at the top of the stairs as her father yells at her mother. He’s as drunk as she is, for once, and demanding to know why she didn’t give him a son.
She can’t breathe. -

“They’re champions. Each and every one of them. This wouldn’t have happened without them,” he said.
What if the 4077th had successfully made the cover of Life magazine after "Dear Peggy?"
