When we met

Chapter 4

They moved out of the hell at Sturgis and to Beckinridge. The new camp had hot showers and good grub, but no place to sleep for the men, instead they had to sleep in tents again, it didn't take long for all of them to get ten-day furloughs.

Winters went home to spend time with his parents and Lipton went home and helped out at the boarding house, both of them missed the girls and hoped they would see them again.

Lane and Lew were not that lucky, they had gone home to New Jersey to visit their families.

After Lane had been home for three days, Lane's mom decided it was time for a dinner party, and of course the Nixon's were invited. Lane was happy she got to see Nix, which she hadn't seen since she got back home, her mother had her host tea with the all women in town and do charity work and give speeches at women's lunches.

Lane ignored her moms fuss and even put on a dress for the occasion, she knew Nixon would give her hell for it and he was probably in uniform.

Lane was standing in the hall and greeted the guest as they arrived, she was anxious to see Lew.

When the Nixon's arrived, Lane brought out the million-dollar smile. Nixon and Lane hadn't really discussed if they should make their relationship public or not.

Lew saw Lane as soon as he walked in the door, she was gorgeous, she was wearing a deep red dress and diamond earrings. Lew just hoped Sink wasn't there so he didn't have to talk war all night.

He really wanted to get Lane alone, he missed sleeping next to her, and held her close. Nix smiled and walked over to say hello to the host couple, he shook Lane's dads hand and kissed Lane's mom on the cheek and he just stared at Lane.

"You look absolutely breathtaking "He said and kissed her cheek, he stepped away and couldn't help but salute her.

Lane just rolled her eyes and took his arm. "Why don't we go find a more secluded place?" She said,

Lew smiled, he grabbed them both a drink, they walked outside, it was a bit cold and Lew put his jacket around Lane's shoulder.

He took her hand and looked down at their hands "Is your uncle here" Lew asked

Lane smiled "No he is in D.C, so don't worry" Lane said and kissed Nixon.

They were called to the table, Lane and Lew were seated next to each other, there was a lot of holding hands and hands on thighs going on through dinner.

Lane pulled Lew into the study and they got a little carried away, the door opened and Nixon's dad and Lane's dad stepped in, the two of them jumped apart.

It was too late, there was no hiding what was going on.

"So how long has this been going on?" Lane's dad asked and put his glass of scotch down on his desk.

"dad it's not…" Lane started

"Save it young lady, I knew there was something different about you when you came home, you were too happy" Lane's dad said.

"Sir, I really…." Nixon started, but a look from his father stopped him.

"You two have some explaining to do, and what about your divorce Lewis" Nixon's dad asked

Lane started to explain how the two of them had met up at OCS, and how they slowly became friends again, and after the divorce how they decided to give a relationship a try and how it had worked out, and that they worked together at S2.

"did your uncle know about this" Lane's father asked

Lane knew she had to keep uncle Robert out of this "No, nobody except some of the other officers" Lane said and crossed her fingers behind her back.

"I am not happy about this Stan" Lane's father said to Nixon's father.

"I understand Fred, but what are we going to do?" Nixon's father said.

Lane and Lew slipped out of the study and waited in the hall for them to get called back in the study.

"The two of you are going to keep this from your mothers, and if you both get through this war alright, we will discuss it again, and see what happens" Lanes father said

Lane fought the urge to roll her eyes, they were going to be across an ocean, so they could pretty much do as they pleased, so she just smiled and agreed.

Nixon gave her hand a squeeze and headed home, with his parents.

For the rest of the leave Lane and Nixon were kept pretty much apart by their fathers, so when the leave ended Lane was happy to get back to Camp.

Mid-august they were all once again loaded into trains, and once again, the only two people who knew where they were going were Lane and Nixon.

"Come on captain, you can tell me, I won't tell anyone" Bill was trying to get Lane to tell him where they were heading, so he could win a bet with Liebgott.

"Leave the pretty Captain alone" Welsh said

He was sitting beside Nixon, and the two of them were sharing Nixon' flask, which meant they would be plastered before they reached their destination. Lane sighed once again she would be the one to organize the S2 section, she was getting a little annoyed with Nix drinking.

Winters was writing a letter, no doubt to Katie, he usually handed them to Lane who sent them to Katie, since she knew where she was.

Lane looked at Welsh "aww, thanks lieutenant handsome" Lane cooed to Welsh.

Nixon looked at Welsh "hey get your own girl" He said

"I got a girl, but she is not here so I have to borrow yours," Welsh said with a smirk.

Lane shook her head and left her seat, she wandered down to the part of the train where the enlisted men were, she wanted to find some sane company, it seemed like all the officers were out of their minds these days.

She found Easy company, Bill was back there making bets about where they were going, Liebgott was taking his bet and they were both wrong, if they just had bothered to look out of the window, they would know where they were heading.

Luz looked up "hey Captain going my way" he said

"Depends on where you are going" Lane said

"I don't know, why you don't tell me," Luz said

"Can't do that, but I can tell you, that there once again will be pretty red cross girls there, for you lot to flirt with" Lane said and looked around the train.

She wondered how many of the cocky young men would make it through the war, how many would be killed or wounded.

Would the men she was close to make it? and would she make it home? she was an Intelligence officer, but that didn't mean she wasn't in danger, she would be the one walking the line at two in the morning, and swimming rivers to collect Intel.

Would she return from the war? Would Lew? She wasn't sure and it scared the hell out of her, all she could do was live in the moment, she never had any regrets.

"She knew, she would carry his love with her through the invasion, it would be her strength for holding on every minute she had to be gone, she would have everything she would need, carrying his love with her in her heart, a heart she had held on to for so many, many years.

Lane had once decided never to fall in love, her dad being a notorious cheater and her mom had been putting on a brave face. Lane knew her mom knew about the affairs and a long time ago Lane had decided that love was not for her, and that most men in her circle were not to be trusted, and lord behold here was Lewis Nixon sweeping her off her feet.

Well you only live once right? and who knew how long her life would be.

"hey Captain, you in on a poker game" Talbert asked her

"Can’t, I have been told that I can't gamble with you guys anymore, Sinks order after I cleaned you out last week, and somebody complained to Winters" Lane said

There was a low mumbling about who the culprit could be, but no one knew.

"But I will stay and bull shit with you guys, if you will let me in on the latest gossip around the barracks" Lane said.

"Well rumor has it Lipton is in love with Mia, but she isn't answering any of his letters, so he is acting like a complete bear" Liebgott said he wasn't afraid Lipton wasn't his platoon sergeant.

Lip had changed since Mia and Katie had left. It was strange about the letters, Lane had sent the letters herself, who was keeping Mia's letters, Lane could only think of one person, Sobel, he had to have a hand in this.

"So are you telling me, that he hasn't heard anything from Mia, what about Winters has he heard from Katie, and Speirs?" Lane asked

"Rumor says no" Tab said

"Hm, Maybe I should have a little talk with Evans" Lane said

"What else give me something" Lane said

"Well rumor says Speirs is going to propose to lieutenant Hunt, once we get to where we are going" Luz said

"What, no way" Tab said

"True, heard from a sergeant over in D. company" Luz said

"That rumor I know is not true, Someone is getting proposed to, and the old Sparky did help pick out the ring" Lane said

"Well who is getting hitched then?" Luz asked

"McMillan, he is proposing to that field nurse they have tacking along with them, as soon as we hook up with the 326th" Lane said.

"Good, made me feel a lot better," Talbert said and let out a breath.

"Well what about you Nixon?" Luz asked Lane

"We are just taking one day at the time, no hurry, who knows next year at this time I could be six feet under" Lane said.

"cynical much Captain" Luz said

"Realistic, dear Luz," Lane said.

Lane noticed Evans walking towards her, she stood up and grabbed him by his collar, "Where are they" She asked him and pushed him up against the wall

"Where are what?" The scared sergeant said he was Sobel's right hand and he was hated by most of the men.

"The fucking Letters from the 326th, don't even try to deny it" Lane spat out

"I don't..." That as far as Evans got, before Lane slammed him up against the wall once again

"Once again, where are the letters Evans?" Lane said through her teeth

"Sobel got them in his footlocker" Evans said

"Thank you, oh and this stays between us, got it?" Lane said

Lane walked back to the men "I need a couple of volunteers who wants to mess with Sobe,l and I will take all the blame" Lane said

Guarnere, Toye and Luz were on their feet in no time.

"Rumor has it Sobel is keeping Lips and Winters letters in his footlocker, so let's go find the cargo wagon" Lane said

The group walked through the train, and when they walked past D, company Speirs looked up, he had a questioning look in his eyes "She is ok, we are just on a mission" Lane said and smiled.

They found the cargo wagon, and found Sobel's footlocker, Lane, who was the only one who carried live ammunition, considered for a brief moment shooting the lock of the thing.

Instead Bill picked the lock and inside they found what they came for.

They gathered the letters, and got the hell out of there.

Lane held all the letters in her hand, she was beyond pissed off, what kind of person did this, she ought to have Sobel court-martial for this.

Thinking about the amount of paperwork a court martial would land her, she dropped the idea; she knew she would get the bastard back soon enough.

Back with Easy Lane, Mia dropped Mia's bundled letters up in Lipton's lap and smiled, "Don't ask, just read them" Lane said.

Lipton opened the first Letter from Mia.

Dear Lip

I can't believe we were separated only hours after finally finding each other.

The jeep ride to, well I can't tell you where I am, for security reasons, was long and boring.

I was thinking about you the whole way here.

When we arrived we were quartered in a barrack with a bunch of new nurses. The only exception is D company's field nurse, Sophie. She is as miserable as Katie, Dani and I, she is apparently involved with the XO of D. company.

The barracks here are nice, hot water for showers and good chow, I still haven't figured out the idea behind sending us here.

Katie has more skills in her pinky than any of the regimental surgeons, they look like freaking idiots compared to Katie, and Sophie and I are more experienced than the head nurse, so the three of us try to be polite and nod when needed.

I miss you, especially at night. I can hear the young nurses talk about their boyfriends. I miss our talks and the feeling of your arms wrapped around me and the scent of you, I cant wait till you finally get here, that's what gets me through this.

Love

Mia

There was a whole stack of letters and Lip couldn't wait to read them, but he would wait until he was somewhere quieter.

Lane had dropped off Katie's letters and Winters was now reading the first one.

Dear Dick

So here I am, surrounded by incompetent morons, I don't know where they recruited these morons, just be glad the second battalion has Mia, Sophie and I.

I watched one of the doctors kill a man today, thank god he was only practicing on a dummy, I had to show a major how to do his job.

It's like I am in a special kind of hell designed just for me.

Enough complaining, I do miss and I wish you were here with me, I miss sleeping next to you and listening to your heartbeat in your chest knowing that it beats in sync with mine.

See you soon.

Love you

Katie.

Ps: tell McMillan he better come bearing an engagement ring for Sophie, she cries at night, when she thinks everyone is asleep, she really, really misses him. And tell Speirs that Dani misses him, but refuses to write to him.

She loves him, that's all that went through Winter's head after reading Katie's letter, she really did love him, a stone fell from his heart, he loved her too, he just hadn't told her, he was saving it for a special occasion.

The train slowed down and finally came to a stop, the men were herded out and they climbed into the waiting trucks.

They were taken to camp Shanks 30 miles up the Hudson river from New York city.

Easy company jumped off the truck and was called to attention, Sobel was conducting an inspection, when three girls came running across the parade ground, coming to a screeching hold behind him.

He could hear some laughing behind him and the men's attention wasn't on him, he felt like he had no choice, but to dismiss the men, when he saw Captain Easterday looking at him with her ice cold eyes. Evans had told him about their run-in on the train, and Sobel knew that the letters, which used to be in his footlocker, were now in possession of their rightful owners.

He wanted to avoid any trouble with Lane. After an incident where he had caught her fooling around with Nixon, he had complained to Sink about her behavior, only to find that Captain Easterday was Sinks niece, and if he knew what was good for him, he would stay on her good side, Sink adored his niece and protected her against any wrong.

"Dismissed," Sobel said.

Hearing a loud cry Lane looked over at Mia and Lipton, they were currently trying to fit into one set of clothes.

Winters was standing facing Katie, smiling and holding both her hands.

Lane saw the two of them walk off towards the officer's quarter, knowing Katie she was going to make the lieutenant snuggle with her; she had been in scrubs looking very tired, but really happy.

Lane felt a hand on her shoulder, she put hers on top of it and smiled, Nixon put his arms around her waist "Are you happy now" he said

"I am very happy, I got a good feeling about this" She said, when she saw McMillan drop to one knee in front of his field nurse, of course Sophie accepted and she started to cry.

Dani just stood with her bag looking around for Speirs, but he wasn’t there.

A few inoculations later and with arms that felt paralyzed they boarded a troop transport ship, to cross the ocean.

The ocean liner was designed to carry a thousand passengers, but was currently carrying 5000 soldiers.

The officers were quartered in cabins above deck and the men were in bunks below deck.

It was crammed and any attempt to do PT had to be stopped, Lane, Mia, Dani, Katie and Sophie shared a cabin. Sophie was a welcome addition to their little group, she was a smart, and sassy girl from Ohio, with green eyes and ginger hair, her parents had immigrated to the US from Ireland when Sophie was ten years old, and she still had a bit of an accent, which was what drove McMillan absolutely up the wall.

The girls weren't always where they should be at night.

Dani was with her men most of the time, the close quarters were getting to them, they were getting tired of playing poker and craps and there was a sudden amount of tension rising.

One of the men was making a crack about, that right now some lucky bastard was heading to the pacific, with flamingoes and naked native women.

Domingus said that Flamingos are mean, they bite and someone said "so does the naked native ladies"

One day Liebgott and Bill got in a fight over Sobel and Dani tried to separate them, and got hit by Bill's elbow, right in her temple, everything went black, right before she hit the deck a pair of strong arms caught her and carried her back to her cabin.

When she came thru she looked into a pair of green eyes and Sophie smiled at her and said "Welcome back, someone has been pacing the hall waiting to see you"

Sophie opened the door and a very angry Speirs walked in the door.

"You Ok?" he asked

"I am fine, what did you do to Bill, and how did you know about the fight, I assume you were the one who caught me" Dani said

"Well I threatened to rearrange Bill's face, I was actually below deck when the fight broke out, and that's how I made it over in time to catch you" Ron said.

After Speirs little pep talk there were no more fights for the duration of the trip, the troop ship arrived in England and the troops were shipped off to Aldbourne.

Aldbourne 1943

Easy Company arrived in Aldbourne in the middle of the night, they soon realized they were in a war zone and the total black out impressed them.

The men were Quartered in Nissan huts, and the officers in a very crammed manor house. Dani, Lane, Katie, Mia and Sophie were all sharing a room with bunk beds and they loved it, it was like being back at Toccoa.

Lane threw her bag on a bunk, and sat down "God, it's so good to have a decent bed again" she said.

"Yeah enjoy, there are four people in this room, who won't be getting any sleep the next few weeks" Katie said

Katie, Mia, Dani and Sophie were supposed to report to the camp hospital the next morning, there were wounded who needed treatment.

The first weekend in England everybody got a weekend pass, and there was a dance in Swindon.

Lane, Dani, Mia and Sophie were all going; Katie had a shift at the hospital.

It didn't bother her, she rather spent the evening with the wounded, and she hoped Winters would stop by.

Lane decided it was a civilian clothing event, and the girls all wore dresses, high heels and make up.

"I can't remember the last time I wore a dress," Sophie said

Sophie had been a nurse at Pearl Harbor and then later in Africa, she had been shipped from one place to the next the past three years. She didn't complain, her parents were very proud of her, and encouraged her to do what she felt she needed to do.

Lane was very jealous of Sophie's relationship with her parents, but she absolutely adored Sophie, McMillan was a lucky man.

They walked over to the truck that was going to take them to Swindon.

Dani was caught by a strong pair of arms, before she could get on a truck with the Easy men.

Speirs took her hand and led her to a jeep in front of the convoy. Dani noticed McMillan was guiding Sophie the same way, and the four of them got in the jeep and waited for the signal to head out.

Lipton helped Mia in the back of a truck "Sorry I don't have a jeep for you" He said

Mia looked at him and took his hand in his "It's ok as long as you are here nothing else matters" Mia said, and leaned her head on his shoulder.

"Hey Captain Easterday, where is your dream beau?" Luz asked Lane

"Already there, and probably drunk as a skunk, along with Welsh" Lane said.

The Column moved towards Swindon. The men were already in a good mood, Lane was laughing along with the men, and she was sharing a bottle of whiskey with Guarnere, Toye and Malarkey.

When they arrived at the dance Lane was tipsy; the soldiers stumbled into the dance hall. Nixon and Welsh were already there, sitting at the bar.

Lane stumbled over to Nixon, who had actually been holding back, so when he saw Lane he knew it had been a wise choice, "Hey babe, how about a dance handsome?" Lane said.

"sure, why not, drunk much Easterday" Nixon said

"Yes and you know what? I like it" Lane said

"I bet you do," Nixon said and led her out on the floor.

Dani was sitting at a table with Sophie, Speirs and McMillan, and a couple of the other officers, they were talking about their men and the company.

Dani excused herself, Speirs let her out, thinking she would be right back. She found Luz, Talbert, Mia, Lipton, Guarnere, Toye, Liebgott, sitting at a table laughing and drinking, and she decided this was the place to be.

"hey lieutenant sits down" Luz said

"Don't mind if I do," She said, and before she had a chance to blink, a drink was placed before her.

"So how come you are not sitting with Sparky?" Guarnere asked

"Well Bill, the Dog guys have nothing on my Easy guys, cheers" Dani said.

Dani was talking with Luz and Talbert who had joined them when he noticed Dani at the table.

Dani was getting louder and louder as the night progressed, there was no one to stop her drinking.

Mia and Lipton were to wrapped up in each other, and spend half the night on the dance floor

Lane, Nix and Welsh were drunk, and Speirs was to wrapped up in his conversation and drinking with the officers to, even notice how long Dani was gone,

Sophie, who had stayed sober, she had to drive the jeep back, noticed where the night was heading.

Dani was on the dance floor, dancing a little too close to Bull. Sophie knew Dani was safe with Bull; he was like a big teddy bear and would not take advantage of a drunken Dani.

The Easy and Dog officers needed to leave; Sophie stood up and told her drunken fiancé to get on his feet.

"Mac get up, honey we are leaving" Sophie said

McMillan was too drunk to object, just looked at Speirs "Hey Sparky, we are heading out" he said

Speirs, who was very inebriated at this point, suddenly remembered he had Dani with him at one point, his eyes were glassy, he looked around to see if he could spot her.

His heart clenched a little when he saw her sitting on Talbert's lap.

He walked over and held his hand out to her; Dani, who was too drunk to object, just took it and followed him out while she stumbled after Speirs.

He got her in the back of the jeep and got in next to her, Dani leaned up against him and gave him a drunken smile and the tirade of angry words he had been holding back disappeared, Dani just sighed and closed her eyes and leaned against Speirs "I love you" She said.

He pulled her close "I know," he said as they drove off.

While everybody else was at the dance, Winters was alone in the enormous manor house, he was in the room he shared with Welsh. He heard someone walking down the hall, and a cup of coffee appeared in the door, and soon after Katie's head, peaked in "Busy" She asked

"No, not really" Winters said

"Well I am on my break, and I was hoping a handsome lieutenant would come by and visit, but instead I have to settle for you" Katie said and smiled at Winters

"Well here I am, so are you busy," He asked Katie

"Yes, we have wounded coming through, and it's not pretty I can tell you that" Katie said.

"Well I guess they are getting the best care in the army, with you there," Winters said

Katie finished her coffee "I have to get back, I have a surgery" Katie said and kissed Winters

"Be careful," He said

Katie just smiled, tapped the doorframe and walked out.

When Dani woke up the next morning she had a killer headache, and wanted to stay under her covers. The other girls started to move around; Dani just groaned and turned her back to them.

Lucky for her it was Sunday, her day off.

Lane was sitting on the edge of her bed looking like hell, Katie was in day-old scrubs, and she was clearly headed to bed; Mia and Sophie, who had been the only two sober, was on their way to the hospital.

Lane got up "I can't believe I have a meeting with Sink in an hour" She said and gathered her uniform and headed for the shower.

Dani and Katie were alone. "Hey Katie, can I ask you something?" Dani said

"Sure, what up sissy?" Katie said

"I told Speirs, I loved him," she said

"What did he say?" Katie said

"I know" she answered

"Dani, don't worry, that man is bat shit crazy about you, and of course he loves you, everybody can see that, he just doesn't know how to say it yet, now get some sleep" Katie said and fell asleep.

Katie had her own problems at the hospital, they were understaffed, and once again she was the most experienced surgeon on staff, which meant she was on call twenty for hours a day, and it took its toll on her.

Katie was getting agitated and snapped at the nurses and medics; Roe finally had enough and went to Winters.

There was a knock on Winters door, he looked up and saw it was Roe "Roe, what can I do for you?" Winters said

"We got to do something about Captain Hendrick, she is threatening to kill everybody who comes in her way, and she is used and needs some rest, or something" Roe said

"Why come to me with this, and not Major Barfield?" Winters asked Roe

"Well, I didn't want her to get in trouble sir" Roe said

"I will do what I can Doc" Winters said

Roe nodded and walked out.

Winters looked out of the window; he had enough problems as it was, the NCOs' was mumbling, the trouble with Sobel had intensified, Sobel was getting jumpy in the field.

Now this, Katie, he knew it had to be bad, he never heard her raise her voice, and so it had to be bad at the hospital.

He decided to go find Katie, if she was anywhere to be found that was. He met Nixon and Lane, they were watching some of the boys playing basketball. Winters stopped to talk about the troubles with Sobel, he asked Lane about Katie, but she couldn't tell him anything, she never saw her, and Lane was just as busy.

"If you want to find her, ask Mia and if you need her, find Lipton, they are inseparable when they are both of, its sick" Lane said

Winters just looked at Lane "Ah ha" he said, and gestured to Lane who was leaning up against Nixon.

A jeep stopped, and sergeant Evans hopped out.

"With the compliments of Captain Sobel, sir" Evans said with a smirk

Nixon read the letter over Winters back, "for crying out loud, he misspelled Court Martial" Nixon said.

Winters folded the letter and walked off, he was mad at Sobel for messing with him like that.

Winters walked into the hospital and found Katie, she was in the supply room, trying to find something she could use for a man who badly needed a slower drip.

"hey honey, what the matter with you" Katie could tell something was wrong.

"Sobel is court-martialing me for an infraction I didn't commit" Winters said

Katie could tell Dick was most upset about the fact Sobel was saying he had been negligent of his duty, not so much about the court martial itself.

"You have nothing to worry about, you didn't do anything wrong, we will find a way out of this" Katie said and hugged Winters.

"I know… it's just really frustrating, trying to put up with him," Winters said.

Winters were transferred to battalion mess and the NCO was getting ready to commit mutiny.

Mia was trying to talk Lipton out of going with the other NCO to turn in his stripes "You can't do it, you can get lined up against the wall and shot" Mia said

"I know you are scared, but I have to do this. I can't let them do it alone" Lipton said

"Please just be careful ok, don't do anything stupid, and don't let Ranney take charge he will blow it" Mia said

Lipton walked over and put his hands on her arms and looked her in the eyes "It's going to be fine" Ok.

Mia was still a little iffy about the whole deal, and decided to go to Winters.

He walked into the barn and saw the NCO writing their letters of resignation, he told them not to do it, that it was an act of mutiny and punishable by death or prison.

Winters talked the NCO out of presenting Sink with an ultimatum.

Lipton walked into the hospital along with Winters who was still a little mad at the NCO, he understood where they were coming from, and wished there was some way of getting rid of Sobel.

Winters just nodded at Lip, he knew the lieutenant hadn't forgiven the men yet.

Lipton found Mia, she was tending to a wounded man, and Lip just hung back and waited for her to finish.

Mia finished up and gave the man a few encouraging words, and put her hand on the man's shoulder.

Mia walked by Lipton and he followed her out into the hallway, he could tell she hadn't forgiven him either.

"So how did it go" She said over her shoulder

"Winters talked us out of it" Lipton said

"Good" Mia said and kept walking

Lipton followed her, he had to avoid patients and medics "Mia, it can't go on, we can't follow Sobel into combat, Mia will you stop please" Lipton said

Mia opened the door to the nurse's office, and gestured for Lipton to follow her in.

Lipton walked over and hugged Mia "Mia we can't follow him into combat, he will get us all killed, think about it, that means you and Dani to, and I can't have the two of you in danger, let's just hope Sink figures this out" Lipton said

Mia looked at Lipton, he was just worried about all the men, and it was one of his best qualities, his empathy and concern for the men.

"I know, I know, it's just my job to look after you" Mia said

"Yeah it is," Lip said and kissed her.

Somewhere else in the hospital Katie was throwing a tantrum, about the incompetence of the army, and how it was slowly sucking the life out of her.

Winters heard it all the way down the hall, and he hurried down to her office, opened the door and told the scared lieutenant, who was on the receiving end of the tantrum, to get out of there.

"What are you doing" Winters asked

"They keep sending me god damn residents, who know absolutely shit, I can't have them out in the field killing the men, I can't do it any more" Katie said

Winters could tell Mia was about to have a major breakdown, she was tough, but the sleep deprivation and the inexperienced staff was draining her, and the fact she was in charge of a company of inexperienced doctors and nurses didn't help. Katie had worked twenty four hours a day for weeks, it was getting too much.

"Katie, let's go get out of here, just for a couple of hours, come on let's take a nap, there is someone I want you to meet and you can yell at him if you want to" Winters said

"I can't leave my patients" Katie started to protest

"Yes you can, Mia and Sophie can come get you if anything happens, come on lets go" Winters said

"I…."

"We are going sweetheart, get in the jeep" Winters had led Katie outside while they were talking.

"Where are we going" Katie asked

"To get one of the new officers from Easy" Winters said and fired the engine

They drove off, and Winters stopped in front of the mess and a blond all American jock walked out.

"Oh I am guessing Nixon just loves him" Katie said

"He put him charge of the battalion's Physical training" Winters said

"Oh he got him running all over then, well I guess that man is just going to love Lane then" Katie said.

Buck Compton got in the front of the jeep.

Winters started to reprimand Buck "These men has been through the toughest training the army has to offer, under the worst possible circumstances, and they volunteered for it

Christ Dick I was just shooting craps with them, it's not like...

"You know why they volunteered, so when thing got really bad, the man in the foxhole next to them would be the best, not some draftee who would get them killed

"Are you ticked because they like me? because I am spending time getting to know my soldiers? I mean come on you've been with these guys for what two years? I been here for six days" Buck said

"You were gambling Buck"

"so what soldiers do that, I don't deserve a reprimand for it" Buck tried to defend himself

"What if you won?" Winters continued.

"What" Buck Said?

"WHAT IF YOU WON" Winters repeated, and got out of the jeep, he held his hand out to Katie who took and he helped her down from the jeep.

Katie turned and looked at Buck "Never put yourself in a position where you can take from these men" Katie said and walked off, leaving a mopping Buck behind.

A few days later Sink came down and gave all the noncoms hell, Sobel got transferred to Chilton Foliat.

"Hey girls come here and check out the new Easy commander," Sophie said

The girls were in the mess and Winters was showing lieutenant Meehan the ropes, they were standing outside talking.

The girls slowly gathered by the door and looked out, they all looked at Meehan with very approving eyes, and he was a handsome man.

Nixon and Lipton were walking towards the mess, and noticed the girls checking out the new lieutenant.

They didn't approve of their girls drooling over some guy, but then again, it was fun to watch Meehan squirm under the girls gazing eyes.

"What are you doing" Nixon asked

Lane turned around and smiled "We are just enjoying the fact Easy got a new CO." She said

"Sure you were," Lipton said and pulled Mia to him just to make sure.

Speirs came around the corner and noticed Dani and Sophie were giggling, and ogling the new Easy lieutenant.

"Sophie, McMillan wants you" Speirs said and gave Dani a cold stare and Dani flushed knowing she had been caught.

Winters looked at the girls "Well sir, I think we should move on" he said to Meehan.

Christmas came and went and so did new years on the first day in April, Easy moved with the rest of the 101st to Upottery.

God Only Knows

(Niall Horan x Oc)

A side Chapter to Flicker. (Will have important bits that will be important to the future of Niall and Emily.)

Summary: The one where Niall turns 30 and Harry can’t handle it.

A/N: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR SWEET BABY IRISH BEAN!!!

Emily’s pov

September 12, 2023🎈

Things have been a bit crazy for us lately. I’m officially unpacked and living with Niall has been a dream- well, when he’s home. With his birthday coming up, I have planned a small party as to not overwhelm him with how busy he’s been.

But lately, it’s been difficult doing much, especially when it involves food. I know what’s going on… I’m just hoping Niall will be happy.

Niall walks throw the door, leaving his suitcase at the door as he struts over to me and picks me up, twirling me me around as he hugs me tight.

“Someone missed me!”

He pecks my lips and sighs, lowering me down before he sets my feet back on the ground.”

“Ya know I did, Em. I know ya had to work… but I wish you could’ve come with me.”

He hugs me tight, his head on my shoulder and he sighs.

“I know. But it’ll be fine! Now shoo! I’ve got to finish some last minute stuff for your party and I think you need some sleep. I’ll make you some lunch in a bit and bring it upstairs. Leave your bags down here. I’ll wash your clothes and you can put the rest away later.”

He sighs and lifts his head up, pecking my forehead before trudging his way up the stairs. I start the laundry and then start on his lunch when Harry comes in through the front door, carrying a box. I turn down the heat on the stove and rush over to help him.

“Did you get everything?”

He puts the box down and nods.

“Everything you ordered. Decorations, plates and all that. Balloons were ordered and I’ll pick ‘em up tomorrow.”

I smile and nod.

“Thanks Harry, I really appreciate this. I’ll get the balloons though. Why don’t you join Niall and Lewis tomorrow morning? Niall wants to teach him to golf. I’m sure it’ll be comedic.”

“Are you sure? That’s an awful lot to do on your own. I know it’s a small party but still- at least call one of your friends to help if not myself.”

“I got it! I’ve planned many a party in my day. My old roommates are coming and they’re helping set up, but everyone else is out of town. They sent presents though. Which I still have to wrap. But it’ll be fine!”

He sighs and nods. He gives me a side hug, patting my head before leaving.

September 13th, 2023🎈

Niall was out the door early with a small peck to my lips, leaving me with plenty of time to prepare.

I put on some music and get to work, cleaning the house and decorating. Zach, Aleks and Jenny arrived at about 10, with the party at 3 and we all got down to work. By the time we finished, cake and food set, my mom and Pedro had arrived, Kelly following behind them.

Kelly gives me a big smile and a hug as she comes through the door.

“Girly! Look at you! Damn! And everything looks great! Niall is gonna love it.”

I give her an anxious smile and bite my lip.

“I hope so. He should be here in just a minute. Oh shit- the presents! I forgot to wrap them!”

I give her a small hug and with Jenny behind me, I race up the stairs to wrap all his presents, including his special present. By the time I come back down, Niall is standing in the den with Harry and Lewis by his side. He sees me from across the room and gives me his signature smile that always gives me butterflies.

“There’s m’ girl! Come gimmie a kiss!”

I laugh and make my way over to him, hugging him and pecking his lips, noting the obvious smell of alcohol on him, Guinness as per usual.

“Well it seems like you had fun. Let’s get you some water. I think all three of you could use it.”

He chuckles and keeps an arm wrapped around my waist as we make our way to the kitchen. Once Niall, Harry and Lewis have some water in their system, we start the festivities.

“Alright birthday boy. Make a wish.”

“Petal, I’m 30. I’m not a boy… I’m a man.”

I snort and shake my head before pecking his cheek.

“Oh, a very manly man. Now blow out your candles before wax melts all over the pretty cake I made you.”

He laughs and nods and takes a deep breath, ready to blow out his candles. Before he can, we hear a sniffle to the right of us. I turn my head and see Harry, tears streaming down his cheeks.

“Harry… are you crying?”

“It’s not fair! Why do we have to turn 30?! First Niall… and I’m next! ‘Ts not fair, Em!”

We all laugh and I shake my head. I walk over to him and give him a side hug.

“It’s okay, Harry. Just the way the world works.”

"But the universe and I had a deal.."

He pouts and I can’t help but snort. Aleks lays a hand on his shoulder, attempting to hold back his laughter.

“Harry, what are you complaining for, dude? You're at the freaking peak of your career!"

Harry frown and shakes his head.

“It’s all up hill until someone trips and falls flat on their face…”

I sigh and give him another hug, patting his back.

“Okay… I think you had a bit too much to drink. How about we get these candles blown out so you can have some of that cake? Sober you up? It’s sugar free…”

He chuckles and nods. Niall blows out his candles and squeezes my hand with a small smile. I serve up some cake and ice cream and I finally sit down next to Niall, who pecks my cheek.

“Thanks for this, Petal. You really didn’t have to…”

I peck his lips and smile.

“I know I didn’t. I wanted to. You made mine the most memorable I’ve ever had… I wanted to do something for you. I know you weren’t especially excited about this one… But I’m so, so happy you decided to celebrate. I want to celebrate you. I’m thankful for you, Ni. Everyday with you. Happy birthday, babe.”

He smiles and plants a passionate kiss to my lips. We all talk and laugh as we eat, until it’s time for presents. Niall laughs as he opens each present slowly, until he gets to the last present. He opens the box and he’s quiet for a minute before he looks at me.

“Em… You’re serious? Y-You’re—.”

I remain silent, only nodding as I nervously wait for his reaction. He stands up and takes me, hugging me tight. I sigh in relief, hugging him back, letting the tears fall down my cheeks. He pulls away slightly and kisses me, tears slowly falling down his cheeks as mine continue to fall.

He pulls away and wipes his tears, before turning to everyone who stand there with confused expressions. Niall takes my hand, a smile on his face.

“We’re pregnant!”

Gasps and claps echo through the room, my mom bursting into tears. Niall hugs me tight and smiles as he caresses my cheek.

“Not that I’m not happy Em, I promise I am… but how? You’re on the shot, right?”

I sit down and Niall takes a seat next to me.

“I was. But I noticed I wasn’t feeling well and I was late. So… I went just in case. Apparently… the batch I got a couple months ago was part of a batch that wasn’t fully developed. So it didn’t work all the way. And well… now we’re here. I know we’ve only talked a few times and neither of us wanted kids this soon-.”

He pecks my lips to silence me before he shakes his head.

“It’s perfect. I promise. No matter what�� Our baby will be so loved… And honestly… I’ve never loved you more…”

I tear up, cuddling into his side as he holds me close. He rests a hand on my stomach, rubbing it as we sit quietly in our bliss, awaiting the times ahead.

>>>————————->

Enjoy the Flicker crumbs lovelies! Chapter six is in the drafts but hopefully they’ll be back soon!

secrets - wroetoshaw imagine

request: none! however it does kind of link to a few :p words: 1538 warnings: little bit embarrassing i can't lie. implied smut, allusions to sex, but generally just a lot of second hand embarrassment.

tl;dr: harry and y/n have been seeing each other for a while, but the secret's out when harry accidentally exposes some very intimate truths

“Come on, Harry,” Simon laughed, glee written all over his features. He holds onto JJ for support, who chuckled beside him.

“Boys, this is awful!” Harry‘s cheeks were burning, laughing along in front of the camera, which was setup haphazardly on the astro-turf football pitch.

“You said you would do it!” Ethan yelled playfully, holding his friend to his word, “At least give us odds.”

“Fine. Odds of 1-10,” Harry sighed.

It was just a stupid forfeit. He’d accidentally hit the goalpost and due to the rules of the Sidemen Sunday, he would have to do the next 3 penalties with his shirt off. It was the middle of January, so the bite of cold was nipping at his neck already, intruding through his layers of clothing.

“Bet,” Ethan giggled from behind the camera.

“Alright, boys,” Simon called, “3…2…1…”

“Six.”

“Fuck!” Harry cursed, a pit of nervousness pooling in his stomach.

The boisterous whoops and laughs from his friends helped to spur him on a little, but he had never been very confident in front of the camera, let alone topless in the middle of winter, outside the safety confines of his flat. A little part of him was beyond thankful that you were here, tucked behind the camera to help with filming. None of the boys knew, but Harry and yourself had been seeing each other in secret.

It started with just hanging out after filming every so often, grabbing lunch or rides home, just enjoying getting to know each other as a little more than acquaintances. This, however, turned quickly into a couple dates, which fell into long nights and messy mornings, legs tangled in his bed and hands reaching to wherever they could. Not that either of you were ashamed of the other, but there was a certain thrill of keeping it all under the covers that neither were fast to get rid of.

“Come on, Bog,” Ethan hollered. This triggered a wave of ceremonious chants, something along the lines of ‘get your tits out’ from his friends.

Sighing in defeat, Harry shook his jacket off hastily, presuming that if he just gets it over and done with, it’ll be less mortifying. Cheers continued until he was down to his last layer, only himself noting the memory of you wearing this exact t-shirt in his flat the night before, he tried not to think of the fact it still smelt like you.

As his lifted the shirt above his head, the blush dusted upon his freckled shoulders very visible, silence fell on the group. Now, it really wasn’t often that this hyper group of men were dead silent, but after seeing the litter of hickeys cascading down Harry’s chest, sensual scratches marking the skin of his back – a pin could drop and it would sound like something nuclear.

Behind the camera, you blushed deeply, pulling the hem of your hoodie to your nose to hide it. Your eyes followed the lines of the scratches on his back, the memories of the night before still more than fresh in your mind. Averting your gaze to the floor, you could feel your cheeks on fire. Luckily, your friends were all too distracted to notice.

“What?” Harry was immediately self-conscious at the unexpected reaction, pulling his shirt to his chest to cover himself. It was only when he caught a glimpse of something crimson, that it clicked.

“Oh fuck!”

Ethan was the first to laugh, a cackle that broke the shocked tension, the dam of silence bursting open as all of his friends jump to embarrass him.

It was a perfect overreaction, realistically it was only a couple hickeys and such, but as Harry had been historically private about his love life to his friends, this was an ideal opportunity to grill the youngest Sideman.

“Are you dating a vampire or something?” Josh joked first, earning a robust reaction from the group. Followed by waves of playful digs at the already embarrassed blonde boy, who was sheepishly pulling his shirt back over his chest.

“Who knew Harry was getting laid so much?” JJ was flabbergasted, playing up to the camera for a reaction.

“Seems like a very satisfied customer,” Simon chuckled, ruffling Harry’s hair – much to his discomfort, he pouted like a kid.

“Ask her yourself, isn’t that right, Y/N?” Josh chuckled.

He had only meant it as a joke. He had no idea of your relationship, only meaning to embarrass the boy further, as he knew Harry found you attractive.

However, when the pair of you froze like deer in headlights, your throat dry as you try and stutter a whimsical response, panicked eyes darting to each other for support, Josh’s eyes blew wide like dinner plates.

“Oh fuck, was it actually you?” All eyes were on you now, your heart pulsating loudly in your chest, waves of embarrassment hitting you. There was a reason you stayed behind the camera, the pressure of attention being directly on you made you crumble.

Harry knew that, so he spoke loudly to drag eyes back to him, now fully-clothed, “Yeah, uh, we’ve been seeing each other for a while now.”

“I knew it!” Tobi called, turning to Simon with a victorious grin on his face.

“Fuck!” Simon cursed, “I said it was bullshit.”

“How did you know?” Harry asked Tobi, blush still tainting his cheeks.

“Harry, you practically can’t keep your eyes off her when you think no one’s watching,” this made you flustered, avoiding Harry’s dazed eyes.

“Fuck sake,” JJ interrupted, everyone turning to him as he fiddled with the camera, “Does that mean we can’t use any of this footage now?”

Chuckles rose from the group, but ultimately it was down to you and Harry to make that decision. His gaze found you, blue eyes laced with affection and a tiny bit of an apology for the embarrassment. Now that the cat was out the bag, he couldn’t care who knew. Of course, there was a terrifying reality of the fans reaction, but you’d been shipped so many times it seemed redundant by now.

“No, it’s okay, I don’t mind,” You smiled nervously, Harry looking at the football on the ground to hide his boyish grin, kicking it around a little at his feet.

Before everyone hopped back into recording the Sidemen Sunday, returning to their football forfeits, he made his way to you, whilst his friends were distracted retrieving the footballs that were kicked haphazardly across the pitch.

“You okay?” He asked softly, his cold hand ghosting over yours. The pair of you were used to keeping things out of the public eye, subtle glances, fleeting touches, whispers shared whilst no one was looking.

“I’m nervous,” You replied gently, feeling tense under his watchful eye.

“Don’t be,” His head dropped to kiss your cheek carefully, letting his lips linger on your icy skin, a safe way to reassure you that he was there.

It was only small; a gentle expression scratching the surface of his affectionate ways, but your heart skittered at the feeling of his hand playing with yours and his warm lips pressing against you. The strong scent of his cologne hit you at the closeness, the heat radiating from him in the bitter January air. You were still riding the coat tails of a silly schoolgirl crush as he pulled away, the exhilaration of being able to touch him outside the privacy of closed doors spurring you on.

Reaching up, you touched his cheek savouringly, leaning up onto your tip-toes and pressing a kiss to his lips. His hand slipped under your jacket and onto your clothed waist, pulling you towards him only lightly, smiling into the kiss once he felt the corners of your lips curl. Pulling apart, he hid his flustered blush by placing a kiss to your hairline.

“Do you want to get dinner after this?” You enquired hopefully, playing with the strings of his hoodie.

“Only if I can get a couple more of these,” Harry whistled playfully, pulling the collar of his jumper down to reveal the tender, crimson love bites.

“Harry!” You buried your face in his hoodie, embarrassment heating your cheeks promptly, his chest stuttering as he chuckles at your flustered reaction.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” He giggled, and you peeled yourself from his embrace, glancing over to see the rest of the group getting ready to film again.

“I’ll take you somewhere real nice, to make up for it.”

“I’m gonna hold you to that, Mr,” You punched his bicep lightly, pushing him away, back towards the camera setup, “Now, go film. I’ll be here when you’re done.”

He nodded, pressing a quick final kiss to your cheek before jogging away sheepishly, batting away the childish calls and digs from his friends.

You watched him happily, smiling at the way he carried himself, the light in his eyes as he joked and battled with his friends, an extra pep in his step as the secretive weight off his shoulders were lifted. He was finally able to care for you in public, to touch you, hold you, tuck the hair behind your ear and kiss you gently without worrying who would find out, and you the same.

It would be hard, when the video releases, and the audience would see the announcement, but you weren’t worried. As long as he was with you, you wouldn’t be scared.

However, you weren’t sure you’ll ever live down the hickeys.
