Disclaimer: I do not own Band of Brothers, or anything to do with it. I also mean no disrespect for the real men of Easy Company. I realize that they are heroes, even though they won't say so themselves. Please forgive me.
Plot: SpeirsxOC. There is a member of Easy Company that has deeper secrets than anyone would expect…she's a girl! The only reason that she is allowed to be one of the company members is the fact that her father have the okay, and he is the United States Senator. How will things go when this petite brunette meets up with Lt. Ronald Speirs of Dog Company?
It all started one late night after Captain Sobel made Easy Company run Currahee. The tired soldiers were walking back to base with Dick Winters in the front of them, taking Captain Sobel's place. One particular soldier looks up as Winters calls their name. Winters smirks softly at the soldier, shrugging his shoulders.
"You good there, Ripley?" The soldier smiles at him, flashing brilliantly white teeth. George Luz smirks at Ripley, throwing an arm over her shoulder.
"Yes, Winters, our baby girl here is doing just fine." Ripley smirks up at him, fixing her helmet. Luz looks around at everyone, and grins despite himself.
"What are you doing with your arm around another soldier, soldier? You can't fight the Germans with an arm around a woman!" He states, mimicking Captain Sobel, causing everyone in the company to laugh. They reach base at around eleven at night, and Winters calls Ripley aside. She obediently walks over to him, shifting the weight of her packs uncomfortably. Winters looks towards the sky, and Ripley follows suit.
"Ripley…you know that you're a good soldier. Everyone here knows that. But don't you think you should go and get married; not go to war?" After a while of silence, Winters looks at Ripley. She is staring at him, her chocolate eyes open in shock. She stutters for a few moments, then a small blush crosses her cheeks.
"S-sir…I don't think that would be a good idea. I'm not…I'm not ever out of high school, yet." Winter smiles delicately at her, nodding his head.
"I apologize, Private. I just won't be looking forwards to having to see you hurt." Ripley smiles cheekily at him, looking at him from under her long lashes.
"Are you trying to say that you'd like to wed me, sir?" Winters looks at her in pure shock for a few moments, then his expression changes to caution.
"Are you…playing with me, Private?" Ripley looks up quickly, her smile beaming, dimples showing in her cheeks.
"Yes, I am; isn't it wonderful?"
*****************************Later, in the Barracks*************************
Ripley walks into the barracks after her shower, to be greeted by her fellow bunkmates. She plops down onto her cot, trying to de-tangle her dark brunette curls. She smiles over to Luz, who is mimicking Captain Sobel once more to the entertainment to the rest of the men. Carwood Lipton leans over and taps her on the shoulder, causing her to turn around to see him.
"Yes, Lip?" Lipton just smiles at her, handing her a novel that he had borrowed from her a while ago. Ripley smiles at him broadly, then turns her attention back to Luz. These men were hers. They were her boys. She frowns softly as she lays down on her bed.
Lets just hope they all stay alive long enough to be my boys…
Review, please! Tell me what you think…what can I work on?
