This story is based only on the characters from the show, and I have only the greatest respect for the real members of Easy Co. I only own my OC.
Prologue
12Th June 1945- Zell Am See, Austria
Eugene Roe glanced down at the young girl whose face, even in slumber, frowned in pain. Not a physical pain, but with one that went much deeper than the ugly bruises that marred her sallow skin. Her chest wheezed with each laboured breath she took. Her dark brown hair was matted and stuck to her forehead as sweat soaked her skin; her body trying to fight of the infection raging inside it. She moaned and murmured something ineligible as her head moved from side to side.
Webster and Liebgott had found her up in the mountains that morning, locked away in a cabin and brought her back with them to the aid station. Dr Parson's had quickly diagnosed the girl with pneumonia and malnutrition and decided she probably wouldn't even last the night. But despite the doctor's doubts, something inside Eugene had refused to give up. After succeeding in finding one small vein to put an IV into, he had spent the last few hours pumping fluids and penicillin into her frail body and waiting patiently for any sign that her fever might be abating.
Subconsciously, her small hand drifted to the gentle curve of her rounded stomach. Eugene watched in fascination as the baby inside wriggled and stretched, making its presence known. Fascinated, he placed his hand softly against the mound and was rewarded with a swift kick.
"You're a strong one, huh?" he whispered. "Save some of that energy for your Mama, little one. She needs it." The baby kicked again and Eugene smiled. "That's right, we're gonna get her better. Just you wait and see."
