Hello this chapter have been edited on May 28 th.

Thank you for reading and your reviewievs

Liebgott had been watching Lane and Nixon out of the window, he was a little jealous of their relationship, not that he was interested in the Captain, it's just it must be nice to have someone here who knew you, really knew you and with whom you could have the kind of fun he just witnessed.

"Hey guys come check this out, Nixon was kissing Captain Easterday and Sobel busted them," Liebgott yelled to the rest of Easy.

The guys pilled over and looked out the window, they saw Nixon and Lane looking embarrassed, but they could tell Captain Easterday was amused, but also slightly pissed, the men started to make bets about who would win Sobel or the Captain.

Most of the guys would put their money on Lane, but Perconte and Toye was convinced that the Captain was too afraid of Sink to do anything stupid.

Lane and Nixon got on their feet, Lane was about dying, this situation was hilarious, she was trying not to laugh, however for Nixon this was another story, Sobel still out ranked him, and he was thinking like hell how to get out this one.

Once again, Lane had gotten him in trouble, he should be used to it by now, she had after all done it all her life.

Sobel looked at Nixon "lieutenant you might want to get your uniform in order" Sobel said

Nixon saluted him and straightened his uniform, Sobel then looked at Lane "Captain Easterday, do you think it's appropriate to be rolling around with Lieutenant Nixon" he said.

"Well I don't really think what I choose to do or not do is any of your business, if you have failed to notice it, you don't out rank me Sobel and even if you did, you are not my commanding officer, and last time I checked you weren't lieutenant Nixon's either, so if you will excuse me, I would like to get to the mess and so would the lieutenant" Lane just stared Sobel right in the eye.

Sobel didn't like to be corrected in front of Nixon, Sobel had always been jealous of Nixon's and Winters friendship and their relationship with the men

He had hoped when Lane showed up at Toccoa, she would pay some attention to him, she was after all a rather pretty girl, but when he realized she knew Nixon and he saw the bond she started to form with the other girls, Sobel knew she would never notice him.

Sobel stepped aside to let the two of them pass, just as they reached the door Sobel spoke up "Captain Easterday, this isn't over, let's see what Sink has to say about this" with that he just walked of.

Lane clenched her fists and kept walking toward the mess, when she walked into the mess, she sighed, turned and gave Nixon a smile. She turned around and headed towards the guys from Easy and Amy.

She sat down next to Bull and Liebgott, and smiled at them, Liebgott looked at her and started to laugh "Captain Easterday, so Nix, well, well, you going to get in trouble with Sink now?" Liebgott said

Lane shrugged "probably, I can handle it, I don't know about the lieutenant though, maybe I should find Winters so he won't drink himself to oblivion" Lane said

Lane stayed and talked with Bull for a bit, she kept an eye on Nixon the whole time, he was sitting with Speirs, who were not talking either, the two of them was just deep in thought.

Lane got up and went out to find Winters, she knew she could find him in his quarters or at the hospital, everybody knew he had a thing for Katie, well everybody but Katie and Winters.

She found him in his quarters, she knocked on the door and walked in, Winters got his feet to salute her, Lane just waved him of "No need for that Dick, I am here to ask you a personal favor" Lane said.

Winters sat down and looked at Lane waiting for her to continue, Lane paced for a minute before she sat down.

"Ok Nixon and I might have gotten a little carried away, fooling around" Lane said and paused.

Winters lifted his eyebrow and smiled at Lane "Ok don't even think that" Lane said

She paused again, before she explained what had happened and how Nixon had acted and she was worried, Nixon usually dealt with his problems in one way, by drinking vat 69 and lots of it, with the jump training coming up Lane needed him sober and in tip top shape.

"Lane I will do my best, I promise" Winters said

"Thanks Dick, seen Katie today" Lane asked him, Lane smiled and walked out.

Winters shook his head, Captain Easterday was trouble, but there was no one else he would want to collect Intel, she was damn good at her job.

Winter returned to his work, he was excited about the next day, the start of jump training. The rest of the officers was just as excited.

He worked for about an hour, he stopped and looked at the clock it was almost eight in the evening and Nixon wasn't back

He headed out the door to look for Nixon when he bumped into Katie, he smiled at her and she smiled back and stopped to talk for a minute, Dick could tell she was tired and when she yawned he told her to head to bed, they could talk in the morning.

Winters went to the officers club, but Nixon wasn't there, he walked out again and looked around, if Nixon wasn't here, where was he then?

Winters found Nixon leaning up against a jeep, looking over at the girls quarters, he was smoking, but at least he looked sober.

"Hey what's up with you?" Winters asked Nix

"I think I screwed up, I kissed Lane and that's not the bad part, because I really wanted to do that, but Sobel busted us," Nixon said.

Winters put his hand on Nixon's shoulder "Sorry, but you should be careful, Sobel will cause trouble you know that" Winters said.

"Yeah I know" Nixon said

"So why are you here staring at Lanes quarter?" Winters asked

"I don't know, I think I am going to head back to quarters," Nixon said.

"Yeah good idea" Winters said.

The two men headed back, after settling in Nixon laid awake for a while, he couldn't believe he had kissed Lane it wasn't like he had ever thought about it before, it was just at that very moment he couldn't help himself, it was like a magnetic force pulled him to her, and it had felt good and right, so right, he just regretted not talking to her about the kiss, Nixon sighed and fell asleep.

Lane was awake she was listening to Katie's snoring and it sounded like Amy was dreaming.

Lane had been surprised when Nix kissed her, but she liked it, she always thought, if they ever got in that situation it would feel like kissing her brother, but it hadn't far from, it had felt incredible, now they just had to find a way of working together.

The next morning Lane rolled out of bed at five am, she didn't want to wake up, Katie and Amy so she hurried to put on her uniform and headed to the hanger, on her way there she met Nixon and they walked in silence, when they got there the hanger was empty

Lane looked at Nixon and shoot him a smile. "Good morning"

Nixon studied Lane and searched her face for any regret, fear or anger, but all he found was a happy Lane, Nixon let out a breath he hadn't realized he had held back.

"Good morning" He said and stroked Lanes chin, Lane could feel her blood run faster, she leaned in to kiss him, but before he could kiss her their instructor walked in, and Lane turned away from him, paying full attention to the jump instructor.

They spend the morning being hoist up in a harness jumping from different platforms, around eight they learned how to pack their chutes doing it over and over again, and over lunch even more jumping from platforms, in the afternoon the had class room instruction.

The jump training went well for everybody,

They learned to pack their own chutes and prepare their equipment to be dropped in an airborne operation.

They also made drops from the 250-foot free-fall towers.

The training was exhausting and the girls was too exhausted to think about anything else than training and Katie still had to keep up with her patients at the hospital.

After completion of the training, they made their 5 qualifying jumps from an airplane in flight, the officers was the first to get their wings.

Amy was on a plane with Speirs and other officers from Dog company, she was nervous and having Speirs sitting next to her wasn't helping, just before the jump light came on, he took her hand, he noticed how cold it was and Speirs noticed Amy was pale and even more thin than last he talked to her.

He made a mental note to talk to her or with Captain Hendrick, when the jump light came on the jumpmaster stood up.

"stand up, hook up, equipment check" He yelled over the engine noise Amy noticed Speirs hand linger on her arm, and the she moved up and jumped out of the plane, it was awesome and she couldn't wait to do it again and again.

After making the five jumps, the men and officer received the most coveted prize, the Parachutist's Badge. Of those who had begun the jump training, 98, 7 % finished with their silver jump wings.

Lane and Nixon had gotten their wings on Tuesday, today was Thursday.

Lane and Nixon had been missing, since Tuesday, rumors was that they already had been dropped into Europe, the truth wasn't that excited they were at Camp McKall in North Carolina getting training in tactical war fare.

While Lane was away and Katie was busy at the hospital, Amy felt alone, Speirs was still distant and she really hadn't seen him since the last jump, she had only seen him passing by and he still hadn't talked to her, which made her both sad and angry.

Sad because Amy had to admit she really liked him and angry because she felt like he ignored her on purpose.

Amy was currently waiting for Katie, she was leaning against the hospital, and it was almost too cold to move.

A nurse walked out and looked around, the nurse was about 5, 6, had a deep shade of chestnut red/brown hair.

"Lieutenant Hunt" She asked Amy

"Yes" Amy answered

"Hey I am lieutenant MacKall, Captain Hendrick send me to find you, she is treating one of the officers from Dog company and she wondered if you wanted to come help her" Lieutenant MacKall said

"No thanks, I'll just stay here" Amy said

"Oh Lieutenant, I think you really want to come and help out on this one, she is treating a certain dark haired lieutenant from Dog Company who is in agonizing pain" The lieutenant said

Amy realized what Lieutenant MacKall was trying to tell her, Amy pushed of the building and followed the Lieutenant inside.

They walked down the hall talking about life at Benning and when they were half way to the examination room they were on a first name basis. Lieutenant MacKalls first name was Mia and her brother was the one Camp MacKall was named after.

"So Speirs hurt himself" Amy asked

"He sure did, jumping of the back of a truck, he sprained his ankle and pulled a hamstring, the doctor is torturing him a little for being mean to you" Mia said with a chuckle.

Just before the reach, the examination room they passed Sergeant Lipton and Amy noticed Mia blushing a little, when he saluted them.

"You do know he is married right" Amy said to Mia

"Yes I know, but he is so good looking and such a gentleman" Mia said

"I know, he is my platoon" Amy said.

Amy walked in the door to the examination room, Speirs was twitching in pain and Katie was standing over him, examining his leg, with a huge smile on her face.

Amy couldn't help but smile, Mia had followed Amy into the room and was looking down, so she wouldn't laugh, the big scary lieutenant Speirs, was at the mercy of three women, who would go out the way to make him feel a little pain.

"Did you hurt yourself Sir" Amy asked in an innocent voice.

Speirs turned his head "Oh god Amy, I am glad you are here, she is hurting me on purpose" Speirs said

"And what do you want me to do about it" Amy asked Speirs and tried to keep back a chuckle

"Just do something" He said, just then Katie squeezed down on the pulled hamstring.

Katie bandaged Speirs "You are good to go, no jumps in a week buddy" She told him.

Speirs got up and shot Katie a cold stare, he walked past Amy, took her hand and pulled her with him, before Amy could say anything, they were outside and Speirs dragged her to a secluded place of the fort.

He pushed her up against the wall and looked at her with an amused look in his eyes,

"So you weren't going to help me at all" he said.

Amy felt her knee buckle under her and her mouth went dry so she just shook her head.

Speirs knew he had her right where he wanted her, he could kiss her or just walk away and she would still be surprised and left wanting more.

"Well then I won't share my bed with you again," He said and stepped even closer to her so he had her pinned up against the wall.

Amy's knee gave out and Speirs had to hold her up, he leaned in and kissed her, he then turned around and left.

Amy sat down on the ground and pulled her knees up to her chest, she put her head on her knees and sobbed.

That's how Lipton found her, when he touched her she startled and then fell into his arms crying, she cried for the way Speirs treated her, for all her worries and fears and for the men in her company who had their youth ruined by the war.

Then she collapsed into Lipton's arms and passed out, he carried her to the hospital, where he handed her over to Katie.

Speirs had seen Lipton carry Amy to the hospital and ran into the hospital, he was stopped by Mia and Lipton.

"Lieutenant, sir wait here, the doctors are looking at her" Lipton said

Speirs shot Lipton one of his ice cold stares, he ran his hand thru his hair and turned around and left the hospital.

The next few days Amy drifted in and out of consciousness, she could have sworn Speirs was with her at night and during the day she could feel, Katie, Mia, Talbert and Lipton there, even Winters had been by and had sat with her.

On day seven she woke up and saw Lane sitting with her, looking at a bunch of papers, Nixon was standing leaning up against the wall and Amy could swear that something was going on between them, they seemed very relaxed.

Lane notice Amy was awake and put down her papers, she looked over at Nixon, and "Nix go get Katie" She said and sat down on Amy's bed

"How you doing sweetie" Lane asked

"Like I been beat with something big" Amy said.

"Just lay down Katie will be right here" Lane said.

Katie walked in and looked at Amy "so glad you decided to join us again" Katie said

Katie explained to Amy that she had pneumonia and when Lipton brought her in, her fever had been thru the roof, but they had managed to get the fever down and the last 24 hours she had been fever free.

Just when Katie finished the door opened and a very worried Speirs was standing at the door.
