Bastogne 1944

He just stared at her for the longest time. Christine was imagining what her brother might be thinking. "Why are you here?!" "Do you want to get killed?!" "I thought you were in London!"

Sure enough he said those exact words, "Why are you here?!" "Do you want to get killed?!" "I thought you were in London?"

"Calm down Lew! I was assigned here okay? And I was actually in Paris!" She spat out.

"You could have said no." He said in a concerned look.

"What do you think?!" She finally said.

He shook his head.

"You don't understand do you? This is dangerous. You know I can't protect you out here. "

"You do not have to." Christine let out a sigh. "I am old enough now that I am no longer your "baby" sister anymore. Don't you think I know going on the lines is dangerous for you, me and everyone else? I risked my life to save others and you don't have to save me. You don't have to rescue me every time I need help."

There was a pause and then silence.

"I am going to see if Roe needs help." She sighed as she walked off hoping she knocked some sense into her brother. He was sure acting different. She did not know why maybe the war finally got to him.

Nixon looked down at the ground and crunched some of the snow underneath his boots. He did not want to lose everything he loved. He shivered slightly looked on towards the German lines then went back into his foxhole.

Christine walked toward Eugene Roe's foxhole. The snow began to fall slowly in the forest. The forest seemed quiet for the longest time. The fog started to lift and she could finally see the other side of the line. I wonder what the Germans were doing at this second. Were they thinking we could fire at any minute or could they? She shivered at the thought. She hadn't been in real combat since D-Day and since then she was happy to be in Paris away from the screams, bullets and blood everywhere. She slipped down into Roe's foxhole and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother happy to see you huh?" He said.

"Yeah. It was a real treat. I just wished he would understand." She kicked a little of the frozen dirt embedded in the foxhole.

" Would you understand if you were in his position?" He said as he gave her the look.

" I guess not."

"Well then problem solved." He smiled.

" He is still mad at me." She said as she shrugged her shoulders.

" He'll be fine. Ever since he got hit he has been a little on edge."

" What?! What are you talking about?" She exclaimed nearly knocking him over with her reaction.

"Yeah back with Operation Market Garden. We planned to finally infiltrate the German Border. Everything backfired. We had to pull back. Your brother was checking the lines with Captain Winters when he got shot in his helmet. Winters thought he was a goner for sure but apparently went through and the through the helmet. He got a bruise but that was it. I checked him over but he was more shaken up then anything."

"I had no idea."

"He is fine Christine just he might not be the same the last time you saw him. War changes a person."

"It does."

Christine looked at the front again and wondered if she were to be hit. She shuddered at the thought I don't think her brother could live with that. She kept looking when she noticed a flash of light then a giant sound like thunder. She looked at Roe in concern. Shots rang out again then a cry:

"MEDIC!"

Eugene and Christine bounded out of the foxhole and into fire. They found two soldiers done on the ground. Blood decorated the snow with a vibrant red. Roe took care of the first; Perkins while she tended to Miller. They had just arrived about a week ago after there had been some concerns about Easy CO. being shorthanded. Christine saw Malarky behind a fallen log struggling to return fire. She briefly looked ahead and only saw gunfire. I wondered what they were thinking over there. She always wondered if the German soldiers were debating when they could go home or when the war would just end now. She patched up Miller's leg and dragged him to the nearest vehicle to be taken into town to the aid station. Roe wanted to go back into town so she stayed behind at the front. The gunfire ceased as fast as it started and she returned to Roe's foxhole taking inventory of her supplies. She was out of morphine, plasma and bandages. Roe said he would try to get more supplies in town but they were running low themselves. She looked up at the sky and hoped to God that there would be a miracle somehow.

She heard movement and saw that Carwood Lipton was staring down at her in the foxhole. He smiled, "How's about a walk?" She nodded her head gladly and pulled herself out of the foxhole.

The sun poked itself through the trees. It looked like dusk but it was hard to tell anymore.

" So how was the first day?" He smiled intently.

" Honestly it could have been worse."

" Talked to your brother huh?"

" Yeah it wasn't exactly a picnic but he'll get over it."

" He is a good man"

" I know." Christine said as she and Carwood walked further into the Ardennes. Carwood Lipton was man of good morals and a great leader. He knew when to do the right and knew what to say at the right time. Her first day here with the men of Easy Company showed that they were the company everyone was talking about. They were always at the front and always led the rest of the companies to victory. They were and will always be the band of brothers.

As Carwood and Christine were walking back to camp an army jeep flew by them. She briefly saw the profile of Eugene Roe. By the time they got back to camp he was already there. He turned to Christine and gave her a small pack of supplies.

" This is all they had. It is going to be a rough couple of weeks until more supplies come in."

" How are the two?" She said.

" Miller is fine only a small leg wound easily patched, but Perkins didn't make it. Gaping head wound." Eugene said in one full breath.

She saw that Roe had a pair of boots in his hand.

" Where is Toye?" Roe asked.

" Still watching the front."

" Good. I'll be right back."

He left to deliver the boots and saw Dick out of his tent. She made her way over there and hoped that he could answer her question. She wanted to more about what happened to her brother that day on Operation Market Garden.

" Hey Dick."

"Christine what can I do for you?"

" I was wondering about Operation Market Garden and what happened to my brother."

" You actually might want to ask him about that." He said and looked up for her to respond.

She looked down.

Great..

That is all for now! Review Review!!
