As requested, a few scenes from 2.04 involving jealous Danny/Kara, and some Burk/Bivas. Sorry if this wasn't what you were looking for, Guest, I'm not great with typical fluff, but I tried.

Obviously I don't own anything (Do I really have to say this every time? It feels silly.)

This scene is supposed to be after everything that happened in episode, but if there are any discrepancies, I apologize, I'm doing this from memory.

It was late, but Ravit Bivas couldn't sleep. With the stress of the mission aboard the hospital boat, and her lack of adjustment to her new surroundings, she knew sleep would elude her for a while longer. So she headed down to the gym to do something useful with her insomnia. Training was always a way Bivas would try to clear her head. If something went wrong on a mission, or some asshole mouthed off to her, or any one of the other million things that tended to piss her off happened, she would work it out by pounding her fists into a punching bag (or the occasional unlucky sparring partner) until her anger dissipated. It was who she was, and it was how she dealt with almost every emotion under the sun. But this was different; try as she might, she couldn't pound the answers she needed out of her bag.

Bivas could not for the life of her figure out what she had done to Lieutenant Foster, but she was positive it was something horribly offensive, based on their encounter earlier that day.

Miller had shown her where her quarters were earlier after the meeting, but she seemed to have taken a wrong turn from the Officer's Mess, and was now not even entirely sure what part of the ship she was in. Exasperated and tired, she reluctantly sought directions from any available crew members.

"Excuse me," Bivas said as she passed a woman in the p-way. The woman was not familiar to her, but, judging from the way her face fell when she looked up from her report, Bivas was somehow familiar to this woman. Glancing down at her name tagand rank (sidebar: does anyone know where that would actually be on the uniform, or how one could tell by looking?), Bivas continued despite the icy reception she was receiving. "Lieutenant Foster, I was wondering if you could tell how to get to my bunk, I'm afraid I'm a little lost."

With a curt nod and a tight smile, she gave Bivas prompt directions to the other side of the ship, and then, without another word, turned on her heel and left. Bivas was left staring after Foster in a state of shock, before shaking her head and continuing on her trek through the ship.

"You know, you punch that thing any harder, we're gonna have to slap a few patches on it." Bivas jumped as Burk quietly laughed behind her, approaching the other side of the bag and supporting it for her. After giving the man a measured look, she resumed her work out, and the pair fell into a silent rhythm . Burk watched her face as she punched and kinked the bag; she was obviously working out some kind of frustration, but he knew it was probably safer to ask her about it after it was all out of her system.

Half an hour later, they both sat on a bench, panting and sweating from their individual exertions. Giving her a side glance as he wiped the sweat off his face, Burk decided now was the time to try having a conversation. "So," he started off, hoping he didn't sound too forced, "Any particular reason why you were kicking the crap out of our bean bag at eleven o'clock at night?"

"Am I not allowed to get a workout in?" Bivas replied sharply. Sighing, Burk threw down his towel and started walking back to his bunk, defeated. Bivas watched him turn away and closed her eyes in frustration. He can give me answers, she thought. "Lieutenant Foster," she blurted out, catching Burk's attention.

"What about her?" Burk replied slowly, not wanting to scare off any chance of a conversation.

Running a hand over her face, she looked at him. "I think I may have done something to offend her, but I can't figure out what it is that i may or may not have done," she sighed. Burk's expression held only questions, so she told him what happened earlier in the p-way.

Bivas told him her story, a wave of understanding came over Burk, and he chuckled quietly. Bivas, taking this to be him mocking her, stood up with a huff and began to walk out. "Glad I could amuse you," she muttered as she passed by him.

Burk quickly stopped laughing, and grabbed her arm gently before she could leave, spinning her slightly back towards him. "No, no, no, you don't understand," he said quickly, "she's pregnant."

Bivas stopped in her tracks, looking at Burk in disbelief. "What?"

"Come on," he said, lightly pulling her back to the bench. They sat down, and he filled her in on Danny and Kara's indiscretion, the almost botched mission, how they'd been outed when Danny contracted Dengue fever, and how they had broken things off and accepted their punishment afterwards. "Until the vaccine tests, which Kara volunteered for, and Dr. Scott discovered that she was pregnant."

Bivas sat, staring at Burk dumbfounded. "So… she wasn't mad, she was just… hormonal?" she asked incredulously.

Burk nodded, "But it's not just that. I'm pretty sure she's not exactly one hundred percent back after what happened in Baltimore." It was Bivas' turn to send questioning looks, prompting Burk to continue. "Some local insurgents got control of our ship, and tried to get their hands on the cure. When they couldn't find it, they decided to try to make it using the stem cells from Kara's baby." Bivas' eyes widened in horror as Burk recounted the details of Kara's kidnapping and rescue; she couldn't imagine the terror that Kara must have felt. "I don't know, I guess she's just worked up right now, and she's holding onto to Danny a little tighter than normal, and maybe she views you as a… threat or something." he finished.

Bivas raised an eyebrow, "A threat?", she asked skeptically.

Burk smiled slightly, "Well, you're not exactly hard on the eyes, Bivas." They shared a look, and Bivas could feel her breath catch lightly. Burk broke eye contact and cleared his throat. "Look, Lieutenant Foster is, despite what I've just told you, a professional. I'm sure she already regrets what she did, and will find some way to apologize in the next few days." With that, he stood up to leave, "Good night, Bivas," he said quietly.

Bivas watched him walk toward the door, and, before she knew it, stood up and called after him. "Burk!" He turned around questioningly, and she continued before she lost her nerve, "My name is Ravit," extending her hand out towards him

Burk's mouth slowly widened into a grin, "Carlton," he replied. He shook her hand, and then held it for a moment, leaning forward and whispering "Goodnight Ravit." He then turned and walked out into the p-way back to his bunk, but with a new bounce in his step.

Ravit listened to his steps receding in the hallway, and she allowed herself a small smile. "Goodnight Carlton."

I'm kind of feeling a second chapter for this. Probably shouldn't post this late, cause then I'll wake up tomorrow morning and think it's crap, but oh well. I'll throw it out there.

As always, reviews and ideas are welcome.
