Summary: Kara struggles after New Caprica. Just right when she thinks Leoben is out of her life for good, he comes right back and takes her.

As Kara Thrace stabbed him for the last time on New Caprica, the euphoria of her kiss vanished. This setback was unlike any he had experienced until this point. For the first time he felt her passion, he heard the words he longed to hear for decades before her birth.

Planning and brainwashing were involved in getting to hear the words in the basement where she was held captive for four months. And before he hit the floor, he glanced in her eyes. "You think you've won something here, but I see your destiny as clear as you see pathways in the daylight. You haven't seen the last of me Kara Thrace."

And with that he fell to the floor in agony, waking up on the Resurrection ship once again. Brother Cavil came to greet him with a smart remark. "Why do you bother with the human, because God was something that justified their self-awareness?"

He looked at Brother Cavil for a moment, "If you think I see destinies only of Kara Thrace, you may think again." He arose naked from the slimy bath of the download room to begin the process of finding Galactica before he would lose Kara forever.

Caprica came into his view. "I'm glad to see you back. How did it go with Kara?"

Leoben smiled. "The child we kidnapped did her job. She made Kara something that we have never seen before."

"And what was that?"

"Vulnerable, defenseless and weak."

"Did she believe that Kacey was her daughter?" Caprica asked as she handed Leoben some clothes to put on.

"She did and when she finds out the truth. Her nightmares will come back to haunt her. No one will understand what she is going through. And the only one that will understand her is me. I'm going back to the fleet to get her."

"Don't you think that that is unwise now? The whole fleet knows what you look like."

"I have a plan to get her back."

Hours earlier while on New Caprica...

Kara watched as Leoben died on the floor. She dropped the knife she had just stabbed him with and it hit the floor. She still couldn't believe what she had just done and said to him.

She turned her attention to Kacey and picked her up.

"Daddy?" Kacey pointed down to the dead body of Leoben.

"Let's go Kace, Daddy is gone and he's not coming with us."

Running up the stairs, Anders stormed into the doorway. "Kara! My Gods don't you ever leave me alone again." He looked down at the little girl in her arms. "Who's this?"

"I'll explain later, lets go!" She placed a hand over Kacey's head and ran to one of the last Raptors on New Caprica.

Once on Galactica, Kara stepped out of the Raptor with Kacey still in her arms. Chief was the first person to meet Kara on Galactica.

"Captain?"

Kara turned around as she played with Kacey. The little girl began to giggle. "Yeah?"

"I thought you were dead?" He asked.

"No one can kill me that easily Chief. I'm Starbuck after all."

"Who's this?" The Chief asked as he pointed to the little girl.

"This? This is….." Kara was about to tell him that she was her daughter, when a woman came up.

"Kacey? My baby girl." The woman reached out her arms to Kacey and took her away from Kara. "Thank you for saving her from the Cylons. I thought she was dead after all those months, but you saved her and brought her back to me." The woman and Kacey both vanished in the crowd of refugees.

Kara's heart felt like someone had just ripped it out of her and stomped on it. She held her head high because she was in the hanger deck, but she wanted to curl up in her bunk and cry.

Anders came up behind Kara and placed his arms around her. Bringing her in tight for comfort, he placed his chin on her soft long blond hair. "I missed you."

Kara freaked out. "Don't you frakking touch me!" Grabbing Sam's arms, she forced her way out of them and ran out of the hanger deck.

"Damn you Leoben! I will make sure that you don't download again!" She thought to herself.

Kara played Leoben's and her last conversation over and over again in her head once she was back in the Senior officer's bunk room and in her rack.

"Say them. Say the words Kara."

"What words?"

"You know what I want. I want to hear you say them, and I want the rest of it, just like I told you."

"Fine." Kara growled. "You win. I love you."

Leoben leaned in closer, a little to close. "Say it again."

"I love you." She said breathless.

"Now the rest."

Kara parted her lips and placed him on Leoben's. They continued to kiss with fire and passion.

Kara broke off and looked up into Leoben's aqua green eyes "Was that everything you thought it would be?"

"That and more, I'll never forget this moment."

"Neither will I."

Kara threw her pillow in the corner of her bunk. "No I never loved you. It was all a lie. If we do meet again I can't say that you will hear those three little words again." She placed her head on her knees, pondering on what had just happened. She held back the tears that she wanted to let out. Anders walked into the bunk room and pulled her back into reality.

"Kara?" Anders pulled Kara into him and embraced her just as she had embraced Leoben earlier.

"Sam I... I…"

"Shh... Kara everything is going to be okay. I'm here now. I love you." He said stroking her hair.

Sam said it. Said that he loved her and she loved him back. There was one thing here that was different from Leoben. Anders was giving her true love.

"I love you too," she looked into Anders' eyes. She missed those caring eyes so much. They curled up on the bunk in each other's arms, talked about what had happened with Kacey and what went on during the past four months. She didn't do a lot of the talking, mainly because she was still in shock.

Kara fell into a deep sleep later that night with Anders spooning her, holding her tight against his body. But she woke up several hours later, sitting straight up in their bed. She was having trouble breathing and was sweating out of control. One of her worst nightmares on New Caprica had come back to her. There was still a baby's cry and scream ringing in her ears.

Leoben could feel it, her panic and pain. He smiled as the Colonial fleet came into view. "So it begins."
