She couldn't believe her ears, she knew what the Admiral meant when he said "you can use one
of my beds" but then she watched the look on both of their faces and she knew the rumors were true.
Admiral Adama loved her mother; she followed him out to where a Raptor was waiting for him.

"Admiral" Celia Roslin, Celia was Laura's fifteen year old daughter.

"Celia" Adama said.

"Can I ask you something in private?"Celia asked.

"Sure" Adama said walking far enough so the marines that were standing next to the raptor would not here.

"You love my mother don't you" Celia asked.

"Yes, of course we are good friends" Adama replied.

"That's not what I mean; not good friend love, love like a man loves a woman kind of love" Celia said "I see
it when you look at her, that smile you give. Admit it Admiral you love my mother and now what I want know is
why won't you tell her how you feel?"

"Celia…me and your mother…can't" Adama said, he wasn't sure how to explain it her.

"Can't what? Be happy. Is that some kind of rule, the Admiral and the President are not allowed happiness
because they are the leaders? If you love her Admiral tell her, she's not going to wait forever" Celia smiled.

Admiral Adama thought for a moment, the girl was right he was in love with Laura Roslin but there are
so many factors that would keep them apart. For one she's the President of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol.

"I'll be right back" Adama said and head right back up the stairs to where Roslin was busy talking to Tory.

"Bill" Laura smiled.

"Laura….I….um….I love you Laura Roslin, I love you so much and I want to be with you forever…I" Adama said.

"Will you just kiss me already?" Laura smiled. Adama kissed her passionately, Tory's jaw nearly dropped to the f
loor; she knew this wouldn't go well with the rest of the fleet.

"Um…Madame President" Tory said "You and him can't" Tory was about to continue
protesting when Celia walked up.

"Tory" Celia said smiling. "Shut up"
