Summary: Exodus comes much later to New Caprica. This picks up right after Kacey falls down the stairs.
Authors Note: The usual BS - I don't own BSG nor will I ever own BSG (sadly). All chapters are in Kara POV unless otherwise noted.
Chapter 1
As Kacey opens her eyes I instinctively reach back to take it's hand. I forgot for one split second that Leoben is keeping me captive, all I care about is my daughter. Our daughter? No she is mine, that thing can't have children.
As he starts rubbing his thumb against my hand I realize what is happening and I snatch it away immediately.
"Stop" I whispered not wanting to upset Kacey.
"You took my hand Kara" Leoben said questioningly.
"I know, I didn't mean it."
"It's okay Kara, one day you will you hold me and mean it. I've seen it."
"Please just go so I can be with my daughter."
I watch as Leoben goes to the kitchen without a fight and start to make dinner.
"Hi Kacey, honey, I'm so glad you are awake. You don't know how much you worried me." I say as I run my hand through her soft blonde hair. "Mommy won't let anything else happen to you."
"Who are you?" Kacey asks me with her voice barely above a whisper.
"I'm your mother honey. We've been apart for a few years but not anymore"
"Kara" Leoben calls from the kitchen "dinner is ready."
"Come on Kacey, it's time for dinner." For the first time that I can remember being held in this place I'm looking forward to dinner. The first dinner with my daughter.
"Thank you Leoben," I say with almost full sincerity.
We eat in silence until I remember that there is only one bedroom and three of us.
"Where is Kacey going to sleep?" I ask him. " I sleep on the couch and you have the bed."
"The bed is always open for you Kara, it was made for us to share. But, if you aren't going to share our bed Kacey can."
"No, my daughter is not going to be sleeping next to you every night. That is not an option!"
I turn to Kacey and luckily she is engrossed with dinner and not listening to us argue.
"Kara, she is OUR daughter, there are two options here: either you, Kacey, and I share the bed, or you take the couch and Kacey and I will share the bed."
"Fine we will all share the bed, don't think this means anything. She is hurt and I will not leave her alone with you." I normally would've killed him and just waited for him to come back, by then I could've been asleep. With Kacey in the room I can no longer kill Leoben, one of the things I actually looked forward to in this damn dollhouse.
Leoben doesn't say anything, he just sits there eating with a smug smile on his face. He finally got something he always wanted and there was nothing I can do about it.
A/N: Sorry for all the dialogue! There should be less of it in the upcoming chapters. Give me your feedback it's appreciated!
