A/N: I have posted this on another site; however, I have changed some of the wording. Please review, it helps me to learn. Also I still don't have a beta reader so for now all mistakes are mine until I find one.

Laura stared at Bill's sleeping form. Her head pounded with pain and whole body screamed in the agony that the cancer brought with it. She was trying to grasp at any motivation, any reason to live and carry on with her life. She could still clearly see the scar that divided his chest and how it danced to its own rhythm. Lying there next to him Laura's mind flooded with various moments in time.

Caprica…their first dance.

Kobol…their first kiss.

New Caprica …Bill reading to her.
Earth destroyed…admitting her love.

As these realizations trickled through Laura's aching being, Bill instinctively wrapped his arms around her pulling her to him. In the end, Laura realized that the man holding onto her was her reason, motivation and inspiration to live.
