Kara Adama sat cross-legged on the living room floor sorting through a large pile of photos that lay scattered around her. She was busy putting them into two piles, one to go into the latest Adama family album and the other to be put into boxes to be occasionally taken out but more or less be forgotten.
She and Lee always had a lot of photos lying around. Perhaps they were making up for years of being without cameras or maybe they had always been shutterbugs but had never known it. But one thing was for sure. Ever since the day Billy had been born, the number of photos they took had literally increased tenfold, and there were days when Kara wondered if it was possible to be killed by an avalanche of photo paper.
The sorting was quickly going along as Kara flipped one photo after another onto one of the two piles, occasionally pausing to take closer look.
Lee and Billy on the floor with Lee lying on his side, facing the camera with one hand lightly resting on Billy's little tummy: Album.
Kara and Billy laughing as she amused him with a stuffed blue parrot: Album.
The parrot as a blue blur being thrown at the camera after Lee took the picture even though she told him to put the camera away: Box-although Lee was probably going to sneak it into the album.
Bill and Laura jerking back in surprise after the Old Man's namesake suddenly woke up screaming: Album-and Kara made a mental note to send a copy over to the other Adamas.
A blurry picture of what looked to be three feet: Box.
And…hello…
Billy smiling at the camera: She was going to frame this one. In fact, she was sure that they had a frame somewhere…
Kara put the photo aside carefully and got up to find the frame.
But first, it was to the nursery to check on Billy. He was probably going to be up from his nap soon.
A/N: I know. I know. Lousy start. But I promise it'll get better. So please don't hurt me.
