Title: This Frakked Up World Of Ours
Disclaimer: don't own, so don't sue, cheers.
Rating: PG-13 for use of bad language, if you can call 'frakked' bad language
Pairing: Helo/Cally
Summary: season 4. This is my own take on season 4; any similarities to season 4 when it starts are purely coincidence.
When she found out her husband was a cylon along with the other 3 of the final 5, Cally turned to someone who knew how that felt, and their friendship was formed. Helo helped Cally out in her time of need, and somewhere along the way both of their feelings changed for each other from just friendship into something more intimate.
Cally is sitting in the bunk still in shock from what the Admiral had told her about her husband as well as Col.Tigh, Anders, and Tory, that they where 4 of the final 5 Cylons.
She hadn't been alone in this meeting, Captain Agathon or Helo as she called him, President Roslin, Kara, and Apollo where all also there, at first she hadn't known why she was there, but soon it all became clear to her along with Starbuck, Helo and Apollo.
She had taken it hard, really hard, and had walked out just minutes after adama had told them.
Now here she was just 5 minutes later sitting on her bunk in complete shock, as well as betrayal and hurt.
"Sir one of us should go after her?" Kara had said still trying to get used to the idea her now ex husband is a cylon.
"Ill go" Helo said shocking them all, yet none of them where that shocked at all, he did after all know how it felt to find out the person you loved most in the world was a cylon.
It had been 6 months since Sharon had turned her back on her husband and the fleet she had claimed to once love so much, but it had all been a sick game by the cylons.
Now with the 4 new models having been identified it had been the cylons plan all along to keep Sharon Valerii within the fleet, until the model 2 aka Galen Tyrol's cylon side kicked in.
Karl walked out of Admiral Adama's quarters and walked down to the crew quarters to where Cally Henderson lived with her 14 month old son Nicholas.
He knocked on the bunk door then walked in; Cally was sat on her bunk head in her hands tears falling rapidly down her cheeks.
She looked up when the door opened and wasn't surprised it was Helo she saw.
"Why Helo, why did he do this to me, how didn't I know? What about Nick?" Cally said all at once then the tears came hard and fast and Helo wrapped her in his arms trying to comfort his friend.
"Shhhh it's going to be okay Cal, I promise you… I don't know why he did it, and trust me its impossible to know but you will get through this, with help it will be okay, and as for Nicky, he'll be okay, he has a wonderful mommy, and loads of aunts and uncles to show him right from wrong and how this crazy frakked up world is that he will be okay"
"Thanks Karl, I am glad it was you who came after me"
"I wouldn't have it any other way, plus no one in that room really understands like I do, yes they've all been betrayed by someone close to them, but none of them have a child with that person, or where as close as we where to them, even Starbuck, as she always had the thing with Apollo to stop her really falling for Anders, so even she doesn't really understand it"
"Yeah" Cally said.
"Come on you need to eat, so lets go get Nicky then go to the mess" Helo said
"Okay, and thanks again Helo" she said kissing him on the cheek.
