Amy was making her way to Laura's quarters to get some work done and visit with her mom when she ran into Kara. "Hey lil mama! Hi Asteria."

Kara walked over and grabbed the baby. "Hey Kara where are you heading?"

She nodded in the direction of Laura's quarters, "Same place as you. I told your mom I would stop by before going out on CAP. You're going to the party on Cloud Nine tomorrow right?"

Amy gave her that are you kidding me look "Kara I can't. I have Asteria and besides I think me and mom are just going to spend the evening together."

Kara shook her head, "Oh no your mom's going. Bill asked if she was going, and the press has asked. She has to or it would look weird, and I think Bill is hoping she will be his date."

Amy nodded, "Well they will have fun, but I can't go."

Kara pleaded, "Please I'm sure we could find a very suitable baby sitter."

That made Amy think, "You know what I have one in mind, and I'll see what I can do. I'm not promising though."

Kara smiled as they opened the hatch and saw Laura sitting at her desk. Amy walked over and gave Laura a kiss on the cheek before pouring herself a glass of water and sitting on the couch. "Hey hun, where is that gorgeous granddaughter of mine?"

Kara walked over and placed Asteria in Laura's arms. For Kara the sight of Laura with a baby in her arms was no big thing, but Amy relished in the picture before her. "Oh my you're getting bigger honey."

Amy smiled at her daughter. Asteria had come out with all the Roslin traits. Red hair with sparkling green eyes there was no resemblance to her father what so ever, and Amy was thankful for that. Laura stood from her desk and laid on the blanket sprawled across the floor. Asteria was lying next to her, and Laura had taken the make shift toy Zak had made for her and began to jingle it above.

With limited options Zak had gone down to the hanger deck and gotten some scraps that were not being used. Asteria's toy was a circler ring with string attached holding nuts and bolts. "So Lolly how's your day going?"

If looks could kill Kara would have dropped dead from the look Laura gave her. "Gods I have to deal with the Frakkin press and Quorum over this whole Colonial Day party, and they want to know what happened on Kobol. We haven't said anything yet about Asteria's birth. It's just frustrating."

Asteria started to fuss and Laura smiled to Amy, "I think your daughter is hungry."

Amy rolled her eyes as Laura handed Asteria to her. "You know she's my daughter, I'm with her 24/7, and yet I still can't tell the difference between her cries. It's not fair that you're so good at knowing."

Laura and Kara both laughed, "It's because I have years of experience."

Amy grabbed a smaller blanket to cover herself and got situated to feed Asteria. Laura moved to sit on the couch, "So Lolly about the party. I was wondering if I could maybe borrow a dress or something from you. All I have is my tanks and my uniforms."

Laura giggled as she got up and went to her storage locker where her clothes were. She grabbed one of the few dresses she had and handed it to Kara. Kara held it up to herself. The light blue sparkle dress was low cut and short. "Thanks Laura, I owe you. Anyways I would love to hang out all day, but I have to go fly around the fleet for a bit. We still having dinner tonight?"

Laura nodded, "Yes we are and don't be late. Plus we are going to finalize the last of the wedding plans tonight."

Kara nodded and waved at Amy, "I'll see you tonight."

Kara left and Amy looked at her mom. "So about this party, I'm thinking of going what do you think?"

Laura turned so that she was looking right at Amy. "I think it's a good idea. It would do you some good to get out a bit."

Amy smiled, "Good because I'm going to see if I can get a sitter for Asteria."

Laura nodded, "Do you have anyone in mind?"

Amy got a little nervous, "Yeah I'm thinking of asking Sharon."

Silence hung in the air for a moment before Laura started to shake her head. "Absolutely not Amy. I will not allow a cylon to watch my granddaughter."

Amy rolled her eyes. "It's my decision. Asteria is my daughter and I don't have to ask permission to leave her with whomever I see fit. Besides Helo will be there the entire time. He asked me if I was okay with him coming over during the party. On top of that there will also be two marine guards outside. She will be perfectly safe, and Sharon is with her during the day in case you forgot."

Laura glared at Amy but softened when Amy shifted Asteria a bit, and she was reminded of who they were talking about. "I guess it would be good practice for the two of them. I want you to make it clear to Bill though that it was your idea, and your choice."

Amy nodded and smiled. "Great now that that is settled I can help with the Media if you want. Why don't we go to Colonial one and let them know I had Asteria."

Laura thought it over, "I don't know baby. I mean it's a great idea in theory but then they will want pictures, and that's just too dangerous. I already have to worry everyday about wither you, Kara, Billy, Zak, or Bill will get hurt because of someone trying to get to me. I can't risk Asteria too, I just can't."

Laura's eyes had started to water, "Mom nothing like that is going to happen. She is going to be the most protected child in the fleet, and we can restrict the press when it comes to her. We can tell them no pictures, we can tell them that they are not allowed to print anything about her. Mom we don't even have to take her there, but we do have to tell them something."

Laura nodded. They were about to discuss the matter further when Bill entered. When he noticed that Amy was feeding Asteria he quickly turned to face the wall, "Sorry Amy I didn't know that you were here."

Amy giggled and removed Asteria. She readjusted her top, and then readjusted Asteria to burp her. "It's okay Bill. We're all done, you can turn around now."

Amy smiled at Laura who was trying to fight back a fit of giggles. Bill turned around, "How is that beautiful little one?"

Amy smiled, "She's good. Hasn't let her mom get much sleep lately but she's good."

Bill smiled and walked over. He picked up Asteria along with the burp towel and began to gently burp her. "Hey precious. So Laura the press has begun to start to call me since you refuse to speak to them. When are you going to go talk to them?"

Laura shrugged her shoulders, "Mom and I are actually going over there now. I just needed to feed Asteria first, and then I just have to let Sharon know I'm going to be gone for a while."

Bill nodded, "You want me to watch Asteria while you two are gone."

Amy shook her head, "No were taking her with us, and before you say anything we are taking extra security. Plus there will be no pictures allowed."

Bill was going to argue but Laura shook her head. Amy stood up and picked up the comm.… "Hey Sharon I just wanted to let you know that I'm going to Colonial One with my mom for a bit…Okay great and Helo knows he is more than welcome to stay… Oh speaking of Helo I was wondering if the two of you would be interested in babysitting Asteria for me during the party tomorrow so I could get out for a bit…. Are you sure… Thank you so much….Okay I'll see you in a bit… bye."

Bill decided to wait to discuss having the cylon watch Asteria until later on. "Okay well are you all set to head over there?"

Laura stood up and walked over to her storage locker, "Actually I think we are finally going to get to use this."

Laura held up a large bag made up of what Amy recognized as some of her old baby clothes. "Mom what is that?"

Laura smiled, "Well I had brought a bunch of your old baby clothes with me, because Bill had told me about a deck hand named Cally who was really good with sewing. I had arranged to have her make this for you, and then when the attacks happened I forgot about it for a while, until Asteria got here. She just finished it yesterday, oh and I also kept a few of the outfits for Asteria to actually wear."

Amy walked over and hugged her mother, "Thank you mom. This is amazing."

Amy grabbed the bag and readjust Asteria, then took off with her mother for Colonial One.
