Chapter 3

Lee marched into the Pilot rec room with Helo right behind him trying to stop him. Lee saw Gaeta a table playing a card game with Starbuck, Anders, Racetrack, and Hotdog with the president's aide, Tory Foster standing by watching Anders play. Lee raced over to the table and grabbed Gaeta and slammed him on the nearest wall, trying to choke the life out of him. "Who the hell do you think you are?"

By that time, Anders and Helo were trying to pull Lee off of Gaeta, who was gasping for air and trying to form words.

"Whoa, Lee, what has gotten into you! Let him go, man," said Anders.

Lee ignores Anders' plea and keeps concentrating on Gaeta, "I bet you wanted her since Billy."

Kara goes beside Lee and tries to talk to him, "Lee, if you really want an answer, you should unwrap your hands from his neck first in order to him speak."

Lee looks at Kara and then at Felix, who was beginning to turn purple. "Fine," said Lee, in harsh tone, as he released Gaeta.

Gaeta gasped as Kara talked to Lee, "What's wrong, Lee? Its not you to go off like that for no reason."

"I have a lot of reason, Kara," said Lee, " a lot." He then turns his attention to Felix, whose color was returning, "You frak her!"

Everyone looked at one another, confused and stared at Starbuck.

"I did not sleep with Felix," said Kara, annoyed.

"He frak my wife. He frak Dee!" said Lee angrily.

"Lee...it was one time," said Felix, standing up, "it meant nothing to her."

"What about to you?" asked Lee.

"Come on, Lee, you know I have feelings for her just like you have feelings for Kara," said Felix, "I don't know what's the problem. You two, are divorcing."

Before Lee could answer, he heard his father's voice, "Major Adama."

Lee turned to his father, who had a stern look on his face. "Major, I need to see you privately," said the Admiral.

Lee looked at Felix before turning and leaving the rec room with the Admiral.

Meanwhile in sickbay

"I assume you told him," said Ebony, with her daughter, Cordelia, in her arms.

"Yes," said Dee, "it didn't go well, of course."

"Well, you couldn't have lied to him," said Ebony.

"No, I owed him the truth even though he never gave me that," said Dee.

"So what are you going to do?" asked Ebony.

"I have to tell Felix, now," said Dee, as Ebony handed her Cordelia, "Cottle said it's too early for a paternity test and I have to make Lee give me a divorce."

"About that maybe you should give him another try. I mean he seems sincere and willing to work things out," said Ebony.

"He only wants me because I ended it. He wants his dignity back and now he wants us together for the baby," said Dee, "I can't have child be raised in a loveless marriage. How can parents bestow love on a child, properly, if they don't love one another?"

"You don't love him?" said Ebony.

"The problem was never about me not loving him. I loved him with my whole heart. Lee never loved me," said Dee, cuddling Cordelia, "I was too naive to realize it until it was too late."

"You were a great wife, Dee. Its his fault he didn't realize it," said Ebony, "I know you're be a great mother."

In Adama's Quarters

"The most important thing as a superior officer is to remain professional, Major," said Adama.

"I know," said Lee, "but this was personal."

"Was it about Dualla?" said Adama, turning to face his son.

"Yes," said Lee, putting his face in his hands.

"Dee's pregnant, isn't she?" said Adama.

"How did you know?" asked Lee looking at his father.

"She came to me after the two of you separated but she said she was unsure," said

Adama, "she also told me about Felix and her."

"You knew and didn't tell me," said Lee.

"She asked me not to. She said it be better off with you not knowing," said Adama, "I believe she believe you had enough to worry about with Kara and all."

"Still can't believe my wife, who until now, I thought was innocent pure angel slept with Gaeta and got pregnant," said Lee, "karma is a bitch!"

"You don't know that it is his," said Adama, "it could be yours."

"Would I ever know," said Lee, "she won't speak to me. The first time that we've talk to each other in a month ended with her yelling about a divorce and me storming out to kill her lover."

"You both need to calm down before talking to each other about this situation," said Adama, "in the meantime stay away from Felix and if you do come n contact act professional about it."
