Laura sat down in her office and buried her head into her hands. The tears started to flown down her cheeks. She knew that Adar was right in one thing, the fact that she became a single mother and the father won't be even her boyfriend, will be a scandal. Oh gods I can't do that, all by myself. Things would be much easier if the press didn't watch all cabinet's members' movement. What will happen if I lose my job? How will I raise a baby? He won't help me. I'm all by myself, but in will be good. Have to be. She whipped tears away and smiling she put palm on her abdomen. I'm going to be a mother and nothing else is more important right now. I'm going to be a mother! We can do that, right baby? You will be love. Even if your father doesn't want you, I already love you with all my heart, sweetheart. She spend some time talking to her unborn miracle and then she took a pen in her hand and started the paperwork before her meeting with headmaster of Sagittarians' schools.

Laura was looking through her notes when Billy announced her guest. She smiled and stood up when door started to open, the middle-age man in suit came into the room. He nodded into her direction and handshake with Laura. They sat down and started going through the meeting. Roslin looked at him and couldn't stop imagine Commander William Adama. They had got the same intellect and manners. She gasped heavy remembering their last meeting. She wasn't very pleasant to him and he wanted only to help her. Maybe if I call him and thank it would be better? He didn't deserve to be treating like I did to him. He's a really good guy and handsome. What's more he is not Richard and he doesn't have bad intentions.

"Madam Secretary. Madam Secretary!" It was some times later when Laura heard her title and put a shy smile on her face, knowing that she had been catch daydreaming.

"Yes?"

"Do you want to add something to our meeting, Madam Secretary?"

"No, thank you. That would be all." She answered standing up. "Thank you very much for your time and I'm sure that our students will be having a better chance to honesty education." She handshake his hand and after he walked away, she called her aide.

Billy came to her office few minutes later with coffee in one hand and new documents in second. She gasped. He put the coffee on her desk.

"The budget of Tauronise and Areonise's schools, and the coffee." He took the documents which she gave him before put the new one on the stack next to her laptop. Then she looked at the coffee and quickly stood up running to the bathroom. Billy run after her. He stopped in front of bathroom's door and knocked after he heard the flush of water. "Madam Secretary is everything all right? Madam Secretary?" the door opened and Laura faced her worried aide.

"Yes Billy. It's just morning sickness." She shyly smiled and low her eyes to the floor.

"You… you're pregnant, Madam Secretary?" she nodded and he smiled to her pulling her into a hug. When they pulled away from her, he smiled again and congratulated her.

"Thank you. Billy there is a great need to the secrecy. I don't want to press find out about my pregnancy, especially when the father isn't in picture."

"Oh. I'm sorry for that and don't worry the secret is safe with me."

"Don't be, this is life and it isn't easy." Billy smiled than he followed her to the office. When they walked to the room she sat down on armchair and looked at her coffee. Bill hummed and took the coffee in front of her.

"I will make you a tea, Madam Secretary."

"Thank you Billy, I appreciate it!" she looked through the documents he gave her and raised her eyebrow. "I'm ending at 3 o'clock today?"

"Yes. The President canceled his meeting."

"Oh." She hummed.

It's better that way. No more quick frak in his office. This affair is finished! And I am free.

She looked at the clock; she still had fifteen minutes to her next and the last meeting today. "Good." Laura took a pen and wrote down a phone number, then she gave it to Billy. The boy looked down at the piece of paper. "Could you please call this number and put me through?"

"Of course, Madam Secretary." He nodded with a smile and walked out the office.

Roslin run her fingers through her hair waiting for the open line. She was wondering what to say. She just couldn't say: sorry for my behavior. It just wasn't right. Maybe she should ask him out. Well she was attracted to him. He was a really nice guy, and it would be a lie if she told someone she didn't like him. She like him very much and wanted to know him better. Gods. She gasped. She was grow up woman and she was behaving like a lovesick teenage girl with a crash on the most popular boy in the school. Billy put her through and now she was waiting with the phone near her ear with butterflies in her stomach. It's unbelievable. I'm shaking. She took a deep breath and looked outside the window. The sun was shining on the beautiful blue sky. It's so beautiful that I can go for a walk. Maybe even go outside the city with William, if he would like to. Oh it could be so good; holding hands, smiling, talking about everything. I shut up on him two years ago and who knows how it would be if we tried than. He's really great guy and I like him. Her daydreaming had been ended by husky voice in the phone.

"Hello?" Laura swallowed.

"Hi, this is Laura Roslin."

"Oh hi. How are you?" she could bet that she heard a joy in his voice. Laura smirked.

"Good. Thank you. And how are you William?"

"Call me Bill and it's good." He went quiet so she. Bill took a deep breath and after few seconds of quiet, he asked. "Is everything ok?"

"Yes, yes. Thank you. I'm calling… I just wanted to thank you and say sorry. I wasn't nice to you and you only wanted to help me. Maybe you would like to go to a coffee or tea with me today?" she bit her nails waiting for his answer. It was risk, he could say no. And deep down inside she didn't want him to do it.

"I would love to, Laura." She smiled and opened her agenda.

"Do you have time at 3 o'clock? We can meet at the coffee shop next to the 'O'Marley's bookstore'."

"Ok I know where it is." He smiled to the phone. "So you working now?

"Excuse me?"

"You want to meet me in coffee shop which is near the governmental building, so you must be working now." He explained.

"Yes. Yes, I am." She found herself grinning. They were talking few minutes, and she already couldn't wait to see him. It was something about his voice, which melt her like a snow.

"Ok, so what time do you finish your work?"

"I have a last meeting at 2 pm so I will be waiting for you in the coffee shop at 3 pm."

"Oh no. I will be waiting for you in front of the governmental building. And we can go for a walk before we will go to the coffee. So it's a date?"

"Yeah, it's a date." She grinned while closing her agenda. "We'll see later. Have a nice day. Bye Bill and thank you."

"You too Laura. Thank you for a call." Laura hang up the phone gasping with a big grin on her beautiful face. She took a cup of tea which Billy placed on her desk few minutes earlier and she made a small gulp. Then she put the cup on the desk and took a small mirror from the purse. She looked at her mirror reflection and checked her makeup. I have a date! She smiled.


Bill hang up the phone grinning like a fool and standing in front of Ellen. She rolled her eyes watching his expression.

"So she called, right?" Bill didn't answer so she only laughed. "Saul, get your lazy ass here. Laura called!"

"What do you want from me Ellen?" Grumpy Saul walked into the room with a glass of his favorite drink and sat down on the couch giving his wife angry looks.

"Laura called!" she happily said sitting down beside her husband.

"For frak sakes stop it!" Saul hissed drinking brown liquid. "She called, he's happy. It's his business, so leave the Old Man alone. Don't you have something better to do, woman?"

"Fine." She muttered and left the room, leaving men alone.
