"So you won't tell me, your husband, but you'll tell my father!" Lee finally broke the extended silence with an accusation.

"I don't have to explain myself to you." Kara replied calmly. The funny thing about seeing the future means knowing which fights will be the rough ones, and how long they will take to blow over. This one…was going to be an interesting one…

"Kara had her reasons." Adama intervened, "And you, would try to change the future. I want to myself and I intend to."

"Yes I would." Lee responded, "If there is something awful about Earth, we'll settle elsewhere or find a way around it."

"No." Kara let her own opinion be known, "Earth is necessary."

"Why?" Both Adamas answered her.

"Admiral, I'll tell you more later." Kara paused in her response, "Lee, you'll see for yourself." And with that Kara walked out of the hatch.

Lee remained dumbstruck for a few moments, locked in to a staring contest with his father before chasing Kara back to their quarters. He postponed the fight until the hatch was locked.

"Tell me." Lee demanded, "It's my future too, Kara, and I deserve to know."

"Know what?" Kara shot back at him, irritation and anticipation the two prevalent emotions.

"Earth." Lee supplied, his voice growing coarser by the minute.

"No." Kara stepped closer, adrenaline rushed through her veins, basic instincts taking over.

"What is so awful about Earth?"

"Nothing. Everything." Kara's nonchalant answer heightened his aggression.

"So it's the same?"

"What do you mean?"

"You won't tell me anything. You shut me out!"

"So? Its called privacy!" Kara shouted back, half angry, half amused.

"Its called marriage! It's called sharing your life with someone not shutting them out whenever you feel threatened!"

"Its called having visions, knowing what will happen. I've shared so much with you already? What does one thing matter?" Kara threw back just as vehemently, volume raised to ensure that anyone listening got a good show. She knew some of the nuggets liked to listen, she'd seen how fast they shut up when she walked into the room.

"You just can't let me get that close to you, can you Kara? It's the baby isn't it? What do you know that's so awful you can't tell me…what do you do Kara?" Lee let his voice trail off, both angry and trying to get a rise out of Kara, so maybe she'd slip up and tell him something.

Kara punched first, thought later, and that is the way she responded, her fist making a clean connection with Lee's cheekbone. Lee's hands grabbed her arms after a brief struggle, preventing her from throwing another punch, pinning them behind her back. Holding her close, more restraining than romantic. She struggled in his grasp, stomping down hard on one of his feet. He couldn't let her hit him, because he couldn't her hit back. And he wouldn't, not with their child possibly hanging in the balance.

"Tell me." He demanded once again, Kara's flushed face inches from his face.

"I will not harm our child." Kara made out between gritted teeth, "This isn't about her." She attempted to wretch herself from his grasp.

Kara struggled for a moment, realizing that this fight was really turning Lee on. Too easy, she thought as she stopped struggling and started kissing him roughly. Enough of a distraction to end this fight easily. Lee's hold on her body tightened for a moment, then relaxed, freeing her arms to wrap around him as he responded to her kissing, the fight temporarily forgotten.

Some time later, the fight not quite forgotten, but the frak or fight instinct fully satisfied. Kara looked at Lee and laughed, "You know, we really have to start trying to keep our fights verbal, for the baby."

"And miss out on this?"

"Stressful day?" Kara teased contentedly, "I think it was…we're going to have bruises you know, should keep that lovely pilot gossip running."

"Are you going to tell me?"

"A little."

"And?"

"Earth will take a lot of adjustments," Kara phrased her statements very carefully and mildly, "It will be difficult, but we'll manage."

"And the baby?"
"Fine." Kara responded after all she said about Earth, Lee was fixated on their child, "Especially considering who her parents are."

"You know, I think I'll ask Cottle what the baby is, so we can call it what it is."

"It's a girl."

"Can't prove it."

"I've seen it."

"Believing this makes no sense."

"But you do, and that is what scares you. That's the real reason; you want to know more." Kara replied, breaking away from Lee to toss the clothes on the floor onto a chair, and Lee picked them up on his way to put away his own.

"I'm an atheist."

"Not anymore…" Kara climbed back onto the bed, relaxing on her side.

"Kara this is serious, I'm sure we can fix it." Lee climbed on the bed beside her, cuddling up close to her, changing his strategy.

"It doesn't need to be fixed? How can I change things I've already seen? What if I mess up? What if things are worse?"

"Well, if you told me, we could decide whether or not it's worth the risk, together, you don't have to do this alone."

"There are more people involved than just you and me here, we're talking about the fate of our race, our descendants."

"They don't exist yet."

"They do for me."

"It's the future Kara, you can see it; you can change it."

"But what if I'm not supposed to? What if I change something I don't want to?"

"I don't know, why don't you tell me? We can figure it out together." Lee's hand ran lovingly over her bare shoulder and then down her back. "Don't keep me in the dark." He leaned in to kiss her tenderly, this was already working better than before; Kara relaxed and then instantly tensed.

"This isn't going to work Lee."

"I'm not going to stop asking." He mumbled against the skin on her shoulder, "You'll have to tell me eventually."

"Fine, if you leave me alone about this for two weeks-"

"Not going to happen." Lee told her instantly, "This is important."

"- I'll let you name the baby," Kara finished dramatically, this was her bargaining chip, give her just enough time and then it would be okay. "Pretty good deal huh?"

"Whatever I like?" Lee looked up in surprise.

"I keep veto power, I can make suggestions and I pick the middle name." Kara knew she wouldn't need it, she already knew the name he'd choose, and it was perfect.

"Done." Lee was too curious to turn this down; he wondered if Kara was joking, "You're joking right?"

"No, better get started on those name lists…more paperwork." Kara teased.

"It's too early for that."

"If you say so." Kara knew the truth, this fight was far from over; this reprieve was the best she could hope for and hope that it would be long enough.
