Love and War
Chapter 21: Relief and News
Hangar Deck Galactica
As soon as Kara and Lee opened there canopy's all they could see were rifles pointed in their faces.
"Put your hands on your head. PUT YOU HANDS ON YOUR HEAD NOW!" one of the marines shouted at them, naturally they complied. "Corporal get those cuffs on them and take them down them down to the brig."
"Is this really necessary?" Kara said, not wanting to be locked up for who knows how long.
"I said put your FRAKING HANDS ON YOUR HEAD AND SHUT THE FRAK UP!"

"Sir, Captain Adama and Lt. Thrace have been taken down to the brig," Dualla said. "The vipers have been detected by the Cylons and they have launch raiders."
"What is the status on the raptors?" Adama replied.
"As far as we can tell they haven't detected them."

2 hours later (after the Cylon threat had been neutralized) in the Brig
"Commander," Kara said looking up, "you have no idea how happy I am to see you. Tell them to let us out of here."
"You know I can't do that Lt.," Adama replied. "Both of you have been prisoners of the cylons. Do you really expect us to believe that this isn't a trap?"
"Then how long should be expect to be here for?" Lee said speaking up for the first time.
"Until we can confirm that you really are who you say you are."
"And how are you going to do that?" Kara said slightly annoyed.
"Cottle will run some tests. Then we'll decide from there what to do with the both of you" Adama said then turned around and left.
"So," Kara said with a sigh, "how long do you think we are going to be stuck here for?"
"I don't know. I'm so happy to be home I could spend the rest of my life here and not care," Lee replied.
"I don't know about that, spending the rest of my life here… sounds kind of boring… no booze or triad."
"I still don't understand why they let us out, it just doesn't add up. I mean why would they let us out after being prisoners for so long."
"Lee, it doesn't matter, we're out of there. Just be happy we're out."
"I can't, something just doesn't add up," Lee said leaning up against the bars of his cell. "Something isn't right, can't you feel it?"
"Yeah, but I mean we were gone for so long, of course it doesn't feel right. Can't you just be happy that were back?"
The door opened and Cottle stepped in holding his medical bag full of supplies.
"Here's two faces that I thought I would never see again, one of which I didn't miss."
"Yeah. Nice to see you to Doc," Kara sneered. "Come to jab us to death?"
"Stick out your arm, I have to draw blood. You to Captain."
A few minutes later Cottle had left.

Life Station
"Take a seat Bill," Cottle said with a stern look on his face. "I've run their blood work and it's them."
"Good," Adama said relieved, but then realized that Cottle wasn't done. "There's a 'but' isn't there?"
"Something caught my eye in the Lt.'s blood work. She pregnant."
"Do we know if it's cylon?"
"No, I haven't run any tests on it yet. I wasn't sure if you wanted me to tell her or if you wanted to do it yourself."
"All go down there right now." With that Adama silently got up and started his way down there.

The Brig a few Minutes later
"So you come to bust us out of this joint?" Kara said with a perky smile.
"Not exactly, take a seat" Adama said sternly.
"What is it Dad?" Lee said concerned, he knew all to well what his fathers tone meant.
"Kara, you.. your pregnant."
….Awkward silence…
"This is some sort of sick joke right?" Kara said trying to keep her cool.
"I'm afraid not. Cottle will be down for more tests. And you both will be here under observation until we deem it safe for you to be let out. No matter what happens I want you both to know how happy I am to see you again," again Adama left in silence.
As soon as he was gone Kara collapsed on the floor in tears.
"This can't be happening to me… it just can't… it can't…"
Lee walked over, scooped her up in his arms, laid down on the cot with her, and stroked her hair until she fell asleep.
