(See this is why you love me and why you don't kill me, besides the fact that if you did this story would effectively end. Oh yes. Enjoy.)

"I-ii wanna see her." Came a muffled sob, again.

"Okay, we will, but how about you calm down first." Bill rubbed circles in her back, trying to soothe her just a little. He knew she'd appreciate herself looking composed as she went through the halls of Galactica.

After she had regained part of herself he led her out of the Observation Deck and to sickbay. Where they found Lee sitting in a nearby chair with his head in his hands. Laura walked up to him and crouched beside him, steadying herself with the chair. She touched his arm and removed his hands from his face to look at her. He gave a soft smile and she gave him that worrying look of concern she had once given him on the day of the attacks.

She slowly stood and walked over to the curtain that she was all too fond with. She lifted her hand to touch the curtain.

"She's not in there." said a gruff voice. Laura looked at where it came from and saw Cottle leaning against a bulkhead with a cigarette in his mouth. She was going ask what he meant but Lee began first.

"They took her to the morgue, about five minutes ago."

"I told them to use as many backstreet hallways as they could. Wouldn't draw attention that way." added Cottle.

Laura dropped her hand back by beside herself and left sickbay. Bill sighed and followed her.

It felt like hours before she finally found the morgue, she had only been there once, to see Billy. That she could barely handle, but this. She pushed open the semi clear door to reveal an icy cold room that made her shiver where she stood. She looked around the room and stopped. She heard a muffled bang and her heart stopped. She turned towards the small, square, metal door that the noise was coming from. Cautiously she walked towards it and as she got closer she saw the name tag. Gaia Matthews. Laura freaked and ripped the door open and pulled the slab out.

Bill saw Laura enter the morgue and decided to wait outside, thinking she needed some time to herself.

"Oh my Gods." There on the slab Laura saw Gaia, with her eyes wide open looking around hesitantly.

"Gaia?"

(BTW, if the title of the last chapter didn't make sense either it was a kind of spit towards the novel/show Bleak House. Those of you who have seen it will know of the tragedy of Lady Dedlock and Esther, need I say more. I made a wallpaper/picture for my fic, finally got around to it.
