Lee Adama sat up in his bed, more nervous than he could ever remember being in his entire life. There were all these people standing before him, looking at him anxiously, themselves. And the kid. Whose kid is that?

His dad was there, and Kara. Behind her stood Samuel Anders, never one of his most favorite people, but he had a begrudging respect for the former Pyramid player. They were all moving their eyes about the room, waiting for something.

He nearly jumped out of his skin at the click of the door opening. In walked Cottle, carrying a small bag and accompanied by one of the nurses from sickbay.

"All right. Would someone tell me what the frak is going on? Sorry…."

Looking sheepishly at the kid in Sam's arms, Lee averted his gaze and settled on Kara's eyes instead, taking in the narrowing of her lids, and then the grim set to her lips.

Kara took a very deep breath and sat down in the chair next to Lee's bed before she began.

"Okay, Lee. A lot of things have happened while you have been… 'out' shall we say…? Mainly that you were in a coma, and when you woke up, you seem to have found yourself with a little…."

"Amnesia, Captain Anders."

Lee looked up at Doc Cottle, then at Kara again.

"C-Captain…A-Anders? Wait a second, what's going on here?"

A warm, familiar hand was put on top of his. It brought him back down to where he was and who was in front of him. Lee focused on that feeling of warmth, and gulped as he listened to her continue.

"Yes, Lee. You haven't been in the coma but a couple of weeks. But it looks like that was just long enough. I'm a Captain now. And Sam and I got married. You…you went away for a while. We didn't know exactly what happened to you."

"So you just…moved on, without me?"

Kara leaned back in her chair as his hand was jerked out from under hers. He didn't understand. Who could expect him to? She looked up in surprise as she saw Sam move out of the corner of her eye, getting closer to Lee's bed.

"Commander Adama; Apollo, meet your son, Billy."

The toddler looked down at his biological father and then to his step-father once more, grinning as he reached out with his chubby little hands, willing Lee to reach for him. And the older Adama did.

With a look of amazement, he reached out and gingerly accepted his own son from the man who had married the woman he loved. His eyes widened in response to the little boy's thumping him on the nose before uttering one word that made all their hearts melt.

"Da-da."

Lee did not miss the twinkling of tears in Sam's eyes as he nodded. Nor did he fail to catch the smile on Kara's face as she reached out and grabbed both of the men's hands, holding on tight to each of them; joining them all together as a family unit.

Bill Adama nodded to Doc Cottle, indicating that he didn't think that sedation would be necessary. He himself reached out a fatherly hand, placing it on his son's right shoulder.

"Welcome back, son."
