SPOILERS!!!!! I WARN YOU NOW!!!!

Warning: I would have tissues near by.

Bill had gone to sleep that afternoon in the cabin he had built for him and Laura. Laura had died shortly before he had found the spot for their home. He had buried her on the hill and told her of the sunrise they would get. He felt his final breath coming after ten years of being without the one he loved. Soon he would join her and all would be well. Her name had been the last thing to fall from his lips; lips that could still taste her sweet kiss even ten years later.

Lee had gotten a feeling that he should visit his father and check on him. It had been five years since he had seen his father. Apollo had taken to exploring this new world but it was thoughts of his father that drew him to the formers Admirals cabin in the mountains. And it was there that he found his father with no pulse sitting in a chair facing the east with a sunrise gracing the skies. He knew that it had been his father's final wish to be laid to rest next to Laura Roslin for eternity. Lee spent most of the day gathering heavy stones to cover the fresh earth that would cover his father. At mid day Lee set about the horrible task of burying his father. Lee could just hope that wherever his father was now Roslin was there to wait for him.

Bill stood on the bow of a ship listening to the water and feeling the sun on his face. The last thing he remembered was breathing Laura's name. And now he was here on a ferry heading towards a shore only described to him by Laura. Then he saw her, her red hair looking like fire in the sun. Bill saw his son and Carolann, but his eyes strayed back to Laura. She was his world and his heart. As his compelled Bill was there in front of Laura. She lifted right hand to cup his cheek and he felt metal press into his skin. Taking her and from his cheek Bill saw she still bore his ring upon her finger.

Pulling her towards him Bill kissed her long and deep. Ten years without her had broken his heart. He had said he could not live without her and now he never would. Bill was here with her on the shores of Alysium. Laura wrapped her arm around his waist and reveled in the kiss Bill Adama bestowed upon her. It seemed like yesterday she was in the Raptor with him and then here he was with her standing on a shore.

"Laura," Bill whispered when they parted. He only had eyes for her.

"Shh, quiet. Just follow me and everything will be fine." Laura replied and taking his hand she led him into a grove of trees away from the departing ferry. A few meters in Bill saw a cabin. It was the kind of cabin Laura had talked about in the dark of the night on Galactica while he held her as she slowly withered away. There was even a stream flowing by. He smiled and squeezed her hand as she led him up the steps and in the front door of her cabin. If this was heaven then he was glad to be here, glad to be with her.

"I dreamed of this, us together here." Laura said, "It's all I have ever wanted, especially in those final months, just you and I living together in the woods."

"Then we can have that, here and now." Bill smiled at her, "What a strange thing this is. The last thing I remember is the sun was starting to rise over the mountains, and then I was here." He remembered whispering her name before he saw her on the shore.

"Bill, I heard you thinking of me everyday. I know about the cabin you built and the lovely view we would have had, had I…." Laura was silenced by Bill's fingers over her lips.

"We're together now, and that's all that matters." Bill replied leaving Laura's side to go out onto the back porch. The trees were like soldiers standing at attention in two rows leaving a clear line of sight to the horizon, an easterly view for a sunrise. He smiled and turned to see her leaning on the door jam.

"I heard what you said after I… died." Laura replied emotion ringing in her voice. Bill noticed that she played with his ring, her ring now. Coming over to her Bill took her right hand and kissed it reverently, touching the band on her finger reassuring himself that it was still there and she was still his, his woman. Unbidden the tears began to fall as he remembered her last breath in this world.

"You did?" Bill asked equally strong emotion in his voice.

"I heard ever word you said, or you thought about me. It made me feel connected to you even though you were still alive." Laura's tears spilled over and Bill wiped them away. Everything was alright now because they could be together. She leaned in close and kissed him lightly.

"What are we going to do now?" Bill asked and turned back to the view. Behind him Laura smiled and taking his hand once again pulled him into the house leaning him towards the back of the house where she knew the bedroom to be. She had other motives for taking him back there but the foremost in her mind was the lovely bay window that showcased the view.

Laura lay down on the bed and motioned for Adama to join her. She had a wicked smile on her face and Bill followed suit. Stretching out next to her Bill looked down into Laura's face but she was looking out the bay window, so he looked there as well. The sight that greeted him was marvelous. The view reminded him of where he built the cabin and it was almost like they were back on the Colonies at the same time. This was his paradise and it was made so by Laura Roslin.

"This is heaven." Laura sighed and looked up into Bill face. His eyes were the same blue that she remembered and they held what he was feeling. He could keep emotions off his face like no other that she knew, but not out of his eyes. They were his only tell tale. Laura draped one arm over his shoulder and her other hand she threaded her fingers through his hair. His next best feature had to be his hair. It was soft and thick at the same time and Laura loved the feel of it. "Do I make you happy?"

"Yes. You always make me happy." Bill replied leaning down slowly to take Laura's lips. He had missed kissing her. He had missed being with her. Bill had missed everything about her, it was Laura Roslin after all and that was what he missed. No matter what he would always be with her. He pulled back to stare at her. He still couldn't believe they were together.

"We have eternity now." Laura whispered and lightly kissed Bill on the forehead. They truly did have all eternity.

"Dad, I know that wherever you are Laura is with you and I know you are happy. But I want you to know that I miss you and I love you."

Bill looked up when he heard his son's voice. It was almost like Lee was standing there next to him. But Lee was still alive and well. That was all Bill wanted. "Lee loves you." Laura whispered.

"You heard that too?"

"Yes and you are happy." Laura whispered and started to unbutton his dress uniform. She thought he always looked good in his dress uniform. Bill pulled away and backed off the bed. Laura sat up and leaned on her elbows looking at him.

"As much as I would love to continue this I want to enjoy my first night watching the sun set with you." Bill said and offered her hand to Laura.

"Ok, well you get changed and I will be out on the porch." Laura smiled, kissed him, and walked out leaving Bill in the room.

Taking a chance Bill opened the closet to see clothes for him next to hers. "Gods, this place really does provide." Bill whispered and pulled out a pair of dress pants to go with the undershirts he wore beneath his dress uniform jacket. There was even a hanger for his uniform, not like he would ever need it again though.

Out on the porch Bill saw Laura curled up in a blanket relaxing in a big deck chair. The way she just sat there reminded Bill of all the times she had been on Galactica when she had been in his quarters sitting on his couch thinking. Laura was sexy when she thought, or stared into space, or anything else she was doing.

"Hey." Bill said and came into her view.

"Hi, come sit, there is enough room for two." Laura smiled and moved the edge of the blanket so Bill could join her. He settled down next to her and draped one arm over the back of the chair. Laura snuggled into her blanket and Bill side while she rested her head on his shoulder. New Caprica flashed into their minds. That night they had spent under the stars together was the best night whether of them had shared in a long while. It was nice not having anyone make demands on them. Now all they had was endless time to relax. They could find a new life here not like the one they couldn't get when they were alive. Funny how death could provide the one thing a man would want. And this man only wanted Laura Roslin.

"This really is paradise." Laura breathed out. Bill was finally here with her and now she felt whole and complete. Contentment also filled her just sitting here with him, this man that made sense for her when a universe was in chaos or when her own mind was in turmoil. He made things simple for her and that's what she felt now. This was there chance for the life they wanted. This place was as good as any. They had everything they needed and all they needed right now was each other.

"Yes it is." Bill replied and hugged Laura closer. The sun was starting to set and the hue's of red, purple, and orange lit the sky like fire descending to the earth before the moon rose to put out the fire and reign supreme in the sky until the sun rose again to chase the moon away. Bills right hand sought out Laura's. When his skin made contact with hers he laced their fingers together. This was their life now and forever. For once the thought of forever didn't frighten Bill Adama, not when he had Laura Roslin in his arms.
