Lee ran after Kara, shouting for Kara to come back, but she didn't stop. She stormed into the bunkroom and slammed the hatch in his face.

"Kara come on, please I'm sorry."Lee shouted, tears welling in his eyes.

"No Lee just go away!" Kara shouted back, tears welling in her eyes.

"Kara please I'm sorry!"

"Lee just go" Kara screamed her voice cracking at the end as she broke down in tears.

Lee closed his eyes and slid down the wall opposite the hatch, he rested his arms on his knees and stared at the hatch struggling to keep his tears under control. Meanwhile on the other side of the hatch, Kara slumped down onto her rack and hid her face in the pillow. As she tried to keep her tears at bay she felt her hand brush across something, she picked it up and found it was the hoody that Ali had given Lee. She sat up and lent on the back wall of her bunk, holding the hoody to her.

They sat like this for almost half an hour before Ali turned up with one of the other pilots. As soon as Lee saw her he jumped off the floor and tried his best to hide how upset he was.

"Daddy what's wrong?" Ali said running into Lee's arms.

"It's nothing sweetie, I'm ok. Have you had something to eat yet?"

"Yeah, I had some with Cally, she said that you couldn't come"

"Sorry about that, Daddy and Mommy were busy. Go on in, and get some sleep."

"Ok, Night night Daddy" the girl whispered, giving Lee a squeeze.

Lee said good night and watched as Ali walked into the bunk room before dismissing the pilot and sliding back down the wall, he continued to stare at the hatch. On the other side Kara tucked Ali up in bed and then lay down in her own rack and stared at the bottom of Ali's rack. Almost an hour later Kara and Lee fell asleep, Kara in her rack and Lee sat in the corridor outside.

Kara was sat in the rec room staring at the paper work in front of her, Lee was on the other side of the room staring at his paperwork, they were both ignoring each other. Neither one had said anything to the other since they had walked in, and they were both trying the best to not even look at each other. Both of them looked up as the hatch opened and a drunk and angry Anders walked in, he noticed Kara and began to stagger towards her, shouting. He never reached her though, as he found a very angry Lee standing in the way.

"What do you think your dong?" Lee spat.

"She dumped me without even thinking about it, she is disgusting and she is gonna get it," Anders slurred.

"I don't think so, you should leave" Lee said calmly but firmly.

"I don't think so" Anders retaliated, taking a swing at him.

Much to Kara's surprise Lee took the hit, wincing but still standing strong. Anders kept on hitting him and Lee just stood there and took it all, adamant that he was not going to get at Kara. Lee took blow after blow as Kara stood behind him screaming trying to get it to stop, but Anders just kept hitting and Lee just kept standing there, until Lee began to waver. After that it was only a few more hits until Lee fell to his knees, still trying to protect Kara, Anders laughed at him and put all his weight in one last kick, making Lee fall to the ground. Kara ran to Lee's side and turned him over so he was lying on his back, she stared at his blood covered face and his lifeless eyes staring back at her. She'd lost him, she screamed.

Lee woke up with a start to the sound of someone screaming his name, he rubbed his hands over his face before he realized it was Kara. All of a sudden he launched himself off the floor and swung the hatch open, and rushed in. Kara was sat on her rack, shaking, tears streaming down her face, she heard the hatch open and looked up to see Lee rush in. They both stared at each other, Lee stood in the middle of the bunkroom, and Kara sat on her rack.

Eventually Kara looked away, "I'm sorry" she whispered, her voice quivering.

"No Kara I'm sorry. You were right, I dunno what I was thinking not telling you, I was an idiot... I'm sorry" Lee said, walking towards Kara and wrapping his arms around her, "Are you ok?" he asked.

"Yeah, just had a nightmare." she whispered holding on to him.

"It's ok. Just remember it's not real" he whispered, gently stroking her hair.

"Yeah I can see that" Kara said more to herself than to Lee, but that didn't stop Lee hearing it and giving her a concerned look. This just made Kara smile, "It doesn't matter... Now what does matter is what is going on with you? And don't say nothing," she said jokily glaring at him.

Lee glared back and then smiled weakly, "I'm ok really, it's just... we seem to be losing a lot of pilots lately... I guess it's just getting to me... you forgive me?" Lee sighed.

"Alright, just as long as you tell me next time okay?" Kara smiled sadly at him.

"I will," Lee promised, but he couldn't help but see the sadness behind her smile, "You need a bear hug?" he asked smiling.

"That depends on if I can have my favorite bear" Kara teased, her smile getting wider.

"Oh well that depends where you put it..." Lee laughed searching the bed for the bear he had given her, making Kara laugh, "Oh here it is" he cried pushing the bear into her arms.

Kara took the bear off him, and wrapped her arms around his neck, the bear still in her hand, "I love you" she said pulling him towards her.

Lee wrapped his arms around her waist, " I love you too."

A few hours later Helo dragged Cally towards the bunkroom.

"Come on Helo, what is so important that you had to drag me all the way here, half way through my fraking breakfast?" Cally asked getting annoyed.

"Shhhh come on I thought you would want to see this." Helo whispered, quietly opening the hatch.

He pulled her into the room and pointed at one of the racks. Cally stared at the rack and couldn't help but smile.

"I don't get it," she whispered, "how can they have two massive fights and then be like nothing happened in one day"

"I guess that's just them isn't it. They're always fighting but they just can't be without each other."

"Yeah, they've been through a lot haven't they, but in the end they will always be together. You don't get Apollo without Starbuck, and you don't get Kara without Lee."

"Yeah it's always been an adventure with those two, I just can't wait to see where it goes next."

"No neither can I, but right now I have to get to work before I'm late and the chief kills me" Cally whispered, opening the hatch.

With that Helo and Cally left leaving Lee and Kara sleeping peacefully in each others arms, with a sleeping Ali above them. And so a family was formed, in the middle of a war, they found love.

A/N I'll only carry on with this story if people want me too, if not then I will probably just leave it here. So review and tell me what you want me to do.
