Lee's was glad that the Cylons didn't attack on his CAP, he was flying with one of the newly trained nuggets that had been out with Kara in the last attack. The guy was trying to keep cool, but Lee could tell that he was nervous and so was keeping a close eye on him, in fact he was watching him so carefully that he almost hit some space debris. He managed to swerve just in time, but as he did his arm smashed against the side of the Viper, sending tingling sensations up his arm. The sensations didn't go away, which made it hard to land, but both pilots got down safely even if it was a little scratchy. Lee clambered out of his cockpit as soon as the tech got out the way, he apologized to the chief for making a mess of the landing, even though he hadn't done that much damage, checked everything was ok and then ran off to the bunk room. He arrived just as the Doc was finishing checking Ali.

"From what I can tell it's just a stomach bug, it could be due to something she ate or she could have just picked it up from someone else. I'd suggest you keep her on just protein shakes until this passes, but other than that there's really nothing we can do, she should get better in couple of days with any luck." the Doc said standing up from where he'd been sat on the rack where Ali was lying.

"Thanks" Lee said, wiggling his fingers to try and get the feeling back in his hand.

"Something wrong with your hand?" Kara asked worried.

"No it's alright I just hit it on the side of the Viper... it's just gone a bit tingly" he explained.

"Want me to have a look at it?" Doc asked.

"S'pose it saves me trying to find you later" Lee said holding out his hand.

The Doc took his hand and started to check it over, making sure that Lee could move it properly and making sure that he hadn't done something serious.

"I think you've bruised the nerve, it'll tingle for a while and then it'll ache but other than that it should be fine."

"Thanks" Lee said again.

The Doc left.

"Right I have CAP in 2 hours so I'm gonna get some sleep" Kara said sleepily.

"Ok, I'll take Ali and go see those nuggets, I'll see you when I get back." he said quickly getting out of his flight suit and pulling on some sweats and the hoody Kara had got him. He walked over to Ali, wrapped her up in her blanket and picked her up with his good arm. Then he gave Kara a quick kiss before leaving to go and meet the new nuggets.

Lee decided he just had time to go and grab something from the mess before he met the nuggets. However he was stopped in almost every corridor by people wanting him to do something or other. When he got to the mess he grabbed an energy bar and two protein shakes and then walked back out the hatch, he was going to have to eat on the way. He ended up only being a few minutes late, and when he walked in many of them had only just arrived.

"Okay sorry I'm late. This is my daughter Ali, she's going to be sitting in on this session, if anyone has a problem with that you can leave. If not then find yourself a seat and we'll be starting in a few minutes." he shouted as he walked through the hatch.

He sat Ali down on a chair in the corner, pulled the blanket around her shoulders and placed the bin in front of her so she had somewhere to throw up if she needed to. Once she was settled he walked up to the front and was just about to start when Kara walked in.

"I need to talk to you" she said simply.

"Ok entertain yourselves for a minute" he said to the nuggets, following Kara to the side of the room out of earshot, where he lent against the wall.

"Shouldn't you be asleep?" he asked.

"Yeah but we need to sort something out"

"What? What's up?"

"We're on the same CAP shift tomorrow and we can't just dump a sick child on some random pilots." she explained.

"Ok I'll look at the flight schedule after this and change with someone, alright? Did you come all the way down here just to tell me that?" Lee sighed.

"No they were making too much noise in the bunk room" Kara replied.

"Oh Why did you just shout at them?"

"Didn't feel like it at the time. However now I'm tired and grumpy so I think I might just do that"

"Ok I'll see you later, and I'll get that sorted. Now go get some sleep"

"Yes sir" Kara threw him a mock salute and turned to go.

Lee laughed and slapped her ass as she left, gaining him a scowl, then Kara grinned at him and left.

Lee walked back to the front and couldn't help but smile at the shocked faces staring back at him.

He just shook his head took a deep breath and started, "Right welcome to the Galactica and basic flight training. I'm Major Adama, otherwise known as Apollo and the CAG, the pilot that just walked out the hatch is Captain Thrace or Starbuck, she will be your flight instructor and you only go in Viper when she says your ready, so don't mess with her if you ever want to fly... So this is a Viper..."

He turned on the screen behind him and started telling them about the workings of a Viper. About one and a half hours later, he dismissed them and watched them leave. Once they had gone Lee put his head in his hands and sighed, he was now regretting not eating much before he came, right now he had no energy left in him. He stayed like this for a few minutes until he heard Ali retching in the corner, he took a deep breath and walked over to her, gently soothing her as she threw up.When she had finished he picked her up and carried her back to the bunk room so that she could hopefully sleep for a while. Once he had her settled he pulled one of the chairs up next to her rack and sat down next to her, he took out the flight schedule that he had picked up on the way there and began to try and find someone he could swap with, however it wasn't long before he found himself drifting off.

Kara walked in after her CAP to find Lee fast asleep in the chair, with Ali fast asleep next to him. She was so glad that Ali had managed to get off to sleep and really didn't want to wake her, so she quietly walked up behind Lee and gently began to massage his shoulders. Lee groaned as he slowly opened his eyes, rubbing his face he mumbled, "sorry I must have drifted off"

"That's alright, have you sorted out tomorrow yet?" Kara asked quietly.

"Yeah, Hotdog is on the CAP shift after ours, he hasn't flown since yesterday so I should be able to swap with him." Lee said sleepily, pointing at the schedule as he spoke.

"Alright, have you eaten yet?" she asked concerned, she'd seen Lee tired but this seemed different.

"Yeah I had a bar before I talked to the nuggets"

"Lee you should be eating more than that, tell you what I'll go get you something and bring it down here, you keep an eye on Ali for me" Kara gave him a quick kiss and then left to go and get him something to eat.

While she was gone Hotdog walked into the bunk room and Lee managed to swap CAPs with him and so everything was set. He had just finished sorting that out when Kara walked back in carrying a tray. She smiled at Hotdog as he walked out and then set the food down on the table next to where Lee was sitting. She gave him one plate and then took the other for herself, they both talked quietly as they ate, but Kara couldn't help but notice that Lee seemed to pick at his food and not eat a lot, it worried her. Her main worry at the moment though was Ali, Lee was a big boy and was going to have to look after himself until Ali was better, she just sighed and continued to eat her diner.
