"Wow, Starbuck speechless. This has never happened before." Lee tried to cover up his nervousness with humor. What made me say that? If she says no, we're over.
"Yeah..." Lee smiled as Kara forced a chuckle. Kara's laugh, even forced as it was, never failed to make him smile. When the echoes of her chuckle faded, laugh lines were replaced with the adorable frown marks that marred her skin whenever she was thinking. Oh Gods, she's gonna say no.
"It doesn't have to be now," said Lee in a desperate attempt to save himself, "We have all the time in the worlds."
"O-kay." The single word was long and drawn out, bit it was the most beautiful thing Lee had ever heard. Well, second to her laughter. "Just not right away. Maybe later?" Lee's nod seemed to give her the courage to continue. "And you better have a better proposal for me! Something a little more romantic than the Infirmary." YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!

The past day had gone by in a haze. It didn't matter that another person from the Colonies had been found, confirming Kara and Lee's story. It didn't matter that Earth had made another dangerous enemy. It didn't matter that one of the Colonials had been hurt. Judging by the sounds coming from the other side of the infirmary, it also didn't matter that something amazing was happening between two pilots who never thought their baggage would let them be together. It all didn't matter because Jack was hurt again.
Normally, Sam would wait by Jack's side for him to wake up. This time, Janet said she might be waiting forever. Sam couldn't imagine life without Jack: his endearing fake grouchiness, his annoying smiles. Just him.
"Please don't leave me, Jack." Sam's hand had just brushed her unconscious CO's when a nurse came in to check on him, surprising her into guilty moving away. She glanced at the machines, copied down some notes, and left. Sam wanted to scream at her to do something, but she knew the only thing that would earn her would be a reprimand from Janet.
"I know all that keeps us away from each other is other people. I know that if we were together than we could happy. Just look at what goes around here every day. I may be in the pits about some project or another, but then you are there. Whatever you annoying thing you say or do, it never fails to bring a smile to my face. No one could ever do that before. My father once said that love at first sight is easy, its the kind of love that last forever that is hard. I didn't really love you at first sight, but you grew on me."
"Are you saying that you love me?" rasped Colonial O'Neill. Sam smiled. He would pick now to wake up. Of course, that's just what I finished telling him I loved him for.
"It depends. How much did you hear?" If he heard it all, then she would have no choice. If he only heard the end then Sam could wheedle her way out with some excuse. Sam wasn't sure which she preferred.
"Thats for me to know and for you to find out." Solves all my problems then.
"Yes, I do love you."
