Two months ago…Two months ago Samuel T. Anders was rescued from Caprica. Two months of Kara devoting every waking moment to Sam, the hot shot pyramid player. For Lee Adama it's been two months of hell.
Three months ago everything changed…Three months ago Kara Thrace shot Lee Adama. Three months ago Billy died. Two and a half months ago Lee Adama and Anastasia Dualla began dating. For two weeks Kara Thrace's life was hell…then Sam was rescued.
Life on a battle star has never been easy. There are always battles to be fought, lives to be saved. When the end of the world came, life became harder. Families were torn asunder, relationships were destroyed. The months of hiding or rather running away from the cylons only made things more difficult. For Kara Thrace and Lee Adama things only became harder. It's always easier to run away then face the truth.
"God dam it Kat, behind you!" "Frak!" Kara yelled as a Kat's viper was hit. Of all days, Kat had to choose the day of Kara's two month anniversary with Sam to get shot. Luckily Kara was around to shoot down the fraking cylon raider before it could finish the job.
Starbuck landed her raider safetly inside of Glactica and was greeted with a stern Lee. "Frak Starbuck! What were you thinking… You could have been killed!"
"I was doing my job Apollo! I saved a fellow viper pilots life!" Kara screamed. She new the deck crew was watching the famous Staruck and Apollo argue, but she didn't care. It had been too long since she and Lee had argued…let alone talked. Ever since that fraked up night when they had given into temptation and made love…no had sex, Kara reminded herself…she loved Sam, not Lee!
"In my office Starbuck…Now!" Lee yelled.
Starbuck responded with an uncharacteristic salute and a "Yes sir!"
Lee entered his office with Kara in tow. "Shut the door Kara!" Lee yelled. Kara stood stunned for a moment, he had called her Kara, not Starbuck, an intimacy he hadn't used for what seemed like months.
"Apollo, what the frak is your problem! You and I both know that you would have done the same thing…we can't afford to lose anymore pilots!"
Lee stood there watching Kara silently for a moment before responding. "Your right…I would have done the same thing."
"Then why the frak are you yelling at me Lee!"
"I don't want to lose you Kara!" Lee yelled.
"You lost me the moment you started dating Dee, you bastard!"
"Kara" Lee yelled…
"Shut the frak up Lee, I don't need this, I'm happy, I am…Sam's a great guy, he loves me, really loves me." "I'm happy!"
"If your happy, then why are you crying?" Lee asked as he went around his desk to stand directly in front of Kara. Lee couldn't help it, Kara looked so beautiful with tears streaming down her face, he had to kiss her.
Suddenly Lee's arms were around Kara, their bodies molding into one another as the fire between them exploded in a kiss…a kiss so passionate they didn't know where one began and the other ended. Their bodies were on fire. Kara was breathless… "Lee" she sighed, "Oh gods Lee"
After what seemed like an eternity they parted when someone knocked on the door to the office.
"Come in" Lee called.
Standing before them was Dee. "Starbuck, Apollo" Dee spoke so softly.
"Dee" they both replied.
"I have to go and check on Sam" Kara suddenly blurted out. "He's probably worried sick."
As soon as Kara had left Lee's office Dee closed the door and turned around to sit in the nearest chair. "Lee, there's something I have to tell you." "You may not be excited but I am, I'm so happy I can barely breathe….I'm pregnant!"
For the first time in his life, Lee Adama was speechless.
Four days later Kara Thrace was lying in sick bay. For three days she hadn't been able to keep her food down, for three days she had been sick as a dog, three days ago her world had been turned upside down when she found out Anastasia Dualla was pregnant.
Doc Cottle finally emerged with the test results to her mysterious illness. Kara Knew Doc Cottle was going to tell her to take an easy, she just needed rest. Kara assumed it was just stress that was preventing her from engaging in normal activities. She assumed the reason cigar smoke made her feel sick was because it reminded her of Lee and their night of passion three and a half months ago. She couldn't be more wrong.
For the first time since she had been stationed on Galactica, Doc Cottle wasn't smoking, and he had a look of pure shock on his face. Then he said the magic words that would change everything.
"Thrace, your pregnant…Three and a half months from the look of it!"
For the first time in her life Kara Thrace was speechless.
