"I'm pregnant…I'm pregnant" Kara Thrace told her self over and over again while standing in front of the mirror in the officers quarters.
"I can't do this…I can't do this"
"I'm not meant to be a mother…OH GODS! How did this happen?"
Knock…Knock….Knock
"Kara, are you in there" Sam called out.
Minuets seemed to pass before Kara responded to Sam.
"Sam…I'm in here"
Sam burst through the hatch door.
"Kara…gods what's wrong with you?" "You've been avoiding me for two days…two fraking days!" Sam screamed.
Kara couldn't help but notice the anger and pain written across Sam's face. This was going to be hard. She loved him…loved him so much, but she wasn't in-love with him, not like Zack, not like Lee. "Shut up Kara…you don't love Lee, you can't love him—he's happy, he's with Dee. Their having a baby" Kara mentally scolded herself. "You have to let Sam down easily… you can't lead him on…he's a good man, a real good man. You don't want to frak up his life by letting him believe your having his baby…he deserves better, he deserves the truth—well most of it!" Kara told her self.
"Sam…I...uh…I…I'm sorry…..Oh gods, this is hard…I never meant to hurt you"
"You're a good guy…a real good guy, but I can't do this any more"
"Kara…what the frak are you talking about…what do you mean you can't do this anymore?" Sam shouted
"Sam" Kara whispered… Her voice trembling…"I'm pregnant!"
"Your…Your pregnant…Oh Gods, I'm gonna be a father… I…I can't believe it! I'm so happy" Sam shouted as he rushed forward and enveloped Kara in a bear hug.
"Sam" Kara screamed as she pushed Sam away…
"I'm pregnant…but your not the father!" Kara yelled
At that moment…Sam's world fell apart.
Two weeks later…
There were whispers. Whispers that the great Starbuck had gotten herself knocked up and her pyramid player boyfriend had dumped her. Lee couldn't believe it. What man in their right mind would abandon a women like Starbuck…a women like Kara when she was carrying your child. Every bone in Lee's body demanded that that scum bag Sam Anders be put in his place. God's if Kara was carrying his child…Lee would have given everything up…everything and everyone. Sadly it was Dee that was carrying his child…Dee. She was a good girl…a nice girl…she would make a good mother, maybe even a good wife. "No!" Lee mentally scolded himself…Dee was a good women but he couldn't make her his wife…He couldn't marry her when Kara was intertwined in his very soul. He may have screwed things up with Kara when he got Dee pregnant…but he could never close the door on Kara…he could never marry another women! He needed to see Kara. He needed to make sure she was ok.
20 minutes later he found Kara passed out in the officers quarters. The sight of her on the floor made his blood run cold. Kara his Kara needed help.
"Kara!" "Kara wake up" Lee screamed as he leaned over her still form. When she didn't respond, Lee picked her up in his arms and made his way to the medical station.
(In the medical station)
"Someone help…Frak!" Lee yelled. A nurse came running and Lee found himself being directed towards a medical bed.
"Please lay her down" the young nurse called Shiela or was it Kayla asked, Lee couldn't remember.
"I'll get Dr. Cottle" Kayla quickly responded before she disappeared around the curtain.
Lee couldn't help but stare at Kara as she lay there on the bed. She looked so tired, so weak and vulnerable. Lee's heart was breaking.
"Kara" he whispered. "Kara, please wake up"
The last thing Kara remembered was leaving CIC and walking into the officer's quarters before her world went black. "mmmmmm" Kara moaned as she slowly opened her eyes.
"Where the frak am I" she mumbled.
Suddenly she heard the voice of the man she had been avoiding for what seemed like weeks. "Kara…your in the sickbay" Lee quickly responded.
"Lee" Kara managed to choke out before Lee cut her off. "I found you passed out on the floor… Gods I was so scared."
They both turned their heads when they heard some one cough. It was Doc Cottle.
"Well… what have we here" Cottle asked.
"I found her passed out on the floor in officers quarter ten minutes ago" Lee quickly responded.
"Thrace" Doc Cottle began… "You need to take care of yourself…your four months pregnant…You really should be making more regular appointments with me to avoid future ecomplications!"
As soon as Doc Cottle said four months pregnant Lee froze. "Four months…four months" he kept repeating over and over again in his head. Suddenly realization dawned on him…Four months meant that the child Kara was carrying was his! With a shout Lee faced Kara and said "Its mine…Four months means your carrying my child!"
The truth was out…and Kara couldn't look Lee in the eye.
In a voice so soft Lee almost didn't hear it she replied "Yes…it's your son"
