Cally and Helo fiction
Chapter 4
Cally and Helo have been dating, under the radar from everyone for 3 months now.
They have both arranged their off time so it falls on the same few days, as they want to get away for a couple of days so they can spend some time on their own on cloud 9.
Cally's packing her bag ready to get the shuttle over to cloud 9.
"Cally Doc Cottle wants to see you" Seelix says as she enters their bunkroom
"Okay ill go over now, I don't have to get my shuttle for another 30 minutes"
"Okay…hay have a great time on cloud 9, you lucky cow" Seelix says to her friend
"oh I will' Cally says grinning as she walks out he door with her bag and heads down to the life station, as she walks past the pilots bunks she peers in and Helo's stuffing some clothes into his pack, and he's alone so she sneaks up on him and wraps her arms around his waist.
"Mmm, hay baby, you okay?" he asks turning around and wrapping his arms around her waist.
"Yeah I just gotta go see the doc quickly though babe, before we can go" she says looking up into his eyes.
"Okay, hay you want me to come?" he asks a she plays with a piece of hair where his hand is resting on her neck.
"Yeah okay, seeing as the docs the only one who knows about us" Cally said.
Helo grabbed his pack and they walked down to the life station
"Hay doc, you wanted to see me?" Cally said walking in.
"Ahhh Specialist…LT, iam glad you both came, seen as this affects both of you"
"Whats going on doc?" Helo asks
"It seems the last batch of birth control injections you had where faulty, so they didn't work,
It seems you guys are pregnant" the doc said
Helo and Cally looked at each other then the doc
"Are you sure?" Cally asked
"Positive I ran the tests 3 times myself"
"Oh my gods… Helo what are we going to do?"
"Hay, calm down baby, do you want children?"
"Yeah"
"Do you want them with me?"
"Helo, you know I do, I love you"
"well then, we will be okay, ill admit its earlier then we wanted, but its happened, which means its meant to be Cally" Helo said with his hands on either side of Cally's face.
"So you're okay with this?" Cally asked
"baby…I love you too, and I couldn't think of anyone else I want more to be the mother of all my children, now we just have to go public, we'd better go tell the old man first, before we head to cloud 9, I don't want this to hang over us while were down there" Helo said wrapping his arms around Cally.
"So were really gonna do this" Cally says grinning at Helo.
"Yeah… we are" Helo says then kisses her.
"Well then, ill see you both when you get back for your first anti-natal appointment" the doc said smiling at the young couple.
"Thanks doc" Cally said smiling
"Yeah, thanks doc" Helo said shaking the docs hand.
Cally and Helo headed to the CIC to speak to the old man, and to deliver the report about Cally on behalf of the doc.
"LT, specialist, what can we do for you" the old man asked
"Sir can we speak to you please" Cally said nervously
"Of course you may, follow me, colonel you have CIC" Adama said to Tigh.
Cally and Helo followed the old man to his quarters/office.
"What can I do for you both?" he asked
"Well we wanted to tell you some news we just received first sir, and to deliver the report for the doc" Cally said handing Admiral Adama the report.
"so, what is your news?' he asked them, Cally and Helo looked at eachother.
"Sir, me and Cally have been dating for about 3 months now, but we just received some news, we are having a baby" Helo said.
Adama sat and looked at them, they where both very obviously nervous, but they both looked very much in love and very happy about their news, judging from the smiles on both of their faces.
"Congratulations…now I know you both have the next 3 days off, and are going to cloud 9, when you get back I will have a family quarters ready for you both, therese no sense in you staying in bunks till the baby is born, its very obvious you are in love and I don't want to keep you apart, iam very happy for you both… LT make sure you take care of cally" the old mans said grinning at the young couple.
"I will sir and thank you" Helo said shaking William Adama's hand
"Your welcome, son" he said
"Thanks sir" Cally said whilst hugging him.
"Take care of that little one Cally, and yourself, no over doing it okay"
"Yes sir" Cally said looking down at her belly.
"Dismissed, have a good trip" he said
Cally and Helo headed to the deck, and to the shuttle that was taking people to cloud 9.
They walked on deck and onto the shuttle, a few other couples who neither knew, where already on there, so Cally and Helo sat down at he back.
They sat talking quietly and holding hands all the way over to cloud 9, and once they docked they headed to their room to change and put their gear in.
Once they had changed they headed down to get some food, Cally was really hungry.
They walked through the gardens to the bar hand in hand, laughing and being a couple in love.
As they entered the bar Helo pulled Cally to him and kissed her
"What was that for?" Cally asked giggling
"Because I love you, and because of that little one in here" Helo said putting his hand on Cally's belly.
Cally snuggled into the arm that was around her.
Over sitting at a table was a largish group of people, all from galactica.
Boomer,Chief,Starbuck,Apollo,Kat,Hotdog,Racetrack,Crash,Seelix,Jammer and a few other deck crew where also having a 3 day break.
Boomer saw Helo and Cally walk in then saw Helo kiss cally, she saw Cally giggle and ask him something and Helo told her something then rested his hand on Cally's stomach and she snuggled into his arm.
Boomer smiled widely at them ,it was very obvious to her that Helo and Cally where dating ,and very much in love. And judging by what Helo was doing now… 'no way, omg she is' Sharon thought to herself as she saw Helo rub her stomach then Cally put her hand over Helo's and lean up and kiss him.
Sharon continued to smile.
"Hay little one in here, iam your daddy, and I know your really tiny still but I cant wait to meet you" Helo said
Cally put her hand over Helo's then reach up and kiss him "that's so sweet baby" she whispered to him.
When they broke apart Cally looked around and noticed the gang, and Sharon grinning at her and Helo
"Crap, looks like were going public sooner then we thought" she said to Helo, who looked over to where she was talking about, he saw Boomer grinning at them and waved.
"Looks like we are, but hay i love you so much i want the whole place to know it" he said.
And he leaned in and kissed her again except this time very passionately.
Meanwhile Sharon wasn't the only one who had noticed them, Kara, Chief, and Lee and all noticed them kissing.
"OMG! Did you know Boomer?" Kara asked.
"Well I saw them walk in and he stopped her and kissed her then they chatted them he kissed her again"
"Who are you guys talking about?" Jammer asked
"Turn around and you'll see" the chief said smiling at helo and cally who where still kissing.
So Jammer.Seelix, Kat, Hotdog, Racetrack, and Crash all turned around and saw Helo and Cally just finish their little make-out session.
"Frak, when did that happen? How come none of us saw this?" Seelix said grinning at her friend.
"Like you two, they are obviously good at hiding it" Crash said to Boomer and the Chief.
Cally and Helo walked over laughing and talking and Helo had a hand over Cally's stomach, and when he moved it Sharon could see a small bump in Cally's abdomen.
"Hay guys" Cally said
"Hay"Helo said
A chorus of 'hi' and 'hay' came from everyone around the table.
"So how long has this been going on?" Starbuck asked grinning her trademark Starbuck grin at the happy couple.
"3 months ago" Helo said
"3 months, how the hell did you guys manage to hide it for 3 months from us all" Kat asked
"Pure luck" Cally giggled.
Sharon looked at Cally grinning then glanced down then looked at her again and gave her a look that says 'well…are you?' Cally nodded and Sharon squealed and got up and hugged them both before anyone knew what was going on.
"What the hell was that for?" Helo asked not catching on.
"Your gonna be a daddy Helo" Sharon and Cally both said.
"Ohhh" Helo said braking out in a wide smile looking at Cally and putting his hand on her stomach.
Everyone congratulated them, and then came the questions…
"How? I thought you where on the injection, like the rest of us?" Seelix asked
"I was, but the Doc said that the one he gave me that time was faulty and didn't work"
"OMG!" all the girls said
"How far along are you?" Crash asked
"11 weeks" Helo said
"Are you guys moving out of bunks then?" Hotdog asked
"Yeah, the old mans setting us up our own room" Cally said
"He knows?" both Kara and Lee said
"Yeah we told him before we came down here" Helo said
"How'd he take it?" Chief asked
"Really well, he was… thrilled, I think he wants grandchildren you too" Cally said nudging Kara.
"Not frakking yet, he aint" Kara said giggling
Everyone laughed at that comment.
The gang spent the rest of the day just hanging out, and agreed to meet up the next day to go to the pool that was on cloud 9, it was an outside pool, almost like a beach, it had sand and everything, except no sea, just a very large pool.
They all went back to their rooms.
In Cally and Helo's room they where relaxing in a nice bubble bath, Cally was sitting resting against Helo's chest and a hand on one of his legs the other was resting on her little bump.
"I love you Karl" she said
"I love you too baby, you have no idea just how much I love you" he said
"I think I do" Cally said laughing.
"I can't believe were having a baby Cally" Helo said as he ran his fingers across her belly.
"I know it's so unreal, a few months ago, we where just friends… and now were having a baby" Cally said. She looked up at Helo and wrapped her hand behind his head and pulled him down until their lips meet in a delicate kiss.
Then she snuggled back into his arms, and they continued to just relax in the candle light.
