A/N: welcome to chapter 5! The story continues!
Battlestar Galactica:
Kara was lying down on the gurney, impatiently waiting until her blood work came back. She was more interested in playing the weekly flight schedule in her head at the moment than thinking about the possible reasons for her feeling ill, after all living on a battlestar has it cons. For instance, the meals that the galley makes, often caused food poisoning in the past.
"Thrace, your blood results came back."
"Am I good to go doc?"
"Not quite yet…"
Kara sat up on the gurney and was looking at Cottle now instead of just lying.
"What do you mean?"
"It means that the results came back inconclusive, as of this blood test, there is nothing wrong with you. You don't have food poisoning."
Kara just stared bewildered at the doctored. She was about to say something else when Cottle interrupted her.
"When was the last time you had your period?"
"What the frak?!"
Kara was truly starting to get pissed with Cottle, accusing her of getting pregnant and breaking fraternization rules. It's not like he knows that Kara actually did break fraternization rules though, but she guesses that's been happening quite frequently considering they are the only remaining people left that's part of the 12 colonies of Kobol.
"I see nothing wrong in your blood work for the usual suspects that would make you nauseous, but I haven't ruled out pregnancy yet. So, I'm going to ask you again, when was your last period?"
"Ummm… maybe… Wait, I don't remember. I've been so preoccupied recently that I don't remember."
"Ok Kara, lay down on the gurney and lift up your shirt."
"As flattered as I am Cottle, you're not my type."
"I need to get you an ultrasound. Congratulation mama!"
Kara was sure that if she wasn't used to surprises by now, she would have fainted right there. Instead of more banter Kara did as she was told and laid back down and lifted her shirt. Cottle came back with a machine.
"This might be a little cold"
Cottle squirted some kind of gel onto Kara abdomen and before long Kara could see something on the monitor, she couldn't tell what it was but she saw something.
Cottle pointing at the monitor broke the silence.
"See that right there? That's your baby."
"That little peanut?"
"Yup, by the looks of the size, you're over 2 months pregnant."
"Frak!"
"Do you want to hear the heartbeat?"
"Yea."
Cottle fiddled with machine and then it seemed like music to Kara's ear. Through the machine, she started to hear a steady beat, fast in pace.
"Thrace, that's your baby's heartbeat."
Kara couldn't even respond, she was choked up in emotion. All she could do was just lay there. Cottle handed her some paper and without blinking Kara rubbed the gel off her abdomen and sat up.
"Starbuck, it's safe to say I'm putting you off viper duty until that baby is born."
"Ok Doc."
Cylon Basestar:
Lee just sat there staring at what he thought was Kara. Unknown to him was that he was given a hallucinogenic.
"Kara, they want to know where earth is. I can't tell them anything."
"Why Lee? If it keeps you alive long enough then it is worth it."
Number 6, who Lee thinks is Kara inched ever so closer to Lee's face. She placed her hand on Lee's cheek and brushed it down.
"Then Lee, tell me. I'm the only one here."
Battlestar Galactica:
Kara absentmindedly walked out of the sick bay and towards the quarters. She wasn't really paying attention to where she was going. All she knew was that she had to continue walking. Before long she stopped in front of a hatch that said Admiral Adama. Kara knocked on the hatch door waiting for a reply.
"Come in." Adama said in his usual commanding gruff voice.
Kara slowly opened that hatch door and walked into the room, not really understanding why she decided to come here.
"Oh Kara, I was meaning to talk to you. Sit down."
Kara instead of sitting down, decides to stand in front of the Admiral desk, expecting only a short visit.
"Sir, I have something to say that would affect the performance of my duty."
"What is it?"
"Sir, the reason why I was feeling ill wasn't because of food poisoning but because I'm pregnant."
At the that the Admiral didn't know how to respond. He partially wanted to scream at Kara for being so stupid in getting herself pregnant but at the same time he can't because things happen.
"Who is the father?"
Kara looks at the Admiral, she's feeling conflicted on whether to tell him the truth or to hold off on it. Kara decides that at this time it would be best to sit down and see what the Admiral would say.
"Kara, it's ok if you tell me. You're like a daughter to me."
"Sir, the father is your son."
Cylon Basestar:
It's been several hours now since Lee was dosed with a hallucinogenic, and the cylons decided that it was a loss cause to question Lee any longer, as he was constantly fighting it. The cylons stood in the center console of the ship each having their hands placed in the data stream. The cylons were coming up with ideas on other ways to acquire the location of earth.
The cylons made a decision in regards of what to do with Lee. They have decided that the best course of action would be to further trying to break Lee down. To use tactics that as of yet haven't. The plan is to weaken Lee, to make him want to give up. Starvation and dehydration is on the table. Humiliation is not a bad idea either.
Lee was still in his cell. After the lengthy interrogation, he was finally starting to regain his consciousness and his instincts. He started to open his eyes and looked down. He saw a tray of food and glass of water right in front of him.
He rushed to the food and hungrily devoured it, he didn't take a second to savor the taste. The last time he remembered eating was ages ago, certainly before he was dosed with drugs.
Number six walked from around the corner, she opened the cage and entered. Since Lee was already too weak to fight back, he just laid there on the floor mostly naked. The only piece of clothing that separates him from being completely naked is his military issued briefs.
Number six squatted down, looked at Lee who happen to be lying face down. She then got up and kicked Lee in the side to get him to roll over on his back. She then took Lee's briefs off and left him there stark naked. The reason for this wasn't because of a sexual thing, it was more to do with humiliation and eventual torture.
Battlestar Galactica:
The Admiral didn't know what else to do but to stare at Kara from behind his desk. He stood up and walked around his desk and came to stand in front of Kara. He softly wrapped his arms around Kara and gave her a hug that at first Kara did not reciprocate. After a few minutes, Kara also wrapped her arms around the Admiral. Kara lightened up and placed her head on the Admiral's shoulder and cried. Cried for the loved that Adama just showed in spite of Lee missing, cried for the love that they both lost, cried for the baby and finally cried for the last 2 months.
Adama pulled back and stared at Kara in the eye, like a father looking at his daughter. He wiped the tears that was streaking down her face away.
"I'm here for you if you need it."
"Thanks Sir."
Kara was going to turn around and leave but Adama stopped her.
"You're not alone in this Kara. I'm this child's grandpa. I'm right here if you need me."
Kara gave Adama a nod, then she turned around and walked out of his quarters. Her next destination was her quarters to rest and eventually sleep. She was definitely be out of a viper until the baby be 3 months old, and that would mean that she would have to think of a suitable person to make as a temporary CAG.
Adama went back to sitting behind his desk. Right before Kara entered he had to hide the documents that he was working on. No one knows about it, not Tigh and not even the president. He one told Lee that he wouldn't rest until he found his son, and that's what he's planning to do.
The document states everything that was found as of recently in regards to Lee, although the search has been halted for some time now, he has been conducting his own searches, by trying to gather information and by seeing if Lee was captured by the cylons, which one of the Basestars he would be. They are still heading towards earth but also with a secondary objective. Search and rescue Lee.
Adama sat back down behind his desk and resumed what he was working on, he didn't want to tell Kara so not to bring her hopes up. He was going to tell her before she left but decided not to. He would tell her more when he knows more, but for now it's something that he has to keep private until he's ready.
Cylon Basestar:
Number 6 came into the cage that Lee was being held, it was clear that Lee has moved since she last saw him, he started to lay on his side, trying to hide as much of himself as possible. It's been several hours now since they left him be and at every 33 minutes either of the cylon models would come and check on Lee, to wake him up if he was asleep. They would stay for 10 minutes trying to break him and then leave. This has been the for quite some time now and neither of the cylons seem to be giving Lee any breaks. This time however when Number 6 came in, she decided to wake Lee up by forcefully kicking him.
Lee bucked at the searing pain that went through him because of the forceful kick. He suddenly shot his eyes open, he was about to scream in pain but he managed to stop himself. He moved himself to lay on his back to counteract the pain. He looked up to see Number 6 to be looking down at him.
At this point Lee felt very vulnerable, he was weak, hungry, thirsty and in pain. He wanted to go home, he wanted to be with Kara again. He wanted to see his father and he wanted to be out of this nightmare.
Number 6 bent down and placed a glass of water in front of Lee, she then turned around and walked away without saying a word.
A/N: ok, that concludes chapter 5. Please leave a review! What do you think happens to Lee? Do you think the president or anyone else will find out what Adama is doing? What would happen to Kara? Is it a boy or girl? Do you think Lee would be found before the baby is born? Wait for the next chapter to find out! In the meantime leave a review and perhaps the chapters would come out faster... Hope you enjoyed this chapter!
