Moments passed during the silence of the two lovers, all was quiet down in the hideout. All that could be heard was their breathing as they held onto each other. The computer behind them beeped. Kara almost jumped out of her skin again. Zeus was calling. "Easy sweetheart, its contact time with the Raptor. See?" Sam pointed to the screen. He took hold of her hand and led her the short distance to where the computer sat on the desk. "I have to notify Tyrol . I'll be right back. Five minutes at the least. Are you going to be okay?" His eyes searched hers.

"Don't leave me Sam," she pleaded.

"I swear Kara, I'm only going to be five minutes. I don't know all the pass codes, no one knows everything. We've set it up this way for a reason. Trust me."

Kara backed up against the wall. "I trust you, yeah, sure, I guess I'll be alright. It's only five minutes. You said no one knows of this place but you, Chief, and Tigh right?" Kara was scared out of her mind. She ran her fingers through her hair. "Uhm... Can I have a gun?" She looked up at him. In the back of her mind she didn't want him to leave her alone. "Just in case," she was shaking in fear. "Just hurry back. Okay?"

He couldn't do it. He couldn't leave her when she was so obviously terrified. Sam held out his hand. "Come on, we'll go together."

"Really? How far do we have to walk out there?" She took his hand and they walked out onto the street. She wrapped her jacket around her tighter, she still wasn't used to the cold weather. The apartment was heated and today was her first day outside in awhile. "Lead the way," she wrapped her arm around his tightly as if she were to let go someone would take her away from him.

"Not far, just to the end of this row of tents. Walk casual babe. Here," he paused and pulled off his jacket to put around her shivering body and then a stocking hat to cover her blonde hair. He was more used to the weather than she was, but still the cold air struck his bare arms. "Relax. Remember, I won't let anything happen to you." He put his arm around her slim waist drawing her close against him and the pair walked to the end tent.

"I know you won't let anything happen to me. I can do casual." She smiled up at him as they walked up to a dog.

Sam paused in front of the dog. "Hey Jake, how ya doin'?" He asked as he tipped the dog's bowl at an angle in the dirt. He fed the dog a treat before patting its head again and continuing his casual stroll with Kara.

"Honestly I feel like a thug," she laughed silently to herself. She didn't want to bring any attention to them so she went back to being serious. They walked passed the dog and went down to the end of row. Sam let go of Kara and walked in Tyrol's tent. Minutes passed, Kara kept looking around outside, checking all her blind spots until Sam came back out and they went back to the hideout.

"You did brilliantly," Sam whispered to her as they rounded the last corner. Carefully, they entered and with a last look to make sure they weren't seen, he ducked in. "There. That wasn't terrible was it?" He pulled her in his arms and buried his face in her hair. He hated that she was shaking so badly. "It's okay."

Kara placed her head back on his chest once again. Her body was still shaking from walking outside. She couldn't tell either it was from the cold or being scared that some how Leoben was watching her. "Yeah that wasn't bad at all, I don't know what's gotten into me lately. I'm not like this. This isn't me, Sam." She let go of him so that he could go to work on the computer. "Can I ask a question?"

"Of course babe, what it is?" Sam asked. He needed to make sure that she felt safe, was safe. He looked up from the computer. "Come sit down and ask me anything."

"I... I was wondering, how did you get better? What was the first thing you did after you got better?" Kara was curious. Did Doc Cottle lie to her about him not having any antibiotics on him? She was still angry over how Apollo treated her on the phone that day. "I tried to figure out a way to get you better, but Leoben found me first before I could help you."

Sam didn't even truly know how he got better. "I guess Doc Cottle found some drugs or something. I don't know to tell you the truth. He said that I was pretty bad off there for a while; out of my mind with fever but when I woke finally, Cottle was there telling me I was going to be fine." He shrugged and began to feel a bit of tightening in his chest as he did when it got too cold or he was reminded of that time. He got up and sat next to Kara on the couch and embraced her. "No one told me what had happened to you for over a week. I thought... I thought you were dead. They let me believe for months that you were dead!" He said his voice shaking in rage.

"Looks like we were both led to believe that each other were dead." Kara felt Anders arm muscles tighten. Her eyes widen as she looked up at him. She's never seen him so angry before, it scared her a little. "Baby its okay now, I'm not going anywhere. I have you, we are back together and nothing now is going to take me away. You can relax, sweetie." Sam saw Kara's eyes widen but she knew the anger wasn't directed at her. No it was directed at every frakking Cylon that had screwed up their lives.

She looked away from him, ran her tongue quickly across her teeth and smacked her lips. "Uhm… Why don't you... go and finish your work here so we can go home." Kara let go of him and lean back on the couch.

He sat down at the small table and stared at the screen of the wireless but nothing on the screen registered in his mind for an astonishingly disturbing thought occurred to him. Kara Thrace wouldn't be his wife, the love of his life if it hadn't been for the Cylons. That thought almost made him lose his lunch, as little as it had been. He'd found this amazing woman as the direct result of the attack on their home world. Sam ran both hands through his dark hair and squeezed his eyes closed. He hated the Cylons with every fiber of his being. Yet they were responsible for her saving my life! Lords what am I to think?

At first Kara was wide awake, but she had no clue how long this was going to take. After ten minutes of waiting, she closed her eyes and fell asleep on the couch.

Sam got up and began to pace, another habit he'd picked up in the last year. He was deeply in thought when he passed by the couch that Kara had curled up in and fell asleep. His hard features softened. Kneeling by her side, he brushed her long blonde hair off her cheek. "Let's go home," he whispered as he picked her up like she was no more than a child and cradled her against his hard chest.
