Sam held onto Kara's hand as if they were teenagers on their first date, looking and taking in her emotions that were coming off of her. She looked happy and calm, more overjoyed then anything and a little sad at the same time.

"Sam?" Kara inquired when he almost absently walked into the hatch in front of them.

"Hmm? Oh I'm sorry." Sam pulled on the hatch and held it as Kara walked in. Once inside he closed it and walked up behind Kara. "You'd better lie down. Or are you hungry? What can I get for you?" Then he gathered her in his arms and hugged her tightly, squishing her stomach into him. Then he released her abruptly. "Lords Kara! I'm sorry! I didn't hurt you did I?" He asked terrified.

Kara raised an eyebrow up towards him. "Hurt me? No baby, I'm fine. I'm not that pregnant," she smirked up at him. Kara pulled Sam back in her arms for another embrace. She held on to him for a few moments as one of her hands stroked through his dark hair. "Actually I am hungry for once."

Kara looked at the clock on the wall; it was five in the morning. It took them three hours to see Doc Cottle for something to help her out with her horrible nightmares, and they came out of the sickbay finding out that they were going to have a baby.

"Breakfast sounds great." Kara smiled

"Then breakfast it is. What shall I get for you?"

"Get for me?" She asked eyebrows rose.

"Yes, get for you. You are going to allow me to pamper you for a change. You're going to lie right here in bed until I get back with our food and then I'm going to show you just how much this means to me. I want to show you just how much I love you and how thankful that you're back with me." Sam said eyes alight with happiness.

"A girl could get used to this, Sam. Me, pampered? Who would have thought this day was coming. I'm loving it already. Are you in the mood for waffles?"

"Waffles it is."

Kara walked over to the bed and threw herself up on it. She padded a spot on the bed next to her, motioning to him to take a seat. "You don't have to show me how much you love me, you do it all the time Sam. You show me through the simplest things and you don't even know it." Kara placed her head on his shoulder as they sat on the edge of the bed.

"We'll need to talk... to plan things."

"Yes we need to talk. We have a lot to talk about, but food first my love. I'm starving."

"Breakfast is on it way." Sam kissed her lovingly before he headed out.

Kara was normally a fairly good eater, she wasn't terribly picky but lately he'd noticed that certain things made her feel ill, so he tried to remember what they were, for now it made sense. He'd got some toast, waffles, bacon, eggs and cereal along with milk, juice, and some fruit and he even found some tea.

Kara took a small nap while Sam was gone. Which didn't help at all. Her dream flooded straight back into her mind. Almost the same one but this time she wasn't covered in blood or in a locked shower room.

"It's going to be an amazing child Kara." Leoben said as he walked around the bed that she was lying in. "I told you that you have a destiny. That it had already been written." He came and sat on her bed, rubbing her swollen stomach that held her baby. "Your special. You and your baby. God wants us to be together. That's why he sent me to you, to help you get back on the path. Your destiny is to lead us to..."

Kara jerked awake and sat back up on the bed, bringing her knees into her chest while she waited on Sam to return. "Get a grip on yourself Kara," she whispered to herself.

There was enough for the both of them as Sam entered balancing the tray with one hand while closing the hatch with the other. "I hope this is alright sweetheart."

Forgetting about her nap and nightmare, she hopped off the bed and walked up to Sam. "Looks good." She said as she popped a grape in her mouth and smiled. "These aren't that bad for once." She looked up at Sam. "What is it?"

"I ran into Cottle and he said to expect more of the same for the next few months," he said setting the tray down. "And that you're going no where near a Viper anytime soon," he said wondering just how this news as going to hit her and he hoped it wasn't him that was going to get hit.

When Sam told her about Cottle taking her Viper away, she knew it was coming. Of course today would be the day that she found out that she was pregnant. In two hours she was supposed to be suiting up for a simulation with Lee to help those that stayed on New Caprica to refresh their memory on the Viper. She was looking forward today for weeks.

"I was just thinking about my flying status while you were away, actually." Though she wasn't thinking about that at all at time. She grabbed a piece of toast and took a small bite off of it. "Looks like I'm stuck with the excitement of the CIC, giving Adama and Tigh my two cents, and seeing you all day long." Kara smiled up at him before she took another bite of her toast. "Hey don't worry about me. I have gone over a year without flying. What's another nine months going to do to me?"

Sam looked uncomfortable, "Kara, it could be up to a year before you're allowed back in the squadron. You have to take into account the weight gain, you'll have to get back into shape, not that you're going to get fat and lazy by any means, but having a baby takes a large toll on the body."

"Oh? And how do you know so much about it?" She asked.

"I'm not an idiot Kara," he quickly stated.

"I never…" Kara began but Sam cut her off.

"On Caprica... I had a sister and she had kids. I also had several friends that had wives who had kids," he said softly. He hadn't allowed himself to think about all the family and friends he'd lost when the Cylons destroyed his home. Then with the militia there hadn't been time. He hadn't even mention much to Kara about his brother, sister and parents. "I just don't want you to make unrealistic goals and be disappointed if you can't meet them." He willed away the pain he felt that the thought of his family never knowing Kara or their child. He hadn't realized just how much that would hurt.

"I never called you an idiot Sam," she said as she set down her piece of toast. "Just a frakking moron. I still can't believe that you thought that you could sweat out your Pneumonia by playing Pyramid." The memory of her picking him up off the ground on the Pyramid court, the heavy coughing coming out of him, made her butt tight still.

Kara noticed that Sam got all quiet on his side of the table and was picking at his food with his fork. He never did pick at his food like that.

"Okay so that wasn't the most brilliant thing I've ever done and I know you said that with affection," he looked up at her, "right?" Sam set down his fork and looked back down at his plate.

"What's on your mind Anders?" Kara only heard Sam talk about his family maybe four times since they were together. He had looked for his parents when he was on Caprica when he could get down into Caprica City but there was no sign of them. His brother and sister lived on Picon, so there was no way to look for them.

Unlike Kara, her father died when she was young and lived with her abusive mother until Kara and received a scholarship to the Fleet Academy to play pyramid but that didn't last long. Her mother died of cancer shortly after Kara graduated from Colonial Fleet Academy and had become one of the top Viper pilots in the school. "You're thinking about them again aren't you?"

"I just suddenly... yeah, I guess so," he said softly.

"I know how hard it is for you. If both of my parents were still alive when the Cylons attacked I would know what you are going through." She reached her arm over the table and grabbed his hand. "Hey, but now we have each other and that's what counts right now." She paused and looked into his azure blue eyes. "They could be in another fleet like I said before, we can't be the only ones left from the colonies."

"We can hope," Sam gave her a quick sad smile. "You know that I won't rest until I know for sure. Someone somewhere has to have seen or heard something wouldn't you think?" He asked. "I mean even people in the city survived, and they... they didn't live inside the city proper." Sam knew that he was grasping at straws, but he would not give up hope.

"Maybe. I don't know for sure." Kara didn't know if that was true or not, but she said to him anyway.

Right now both of them needed something positive to look forward too. Well something closer that wasn't eight months away. She got up from her chair and started cleaning off the table. She didn't eat much because she was just going to throw it up anyway in a few hours. Like she did every morning from the lovely symptom of morning sickness. She placed her plate back on the tray. She did eat but it was just a few grapes and two bites of her toast and waffles. Then she started thinking out loud.

"I do need to talk to the Old man anyway. I can ask him to update the records of those that are in the fleet. All of us. Just to see if we missed a few people on accident."

She reached over for his plate and was about to grab it, but didn't it. "Are you done with your breakfast?" She asked him as she walked over to his side of the table.

"I'm done," he said as he got up from his chair to help her out with their dishes.

She stood there, placing her hands on her stomach and rubbed it. She thought of anything to say to him to get his mind off his family. "When does your training being? Soon right?"

Sorry that it was so short. I promise the next chapter will be longer and with a little bit more action. Maybe I'll throw in a surprise guest or something like that.
