11:45 A. M., at the university hospital, Beth was called to the nurse's station in the emergency reception area. As Beth was walking up, she saw Spence and Spence's partner, Eric Newbury. She stared at Eric in a resentful manner when she first stepped up. She then turned towards Spence and said, "If you're partnered with Newbury, you have to watch your own back because he won't have it when the situation gets threatening."

Spence looked at Beth in a confused manner as Eric said, "I was not to blame for what happen to Brandon and you know that."

"I don't know anything of the sort," said Beth.

"Okay, what's going on?" asked Spence.

"Do you want the truth or do you want Newbury's version?" asked Beth.

"My version is the truth," Eric insisted.

Spence was about to say something when, Beth said, "The truth is that Brandon got shot in the leg because you were not in the place he had told you to be."

"I wasn't in place because I fell through a hole in the floor in that abandon building we were in," said Eric. "Also Brandon's wound was only a flesh wound."

"That hole in the floor was not even close to where Brandon had told you to be," said Beth. "Plus that flesh wound could have easily have been a bullet between the eyes."

"You do know that Brandon and I had resolved this and we're okay with it," said Eric.

"Brandon may have accepted your lame excuse, but I didn't and now you are partnered with a guy I'm dating," said Beth as she crossed her arms. "Don't expect me to be okay with that."

"Time out," Spence blurted out. He then gestured towards a secluded area. "Beth, I want to talk to you in private."

Beth stared at Eric in a resentful manner while telling Spence, "I want to talk to you in private also."

Eric just had a disgusted expression on his face as Spence and Beth walked a short distance away.

After getting out of earshot of Eric, Spence said, "Beth, I don't know anything about that incident except for what I just heard. I do know though that Eric is a respected officer at the precinct. According to everyone there I am partnered with a good officer."

"Calling Newbury a good officer is a laugh," said Beth. "I know that he got Brandon shot. Brandon was just damn lucky that it was only a flesh wound. I don't want him getting you shot, so don't trust him to cover your back in a crisis."

"Beth, how long ago was the incident?" asked Spence.

Beth thought for a second. She then said, "It was just a few months ago on October 21st. Newbury had been on the force for eighteen months so he supposably knew what to do."

"Well, I can't ask for a new partner just because my girlfriend doesn't think I'm safe around him," said Spence.

"I know that, and I never ask you to change partners," said Beth. "I just want you to know that you can't trust him to protect your back."

"Okay, Beth," said Spence. "I'm hearing your warning and I will be extra careful during a crisis. Okay?"

Beth grinned and said, "Thank you for hearing me."

As Spence was leaning in to give Beth a kiss, he said, "You're welcome." He then gave Beth a passionate kiss. Everyone in eyeshot of them saw the kiss.

The kiss lasted a few seconds before Beth pulled away and with a grin on her face she said, "Okay, behave. This is my place of work."

Spence grinned and said, "Well, I should get that shot so I can visit Tim."

"Let me go get the necessary paper work that you need to fill out and then we can go into the examination room for that shot," said Beth. "You can fill out the paper work in the examination room."

"I'll let Eric know as to where I'll be," said Spence.

In a spiteful tone Beth asked, "Why? It's not like he let Brandon know as to where or what he was doing before…"

Spence interrupted in a pleading tone, "Beth, I get that you don't trust or even like Eric, but partners or not I have to work with him. So for my sake, will you please give it a rest?"

Beth thought for a second. She then nodded and said, "You're right. I'm sorry. I'll play nice for now on."

"Thank you," said Spence.

"Well, I'll go get the paper work while you let your partner know where you're going," said Beth. She then turned and walked towards the nurse's station.

A short distance away from the nurse's station, Spence stepped up to Eric. Before Spence was able to say anything, Eric said, "Beth doesn't want you to be partnered with me and I won't attempt to talk you out of changing partners. I'll even talk to the captain about switching partners in your behalf."

"I wasn't going to request a different partner," said Spence. "Even Beth knows that I can't switch partners just because she doesn't trust you."

"Well, partners should be able to trust each other, and the trust between us has clearly been compromised," said Eric. "Beth's words will be ringing in your ear each time we get into a crises and I can't be partners with someone who will be looking over his shoulders and wondering if I'm where I'm supposed to be."

"Even if you were in the wrong place when Brandon was shot, we all make mistakes and your record has been clean since then," said Spence. "The officers at the precinct say that you're a fine partner to work with so perhaps that experience had made you a better officer. So I'm not looking to change partners."

Eric stared at Beth as she was stepping and said, "I am though so I'll be talking to the captain."

"Fine," said Spence as he turned towards Beth.

Beth stepped up and said, "I have the papers that you need to fill out, Spence, and you can fill them out in the examination room."

"I'll be in the waiting room," said Eric.

Beth said in a tone only to be polite, "Sure, Officer Newbury. Spence, come with me." Beth then turned a walked away. Eric caught the tone and just shook his head. Spence looked at Eric and shrugged. Spence then turned and followed just behind Beth. Beth handed Spence the papers that he needed to fill out as they walked. After reaching the door Beth pointed to it. "Go in there and start filling out the papers while I go get the vaccination."

Spence said in a joking manner, "Don't keep me waiting more than an hour now."

Beth grinned and said, "It's busy around here, so it might be closer to three hours."

"Don't you dare do that to me," said Spence. "Eric and I have to be back on patrol soon."

Beth continued to grinned and said, "I'll be back in a few minutes. Meanwhile go into the room; take off your coat and your uniform shirt."

Spence asked loud enough for only Beth to here, "Are you sure you don't want me to strip further?"

Beth smiled and said, "I'm sure. Before I go, are you allergic to any medicines or anything else or even have health issues that would prevent you from having the vaccination?"

"Not that I know of," said Spence.

Beth nodded and said, "Okay; I'll be back."

"Hurry back," said Spence. Beth nodded as she walked away. Spence walked into the room and took off his coat, gun belt and uniform shirt. He laid the items neatly off to the side. A few minutes later, as Spence was filling out the papers, Beth walked into the room. Spence looked up from the papers. "You told me that you were going to tell me what you wanted earlier when I called you on the phone."

Beth stepped up with the vaccination and alcohol wipe and said, "I found Barry Sage, man in his thirties talking to a known Cylon. Not too long after that I found Mr. Sage making friends with Tiffany."

"And why should I care about this?" asked Spence.

Beth pointed out in a sarcastic tone, "Because I don't know if Mr. Sage is a Cylon or not, but if he is a Cylon and if he made friends with Tiffany then he would have been around your son Timothy." Beth then said in a more normal tone, "I called you because I was going to suggest that you get Tiffany a stun gun also, but before you called me back Tiffany and I had a talk about Mr. Sage."

"Did you tell Tiffany about Cylons?" asked Spence.

"Of course not," said Beth as she began wiping his arm with the alcohol pad. "I just pointed out that there are deep suspicions going around of the plane crash as being a terrorist attack and that the officials believe that terrorists maybe in this hospital, but no one knows who they are. She also caught me while attempting to get a vision from his juice container. When she caught me having a vision, I confessed to her that I get visions and she quickly put two and two together about me being suspicious of Mr. Sage. So now she's suspicious of him; therefore, she doesn't need or even want the stun gun."

Spence was about to say something when Beth stuck him with the vaccination. After making slight grunt sound he said, "It's sound as though you two are getting along very well?"

"We are; which is good for Tim's sake," said Beth.

"I can't decide that you and Tiffany getting along is a good thing or a bad thing," Spence commented.

Beth looked at Spence in a curious manner and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Like all couples I know that you and I will have our fair share of arguments and when we do, I really don't want you discussing it with your new friend Tiffany," said Spence.

Beth smiled and said, "I promise you that I won't go to Tiffany to discuss any problems that might occur between us, and I keep my promises."

"Thank you," said Spence.

"You're welcome." Beth gave Spence a kiss that lasted a few seconds. After the kiss she said, "You can get dress again. Are you done filling out the paper work?"

"Are you kidding, I still have three-fourths of it to fill out," said Spence.

Beth grinned and said, "To speed things up, I can go through the list for you and check things off myself."

"Sure, if you think that will speed it up," said Spence.

"It will," said Beth. She then picked up the papers.

In Tim's room and as Beth had envisioned Tim was playing with the teddy bear while Tiffany watched him play at his bedside. Tiffany had been watching Tim for several minutes when her attention was drawn to a knock at the door. Tiffany called out, "Come in."

Barry walked in and when he saw the concerned expression on Tiffany's face, he asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

"No," said Tiffany. "Everything's okay. Is there anything that you want?"

"You had mention earlier about introducing me to Tim when he was awake and I was worried that something was wrong since it had been a while," said Barry.

"When I said that, I wasn't really thinking properly," said Tiffany. "I mean Tim has the chickenpox and right now he's very contagious. So if you had never had the chickenpox before, I strongly recommend that you leave this room."

"I can't say that I have had it, but I had been inoculated for a long list of diseases and even without the inoculations, I do have a strong immunity so the probability of me getting the chickenpox is low," said Barry.

"Are you in the military?" asked Tiffany.

Barry looked at Tiffany in a curious manner and said, "No. Why do you ask that?"

"Other than being in the military, the only other reason why a person would get a long list of inoculations is if the individual travels all over the world on a regular basis," said Tiffany. "I asked about the military because I was curious to know in which case it was."

"Is there something wrong with it if I do travel?" asked Barry.

"Not at all," said Tiffany. "I would love to travel around the world, but I can't afford to travel across country let alone to another country."

Barry looked at Tiffany in a confused manner. He then asked, "Anyway, can I meet your son?"

"Although you believe you will be safe from getting the chickenpox, I really insist that you don't take the chance so I'm going to ask you to go," said Tiffany. "If time permits later, I'll go visit you."

Barry looked at Tiffany in a manner as if he was trying to figure something out. He then said, "Okay, I'll see you later."

"Bye," said Tiffany.

Barry nodded and walked out. As he was walking down the hall, he concentrated on the thought of what just happened. When he was down the hall from Tim's room, he turned around and headed back towards the room. Halfway to the door, he saw Spence opening the door to the room for Beth to walk in first. After seeing that, he turned and walked away.

Inside the room, as Beth and Spence were walking towards Tiffany, Tiffany said, "I believe that you were right about Barry, Beth."

As Beth was stepping up, she asked, "What do you mean?"

"Barry was here a short time ago and I can tell in his eyes that he is curious about why I asked him to leave," said Tiffany. "I tried to use Tim's chickenpox for the reason that I wanted him to go, but he made out that he's been inoculated for everything. The only reason he would be inoculated for everything is if he traveled the world."

"Traveling the world doesn't mean much though," said Beth.

"True, but it does help support what you said though," said Tiffany.

"Well, until there's concrete proof of him being a terrorist, there's nothing we can do," said Beth. "Accusing him openly would only warn all involved that the authorities are on to them."

Tiffany noticed Spence stepping up to Tim's bed and said, "Spence, for what I remember, you never had the chickenpox, so you might not want to get too close."

"Beth gave me the chickenpox vaccine," said Spence as Tim was about to sit up.

As Tiffany stepped up and was getting Tim to remain where he is, Beth said, "That's not a guarantee that you won't get the chickenpox though. If you want, I can go get you gloves and a surgical mask."

"I'll just keep my distance," said Spence. He then focused on Tim. "How're doing little buddy."

Tim held out his hands to be picked up and said, "Hold."

"I can't buddy," said Spence. "You have to stay there so you can get better."

Tiffany held the teddy bear to where Tim could see and said, "Look. Teddy wants you to hold him."

As Tim was taking the teddy bear, Spence asked, "How is Tim doing anyway?"

"The nurse took his temperature about ten minutes ago and he still has a fever, but it's down from what it was," said Tiffany. "That bear you gave him, Beth, is working wonders on his mood. He hasn't cried since he woke up."

Beth grinned and said, "I'm glad."

"The way he befriended that teddy bear, you will be making my mom jealous," said Tiffany.

Beth looked at Tiffany in a curious manner and asked, "Why's that?"

"My mom bought Tim a teddy bear for his first birthday," said Tiffany. "He plays with it now and then, but he's never held on to it the way he's doing the one that you got him. In fact I never seen him hold on to any of his toys the way he's doing that teddy bear. He's even talks to that bear as if he's talking a person. Of course you can't understand what he says though."

"He just has a friend that went though what he went through," said Beth. "Otherwise he probably wouldn't have befriended the bear the way he did."

"What are you talking about, Beth?" asked Spence.

Before Beth was able to answer, Tiffany said, "Beth hooked the bear up to an IV while Timothy was watching and that actually help to comfort him when it was his turn to be hooked up to an IV."

"Okay, I would have never thought that hooking a teddy bear up to an IV would comfort him like that," said Spence.

Beth grinned and said, "I picked up a few tricks on how to care for kids."

"I've seen how well you are with Tim and you actually seem naturally good with kids," said Tiffany.

"Actually I owe my skill of how to handle kids to my grandma… my mom's mom and my mom's sister, April" said Beth.

"Why is that?" asked Spence.

"I would watch my grandma on how she handled kids when she babysat," Beth began. "She babysat a lot of the neighboring kids along with me, my brothers and my cousins before I was fifteen. A few weeks after I turned fifteen, my Aunt April turned my grandma's three-story house into a licensed daycare center and merged my grandma's babysitting with her daycare." Tiffany just stood back and listened. "During my summer vacations from school and on the weekends during the school year, I worked for them so I had plenty of practice with caring for young kids."

"I think I know where that daycare is," said Spence. "Your grandma doesn't live there now though, does she?"

Beth shook head and said, "No. My grandma moved across town one year after the daycare business was started. That house is now solely a daycare."

"So what did you do at the daycare?" asked Spence.

"I read to the kids under six and played board games to the ones who were six and older," said Beth. "I changed diapers. I prepared food for them. I've painted and drew pictures with them. I basically did it all. Oh and I had taught a few of the pre-school age kids how to read."

"So how long did you work there for?" asked Spence.

"For seven years," said Beth.

"Did you ever work anywhere else besides the daycare center and here?" asked Spence.

"Yeah; in fact I had to," said Beth.

"What do you mean that you had to?" asked Spence.

"Well, my grandma paid half of the tuition and I paid for the other half," said Beth. "During medical school, paying for my half was becoming a problem, so I had to get a better paying job and one to where I could work around my classes. My Aunt Melissa knew someone at the coroner's office and she was able to get me a job interview working as the coroner's assistant. I got the job and I work as an assistant for fourteen months. When I graduation medical school and became an intern I quit as the coroner's assistant."

"Does your mom also work at the daycare?" asked Spence.

"No, in fact my mom thought that my grandma and my aunt starting a daycare was a joke," said Beth.

"They have a good income from that don't they?" asked Spence.

"Oh yeah, they turn over a nice profit each year," said Beth. "In fact in the first five years three other people had to be hired to keep up with the number of kids that they were getting."

"I bet your mom doesn't see that business as a joke now," said Spence.

"No, but she still disapproves of it," said Beth.

"Why's that?" asked Spence.

"My mom's opinion pretty much duplicates her dad's opinion and his opinion is of a sexist jerk," said Beth.

"I'm not sure if I know what you mean," said Spence.

"My grandpa was a wealthy man and he strongly felt that as long as he had his wealth, my grandma shouldn't work," said Beth. "When my grandpa died, my grandma still had plenty of money to where she was set for life without working. So my grandma didn't become partners in a daycare business because she needed the money. She done it because she wanted something to do, and my mom thinks that it is ridiculous for my grandma to work."

"Does your mom work?" asked Tiffany.

"Yeah, my mom is actually a lawyer that deals with big business contracts," said Beth. "Oh, my mom's dad was a big time defense lawyer and the third generation of lawyers. My mom only became a lawyer so the generations of lawyers wouldn't die with my grandpa; otherwise she wouldn't even work. However, it's going to die anyway with my mom."

"So your mom probably thinks that your Aunt April shouldn't work either," said Spence.

Beth grinned and said, "You're catching on."

"Is your Aunt April your mom's only sibling?" asked Tiffany.

"No, my mom has five sisters and no bothers," said Beth. "My mom is the third oldest."

"Wow, having that many siblings is rare in this day and age," said Tiffany.

"My grandpa was determined to have a son to carry on the legacy," said Beth. "In fact he wanted to continue trying, but my grandma finally had enough of being pregnant and refused to have anymore kids. My Aunt Melissa said that when her mom stood up to her dad about not having more kids, that it was a monumental occasion."

"So what are your aunts' names?" asked Spence.

"From oldest to youngest their names are Aunt Melissa, Aunt Brittany, my mom Valerie, Aunt Ruby, Aunt April and Aunt Jennifer," said Beth. "Oh and all my aunts have careers. My dad also has five siblings; two sisters and three brothers. Their names in order starting from the oldest are Aunt Cleona, Aunt Eleanor, Uncle Clifford, Uncle Brant, Uncle Archer and then my dad Nicolas. Oh and their dad's name was also name Clifford."

"I bet you have a lot of cousins," said Spence.

Beth grinned and said, "On my mom's side, I have five older cousins and seven younger cousins. I don't know about my dad's sided of the family because of a twenty-year-old family feud between my dad and his siblings." Before anyone had a chance to say anything else, Beth's beeper sounded. She looked at the beeper. "I'm being paged to the O.R."

"Beth, before you leave, I actually want to tell you and Spence something while I have you both in the same room," said Tiffany. Beth and Spence looked at Tiffany in a curious manner.

"What is it?" asked Beth.

"Beth as you well know, Tim is in that development phase when he figures out who is who," Tiffany began. "And in spite me wanting to dislike you, Beth, I can't." Beth grinned. "You seem to be a kind and caring person and if things work out between you and Spence, I know you'll make a great step-mom to Tim."

Beth put up a finger for Tiffany to wait a second and said, "Okay, that's way too soon to be talking like that."

Tiffany grinned and said, "Beth, what I'm trying to say is that, I'm Tim's mom and I'm the only one I want him calling mom."

Beth grinned and nodded. She then said, "When it comes to Tim, I will cooperate with you fully."

"Thank you," said Tiffany.

"You're welcomed," said Beth. She then gestured towards the door. "I really do need to get going."

Tiffany nodded and said, "Bye."

Overlapping what Tiffany was saying Spence said, "I'll see you later."

Beth slightly grinned at Spence and said, "See you." She then turned towards the door and walked out.

As the door closed behind Beth, Tiffany said, "I'm glad that you're moving on and found someone like Beth to be with."

Spence looked at Tiffany in a curious manner for a second. He then politely grinned and said, "Thanks."

Minutes later, Rebecca was standing at the nurse's station and noticed Beth as she was walking up. As Beth stepped up, Rebecca said, "Dr. O'Brian, the children's hospital is back in operation. I need all available staff members to help get the kids ready to be moved so they can return to the children's hospital."

"Yes, Dr. Eisen," said Beth. "Where do you want me to begin?'

Rebecca handed Beth a list of names to prepare to be moved and said, "Here is a list of kids I want you to prepare."

Beth quickly read over the list and said, "I'll get right on it."

"Before you do that you should know that I heard about you kissing your boyfriend in the emergency reception area," said Rebecca. Beth looked at Rebecca in a timid manner. "I have no problems with you two greeting each other or saying goodbye with a quick kiss, but I do want you to keep it out of the public's eye in the emergency reception area."

"Yes, Dr. Eisen," said Beth. She then turned and walked away.

Rebecca, with a slight grin on her face, watched Beth walking away for a second. She then refocused on what she was previously doing.

An hour later, at 1:00 P. M., Sally was signing Archer's hospital released forms. Beth knew that Archer was being released and instead of getting out of her scrubs to go home, she made sure that she was able to be there to say goodbye to her uncle.

On board the Galactica, Casimir Spike, a resident of the ship the Solar Flare, had been called to the Galactica to help translate the Greys' language. He had listened to a few minutes of the recording and in a short time he was able to match several words from the Greys' language to the ancient language before the final armistice of the thirteen tribes. Lt. Gaeta had a copy of the recording also and was using a program that made a printout of the dialogue in triple space.

Casimir had watched twenty minutes of the recording when Lt. Gaeta walked in with his printout and handed it to Casimir. Casimir wrote the translated words above the ancient words that he knew. Once all of the words that he knew were translated, Casimir and Lt. Gaeta worked on translating the rest of the text by using the same method they would use to break a coded message. They worked on the translation for two hours and after finishing, they took it to Cmdr. Adama in CIC.

Col. Tigh, Casimir and Lt. Gaeta were standing next to Cmdr. Adama as he read the translation. While he was reading, he shook his head in disgust.

"From your reaction, you must have found something disturbing," said Col. Tigh.

"That space station was orbiting Earth at the time of the American Civil War," Cmdr. Adama began. "They had been abducting humans in large numbers from all over the planet and during that time they didn't duplicate them or released them. There was a controversy among the Greys at what they were doing and the Greys who wanted to end the abductions were inspired by the American Civil War."

"Let me guess, those Greys started a civil war of their own," said Col. Tigh.

"They did and their observatory was caught in the cross fire," said Cmdr. Adama. "When the shooting started the captain of the observatory withdrew the observatory at its fastest speed. The Greys flew the observatory to be where it is resting now; erased or at least tried to erase its computers; shut down its systems and abandoned it. "

"So restoring the navigation files would be what we should be concentrating on," said Col. Tigh.

"I agree," said Cmdr. Adama. "The trick now is to figure out which files would be the navigation file."

"Commander, I know I'm not military, but perhaps I can go to the observatory and help to identify the correct files," said Casimir.

"I do have to admit that you're the most qualified person in the fleet for that," said Cmdr. Adama. "You have my permission join the team."

"Thank you, Commander," said Casimir.

"In fifteen minutes, report to the hanger deck and you might be away from the fleet for a few days, so you may want to get a message to your son," said Cmdr. Adama.

"Yes, Commander," said Casimir.
