A.N.-Sorry it is another short chapter. There should be another one soon.

CHAPTER-9

After getting Lee riled up in the swing by running her hands through the hair on the back of his neck she leaned over to nibble on his ear and after feeling him lengthen and become hard she stood up and pulled him along behind her to their bedroom.

Lee followed her willingly, but couldn't help but wonder why she had wanted sex so much, not that he was complaining.

Kara let go of his hand and undressed leaving only her black lace panties on because she knew Lee loved to take them off himself and climbed into the bed holding the sheet open for him.

Lee undressed quickly climbing under the sheet with her and pulled her close leaning over and kissing her as he ran his hand down her side until he reached those adorable panties and slid them down as far as he could then used his foot to push them off, all the while still kissing her.

It wasn't enough for Kara, so she pushed him onto his back and climbed on top of him slowly rubbing her body against his.

Kara smiled hearing him moaning her name so she grabbed him and raised up enough and guided him into her as she slid slowly onto him, it was too much for Lee " Stay still a second Kara, please " he begged.

Kara did as he asked and lowered her chest to his for a minute before sitting up and riding him fast and hard.

After Kara did it her way they rested, then Lee took her slow, kissing every inch of her body until she was begging for more " I need you inside of me now Lee "

Later he held her next to him " Are you sure you are okay Kara, you seem different?"

Kara raised up to look at him " Are you complaining Lee?"

Lee smirked " You know I'm not Kara, I am just worried "

Kara needed to change the subject " Captain Davis called and said he had added a second team in case Mike and I were busy " Kara paused a beat " He also said no one other than your family can know I am a sniper for security reasons and I have to meet Mike in the morning at a private shooting range for practice "

Lee thought about that for a minute, curious how Kara felt about being a sniper " Kara, could you kill someone without knowing who or why?"

Kara had to remind herself that Lee didn't know her very well " Yes Lee, because I am military just like you and I follow orders, besides I also work for the government and I vowed to protect the government officials as well as the upper military brass and it's citizens when I became a sniper "

Lee nodded even though he didn't understand how she could do that, he kissed her quickly and got up " Okay, why don't you take a nap while I fix dinner "

Kara smirked " You are still spoiling me Lee, but I am tired, so I will rest, but I am cleaning up after dinner "

Lee got dressed and turned to find Kara already asleep.

[BREAK]*************************************************************************************

When Kara woke up early the next morning Lee was still in a deep sleep. It was not surprising because after cleaning up the dinner dishes she had drug him back to bed and had worn him out.

Kara liked sex, but never to this extreme, she figured it must be her hormones because she couldn't seem to get enough of Lee.

After dressing she grabbed her rifle which she kept locked up in a closet safe and silently left to meet Mike.

During the drive to the private range she tried to come up with a way of gently breaking the news to Lee this weekend. Every idea she came up with didn't feel right, but she had to tell him one way or another.

As she pulled in she saw Mike was already there and setting up. Kara got out and grabbed her rifle and went to meet him. " Gods, you would think the Captain could have let us sleep in a little longer "

Mike turned to look at her " Good morning Starbuck " he said cheerfully.

Kara frowned " Oh gods, you must be a morning person "

Mike smiled " Guilty as charged "

Kara smirked " Right, so what's on the agenda for the day?"

Mike went back to setting up the tripod " The Captain wants you to shoot at five, eight and a thousand yards, until you can do it perfectly "

Kara frowned " Is something going to happen soon?"

Mike shrugged " You know they won't tell us that until it happens, but if I had to guess I would say it is "

Kara thought so also and while she sighted in her rifle Mike went to set up the targets, Kara also could feel a slight crosswind which would make shooting more difficult.

As soon as Mike made it back she set up and started with the closest target moving on after hitting the five and eight hundred marks several times without incident.

The thousand yard mark caused her problems and took her longer before she managed to hit it four times in a row. Kara glanced at her watch and realized it was now one o'clock. " I think that's enough for today Mike "

Mike stopped Kara before she could turn " I didn't tell you before, but a couple of President Adar's security men have been watching us "

Kara knew not to look " I have a feeling this training mission is because Adar has received threats and the Captain needs us to be ready "

Mike nodded " Don't worry Kara you are a good sniper, you will get the job done if something happens "

Kara chuckled " I don't like Adar, so let's just hope I don't decide to take him out "

Mike grabbed her arm tight " Kara you can't say things like that the government has ears everywhere just like the military "

Kara sobered up when Mike pointed it out to her " Gods Mike, I'm just kidding "

They finished packing up and left, Kara never saw who was watching them.

[BREAK]************************************************************************************

When Kara got home she put her rifle away and went looking for Lee. She found him standing in the middle of the back yard. Just as she was going to meet him she noticed a lounger on the back porch and smiled at the memory of falling asleep in the one Caroline had and the picture she had of Lee asleep in it.

She stepped off the porch and walked up behind him wrapping her arms around him " Why are you standing out here Lee?"

Lee turned until he was facing her placing his hands on her hips " I was thinking of making a flower bed with a pond in the center of it "

Kara couldn't help but smile " Lee you do know we are only renting this place and next year we will be on battlestars "

Lee kissed the tip of her nose " I know, but it is still our first home and we will be here for at least a year and I want us to enjoy it while we are here "

Kara snorted " Fine, but just so you know I don't know anything about flowers or ponds "

Lee had a thought " While I fix up the backyard you can paint or write whatever you want, deal?"

Kara nodded " Lee I don't really write, that was during a dark period in my life, but I will paint, you just remember you said I could paint whatever I wanted "

Lee let go of her hips and grabbed her hand as they walked back to the house " Why don't we go out tonight and have a few drinks, I know you must miss that " Lee remembered hearing all about Kara's drinking and fighting last year.

Kara stumbled when he said that, she knew she had to come up with an excuse " Maybe after this weekend, I'm pretty wiped out from target practicing "

Lee hadn't thought about that " Okay we will have something delivered, besides we have to leave for moms in the morning "

When they reached the house Lee sat down on the lounger " Lee I am going to take a shower and lay down for a while, wake me up when the food gets here "

Lee still thought Kara was acting strange, but he didn't say anything " Okay "

Kara leaned down and kissed him lightly " Thanks " and she headed off to the shower.

While she showered she prayed that what she told Lee wouldn't tear them apart, because she knew she was going to have the baby.

Lee woke her later and they sat at the table and ate overlooking the backyard. Neither had much to say, for that Kara was grateful. Her thoughts were on letting the OCS know that she would be attending pregnant.

At least Caroline had said she would take care of the baby while she served her two years on a battlestar. Kara was afraid of what Lee would think about that. Surely he wouldn't want her to give up her career, but in the end the decision would be hers.

Lee's thoughts were on trying to find out from his mom if she had any idea what was bothering Kara.

After they finished eating they both cleaned up and when Lee went to shower Kara got into bed even though it was still early.

Lee was surprised to find Kara already in the bed after he got out of the shower. Instead of questioning her he told her he was going to watch TV for a while.

When Lee finally crawled into bed he lay on his side and pulled her into his arms holding her as she slept.

While Lee had been watching TV Kara started feeling overwhelmed and cried silently. She had quit before he came to bed and even though she was awake she pretended she was asleep instead of facing him. Kara finally fell asleep nestled in Lee's arms and he soon followed.

Kara felt a little better when she woke up the next morning and decided to wake Lee by placing light kisses on his shoulders and then his neck before heading to his mouth. She was shocked when Lee kissed her first.

He wasn't playing, she knew because he kissed her deeply and almost roughly as he moved his body over hers. Without saying a word he touched her in all the right places driving her insane with the need for him to make love with her. When he finally entered her she came fast, but he kept going pulling almost out of her before plunging back in. This time when she came he was right there with her. " My gods Lee what got into you this morning?"

Lee fell to the side breathing fast still " I can't seem to get enough of you Kara, you are like a drug and I am addicted to you "

Kara chuckled " I don't think, no I know I have never been referred to as an addiction, but I understand I feel the same way about you and I want you to remember that "

Lee turned his head to look at her " Why would you say that?"

Kara slapped his chest lightly " We need to get up and shower if we are going to make it to your moms for lunch "

Lee stood up and pulled her up to him " We are showering together this morning Kara, I missed you last night "

Kara snorted " Fine, but just a shower nothing else " she trotted off ahead of him.

Lee grinned and whispered " There will definitely be something else "

Finally they were on their way after Lee got what he wanted.

[BREAK]*************************************************************************************

When they arrived at Caroline's they both grabbed their duffel bags before heading inside.

Caroline met them at the door and pulled Kara into a hug making sure to whisper " It will be okay Kara "

Kara hugged her back then stepped back so Lee could hug his mom. " Hey mom it's good to see you "

Caroline stepped back and grabbed Kara's bag passing it to Lee " Put those in your room while Kara and I go to the kitchen "

Lee stood still not sure what his mom meant " Aren't I sleeping downstairs?"

Caroline snorted " Lee you two live together for gods sake, did you think I would make you sleep apart?"

Lee muttered " As a matter of fact yes "

Kara broke in " Lee put our bags upstairs like your mom told you " Then she walked off toward the kitchen leaving Lee no choice but to do as he was told. Lee had a fleeting thought that his mom was acting different also.

Caroline entered the kitchen only to find Kara looking out at the lake " How have you been feeling Kara?"

Kara turned to answer her " I have stopped throwing up, other than that I have been worried sick about telling Lee "

Caroline motioned to the stool " Sit down Kara, when the time is right you will know when to tell him "

Before anything else was said Lee walked in and sat at the counter by Kara " Where is Zak I thought he would be home?"

Caroline was rooting around in the fridge as she answered him " Zak is staying with a friend this weekend, so it will just be us "

Caroline started placing things on the counter explaining as she did " I made a fresh fruit salad without nuts and homemade chicken salad which is good with saltines or bread and I thought I would make chicken soup for dinner"

Kara had grabbed a slice of apple and was commenting " Hmm " a couple of times as Caroline talked. Next she grabbed a piece of melon and was really enjoying it.

Lee was caught between amused and stunned at Kara's reaction " Would you like a plate Kara?"

Kara looked over at Lee, then the melon she held, then at Caroline " I am so sorry Caroline it has been a while since I had fresh fruit "

Caroline glared at Lee " Kara can eat however she wants to, but you will use a plate "

When Caroline turned away Kara stuck her tongue out at Lee and whispered " I am special "

Lee snorted and reached for a spoonful of the fruit salad only to have Kara slap at his hand " Don't touch the melon Lee it is mine "

Caroline laughed as she sat down, she chose to eat a sandwich leaving the fruit for Kara " Lee if you don't mind I need you to mow the grass this weekend "

Lee knew his mother used someone in the neighborhood to mow, it made him wonder once again what was going on, but he couldn't refuse " I don't mind mom, I'll get started after lunch "

Kara laughed " It will be good practice Lee since you will have to mow ours " Kara paused then looked at Caroline " Lee has decided to put a pond and flowers in our backyard "

Lee snorted " Kara said she knows nothing about ponds or flowers, so we made a deal, she is going to paint murals on some of our walls, she is actually very good at it "

Caroline seemed concerned " Just make sure you use paint that doesn't have odor or chemicals Kara "

Lee thought the comment was odd, but since he knew nothing about paint he chose to stay silent.

Kara seemed to understand what his mom meant " I know "

Kara knew Caroline was trying to give her an opening, but she wasn't ready " Lee I will help your mom clean up while you start mowing "

And just like that Lee knew he was supposed to leave them alone.

After he got up he leaned down and kissed Kara on the cheek before leaving.

Kara and Caroline had finished cleaning up just as they heard the lawnmower start in the backyard.

Kara walked to the window and looked out at him " I'll tell him tonight Caroline "

Before Caroline could comment Kara's phone rang " Hello "

Caroline could only hear Kara's side of the conservation " It is happening right now?"

Kara glanced at Caroline " I am leaving now, if I push it I should be there in twenty "

Kara hung up and faced Caroline " I have to go, there is a hostage situation at one of the government buildings and they need me, please don't tell Lee until you have to "

Caroline grabbed her hand " Kara you are pregnant and it sounds dangerous "

Kara patted her hand " Caroline I will be hundreds of yards away, no one will even know I'm there "

Kara quickly hugged her and grabbed her keys trotting out the front door.

[BREAK]*************************************************************************************

As Kara got into her truck she thanked the gods she remembered to pack her rifle, it was now a part of her life.

When Kara arrived in Caprica she went to her designated spot where Mike was waiting for her " What's the situation look like?"

Mike looked at her " Tom Zarek has taken several government officials hostage "

Kara remembered hearing things about Zarek and they weren't good " What are his demands?"

Mike shrugged " They told me it was none of our business "

Kara thought as much " What are our orders?"

Mike frowned " To kill Zarek no matter what, even if it means innocents get caught in the crossfire "

Kara shrugged " Mike we knew this might happen when we signed up, do I have a clear shot?"

Mike nodded and began setting up and checking wind gauges while Kara locked her tripod down and loaded her gun after mounting it. " Let's pray Zarek is the only one who dies today "

[BREAK]*************************************************************************************

Caroline was a nervous wreck as she kept watching Lee wondering how she was going to tell him.

She finally turned the TV on knowing the reporters would be all over the story.

Caroline was so engrossed in listening to them talk about Zarek she completely forgot about Lee until he walked up behind her. " What is going on mom?"

Caroline was so startled she jumped straight up " Frak Lee, you scared me half to death "

Lee looked around " Where is Kara?"

Caroline sighed " Sit down Lee "

Lee sat only because he knew his mom was upset.

Caroline turned the TV down " There is a hostage situation and Kara got called in "

Lee didn't react like Caroline thought he would " She will be okay mom, Kara will be far enough away so she won't be in danger, besides she was trained for this and beat out everyone else in her class and Mike is with her "

Caroline knew she shouldn't tell him, but after Kara probably ended up killing Zarek today she would not be able to handle this on top of that. Caroline decided it would be better if Kara was mad at her " Lee I need to tell you something, Kara was going to tonight, but I don't think she can handle it after today "

Lee was getting scared, of what he didn't know " Mom please tell me "

Caroline tried to start, but hesitated " Lee first you have to understand Kara is afraid you will hate her when you find out, she loves you so much Lee and she is happy about the situation "

Lee stood up and started pacing " For fraks sake tell me now mom "

Caroline stood also " Lee, Kara is two months pregnant "

The next sound was a gunshot from a high powerful weapon coming from the TV.
