Bill started walking through his quarter. He was anxious. The Vice-President didn't call him back as he said. Lee left about half an hour ago to make sure that the press would be staying away from the sickbay and Laura. The Admiral stopped for a moment. Looked around and noticed the book which Laura gave him several days ago. He came closer to the table and take a book to his hands. He opened it and then he heard the phone.

"Adama, go." He answered the phone.

"Sir the Vice-President and the Quorum' s shuttle is asking for a permission to land." He heard Dee's voice.

"Permission granted. Tell Lee that I expect him and the President in briefing room in 5 minutes. Adama out." And then he hang up the phone and move to the door. He left a cabin and went to the hangar deck.

Lee and the President were walking through the hallways of Galactica. He had to escort President to the briefing room. So now he was walking beside her and smiling. He was thinking about his last conversation with the Admiral. He wouldn't mind if Laura and his father get married. He likes Madam President, considered her like a friend, an idol. He was pissed off when he found out, but only because his father didn't tell him all by himself. The more he think about it the more he was happy. He want his father to be happy, and when he was looking at him with Laura, he was more than happy.

"Major what is going on? Why your father insist on this meeting? And why the frakking press was waiting for us at the Life Station's doorway?" she asked. She was pissed off, not that she would mind escaping from Cottle and his needles, but pissed off because she wasn't in control now. She was the frakking President of The Twelve Colonies of Kobol and she wasn't controlling the situation at the moment. Yeah, that was really frakking annoying!

"I'm sorry, Ma'am but I can't tell you. I promise that my father and the Quorum will answer your questions."

"The Quorum? Lee now I'm scared."

"Relax Madam President. Nothing had happened, anyway nothing bad. This is good thing for the fleet, the Admiral… and you, Madam President. Anyway I hope it is."

He smiled and stopped next to the door. He opened the hatch and give her 'after you' look. She came in and then he locked the hatch waiting outside.

She enter to the briefing room. She looked around and saw all Quorum of Twelve. They were discussing quite loudly. She looked further and saw the Admiral. She smiled to him and began moving closer when the Vice-President cleared his throat make the delegates stop talking.

"I think we should start before Dr Cottle will realize that President Roslin escape from sickbay" Zerek announce and looked at her and the Admiral with smirk.

"Ok. Before we start I want know what exactly is going on? And why The Admiral is somehow involved with this meeting?"

"Please have a sit. We'll explain you everything." He said and looked at the President and Admiral and noticed that neither Adama nor Roslin trusted him. Once the two leaders were seated, Zerek resumed his speech. "It's common knowledge that you two have recently had a harsh disagreement regarding decisions. Not that they are annoying, but… Are either of you aware that whenever you two have a monumental disagreement, the colonists and even the military seem to dividing? The fleet is picking the sides and you know how it's usually ends. Do I need remind you about what happened with Kobol?"He stopped and took a deep breath. " Secondly I and some of the delegates too noticed that you two have a little 'thing' for each other. If I can name it a little, as a matter of fact it is something bigger than that."

"Could you get to the point, Mr. Vice-President?"she was a little worried and anxious, he noticed that. He was about to resume his speech when one of the delegates interrupted him.

"Madam President the Quorum decided that you as the President of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol should be an example to everybody in this fleet. What we are trying to say is that you and the Admiral should have been involved somehow with the government and the people. You are the leaders of the fleet. You should show them 'the perfect life of the citizen', the trust and hope for better life. If you know what I mean." She nodded as the Picon delegate continued. "We arranged this meeting because of today's events. As you know Mr. Zerek was speaking with the press and told them something that we should discus with you first, Madam President."

"As a matter of the fact I was lying in sickbay, so I have no idea what Mr. Zerek told the press after Quorum's morning meeting."

"He said that we are engaged." Adama interjected. Roslin turned around and looked at the Quorum and then at the Admiral.

"He DID WHAT?"

"I know, I was shocked too." She looked at the Zerek and gave him 'I just wanna kill you' look. She was waiting for his apologizes to what he done.

"No offence Madam President, but the press is talking about your affair with the Admiral so I saved your ass."

"Pay attentions to the words Zerek, because you are talking to the President and if you don't stop I will throw you away through the nearest airlock."

"Is that a threat Admiral?" Zerek asked when he came closer to Bill.

"Gentlemen please. I'm pretty sure that we have an important thing to discus." She stepped between the Admiral and the Vice-President. They stepped back so she looked at the Picon delegate and order him to continued.

"As I said we should had told you first. We were voting at the morning meeting and all Quorum was too your marriage with the Admiral. We think that The President of the Twelve Colonis shouldn't be alone. You ought to have somebody who will rely on and who will be representing a military and the government with you. When we discussed the advantages and disadvantages of your future marriage we decided that you and the Admiral will be a perfect match."

"What about the protocol? The President is my boss so this relationship will be against the colonial articles and the military protocol." Said Adama. He knew that this isn't a problem to the President and the Quorum. If they are ok with this, of course.

"Admiral please. You and the President broke so much of the protocol that nobody really care if you will break one more."

"And it's not like we expect you two making out through the corridors like horny teenagers. The wedding and acknowledgment that you two are espoused to each other would be sufficient."

"You two are already friends so the marriage in the name wouldn't be so hard for you." pointed the Arleon's delegate.

"Ok. I get your point. Now could we - I mean the Admiral and I- please be allowed some time to discuss this?

"Of course Madam President. We'll give you two fifteen minutes." The former terrorist nodded and smile to the pissed Laura. When she and the Admiral were next to the hatch Zerek smile to himself and teased. " Also if you two will be married we will be sure that you aren't Cylons either."

Roslin rolled her eyes and together with the Admiral got out from the briefing room. Lee was a little surprised.

"Is there any place that I can talk to you father for a while?" she asked him.

"This way." The young Adama lead them to the small room a few meters from the briefing room when the Quorum was waiting. When the leaders of the fleet entered, Lee closed the hatch and walked away .
