In the same time Laura started walking around the room with hands wrapped around her arms. Bill was watching her. Her curly red hair were hanging to the back. She was wearing a deep red blouse and black suit. From the look on her face he knew that the whole Quorum meeting and Zerek speech had pissed her off. And it wasn't good. The pissed off President wasn't the most pleasure one.

"Are you going to say something?" She looked at him with curious. " Frakking Zerek. Frakking Quorum. When woman doesn't have a man by her side she is nothing. This is what they are trying to say. I'm nothing to them because I'm a woman. A frakking woman! Frakking men world."

Yes, she was very pissed off. " I have never seen you like this." He said trying to make her calm down.

"Well, Admiral." She accentuated his rang. "I feel like one of those women from past whose parents have arranged a marriage for her without telling her. And I am the President, how can I supposed to lead the fleet with husband! No offence Admiral."

"No offence taken." He smiled to her. There was a sparkle inside of him, a hope that Laura would marry him. When she will, he would be the luckiest man in the universe. He was in love with her, and he had a hope that she loves him too. "Look at this from the other side. You could end up with someone like Zerek!" Admiral pointed out.

"This is not funny Admiral!" she turned to face him. He wasn't laughing or giggling his face was serious. He looked more like hurt.

"Think about it. We will be married only in the name. But we will be stronger together. No one will hurt you and…" he stopped.

"And?" she looked at him and demanded the answer. He took a one step and came closer to her. Then he placed a hand over her shoulder. She was surprised by his touch, but she didn't do nothing to let on.

"… and you will get a rid of the Quorum's complaining. The press will stop talking about our 'affair'. And Zerek, of course will be kept away from you." He added, but this wasn't what we want to tell her. And I will be the happiest man in the universe. She didn't respond. "I think that marriage with me can't be that bad, can be?"

"Hmm… You're right. Marriage only in the name?"

"That's right Madam President." He smiled to her and she smiled back.

"Ok. First of all you have to stop calling me Madam President. It would be a little odd, don't you think? Especially when you'll start calling me like that in a bed."

Oh, so now you want share a bed with me. " I swore that you want a marriage in the name only!" He teased and looked at her face. Yeah definitely, we will be a good marriage. " So you want do this or not?"

"You know Admiral. I think I've heard a better proposals. So you better try something more romantic."

"Oh I see. Should I kneel down and get you a frakking diamond ring on your finger?" he teased her and she started to giggle.

"No. That wouldn't be necessary."

"So I would ask you again. Laura Roslin will you marry me?"

"Yes Bill, I will marry you." She grinned and took the arm which he offered her. They left the room and went to the briefing room when the Quorum had been waiting.

After an hour they came back to his quarter. The Quorum had seemed to be happy when they told them about their decision. They gave them some time to chose the date and planed the weeding. Neither of them wanted a big wedding but the Quorum insisted. And now they have only a three weeks to plan their big day. Laura sat on a coach when Bill prepared a drinks. He took two glasses with Ambrosia to hand and gave one of them to Laura. Then he moved toward to bookcase. Next to the books was a box with vinyl plates. Bill took one of them and placed in the record player situated next to the lamp. The music started to play. He turned around and looked at the President, now his fiancée. I like the way it's sound. My fiancée. Laura Roslin, my fiancée. And for a couple of weeks she will be my wife Laura Roslin-Adama. Laura Adama. Yeah, it's sound good. He thought to himself with a grin on his face. She closed her eyes and started swing to the rhythm of the music. He was watching her. She was the most beautiful and powerful woman he had ever know. Laura took of her shoes and pulled her bare feet on the sofa. Then she take a gulp of Ambrosia and looked at the Admiral. Her Admiral. Roslin told to herself. She noticed that he was staring at her. Roslin smiled to him and placed her right hand on the sofa, subtle ordering him to sit down beside her. When he took her invitation she turned her face to him. Taking a gulp of Ambrosia she started talking.

"You know, we have to start planning our wedding. Well, maybe not planning but establish certain important issues associated with it."

"Like what? Laura do you really want talking about wedding cake right now?" he looked at her and saw that his word hit her in some way. Good job Admiral, really good job. Now she probably thinking that you don't want to marry her but only satisfy the Quorum. He looked at her and saw that she turned away. He raised his hand and placed on her chin. "Hey it's not that I don't want to plan this wedding, but I think you and Tory would do it better. And if you be need my help, I will be right beside you, ok?"she nodded.

Three weeks had passed very quickly. Laura, Tory and Kara with Dee were planning the Admiral and President's weeding when Adama was busy keeping fleet safely. When everything had been ready girls planned the President's stage night. Starbuck and Dee got together all female personnel from Colonial One and most of Galactica to the mess hall. She closed the hatch with the piece of paper 'Women only' on the other side. Tory had been responsible for bringing Laura. So now she was walking with her boss though the hallway.

"Tory could you please tell me what it is going on? And why I have to had my eyes close?"

"Don't worry Madam President. It is a surprise. By the way we are close." Tory smiled. When they reached to the hatch she knocked twice and then the hatch opened. They came in and the hatch had closed. "Ok, now Madam President you can open your eyes."

"Oh Lords. You did this?" she asked when she opened eyes. She looked around. The room was decorated with all kind of switchbacks and balloons. There was also a big banner with her and Admiral names. Then she looked at Tory, Dee and Kara. All three of them nodded. Tears came to her eyes. She pulled the three young women with a hug and she politely thank them.

"Ok. Let's have a fun." Said Kara and took a glass with booze from lieutenant Agathon and gave it to Laura. "Now Madam President, I think we should give you some advice. You are marrying the Old Man after all! But first we're drinking ladies!"

Starbuck and the other women were a little bit drunk. They were laughing and exchange stories about Old Man and the Galactica crew. Laura was sitting next to Dee and giggling with her future step-daughter-in-law. Yeah that's a definitely the best evening which she had from the New Caprica' s groundbreaking ceremony. Tory replace her glass with booze to a water, because they didn't want her to be drunk on her own wedding.

"May I have your attention, please!" Said Kara. She was standing on the table and trying to calm down all women. "Hey shut up. I have something to tell you!" she looked at Roslin. " Ok, now Laura. You won't airlock me if I call you Laura, right?"

"No." she smiled to the blond woman.

"Right, so we have a gifts for you. It's a wedding gift from all of us and the second one is from me. Ok girls, show time." Two women brought a big white box and gave it to Laura. Roslin stood up from the chair and came closer to the box.

"Open it." She heard Cally's voice. Laura untied the big red bow and took off the lid. Next she unwrapped the paper and took out a stand with wedding dress. The President looked at the dress. It was a simply dress with sequins on the bust and some gold patterns on the straps . It wasn't long but on the other hand it wasn't too short. Madam President was completely enchanted and delight by the gift.

"Oh Lords. It's perfect. How did you find it?"

"Well we didn't exactly find it. We made it. All of us." Tory explained and Laura seemed to be even by more excited with the dress. " Well Dee found the material, which Cally sew up together, Starbuck designed it, Racetrack and some other girls decorated it with the sequins and I found the shoes." She gave her a white high-heeled shoes which were a perfect match to the dress. Laura didn't know what to say, she was surprised and amazed. The tears flowed to her eyes. She smiled to all women.

"Thank you. All of you. I'm touch by your gift." She put the dress to the box and hugged all of the women. When she pull away from the last hug, Starbuck gave her another one box. This was smaller than the other one before. She opened the lid. Inside of the box was a letter. She took her glasses and put it on her nose, then she read the letter in quite.

"Well what do you think?" Kara asked with a big smirk on her face. Laura slowly unwrapped the paper and draw out the sexy red nightgown.

"Now I think I will throw you away by the nearest airlock!" she said with her jaw dropped to the floor. She looked at Kara. The young Viper's pilot was frozen. " I'm kidding!" Everybody started laughing. Kara still looked pale.
