A/N: Thanks to Supernus for being my beta. With out him I couldn't do it.

Tom Zerek was walking through hallways of Galactica in anger. He didn't have a particular end of trip goal, so he just strode around glaring at random people, for about 15 minutes until no one cared anymore. Several minutes ago he had came back from Colonial One and his meeting with the President and he was still furious. She rejected his idea because it was controversial. What was more, in the Quorum's last session she had humiliated him in front of everyone! Tom added to his endless list of "what Roslin has done wrong", their last kiss. He licked his lips. She was hot and he wanted her no matter what, but he wanted her to suffer first. Suffer for everything that she had done to him, for his desire, his anger, his pain.

He turned left and almost bumped into blond lady. He looked at her, noticing she was nicely dressed and beautiful for her age. She could have been 40 or 55.

"Watch where you're going." She started angrily.

"You don't know how to talk do you, lady?" He answered.

"Yeah right. You don't know who you're talking to. I'm an Admiral's wife! So watch it."

"Admiral's wife?" he started laughing. "And you think that I would believe that crap!"

"It's not crap. I'm Carolanne Adama. And you?"

"Thomas Zerek."

"The terrorist?" she raised her eyebrow and smirked. He was dangerous and she always liked bad boys.

"It's Vice-President for you." He pointed and then smiled evilly.

"So you're going to the famous Admiral's dinner, aren't you?"

"It's none of your business." She was just like Ellen Tigh, a dangerous woman. He already liked her and he knew that together they can do many things. She could help him with that madness plan of his. He smirked, not paying attention for her words.

"If you change your mind call me." Tom passed her, but few meters later he turned around to face her and said in mocked voice. "Enjoy your dinner with the lovely president Roslin and her military toys."

Tom left her, continuing his walk.

Laura finished arranging the tableware while Bill prepared the drinks. She looked at the table and smiled. Bill took glasses with drinks into his hands and put them on the table, then stood behind his wife and wrapped his arms around her waist. Bill kissed the crook of her neck and she covered his hands with her palms and hummed.

"I didn't tell her, yet." He said kissing her neck.

"Huh?"

"Carolanne. I didn't tell her that you're my wife now."

"Your wife. Hm… I like the way that sounds." She smiled and turned around to face him. She placed her hands on his chest and looked directly at him. "But seriously is there any problem with her? I mean, well we are married but…" she didn't finish because the hatch started to open. They quickly pulled away from each other like teenagers who were afraid of being in bed.

The door opened and they saw Lee with Dualla. Laura smiled to her surrogate kids. Lee and his wife came closer and pulled the Admiral and the President into hug.

"Mom, dad." Lee said, after he pulled away from the hug. Bill smiled to him and pointed them toward free chairs at the table. They sat down at the table and looked at the plates with noodles, which were brought by the Private Jaffe five minutes ago."Well, before everyone comes, we have to tell you something, dad." Lee grasped Dee's hand and took a deep breath. Laura looked at her husband and smiled.

"Has something happened?" he asked worried.

"Don't worry. It's good news."Laura interjected.

"You know?" she only nodded and went silent.

"Well dad, you're going to be a grandpa. Dee and I are expecting a baby." Said Lee, not stopping his grinning. Bill looked at his son and daughter with tears in his eyes and grinned. A baby. Finally everything was starting to get right. His marriage, his son's marriage. His ex wife was alive and Laura was sitting right beside him squeezing his hand.

"A baby. I'll be a grandpa. Really?"

"Yeah."

"It's wonderful. I'm so happy about it. Laura I'll be a grandpa." He grinned again. He looked like a child in candy store.

"I know Bill, I know." She smiled and then she looked at Lee and Dee. "See. I told you. He wouldn't be as happy as he is now even if I give him a new Battlestar." They laughed.

Few minutes later the hatch opened again and Kara walked in with Sam and Carolanne. Laura held her breath. This was their first unofficial meeting and she was a little nervous. Bill stood up and greeted his ex wife. She smiled to him coquettishly and fluttered her eyelashes. Laura found herself watching her every move. She couldn't stop. This woman was flirting with her husband. I'm jealous! Oh Lords, first time in my whole life I'm jealous. She pointed to herself and when the Admiral sat down next to her she placed her hand on his knee.

Bill felt something on his knee. He hid his hand under the table and covered Laura's hand with his palm smiling. Laura tried to hide her emotion behind her poker face but she didn't know that in that moment she was very readable to him. Bill smirked.

The dinner was very nice. After the meal and couple of drinks, they sat down on the couch and started to catch up on old times. After almost two hours of talking their family finally started to leave, first left Kara and Sam, Laura and Bill said goodbye and made their way to the couch.

"So how are you mom?" asked Lee and looked at his father. It was a little odd talking to his mother when he had technically started to call Laura the same thing. Carolanne smiled.

"Good. Oh good. I still can't believe it. I have all my family back. My son and you Bill." Laura opened her mouth and discreetly shook her head. Carolanne smiled and took Bill and Lee's hands in hers. "Well it was great dinner, but I'm sure that you, Madam President have business to do, am I right?"

Laura opened her eyes. She couldn't believe in this. This woman wanted to get rid of her.

"Actually you're not…" Laura started. She looked at her husband and saw his plea to give him some space. She smiled sadly. "…but I do have something to give you, Dee. If you could come with me…"

"Of course, mo… Laura." She said and smiled.

Dee stood up and left the room with her step-mother-in-law. When they closed the hatch behind them, Carolanne gasped with relief and sat down.

"Oh gods. I thought she would never get out of here. Why did you invite her, Bill?" she said and took a gulp of Ambrosia from Bill's glass. The Adama men only stared at her.

Dee and Laura left the Admiral's quarters and headed to the Ward Room. Dee was incredibly quiet for all way and Laura started to wondering what she will say for her present. Well it cost her some time to find and two bottle of Ambrosia, also some of her magnificent presidential charm, but it was important to her that they will have it. Laura stopped in front of the hatch and ordered Dee to close her eyes. The girl was confused but carried the request out. Laura opened the hatch and lead the Petty Officer inside. Dee opened her eyes when the President finally said it was ok and saw a beautiful wooden crib with the stars painted on it. Her eyes overflowed with tears. Dee smiled and hugged Laura.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, mom. Oh lords, it's perfect." She said and hugged Laura once again.

"Oh it's nothing. I hope you like it." Laura smiled and kissed Dee's forehead. "Chief Tyrol will move it to your quarters but I wanted you to see it first."

"I don't know what to say, mom. I… gods…. Thank you again."

Dee pulled Laura into the hug again. When they pulled away Laura smiled and when Dee was about to leave, she asked:

"Oh by the way. Silly me, I didn't ask you how far along you are."

"Four-and-half-months, mom, in another four-and-half-months you will be a grandma." She smiled and then left Laura behind.
