They sat on their porch watching the sunset, hand-in-hand. It had been a long journey, but they'd made it. They had lost friends and loved ones along the way, faced another cancer scare, traversed three planets, learned the Earth myth was actually a fact-only to learn it had been destroyed, but then they'd found a new planet. It wasn't Earth, but it was just as good, if not better, and it was theirs.

The humans and cylons had agreed to a truce, and Laura had every reason to believe it would last. They had more in common than she thought possible when the war had started years ago, and it seemed like their races could commingle on "Earth."

Laura stepped down from the Presidency, and Lee took her place, with Kara by his side always. Saul would support them as the new fleet Admiral, although technically there was no fleet, because they'd sent the ships into the sun. Bill often joked that he envied the ease with which Lee and Saul could do their jobs, but Laura knew it wasn't true. They might not be leaders during a wartime, but their decisions would impact the future generations.

Lee knew he was always welcome to ask Laura for advice, as was the natural state of their relationship. Of course, the agreement was that he bring Kara and their two daughters every time.

The family had just left from such a visit, and Laura leaned against her husband, exhausted. He kissed her hairline. "The girls are a handful."

She hummed. "A wonderful handful, though. I bet they're just like their mother when she was little."

He sighed. "I hope so. Kara's...it wasn't…"

She leaned further against him. "I know. I'm so glad she has this chance."

"Me too. I'm glad we all do."

They gazed at the reds and oranges of the sunset. It was most beautiful on this world, more than any other either of them had visited. When they'd travelled the planet, looking for the best place to build their new home, they'd come across this mountain with its lovely view of the sunset, and they'd known they'd found their home.

As it turned out, their view of the sunrise was even better. When they woke up their first morning on "Earth," they watched the sunrise, and Bill ghosted his lips against her ear, saying it reminded him of her. She pulled him to her, and they welcomed the first day in their new home as lovers.

Back in the present, Bill squeezed her hand. "What are you thinking about?"

"Our first morning here."

He chuckled. "That's a good memory."

"Hmm. It is." She turned her head to kiss him. "I think it's time to make new ones."

"Yes, sir."

She laughed at the ranks and positions they no longer held. The stress and responsibilities were on the shoulders of others.

They helped each other off their porch swing and went inside to their large and comfortable bed, which was a wonderful upgrade from his rack, where they fell into each other with the ease and comfort of lifelong lovers.

Afterward, he spooned behind her, and they whispered words of love and fell into the heavy sleep of tired but content spirits.
