Chapter 3:

I needed to speak with Sharron, not about her child, but about the threat of the Cylon attacks. The nebula seems to have hidden New Caprica from the Dradus scanners on the raptors. But still. We were able to find the planet. So can the Cylons. I'm not about to risk the lives of the human population knowing of the threat of Cylon attacks.

"Open the door." This was my way of giving commands to the military. Through Adama.

"Open it." Adama order his marines to open the doors. What I saw right then and there I will never forget. I saw, what looked like, an angry woman lying on her back, staring at the ceiling. She was full of hatred, refusing to look at anyone. She had a ball, a soft rubber ball, in her hands that she was throwing at the ceiling and catching.

"Sharron, I need to know something. We all need to know something."

"Yeah. I do too."

"Sharron, your baby is dead. We're so sorry, but like Doc said, her lungs failed. I'm ever so sorry. There was nothing we could do."

"You (pointing at me, still looking at the ceiling. She stopped throwing the ball). You order him to kill my baby! You wanted her dead because you thought she was a threat to the fleet. *in a whisper* You didn't even give her a chance… Like me…"

"We tried our hardest to keep her alive. She could have been a benefit to the entire fleet if she had survived but… She didn't. It's not our fault. It's not my fault… Now, I need to know will the cylon fleet find us?"

"No. The nebula should keep us hidden from them on Dradus." Right then a ship, that we later found out was Cloud Nine, exploded. Parts of it hit different ships in the fleet. I stayed with Sharron. Will left to go check on the rest of the fleet.

She continued, "If that were a nuclear blast, our chances of staying hidden have just dropped significantly. The nuclear blast would have left a trace on the nebula and the planet. It will read on the scanners. We need to leave both Battlestars in orbit to keep patrol over the planet."

Ok so basically the whole planet is going to die if we don't stay on the Battlestars because the cylons will find us. But President Baltar is making us all go down to the Planet and live on it. So we are going to have to live on New Caprica still in fear of cylon invasion just like on Caprica.

"Thank you, Sharron." I got up and walked towards the cell door. "Let's go."

"Ma'am." I turned towards the cylon woman. "Make sure Heelo stays safe, on Galactica."

"I will", I told her with a smile. I now know what love is. I know how she feels about Heelo. I am going to do everything I can to make sure those two are together. But I'm still not going to give them their child.

After talking with Sharron, I went back to Bill's room, just to see if he was there. It was empty when I got there. The sirens were blasting in the corridors so I closed the doors behind to try and dull the noise. It was giving me a really bad migraine… It was already 17:00 and I really hadn't spent that much time with William. He was busy trying to fix the fleet. I wonder if he was thinking about me in any of that time.

"Honey, are you ok?" He finally walked through the door. I ran up and hugged him. He looked so tired and sad, but grateful at the same time. "How is the fleet?"

"We lost Cloud Nine, and one civilian ship. Nothing else. Damage to other ships, but they will be able to go down to New Caprica first and survive the fall into the atmosphere."

He sounded awful, and ill. I wanted the help him so bad but I had no idea how to help him. He walked over to his couch and slowly sat down, as if his back was in a lot of pain. I'm sure it was. I sat down next him and dragged his arm around me. I snuggled into his pain-filled chest.

I whispered to him with a smile, "I still love you. I will no matter what." I looked up, into his ocean blue eyes, the ones I could get lost in forever, and saw sadness, hurt, and pain.

"I know, Laura. I just…"

"Shhh… Let's not talk about today's tragedy just yet." I gave him a small gentle kiss on the lips, and snuggled with him more. He put his other arm around me and held me tight, like he never wanted to let me go. He pulled my chin up gently so he could see my eyes. He stared at me with a small smile on his face, and I smiled back. I stole one more kiss from him, but instead of it being a peck on the lips, Bill wanted more. He kissed me passionately. His rough lips touched mine in a perfect interlock. I could tell he needed me at that moment.

He let go after a few minutes of this. I could not believe it. William, my William, was crying softly, without a sound. I carefully took of his glasses and wiped off his tears. I took his hand in mine and sat up so I was at his eye level. I kissed his forehead like a mother would kiss their son goodnight. Bill got up from the couch and just stood right next to me. I was still sitting down.

"I love you, Laura. I really do."

"I know you do, sweetie."

The clock was at 18:00. 5 more hours left to say goodbye.
