A/N: Thank you for your support and reading! Here is another chapter. Sorry it took me so long once again, but well I had some sort writing crisis for this fic. But everything is fine now and I hope I will finish much earlier the next chapter, which by the way I had already started.

Enjoy!

The sun started shinning thought the window, blazing Laura's eyes. Her lips curved while she rolled into her right side hiding her face in her pillow, while her body cuddled into winded blanket; her hand rested upon it. She hummed and then Laura realized her blanket is breathing; she opened her sleepy eyes and saw the familiar face. At first she was disorientated, but then all the events of previous day came back.

Bill's hand in the meantime was stroking her hair; he wasn't sleeping from some time, so he was watching her. He thought that awakening beside her will be awkward, but it wasn't; strangely it felt so natural. Laura seemed to be thinking the same, as she rose her head and gave him a morning kiss.

"What time is it?" she muttered to his body as she closed her eyes once again.

"Nine hundred."

"What?" Bill gasped.

"Nine o'clock. Sorry, I know you're not used to military language. It's habit." He offered her a smile. Laura quickly left the bed and run toward the bathroom, taking fresh underwear from the drawer. Bill sat down on the bad looking at her with amazed.

"I have a meeting at ten with Unions." She said quickly, before she closed door behind herself. Adama got up leaving the bedroom and heading to his temporary room to take a shower and dress.

When she left the bathroom dressed in black costume and high-heels, she came to kitchen. She saw Bill standing above the oven and making pancakes. Laura smiled and came closer; she stopped behind him and envelope hands around his body.

"Hmm… smell nice. You didn't have to make breakfast. I would cook something…"

"I wanted to. Now sit down." He ordered as he turned off the oven and put pancakes on two plates and decorated them with hot chocolate and strawberries. Laura took one plate as she sat down. They started eating.

Bill opened a newspaper and started to look through it. Laura looked at him with smile on her face; it was so natural to sit down with a man, eating breakfast. It was something she missed in her life. Other men she had been seeing were dinner & sex type, they weren't even staying the night in her house and after she involved with Richard it was just sex. Quick desk sex, no strings attached. But with Bill she knew it will be different, she felt exactly like her mom always told her she was feeling with Laura's father; natural, relaxed, like they were meant to be together, belonged to each others.

Maybe he wasn't the best catch among women, but it didn't matter; she cared about him and already loved. He was hers and she was his. That was the fact that mattered. For her he was the most interesting, the most handsome and caring man she had even known. And he loved her. Laura grinned again; this time Bill put the newspaper on the table and frowned while drinking the coffee.

"What are you smiling at?"

"Nothing." She put her elbow on the table and then leant her chin on her palm. "Do you have plans for today?"

"As a matter of fact, yeah. I'm taking you to lunch and shopping. Later I have to call my son."

"Shopping, you say?"

"I need a new tux for a wedding and I think you would like to have a new dress." He said.

"Ok, I have a lunch break at 1 p.m." she looked at her agenda and then back at her partner.

" I will meet you in your office, then." After they eat breakfast, hand in hand they left the house and went into the car. Laura gave Bill a lift; he kissed her and left the car, heading to his own apartment.

Roslin came into her office where Billy and Tory were waiting for her with her agenda. She sat down at the desk and dismissed her aids. Laura took the paperwork and started to go through it before her first meeting with the Unions.

She was after her meeting with Stans and the Quorum, so now she was working at the desk; doing the paperwork, when the door opened. She looked up and saw Tory. The young woman was very embarrassed.

"What can I do for you, Tory?"

"Ma'am, there is a problem. The President was walking toward your office, Madam Secretary and he met some guy…" Laura raised her eyebrow. " This man claim, he's your…uhm… boyfriend."

Laura stood up and left her office with Tory. They headed to the main corridor and then she saw Bill with Richard. The two men were glaring at each other while arguing. She gasped and walked to Bill, she put her palm on his shoulder. He looked at her and wrapped his arm around her body.

"Bill, please let it go. It's not worth it." She whispered.

"NO, he could be the President, but he doesn't have right to talk about you like this."

"Bill, please."

"Huh… so you found a daddy? The great Commander Adama… Haha, we will see about that" Richard smirked. Bill step closer to him; his fist tighten but he didn't make a move, because she made him stop. Laura tangled her fingers with his and pulled him away from Adar.

"Honey come on, let it go. Come on, we're going out."

"Oh Laura, Laura, just remember who you belong to…" he said, as Laura and Bill hand in hand went down the hallway to the exit, leaving the President all alone.

As they left the governmental building, Roslin smiled to Bill. He stood up in my defense. My hero! She closed the distance between them, nestling into his arm. He stopped and before she said something, he crushed his lips against hers. Laura hummed as her hands made their way from his torso to hair. She pushed her tongue into his mouth; exploring and mapping the territory. As they pulled away from each other few seconds later, they smiled and without words, they went down the street, holding hands.

They went into another shop after buying a tux for Bill. Laura opened her mouth in amazed as she saw the variety of dresses and colors. Bill leaded her further into the shop, as one of the shop assistant came to greet them and offered help. Adama only smiled to Laura when she looked at him asking for permission; he sat down on the leather sofa. In the meantime the shop assistant, who called herself Nella took the Secretary of Education to a changing room, where two different girls already brought two loop with the newest dresses with famous labels. Nella looked through them and took the first one, which she gave to Roslin; she tried it on.

It was an hour and nine dresses later, when once again she left the changing room to show Bill the dress she was wearing now. She found him sitting where she left him and talking on the phone. She cleared her throat making her presence. Adama hang up and looked at his girlfriend; Laura was wearing dark green, knee-long dress with straps and naked back.

" So what do you think?"she said while she turned around.

"Wow, it's perfect." He stood up and came closer to her and put his palm on her abdomen. "But don't you think it's a little too tight in some place?"

"Oh gods, no! I'm too fat for this dress!" she hide her face in her palms. Bill pulled her to his body and kissed her on the forehead.

"You're not fat, honey. And you look beautiful in this dress, but sweetie you started showing up. If you want you can take this dress, but it won't be long before the press will find out."

"After I found out I wanted my pregnancy to be a secret, just a little longer. But right now..." She smiled caressing his cheek. "I love you and I love our baby. So it doesn't matter who knows. I even might call the press myself to tell them how happy I am with you, Bill."

Laura kissed him soundly, when Nella came into the room; she cleared her throat. Laura and Bill pulled away from each other. As the young woman asked her about dress, Laura hummed hiding her head into Bill's shoulder.

"I think you are right. As much I like this dress it might be inappropriately to wear it to the wedding, especially in my condition. Besides it's Zack and Zoey's day, not ours. We will tell them some time later." She whispered into his ear, and then she told the shop assistance what dress she will be buying.
