Bill looked at his watch worried, Laura should be in front of the hospital fifteen minutes ago, but she still wasn't here. Some of the people started looking strangely at him wondering why he is standing all alone on the parking lot. He ignored them, minding his own problems. He took the phone out of his pocket and dialed Laura's number, but in the same moment, he saw her silver Mini One. Smiling he went across the parking zone. In the meantime his phone started ringing, Bill took it out of this pocket and looking at the screen, he hesitated before he finally answered. The first thing he heard was angry voice of his son, Lee.

"I can't believe this. Why didn't you tell us, we just found out, from the press, dad. From the press! Is that why you bring her to the wedding, to show us how happy you are!? How could you do this to mom, seriously… Another child and another woman. No, not any woman. Her, dad. We do know who she really is, Adar's whore...

"That's enough, Lee! You won't be telling me how to live my life. Do you understand me? And have a little respect to Laura- she is my fiancée and soon to be mother of you brother or sister, Lealand."

He had enough of listen Lee's complain so he hung up. Bill turned around and saw Laura; she was standing right behind him and smiled as he pulled her closer. Their lips meet halfway.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"Lee called."

"Oh. It's about me, isn't it?" she looked down.

"It doesn't matter, baby. You and I will be parents soon." He said looking around. When Bill made sure they are indeed alone and no one can heard them, he put his both hands and put them on her belly, whispering to Laura's ear that it doesn't matter to him that the baby isn't his flesh and blood, he love them both, anyway.

"You know, you're wonderful Bill. I love you." She kissed him sweetly.

They enter the hospital and turned into the hallway which was heading to doctor Cottle's office. One of the nurse told Bill to wait in the office and then she took Laura to another room to prepare her to examination and do the blood test, in the meantime Bill was looking around, when the doctor came in; he saw his old friend from the military; doctor Sherman 'Jack' Cottle. Men exchanged handshakes and sat down.

"So what brings you here, Bill?" he asked taking a cigarette from the white coat's pocket.

"Me? No, I'm fine. I'm just accompanying her." He said when Laura stopped in the doorstep. Cottle looked up.

"Madam Secretary, hello." He watched the both of them carefully; the looks they were exchanging were speaking clearly what Laura and Bill didn't say. "I assume you're the lucky daddy, Commander."

"Well in some way, yes he is." She sat down taking his hand into hers.

"Clearly you don't want to share something with me. Ok, for now, but I have a feeling we will get back to this conversation." He said. "Let's go, we will do sonogram while nurse bring me blood test results."

The three of them walked to the cot. Laura lie down and uncovered her belly. He placed the device on Rosiln and suddenly this image appears on the screen. They were in the Governmental Hospital so they had the most advanced technology available to them. What they were beholding was a 4D image of the baby that now lived inside Laura. Laura laid there in astonishment. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. Its eyes, its nose, its cheeks, fingers...

"Oh" Bill looked at his woman and then at the doctor.

"Would you like to know what it is?" Dr. Cottle said.

Laura Roslin and Bill Adama just stared at each other. Not knowing what to say or do next.

"Laura?" Adama said. "It's up to you" and he gave her that magic smile that somehow always made her know it was going to be ok.

"Um...ok...then...um...yes" she said, but was still unsure. She wasn't sure if knowing the sex of the maybe would make things worse or better. It was still a little peanut but that not going to be that way for long and sooner or later her baby will be more and more looking like his or hers father; Richard Adar,

"Well, if you look here, that's a leg, and that's another leg, and that's..." Dr. Cottle paused.

"It's a girl" Bill interjected, immediately taking a closer step to the monitor, in obvious awe.

"Yes...it's a girl...and by the looks of things she looks healthy" Doctor Cottle stated.

Secretary Roslin just stared at the monitor. She didn't make a sound. A girl...she was carrying a baby girl, she always wanted be a mother of beautiful girl. The tears just rolled down her face. An in that moment it didn't matter if the baby will looks like Richard or not; her little baby girl was only hers and Bill's.

"Ok, I'm going to leave you now. Please come to my office and I'm suppose to have a blood test's results." Doctor Cottle said and after he turned off the equipment, he left the room.

"Hey, Hey... you ok?" Bill said immediately coming to her side.

"Yeah, I'm fine...it's just...seeing this... is really happening isn't it..." Laura said as she began to lose control.

"Yes sweetheart, it is really happening. We'll be having a baby girl." He kissed her forehead.

They were sitting in front of doctor Cottle holding hands. The old man looking at Laura nervously, started to going through the files on his desk.

"So now please explain me this, Madam Secretary: the whole Twelve Colonies buzzing with the information of your and Commander Adama's secret relationship and the child conceive from love . But here my files says something very not true. So the news telling lies or my best nurse and the new equipment are mistaken. Are you gonna tell me the true, Madam Secretary? Bill?"

The both of them looked at each other.

" Well it's have to stay between the three of us, doctor."

" Doctor-patinet confidalty, ma'am." She sighed.

"Bill isn't the father, not biological father. But we are seeing each other and he is…"

"… I want to raise the child as my own. I love Laura."

"Ehm… well congratulation to both of you, I do want you to be happy Bill. If she's making you happy, then I'm glad. But back to the daddy issue. Who is the biological father of your child, Madam Secretary?"

"Richard Adar."

"The president?" he raised his eyebrow, as she looked down. "Well that will complicate many things. Does he know?"

"Yes, he knows and that's it. I won't be asking him for anything."

"Well I thing you will, because I need the sample of his blood. I am sorry Madam Secretary but I found something weird in the baby's blood and I need to be sure before I tell you something." He said. Laura grabbed Bill's hand and squeezed it tightly, her second palm found the way to the belly.

It started with a single sound in the morning. Tory opened her sleepy eyes, looking for a clock alarm. A soon as her hand found it, she press the turning off bottom, but it had been already turned off.

"Ugh…it's probably just a bad dream." She muttered and lie down on the bed again.

But it wasn't a dream. The same sound came back later; few hours after she walked into office. This time she blamed the alcohol, connecting the sound in her head with the nasty hangover she had after last night party. What she didn't know, she wasn't the only one who heard it and it wasn't any way connected with hangover. No this was something else; the single sound she heard was just the beginning of whole sonata, which will make her one of the five of their kind; the Thirteen Tribe.
