Hours passed one after another and soon Bill had to go away. He had a mission to fulfill, he knew that the President himself gave him this assignment as his superior, Admiral Helena Cain told him. He was the best for this mission or as he suspect Adar send him to find Kobol only because he wanted to get rid of him. Bill and Laura were too close and it didn't suit Richard, that his ex-lover is happy with someone else.

He didn't want to go back, he didn't want to leave her when Richard was still around, waiting as she change her mind and jump to his bed (of course Bill knew she won't do that) and making her life a hell. He especially didn't wanted leave her all alone when she found out that the doctor found something weir in baby's blood. As soon as they come back from the hospital, she locked herself in her room, lied on the bed and didn't say a word. Actually she didn't say anything since they had left the doctor's office. He knew she still is thinking about the diagnoses or better say the lack of it. The baby was healthy but there was something disturbing in her blood, what worried both of them. What was it? They didn't know, the doctor needed blood sample of the father of child and then he will do some more specialists test and that was the problem. Richard Adar will never gave Laura a blood sample, so she could save her baby.

Bill made them cubs of tea and took them to her bedroom, he didn't bother with knocking. She was lying on right side watching a sonogram video on tablet. He put cubs on the nightstand and sat down on the bed next to her. He put his hand on her arm, gently caressing it, he called her name.

"Everything is going to be all right, Laura. She is healthy honey and Cottle will find out what is wrong with her blood, just please hang on. I love you and it's going to be ok, I promise."

He kissed her head before he lied down behind her, wrapping his arms around her. She slowly turned around to face him, she put her palm on his cheek looking deep into his eyes.

"I'm scared Bill, about her. She is everything a have, accept you. She is my little miracle."

"I know, I know. You'll see she's going to be perfectly health and beautiful just like you." He kissed her. "We have to wait for the test results. In the meantime we will have to talk to this prick."

"Yes, but I don't want to face him again." She whispered.

"You won't be alone. I will go with you." He kissed her forehead. "Try to get some sleep Laura, you have to rest."

"Mmm…ok.."

She was walking through gray hallways in unknown direction, just walking around, watching and trying to memorize the path she had gone sooner. It wasn't empty; hallways were loaded with metal boxes in some less strategic places as she figured it out. The grey hallways' labyrinth didn't have the end, she turned into left at the another one crossway and then she heard it; the alarm. Yellow lights started to twinkle in red and people whose in the beginning weren't there, now started running. She fallowed them; the grey hallways started to disappear and right now she was standing in some room with computers. She saw that it's only an upper deck, so she came closer to see that she is in the CIC. Bill used to talk her about his ship, so she easily recognize a Battlestar and the commanding center.

"Sir multiply DRADIS' contact. No Colonial identification." She heard male voice. Laura looked down; Bill, her Bill was standing in the middle of the CIC with another man; XO of Galactica as she presumed.

"Galactica, Starbuck. You not gonna believe what I see. Cylons, there are everywhere." Young female voice said through the com.

Roslin watched Bill; he looked at the four big red dots and few squadrons of small on the DRADIS thinking, analyzing the situation. She could see his consideration of next actions. Then she saw him talking to the XO, she didn't heard the conversation. She tried to focus harder, but people which was buzzing around her were interrupting Laura

"Get back Kara."

"Will do, sir! All units get back to Galactica. I repeat all units get back!" she was yelling but not only her screams were hear; those who never made back to Galactica were too many, the reminds of theirs Vipers were floating in the space.

"Radiological alarm!" somebody said. All eyes in CIC directed to Bill. The great Commander Adama hold a breath, he looked at his companions. Laura could say they all share a moment, like they were communicating without words

"Mr. Geata please put a nuclear strike missiles, launch tubs six to ten." Commander Adama said slowly and before he made another order, he waited for Geata to confirmation of his actions. "Open launch tubs' doors. Load target. Set ground zero on the middle of the Baseship."

"Target loaded, sir." He answered. Bill looked at his friend and second-in-command asking without words if he's ready. He only nodded.

"If we die, we will die with honor, defending our homelands. It's been an honor to serve with you, all of you." Adama said before the blast.

When she opened her eyes Laura saw the Battlestar or better to said junk which was floating in the space after the battle. She wanted to scream but she couldn't make a sound. She closed her eyes and when she opened them again she was in her room; comfortably lying in her bed.

Sometime later Bill was sitting in the kitchen drinking coffee and eating his lunch. Laura was sleeping in her room, she was ragged by the events of the day so he had to give her some space and time to rest. As he was sitting alone, he had plenty of time to think what next. The baby wasn't fine, not to him, no when Cottle said there is something weird with her blood. Maybe it was nothing, but Laura was worried, really, really worried, so was he. Besides he had to leave her, all because of Adar. He knew it wasn't a normal mission. He was warned to stay away from Laura and he didn't listen, so Adar give him an order to chase something it wasn't real; Kobol, Temple of Five. Bill gasped. He tried everything not to go on this mission, but without success. So as he gave the Admiralty his resignation, he had hope, but as it turned out he and his experience were far too important for military to let him retired.

He couldn't leave her, it wasn't the best time and he knew that, she wasn't feeling good and yet he had to get back to Galactica. His shuttle was waiting. Bill called to her aid asking to take care of his woman and as soon as Billy showed Adama for the last time went to Laura's bedroom. She was sleeping, but when Bill came closer to her, she opened her sleepy eyes. He lied next to her. Laura immediately turned to face him, her hand traveled through his body and face, gently rubbing, mapping, trying to remember the curves of his warm body.

„Sweetheart?" He looked at her; Laura's eyes were filled with sadness and frighten. "What's wrong?"

"Don't go back on Galactica, please. I... I had a dream… Something is going to happened. Something terrible…"

"What?"

"I... Bill just please listen to me."

"Laura it was just a silly dream. I'm going to be fine." He said condescendingly.

"Don't mock me, ok. It's true, Bill! Yes it was a dream, but very real one. I know it's true. Something is happening to me and I don't know what and why but I have those vision. I believe they are real. The Cylons, they are coming back." He could say she was irritated by his behavior.

"Cylons? Please, they are gone, had been gone for forty years, Laura. Don't be silly, even if they come back, our fleet is so much stronger than in the First Cylon War and we will easily defeat them. It was just a bad dream, Laura, pregnant woman have those sometimes." He said. "Don't bother your pretty head with some unreal images made by your imagination."

"You don't believe me? Bill how we suppose to be a family when you don't trust me!?." Laura sat on the bed and reached for the robe. She put it on while she stood up and headed to the bathroom.

"Laura I trust you…" She raised her eyebrow. "I do!"

"Please. I don't know why you here and why you want to be with me if you can't trust me. Just stop lying and telling you love us. I still remember how disgusted with me you were when I told you I'm having Adar's baby. And what now!? It doesn't matter who her dad is? Everything is fine? I don't think so, Bill. You were just pretending, I know it's true. You don't love us, you are using me to achieve your own goals! You don't listen my words, you don't trust me, you are ignoring me, rejecting me! Is that a relationship for you? Because If you can't trust me entirely, we can't be together anymore. I don't want to see you, Bill! Leave me alone…" she grind out walking into the bathroom.

Bill looked at the closed door, thinking what he said wrong, that pissed her off. Many of her accusation where illegitimated. Bill knocked to the door, but he didn't hear the answer. He gasped.

"Laura, please. You know that is not true, those things you said… most of them if not all are not true, but I'm sorry anyway." He said. "Laura."

She heard him calling her name, but she didn't move from her spot by the mirror. She looked at her reflection; pregnancy made her face more glowing and younger, if this is even possible. But the mood changes she had, made her angry; she could not be herself for a moment, because she was always screaming at someone or crying her eyes out of the reason. And of course the unstoppable fear for the baby; is her little girl going to be healthy. When doctor Cottle found something in baby's blood, Laura thought of the most terrifying thing that could happened to her baby, of course all test were positive, little girl she was carrying was healthy, but… Yeah there always is a 'but'.

"Laura please, open the door. I have to go back on Galactica and I don't want you to be mad at me when I'm gone."

He waited for her to walk out the bathroom for few minutes, but she Laura didn't face him. Finally he had to gave up. He loved her and their baby so much and didn't even tell her about his feelings. What if something will go wrong and he will never see them again? But what he was suppose to do if she didn't want him here? Adama left her bedroom and headed to the living room where her aid was waiting for him. They walked through the dining room and stopped in the hallway. Bill took his military bag pack and but it on his back.

"Take care of her, Billy.".

"Of course, sir, I will. Please come back soon, for her." He said.

Adama goodbye with young man and left. He hated himself, he made a promise and he had never broke his vows. Till today, he promise to take care of Laura and their baby girl and what the hell he was doing now? LEAVING! Adar and those orders were only excuses, sure if he had guts he would definitely said that prick what he is thinking about him. Well he still had time and Laura needed a favor. Knowing her and her pride she won't ask the biological father of their child for anything. This was his job. If he wants Laura to be happy, he need to go to Adar and gain his blood sample.

When she left the bathroom he was long gone. And as she thought as they had split up, her heart ached and somehow it was too big for her chest; her eyes filled up with tears. What have I done? What if I never see him again? Laura sat down on the floor curling her legs to her and wrapping her arms around them and laid head above them. Her tears started to flow down her cheeks, starting with quiet sob. A few minutes later she was crying like a little baby. She hurt him with those accusations and now he left her and the baby. Probably never come back, not to her anyway. I am so stupid, so, so stupid. I'm sorry my baby girl. I took your father away from you. Please Bill! I'm sorry. I love you, please come back… Oh… Bill…
