Chapter Text
She sat and watched Kacey sleep, Kacey’s fist around her fingers relaxing as she fell deeper into slumber. Kara didn’t want to think about what might have happened if Kacey had died because of her selfishness. Kacey’s hand fell away from hers, and she caressed her forehead with a kiss, then brushed her silky blonde hair with her fingers. She was a beautiful child, and knowing that half of her was cylon didn’t change that.
She rose from the bed, not letting herself think about what she was going to do. She walked up the stairs to see him sitting on the couch reading. He looked up at her and smiled; no matter what she did, it never stopped the smiles.
She kept her eyes on his as she pulled her shirt off and started to unbutton her pants. He quirked an eyebrow, and his smile slipped just a tiny bit, but he didn't stop looking at her as she walked toward him, dropping her bra and panties on the way. He tossed the book down beside him as she climbed onto his lap.
“Kara?”
She didn’t want to answer questions, or have time to ask herself what the frak she was doing. So she said, “Thank you for saving our daughter,” and kissed him, shutting out everything else.
