178 - Mother
May. 11th, 2007 11:56 amSharon had just gotten off CAP and knew Helo was still busy running Dogsville, so she'd changed out of uniform and hurried along to Galactica's daycare center, smiling as she passed people in the blue-tinted A-shaped hallways.
This place had become such a wonderful home. She'd never really admit it to anyone except her husband, though. Kara, maybe, but no one else. It was a family in every sense of the word, and despite the looks and whispers that still ran through the ship, she felt more at home here than she had on Caprica, getting orders from others.
Here, she had a happy marriage – although they had their small arguments now and then – but most importantly? She had Hera. Her daughter, her lovely daughter who shouldn't even exist – frak it all, who hadn't existed to her for over a year! And yet, she was smiling and clapping her hands, waiting to be picked up as Sharon walked in the door.
( Everyday life )
Sharon made a slight detour and walked to Admiral Adama's quarters, remembering the talk he'd had with her and Helo as he'd told them the news. Helo had responded by telling him that out of anyone, the Admiral should know the pain of losing a child. In her anger, Sharon had missed that the Admiral had said something along the lines of, "But your child is alive. Be grateful for that." The door was open to his quarters when she arrived, and Sharon took Hera's hand in hers, making small waving motions to the Old Man.
"Thank you, sir. You're right. I'm grateful."
