[Private]

I'm still not sure what to do. About practically anything.

I got lucky. Really lucky that I not only found Helo and fell in love with him, but that he fell in love with me. And now we have this beautiful daughter who I would die for (and in fact, I have once), and life is just... perfect.

There have been bumps along the way, sure, like getting thrown into hack and having Hera taken away from me. That was probably one of the worst things that's happened to me recently.

And then there's Lee.

It all happened when I flew him over to Colonial One on my Raptor. He was a civilian, and I was still in the fleet, and we frakked. One last time, and we knew it was wrong and that it wasn't love, and then he was gone. He went off to live his life and I went back to my husband and daughter and lied to them both about how everything was fine.

But then with Hera... God, what was I supposed to do? That Six was going to hurt her, I know she was, and so I shot her. Getting thrown into hack, though, I didn't know what to do because Helo was gone. The Old Man pointed that out to me quite clearly in his quarters, that it was my fault, that my husband was in jeopardy, that I couldn't have Hera.

So I turned to Lee. Scuttlebutt had it that he'd been doing well as a voice of reason, and he had managed to get frakking Baltar acquitted. Anyone who thinks differently is fooling themselves – it was Lee on the stand. I just figured that he'd know something that would help me. Something that could save me from a hearing. Strangely enough, he came and visited me in the brig and said he'd work on it.
