He had not wanted to believe it. He still didn’t. But he knew that he would have to face reality at some point.
Laura’s cancer had returned.
He would lose her.
Just like he had lost everything else that mattered to him.
No, he reminded himself. He still had Lee. His son was still alive and he should be thankful for that. But right now, it was hard to be thankful at all.
He had watched Laura die once before. Bill didn’t know if he had the strength to do it again. After all they had been through since then...
His thoughts went back to the day of the ground breaking ceremony on New Caprica - and the night which followed.
When she survived the first time, he had let his guard down. He had allowed himself to think about her as more then just a friend. He had let his heart fool his head into giving in to emotions he had never thought he would feel again.
And now he had to face losing her.
He didn’t know if he could do it. Sitting there, holding her hand while she was dying.
And after... When she was gone they would all expect him to bring the fleet safely to Earth as if nothing had happened. He wasn’t sure he could do that.
For the first time in a very long time, Bill didn’t know if he was strong enough to do what he had to do. To carry on and lead this fleet to the safety of Earth.
To the fleet, losing it’s President would be a major blow. But to him losing Laura would be the end.
