Lee looked down at his newborn son cradled in his arms and for the first time in his life was absolutely comfortable with the feeling of being totally blown away.
Charlie had Kara's deep set eyes and tiny delicate ears, but so far he seemed to have inherited his father's generally quieter and more introspective personality. Lee smiled and laughed quietly to himself at the thought that he'd classified the baby, only a few hours old, as being introspective. Other then right after his birth though Charlie had been quiet and peaceful. Not at all what his nervous father was expecting.
Lee leaned down and brushed a light kiss across Kara's forehead and her eyes slowly came open. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake you." She shrugged her shoulders.
"Hey, you know..." Lee's eyebrow quirked as he resettled his son in his arms and slid onto the bed next to his wife's pillow, his back resting against the headboard, feet still dangling over the side. He waited a moment or two.
"What do I know?"
"I can't sleep forever, besides I was already awake, my gown was getting wet." Lee looked at her a look of bafflement on his face until it finally dawned on him and a wave of red swept up from his neck. She responded with a slight jab of her elbow into his hip. "Hey Adama, stop with the shy crap, you seem to like 'um, I think he's going to too."
As she pushed her gown to the side she throw her husband a saucy wink, took their son from his arms and settled him for his next meal.
Lee decided that maybe he'd better come up with a plan for being a bit less blown away. He wasn't ready to give up his claim on that territory completely yet. She smiled as he bent forward and starting nibbling on her ear but slapped his hand when he reached for the unencumbered breast.
