I actually JUST realized I left out a paragraph somewhere when I copied and pasted this. Luckily, not too much was missed, but it explained Lee's inner thought process a little more. I've pasted it below for you in case you wanted to read it, since you touched on that specific thought in his head. It would insert between parts 2 & 3 (being the first paragraph of 3):
Lee knows now what that feeling in his stomach is. It isn’t fear for her or his brother, the implications of their affair coming out after months of keeping it quiet, or the reaction his parents would have at learning their youngest son was to be a father before he even became an officer. No, Lee knows what it is and it’s jealousy. By no means is he ready to be a father, if he ever will be, but that doesn’t stop the ache at knowing his brother has Kara Thrace in yet another way he never will. It surprises him and pains him all at once, and for a brief second, he lets that jealousy and grief wash him over as he stares across at her, tears welling up in her eyes in a show of emotion she’s never had in front of him before.
