Antonia blinks slowly, not quite sure of her surroundings. Her hand reaches to her chest, where she can feel a strong arm engulfed around her. Slowly, she attempts to adjust her position and moans ever so softly.

Lee opens his eyes immediately, as he was a light sleeper. He smiles softly, helping her ever so slightly, “Better?”

She hears the voice and glances over to him, “Lee?” She whispers, swallowing, “What did I do?”

“You?” He snorts, sitting up on the edge of the bunk, “We did this together.”

“This isn’t supposed to happen between us. Our parents…Lee, you’re my brother.”

“Step-brother…only related by marriage…”

“And there’s Aurora, how the hell is this explainable to her?”

“It isn’t. Which means she doesn’t have to know.” He finally looks back to her, “Though, I have to say, it doesn’t stop making me love you.”

“Lee-” She warns a little.

“What? I mean it. I mean every frakking word of it-” He stands, completely nude, and begins pacing slightly. Still staring at her, “It isn’t some sort of caretaker kink or something. I’ve…I think I’ve developed feelings for you through this.”

“That can’t happen. I love you, but I’m in love with Adina.”

“You haven’t seen her in almost a month, Toni.”

Antonia swallows, feeling tears come to her eyes. It was the inevitable truth and the pink elephant in the room, “I know that.”

“People move on. How do you know she hasn’t done the same on the surface?”

“Because she wouldn’t do that.” She shakes her head, still watching him. Some of her body was exposed, but she makes no effort to cover it. She just didn’t care anymore, “She isn’t like me.”

“You’re still learning who you are.” He shakes his head, “You aren’t that teacher on Canceron anymore, Toni. I’m not a Viper pilot anymore. We evolve, we grow. It happens all the time.”

“I know that.” Her reply was short.

Lee nods, “So grow with me.”

“I can’t do that to Adina.”

“You need to do it for yourself. I wasn’t working alone last night. I mean yes, I was doing most of the work, but I didn’t hear any complaints coming from you.”

Toni smirks, “Because there wasn’t any.”

“Exactly. We just fit together.” He grins, pulling on a pair of gray sweatpants, “We just fit-” He turns his head, hearing the slight rap at the hatch. He spins it quickly, jerking it open. Two people he didn’t exactly plan to find, “Kara.” He glances to the little girl holding her hand as well, it was Hera Agathon.

“Well…good to see you’re in a good mood, Apollo.” Kara smirks, always calling Lee by his callsign, “Who is the lucky girl?” The room smelled of sex and she could tell, she pushes past him, not really thinking about Hera at all. “Antonia?” She smirks, shaking her head in disbelief slightly, “You frakked my sister?”

“Sister?” He shakes his head, picking up Helo’s daughter.

Antonia lies in the bed, watching her, “Lee has been caring for me.”

“Well, I can see that.” Starbuck quips.

Hera wiggles a little, not caring about the tension or anything else. She slides from Lee’s arms and climbs into the bunk with Toni, holding onto her with a smile. Something inside of her needed to stay with the woman and she didn’t know what.

Toni holds onto the little girl just as much, glancing to Lee and her sister over Hera’s head, “Cool the tempers, please.” She says softly to them.

Kara glances to Lee with a smirk, “Wait until her cylon girlfriend finds out.” She walks back towards the hatch, “The kid is your problem now.” She leaves almost abruptly.

Lee stands there a moment, watching the two known human and cylon hybrids holding onto each other. He finally takes off after Kara.
