A/N: Toni returns Hera home, without the thanks she thought she'd get. Laura ushers her daughter to the surface without Lee's knowledge.


Toni slowly pushes the wheels of her wheelchair down the metal corridor. Hera Agaton sits on top of her lap, "Are you okay?" She asks the girl, who was holding onto her.

Hera nods a little, "I’m fine."

"You have to stop running away." She nods, she was moving so slow, but she wasn’t exactly in a hurry, "You have to be careful around here, Hera."

"The lady with the yellow hairs said I can trust you."

Toni smiles, nodding, "Of course you can, but that isn’t the point. There are people looking for little girls like you and they want to take you away so you won’t see mommy or daddy anymore."

She bites her lip, "They will?"

She nods, "Yes, which is why you have to stay where you’re supposed to and be careful."

"Can I come see you and Kara?"

Toni grins, "Absolutely, baby." She holds the girl gently, "You know you can anytime you want and your parents say it’s okay."

Hera looks around for her parents, hearing her mother’s cries faintly through the metal hatch.

Toni leans forward, knocking at the metal door, sighing when she hears the same cries.

Helo bolts open the door looking to his daughter and taking her into his arms, "My girl." He whispers in her ear, holding her so close.

Athena stands to see her daughter, kissing her face over and over. She moves from them, glaring at Toni, "You kidnapped her?"

"Starbuck was watching her, then dropped her off to me." She sighs, adjusting herself in the chair, "I’m not the bad guy here, Sharron. No matter how much you want to make it out to be me."

Hera gets down, going back over to Toni. She leans up and kisses her cheek before returning to her father.

Athena sighs, looking at Toni again before closing the hatch on her.

Laura sees the girl sitting in the wheelchair and hurries over to her, "Toni?" She sighs, "Everything okay? Did they find Hera?"

Toni glances to her mother, "Everyone knows she was missing?"

She nods, "She’s very important. Of course everyone knows."

"She was with me. Let everyone be angry with me." She rolls back slowly.

Laura shakes her head, taking the handle bars of the chair, "I don’t believe that."

"Believe what you want."

"Are you ready to go to the surface? Adina has a surprise for you…and you get to see the surprise Bill gave to me." The President smiles, "She was going to come and get you but she wanted to make sure the humans and cylons were getting along."

"I can barely walk. Do you think that’s such a good idea?"

"The grounds are perfect and pure. You should be fine. The wheels of this should be able to take the terrain." Laura continues to walk, "You’re not able to walk at all?"

"A little. The last time I passed out must have been the worst. I’ve been having trouble with balance, so this is better than falling all the time."

She nods a little, "Let’s take you to the surface and-"

"I need to leave Lee a note. He’ll get worried."

"The two of you have gotten awful close…should I worry at all?" She pushes her toward her personal shuttle.

Toni swallows, then shakes her head quickly, "He’s a good guy."

"I’ll have them make a call to him, alright? He’ll come down when he’s ready." She kisses the top of her daughter’s head before getting aid from the pilots and getting her daughter secured.

"Yeah." Antonia whispers, watching out the front window.
