Thanks to everyone who has been following this series! I think this will be the last part as the Adama family makes their way to Earth :)


Laura smiles discreetly as she feels Bill's hand smooth up her back under the covers. She rolls over towards him and cracks open an eye.

"Hi there."

"Hi, how did you sleep?" Bill asks as his hand moves to her front, stroking up her stomach before cupping a breast in his palm. Laura hums and arches into his touch as her eyes slip closed again.

"Best frakking sleep of my life. How long was I out?" She asks in a quiet whisper.

"About 18 hours."

"Gods," Laura moans in response as he squeezes her breast. Bill presses a kiss to her neck as he holds her close.

"I'm glad you're feeling better," Bill murmurs, "I couldn't stand seeing you like that."

"You found me Earth," Laura comments as she reaches up to cup his cheek, "What did I miss?"

"You have a phone call with the President in a couple hours. Two raptors left earlier this morning for the surface."

"Have we heard back from them?"

"Mmhm, they got there safe and they are making arrangements for us to come down. Start negotiations for getting the rest of the fleet down there."

"When?"

"Couple days," Bill says sitting up with an exasperated look on his face. Laura giggles and grabs him by his dogtags, pulling him back down and kissing him hungrily before pulling back and pressing a kiss to his nose.

"Sorry, I'll stop talking."

"Oh you can keep talking," Bill tells her as he kisses her lips gently, "Just not about work."

"Mmm, yes, Admiral," Laura grins as she captures her husband's lips in a hungry kiss. She dutifully sinks back into the bed as he climbs on top of her. Her hands slip up his back under his tanks as her body arches into his. Bill's mouth moves down to her neck and he bites playfully at the sensitive skin, pulling a gentle moan from Laura's mouth, "Kids?"

"At lunch," Bill replies against her skin, sitting up a moment to push her t-shirt up and off. Laura pushes a hand against his chest as he attempts to move back down.

"Tanks too," She demands. Bill laughs and tugs his tanks off, tossing them to the side along with her shirt. Laura's hand strokes over his chest and up into his hair, pulling him back down against her, "I've missed you."

"I've missed you," Bill replies, pressing his lips gently against hers, "I love you so much, Laur."

"I love you too, Bill," Laura replies, swallowing her tears back, "I love you so frakking much."

"Don't cry," Bill whispers, wiping a tear from the corner of her eye. Laura laughs and presses her lips to his palm.

"I'm just thinking about how I'm going to beat this anniversary gift."

"Anniversary gift?" Bill asks. Laura reaches up and indicates the calendar hanging behind their bed. He looks up and notices the date her finger points to, "Hmm...seems it is our anniversary."

"You forgottttt," Laura sing songs.

"You know most wives are generally angry when the anniversary is forgotten."

"Well, Mr. Adama. I am not most wives."

"No you certainly are not, Mrs. Adama," Bill comments as he presses his lips to hers, bringing her hand back down. Laura hums and kisses hims back hungrily, rocking her hips up against his. Bill languidly presses kisses down her body, taking a moment to remind himself of her tantalizing curves. He tugs her underwear down her long legs as his lips press gently to the inside of her thigh, reveling in the soft skin he finds there, "You smell so good."

Laura moans and lets her thigh drop to the side slightly. Bill's mouth moves north and he drags his tongue against her, tasting her wetness. He circles the tip of his tongue around her clit before dragging it back down her entrance. Laura threads her fingers in his hair and groans, rocking her hips in time with his tongues movement. Before she can reach the brink she pulls him away, dragging him back up her body.

"Get up here, mister."

"Aye aye," Bill smiles. He kisses Laura gently before they both work at getting his pants off. Laura tangles her legs with his once they both are naked, moaning as she feels him at her entrance. Green eyes latch on to blue and both darken as they move together, her legs tightening as his hips thrust. Bill grabs her hand from his shoulder, threading their fingers together as he presses their conjoined hands into the pillow above her head. Laura's mouth drops open, letting out soft gasps as she stares back at him, unable to look away.

"I want a thousand more years with you," Laura whispers, her thumb stroking over Bill's, "And even then it won't be enough."

"It'll never be enough," Bill replies, skimming his lips down her forehead and nose, capturing her lips with his, "But I have you now."

"You'll always have me," Laura whimpers. Her back arches into Bill and she cries out his name on a long moan. Her legs tighten around his waist, crushing him to her as she lets go. Bill squeezes the hand in his grip and he whispers her name in her ear. Laura manages to worm her hand out of his grasp, wrapping her arms around his body, holding him close as she presses soft kisses to his jaw, "My heart and soul."

"I'm going to crush you," Bill murmurs after a moment.

"A great way to go," Laura smiles. Bill laughs and rolls over, pulling her with him so she's astride his chest. He rubs his hands up her back before wrapping his arms around her entirely.

"I love you."

"I love you too," Laura murmurs, her eyes closing as she rests her head on Bill's chest, "You found me Earth."


Laura sighs as she sits on the couch and watches a seamstress pin and fold one of her skirts to be taken in for Aurora. Even though it had been close to four years since they'd made their fateful trip to Galactica, it just seemed like yesterday, except for when she looked at her daughter. Over the years the girl had sprouted up considerably and based on how often Laura was trying to find clothes to fit her lately, it showed no signs of stopping.

"What do you think about the length?" Laura snaps out of her musing, looking down as the seamstress folds the hem to sit an inch above Aurora's knees. She nods and smiles.

"I think that's perfect."

"I can have this done by tomorrow morning, and I'll have that dress then too."

"Thank you again for doing all of this."

"It's no problem at all." Aurora undresses from the skirt and puts her fleet sweatpants back on before thanking the woman. Laura shows her out before closing the hatch. She walks back to the room to find Aurora curled up in Bill's desk chair with a book open in her lap, chewing at her thumb as she reads.

"What are you reading?" Laura asks as she approaches the desk.

"History of the Colonies part three," Aurora answers, not looking up from the book until she finishes her chapter.

"How were the first two?"

"Good," Aurora smiles, "Um…the words are starting to get a little blurry. I kinda have to squint to keep them in focus. I thought it was maybe from reading too much but…"

Laura frowns and tips her daughter's chin up, looking into her green eyes.

"How long?"

"A month?" Aurora shrugs, "It's not bad."

"We'll have to see if we can see an eye doctor down on the surface. Gods know my prescription could probably use an update," Laura smiles and lets Aurora go. Aurora wraps her arms around her knees as she looks up at her mother.

"Do you think they're going to let us live down there?"

"I won't take no for an answer," Laura assures her daughter, "I don't know how long it's going to take, or what we're going to have to agree to, but we're staying here."

"Good," Aurora smiles. Laura turns her attention from her daughter as she hears the hatch open, smiling at Bill as he guides the boys inside, directing them over to the table before setting down the meal trays that were in his hands. Laura presses a kiss to Alex's head before Liam's then pressing a kiss to Bill's lips, murmuring a quiet greeting before sitting down at the table, pulling Alex into her lap as she pulls a couple trays over. Aurora takes a seat across from them and grabs her own tray. Her nose wrinkles as she pokes at the algae food with a fork, "I hope they have non algae based food down there."
