bsg ficlet: eeeeeeep!

[rose_griffes]

This was going to be the ending to a third (and final) on-earth fanfic. But this ending gave me the creeps. Eeep! So I'm putting it here as a ficlet, and hope my brain (and muse) can move on to some other idea...



Kara's hand was cold in his. She still looked nervous, so he gave her hand a small squeeze and smiled at her. She pulled her hand away. Across the room walking toward them was the tall man he had seen her with before, accompanied by the dark-haired girl. Kara rushed forward and hugged the man, then turned and said, "Leoben, this is Karl Agathon." They shook hands and Kara continued. "This is his daughter Hera."

Hera shook his hand gravely. "You weren't always real," she said, "but I think you're real now." She turned to Kara and her eyes lit up. "He'll bit a little like me!" she gasped excitedly. Then she put her head to Kara's still-flat stomach, smiling. Kara was pale as she stared at the small dark head leaning against her belly. Hera stood back abruptly and looked up at Kara. "Don't worry. You'll like him."

Heh. Hera is a little like River (Firefly 'verse).

You could always have Cally get out of jail and be the one to kill Leoben.

Though I'm also a Kara/Leoben shipper, and I don't particularly want him to die.

I really like the Kara/Leoben interaction. And Helo's inner fears of running into another eight. Why not through Boomer in there instead of Athena. That could be fun.

I'd really be interested to see how Sam would react to Kara's relationship to 'sleeper' Leoben. Now that would be create a really interesting storyline.
