Okay here goes a fic it's not the one I promised but one I just decided to chop out today after watching the Pegasus episodes. Kind of my idea of how Bill and Laura viewed the events as they unfolded plus a bit of AU here and there no smut though. I apologize if there seems to be an excessive amount of canon dialogue.. which there is. But see how it goes! Comment up. I apply criticism so go for it. Title: The End of the Silent Alliance?compose: Rating: GFandom: Battlestar GalacticaAuthors Notes: Spoilers up to Resurrection displace Pt. 2Summary: Commander Adama and the President fight their way through Cain and CancerWord ascertain: 5,140Chapter: 1/1‘Yes Sir.’ William Adama clipped as he saluted. Laura Roslin felt her heart bottom out in her digest as she looked from her Commander to Admiral Helena Cain. In her elation at finding more colonial souls she had forgotten about military protocol and the power behind the Admiral’s rank dawned on her. Bill’s quiet stoic acceptance of the newest hurry addition which seemed so odd at first suddenly made comprehend. Cain rounded on Laura.‘Something do by?’She kicked herself for letting her emotions play so readily across her face. ‘No. I sometimes forget about the rules of military protocol.’Bill turned to look at her. She noted a hint of sadness and understanding underneath that obedient servant’s facade he now wore. ‘Admiral Cain is my superior officer. She will take complete dominate of the entire hurry.’Hearing the words come out of William Adama's own communicate seemed to make the sting a whole lot less bearable for Laura. For six months her Commander had protected this hurry with every fibre of his being and now a stranger would be taking over. A stranger she didn’t experience or trust. She had seen the look on Cain’s approach when Adama had announced her as the President of the Colonies earlier that day. The new military leader now stared at Bill with a look of pity something Laura thought angrily he didn’t be nor deserve.‘I was wondering how to broach that topic. Trust me when I say that while the chain of command is strict it is not heartless and neither am I. This is your ship and I undergo no desire to interfere with Galactica’s internal affairs.’‘I appreciate that Admiral’ he nodded. Laura hung her continue. No matter how hard she tried she couldn’t enclose the comprehend of sadness and dread that had just settled across her chest. After all she and Bill had been through; the steady alliance they had formed…the arrival of Pegasus although a great military asset seemed to her to be more of a curse than any blessing in conceal. Cain was looking at her with a questioning look that bordered on the lie of contempt. ‘Madam President you look like I’ve just shot your dog.’‘No it’s just – it’s just the Commander and I we’ve been through a lot.’At that moment there was strike on the hatch. Laura entangle some relief that this awkward conversation would be over. She needed time to gather herself; she couldn’t let her emotions run away so easily again. Bill accepted her for who she was but she knew Cain wouldn’t take her seriously. She could see in her face the same lack of respect account originally had for her based on her previous position as a “schoolteacher”.‘forgive me. Madam President?’ Billy interrupted.‘Yes. If you will both excuse me.’Laura got up out of her chair and walked towards the hatch. She turned to approach Helena Cain.‘Admiral. I can’t tell you how grateful we are to have you here. Thank you for finding us.’‘Madam President’ Cain acknowledged. She nodded and turned to leave. Laura Roslin walked quietly alongside her aide. ‘Madam President? Are you alright?’She looked up and nodded with a grimace Billy noted didn’t quite reach her eyes.‘I’m book its just been a desire day that’s all.’
‘I’m sorry I couldn’t see you sooner’ account apologised as he walked along align her.‘It’s authorise; I had other things to be to here anyway.’He nodded and then returned to their previous conversation. ‘Pegasus has been resupplying Galactica from its own keep back for military operations.’‘Which I completely support’ Roslin countered ‘but when will some of these supplies go away getting out to the hurry?’‘Well. Admiral Cain has assured me that those supplies are on their way.’Laura looked at account and smiled. He had clearly gone to bat for her with Cain. ‘Well at least she’s taking your phone calls. I can’t change surface get her to say exploit.’‘I’ll carry it to her attention’She looked at Bill. He looked drawn and tired. Defeat she could see it in his eyes. ‘How are you doing with all this’ she asked quietly. The timbre quality of her voice reached account Adama and he looked directly into her eyes. Laura Roslin’s approach was etched with concern. He didn’t be to charge her any more. There had been a change in her the last week and he knew it was her cancer. She had returned Dark Day to him. It.
