It Was Only A Matter of Time

Thanks again to kag523  for the lovely manip.

First some CRACK:
I did a little shopping for parents and baby.

For Baby:


A Diaper Bag for Mama, who will be returning to work as soon as she can:


Something to help the new dad stay awake during those boring Quorum meetings:



Have fun and write crack if you are all inspired. Otherwise, here are some thinky thoughts (that were the original idea for this post before the DPP was overrun with fantastic cracky peeps.)

Thinky Thoughts:
Think about and describe the kinds of parents Kara and Lee would be. What would be their parenting strengths? Weaknesses? What about parenting would send Kara to crazyville or make her cry with joy? How might they discipline? What would they do with a recalcitrant teenager? How would they cope with jobs and raising a family? Would they have one child or many? Go at it, shippers. Let's hear your creative scenarios and thinky thoughts about ANY aspect of parenting you like from childbirth to grandparenting. And if a fic should occur, I would not be displeased. ;)



ETA: There have been some wonderfully creative comment!fics during the past two days of K/L crack. Some are embedded in the comments, but please go back and read (and laugh). Congrats to some new writers who braved the DPP and came up with a fantastic scenario that left our pilots both in hack with a bed, handcuffs, and a soundproof room. I've also heard there is a continuation in the works (Track the comm if you want to see it published.)

The 99 Bottles of Ambrosia game is up to #64. Please contribute and comment. The entries are really lovely and sweet and sad. *HUGS the fantastic shippers*

I thought you had outdone yourself when I saw the picture with Lee and Kara and the baby. I was wrong. The second one is soooooooo adorable. I love it when you can't resist. May your lack of self-restraint go on and on and on. So say we all! <3

Resistance is futile.

Lovely work again today.

Lovely manip!

[kag523.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :>D

The manip is beautiful.

I think Kara and Lee would be kinda neurotic as parents, very hyper aware of their own upbringings and trying so hard not to be their own parents. I think Kara in particular would be more nervous than Lee on this front. I think Lee already had the chance to freak out about becoming his father with Gianne... I think he could see having a baby with Kara as sort of a second chance on that front.

Also, I think that they would good cop/bad cop a cranky teenager. They do it very well, we know.

[scifishipper.livejournal.com]

Mmmm. I love the idea of Lee seeing their baby as a second chance. That's a lovely thought.

[kag523.livejournal.com]

Awww... I love your version of Kara and Lee hyperaware of doing a good job. *sniff* That is so lovely. :>)

[bellaaurora.livejournal.com]

I LOVE IT!!!! Great manip, I adore how relaxed and calm they look (so unlike them!).

Thank you!!! :>)

Everyone Likes Babies

Helo walked into the rec room to find Racetrack hunched over something in the corner.

"Hey, Race. What's up?"

She turned around, startled, and shoved something pink into her bag. "Nothing. Paperwork."

"Huh. I don't see any papers."

She shrugged, "Yeah, I'm just finished." She stood up and grabbed her bag, pushing out the chair and shoving past him.

When she got to the door, she stopped suddenly, her bag yanking back behind her. She turned around abruptly and caught Helo grinning.

"Paperwork, huh?" Wrapped around his fingers was a length of pink yarn that spanned the entire room before it disappeared into her bag.

"Shut up, Helo." Maggie stomped over to him and tried to grab the yarn out of his hands.

He began to pull the yarn frantically towards him, laughing when two tiny shapes popped out of her bag and fell onto the floor.

"Helo! Now they're dirty!" Bending over, she swiped up the items and shoved them into the bag.

"Knitting booties, Maggie? I though you hated Starbuck and Apollo."

Her face blushed bright red. "Shut up."

She shuffled back over to the hatch, stopping just briefly to look at his grinning face. "If you tell anyone, I'm gonna shove my knitting needles up your ass. And don't think I won't."

Helo ignored her threats and teased her. "Maggie likes babies. Maggie likes babies."

"You're a frakker, Helo."

His laughter followed her down the corridor.

haha...that's so cute. I'm sure knitting needles and yarn were available on the IKEA ship. HAHAHA

You guys are so much fun...i can never think of anything to add to all this stuff!

Re: Everyone Likes Babies

[kdbleu.livejournal.com]

Even Racetrack. hehehe

Yay! I was so ready for a dose of Helo-sponsored happiness! Although I'm not sure Kara would let the pinkness pass without comment. "My baby does black," I can see her saying.

Whereas Lee would be politely grateful, unless this was after the mutiny, in which case he would be coldly aloof. Wait, though, is it even possible to be coldly aloof about pink baby booties? I guess if anyone could manage dignified hauteur in the face of pastel fuzziness, it would be Lee.

More Helo / Racetrack, AGAIN huh??? (Didn't they feature yesterday too?) I think I know H's SECRET SHIP!!!!!!! Hee hee! :>D

Re: Everyone Likes Babies

[nazkey.livejournal.com]

Hah!!! I knew Maggie wasn't as badass as she wants people to think. Pink booties? I can just see Starbuck rolling her eyes. Excellent bb!

[rdave1.livejournal.com]

OMG!!!! I love the manips! I'm in love with that pic.:D

[kag523.livejournal.com]

*hugs* Thanks so much! :>)

This is making me want to write more babyfic. Dammit.

I HAVE TO FINISH MY BIG BANG FIRST D: D: D: D: D:

(I wonder what would happen if several thousand words of babyfic just appeared, apropos of nothing, in the middle of my Big Bang.)

[scifishipper.livejournal.com]

We would blame it on the cylons!

[baciami2.livejournal.com]

Babies always make me think of fraking. Which brings me to the start of our story in the mini. It's the end of the world as you know it, people. Frak! Frak everyone you ever wanted that wanted you. Frak because you're stressed. Frak because you're in love. Frak because you're in lust. Frak because orgasm sets off all sort of oxytocin and helpful vasopressors in your body, and man, nothing those pesky adrenal glands are pumping out bad cortisal like mad after nuclear holocaust. Frak because we better start making babies. Frak because you better get what you can while you can. Frak because it's the end of the world.

[nazkey.livejournal.com]

Now THIS totally deserves a *slow clap* AND a rousing SSWA.

Yeah man. I'm gonna quote a fic here and say "You know the funny thing about the world? We don't live in it any more." I say take what you can, while you can and just frak like bunnies.

[damao2010.livejournal.com]

I've just got home from the movies, where I saw "Babies", the documentary. How appropriate for today's topic. LOL.
First of all, I'm sure Kara and Lee's babies would be so damn pretty. :)

Now, what kind of parents would they be? Hmmm...

First of all, I really don't think they would ever have a child on Galactica. This is what I picture: after everything they went through over the years, they have matured a lot and are both ready to make peace with their past and start anew. Their past is not forgotten though, so when they have a child, they are both aware of what not to do to avoid repeating the mistakes their parents had made. Lee is more confident that they are able to do it because he has found some closure with his father. Kara is more insecure because her traumas were greater. But they are together and there is nothing Starbuck and Apollo can't do when they work as a team. Lee will be more of an everyday disciplinarian than Kara, who will turn a blind eye to a lot of mischief from their kid (and will also encourage it, especially to tease Lee).

“Lee, Esther is not a name. It’s a sign that says ‘My daddy doesn’t want me to frak!’” Kara emerges from the head waving her arm over the head as though outlining a marquee.

“Esther is a fine name.”

“Then we’ll call you Esther.” She grabs the list and marks off three names. “Might be a step up from Leland.”

Lee rolls his eyes. “Fine. What do we have left?”

“All you names are boring.” Kara collapses with an exaggerated groan to the bed. “Don’t you think Baby?” She rubs her stomach, hard and ready to pop.

“They’re fine names, Kara.”

“If you’re name’s Leland.”

“Did you notice how I’m ignoring that?”

“And it’s very annoying.” She grins and tosses her tank at his head. Lee turns to find her in only her bra and underwear. The glint in his eye is obvious. “But I love that you think beached whales are sexy.”

“This one anyway.” He bends to rest his head against her protruding stomach for a moment before laying a line of kisses toward her briefs.

“Are you trying to curry my favor, Mr. Adama?”

“Hmm.” He hums against her damp underwear.

Gritting her teeth to keep focused. “I don’t hate Stella. I like that it means stars.”

“Hips.” He instructs.

“And Zachary in the middle is good for a boy.”

“Uh-huh.” Lee stands to strip.

“And Daphne’s ok. In the middle. And Gunnar. I like Gunnar.”

“You just like guns.”

She runs a toe up his arm and smirks as Lee comes to kneel between her legs. “Sure do.”

“But I think we have a couple of name, Mrs. Adama. Stella Daphne or Gunnar Zachary.”

“Nice use of distractionary tactics, Mr. Thrace. Now frak me.”

Lee just laughs and lifts her hips to meet his.

AWWWWW! It's sooooo adorable! *G*
