"Things between JustinB and myself did not last all that long. In some ways one could consider it a fling of sorts. Who knows any more, since so much has happened since then. When I had started seeing JustinB some way back when, I thought you were no longer interested and I tried my best to move on with my life as best I could." I could see the glint of a tear on her cheek in the room light lit the window. I grabbed my cane and got up from my chair. I stumbled as I got up. Sitting in the same chair for two centars tends to make certain things go to sleep. Rose turned around,saw me stumble, and rushed over to the other side of the desk and tried to catch me, but I flopped back down into the chair. "Is it that bad?" she asks. "Bad?" "Yea, you not being able to get up as easily as you could. Walking and talking normally." she said. "I'm..used to it..." I say. "You shouldn't have to be!! Don't you want to talk again, laugh again, walk again? Don't you want to be in a cockpit again blowing the pogees out of those garmonging tinheads?" This brings a cold chill to me. The Cylons. I feel the hatred well up in me for what they had done to me. "More...than you... know..." I say with an obvious fire in my eyes. I must have scared Rose, because she backed up a few steps. I noticed this and rose from the chair and tried to take a couple of steps. I knocked my knee on the desk and went down like a ton of bricks onto the floor. The frustration just welled up inside of me. Rose was there to hold me. "IT'S...NOT.... FAIR!!" I screamed. I broke down and cried into Rose's shoulder. "I know..I know... It wasn't your fault what they did to you. You tried your best to fight them." As she was saying this I felt something that I hadn't in a long time. Comfort. I looked into her eyes and saw..longing..yearning.. I got into a sitting position leaning against the desk. She moved closer to me so we were practically nose to nose. She moves in closer like she was going to give me a kiss...

Rose lightly leaned against Hawke's chest not sure if she should put a lot of her weight against him, for she wasn't sure what if any injuries he might still have at the moment. She lightly licked her lips a little before she closed the gap between them the rest of the way and slowly started to kiss Hawke on his lips. Both of Rose's hands were trembling slightly as she placed them on Hawke's shoulders just below his neck.
Rose had longed so to be with Hawke once more and yet she was unsure as to how he felt about her now though. She hoped that there still would be feelings and Rose wanted to find out all she could. Pulling back slightly, Rose looked into Hawke's eyes to see if she could figure out how he felt about her now.

Winny continued to drag a stumbling Haidee behind her. Haidee could only glare and frown at the back Winny's head. Her mind started to wander as she was getting pulled along. Haidee started to question herself and her abilities.
Can I actually help this person? I mean, it's been so long. This is a path I haven't been on since.... but the thoughts trailed off as she had to choke back a lump in her throat. She stopped paying attention as she crashed into the back of Winny. She looked up and saw Winny staring in an office with a look of shock. Haidee's gaze followed Winny's look to the couple on the floor. Her eyes widened in shock then her face turned red in embarassment as she realized their timing lacked and needed much work. Winny cleared her throat as both girls were looking away at this point. Rose jumped up and moved a step away out of reflex. Haidee watched Hawke move from behind Winny. Gently pushing past Winny, Haidee moved over to Hawke and helped him up gently. Winny grinned.
"Hawke, this is Haidee. Haidee, this is your patient." Winny said as she stood in the doorway.
Haidee looked back and seemed to say, "I can see now why you brought me here. I'll help all I can." with her eyes to Winny, then turned her attention to Hawke.
"Plea...sure ...to....meet...you." Hawke stammered.
Haidee smiled and nodded. Her eyes searched him over but helped him back to his chair gently. Winny interjected to say something...
"sir she doesn't speak much but you'll learn how to hear her talk."
"Then...how...can...she...help...me...talk...b-better?" Hawke was a bit uncertain now.
"oh I'm sure she'll get you back to talking in no time."
Haidee smirked at them both, then looked at Rose. She saw the concern on her face and offered a soft smile as if to say, "its ok - I'll help him. Soon he'll be back to normal". But the words never formed.
"still...not...sure...how."
Silence hung in the room. But a small whisper came forward.
"Believe. If you do not then you have failed already and I cannot help you." Haidee never looked at anyone, her face was hidden in her long hair as she looked down. Finally looking up she took Hawke's hand and moved it to his head then to his heart then pointed it at Rose then she gave him a stern look.
Believe or you will lose out on life, her eyes spoke to him.

Rose silently watched all that was happening before her. She wasn't sure exactly what Haidee was trying to get Hawke to understand when she had taken hold of his hand, then moved it towards his head, then his heart, and finally towards her. Rose noticed the stern look that Haidee gave Hawke and still wondered what she was trying to say to him without actually speaking to him right then with words.
Rose lightly bit her lower lip as she wrapped her arms around herself lightly while still trying to figure a few things herself. Some how she felt that Haidee could help Hawke even though she wasn't sure how at the moment. Slowly Rose stepped back over to where Hawke was now sitting in his chair and knelt down beside him. She looked up at Hawke from her kneeling position beside him. "Please try Hawke."

While we are on the floor, I look deep into Rose's eyes...I see... Longing, wanting...Is it possible she wants to get together again? She leans in on me and she kisses me. I'm a bit surprised, but I return the favor. I guess so. The door chimes.. "Damn" she says. "Come.." I say.
Winny comes through the door and stops abruptly with a surprised look on her face. Then a split micron later someone else bumps into her from behind. Haidee!!! I totally forgot they were coming..
Haidee's gaze followed Winny's look to where Rose & I were on the floor. Her eyes widened in shock then her face turned red in embarassment as she realized their timing. Winny cleared her throat as both girls were looking away at this point. Rose jumped up and moved a step away out of reflex. Haidee watched me asI get up off of the floor . Gently pushing past Winny, Haidee moved over to me and helped me up gently. Winny grinned.
"Hawke, this is Haidee. Haidee, this is your patient." Winny said as she stood in the doorway.
Haidee looked back and seemed to say, "I can see now why you brought me here. I'll help all I can." with her eyes to Winny, then turned her attention to Hawke.

Haidee smiled and nodded. Her eyes searched him over but helped him back to his chair gently. Winny interjected to say something...

"Then...how...can...she...help...me...talk...b-better?" I asked, a bit uncertainly.
"oh I'm sure she'll get you back to talking in no time." she grins at me.
Haidee smirked at them both, then looked at Rose. She saw the concern on her face and offered a soft smile as if to say, "its ok - I'll help him. Soon he'll be back to normal". But the words never formed.
"still...not...sure...how." I managed to say.
Silence hung in the room. But a small whisper came forward.
"Believe. If you do not then you have failed already and I cannot help you." Haidee said,her face was hidden in her long hair as she looked down. Finally looking up she took my hand and moved it to my head then to my heart then pointed it at Rose then she gave me a stern look.
Believe or you will lose out on life, her eyes spoke to him.
Was I that blind? Here I have a great support staff. I'd be a fool to reject this type of help. Did Haidee see what I couldn't with Rose? I look at Rose.. She gives me an affectionate look and nods. I look at Winny and she inclines her head toward Haidee as if to say "give her a try. What do you have to lose?" And Haidee... She is a very interesting woman indeed. I'll have to get to know her better. I smile at her. "You... have.... my.... attention.....What.. do... you... want.... me... to.... do?" I ask her.

Haidee sat back and smiled. She brushed her long hair out of her face. She motioned to him pointing at his chair then at the time to be there at 9 in the morning. With that she spun on her heels, making her hair swirl around her again and she headed out of the office, leaving Hawke and Rose to be alone.
As she headed to the medlab, Haidee's thoughts ran in her head. She wasn't sure she could do this but she really wanted to make it happen. She had to. She could tell he really wanted to heal and she could see it in Rose's eyes that she wanted her man back the way he was. Her eyes closed as she thought, I have to do this. I have to do this to prove to myself its ok.
She walked in and looked at the choas around her. Pilots wounded and the medstaff was going crazy!
Maybe I came at the wrong time? Her eyes searched for Holodoc and found her. Placing a hand on her arm, Haidee's eyes pleaded to see if she was needed. She awaited Holodoc's answer.

Rose wasn't sure what to make of things as to why this Lt Haidee that would be helping Hawke didn't speak much herself. She wondered what could of happened to cause her to withdraw into herself for the most part. Rose wondered what Haidee had in mind for the next morning in helping Hawke out, but she guessed that she was going to have to wait to find out tomorrow sometime.
Turning her attention back towards Hawke, Rose looked up at him from where she had been kneeling beside him and she smiled a little. "Alright now that you have met Haidee and know when to meet up with her to help you out, just what do you plan on doing until then?"

"Alright now that you have met Haidee and know when to meet up with her to help you out, just what do you plan on doing until then?" I look at her. "How.. about... we... go... down...to... the... O'Club... and.... have... some.... grog.... & ....catch... up?" I suggest. "I have a better idea. Do you still have the same quarters,on this tub, you did?" I just nod. Her face brightened. "C'mon... I have an idea..." she proceeded to get me up out of my chair. I knew what was about to happen. "Rose...I...." I protested.. She turns around. "What?" "Rose..I... just.. found... you... today. I.. love... you..I've... always... loved... you.... Don't.. get... me.. wrong.... I... want... to... do... this.. with... all.. my... heart.... But.... the.... timing... is... just... not... right.... Let's... go... to... the... O'club... and... catch... up, ok?" I awaited her answer.

Rose sighed softly as her shoulders seemed to go down slightly. She had been hoping for some quiet and alone time with Hawke without anyone intruding on their time together. Rose looked down for a moment and then back up at Hawke and licked her lips slightly. Carefully taking a couple of steps towards Hawke so as not to knock him of balance, Rose lightly wrapped her arms around Hawke's neck.
"I'll go down to the O'Club with you for awhile on one condition. That condition is that after a little time down in the O'Club we still go to your quarters for a little alone time with one another. Even if it is just to sit and talk some or even snuggle up to one another." Rose lightly laid her head on Hawke's shoulder hoping he would agree.

What was it? Why was I afraid to get closer to her? I had absolutely no idea. I just nodded and we headed down to the O' Club. "I..can't...drink...grog...anymore.... I made....a....promise to....someone...." I said.
