here, have five-minute fluffy, post-BSG babyfic
Caprica/Baltar, spoilers, I expect, blah, blah.
"It's a girl," said Gaius, staring down at the tiny thing in his arms. She was squalling her head off, kicking a bit, as though annnoyed to be held by him. Or just annoyed at the world in general.
Caprica smiled, looking exhausted and worn. Cottle was still deftly working on her, his cigarette unlit and tucked in a pocket while he made the rather primitive medical capabilities obey him and produce miracles. "Can I see her, Gaius?"
"Oh! Right, yes," still looking perturbed (as he had the entire length of the pregnancy), Gaius moved closer and bent to settle the baby in her mother's arms.
"She's so precious..." Delightedly counting her fingers and toes, Caprica kept the wriggling infant from falling off of her, and then settled her questing mouth at a nipple, wincing slightly as she latched on. "Oh, Gaius..."
"Yes, well, we should name her. Correct?"
"I'll need one for the birth record," Cottle grunted, settling back on his heels for a moment and eyeing Gaius with distaste.
"Something simple, then," suggested Gaius, "Jane, or Margaret."
"I was thinking Natalie," was Caprica's soft reply, her finger wrapped tightly in a tiny fist, her eyes distant.

Re: Natalie
And I didn't know that. Awesome!

I love it.

Hee. I love your Gaius.
no subject
Hooray!
My Gaius is... He is slightly uncertain about children, because while he might love them, he suspects they are loud and obnoxious--also, the last one he encountered led an interesting childhood of being kidnapped... A lot.
*g*
Thank you =)
no subject
He did hold Hera, though, and seem to love her at least a bit.
Thank you =)

Whoever would have thought that Caprica/Baltar would be the couple for which baby fic is unquestionably appropriate! :D Love her counting all the fingers and toes. Love Gaius being perturbed and Cottle being vaguely disgusted with him.
no subject
It's disturbing, because they are undeniably adorable. And Cottle pretty much hates everyone (especially Lee), but is going to keep them all alive anyway. (ok, so he loves Hera and Caprica. And Athena. But that's it)
And thank you =)

The name was hard to decide on! I almost went with Gina, but I wasn't sure if Caprica ever knew of her. Also, Gina is... possibly more a sore spot.

NATALIE. HYBRIDS. NATALIE.

Ahem.
Thank you! =D
