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.
