Cool :) I was kind of trying to to be TOO obvious, because I wanted the impact on Dee when he told her the story, but at the same time, I wanted it to be apparent :)
Yeah, a baby would almost not have been a good idea. The one reason it would have is because if Dee had had a baby, she would have not had only Earth left to hope for. I think if Dee had had a baby, she would not have shot herself. I know that people who have kids can commit suicide, but I actually saw that as the point of the whole Helo/Athena/Hera "here comes the Raptor!" scene. Helo and Athena were upset and discouraged and all that about Earth, but they could go on because their hope and their happiness was in their family, not in the dream of Earth. And I guess that's part of what broke Gaeta, too (and one of the reasons I sort of wish they hadn't added Hoshi in), because when he lost his refuge, that was when he snapped, too.
::sigh::
But a Kara/Sam baby would have been a spectacularly bad idea. (Although it's the one time I've ever found a mpreg fic funny, was a crack fic where Sam was the one carrying the baby.)
From you, I'm sure I'll be left curled up bawling. :)
Maybe :) Maybe not. I'm 17 pages in, and I only had one spot where I was like "ohh, this is sad!" I'm actually getting why Hoshi can go on after all this, and why he's so even on the surface. I'm also REALLY liking the character in my head.
