Disclaimer: I don't own Battlestar Galactica. If I did, Lee would be a Cylon so I could have my own personal copy.

This is my first ever fanfiction story, so please go easy.

By the way, I need a beta reader, so if anyone is willing, please review!

This story is completely AU after the season 1 finale.

Summary: What if Dee hadn't convinced Commander Adama to go back to Kobol?

A Father's Love

"Sir, I'm detecting multiple dradis contacts," Gaeta called out as Commander Adama stepped into the CIC.

"Is it the Cylons?" Asked Tigh.

"I'm picking up Colonial transponders sir." Dee replied. "It's the rest of the fleet sir."

"Put me through to the Astral Queen Dee." Adama ordered gruffly as he picked up the phone.

"Madame President. I request a meeting with you on the Galactica in two hours." Adama told Roslin before briskly hanging up the phone and walking out of CIC.

William Adama walked down the corridors of the Galactica, heading for his quarters. He really wasn't looking forward to this meeting. He was mad. Mad at his son for betraying him, and mad at Roslin for convincing him to. If he had to admit it, he really wasn't mad at Roslin for any reason other than that she had lied to him. She hadn't really done anything wrong to warrant removing her from her position, but she lied to him, and that had ticked him off.

She had promised him that military matters would be left to him, and that he would leave civilian matters to her. He had kept his promise and stayed out of all things civilian. She had broken her promise, took a military asset, and had two of his people betray him. He removed her more for braking her promise to him, than actually putting the fleet at risk.

He was also mad at Lee, because he had figured that out. Lee knew that the coup was personal, not military, and that it was wrong to participate in it. He himself had told Lee to do what he thought was right, and Lee did. He really shouldn't be mad at him for that. Lee did as he thought was right, and what really was right, it just made him mad that what was right, didn't correspond with what he wanted to do.

The most painful part of the betrayal, however, was that Lee had left him before he had even woken up from the coma. He thought he had heard Lee talking to him, but when he woke, Lee was gone. Gone of on some suicide mission to Kobol to follow the president. He chose to follow her instead of staying with his father. That just downright hurt.

As he got to his quarters, Bill realized he only had a few more minutes until the dreaded meeting was set to start. He sat back and braced himself for what was to come. He didn't want this confrontation, but he needed to see his son to ensure that he was all right. Now he just needed to think of what he was going to say to him.

Short chapter I know, but I don't want to go on if it's really bad. So if you want more, you're going to have to click on the little review button and say so! I have chapter two written, so when I get just one review, I'll post it.
