It felt good to rest.  This was the first time in years she felt she truly could.  They’d been granted their miracle.  She did not think she’d live to see it.  In truth, she’d begun to doubt that any of them would.  But here they were.  Broken, yet still searching, still hoping, still improbably alive.  A habitable planet now found quite literally

Thank you so much! I love Hera and Laura interaction too. I wish we'd gotten to see more. And I wasn't really thinking of Independence Day, but once you mentioned it, I remembered exactly what you were referencing. It just seemed like such a Laura/MM thing to say and now I know why. :)

What a gorgeous fic. Seriously, nearly made me cry, and I like to think I'm a total hard arse.

LOL! Well I'm glad I can even make the hardest arses get a little misty. :) Glad you enjoyed this, and thanks for the feedback.

I absolutely adore this fic Davnee! The interactions between Hera and Laura and wonderful and I love this bit at the end...

“Of course. There’s no place more important for me to be.”

“Liar,” she hummed, reveling in his quiet laughter as he stood and helped to rearrange her pillows and pull her blanket more snugly about her.

Awww, thanks! I really wanted to give Laura the opportunity to hug Hera at least once more, before she, well you know, did that thing we are all in denial about. ;) So glad you like this fic. I enjoyed writing it.

Sweet dreams,” the girl told her with a broad grin before quickly moving back down to lay her head against her breast, an arm thrown around her middle hugging her tightly. She had grown so thin and delicate that the child’s grasp enveloped her fully.

One of so many beautiful images in this fic, this was touched with sadness. I love how settled laura is in this fic, content to be where she is, unafraid of her future (and content for Bill as well). It's like a wonderful sigh of relief.

I loved reading it again.

Thanks! It's good to know that Laura came across as settled and content in this fic. That was what I was aiming for. I wanted to convey that feeling of peace I believe she had at the end, and make clear that she did believe she had fulfilled her destiny, at least in some fashion, and felt she could move on without regret. That and I just wanted more Laura/Hera! :)

*waves hello* Missed ya! I'm so glad you enjoyed this fic. I really enjoyed writing it. Made me feel good to give Laura a little quiet contentment before the end.
