Why this must be read:
In the miniseries, Roslin said "We need to start making babies." Aside from the abortion plotline, the show didn't really deal with that. Well, fanfic authors filled the gap, and this is one of the better ones. Lee is, as we all know, the king of emo manpain, and so his response when he does his duty and contributes to the sperm bank is, well, angsty. But it's restrained, and realistic, and heart-tugging.
"Good visit?" Kara says, when he returns, before he can sneak off the flight deck. Lee grunts-- he doesn't like talking about this with Kara. He doesn't like talking about it, period. He was one of the first, and it's still too new to be common.
Men are too prone to nudge him and wink and talk about impregnating a lesbian couple, as though Lee himself had been there when it happened. No matter how often he explains that the women selected him from the catalog, and received his semen in a frozen straw, men deal with the tension implicit in this situation by conjuring up pornographic fantasies. Women, especially military women, tend to go tense and quiet. Kara makes loud jokes about it, which is, for her, the same thing.
"It will get easier," his father says, and Lee wants to believe him, wants to believe that their society will adapt to this, as it has adapted to so many other changes, but he's not sure that he can.
Fatherhood
There's a very good remix of it, too, Fatherhood (If Ever You Did Believe Remix) bypoisontaster.
