When he touched her, Kamea looked up at her mother, her eyes asking if this person was ok. Lani simply kissed Kamea's nose lightly and she seemed to take that as being an answer. Looking back at Starbuck, she stopped babbling for a moment and just sucked on her hand.
Lani's throat choked up when he looked at her like that. He was figuring it all out. Really it was not all that hard, still she could imagine the shock. Though on the other hand she really could not. She had known about Kamea all these years and he had just been in the dark. Kai had already given her the lecture on all this, as had her own mother. And Kaori's mother. And Kaori.
Giving a weak shrug, she didn't look at him. At that moment, she really could just not look at him. "I didn't even tell my mom till I was six months along. Plus, I don't know. Didn't want to tie you down to something I guess?" Kai had already told her that Starbuck was not the kind of guy to accept answers like that, but it was the truth. She was not about to lie abut what she did, that was not her style at all.
