"I meant what I said yesterday, Molly," Lee says, and his voice is quiet, "I am not ready for this. But I'm not going anywhere."
He pauses, and all he can think of is that raptor flying away with his father on it, his mother yelling at him and Zak, the drinking. He knows that he and Molly are different people, but all he can think of is the two of them ending up there, and he doesn't want that for either of them.
"That's what my father did. He was a military man, not around a lot. He'd show up every couple of months, and then he was off on a battlestar again. I guess... I don't know, I guess all I could think about when you told me you were pregnant was that I don't want us to end up like that. And I don't want to end up like my father."
Maybe this is something he should have come clean about last night instead of leaving. Or maybe he'd needed the night to realize how close he was coming to losing everything all over again.
