Uncertainty

Author's Note: My response to VAMB's 2015 Secret Summer Challenge. PiOneOneZero's prompt: "I'd really like a J/C happy ending story, which features the following quote: "Maybe one day we'll find that place where you and I could be together. And we'll catch our dreams within the waves of change. So smile for me one last time and believe that we'll meet again. Until then I'll be missing you" R. . How you use it and the rest of the story are up to you :-) Special thanks to Hester for her stellar beta services. Enjoy!
Kathryn Janeway sat at her desk, her chin cradled in her hand as she looked at the computer terminal. She was unable to sleep, which was certainly not unusual. But the reason for her insomnia was. She sat back in the chair, sighing to herself as she let her eyes slide closed. It was the first peace her heart had known in weeks, and that her body and mind had known in days. With the most recent crisis over, she tried to relax, but she was just too keyed up to be able to.
Her mind wandered, and her gaze eventually followed it to the figure that lay sleeping in her bed. His face, newly healed, was relaxed in slumber, the lines around his eyes and mouth easing for the first time in weeks. He's certainly earned it, she thought to herself, a small frown crossing her own features. Thoughts of Chakotay prompted her to her feet, and she moved silently to stand in the doorway. And as she watched him sleep, she wondered just how in the world they managed to get here.
