Kathryn walked into Astrometrics to find the most terrible sight she ever saw. Her husband was kissing Seven.
CHAKOTAY! Kathryn looked as if she was going to faint.
Kathryn it's not what you think!
Oh well what is it then?
Um!
Exactly! How could you do this I thought you loved me?
I do!
You are sure picking a great way of showing it.
Captain I assure you………
Stay out of this Seven you have done enough!
Kathryn turned around and left Astrometrics and started toward her cabin. Chakotay was close behind her when she reached the door. Kathryn!
Chakotay there isn't anything you can say to make this better. Goodbye.
Kathryn slammed the door.
Three days later……………….
Kathryn had not been feeling to well so she decided to go to sickbay before she went to the bridge. Kathryn walked into sick bay and was greeted by the doctor.
Well captain is something wrong?
Hello Doctor actually I haven't been feeling to well.
Well hop onto the biobed, and lets see what is wrong.
Kathryn lay down on the biobed, and the doctor scanned her twice.
Well doctor what's wrong?
Well nothing is wrong captain you are perfectly healthy, and congratulations your Pregnant.
I'm pregnant.
Yes, about two months along.
Thank you doctor.
Kathryn walked out of sickbay and tapped her com badge.
Captain to Tuvok !
Yes Captain.
Please inform commander Chakotay that he has the bridge for the rest of the day I'll be in my ready room?
Aye Captain.
In her ready room Kathryn sat on her couch. She didn't know weather to cry or faint. She was happy about this, but was still uneasy about she walked into just three nights ago. Did Chakotay really love her or was she going to have to raise this innocent child on her own she didn't want to talk to Chakotay after he broke her heart. Should she event tell him? Finally she decided he had a right to know. Kathryn tapped her comm. badge trying not to let her voice betray her true feelings.
Captain to Chakotay
Yes Captain
Please Report to my Ready room at once.
On my way Chakotay out.
A few minutes later the Commander entered her ready room to find a very professional looking captain sitting at her desk.
Kathryn you wanted to see me?
Yes please sit down Commander.
Kat let's stop the captain and commander stuff we are in private. I love you!
Like you loved me when you were kissing seven. Anyway we have other important matters to discuss.
Kathryn please let me explain?
You have one minute Commander.
Kathryn I wasn't cheating on you honest! Seven, the doctor, and have been working on her people skills.
So!
Well up in till the other night she had be practicing kissing on a date with holograms, and she wanted to try it on a real person.
There are 70 other men on this ship.
I know, but she wanted to do it with me because she felt safe, and she knew it would not go anywhere else. I am so sorry darling I should have cleared it with you first. I love you Kathryn and I don't want anything to come between us. I also would never do anything to hurt you. He walked over to the desk and led her to the couch. Kathryn I don't love anyone, but you.
Kathryn started to cry and cuddled up to Chakotay.
Really?
Yes! Kat.
Oh Chakotay I was such a fool I should have known you would never hurt me. I'm just so tired and I have something to tell you.
What?
I'm pregnant!
You are?
Yeah I just found out today. I think that is why I jumped to conclusions because I'm so tired and my hormones are out of whack. Are you ok with this?
I'm fine honey this is the best thing in the world we are going to have a baby!
Oh Chakotay I'm so glad you are happy.
I'll tell you what why don't we give Tuvok the bridge and go rest a little bit.
Sounds good to me.
Chakotay hit his comm. badge.
Chakotay to Tuvok
Yes commander
You have the bridge for the rest of the shift.
Yes commander!
Chakotay severed the link and took a still crying Kathryn into his arms.
Shh Honey what's wrong?
Nothing!
You're scared aren't you?
No!
Kathryn!
I'm petrified.
Why?
Chakotay I can't be a mom I'm a starship captain. What is the crew going to think, not to mention my age, and this is a starship. What if I'm not a good mom? She started to cry harder
Shh! Listen Angel you are a captain and a dam fine one. The crew is going to be thrilled. and as for your age you are not old women have had babies that were way older than you are. You are also going to be a great mom!
How can you be so sure?
I see you with Naomi. You light up every time you see her, and you just adore her. I saw you putting her to sleep the other day you looked so natural.
I guess your right.
I know I am! When do we want to tell the crew?
Tomorrow at the Staff meeting would be the best time.
Ok tomorrow it is I love you
I love you to.
