Meeting Somewhere Different
Fandom: Star Trek: Voyager
Rating: T
Pairing: J/C
Summary: AU. While on a walk Kathryn Janeway meets a new friend and things just go…
Disclaimer: Obviously Kathryn and Chakotay aren't mine. I also used a prompt to get the creativeness working it goes as follows: "Person A and Person B meet at a park that B takes their child to and A walks their dog".This was found on tumblr.
Author's Note: As this is and AU there is no Voyagerand Chakotay is not part of the Maquis either so he doesn't know B'Elanna. A lot of Voyager's character's won't be featured but new characters will be introduced and I hope they are as like as them.
I hope to get maybe 10-12 chapters but that may change over time. Your reviews mean a lot to mean often give me inspiration to post something so please do leave them
Thanks

Chapter 1: The Park
It had been a 3 months since Kathryn Janeway had walked through San Francisco's central park, she was calmed by the air surrounding her and the gentle tug of the leash, a constant reminder that her dog Molly was still with her. Her fiancé Mark, didn't like going, while she was away she'd been forced to let her sister's family dog-sit for her.
Since their move into the mainframe of San Francisco 3 months ago Chakotay and his daughter, Mae, took a walk around the park. He was always calmed by the outdoors and he wanted Mae to love and embrace it too. It was already clear that she loved the area and as it was Friday she knew it was 'Ice Cream day'. The girl with black hair sprinted to 'their' seat and stopped, someone else was sitting there. Her big eyes stared before straightening her back and walking over.
"Why are you sitting here?" she asked, the sudden voice causing the woman to jump slightly. She turned and smiled, instantly taking Mae by surprise, she was beautiful. It didn't matter she had stolen her seat she could stay there forever.
"I didn't realise you had reserved it." The woman answered somewhat awkwardly. Kathryn wasn't used to children, yes, her sister had children but she only saw them once maybe twice a month.
"I'm sorry. I was…surprised." She sat down bedside the woman and swung her legs as she looked up. "I'm Mae." The little girl spoke after sometime
"Nice to meet you Mae, I'm Kathryn." The older woman held out her hand and eagerly the child shook it. "So where's your mom or dad?" she asked, concerned slightly.
"My mommy died when I was a baby" she looked down sadly "but my daddy is getting me ice cream, because it's Friday" She perked up and Kathryn could see the excitement build up in her eyes.
"I'm sorry about your mom." She looked up and saw a tall man with black hair and brown eyes much like Mae, only above his left eye was a tattoo.
"Made a new friend have we, Mae?" he asked sitting on the end of the bench with two ice cream pots in his hands.
"Yup, this is Kathryn." She smiled and turned to Kathryn "this is my daddy, Chakotay, he's very nice" if Kathryn had known Chakotay better she would have said he was blushing. Mae began talking again, casually addressing them both, as if they were both her parents. Kathryn's communicator went off and Kathryn jumped up, as if on alert.
"I have to go Mae. Maybe I'll see you tomorrow." She smiled and whistled for Molly who had been stretching her legs "Molly" she shouted. Mae watched intently as a beautiful copper furred dog came bounding over. Clasping the dog to the leash, Kathryn waved goodbye to the little girl and her father. Once out of sight Mae turned to her father and smiled.
"She's beautiful." She stated.
"Irish Setters often are Mae" he smiled collecting her empty ice cream pot and disposing it. As they walked out of the park and towards their home Mae giggled.
"I wasn't talking about the dog, daddy." And dragged the stunned man along the bustling street.
