Chakotay paused at the Ready Room door. "Something the matter, Captain?"
She sighed, turning a PADD to reveal the picture of a newborn held by a woman who bore a striking resemblance to the one before him.
"Congratulations?" he offered.
"Yeah," she answered, incredulous. "I'm an aunt."
He smiled. "Aunt Kathy," he suggested. "I can't wait to hear someone call you that."
"We have to get home first," she reminded him.
He nodded. "Of course."
"Dismissed," she ordered, suddenly uncomfortable.
He lingered for a moment.
"Phoebe's baby doesn't hold a candle to our future child," he whispered as he exited.
