The Story:
Janeway and Chakotay entered the large building. It had been renovated to look like it had when it was built more than 100 years ago. The da Vinci arts building was it's name. The made their way up to a box office where they waited for the show to begin, also in the box were Seven, The Doctor, their adopted child, Marnie, Tom and B'Elanna. Harry had wanted to come but had been busy.
"Ami and Jo'Kath perform in a lot of performances." Seven whispered to Marnie who was currently staring in awe at the lights as they tested them.
"I think they may be slightly obsessed with dance." Tom stated looking through the names of who was performing when and seeing that Ami was in a total of 6 dances and Jo'Kath was in 5.
There was a knock at the box's door.
"Come in." Chakotay said loudly.
The door opened and John stepped in. He looked exactly like his father Chakotay, but had his mothers stubbornness. Janeway stood up and ushered him into a seat to her right and whispered into his ear:
"I think you'll enjoy the music for your sisters first dance. It from the 20th century, 'Who are you?' by The Who."
"Yeah, maybe."
-
"It'll be fine." Chakotay sighed comforting his crying captain.
Even when she was slightly hysterical she was lovely.
Her mood swings had been the only symptom of her pregnancy. Currently he had no idea why she was crying. It might have been something, he concluded. She was seven months pregnant and he could barely reached around her so he rubbed her back. She stood up and tried to replicate herself a cup of coffee but got tea instead which caused more crying. The doctor had put a ban on her drinking of coffee while she was pregnant and she hated that fact.
"Please leave." She said pushing Chakotay out of her quarters. From outside he could hear her sobbing.
-
The music for the first dance started. The kids on stage looked about thirteen, which was when they started taking dancers into da vinci's dance program. This ensured that they had some knowledge of dance knew what they were getting themselves into and of course, most of them were on Pointe.
The kids on stage were barefoot during this dance however. It was dance full of quick music. Janeway looked at the program. It was printed on paper, sometimes that was nice. It could be more easily saved on paper. The dance was called 'Over'. She looked up to see the dance ending. The audience of nearly 1500 erupted with applause. She liked the recitals better than ballet plays. Recitals were more fun.
The next dance came and went and then music that had been written nearly 900 years started. The music and choreography went well together and it was very technical.
"Every time I see Amelia she just looks more and more like you." The doctor whispered into her ear. "And acts more like you. Did you know she skipped her last appointment...?" His words faded out.
- "Here she is captain!" The doctor called holding a small baby girl up to her. The baby was crying madly. You could tell just by looking at her that she was Janeways daughter. The only hint of Chakotay in her was that her hair was slightly darker than Janeway's.
As Janeway took her and held her she immediately stopped crying. Chakotay looked at the baby feeling prouder than ever. he could have sworn that the baby was glaring at the doctor who was off entering the Date of Birth into a computer. It wasn't possible but he still thought so.
"I'll need a name now captain." the doctor said looking up. Janeway looked at Chakotay and smiled. Then she looked at the doctor and said:
"Amelia Joan Kyzad Janeway" The named seemed to suit the child as she dozed sleepy in Janeway's arms.
-
"Kathryn?" Chakotay whispered in a concerned voice seeing her slightly sad look.
"What?" She asked dazed.
"Are you okay?"
"Yes. Just sleepy."
"Okay." She turned back to the piece. It was almost over. Currently Ami was doing jete's across the stage. The whole dance was quite gorgeous. The music even added to that. She was performing with Jo'Kath who was now doing a Jete over Ami. Ami stood up and the spun together, arms in the air and back to back they fell to the ground for the end of their dance.
A gothic song started. It had deep notes that flowed with the puffy dresses and masked faces of the performers. She looked at the list of performers in this dance. Ten girls and two guys. Six people in navy blue suits with gold trims spun on and begun dancing with the ladies in skirts.
-
"I think we should take dancing lessons." Chakotay said thoughtfully as he watched Jo'Kath and Ami "dancing" on Voyager.
Neelix was having a party for all of the voyager crew members, and the two three years olds were jumping around wildly next to each other to a slow dance song.
John batted at Chakotays face. He was one year old next week.
Voyager had been back for two years now. "It's hard to believe how controlled they look on stage." Janeway laughed looking at them swatting at each other. She looked at the clock it was eight o' clock.
"Amelia!" She called. The three year old looked at her mother. "Were going to leave now..." Janeway said in her captain voice.
"No!" She slightly yelled back.
"Come on time to go." "I don't want to go."
"Well then were just going to leave without you." Her plan backfire. Ami replied 'Okay!' and headed into the crowd.
"She is defiantly your daughter." Harry said from behind.
-
Five dance pieces later it was intermission.
"Admiral?" The Doctor inquired.
"Yes?" She asked turning around in her seat.
"Is Amelia eating enough? Does she disappear to the bathroom after meals? Is there any chance she's anorexic?"
"What!" She almost jumped out of her seat.
"Well, she's extremely skinny and I was just wondering for her sake. We like to believe that no one does that to themselves anymore but it simply isn't true."
"I can assure you that Ami is not Anorexic for many reasons. a) She had been small all her life, b) She is teenager and therefore has a very fast metabolism, c) She dances a lot and dancers are traditionally very skinny and d) I have seen her eat three sandwiches four pieces of cake and still be hungry." Janeway said this rather defensively, but it was true. Chakotay had taken to calling her the bottomless pit.
-
"Mommy?"
Ami's head poked up from underneath a table.
Once again they
were in space, a two year mission.
Nothing compared to
Voyager.
She was drinking coffee, she was stressed out,
she had
too much work to do so she hadn't eaten breakfast.
Or
anything for the past couple days.
"You have to
eat breakfast. It's the most important
meal of the day!" Ami
recited importantly.
"I don't have time to eat
breakfast, honey." She
replied.
"If you have time
to drink coffee you have time to eat
breakfast."
John
stood behind Ami, looking at Janeway. He rarely
talked
particularly considering he was four, mostly he
just agreed with
what Ami said. For a six year old she
was pretty opinionated and
loud about everything.
Ami motioned to John and he
revealed a muffin that he
had been hiding behind his back. There
were a couple
small finger prints in it Janeway noticed as
Ami
handed her the muffin.
"Now eat it!" Ami was quite forceful about it.
-
Intermission
was over and a new dance started, the
music was rather annoying,
but the dancers some how
were able to pretend that they were
enjoying this
performance.
The song ended and Ami came
on. This was a tap piece,
according to Ami she sucked at tap and
it didn't help
her to smile that the song was really
depressing.
Janeway had to agree with her about the music, it
was
depressing, just hearing it made to want to cry, the
song
was sad but the dancing was furious and full of
emotion. It was a
love song and a suicide song. She
looked over at Chakotay who had
tears in his eyes,
Tuvok who had been unable to come to the first
part of
the show was watching with his usual unemotional face
but
you could tell he sensed the feelings way deep
down.
The
piece ended and there was a couple seconds pause
more than the
usual reaction time of a piece ending
for the applause to
erupt.
The next piece was well placed. It was to Le Freak
by
Chic a band from the 1980's. It was very happy the
costumes
were cute and worked well next to the last
piece at the end
Janeway still felt a little sad
because of Ami's dance and was
relived to find the
next dance was also very
happy.
-
"Mommy wake up!" She heard
the words far off in the
distance, it must have been 0100 hours.
She didn't
want to wake up. "Ami's hurt!" That got her up.
In
five seconds she was dressed and out the door heading
to the
doctors.
"It's okay." The Doctor said cheerfully.
"Just a
broken wrist! I can mend it in a second!"
Janeway
was still in a slight panic mode. Ami had
gotten hurt and broken
her wrist was all that she had
heard. She hadn't heard the part
that Ami's wrist was
no longer broken.
The next
day she was still a bit hysterical about it.
Chakotay was trying
to calm her down Ami even did a
couple cartwheels to show her that
she was better,
that, however, may not have been the best plan to
make
her feel better.
She took the next week off.
-
A solo for Jo'Kath came next. It was to
one of the
weirdest songs Janeway had ever heard before.
It
was a sort of Betoveen's Fifth-like piece except
with some
techno aspects.
She looked at the name of the piece and
due to the
sound of rustling papers others were defiantly
doing
the same. It was called Betoveen's Fifth- The
Techno
Version. Of course. It was always the obvious names
wasn't
it?
Five acts later a man come one stage, he was wearing
a
skin colored leotard. It clung to him showing his
muscles. He
was quite graceful.
Jo'Kath came on next and did the
same steps as the
first man, although he did not have the same
body
structure. He was quite small. He too, was wearing the
skin
colored leotard.
Ami another girl came on at the same
time. They were
wearing the skin colored leotards too. The other
girl
was large compared to Ami. They did different moves
than
the guys, more splits and less jetes.
All four of them
stood in the middle of the stage
clinging to each other, it was
very intament.
Then the music started. It was Called 'Imagine'.
-
"Captain?" A familiar voice said.
She opened her eyes. It was Chakotay.
"What
happened?" She asked. She had a throbbing
headache ached all
over and was extremely tired.
"You fainted." The
doctor interrupted he was smiling
for some reasons. He turned to
Chakotay "Do you want
to tell her?" he asked. Chakotay smiled
said sure, and
turned to Janeway.
"Were pregnant!"
He said happily, after the moment it
took Janeway to realize what
he meant she was
extremely happy.
"Where's Ami?
Where's John?" She asked wishing to tell
her two children the
wonderful news.
"Who's Ami and do you mean Crewman
John Retron?"
Chakotay asked confused, The Doctor was confused
too.
"Never mind." Janeway replied.
-
Imagine
there's no heaven, Imagine there's no countries, Imagine no
possessions, You may say I'm a dreamer,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below
us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for
today...
It isn't hard
to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine
all the people
living life in peace...
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or
hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing
all the world...
but I'm not
the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world
will live as one.
