Thanks for reading! This is my first fanfiction, so friendly reviews are appreciated. Thanks to Kittygirl65 for the encouragement. I've had this idea for awhile, but (thanks to school!) I just haven't had a chance to write it.
Disclaimer: Paramount owns Star Trek: Voyager and the characters, I don't. If I did, I wouldn't be writing a fanfiction about it. (duh!)

"Romantic dinner again?" B'Elanna asked Tom as she entered their cramped quarters. He was setting up dinner as he had been a couple days earlier.
"Well, we didn't get to eat our dinner last time, so I thought you might want to try again. " He explained as he lit a candle on the carefully set table. B'Elanna smiled and sat on the bed, setting her padd next to her. "How was Engineering today?"
"Pretty dull. The Bridge?" She replied.
"About the same. I zoned out for a minute and Captain scolded me." He replied with a smile on his face. B'Elanna couldn't help but laugh. She turned her head to look out the window at the stars streaking by, and noticed something out of the corner of her eye. She gasped.
"Tom," She nearly whispered. She slowly walked over, so she was crouching next to a beautiful antique crib. Just like he promised. It was white with a soft pink blanket. The mobile above had a model of Voyager and two Klingon Bird of Preys. "It's beautiful." She smiled. "It must have cost a fortune of rations."
"Yes, but not out of our account. The Captain said the rest of the crew donated a few rations each to pay for a crib. I found it in the database and made a few tweaks." He was crouching next to her now, with his hands on her shoulders. She was examining the Bird of Prey and Voyager. "Like it?"
"I love it." She answered happily and kissed Tom on the cheek. While she was examining the crib, she gasped and put a hand to her abdomen.
"What's wrong?" Tom panicked. "Is the baby okay? We should go to-" He was nearly halfway to the door.
"Tom!" B'Elanna stopped him, stood up, and walked up to him smiling. She could see the fear in his eyes, so she put her hands on his upper arms in an attempt to calm him. "The baby just kicked. I first felt it, this morning in Sickbay. I'm not used to it, so-" She was interrupted by Tom hugging her. She wrapped her arms around his waist and buried her face in his chest.
"Can I feel her?" He whispered. I could hear the smile on his face.
"What?" She questioned, pulling away to look him in the face.
"The baby, I mean. Can I feel her?" He asked again, still smiling.
"Of course." I grabbed his hand and placed it on my abdomen. She kicked harder than I'd felt her kick all day. We laughed joyfully together and embraced each other.
"She's perfect, B'Ella." He whispered in my ear. His arms were around my waist, mine around his neck.
"Yeah," I whispered back. "I know."
