A/N: I know that Picard and Crusher's son is still unnamed so I just made this one up for just now.
The New Adventures of Star Trek Voyager
Hostage of Gre'thor (part 1)
Deep in the Beta Quadrant.
The USS Titan; one of the new Luna class long range explorer ships. At this point she was holding position next to a stellar nursery, performing routine science exploration.
Captain William T. Riker sat on the couch in his ready room with his wife, his Imzadi, going over the last diplomatic situation. Deanna being the Titan's Diplomatic Officer as well as Chief Councillor.
"So we can at least establish that the Kandarans will be open to further relations in the future." Deanna said.
Riker relaxed back into the couch and said "Well now that that's out of the way. How about you go get Tasha and I'll meet you for dinner in half an hour."
Will smiled and kissed her on her check and moved to his desk to read a tactical report from Commander Tuvok, the Titan's chief tactical and second officer.
"I'll see you then." Deanna said as she left the ready room.

The Cresh on Titan was almost in the middle of the ship where T'Pel, Tuvok's wife was the child carer for the Titan.
Deanna entered and walked over to where T'Pel was currently placing a child down for a nap.
"Good evening T'Pel. How's she been today?" Deanna asked.
"Well behaved as always Commander." T'Pel said.
Deanna walked over to the crib where her two month old daughter laid. Natasha Miana Riker Troi.
Deanna bent down to pick up her daughter but before she could the ship was rocked by something hitting the ship.

Will Riker walked onto the Bridge after the first jolt.
"Report." He said.
"Energy blast impact on the port hull." Tuvok reported from the tactical consol.
Riker sat in his chair in the centre of his Bridge and called out to his crew. "Lt' Lavena, evasive manoeuvres. Tuvok return fire."
Lt. Aili Lavena, the pacifican helm officer entered the commands into the helm with her webbed fingers. While Commander Tuvok ordered the phasers to fire by entering the command into his controls.
The amber beam erupted from the dorsal phaser strip on the saucer section of the Titan as the ship began to fly around the attacker.
Another bolt shook the bridge crew as Tuvok glanced at his tactical consol.
"Captain, shields are down on deck six." Tuvok said.
At the security consol an alert signal sounded.
"Captain, intruder alert on deck six. The life signs read as Klingon. Their heading to the Cresh." Lt. Commander Ranul Keru; Titan's Chief of Security said.
Will's head spun to his First Officer; Commander Christine Vale. "Chris, get down there." He said
"Aye Captain." She said getting up. "Keru, Tuvok. Let's go." She said going to the turbolift.
=/\=
Riker continued to give orders to his crew during the battle but in the back of his mind he was worried about his wife and daughter. Everyone on the Bridge knew that he wanted to go down to them but they knew that he knew his place was on the Bridge.
Down in the Cresh three Klingons were trying to get in but were having difficulty on two fronts.
One being the force field that Deanna had erected and the other being Keru, Vale and Tuvok shooting at them from around the corner.
As they broke through the door they knocked Deanna and T'Pel unconscious and took one child before beaming out.
As the report came to the Bridge the Klingon ship flew away and entered a subspace tunnel.
"Pursuit course." Riker ordered and Titan flew in just before the tunnel closed.

One week later in orbit of Earth.
The USS Enterprise-E sat in Starbase 74 undergoing upgrades to the drive systems. Including a new Quantum Slipstream Drive.
Captain Picard sat in his quarters watching his wife and newborn son.
Beverly Crusher sat on the couch holding her son; Jackson Rene Crusher Picard. She smiled down at her son and looked at her husband.
"Penny for your thoughts." She said.
"I was just thinking that several months ago I thought that everything was lost and now here we are with our newborn son." He said back to her.
"Bridge to Captain." Worf's voice said over the com.
"Yes Number One." Picard said.
"There is a priority one message for you from Admiral Ross."
"Patch it down here."
Picard moved to his desk and activated the monitor.
"Authorisation; Picard four seven alpha tango."
The monitor blinked to show Admiral William Ross.
"Captain Picard." Ross said.
"Admiral, what can I do for you?"
"Is your slipstream drive online yet?"
"Commander La Forge estimates another day before its ready. Why?"
"When its ready proceed to these coordinates and rendezvous with the Aventine. The Titan is a week overdo for a check in."
"That's not like Riker. We'll head out as soon as possible."
"Ross out." And the monitor changed the Starfleet symbol.
Beverly looked worriedly at her husband and Picard said "I'm sure their fine Beverly. Will and Deanna are excellent officers." He said trying to reassure her but inside he was worried about their friends as well.

Delta Quadrant.
The Full Circle Federation Fleet was orbiting a highly energetic nebula. All three science vessels were inside the nebula continuing their research. With the other six ships holding position outside the nebula.
On Voyager, Lt. Commander Tom Paris entered his quarters to see his wife placing a Klingon Prayer mat on the floor.
"What's this?" He asked.
"It's midday." She said.
"I thought that you didn't follow that tradition?" He said knowing exactly what she was talking about.
"I decided when Miral and I were all alone together. I guess I wanted to start." B'Elanna said.
"Then do you mind if I join you." B'Elanna looked at him quizzically. "You know that I've always wanted you to embrace your Klingon heritage. Plus I'd want Miral to know where she came from."
B'Elanna was touched by his words and nodded. They both kneeled on the mat and B'Elanna began.
"Kahless, we implore you to remember those warriors who have fallen in your name. Lift them out of the cavern of despair and reveal yourself to them in all your glory. Remember those who fought valiantly to secure the empire and those who died to protect their allies within the Federation, remember Kulrag, son of Grav, remember L'Naan, daughter of Krelik, remember Miral, daughter of L'Naan, remember Owen, son of Micheal, remember Kathryn, daughter of Gretchen.
Tom noticed the stray tear that fell down B'Elanna's cheek.
"You ok?" He asked.
"Yes. It's just we've lost so many people."
Tom took her in his arms and held her tight. "I know, but we'll always remember them and they'll always be in our hearts and in our memories."
As Tom and B'Elanna stood Miral came running into the room with Kula chasing her.
"Commander's." Kula said acknowledging their presence.
"Kula, how's she been today?" Tom asked helping to wrangle his energetic daughter.
"Energetic as usual. Commander." Kula said.
"I'll bet."
"Bridge to Paris and Torres." Chakotay's voice said over the com.
"Torres here." B'Elanna said seeing that Tom was indisposed with Miral.
"We're picking up a distress call. I need you both up on the Bridge. We're taking the Esquiline and the Galen with us."
"On our way." Tom said putting his uniform jacket on. "Kula can you keep an eye on her for a while longer?"
"Of course Commander. It's what I'm programmed for." Kula said.
Tom smiled at Kula and waked out the door with B'Elanna.
Tom was always grateful that the template for the holographic nanny that B'Elanna designed was based on Kulrag. When they stayed on Borath, Miral took an instant liking to Kulrag.

The fleet disbanded and Voyager the Esquiline and the Galen broke formation and jumped to high warp.
