Welcome to my newest story, please feel free to rate and review. I'm kinda new at this and stretching my writing muscles as it were.

Rebel with a Cause.

"Computer time" Janeway growled tossing to her side for the final time before sitting up in bed.
"The time is 0300 hours" The mechanical voice of the computer chirped back.
This elicited another groan from the tired captain, rubbing her hands over her face, Janeway got out of bed and walked towards the replicator in her quarters. This was the third night in a row that she couldn't sleep and she was beginning to feel the drain on her own systems.
"Coffee, Black" she called and the replicator produced the liquid that sustained Janeway through these days of insomnia.
The captain sat down and began to read an engineering report on a PADD.

A large beeping awoke the sleeping captain, she stirred and stretched groaning at the pain in her back from falling asleep in her chair. The cup of coffee rested on her table still full and the PADD had fallen to the floor.
'Remind me to thank Be'lanna for her boring reports one of these days' she thought smiling slightly. After a sonic shower the captain was refreshed and out of her quarters just in time to make it to the bridge for the start of her shift at 0800 hours.
"Captain on the bridge" Tuvok called from his station giving his usual nod to his superior before returning to his console.
Janeway smiled at her friend before moving to the captain's chair relieving Commander Chakotay for his first break of the day. "Have a good breakfast commander" she called and he nodded and smiled,

"Hope you slept well captain" he replied. She nodded back blatantly starring at the console beside her.

Most of the alpha shift went smoothly and the captain retired to her ready room for the last part of her shift to go through some reports. She relaxed back into her chair at her desk feeling the knots in her neck tighten as she stretched. Her door chimed and Chakotay walked in carrying a handful of reports.
"You ready?" He asked setting the pile on her table.
She groaned slightly and sighed. "I suppose so" she laughed relaxing her back feeling the pain she winced slightly. Chakotay looked at her with a concerned face. "Are you alright Kathryn? You not sleeping again?"
She smiled at him gently. "How did you guess?" She laughed rubbing her shoulder.
"Intuition" he joked "Why don't you see the doctor he might be able to give you something to help you sleep?"

She smiled sipping her coffee and picking up the first PADD.
"What happened last time I took a sleeping hypo spray?" she spoke. "I missed an entire battle with the vidians."
"Fair point" he smiled picking up his own PADD "Well I hope these reports put you in a calming mood" he laughed "They are pretty routine luckily for us"
"That's good"
Janeway smiled. "Things seem to be going our way for once".
Chakotay was just about to reply when the captains con-badge beeped. "Captain you better come see this" Ensign Harry called over the con.
"On our way" Janeway replied putting down her PADD "Spoke too soon Comander" she laughed following him out of her ready room.
"report" she called looking at Harry.
The young Ensign responded. "Captain long range scans are picking up a ship… captain... it's got a Starfleet signature" He looked up at her "Captain it's transmitting a distress call on all subspace bands"
"Let's hear it" She called.
A crackly voice came over the speakers. "This is Ensign Sam Cook of the federation shuttle falcon, in need of immediate assistance, anyone." The voice cracked and the message ended.

Janeway turned to Tom Paris at the helm. "Tom get us there as fast as you can."
"Eye Ma'am" he called back "Should be there in 5 minutes"

Tuvok spoke up "Captain I'm picking up heavy damage on the shuttle"
Janeway turned to him "An attack?"
"Unlikely captain, there is no residual weapons or ship signatures in the area"

Janeway nodded.
"I'm picking up two lifesigns though they are very faint"

Tuvok responded as they approached the shuttle.

"Harry beam them to sickbay" Janeway responded.
"Eye Captain, energizing, I've got them" He replied.
"Captain the shuttle" Tuvok called before a shockwave rocked the ship. "has exploded" he responded looking at her sheepishly. "No damage".
"Doctor to the Captain" he called over the con.
"Janeway here doctor"
"Captain, you better come down here"
"On my way
" she began moving to the turbolift. "Commander you have the bridge"

Janeway arrived in sickbay to see the doctor and Kes rushing around treating the two new arrivals, a boy about Harry Kim's age and a girl who looked strangely familiar under all the damage.
"Doctor you called" she said looking at the EMH.
"Yes Captain I've stabilized them both, they were in a bad way, life support had failed and they were close to asphyxiation" He looked at his patients.
"Captain the reason I called you down is… somewhat an usual issue"
He called heading to the console in front of the bio-bed where the girl lay.

Janeway looked at the girl before looking at the image the doctor brought up.
"Doctor is this right?" She asked shocked.
"It's right Captain, this girl, she's your daughter"
The captain looked at the red hair of the girl who looked to be about 18 years old.
"Anna" she muttered under her breath.
