"B'Elanna? You up?" Tom's voice cut through the darkness of their room. It was 2 years after they had arrived back at Earth.
"Ugh, Tom, it's the middle of the night. Just go to bed already." The irritation in B'Elanna's voice was obvious.
"Well, I've been thinking. You remember that time I passed the warp 10 threshold?"
"And turned into a lizard? Yes. It's pretty hard to forget something like that."
"Those lizard babies we left behind would be 9 years old today." B'Elanna groaned.
"Really? You woke me up for that?"
"I mean, technically, you're their step-mother. We could throw a party for them-"
Tom was cut off as B'Elanna hit him with her pillow.
"If you say another word, I'll suffocate you. Don't wake me up again, you hear?"
As B'Elanna drifted off to sleep again, she could hear Tom humming Happy Birthday softly to himself.
