Chapter One: Chekov Finally Asks Lydia

Author's Note: Before you read this little sequel, you need to read, Where I Am to understand a lot of things that are about to happen.

I was with Bones and he was fixing up a red shirt who got hurt in the engineering room.

"Alright, you can't go back to the engineering room for a week due to your cut," Bones said.

"Thank you Dr. McCoy," He said. Bones didn't say anything and the guy left.

"So kid, how's being stuck in space working out for you?" Bones asked me.

"It's still okay. I basically know the whole ship now," I said.

"How many times did you get lost?" Bones asked me.

"Only twice, but I have Chekov," I smiled.

"I know you have Chekov," Bones grumbled.

"Anyway, what do you need me to do?" I asked.

"I need you to do an exam on Chekov," Bones smirked at me.

"Oh you sneaky little-"

"Watch it, missy. I'm still in charge of you," Bones said. I glared at him a bit before walking away from him.

"Med bay to the bridge," I said through the com.

"Yes, Dr. Oswald?" I heard Jim ask.

"I need to examine Chekov for his daily check up," I said.

"Okay. I'll send him up," Jim said.

I got the things prepared and Chekov walked in.

"Hello, Dr. Oswald," Chekov smiled.

"Hey, Chekov. Have a seat," I smiled. He sat down and I walked over to him.

"You know, you can still call me Lydia," I smiled.

"Zhen you haff to call me Pavel or Pasha," He said.

"Pasha? I like it," I said as I started the check up.

"Vhat's it like being a doctor now?" Chekov asked.

"Kinda stressful. Everyday a red shirt would walk in and we would have to fix them up. I'm glad you're not a red shirt anymore," I said.

"Vhy's zat?" He asked me.

"Because I don't think I could handle seeing you hurt," I told him truthfully. He looked up at me and I looked away. I felt the heat rise up to my cheeks and I continued the procedure. I checked his heart and noticed it was beating really fast.

"You feeling okay Pasha?" I asked.

"Da. Vhy?" He asked.

"Your heart rate is going up," I told him.

"Really?" He asked me.

"Yeah."

"Maybe it's because I'm vith you," He said. I stared at him and I could feel heat rise up to my cheeks. I smiled and looked down.

"Oh. Well, maybe I should let the nurse finish this part," I said.

"Okay."

I called over a nurse and she finished the heart part. She gave me the results and she looked at me and Chekov.

"You two should date," She whispered. I blushed madly and she walked away.

"Well Pasha, you are healthy and doing okay. You're free to go," I said.

"Oh okay. Bye Lydia," Chekov said.

"Bye Pasha," I smiled. He smiled back and walked away.

After the long day, I walked over to my room until I heard a voice call out for me.

"Lydia! Vait for me!" I heard. I turned around and saw Chekov there.

"Hey, Pasha," I smiled.

"Hey Lydia," He said.

"I was just walking over to my room," I said.

"Long day?" He asked me.

"Yeah. You want to walk with me?" I asked.

"Sure. Haff you ever been to Russia?" Chekov asked.

"No."

"Really? Maybe vhen ve go back to Earth, I can show you Russia," Chekov suggested.

"Okay cool. I've always wanted to go to far off places," I told him.

"Russia iz great!" Chekov said.

"I will take your word for it."

I made it to my door and I looked over at Chekov.

"Well, this is my stop. I'll see you tomorrow," I said.

"Unless you want to go look at ze stars?" Chekov suggested.

"Aren't we going to get into trouble?" I asked.

"It vill be okay. Trust me," Chekov grabbed my hand and we ran off. We went to an empty room with a window that showed the stars.

"Wow. This place is amazing! How do you know about this place?" I asked.

"I like to look around vhen I cannot sleep," Chekov said stretching the back of his neck.

I sat down by the window and Chekov sat next to me.

"It's really pretty," I said looking out.

"You vreally are," Chekov sighed. I turned to look at him and he started to blush and look away.

"I-I-I can explain!" He said.

"Don't need to Chekov. I really like you too," I said. He looked back at me and I looked up at him. I leaned my head onto his shoulder and he wrapped an arm around me.

I woke up to see I wasn't in my room. I turned to the side to see Chekov on the side next to me soundly asleep. I smiled softly at him as I got out of the bed. I heard him move and moan a little.

"Vhat time iz it?" He mumbled.

"It's seven o'clock. I have to go and get ready," I said.

"Please stay," Chekov said as he grabbed my hand.

"I wish," I said. I kissed his head and I left the room. I stared to walk back to my room until I heard a voice.

"What were you doing in Chekov's room?" I turned around and saw Jim walking towards me.

"Hey, captain," I said.

"What were you doing in Chekov's room?" Jim repeated. He crossed his arms and stared at me.

"Sleeping. Nothing happened. Chekov and I were staring out at space and we got sleepy. Chekov carried me to his room and we fell asleep," I explained.

"I see. You know, Lydia. I approve of Chekov," Jim said.

"Oh god," I said rolling my eyes. I walked to my room and made sure my door was locked.

I freshened up a bit before walking to the med bay. Bones stood there as if he was waiting for me. His arms were crossed and he gave me a look and I just stared at him confused.

"What?" I asked.

"Jim told me you slept in Chekov's room. Is there anything we should know?" Bones asked.

"Nothing is happening," I said.

"Right. Look, kid, Chekov is a nice guy and-"

"Bones. Stop. Please," I said.

"Alright. Alright."

I grabbed the medical supplies and started to put them away. I climbed onto the stool and started to stack them on the top shelves first.

"Lydia?" I heard. I jumped in surprise and slipped from the stool. I gasped in surprise and I felt someone catch me.

"I got you. I got you," I heard a Russian accent say. I looked at Chekov and sighed in relief.

"Chekov. You scared me then saved me," I said.

"I am sorry," He put me down and I fixed my dress.

"What's up?" I asked.

"I vas vondering if you like to haff dinner vith me tonight?" He asked.

"I'd like to join you. Thanks for the invite," I smiled.

"Vonderful! I vill see you tonight zhen?" Chekov asked.

"Yeah. I'll see you tonight."

Chekov left and I quickly finished up the supplies. I got down and I saw Jim there.

"Captain," I smiled.

"You and Chekov going on a date?" Jim asked me.

"My love life is not for your entertainment," I said sternly.

"I know but I'm just wondering. You and Chekov like each other very much," Jim said.

"We do."

"Thank god he asked you out, though," Jim smiled though as he jumped onto the cot.

"Off," I said sternly. Jim got off and I fixed the cot. Once, I finished fixing it, I looked back at him.

"You know if you and Chekov need any advice, I'm here for you," Jim said winking at me. I rolled my eyes at him before going back to work.
