"Let's have a baby." Kathryn glared up at him; "you're joking."Her husband took the pad out of her hand "I'm dead serious." Kathryn came out from behind her desk and sat next to him. "Chakotay my childbearing years are far behind me; besides Kaya is in high school." Chakotay ran his hand over her cheek " You aren't that old love; you know they have treatments that help women have children later in life." She got up and walked towards the window. " I was barely there for Kaya when she was little and I regret it even to this day I wish I was a better mother to her. She is such a wonderful young woman and she deserved a much better mother than me." Chakotay walked over to her and took her face in his hands. "Kathryn I don't want you to say something like that ever again. You're a wonderful mother. Kaya wouldn't be the wonderful young lady she is today if she didn't have you. She loves you so much Kathryn I can feel it. She has told me over and over how she couldn't imagine her life without you." Her eyes were brimmed with tears threatening to fall; she wiped her eyes and chuckled. " I can't believe we are having this conversation right now." She continued to gaze out the window and saw young cadets hurrying to their next class. The San Francisco sun made the courtyard look even more radiant. During her time on Voyager she would often think about these places and if she would ever see them again; she often wondered if she would ever be able to be with the love of her life and now here she is. Chakotay wrapped his arms around her waist from behind; bringing her back to reality. " Kath you've been thinking about slowing down and directing your focus more on yourself and your family, let's give Kaya the sibling she has always wanted." She peered into his dark brown orbs glistening with what looked to be anticipation with a glint of hope. She couldn't deny those gorgeous eyes. " I will think about it." He beamed and kissed her passionately when they broke apart Chakotay lifted her and spun her around " I love you, Kathryn Janeway."
