Author's Note: Well, here's chapter 2. Please review and enjoy! :)


Chakotay's P.O.V

Kathryn... My dear sweet Kathryn. I sat there. In the black, leather command chair on the bridge. Staring at the view screen. Not paying any attention to what was going on around me, not noticing the bright, white stars on the view screen. Ignoring the whispers of the gossiping crew on the bridge. All I could think about was Kathryn. The way her beautiful auburn hair glows in the light. Her gentle but confident smile, How her soft, petite hands fit in mine perfectly. Kathryn...

My shift was going to end in 10 minutes. Kathryn decided to leave the bridge half an hour ago. It's not like her. I'm very worried about her. She has been acting strange lately. I have sometimes caught her staring intently at me, only for her to awkwardly turn away from my gaze when I face her. She has also been avoiding me a bit. For example; when on the bridge, she hurries to her ready room without saying a word. In the turbo lift, if I'm there she would just say 'Hello commander' and it's silent for the rest of the ride.

At the end of my shift I am going to look for her. I need to talk to her about this. To make sure she's alright. Kathryn...

Tom's P.O.V

I turned around in my pilot's chair to face Harry, who was busy focussing on his task. "Hey Harry" I whispered. "What's up with Chakotay?"

"I'm not sure Tom. Maybe he's just tired." Harry replied.

"Do you think he's thinking about the captain?" I asked him.

"I don't know Tom. Maybe he's just worried about her" Harry said, as he worked on his station.

"You two should not be discussing the command team on duty" a familiar, low voice said, interrupting their conversation.

"Sorry Tuvok" Harry and I said together. I quickly turned back around in my chair and focussed on the task at hand.

3rd Person P.O.V

Meanwhile... In the mess hall... Kathryn Janeway had fallen asleep. There was an occasional twitch that occurred through her body as she dreamt away. Her facial expression was fear.
