Yesterdays Tears
J/C PG13 PART 2
Takes place after counterpoint and Latent Image.
It had been weeks since the incident between Chakotay and Kathryn. Both of them had found convenient ways of ignoring one another. Kathryn spent her bridge time, in her ready room, while Chakotay changed his duty schedule.
Kathryn sat in her ready room, on the couch lying back watching the stars. Her thoughts drifted back to Indiana, her childhood and her father. She shook her head and sat up from the couch. Walking over to the replicator she ordered a cup of coffee and returned to her computer screen.

"Come." "Mr. Neelix, what can I do for you?"
"Captain, Commander Chakotay asked me to drop off these PADDS for you."
Kathryn took them and stared at the computer for a second. "Was their anything else Neelix?"
Neelix nodded no, and left the ready room.
Kathryn picked up one of the PADDS and stared at it. She thought for a moment and then walked out of her ready room and onto the bridge. She nodded at Tuvok and entered the turbo-lift.
"Computer locate Commander Chakotay."
Commander Chakotay is in his quarters.
Kathryn strolled out of the lift and headed to the commanders quarters. With the PADD still in her hand, she used her security code and entered Chakotay quarters. The door opened. She walked inside and observed her surroundings.
"Commander Chakotay, I need to speak with you, right now."
Chakotay appeared from the bedroom, shocked by her, standing in his quarters.
"Captain, it is customary to ring before you enter someone's quarters or did you miss that class at the academy?"
His tone set Kathryn off. In a split second she ripped into him, with all of her strength.
"That will be all of that Commander, You and I have a problem."
Chakotay walked over to the couch and simply watched her.
"Well, tell me what the problem is Captain."
"My problem is your attitude and your disrespect for me as your commanding officer."
"Excuse me?" "I thought you said that you had a problem with me Captain, the only attitude around here is your attitude."
Kathryn completely lost it. She flung the PADD at Chakotay, nearly hitting him in the chest. "How dare you Commander I am not the one who has Neelix, the voyager gossip, come to my ready room, to give me your reports commander."
Chakotay smiled at her. "Afraid of what the crew might say Kathryn?" Kathryn screamed and turned to leave.
