Author's Note: I just wanted to let everyone know that I do listen to what reviewers say, and I really do appreciate the comments. It's been difficult trying to think of what to put in this next chapter. So, this is an attempt to go away from what I would have put and think more of my readers and what they want. I'm rambling, I hope you like it. And a special thanks to JJ who's my beta.

Kathryn woke up minutes later to find the doctor running his tricorder over her.

"Hmm…..aww, well that explains it." The doctor snapped his tricorder shut and turned around to pick up a hypospray. "Welcome back Captain. I don't know why I'm surprised to have you brought in like this, but it's to be expected. Here, this should make you feel better." He injects a hypospray into her neck.

"Doctor, what's going on?" Kathryn said trying to sit up.

"Not so fast. You need to relax." He said as he eased her back down onto the biobed. "I've just given you an anti-bacterial drug which I think will help kill the virus you seem to have acquired on this lovely journey."

"What, virus, what are you talking about? And where's Chakotay?" Janeway said as she rubbed her forehead.

"I'm sure the commander will be here soon, the news of you fainting on the holodeck has surely spread throughout the entire ship by now. Which of course could have been prevented if you'd just come in when you were first experiencing symptoms. But of course that would be a lot to ask. Taking care of ones health doesn't seem to be a priority on this ship."

"Not now. What of this virus that you say I've been infected with? Is it contagious? Am I the only one?" Janeway started to sit up again much to the doctor's dismay.

"Captain, I really must insist that you rest." Just then Chakotay came running into sickbay. "Commander, maybe you can convince the captain that she needs to rest. Obviously the word of an educated physician isn't enough."

"Doctor what happened?" Chakotay said ignoring the doctor's previous comments.

"I'm not at liberty to discuss my patients' medical problems without her consent." The doctor stated matter-of-factly.

"Doctor, I've already asked you what the problem was and all I got was what I haven't been doing that displeases you. Now if you could please tell me what the hell is going on."

"It's quite simple. You were infected with a virus that would normally not have caused such severe reactions, but was agitated because of the pregnancy. If you had come in when you were first feeling ill we could have avoided this entire episode." The doctor looked from Janeway to the commander. "Now, my recommendation is, not that you'll listen, is that you get some rest. Your body has to adjust to this baby and you're not making it easier on you or the baby by not taking care of yourself."

"What do you mean?" Janeway looked stunned. She hadn't even entertained the thought that she could be pregnant. What was the meaning of all this?

"It's really quite simple captain. You eat more, you work less, you drink less cofee, and more exercise wouldn't harm you either. Let's see….reducing the stress levels, regularly coming to doctors appointments so that I can monitor the babies progress as well as your own health. All of these things should make for a pretty smooth pregnancy, well as smooth as it can be. Let's just say it should minimize future problems." He handed the captain a pad. "Here is a list of everything I've just said to you. Feel free to actually use it." Chakotay who had been silent throughout the entire exchange finally spoke up.

"Kathryn, I don't understand. Why didn't you say anything?" Chakotay implored of her. Kathryn quietly chuckled before responding.

"Because I didn't know." She gave him her best smile under the circumstances but she was tired and the events of the past hour were beginning to weigh in on her. She went from having an upset stomach, to having a virus, to being pregnant.

"Doctor how far along am I?" The doctor looked at them puzzled.

"You mean to tell me that you didn't know you were pregnant." The doctor looked amazed.

"Scans show your fetus to be in its third month of development. Captain, I must tell you, taking care of yourself now more than ever is of the utmost importance."

"Thank you doctor," Chakotay interrupted, "Now that we know we'll be more careful. I'll see to it myself." He said taking Kathryn's hand. She had her eyes closed with one hand absently rubbing her stomach.

"He's right doctor. I thought it was just an upset stomach. Now that I know that I'm pregnant, I'll do my best. And I'll start by getting some rest now."

"That's an excellent plan captain. I only wished I had come up with that idea myself." He missed the glares that were thrown his way when he began punching keys on his console.

"Doctor, if it's alright with you I'd like to take her home now. I'll make sure she gets to bed."

"Alright, I don't see any reason why she should have to spend the night here. The scans show the baby to be doing well now that I've administered the anti-viral medication.

"Thanks. I'll have her back here tomorrow morning." With that said he helped Kathryn off of the biobed and they made their way towards the exit.
