Chapter 4
(It is 17:00 at Starfleet Headquarters and Voyager (being led by the Enterprise) lands at Starfleet's outside landing zone amid, fanfare, cheering and fireworks. The crew leaves the ship in formation, starting with Captain Janeway and ending with the bottom rank Ensign. They are greeted by Admiral Owen Paris and the others worming on the Pathfinder Project, including Lt Reginald Barclay)
Admiral Paris: Captain Janeway, it's such a pleasure to see you and your crew back safe and sound.
Janeway: I don't know about that, we've had our fair share of troubles; we're just ready to see our family and friends.
Barclay: Captain Janeway, it's nice to finally meet you in person.
Janeway: You too Lt, so Admiral, what's going to happen?
Admiral Paris: Tonight there will be celebrations and tomorrow the debriefing will begin.
Janeway: I think we'll all be thankful for that
(Moments later Tom, B'Elanna and Miral are approached by Admiral Paris)
Admiral Paris: Tom
Tom: Dad, there are two people I'd like you to meet, my wife B'Elanna and our daughter Miral
B'Elanna: It's a pleasure to meet you Admiral
Admiral Paris: Oh please it's Owen (To Miral) but to you I guess it'll be grandpa.
B'Elanna: Would you like to hold her?
Admiral Paris: If that's ok with you
B'Elanna: Of course, you are her grandfather
(She hands Miral to him)
Admiral Paris: She's beautiful, much like her mother if I may say so
B'Elanna: Thank you
(The three of them look at the baby and smile. Captain Picard and his crew walk toward Janeway)
Janeway: Jean-Luc, what a pleasure it is to see you again
Picard: The pleasure is all mine Kathryn, meet my first officer Commander William T Riker, Riker this is Captain Kathryn Janeway of the USS Voyager.
Riker: Greetings ma'am
Janeway: We've met
Riker: We have!
Janeway: Yes, one word – Q
(Q appears)
Q: Did someone call for me?
(Q's soon appears, for the purpose of this fanfiction he will be known as Q2)
Q2: Or was it me, then again, who knows?
Jean-Luc: What are you doing here Q?
Q: I've come to congratulate Kathy on getting home?
Jean-Luc: ...Wait a moment; couldn't you have simply used your powers to get her and her people here as soon as you knew that they were stuck in the Delta Quadrant?
Q: Ah, I thought you knew better than that, Voyager was meant to return on this day and in the way they did, I couldn't simply zap them here because I would've changed history.
Q2: And I thought you said he exhibited above average human intelligence
Q: He does – most of the time
Q2: So are you going to introduce me, I have better things to be doing with my time
Q: Fine, Jean-Luc, meet my son Q
Picard: Your son!
Janeway: His son, my godson
Q2: Now that's over and done with, I'm going to have some fun
(Q2 goes)
Q: Wait... I swear he gets more and more like me everyday
(Q goes)
Picard: Is it just me or do you find him irritable too?
Janeway: You have no idea
