Why we ended up together

Pt9-Married?

Kathryn's jaw dropped. She turned around and stared at Chakotay.

Chakotay held his breath. He wasn't sure how Kathryn, was going to take the news, that they had been married.

Kathryn took a deep breath. "So let me get this straight, you and I got married, but it wasn't really me it was her?"

8472 turned to face Kathryn. "That's correct. I thought that if I didn't accept my cover would be blown." "However let me assure you Kathryn that as soon as the undercover personnel would have been recovered we would have wiped Chakotay's mind clear of any memories."

Chakotay looked up at 8472. "Well that's damn reassuring. You know the last time that we met your species they thought we were waging war on them."

"I know. But let me assure you Chakotay that my sister, aka your romantic interest at the time, found you to be very compelling. That's one of the reasons that we choose you as a participant.

Chakotay grabbed one of the end tables and threw it across the room. "This is ridiculous, how dare you barge in on my personal feelings and toy with them. He swallowed hard.

Chakotay pointed at Kathryn. "You're almost as bad as she is."

Kathryn spun around again and glared at Chakotay. "Excuse me, I think you forgot I am not married to you, she is!"

"Kathryn don't be a witch. You know how I felt about you for years on voyager and you turned me down for years. So don't be so high and mighty and think for one second that I would ever consider marrying you again!"

"Thank goodness for that Chakotay, I mean you're not as sexy as you think that you are. I swear you think that every woman is out to get you, whether it's here or in the delta quadrant."

Something inside Chakotay snapped. He grabbed Kathryn and pinned her against the wall. "Do you have any idea Kathryn how many times I have wanted to just have you?"

Kathryn swallowed but refused to look up at him.

8472 cleared her throat. "Well that was very interesting Chakotay, but I think its time that we let Kathryn go now."

Chakotay released his grip from her. And then Kathryn punched him in the stomach. Chakotay hit the floor with a thump just as 8472 came over to console him.

Kathryn opened the door and walked out of the apartment. She was just crossing the street, when she heard a voice call out to her. She turned to see Chakotay waving at her.

She crossed the street quickly, entering the park on the other side. Chakotay followed her. He kept calling her name but she ran faster. Finally he caught up to her. Tears were streaming down her flushed face.

"Kathryn what's the matter, why didn't you stop when I called out to you."

"I don't want to talk to you Chakotay, go back to your wife."

"My wife, I don't have a wife. Kathryn what are you talking about?" TBC
