Congrats, if your mind explodes reading this, it's your own damn fault now. *roguish wink*
Lots of thanks go to Cygirl1, who helped me polish this, and to G. L. Dartt for her lovely Just Between series that inspired a lot of the characterizations in this fic. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it!
This is set in my Valkyrie timeline, approximately five years after the end of that fic. For background on who these people are and why the timeline is so different, read that fic. If you do, please review it!
Note, there are a few Mary Sues / Larry Stus in this fic, but it was unavoidable. Also, I was inspired with the idea for the starsuit after watching the Iron Man movie, so please don't sue me there either.
Final note: I will be entertaining requests / suggestions for future storylines with this fic, so please review and/or PM me with your suggestions!
"Push!"
"I AM PUSHING, KAHLESS DAMN YOU!!"
Seven held her wife's hand in her own, quietly trying to encourage B'Elanna without attracting her ire. Her respect for the Doctor had never been higher, as she listend to the string of foul oaths that her beloved spewed at him. The labor had been strained for the past three hours, and B'Elanna had frequently requested a fetal transport to 'get this thing OUT of me!'. Seven nodded slightly at the Doctor's glance, extricating her fingers from B'Elanna's to get her a glass of water.
As she shifted in her padded seat, however, an unexpected flood of wetness down her thighs warned her. "D-Doctor."
"I'm a bit busy, Seven, what is it."
"I believe my water has just broke."
B'Elanna's cries quieted at the news, her wide staring eyes showing her concern, even in the midst of her ordeal. The Doctor quickly summoned nurses, laying the enhanced human back and helping her get comfortable next to her wife. B'Elanna took a few short, quick breaths and managed to gasp, "I-I hope your kid doesn't decide to stick around." Seven smiled at her and gripped her fingers tightly just as a massive contraction made her arch in the bed, crying out softly at the pain.
The two women encouraged each other through the next half hour of doubled labor. Seven actually screamed at B'Elanna to shut up at one point, and, wonder of wonders, she did. At some point, Janeway must have been summoned, and she and Annika were beside the two women, giving them moral support as the labors increased in intensity.
At last, Seven had had enough. She tightened her grip on Annika's and B'Elanna's hands and bore down with all her considerable strength. With a final effort, she felt the child pass out and into the world, just as B'Elanna gave an almighty cry of effort. For a split second there was a pause.
Then, twin wails of discomfort and protest rose and the Doc beamed at the two women. "Congratulations, my dears, you have a fine set of twins."
Seven and B'Elanna turned to each other, each beaming with joy and love. Janeway and Annika exchanged a loving glance over the two women's heads, each reassuring each that someday, they too would know the joys of motherhood.
"So, have you two decided on names yet?"
Seven blinked and B'Elanna's eyes widened in surprised horror. "W-We hadn't gotten that far yet........."
Halfway to the transporter room, and Janeway still hadn't stopped laughing.
Aaaand that's it for Choosers! I hope you've enjoyed this story as much as I enjoyed writing it! ^^; Now, I've got a special treat. I have no idea what's in store for the intrepid Voyager crew, so I'm willing to entertain any suggestions you might have for such! PM me or drop a review if you've got an idea for something, and don't be shy! ^^; If there's enough good ones, then I may come out of retirement and write another sequel!
