Author's Note: This happens after Equinox, but assumes that the rest of the series didn't happen as it did.
The next morning Kathryn and Chakotay arrived on the bridge as Captain and Commander. Nothing more, nothing less.
Janeway turned to Paris, "What's our heading Ensign?"
"On course for home, warp 7."
"Very good, keep her steady. Estimated time to arrival at Earth?"
He looked at her, "Three hours. You did it Captain. You got us back to Earth."
She turned to the rest of the crew. "The Commander and I will be in my ready room if anyone has any problems. We need to get ready for out arrival home."
Tom tried to hide the grin and the snicker behind his hand. "Something funny Mr. Paris?"
"No ma'am."
Chakotay followed Kathryn into the ready room. He raised an eyebrow. "He knows."
Kathryn laughed, "He's thought he's known since our first days in the Delta Quadrant."
He laughed, "He re-opened the betting pools."
"I wonder what he thinks he knows?"
Chakotay shrugged his shoulders. "Who knows with Paris."
Kathryn nodded fully aware of what Mr. Paris is like.
[BRIDGE]
Paris sent Harry a quick message: *I wonder what they're doing in there?*
Tom felt Harry roll his eyes. *It is really none of our business.*
Tom smirked and went back to checking the headings.
[READY ROOM]
Kathryn looked at Chakotay. "I thought of something after last night. I'm not on boosters, there was really no need out there. What about you?"
Chakotay shrugged his shoulders, "Not for a very long time, as you said: Out there, there was no need."
Kathryn sighed, "You better not have knocked me up."
Chakotay looked somber. "Why don't you go to sickbay now, and make sure that nothing comes of last night… unless you wanted something to come of last night?"
Kathryn's jaw dropped open. "Seriously?"
Chakotay laughed, "Okay probably not a good idea."
[BRIDGE]
Tom turned to look at Harry, "Almost there, you might finally get that promotion you've been pining for."
"Very funny Tom."
Tom stared at the image on the view screen, and here we are."
"Paris to Janeway."
"Janeway here."
"You did it Captain. We're home."
[READY ROOM]
Janeway went to give Chakoy a very chaste kiss, but Chakotay would have none of that.
He wound his arms around her body and his hand travelled up into her hair deepening the kiss.
Kathryn heard the hail from the bridge and pulled away. "We have to go Chakotay."
Chakotay dejectedly nodded. "I know. Time to face the music."
Kathryn got a troubled look in her eyes, "We'll make it."
He smiled at her, "I know."
The couple headed out to the bridge. "Open a hailing frequency."
"Kathryn stared at the view screen. "This is Captain Kathryn Janeway of the Star Ship Voyager; We're home."
