Using his acquired skills Tom Paris had secured accommodation for the four 24th century persons in a small hotel for the night. B'Elanna had struggled to get long range transporters up and running which meant they were stuck in 1996 until the morning. In any ordinary situation Kathryn Janeway would not have mined in fact she may have been intrigued to explore the area of Los Angeles but this was not ordinary this confinement on earth marked the first time she'd been away from her baby, Melonie, overnight. Yes, Melonie didn't see her parents will they were working and she had to be baby sat a lot but Kathryn, Chakotay and Melonie had never been away from each other throughout the night. Their little girl was NOT a peaceful sleeper, she was the opposite.

At the present moment Kathryn lay awake staring at the unfamiliar wall of her hotel room. She felt uneasy, as if she knew Melonie was in some sort of distress. Maybe she could call Voyager and see.

Chakotay was also staring intently at the ancient wallpaper, he didn't want to worry his wife, he felt as if his little girl was in distress, maybe he should call up to Voyager and double check.

As if someone switched a button the couple turned and stared at each other.

"Why are you still awake?" Kathryn whispered, knowing Tuvok and Tom were asleep in the other room.

"I could ask you the same thing" his wife raised her eyebrow and he instantly caved in "I'm worried about Melonie, I don't feel comfortable. Is that silly?" he questioned his uneasiness and was happy to see her shaking.

"To be honest, love. I was thinking the same. We should check up on her, just in case. I know I said vita calls only but…" she didn't finish as Chakotay had handed her, her combadge. "Janeway to Voyager"

"Kim here Captain"

"Harry, could you put me through to whoever has Melonie please" the use of his first name soften the young man and without a word he put her through to Sam Wildman.

"Wildman here Captain" the young ensign sounded frustrated.

"How is Melonie? Call it strange but we felt she was in some sort of distress"

"No it's fine Captain I get that feeling all the time with Naomi and as far as Melonie is concered I think she's teething or knows her mommy and daddy aren't here. She is screaming up a storm"

"I can't apologise enough Samantha. I hope this isn't too much trouble for you. Is she nearby maybe she'll understand me."

"Of course Captain" there was muffled noises and then the screaming became very clear, they were absolutely deafening.

"Melonie, sweetheart it's mommy." Another scream was the only response

"Oh Melon calm down please for Daddy" the screaming stopped and whimpers replaced it. "That's my girl" however the triumph was short lived as she began crying and screaming again. The parents tried to coo her back to a calmed and sleepy state for a further 30 minutes.

"Hey, that's my girl. Shhh time for sleep time" Kathryn cooed, as Melonie gurgled tiredly. A sigh was also heard and the two assumed it was Sam's sigh of relief.

"Thank you captain, commander. Enjoy your night Wildman out" the two smiled and flopped back on the bed, they had since moved to the bottom, in relief.

"This is your fault" Chakotay announced tiredly, Janeway snapped her head round offend "Well I am not the stubborn one am" he scooped her up in his arm and pulled the duvet on top of them. Kathryn smiled and giggled a little before speaking

"That's just what you need, another stubborn Janeway" the two chuckled before relaxing and falling into a deep sleep, happy knowing their little girl was safe and sound.

Author's note: This came to me after I watched 'Future's end' which was at like 2 in the morning so it's strange. I don't have a beta by the way so all mistakes are my own.
