Once the party is over they review the systems to find they are fine and that they have more data. Along with their systems copied and down loaded. They come to the conclusion that mist was some sort of being trying to communicate and meant no harm to them.
After that event a few more things happened. They found a planet that has prehistoric bird like people that live there and is covered in a mist that makes it hard for the scanners to find them. This actually helped Tom and Neelix become friends, finally.
Then they met more Ocampa. These had left long ago and seem to live longer than nine years; some even look twenty when twenty. They are cared for by the Caretakers mate. Whom, for some odd reason, chose to look like a young girl. After almost killing the crew, Kes and Bria for her down with their powers. After being freed from her forcfield cage she leaves with the Ocampas.
Finally Torres stops a self-aware missile she had reprogramed back in the Alpha Quadrant. She stops it from hitting a planet and in doing this gained allies whom plan to stop the rumors Kazon has made of them being planet killers.
Along with that Chakotay helped them find allies as well. Aliens his ancestors called the Sky People. Then they run into the Kazon again. Sadly Seska is able to kidnap Chakotay and steel his DNA to impregnate herself. Even called to say so.
Ten months have passed since then. Kaya teething and not happy about it.
"Here we go sweet heart." Bria hands her a cold teething ring.
Kaya naws it. Her little ears drooped as her mom holds her while having lunch with Samantha.
"Sorry, Cody really needed a break." Bria pets her daughter's back as she looks over at her friend.
"Oh it's alright." Samantha shakes her head slightly. "I can't wait for this little one to be here and then they can play together." She rubs her ready to pop belly.
"Get ready for sleepless nights. And if you need a hand let us know." Bria assures her.
"I appreciate that." Samantha nods.
"I should be getting back to work and get this one down for a nap." Bria sees the time. "Want me to help you back?" she glances at her friend as she stands.
"I've taken the day off and want to finish my tea." Samantha shakes her head with a soft smile.
Bria nods again heading off. Kaya still chewing on her ring with small whimpers.
By the time they get to the medbay she was calmed down and sleepy. Luckily she went down for her nap in the doctor's office sound asleep.
"She felt a bit warm. Can you check on her?" Bria whispers over to the doctor.
"Simple fever from teething. She'll be okay, but I'll keep an eye on it to see if it goes up." Doctor looks over the baby.
"Thank you." Bria smiles over at him.
"How's she been sleeping? Any better?" Kes takes the ring placing it in a cooler.
"Still needs daddy around two or three." Bria shakes her head. "I think she just likes the time with him."
"That's possible." Kes laughs quietly.
"Oh doctor! We need you!" Neelix comes in with an in labor Samantha.
Kaya wakes up at that. Bria sighs picking her up to get her back to sleep again. At the same time they were heading into a dangerous zone, Vidian territory. Voyager hit a temporal space and is stuck just in the middle of this space.
Samantha tries to push but something goes wrong. The baby's horns get stuck they teleport her out and into an incubator. They then start getting attacked by someone while trying to get free.
"I'm going to help with the injured. Kes keep Kaya here." Bria hands over her pup.
"Right." Kes nods taking the whimpering pup into her arms.
"We're leaking plasma! And got many injured!" Torres calls.
"I'm coming." Bria calls on the com.
"Bria no. Stay with Kaya!" Cody calls.
"Sorry Commander, but you go no say here." Bria falls into an old pattern without realizing it.
"Stubborn." Cody sighs heavily working on stabilizing the ship.
Bria treats a few burns. Then runs about helping where she can. Hearing Kes vanished she goes to where she was to remove Harry's body but feels a shift pulled on to a still put together Voyager halls. She's brought to the medbay by someone that looked familiar to her before passing out.
"She's the same as the second Kes. But in her case the DNA is off from Pack's." The doctor looks her over.
"Off? What do you mean off?" Kathryn looks at the short haired woman.
"Wolffe? Mon gra, what's going on?" A long red haired and green eyed Mac Tire comes in with a crying black haired pup in her arms.
"Erika." Wolffe kisses her lightly. "I had to be sure." He strokes her face with the back of his hand.
"Sure? Sure of what? Why aren't we free yet?" Erika looks at him worried bouncing their tan skinned son.
"Well we've had a bit of trouble and…" Wolffe looks over to the two women on the medical beds.
"Green necklace?" Erika stares at her double confused, her son playing with her violet one.
"Can you wake them?" Kathryn looks over at the doctor.
"Yes." The doctor nods.
"W-where am I?" Kes sits up.
"Voyager. Though not the one you know." Kathryn explains.
"Cap? When did you cut your hair?" Bria sits up seeing the odd looking captain.
"Bria?" Erika felt the air catch in her throat seeing the purple eyes.
"Erika?" Bria stares at the woman with the same scar standing in front of her with a young pup in her arms.
"Bria? Your sister? How is that possible?" Wolffe looks between them confused.
"The other Voyager, it must be a different reality. One where Bria lived instead of you." The doctor looks at the sisters.
"I'll try to get in contact with the other Voyager." Kathryn heads out.
"I can't believe it. I've always wanted to have one more day with you." Bria looks ready to cry.
"What's past is past." Erika says coldly.
"Haven't you wanted to see me? Do you still have our dolls?" Bria looks at her sadly.
"No. And you might have her face you're not my sister. You can't be." Erika starts to leave.
'I still have them.' Bria's ears droop.
'You do?' Erika stops turning hearing her thoughts.
Bria looks up at that. Both girls smiling a bit sadly at one another as they talk through their minds, neither looking forward to having to say goodbye again.
But then they feel a shock wave and hear the com call. Only one ship can get free and the Vidians are starting to board the put together ship. The sisters hid with the doctor and the baby as the Vidians start gathering organs. Wolffe and Harry take out the men looking for the others.
"There you are." Wolffe takes a hold of his wife and pup kissing her.
"Is the baby safe?" Harry looks over worried.
"Yes?" The sisters' nod confused.
"We've been ordered over to the other Voyager with Wildman's baby. Captain is going to destroy ours." Harry explains.
"But… but we can't just…" Erika starts.
"Erika." The doctor cuts her off. "You have a chance to have your sister back and if not that you have Dux to think about. Go. Go and live a life for all of us." He pets the sleeping pups head.
"Goodbye Doc." Erika hugs him.
"It's been an honor Doc." Wolffe shakes his hand.
"Get going." Doc chokes on his words motioning for them to go.
With that they go through the rift before the put together ship blows up. Cody rushing to the medbay the moment they're free.
"Wolffe?" Cody chokes on his words seeing him.
"Hey reg king." Wolffe smiles over at his thought long lost brother.
"So you picked by the book?" Erika teases as the doctor looks over Dux.
"So says the sis that fell for the wild sibling." Bria teases herself.
"Fair point." Erika laughs.
The sisters holding each other's hands. A part of them still thinking this could be a dream.
"He's healthy. Same for little Naomi." Doctor hands over the pup and looks over the Wildman hold her now alive child kissing her head, careful of the horns.
"Thanks Doc." Wolffe pats his shoulder.
"Doc?" Doctor ponders that for a name liking it.
Later on that night Cody found Wolffe in the galley with Dux. The two sat quietly for a bit.
"He can't sleep either huh?" Cody finally breaks the quiet.
"He's a bit fussy at night. He likes the warpcore light but with all the damage…" Wolffe sighs patting his son's back.
"Kaya is the same." Cody laughs quietly looking down at his daughter nuzzling into his chest.
"We'll have to exchange stories at some point." Wolffe smiles over at him.
"Yeah." Cody nods.
When both pups start to stir they stand up and decided to talk while walking about. Comparing and contrasting their realities. Some are the same in how they met their girls and some are different like Erika being a Jedi Knight and their war going a different way. Them running to get away from robotic brothers while Bria and Cody left assuring that wouldn't happen.
