Chapter 12

The Doctor had roamed around the apartment when he'd gotten a frantic call from the Captain. He had immediately beamed over to the Captains mothers house to check on the situation. But when he arrived Chakotay and Gretchen were already there. The Doctor had flipped out his tricorder and examined Seven. What he found was that she was perfectly alright, she had allowed all of her new-found emotions to overwhelm her.

He informed the three of them what he had found. The Captain let out a breath of relief, Chakotay just stared hard at Seven. Gretchen went over and gripped the Captains shoulder.

After a while, the stress from worrying about Seven took its toll and the Captain was asleep, with Sevens hand in her own. The Doctor started walking from the living room and Gretchen and Chakotay followed him. Chakotay immediately started a line of question, "Was she really ok," "What had caused her to pass out."

Gretchen laid her hand on Chakotay shoulder as she had to her daughter earlier. Which stopped his bombardment of question, he looked up at Gretchen with pleading eyes. The Doctor knew he had missed out on a big part of the story.

Gretchen had made Chakotay sit down and eat some brownies. Now the Doctor knew where the Captain had gotten her command persona. Gretchen was a very cleaver women and he had really started to like her, although she didn't seem as stubborn as the Captain. She was more down to earth the kind of person you wanted to be friends with. But just like the Captain she had a sense of authority and hope. Gretchen knew how to put people at ease.

It was about that time they heard movements in the living room. The Doctor started walking towards it again and Gretchen and Chakotay followed him. When they got there the Doctor remembered Chakotay saying something unimportant. Then Seven got up and started walking away, the Captain jumped up to follow her. But Gretchen waved her finger at her and she sat back down. All eyes turned on the Doctor and he decided he was the chosen one, he had to go see what was wrong with Seven. He really didn't understand their logic on this but he did as was asked and followed Seven out.

He knew that Seven would be heading to Voyager and would walk to a transport station to do this. So the Doctor took off in a jog to catch up with her more quickly. He found Seven almost at the transport station, or what he assumed was the station. It looked like the ones in San Francisco. Judging by that and Seven walking straight towards it, that must indeed be the transport station.

"Seven! Wait up," The Doctor called out, Seven turned to look at him and continued walking.

So we're going to play it that way, huh. Seven entered the station and he soon followed her. Of course before transporting you had to receive approval which took a few moments. The Doctor went to stand next to her, "Seven whats going on?"

"Nothing I just wish to regenerate and I don't wish a big fuss to be made about me. I just passed out whats the big deal?" She asked

"The big deal is that it could happen again. Yet you are very ignorant of this fact and ran away." He replied

"It was nothing at all, I just found out something sort of surprising."

"Would you care to tell me what you found out?"

"No Doctor I would not, it is on a private issue. Which of course is no concern of yours!"

"Ma'am your transport is ready, is he going to?" The transporter officer said out of no where.

"No he isn't. I am ready," Seven walked over to the pad "Initiate transport." Seven shimmered out of the room

The Doctor decided to wait for her, he figured she'd be in a better mood after regenerating.

:/\:

"Mom, I don't even know what could have cause her to pass out like that. I told her that I was leaving to go visit Phoebe and she told me she was going to regenerate after a while. I figured she'd probably be working on something, every member of my crew is trying to get ready for next week. It is the start of our debriefing, which is very stressful. But I have no idea what would have caused her that much stress to where she would pass out. I can't believe you wouldn't let me go after her." Kathryn said loudly

"Katie dear it wouldn't have done any good for you to go after her. We all know that, she leans on you a lot as it is. Don't you want her to be independent and ask others for help besides you? I'm sure you do! I know you care about her, I care about you so I was only looking out for your well-being!" Gretchen responded

"But-"

"Kathryn your moms right. You can't always go running after Seven when she gets into trouble. Neither can I, since we have gotten back to Earth she depends on you more than ever!" Chakotay said

"Incoming call, repeat incoming call." The computer terminal called out

"Route the call to the study" Janeway barked, then she jumped up to go there

She quietly sat down behind the desk and pulled up the monitor, it showed the doctor.

"Captain, I followed Seven to the transporter station. She wasn't very forthcoming about what was wrong. I assume she'll talk to someone eventually, but I could wait for her to get down regenerating. Or I could let her cool off then try and talk to her."

"No Doctor I'll figure something out. I'm sure she just got overwhelmed with something she was doing."

"Very well, you know where to contact me. I guess I'll be going" The Doctor said quickly

"Hey thanks for trying I appreciate that." She forced a weak smile, he nodded at her. Then she cut the comm-link.

Kathryn looked up and saw Chakotay standing in the doorway and assumed he'd been standing in the doorway the whole time.

"Chakotay, was there anything else I could help you with?"

"Well no I guess not, will you call me when Seven comes back. Or actually have her call me, I would like to speak with her."

"Yes I will relay the message, don't get your hopes up though." Janeway said

"Are we okay?"

"Why wouldn't we be? I mean what is lest to say, I will talk to you later."

"Yeah Kathryn I guess we're fine, bye."

Gretchen who'd been standing nearby thought they were anything but fine. Also she couldn't believe what a mess her daughter had gotten herself mixed up in. Chakotay turned to walk towards the front door and Gretchen decided to use this opportunity to speak to him.

"Chakotay, how are you holding up? Must of been pretty worried there about Seven. I mean you rushed right over, were you not busy doing something else?"

"I am doing fine, yes I was worried about Seven. Just as I would've been for any other mem-. No I mean I was worried about Seven, she is very important to me." Bingo thought Gretchen. He stumbled over those words and she got him just where she wanted him.

"Any other member of your crew?" Gretchen felt a little guilty but was never stopped by this before.

"Yes thats what I was saying. But it wasn't what I meant, it has been a long day. Thanks I think I'll be leaving now, will you thank Kathryn for informing me." With that he opened and closed the door.

So now all she needed was more proof before she faced her daughter. Her daughter always wanted facts and she was busy collecting them. Even when her Katie knew something but didn't want to admit it, she did know when to concede.

:/\:
