A/N Thanks for all the great reviews on the last chapter, they make me feel so happy :D Just because of the fact that I'm a freak, I'm going to be putting up the names of my musical influence for each chapter. Maybe you could listen to them? They're tres cool ;)
Musical Influence:
Shiny Toy Guns: Ghost Town. Ed Sheeran: The A Team. Shiny Toy Guns: Starts With One
It had been two weeks since Seven and Chakotay's…encounter, when Seven went to see the Doctor. She had been feeling ill for a few hours, and wanted it checked out, to see if it was anything serious or not.
She walked through the double doors just as the Doctor was starting to sing his soprano. She had to clamp her lips together to stop herself form laughing out loud at him. His back was turned, so he ha no clue that she was leaning against the wall inside of the medical bay.
"Doctor." Seven called out, making him turn around in the middle of a high note.
"Seven!" he blushed lightly for a moment, then said "Computer, stop music." Instantly, the backing music stopped, and the Doctor smiled at her, "Now, what can I do for you today?"
"Well, I haven't been feeling all that good today, and I just wanted to know if I have a bug, or if something's wrong or…something."
"Okay then. Sit down, and I'll scan you." Seven sat on a biobed, as the Doctor got his medical tricorder from the equipment tray and walked back over to her. "So, what are your symptoms?" he began to scan her.
"Well, when I woke up this morning, I must have got up too fast, because my head felt like a torpedo had exploded in it. When I went to have some wheatabix with Amy for breakfast, it nearly made me throw up, and instead I had bacon." Seven pulled a face, "I normally hate eating bacon! And when I went to work in Astrometrics, I swear I nearly fainted!"
"Well…you're not ill." The Doctor said, his voice slightly resigned.
After a moment of silence, Seven asked, "Well? What's wrong with me?"
"You're…well, congratulations. You're pregnant."
"W-what?" Seven stammered. The night with Chakotay had been put right into the back of her mind, and the chances of her getting pregnant were very slim, considering it was only one day after she had finished her period. "That's not right. I know what it feels like to be pregnant; this is not it. Scan me again." Her heart pace was racing as she thought, is this really happening?
The Doctor finished scanning her again, and said "No. You are, definitely, pregnant."
Seven felt numb. She knew she wouldn't be able to speak properly, so just nodded, slid off of the biobed, and walked in the direction of the doors.
"Seven. If you don't mind my asking," The Doctor hesitated a moment, then asked, "Who is the father?"
"I think you know already, Doctor."
"Chakotay?"
Seven gave a curt nod, and left the medical bay.
=A=
"Mama? Are you alright?" Amy asked Seven, as they sat in the Mess Hall for dinner. Amy had got some of Neelix's Cardassian Lin Fa pie, and was picking at it, unsure is she dared to eat any or not.
"Hm? Oh, no, I'm fine babe." Seven replied as she cut up her bacon and eggs, "Why?"
Amy shrugged, "You just look…weird."
"Oh, thanks! I love to be told I look like a weirdo by my daughter." Seven rolled her eyes and laughed.
"And you're eating bacon!"
Seven shrugged, "So..?"
"You hate it! And you ate it twice today." Amy squinted her nose, and finally took a bit of the green pie. She instantly spat it back out, "Urgh! That's gross!"
Seven pressed her lips together to stop laughing, "It is Neelix's cooking. I tried to warn you." Amy got her knife and started scraping it on her tongue, trying to rid herself of the vile taste.
"Yeah, well. You don't like mushrooms - which I don't get – so I just don't trust your opinion on pies."
"Charming."
"Aren't I just?" Amy grinned, "I'm getting a proper pie." She got off of her chair, went to the replicator, and asked for a chicken and mushroom pie, as Seven fiddled with her thumbs.
She wasn't exactly sure how to break the news. I mean, how would you tell the father of your already seven and a half year old daughter, that you had a one night stand with, that he's going to be a daddy again? You just can't.
"Mum?"
"Huh?"
"I said, Chakotay's here." Amy stabbed her pie with her fork, and looked away from her father.
Seven's eyes became slightly bigger, and it felt as though someone had clenched their fist inside of her stomach. "Oh." She muttered. Damn! She thought. She quickly stuffed some egg in her mouth, making her incapable of speaking, unless she just muffled every word she said with egg.
"Hey, can I sit with you?" Chakotay asked when he got to the four-seater table where Amy and Seven were situated.
"Sure!" beamed Amy. She had gotten quite close to Chakotay over the past two weeks, noticing that she had quite a lot of interests that were the same as his. For example, phaser shooting in the holodeck, and star gazing.
Chakotay smiled back, and sat down beside her, his tray of chicken slices and lettuce slid on the part of the table in front of him. "So, how're you two today?" he asked, completely oblivious to the fact that Seven had probably had the most awkward and embarrassing day on Voyager. Ever.
Seven herself just shrugged, then put more food into her mouth, whereas Amy started into a long description of what she had done that day, "Well, I went to play with Naomi for a bit, then we went to have our lesson with the Doctor and he taught us about how a scab is formed. Really gross, but so cool as we got to see a simulation of it! Then I went into the holodeck, and I ran that simulation you made for me – you know, the one with the forest in the night? – then I went down to the room with the cool lava lamp thing. Then I came here and had some of that gross pie that Neelix made…it was gross."
"I can tell, thanks for the warning." Chakotay laughed lightly at her, "You've been…really busy." He asked rhetorically, but still got a vigorous nod from his daughter as she shoved a forkful of pie filling into her mouth. He turned his head to Seven, "And you?" and lifted his cup of coffee to his lips.
She locked her jaw, and said, very fast, "I'm pregnant."
Chakotay spat out his coffee, spraying it over the table, and started choking, "What?" he managed to rasp.
Seven closed her eyes, "Do I need to repeat it? Really?"
"Bu-wha-how?"
Seven gave him a stony glare, "Do you really need to be told of the biological happenings of when a child is conceived?" She glanced around the Mess hall, and noticed that some people were staring at them, whilst others that were not, were only looking away to be polite. "Especially in these surroundings?"
She then raised her voice, and addressed the people who were staring, "What? Is there something you find interesting?"
Choruses of "No's" filled the room, and all of the faces turned away, except one – B'Lanna's, which was full of concern and confusion.
Seven stood up, and walked out of the Mess Hall, leaving behind a bewildered Amy, and a shocked to silence Chakotay.
"What just…happened?" Amy asked, watching the doors which her mum had gone through, as if she might come back in any second.
"I…I'll explain it…later." Chakotay mumbled, then took Amy's hand in his, "You can stay in my quarter's tonight." He pulled her out of her seat, and walked briskly out of the Mess Hall.
"Hey! Slow down!" Amy was practically running to keep up with, "Slow down I said! Slow down! Dad!" she screamed the last word, shocking Chakotay into a halt. "What is up with my mum?"
Rubbing the bridge of his nose, Chakotay looked at his young daughter. He sighed, "It's…not my place to say…but I'll tell you if you really want."
She turned her eyes on him, in exactly the same expression that her mother was well known for using. "Tell. Me."
Groaning, he said quietly, "She's…she's pregnant."
A/N: For the record, I love bacon.I also totally re-wrote this. Before I just read it and went "Eurghhh!" at it, so…yeah. RE-WRITE! Hope it's all right, but hopefully next chapter will be better :) xx
