After the End

by MissSarahG1

This story is the second in my Natural Adaptations saga and like the last story it will feature major appearances from all the principle cast of Star Trek: Voyager while also focusing on the growing relationship of Seven of Nine and Chakotay as well as how each crew member adapts to being home. BTW it will be longer than the last story.

38. Chapter 38

Chapter 38

(At a Starfleet hangar Tuvok and T'Pel are in a crowd of people who are waiting to greet their loved ones who have arrived on a shuttle from Vulcan. The first out are a group of adults and then out comes Sek, his wife - with daughter T'Meni, Varith, Elieth and Asil who all walk up to Tuvok and T'Pel).

Varith: Father it is good o see you again

Tuvok: As it is you Varith

Asil: I would very much like to hear about your experiences in the Delta Quadrant

Tuvok: As I would like to hear about your time on Vulcan.

Sek: Father there are two people I would like you to meet, my wife T'Enya and our daughter T'Meni.

(Tuvok does the traditional Vulcan welcome)

T'Enya: Would you like to hold your granddaughter?

Tuvok: If that is ok.

T'Enya: Of course

(She hands him the baby)

Tuvok: Nashaut T'Meni

T'Pel: Come let us go home

(They leave. At Harry's parent's house, dinner is being served. Harry and Libby and Mary and John are sitting round a table)

John: I would like to make a toast

(Mary, Harry and Libby raise a glass)

John: To family

Mary, Harry and Libby: Family

Mary: So Harry how has your first day back on Earth been?

Harry: Good thanks mom, me and Libby went for a walk on the beach near Golden Gate Bridge and me and my friend on Voyager started planning a party for the crew tomorrow night.

Libby: Do you know what you're going to do now that you're back?

Harry: Not really, I think I'm just gonna take a few days to think about my options.

John: That's a wise decision son

Harry: Any way lets tuck in, I'm starving

(At Chakotay's house Seven comes down the stairs from the Bathroom and goes to Chakotay who is sitting on a bench in the garden)

Seven: I must go out; however I will be back for dinner.

Chakotay: Where are you going?

Seven: To see Lt Torres, I must ask her opinion on something

Chakotay: Can't you do it over a comm link.

Seven: It is a personal matter

Chakotay: Ok, I'll see you in a bit then

Seven: Goodbye

(Seven leaves, 10 minutes later she is knocking on the door of the Paris house, B'Elanna answers)

B'Elanna: Seven, what are you doing here?

Seven: I hope this isn't an inconvenient time.

B'Elanna: No, its fine, Sam and Naomi are here too, they dropped by for a quick chat.

Seven: Good, I could do with some assistance from yourself and Ensign Wildman.

B'Elanna: Why do you want our help?

Seven: It is a personal matter

B'Elanna: You'd better come in then

(Seven walks in the house and B'Elanna shuts the door behind her)
