Chapter 52

(A little while later Tuvok and his family walk up to Captain Janeway who smiles when she sees them)

Kathryn Janeway: Sek, Varith, Elieth, Asil, you've all grown so much since I saw you last, I hope you are all well.

Elieth: We are well, thank you for asking

Kathryn Janeway: I take it Sek, that this is your wife and daughter.

Sek: They are indeed, Captain Janeway, meet my wife T'Enya and our daughter T'Meni, T'Enya, T'Meni, this is Captain Kathryn Janeway of the USS Voyager, as well as a friend of the family.

T'Enya: It is nice to meet you Captain

Kathryn Janeway: You too, now if you excuse me I must go and mingle, it was nice to see you all, bye.

(Captain Janeway walks off. A few hours later Tom is once again standing in front of everyone)

Tom: Thank you everyone for coming tonight, I hope you've all enjoyed yourself and that I'll see you all again soon, goodnight.

(Everyone leaves. Fifteen minutes later Chakotay, Seven and Icheb walk into their house)

Chakotay: Well I don't know about you too, but I certainly had a good time.

Seven: As did I, it was a good evening

Icheb: I hope you don't mind, but I must go and regenerate, I feel that my energy reserves are low.

Chakotay: No, its fine, go on Icheb, Goodnight.

Seven: Yes, Goodnight.

(Icheb goes up the stairs)

Seven: I must rest also, excuse me

Chakotay: Wait Seven!

(He grabs her by the wrist to stop her from leaving)

Seven: Is there something I can do for you Chakotay.

Chakotay: You just called me Chakotay and not Commander.

Seven: Well, it is your name, is it not.

Chakotay: (smiles) Have I told you that I love you.

Seven: Not in my memory, no.

Chakotay: Well I should've, because I do, very much.

Seven: Thank you, I love you also

Chakotay: Good.

(They both smile, there is a pause and he kisses her)

Seven: What was that for?

Chakotay: It was a kiss, and I did it because that's what people in love do.

Seven: Then I would very much like to repeat the procedure

Chakotay: (smiles) Your wish is my command

(He kisses her again)

Seven: I do not wish to go further, I want to , as humans say, take it slow.

Chakotay: Ok, I wouldn't want to rush you into anything.

Seven: Thank you, Goodnight Chakotay

Chakotay: Goodnight Seven

(Seven goes to the garage and Chakotay upstairs)
