Slight AU, Post Endgame. Chakotay has been back on Earth for nearly a year, but now he's forced to face something far more terrifying than anything he encountered in the Delta Quadrant: Seven and Mezoti moving in with him. The couple navigate their relationship while simultaneously trying to raise a precocious nine year old who only wants to fit in and make friends.

C/7 Chakotay and Seven's relationship is still under wraps, but it's all put in jeopardy when they're sent on an away mission that potentially puts not only their secret relationship but their lives in danger. They will have to rely on their friends to overcome this and make it back to Voyager in one piece. Note: not THAT away mission, I promise.
