Patsy had been working under a console in Astrometrics, replacing a Bio-neural gel-pack and some of the wiring. As she stood, she went dizzy. She braced herself against the console, eyes closed and her chin to her chest as she breathed deeply.
"Ensign Thomson?" Seven had a look of concern on her face upon stepping into the room to finding Patsy leaning on the console.
"I'm fine, Seven, went a little giddy, that's all. Probably just stood up a bit too fast" Patsy insisted as Seven guided her to sit on a nearby chair before obtaining a tricorder and scanning her.
"Seven to The Doctor. I'm coming in with Ensign Thomson" she said, activating a com-channel.
"Is everything ok?" came The Doctor's reply.
"I think she's pregnant" Seven said, leading Patsy out Astrometrics.

Seven helped Patsy onto the BioBed as The Doctor collected a medical tricorder.
"I'm getting the strongest feeling of déjà vu" he said as he scanned Patsy.
"As am I" Seven replied, a slight smile on her lips. She then told Patsy the story of how B'Elanna's pregnancy had been discovered.
"Looks like Seven was right again. Congratulations Ensign, you are pregnant" The Doctor said.
"I shall inform B'Elanna that I took you to Sickbay, but I will not tell her what we discovered" Seven said. Patsy nodded her thanks, sinking back into the BioBed as Seven left the room. Further testing revealed she was around seven weeks along.
The Doctor had released her to quarters a couple of hours later. As she lay in bed, so many thoughts were going through her head regarding her, the baby, and Harry. From the moment The Doctor had informed her about the baby, she knew she could never get rid of it. She was anxious about how Harry would react. What about their commissions? She knew Harry wanted to be a Captain at some point and she had only been an Officer for a couple of years. How could they raise a child on a ship? They hadn't been together that long either, only a few months. She didn't know if Harry even wanted children.

Patsy and Harry were sat together in the Mess after dinner. Tom and B'Elanna had gone earlier, to get Miral ready for bed. Lexa had left soon after them as she had a Holodeck booking to keep.
"I need to tell you something, and you're probably going to freak out a little" Patsy said quietly. Harry nodded, indicating he was listening. She took a breath. "I'm pregnant." She waited a moment for the news to sink in. Harry sat there stunned for a minute or so. Saying he needed a moment, Harry left the room. With a sigh, Patsy walked out the door and made her way back to her quarters.
