I'll Never Forget
'Do you seriously think they'll take you back Chakotay?! You're better off staying on this planet we found!'
The words echoed in his mind. She was right. Starfleet would never let him get any peace once they returned to the Alpha quadrant.
His head was aching, too much was happening at once, not enough time to process al this information. How did this all start again? Ah-yes. a dog named Molly, and an unfaithful guy named mark.
They were in her Ready Room after the Alpha shift had ended. They, no he, was trying to help the Captain relax a little bit. Of course, she spat at all his help he gave her to let her get some R&R.
"Why is your mind set to letting me 'relax' Chakotay?"
"Well Kathryn, Spirits know that you need a lot more rest then you are getting at the time being."
"OK then, Great Master, how do I relax hmm?"
"Molly?"
"What?"
"You're dog Molly, how do you think she's doing?"
"Mark can take good care of her." she said taking a sip of her coffee.
"Hoe do you suppose Mark's doing?" Chakotay asked just trying to keep the conversation going on a little bit longer.
"I think he'll be glad to see me pick Molly up, she's a real handful." She said with a grin on her face.
"A dog always is. You think Mark will greet you with open arms?" He asked, knowing a nano-second later he had crossed a line.
"What are you implying?" Kathryn's face was red with anger.
"What I meant was, what will you do now that he's married someone else?"
"I can take care of myself thank you for the credit!"
"Kathryn...You know what I mean."
"No Chakotay, I'm sorry I don't."
"Just that, well with Mark gone, you'll have nothing left except for Starfleet and it's hard enough on you now as it is. Plus, getting a brand new starship lost 6 years and 75,000 light-years from home won't help your record any." Chakotay said with a faint smile trying to lighten the mood.
"And they'll except the ex-leader of the Maquis?!" she said half yelling." In what timeline?!" She was not speaking of only pure anger, no truth.
"That was harsh Kathryn." Chakotay said lowering his head.
"Do you seriously think they'll take you back Chakotay?! You're better off staying on this planet we found!" She said pointing out her view port.
And that was it. No last word. No last glance to show or see any emotion what so ever. He just walked out of there and straight to his quarters. he needed time to think.
He sat in his quarters alone, in dim lighting. He was just there to think. Not about the truth, if any, in what Kathryn had said. There was just one conclusion that he had come to that night.

He walked into the bridge that morning with no expression what so ever on his face. With a PADD in his hand, he looked around the bridge. Tom had just arrived at the helm, Harry was on the night shift so he was still eating breakfast, and Tuvok was reading the scans. Then he saw Kathryn, already sitting in her chair reading, their console. Their console. Now her console.
Kathryn turned around to see Chakotay standing above her with a expressionless face. She knew that she had hurt him badly. She knew what she said was all lies. Mostly anyways. Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Chakotay's voices.
"Captain, can I talk with you in your ready room?"
"Of course." She said in a low voice as she stood up and headed for the Ready Room.
"Chakotay, listen, I didn't mean..." Her sentence was stopped by a PADD handed out to her. She circled her desk and read it briefly.
"What's this?"
"It's my letter of resignation."
