Chakotay saw Kathryn on the table. He almost cried. Her body showed no
evidence of the trauma but somewhere in her mind all the evidence of the
pain and hatred was. "Maybe that's what was causing her shock." He
thought. He leaned against the door just like he always did like the old
times, just waiting for her to notice that he was there. She seemed to be
caught up in her own thoughts. She hugged her knees to her chest. Almost
like a child. He decided to make the first move.
"Miss me?" he said just loud enough for her to hear. She quickly turned around. He watched as her eyes filled with tears. As he made his way to the bio-bed she jumped up and met him half way. He held on to her tightly. He could almost here her thinking "Don't let go". She started crying uncontrollably. He was a bit surprised. Kathryn wasn't the crying kind of person. But after all that she had been through it was expected.
"Shhhhhh its okay shhhhh." He watched as she struggled to stand. He picked her up and carried her to a chair. He sat himself down and rocked her.
"It's going to be okay. I promise." He stroked her hair to help stop her crying. He felt every shutter and it hurt him inside. She was an infant needing to be held and comforted. Chakotay took his had and gently wiped away her tears. Kathryn removed his hand from her eyes and held it in hers. It was only when she had his hand that she finally closed her eyes attempted to fall asleep. Chakotay sat there for an hours watching her sleep. He started fiddling with her hand. He picked up the finger with the engagement ring and kissed it. Somehow he felt calmed by the act and he closed his eyes hoping to sleep as peaceful as Kathryn was.
Who's ring was it? Wait for the rest of the story to find out.
