After All
Since that morning things were different between the commander and the captain. The doctor was the first to notice at her appointment that morning.
Janeway- Hello Doctor!
Doctor- We're in a good mood this morning.
Chakotay- Yes, I'm going to check on the bridge and engineering while you're here call me when you're done.
Janeway- Okay. (He leaves)
Doctor- So, how have you been feeling?
Janeway- Better and better.
Doctor- Captain, how did you get these bite marks on your neck.
Janeway- Is that relevant?
Doctor- Are you and the commander.
Janeway- Doctor! Get back to the exam!
Doctor- I'm sorry Captain. If I may say so, it may not be a good idea to engage in intimate relations while you're still recovering.
Janeway- (Agitated) Doctor.
Doctor- Okay. I understand. Well as far as I can tell you're fine. Oh, one more thing.
Janeway- Yes?
Doctor- If you would like an injection when you recover.
Janeway- Injection? For what?
Doctor- Birth Control.
Janeway- Computer deactivate Emergency Medical Hologram! Janeway to Chakotay.
Chakotay- Chakotay here.
Janeway- The doctor has finished.
Chakotay- I'll be right there.
Janeway- Okay I'll meet you in the turbo lift. Janeway out.
Kathryn and Chakotay met in the turbo lift and went back to her quarters she was tired already but she still had time to yell at Chakotay.
Janeway- Why did you bite me?
Chakotay- I don't know.
Janeway- Well the doctor does!
Chakotay- How did he see it?
Janeway- He was examining me! Tom will know in a few hours and then the entire ship will know.
Chakotay- Kathryn, give the doctor a little more credit than that! He respects doctor- patient confidentiality. At least you weren't disrespectful to him. I mean it isn't like you deactivated him. (Kathryn looks down) You didn't.
Janeway- I did.
Chakotay- Why would you do something like that?
Janeway- He told me that when I was feeling better he could give me a birth control injection!
Chakotay- That might be something you want to look in to.
Janeway- What! Excuse me! Did you just say that I should?
Chakotay- At some point in the near future.
Janeway- In the near future?
Chakotay- Yes. Why not?
Janeway- Well, I wasn't planning on having children.
Chakotay- Exactly why you should go ahead and get the injection.
Janeway- I can't believe I deactivated the doctor.
Chakotay- (laughs) He can be annoying, I probably would have done the same thing. I'm sorry.
Janeway- That's alright, I know the crew won't notice. At least I hope they won't.
Later that evening Tuvok came over for his usual Friday night dinner. After eating they all sat on the couch and caught up on ship issues.
Tuvok- I am sorry to see you have been injured Captain.
Janeway- Injured?
Tuvok- Yes, the mark on your neck.
Janeway- (covering the mark with her hand uneasily) Yes, I cut myself.
Tuvok- Did you see the Doctor?
Janeway- Yes, he said it wasn't serious.
Tuvok- I am glad. The crew is still speculating that you and the commander are involved. This is, of course what an immature child does. However, I believe their suspicions are relevant.
Janeway- Tuvok?
Tuvok- I have been acutely aware of a romantic attraction between you. I did not mention this before because it wouldn't have been proper.
Janeway- And what exactly makes this proper?
Tuvok- I believe the attraction has become an obvious infatuation. I believe this is the precedent for the rumor.
Janeway- I will be honest with you.
Chakotay- Kathryn?
Janeway- Chakotay and I have fallen in love during the last few months.
Chakotay- Kathryn!
Janeway- It's Ok Chakotay. This won't go any further than this room I'm sure.
Tuvok- You are correct. I do not believe in "backstabbing". (Janeway and Chakotay laugh) Something I learned Mr. Paris.
Chakotay- You certainly learned from the best.
Janeway- I agree.
Tuvok- I have the early shift this morning, I must not neglect my responsibilities. I am pleased you have finally released your affections for one another.
Janeway- Thank you Tuvok. We will talk soon I should be able to return to my duties within the next week or so.
Tuvok- I am glad. Commander. (Tuvok nods and leaves)
Chakotay- I love you Kathryn.
Janeway- Yes, I love you too.
Should I write another chapter???
