"Tom, do you think Bailey will be okay?" Naomi asked Tom. "Naomi, I seriously don't know. You're the medical student. You tell me." Tom looked at her, worried, yet he didn't let it show to B'Elanna, who was sitting next to him, holding his hand. "I couldn't determine anything without a tri-corder. On the planet, I didn't have anything. I still feel responsible for this accident. It was all my fault that the shuttle crashed. Despite Bailey telling me otherwise, I still think it was me, not the shuttle." Naomi put her head in her hands. "Naomi, don't say that. It was not your fault. Don't worry about it. You did everything you could. You helped Bailey, through the pain he had. Stop telling yourself that it was your fault, because it wasn't," B'Elanna told her. "Thank you, B'Elanna. If, for some reason, Bailey doesn't regain his sight, I'll take care of him," Naomi told Bailey's parents boldly. Hailey came up behind Naomi and put her hand on Naomi's shoulder. "Thanks for being so kind to my brother. I may not like him, but I don't think I could live without him." "It's no problem, Hailey. I'm just so worried," Naomi sighed. No one knew, at least she didn't think they knew about her relationship with the young cadet. Naomi loved him, with all her heart, but she hadn't told a single person about it. Of course, everyone noticed the closeness of the two, but they all thought it was just because of spending two days together on the surface. It had taken Voyager two days to find them after the crash due to the unusual electromagnetic field above the planet. "EMH to Paris," Tom's commbadge sounded. He tapped it. "Paris here." "You and your family can come down to sickbay now, you will have to wait outside for a few moments, but you can come down." "Thanks, Doc. Paris out. Come on, let's go." They all left the room and went to see what they would see.
