"Tom!" B'Elanna yelled. "Tom!"
He ran down the stairs of their house. "What is it? What's wrong?"
B'Elanna's eyes were wide. She pointed at the screen. "Look!"
"You are cordially invited."he read, "to the wedding of Kathryn Janeway and.Chakotay?!?!"
He stared at B'Elanna for a minute. She stared back. Finally, she broke the silence.
"Well. It's about time."

Admiral Paris performed the ceremony only a week later. "Does anyone here object to this union?" he asked the entire Voyager crew.
"If they do, I'll kill them!" Tom called. A chorus of agreements replied to his statement. Miral opened her sleepy eyes and fixed her father with what he called "a death glare equaling the captain's". She waved a fist at him before putting it back in her mouth.
The ceremony was quickly completed, and a round of applause started when Admiral Paris pronounced them man and wife.
At the reception afterwards, nearly everyone came up and remarked how they were glad they'd finally gotten married. After the hundredth or so former crewmember had said this, Kathryn leaned over to Chakotay and whispered, "Do you think they were hoping for this to happen?"
Tom overheard them. "You bet we were. We've known how you felt about each other for years. Everyone knew it."
Kathryn looked at Chakotay in disbelief. He shrugged. "I didn't tell anyone."
"It was obvious, the way you two acted around each other." Tom said.
"Really?" Chakotay leaned over and kissed Kathryn. A cheer went up from the group. "Well, I hope we've satisfied you!"
"Not quite." Tom gave a sly grin. "See, we've been in communication with each other, and it's our unanimous decision that we won't be happy until there's a little Captain Janeway or Commander Chakotay." Hoots went up from the crowd. Kathryn blushed. B'Elanna's eyes widened and she grabbed his arm. "Tom!"
All in all, it was an extremely memorable event.

It was less than a month later when Kathryn returned to the house in stunned surprise.
Chakotay looked up from where he was carving some figure. "Guess what, Kathryn? Tom and B'Elanna are moving into the house down the road."
"Really? That's terrific." She said, distracted. She sat on the couch.
"Kathryn? Is something wrong?" Chakotay got up and sat beside her. Normally, the news that their friends would be so close by would have thrilled her. Now, she wasn't paying any attention.
"Well.Chakotay.how do you feel about fatherhood?"

Excerpt from Tuvok's personal log
"We received word today that Kathryn Janeway is pregnant. Were I capable of surprise, I believe now would be an apt time to express it. I was first informed of this by the captain herself. I then received at least three dozen calls from various other members of Voyager's crew. They are obviously quite excited over the prospect."

It was two months later that Kathryn went back to work. She now had a desk job at Starfleet Headquarters. She would beam there every day and beam back in the evening, at least until the baby was born.
She had left for work that morning as usual. Chakotay had promised pasta for dinner that evening. When she arrived, her desk was piled higher than usual with work. She'd be there at least another hour. She remembered all of this later.
She contacted Chakotay and let him know she'd be late, than began on the work. She managed to keep it going at a fairly stable pace, glancing longingly at the replicator every few minutes. The Doctor had forbidden caffeine, and she had been forced to drink non-caffeinated coffee. She swore it tasted different.
The rest of the offices were pretty much shut down that evening when she finally finished. She stood up and stretched. She started to walk towards the door, but hadn't made it halfway across the room when she was thrown to the floor. The explosion followed a second later. That was all she noticed before the roof caved in on her.

Part four coming out.maybe next week.
