Chapter 2 - The Beginning

"Do you really want to know?" Kathryn asked him. She was unsure if she wanted to tell him, or anyone for that matter.

He looked over at her with such concern and something else that had been far to present for Kathryn's comfort, "Yes, of course! If there's something wrong I want to know Kathryn." He always had to add the 'Kathryn' didn't he, she thought.

Kathryn gave a nervous half 'smile' and got up, almost running to the replicator. Those eyes. She couldn't look at them any longer. "Coffee. Black." she barked at the piece of machinery in front of her. It whirred and a steaming cup of coffee appeared. Cupping the coffee in her hands, she went over to stand in front of the window, and watched, silently, as the stars streaked by at warp. She paused to inhale and take a sip of the intoxicating black liquid before she started to speak.

Turning towards Chakotay she asked: "Chakotay, you've got to promise to keep this to your self, can you do that?" He nodded. Looks just like a trained puppy, thought Kathryn, stiffling a smile. "I thought I could deal with this by myself, I thought it might go away with time. But it hasn't. And I can't take it anymore. It's not good for me, or Voyager and her crew. Chakotay, I'm depressed. And not 'bummed' or simply having a bad day. This is like when my Dad died. Except I can't just curl up in bed. But that is exactly what I'd like to do."

a/n: I've been away and busy with the end of school. I hope to write more soon. And keep those reviews coming (even though FF.net only shows half of them... butt-munch..)
