Later, after Naomi, Hannah, and Bailey went back to their quarters, Neelix
came in to so the family. Bailey left to go work, leaving Naomi with the
Talaxian and the baby.
"Neelix, do you remember Kes?" Naomi asked after she had put Hannah in her crib.
"How could I forget the love of my life? Why do you ask? Kes went away so long ago," Neelix's eyes started to fill with tears of love.
"It was odd, Neelix. After I threw you guys out, Kes came to visit me. She said she was going to always watch over my family and me. Perhaps I was tired and I hallucinated. But it seemed so real, Neelix. What do you think?"
"Naomi, sometimes we just have to accept what has happened without explaining it. I believe you, I honestly think that Kes, bless her heart, came to see you in your happiest hour. That was just the kind of person Kes was. Don't explain it, Naomi, just accept it," he then hugged her. And she was thankful for it.
"Thank you, Neelix, really. I feel more at ease already."
"You're welcome, little one. I'm going to leave you now. I think you just need time to rest. Congratulations, and good luck, my dear. Good night," Neelix kissed her on her forehead, something he had done when she was just a little child, after her bedtime story. Then, he left.
Naomi and Bailey had their hands full with their little bundle of joy. They were up nights, they were tired all the time, their quarters smelled like baby powder, but they were, most of all, happy. Tom, in time, came to acknowledge the fact that he was, indeed, a grandfather. He spoiled Hannah rotten. The entire ship was happy with the new arrival.
