It was an hour late, Kathrina walked in to her bedroom, Spike following. After her love making in the shower, Kathrina was now feeling guilty and angry for betraying Z, why feel angry, he's cheated on you loads of times. She was dressed in her black silk rode, with her hair put up in a clip, she walked over to her dressing table and sat in front of it, Spike stood behind.

She could see him in her mirror, the only thing covering him was the towel wrapped round his waist, she stared at him: he had broad shoulders with a muscular chest and arms; the sight was enough to make her heart beat quicker.

"Spike, I think you had better go," She said as she removed the clip from her hair. Spike watched her auburn hair fall round her shoulders, noticing that it was curly because of it being damp.

He ran his hands through it as he said, "Scared you might do something you'd regret."

"Scared I might say something I'd regret." Kathrina admitted.

Spike started to nibble on her ear when he muttered, "Then say it."

Kathrina wanted to, she wanted to tell him how much she wanted him to hold her, touch her, to love her all through the night. She wanted to tell him how much she loved him, but couldn't. Whether it was because of the pleasure of him nibbling on her ear and neck or whether she scared to admit it to him –and her- she didn't know, but the words just weren't coming out.

Kathrina stood up to face him; Spike stared at her before continuing what he started.

"I…I…" I love you.

Spike pulled back then took hold of her hand and lead her over to the bed. He pushed her down on to it, got on top of her and kissed her, passionately, his tongue slipping between her lips. Kathrina pulled the towel of him and dropped it on the floor.

"Kathrina!"

Spike pulled away from her. "Z."

Kathrina pushed at him to get off her, he did it willing and stood by the bed. Kathrina stood up. "What are we going to do?"

They could hear Z running up the stairs, closer to discovering them.

Spike headed for the door, Kathrina grabbed his hand before he could open it, "Are you crazy? He'll see you!"

"Kathrina are you in there?" Z called out.

Kathrina stared at her walk-in cupboard, and then an idea struck her. "Here, get in here." She said, pulling Spike closer to the cupboard, she then opened the door pushed him in it and closed it. She turned around to find Z standing in the doorway.

"Z." She spoke calmly that she didn't believe it was her speaking, since her heart was pounding with nerves that he might of saw Spike go in the cupboard.

Z walked over to her and kissed her, when he pulled back he walked over to the bed to sit on it.

Nope, he didn't see a thing, she thought as she followed him, when she was stood in front of the bed, she noticed Spike's towel lying on the floor. If that's there, that means Spike's… she tried not to stare at the cupboard, fear that Z will notice and find him, but she couldn't help it, she eye at it picturing Spike hiding in there, butt-naked.

"Kathrina?"

The sound of Z's voice brought her back to reality. "Yes." She smiled at him, then went over to the towel and kicked it under the bed.

"I was asking if you were okay, you looked light years away." He told her, and then took hold of her to guide her around the bed and on to his lap.

"Yeah, I'm fine." She answered as he wrapped his arms around her. "Why wouldn't I be?"

"I just asked!" He shouted then pushed her off his lap to stand up.

Kathrina sat still, looking horrified at him, since being Elizabeth Brown he had never shouted, hit her or did anything to hurt her, physically or emotionally. She slowly got up, went to him and put her arms around his waist. "There's no need to get angry, I'm sorry." She didn't know what for, but it seemed like a good thing to say.

"No, I'm the one that should be sorry, I didn't mean to shout, or scare you." He said then bent down to kiss her. "I'm going downstairs." He kissed her forehead then turned and walked out of the room.

Kathrina smiled to herself as she ran over to the cupboard and opened it to find Spike at the back looking through her dresses. "I hope you're not planning on wearing one of my dresses." Kathrina said, making him jump and turn around to face her, her smile widened at the sight before her.

"No, just looking. Why did you lock me in here, naked?" He asked walking over to her.

"Seemed like a good idea at the time." She moved away from the cupboard and went to get his towel. Spike closed the door and walked over to her to take the towel from her stretched out hand.

"You'd better go to your room, Z's only downstairs he might decide to come back up." She said then kissed him. She went to pull back but that only made Spike kiss her harder before he pulled away.

"Okay." He kissed her forehead then walked out of the room, leaving Kathrina to watch him go.

Z got into bed next to Kathrina who turned to face him. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer. "You screw him one more time, your dead. Got it?" He said bluntly.

Kathrina stared at him, she was shocked by how bluntly he had put it, and then she lied. "I'm not." Then she started getting out of bed, Z dragged her back down then pinned her against the bed. "You did you little whore! I felt it!" He spat at her, by now Kathrina was trying to get free. "I didn't bring him here for you to sleep with!" He backhanded her around her face, causing her to start crying. "If you do it again I swear to the Demon Gods that I will kill you!" Z grabbed her chin and forced her to look at him, then growled, "Do I make my self clear?"

Kathrina gritted her teeth. "Crystal."

Z tightened his grip on her chin then kissed her, Kathrina didn't respond, only closed her eyes to block him out. She could feel his hands ripping at her nightie, she couldn't run away from him, couldn't defend herself - she felt paralyzed.

"Come on Kathrina, if you can shag him then why not me? I am your man! And you moan that I never give it to you!" He shouted at her, before kissing her neck, slowly biting so it drew blood.

Kathrina's responds was to close her eyes tighter, but that wasn't stopping the tears from rolling down her cheeks. The she saw the little girl again.

Standing in a white dress. Crying. The grave, it was closer, she could just make out what was on it 'Mary Zander 15/06/1655-16/06/1655

Then she fell unconscious…

London, England, 1655: Victoria ran up to her Father and threw her arms around his legs. She was now an energetic 4-year-old, with thick curly hair and blue eyes, with her Mother's smile. Since her birth, things were looking good for Z and Elizabeth, he had got a job helping a Black Smith, which was bringing in more money than they had before and now they were expecting their second child.

"What is for dinner, Father?" She asked jumping up and down.

"Chicken and vegetables." Z answered.

"Yes!" The little girl shouted, clapping her hands.

"How is your mother?" Z started chopping the vegetables, moving them to the other side of the chopping board when finished with them.

"She is in bed." Came his answer.

As if to prove where she was, there was a cry of pain from the bedroom, Z dropped his knife and ran in to the room to find Elizabeth sitting up with a hand on her stomach.

"Elizabeth?" He went over to sit beside her.

"It is time." She informed him.

"Now, but it is too early." He replied.

"Father?" Came a little voice from the door.

Z looked over to the door to find Victoria standing there, looking scared. "Victoria quickly go get the doctor." He ordered her; she nodded and ran out of the room.

Demonrina, 2378: "Kathryn, can you hear me?"

Yeah, she thought but didn't open her eyes. Then realized that voice was familiar, she knew them from when she was human, when she was Kathryn Janeway.

Then she heard Z, "Don't call her that, she's Kathrina."

The other voice replied, "Well, she's still Kathryn to me. She's waking up."

She opened her eyes to find the Doctor staring at her – Voyager's Doctor. She closed her eyes for a moment, believing that she must be dreaming but when she opened them again he was still there, not looking any different then when she last saw him on Voyager.

"Doctor?" She said weakly.

"It's okay." He replied then hissed a hypospray to her neck. "That should help with the nausea."

Only after he said that, Kathrina realized she was feeling slightly sick, but it was soon washed away by the medicine. "Kathryn, what's the last thing you remember?"

"I told you not to call her that." Z growled at him.

The Doctor stood up to face him, Kathrina could see Z had his Demon face on, she looked at the Doctor who said, "What are you doing to do, suck photons out of me? I'm a hologram in case you've forgotten."

Z glared at him then his face returned to normal as the Doctor bent down to Kathrina.

What do I say? She asked herself. Tell him that Z was rapping her, or lie, but then what would she say. She didn't have to answer because the Doctor told her, "I've healed your injures, the cuts and bruises. You should make a full recovery."

"Thank you." She was about to ask how he got to Demonrina, since it was light years – in a different universe – from Voyager, but at that time Dagger ran in to the room.

"What happened? Is she alright?" He asked standing at the end of the bed.

Who told him, Kathrina wondered as the Doctor answered "She's going to be fine." He stood up. "As for what happened, ask him."

Dagger looked at his Father, Kathrina could tell that Dagger looked more like Z. Z replied, "She fell unconscious."

"How?"  Dagger asked as he sat next to Kathrina and took hold of one of her hands.

"Don't know." Z said.

Kathrina looked at her son, he was looking worried. She never considered him as her son but with him worry about her and showing that he cared, it helped her see him as a son.

"So, just how did she get her injuries?" The Doctor asked as he put away his medical equipment in to the case.

Z shrugged then looked at Kathrina who was glaring at him.

The Doctor shut his case and stood up to face Z, "Well, if I'm no longer needed, can I go?" Z nodded and was about to click his fingers when Kathrina said, "Not yet."

Z put his arm down by his side, the Doctor bent down to Kathrina, still holding the case. "Kathryn?"

"Doctor, it's good to see you again. Tell everyone I miss them and I wish you a speedy journey home." Kathrina whispered she could feel the tears threatening to show themselves again.

"I shall, and I'm glad I got to see you. Now get some rest, please." The Doctor stood again and looked at Z, who clicked his fingers and the Doctor was gone.

Kathrina closed her eyes, she was tired and her head was throbbing. Dagger kissed her forehead, it seemed he had gotten use to the fact that she was his Mother quicker then what she did, and then he left the room.

Z switched off the light then got back in to bed wrapped his arms around Kathrina.

"How did he get here? Why did you bring him here?" She asked.

"I beamed him here. Why, because I thought it would be nice for your old Doctor to treat you, he knows you better than Tai does." Z answered, then got comfy and closed his eyes. "Now do as he said and rest." Kathrina looked at him, before cuddling in to him to sleep.
