Chapter
Ten
One Year Later...
The mess hall is decorated with
pink and white balloons. Decorations of butterflies
hand from the
rafters as well as the windows. This is the celebration of both
Miral
and Isabella's birthday. A few months later for Miral but
she is loving it. Spending
time with her best friend and they are
only a year old.
"Neelix bring out the cakes we have to
capture this moment on camera so that when
the children are older
they can prove they were best friends since they were
babies."
"Right away Tom, I have made something
special for Miral as well as Belle. But
don't worry the cakes were
replicated I didn't add anything new. Didn't want them to
have
their first cake and hate cake forever."
Neelix exits out
of the room as a rather large box is placed near the infants and
their
parents. It was a gift from their parents. It was also very
hard to keep quiet for a few
hours before the party. Soon Neelix
comes back with two cakes. One with Miral's
name on it in the
shape of a teddy bear and the other Belle's name on it in the shape
of
a butterfly.
"Happy Birthday Girls this is a cake I
made especially for you. It took some
convincing mind you. But it
worked out."
The candle is lit as the parents and crew
sing "Happy Birthday" to the infants and
blow out the
candles. Miral places her fist in the icing and winds up
getting
everywhere but her mouth. Belle sticks her fingers in and
gets some on her clothes and
nose but it was a cute moment.
A
little while later it is time for presents. The biggest presents came
first one for
Miral and one for Belle. They may be a little young
for it but they wouldn't be
forever."
The boxes are
opened and out comes Pure breed hymalayian kittens one female
one
male. They would grow up together.
"I can't
believe we found these cats out here."
"You wouldn't
believe how long it took for us to find them than we ran into a
trader
on the planet right before we came up here that said his
cate just have three kittens
and he needed to find a home for
them. Well being the animal lovers we are we
decided to get them
for the girls. They are litter-trained and have their own room
where
they can do business."
"That was a great idea the
children will love them if we have anymore."
"We
will have another one."
Everyone looked at Captain
Janeway as she smiled.
"Yes, Chakotay and I are expecting
again. The baby is due in the early December give
or take a month
or two you know how our children are egar to make their
apperiences."
"That's amazing, Tom and I are
expecting as well, we are due in early November. We
weren't
expecting to have one so soon but you know how it is."
"It's
the same for Kathryn and I we didn't need to do any special
procedures to get
pregnant this time we just did."
"Are
you having a boy or a girl?"
"Belle is going to have
a baby sister."
"What about you B'Elanna?"
"We
are having a boy."
"Your kidding right?"
"No
we just found out today, ask the Doctor he is the one who ran the
exam."
"Is she really having a boy Doctor?"
"Yes
she is. Now instead of best friends your children may become a couple
in fifteen
years you never know."
"That is the
best news I have ever heard."
The End...Or is it?
Feedback may continue this saga.
