For the Love of a Child
Part Six
B'Elanna returned to her quarters sadly. She hadn't realized it before but she really did miss Seven. Even though Seven was only a few decks away, only a couple of minutes away in the turbo lift, it still upset her. She had gotten used to waking up with Seven, talking to her, and eating most of their meals together.
With a heavy heart B'Elanna walked into her quarters. All she wanted to do was to go to bed and hope that things would look better in the morning.
"What took you so long to get back?" Paris asked with a smile as he set the table. "The Lasagna is getting cold."
"What the hell are you still doing here?" B'Elanna asked incredulously.
"Come on B'Elanna, you're not still upset are you? Why don't we talk about it over dinner? I know the Lasagna used up a lot of replicator rations. It would be a shame for it to go to waste." Paris said as he took a bite.
"Stop eating that!" B'Elanna said as she pulled the plate away from Tom. "That was supposed to be for Seven and me."
"What's the big deal? It isn't like she's coming back. She knows that she can't trick you anymore with me around." Tom said pompously.
"Get this through your thick head, SEVEN WAS NOT TRYING TO TRICK ME!" B'Elanna shouted. "She's my friend."
"What is with you all of a sudden? Everything is about Seven now. It's all you can talk about. It's like I don't even know you anymore." Tom said as he also got angry.
"You wouldn't understand," B'Elanna said with a sigh.
"Try me," Tom said arrogantly.
"For the first time in my life I'm in a situation that I can't talk or fight my way out of. I know what the right thing to do is, but I'm too afraid to do it and that isn't even the worst part." B'Elanna said feeling disgusted with herself.
"It sounds like you got off easy. What are you complaining about?" Tom asked confused.
"Seven is just letting me off the hook. She said that I could walk away from this, pretend it never happened, and forget that we have a child together." B'Elanna said as she lost most of the steam she had in the beginning.
"I still don't get it. Seven let you off the hook you should be celebrating, not moping around now that she's gone."
"I don't deserve to be let off the hook. If this was happening to me and not Seven I know that I couldn't handle it half as well or with near the same amount of dignity. I would have blamed her for it. I would have forced her to do all the things the she told me I didn't have to do."
"Well it isn't happening to you, so you don't even have to think about it."
"The way that Seven acts, the way that she is always trying to help others made me realize something. She's the one that always thinks about it. Even if something isn't her fault she will always try. She's better than us Tom, all of us."
"Seven is part Borg. How the hell can she be better than us?" Tom asked.
"It's because of things like that. When have you ever know Seven to judge someone because of the way they look, or where they come from? She treats us all as equals."
"I've heard enough." Tom said with a look of disgust on his face. "You have to choose Seven or me."
"Over the past few days I learned more about you than the entire time we were going out. If it was you and me having a baby, you would do everything you could to get out of it. I know now that I can't have any kind of relationship with you because of that. It's over Tom." B'Elanna said quietly. She thought that she would feel sad about ending things with Tom, but strangely enough she didn't feel anything.
"Fine," Tom said gruffly. "I just hope you realize that there isn't any coming back from this," he said as he stormed out of B'Elanna's quarters.
B'Elanna sat down with a sigh. She just hoped that Tom would leave things where they were.
~***~
Seven awoke that morning in an emergency cot. Samantha had brought it over when she decided that Seven was going to be staying with her for a while. The cot itself was comfortable enough, and Seven was able to sleep through most of the night, but something just didn't feel right to her. When she was sleeping in B'Elanna's bed it just felt right.
"How did you sleep?" Samantha asked as she knelt down beside Seven.
"I slept well." Seven said as she rubbed her eyes uncertainly.
"What's the matter Seven?"
"It feels different. It is not the same without B'Elanna here." Seven said, sitting up.
"If you miss B'Elanna why don't you just talk to her?"
"Lieutenant Paris informed me that I was ruining B'Elanna's life. I do not wish to do that, especially know that we are friends."
"You don't have to listen to what he says. Paris is just acting like a petty child. He only said those things to drive you away from B'Elanna. None of it is true." Samantha said honestly.
"Why would Lieutenant Paris tell me such things if they were not true?" Seven wondered out loud.
"He lied to you Seven." Samantha explained. "He was probably feeling jealous of all the time that you spent with B'Elanna and wanted to get you out of the way."
"Do all humans lie? The doctor has never spoken to me of this during my lessons about humanity."
"I'll be honest with you Seven, just about everyone you know has lied at some point in their lives."
"It seems more efficient to always tell the truth."
"It is, but most people don't have the courage to confront their problems directly."
"Thank you Samantha, your explanation was helpful." Seven said as she got out of bed.
~***~
B'Elanna woke up that morning with a sigh. Last night had been one of the worst nights that she could remember. Seven had moved out, and she had broken up with Tom. The surprising thing that morning was the fact that she couldn't care less that her relationship with Tom was over. What she cared about was that Seven was gone, and she had no idea where her relationship with the younger woman stood.
'Maybe Seven's already up.' B'Elanna thought as she got out of bed. 'If I hurry maybe the two of us can get breakfast together.'
B'Elanna quickly got dressed and made her way down to Samantha's quarters.
Samantha opened the door to her quarters to see a nervous B'Elanna fiddling with her thumbs.
"I hope that you took care of things with Paris before you came here." Samantha said in a stern voice.
"I ended it with Tom last night. Everything that has been happening with Seven and me made me realize that Tom and I weren't right for each other." B'Elanna said smiling slightly.
"You don't seem too disappointed about it." Samantha said with a knowing smirk on her face.
"It's actually kind of relief that it's over. To tell you the truth I'm more nervous about talking to Seven than I was talking to Tom."
"She's in the washroom. She should be out in a few minutes though. Why don't you sit down over there?" Samantha asked as she pointed to the couch in the living room.
"Sure." B'Elanna said as she sat down. This was the first time that she had actually been in Samantha's quarters. B'Elanna had to admit to herself that it was not what she expected.
She thought for sure that there would be children's toys all over the floor, Samantha running around the room frantically trying to get herself and Naiomi ready for the day, and a bunch of broken or damaged furniture.
What B'Elanna saw was a very well maintained and tastefully decorated home.
"B'Elanna, I did not expect to see you so soon." Seven said a she stepped out of the washroom.
"I need to talk to you about what Tom said last night." B'Elanna said as she stood up. "None of what Tom said was true, he's just jealous about all the time I'm spending with you."
"It was not all lies B'Elanna. I promised you that you would not have to be part of this. I told you that your life would not change. That promise has been broken." Seven finished quietly.
"I admit that at first I didn't want my life to change. I was comfortable with where I was, but that changed. I was the one that broke your promise Seven. I like my life better with you in it." B'Elanna said sincerely.
"I enjoy your company as well B'Elanna, but Lieutenant Paris does not wish for me to have a friendship with you. I do not wish to fight with him."
"You don't have to worry about that anymore. Tom and I broke up last night after he had his talk with you."
"May I ask why you ended your relationship?" Seven asked.
"After what he said about you, and what he felt about pregnancy I realized that it would never work out between us." B'Elanna said with a smile.
"You do not seem to be emotionally damaged over the subject." Seven observed.
"That's because I'm glad that it's over. Towards the end of our relationship I began to wonder more and more about why we even started to go out."
~***~
Tom woke up the next morning to a very bad hangover. After his break up with B'Elanna he had gone right to Sardenes. He got back to his quarters around three in the morning, and hand to start his shift in about an hour.
'I can't believe that B'Elanna dumped me for that Borg' Tom thought angrily. 'After everything we've been through I can't believe she could just end it like that.'
'It was all Seven's fault. If she didn't get pregnant none of this would have happened and B'Elanna and I would have been fine. I just have to find a way to make B'Elanna realize what she's missing out on.'
Tom had to stop his scheming when he heard his door chime. He opened the door to see the smiling face of Harry Kim.
"Hey Tom, do you want to get some breakfast before our shift starts?" he asked.
"Sure, let's go." Tom said as he put on his uniform jacket.
"Let's get B'Elanna too." Harry said. "It's been ages since the last time the three of us had breakfast together."
"I don't think that's a good idea Harry." Tom said trying to avoid the somewhat touchy subject.
"You two didn't have another fight did you?" Harry asked.
"No it was more like a breakup." Tom said realizing that Harry would find out eventually.
"What happened? I thought you guys were getting along okay now." Harry asked a little shocked.
"It was Seven." Tom said starting to feel angry again. "She has B'Elanna rapped around her little finger. B'Elanna broke up with me because of the way our relationship was affecting Seven." Tom said careful to leave out the fact that he made Seven cry and practically called her child an abomination.
"So what are you going to do to get her back?" Harry asked. "I don't see you as the type to just let something like this go."
"I'm not. All I have to do is get B'Elanna jealous. After that she'll come running back to me, and forget all about Seven." Tom said trying to pull off an evil smile.
"After what Seven did, I think it's the only way to go." Harry said secretly hoping that with B'Elanna out of the way he'd have his chance with Seven.
"The only problem is finding someone that would make B'Elanna jealous." Tom said.
"What about Meagan Delaney?" Harry asked. "She's always had a thing for you. If you hadn't started going out with B'Elanna I'm sure the two of you would have been together."
"That's perfect Harry," Tom said with a smile.
~***~
B'Elanna and Seven had spent most of their morning talking, which meant that B'Elanna didn't have enough time to have breakfast with Seven.
Eventually Seven gave in to B'Elanna's reasoning to move back in, due to the fact that there was no real reason for her not to move back in with B'Elanna. Tom wasn't going to be a problem anymore and it really was the safest place for Seven and the baby.
When B'Elanna left for her duty shift Seven, Naiomi, and Samantha decided to go to the mess hall for breakfast.
When the three women sat down they were surprised to see the Captain walk over to them.
"How are you feeling Seven?" Janeway asked carefully. She was trying very hard not to upset the younger woman.
"I am well Captain. Thank you for asking." Seven said stiffly. She was still uncomfortable around the Captain, and it was obvious to everyone in the mess hall.
"Seven I know that when the baby comes along you're going to need someone to help take care of her. If you want, I could be that person." Janeway said hopefully.
"You have told me that I was not ready to have a child, and that you had no wish to have anything to do with her. What has changed?" Seven asked confused.
"I came to my senses." Janeway said sincerely. "It was wrong of me to tell you to get rid of the child, and it should not matter that the child is not a Janeway. I want to be there for you Seven. I want to help you raise your daughter."
"I do not know what to say Captain. I need time to think about this." Seven said reluctantly, still not wanting to start any kind of personal relationship with the Captain.
"That's all I ask Seven." Janeway said as she walked away hopefully.
"I didn't know that the Captain had a thing for you Seven," Samantha said as she took a bite of her eggs.
"The Captain wishes to start a relationship with me." Seven said quietly.
"How are you going to tell her you're not interested?" Naiomi asked.
"You don't know that Seven isn't interested." Samantha admonished her daughter.
"Naiomi is correct. The idea of starting a relationship with the Captain is, unappealing." Seven said choosing her words carefully.
"What's wrong with the Captain?" Samantha asked curiously.
"She is the person that severed me from the borg collective, and has played a large part in the formation of my personality. It would be similar to asking why you and Naiomi have not started a relationship."
"I see your point," Samantha said cringing. "Just promise you that you will never say anything like that again."
"I will promise if you do the same." Seven said with a smirk while Naiomi laughed in the background.
"Deal," Samantha said as she began to see the humor in the situation as well.
~***~
Meagan was beaming as she walked into engineering. She had seen right through Tom's pathetic plan to make B'Elanna jealous. She had only agreed to help because she knew once Tom failed it would pave the way for her and B'Elanna.
"B'Elanna," she said plastering a sincere expression on her face. "I just finished talking to Tom. He told me that you guys weren't going out anymore."
"Yeah, how did you know about that?" B'Elanna asked curiously.
"Well Tom told me about it this morning. He asked me to dinner tonight. Is it okay if I go out with him?" Meagan asked.
"Tom and I broke up Meagan. You don't need my permission to go out with him," B'Elanna replied offhandedly.
"It doesn't bother you that he wants to go out with me so soon after you guys broke up?" Megan asked unable to contain her shock.
"I'm just glad that the whole thing's over." B'Elanna said as walked over to her office to begin her paperwork.
'Perfect, now that I know B'Elanna won't be mad at me I can start making Tom look bad.' Meagan thought as she got to work.

Celine Janeway: He's evil and will definatley get what's coming to him.
Kat: It's fanfiction, and it's up to the writer to make up their personalities, besides I usually don't like the way the show wrote the characters.
