Chap.7- The Surprise

and for a moment that shame image as the one taken on SeTara VI was recreated…

He looked lovingly into her deep blue eyes as they stood there side by side in his living room. She could feel her heart pounding in her chest as she anticipated what he was about to do.

"Kathryn" he whispered as his lips lowered down upon hers.

They stood there for what seemed an eternity before they broke the kiss off.

"Wow" was all she could say until they burst out giggling again. She couldn't believe she had waited this long to finally kiss him. And she finally knew what she was missing out on.

" If I had known it was that good I would have kissed you years ago." She found herself saying. Chakotay laughed at this and hugged her tight.

"I love you Kathryn." Her heart felt like it skipped a beat at hearing those words she had only dreamed of him saying.

"I love you too, but if I'm not mistaken, you promised me a surprise." He laughed at her expression because at that very moment she was looking too much like Tuvok for her own good.

" What do you think your laughing at Mister?" she asked with an edge to her voice.

"Just how much you looked like Tuvok just now." This earned him a playful punch in the ribs. "and as for your surprise, if you would walk this way my love."

He led her into the living room where he had set up the table with a beautiful hunter green table cloth, candles, wine glasses and plates. He called for lights on half illumination and lit the candels. He went to the replactor and punched in the order. Within seconds a wonderful aroma filled the air.

Kathryn laughed." So, lets see here. You have candles, half lights and wine. Seems to me like your trying to recreate an evening on Voyager."

"No," he said, " this is going to be so much more."

He began serving her what he knew was one of her favorite meals he cooked for her on New Earth. Vegetarian Lasagna. He wanted this night to be special.

About half way through the meal he stopped eating and looked at her. To him she had never appeared more beautiful.

" You know you can have your surprise when you are done eating."

He had never in the seven and a half years he'd known her seen Kathryn Janeway eat that quickly. Within five Minuets, her plate was clean.

"Ok. So where is it?" she asked.

"Finished already? Alright, come here." She obeyed and he wrapped a blindfold around eyes. After he finished tying it around her head, he walked in front of her and kissed the tip of her nose.

"Are you ready?" he whispered. At the nod of her head, he took her hands in his and lead her into his bathroom, where the lights had been dimmed and candle light was reflecting off the walls. When he placed her hands on a solid wood surface a slight smile crossed her face.

"What is this Chakotay?" she asked with a hint of amusement in her voice.

"Are you sure you are ready?" At this comment she placed her hands on her hips. "Ok I'll take that as as yes." he replied.

He stepped up behind her and untied the blindfold. As it fell away, a slight gasp escaped her lips. There before her stood the bathtub he had built for her all those years ago on a little uninhabited planet thousands of light years away they knew as New Earth.

"Chakotay! How did you?"

" I replicated the materials and placed it together this morning. The piece of wood you have your hands on is the only thing that's not replicated. It is from the original. I took it that morning before we left. To remind me of New Earth, and the promise i made to you."

When he finished she looked up at him with tears in her eyes.

"I love you." she stated as tears rolled down her cheeks. She wrapped her arms tightly around his neck and kissed him lightly on the lips.

TBC!!
