Chapter 8 – Unwritten.

"I swear that bathtub is bigger than it was before," said Kathryn Janeway as she exited the bathroom, tightening her robe around her.

"Yeah, I designed it so we could fit the monkey in as well."

Kathryn wrinkled her nose. "The only dirt I intend to have in my water is yours." She winked suggestively before sauntering out of the bedroom.

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me." Kathryn poured herself a cup of coffee. "Want one?"

He shook his head, "As far as I recall, my half of the shelter was always cleanest."

"That would be because you sat in my half when you did those sand paintings of yours."

"I thought you liked those sand paintings."

"I did."

"You did?"

"I did," she affirmed.

"Pity we didn't keep any."

"Oh Chakotay, don't be silly. Of course I kept the painting." She paused, "Although I did consider burning it that time you and…."

"Seven?"

"Yes Seven."

"Oh Kath…"

"It's alright Chakotay, I read the letter."

"Mmm, I liked my letter."

"Letters, there were at least two."

"It was the second one I liked the best."

"That was just yesterday." She gasped. "Feels like ages ago."

"Computer two bowls of Nestle Coco-Crunch." Chakotay picked the bowls off the replicator.

"Coco-Crunch, what's that… oh chocolate…" Kathryn reached for the bowl.

"Magic word?"

"Don't you mean magic action?" she asked, as she kissed him lightly on the lips.

"I'll settle for that."

She spooned the food into her mouth.

"I'm thinking of framing those letters. Our grandchildren will know the plight their grandfather suffered to win the love of his life."

"Is that what you tell every girl you meet?"

"Only ones that stare me out in the middle of the Delta Quadrant."

"Can't be many loves of your life then."

"Only one."

Kathryn laughed; amazed at her ability to flirt so openly with a man she had tried to be so cautious around. She was enjoying this… she felt younger than she had in years. The day couldn't get any better.

"I'll get that, you go and change," Chakotay urged her in the direction of the bedroom as the doorbell rang.

"Okay," she called. "You know what."

"What?" he asked.

"Your bathrobe is so comfortable. I mean, why don't they make these great towely robes for women anyway. You can hardly find them anymore, all you get are those soft, silky thin ones," Kathryn emerged from the bedroom. "B'Elanna…" She grinned sheepishly, "Hi."

"Captain," B'Elanna nodded testily.

Kathryn shot Chakotay a confused look.

"I forgot to mention I had a lunch date with 'Lanna today."

"Oh ok, you two go ahead, I should get back to the office anyway."

"It's Sunday, Kathryn."

"Wars don't avoid themselves because it's Sunday, Chakotay."

"Wars will happen if Admirals snap at –"

"Oh," gasped B'Elanna suddenly.

"What?" Admiral and her ex-first officer turned to look at their ex-chief engineer.

"Admiral… I called you Captain."

"Don't worry about it. It's about time you started calling me Kathryn anyway."

"Alright… Kathryn." B'Elanna grinned, "Why don't you come with us?" Momentarily startled B'Elanna hadn't known what to day to them, but after the initial shock had finally recovered her ground.

"How's Miral?" asked Kathryn, as she poured B'Elanna a cup of tea.

"Fine. She's started walking."

"Oh, how sweet," Kathryn smiled. "I'd love to see her."

"Why don't you come over after lunch?"

"I don't know… Chakotay… I'm… I don't know. Chakotay," she called to Chakotay who had decided it was his turn to change into something more acceptable for outside wear.

"Sounds good to me."

Tbc….

A/N: I actually meant to do something else with this… okay, so I did have a little idea of where this chapter would go when I started, but it turned out completely different. But it was a good idea… and now I can only use it if Kayln writes the story so it'll fit. (Don worry about it though Kay, it's all part of that fun…)

A/N: ps: bril chap… sooo sweet!
