Horror Days- Chapter 6
Day 4 (on Voyager)
B'Elanna had been in Engineering for nearly 18 hours straight. The Captain and the Doctor had ordered her back to her quarters. She needed to rest they said, she wasn't the 36-hour straight person she was before the baby.
But it was hard to go to sleep without him there. Nearly impossible, so she looked over all the diagnostics Voyager had taken of the planet. The only thing out of the ordinary was when the storm happened. She had looked them over twice and still nothing.
Then she got 6 hours of sleep, the baby probably wasn't happy about that, but that was all B'Elanna could get until she had a nightmare. A nightmare of Tom's death and how it would be without him. So, she got up again and sat on their couch. And she picked up a book Tom had been reading before he left. B'Elanna started to read it and was half way through when the door chime went off.
"Come in." B'Elanna said reading the book. Harry walked in and over to B'Elanna.
"Are you hungry?" He asked.
"Not really." B'Elanna answered, though it was just above a mumble as she was still enthralled in the book.
"Come on, B'Elanna, you and the baby have to eat, even if it is some of Neelix's weird gunk." Harry pleaded. "I'll even chip in some of my rations and we'll get something good to eat."
B'Elanna paused and thought for a little bit. "Fine, Starfleet, let's eat." B'Elanna put down the book after marking her page. B'Elanna stretched as she stood up and then walked over to Harry.
"What were you reading?" Harry asked.
"A book Tom was reading before he left." B'Elanna replied. They left her quarters and started towards the Mess Hall.
"What's it called?" Harry questioned.
"Bad Twin." B'Elanna answered. "Tom says it was based off some old Television show."
"Do you remember the title of the show?" Harry asked; he was trying to get B'Elanna to open up about something, anything. They got into the turbolift and Harry called for the Mess Hall.
"Ummm, something to do with the word 'lost'. It was either Lost in Space or just plain Lost." B'Elanna replied. "I'm not quite sure. But the book is pretty good."
There was silence until the turbolift stopped and they reached the Mess Hall. Harry and B'Elanna went up to the replicator.
"What do you want?" Harry asked.
"I don't know Harry." B'Elanna replied somewhat annoyed. "I feel like having some banana pancakes."
"Banana pancakes for you and I'll get a chicken sandwich." Harry said to B'Elanna. He then ordered the food and got some coffee from Neelix.
They sat down together at a table and began to eat. She wasn't really in a talking mood which somewhat annoyed Harry. He wanted to help her, but knew that if she was sulking this bad there was pretty much nothing he could do.
