Disclaimer: I only wish Voyager was mine, but Paramount owns them and it is our duty to speculate what they don't see fit to reveal in the series, and are too lazy to make a movie. If only they would see it our way...

AN: Hey everyone, thanks for all those people religiously reading this story, I honestly have no idea how I'm going to end it! I love the reviews that keep coming, they really do inspire me. If anyone has any ideas on how to end this, for example them getting home, which at the moment is my favourite idea, but if Q has anything to do with it is up to you. Any ideas, on anything in either this story or any of my others, will be greatly appreciated and if I remember they will be noted in the beginning. Now, without further ado, on with Chapter Twenty!

Banned From Coffee Chapter 20 - Introducing...

Kathryn sat in the large oak rocking chair in Chakotay's converted quarters, which now was the twins' nursery. Her eyes were slowly closing, the effects of the day's events finally catching up with her. But, she really couldn't fall asleep at that time, since her newborn son and daughter were in her arms. The older twin, Natalie Amanda, was in Kath's left arm while her younger brother, Andrew Edward, was asleep in her right arm.

Not wanting to move and risk waling up the tired children, Kathryn quietly motioned towards her husband. Since he was still awake, it didn't take much before he had risen from the comfortable Starfleet-issue couch on the other side of the room.

Quietly tiptoeing across the room, Chakotay went to relieve his wife his son, Andrew. Andrew's birth had been more difficult than Natalie's, since Andrew had turned out to be the echo twin, the child hiding from scans. His heart and lungs were a tiny bit underdeveloped, and he was smaller that Natalie.

"Here, let me take Andrew so you can put Natalie in her crib. We both know you need to get some sleep before the party tonight.," Chakotay was being extra careful with his wife, her fragile body still recovering from labour.

"Yeah, it'll be good to see what Tom, Harry and B'Elanna have come up with for this party," Kathryn said softly, rocking her chair so she could lift herself out of it to put Natalie in her crib, then hit her bed.

After confirming both children were safely asleep in their respective cribs, blue for Andrew, pink for Natalie, Chakotay carried his exhausted wife through the connecting doors into their quarters, ready to fall asleep together.

The quarters belonging to the Paris-Torres family were bustling when B'Elanna walked into her home. Tom and Harry were spread out on the living area floor, padds and other assorted items spread out around them.

"What is going on here?" B'Elanna asked from the doorway she leaning on, startling the men on the floor.

"Ah, B'E, we can't decide on the setting for the party tonight. Should it be a beach on Risa, the garden where they were married, Kathryn's home in Indiana or a disco hall?"

"A what?" she said, referring to the last option.

"A dicso hall. Somewhere people in the 20th century used to hold huge parties, with lots of music, food and dancing."

Receiving a dirty look back from both Harry and his wife, Tom deleted the last option from the padd. "OK, no to the disco hall then. Still, should it be Risa, the garden or her home?"

B'Elanna and Harry shared a look, then answered the helmsman at the same time.

"Indiana."

"OK then," he said, typing more into the padd in his hand. "Indiana it is."

The Doctor walked along deck two towards Chakotay's former quarters, the place where the Janeway twins now resided. Efficiently, he punched in his medical override code, gaining himself instant access to the infants.

As soon as the doors opened, the Doc's ears were overwhelmned with the sounds of crying newborns. Immediately looking around for their parents, he assumed they were fast asleep in their bed next door. Rushing to the first bedroom, he expertly picked up Natalie in one arm and Andrew in the other, ready to gently rock them back to sleep. Obviously, the Captain had not yet found the time to replicate baby monitors.

Sitting down in the rocking chair, the Doctor started singing soft lullabies to the screaming children. After a couple of minutes listening to the calming voice, Natalie and Andrew brought their screming down to a slight wimper, a greatly improved sound level.

He could hardly wait until the grand party Tom was planning. No one would know about their destination until they arrived, so even the parents of the guests of honour would be oblivious to their childrens' party area.

Slowly, the children fell asleep in his holographic arms, bringing a welcome respite to his ears. Knowing his putting the twins back in their cribs would wake them up, the Doc kept rocking and humming lullabies to keep the infants calm until their presentation party.

1800 hours came all too quickly for the likes of Kathryn and Chakotay. At 1730 the computer had woken them up, making sure they would be ready for the party.

After a quick sonic shower together, the pair changed into casual clothes so they would be comfortable for the night's entertainment.

"Sounds like they are sleeping," Chakotay said, listening through the door to his former quarters.

"I wouldn't be so sure about that," Kathryn said, punching in her access code to enter the converted nursery.

As they walked through the door, Kath spied the Doctor rocking the twins gently in her chair, still humming lullabies.

"Ah, Kathryn, Chakotay," he whispered. "They've been asleep for about an hour now. If it's time for the party, I would suggest making sure there are a pair of cribs in the holodeck for them, as Allie has been very restless lately."

"Allie?" Chakotay asked, looking at his daughter's face.

"It was easier to say than Natalie. Plus, I find it should be easier for the younger children to call her by the shortened name. Not to mention easier for her parents..."

Sharong a look, the pair giggled together. "Yeah, I know we should be going to the party. It'll be nice to see where Mr Paris has booked the twin's first holodeck experience."

Before anyone had a chance to respond, giggle, cry or wail, an internal comm line opened inside the nursery.

"Paris to Janeway," her comm badge chirped.

Sighing, the still-exhausted Kathryn tapped her the communicator to open the line. "Janeway here. I hope everyone is waiting for us."

The occupants of the room heard a disembodied chuckle echo around them. "Yes ma'am. You're only an hour late, and the guests of honour seem to be equally late too. You wouldn't happen to know where they are, would you?"

Even the Doctor could hear Paris smirk after he finished talking.

"I may have just given birth, Lieutenant," Kathryn started, equalling the helmsman's smirk with one of her own. "But I can still pull rank on you, just remember that next time you want to mock me or my children, Tom."

A very audible scoff, one with a female voice behind it, interrupted the conversation, or lack there of, coming from the mouth of Tom Paris.

"B'Elanna, how's the party going?" Chakotay asked, recognising the voice behind the scoff.

"Um... Great," she said slowly, not liking being put on the spot. "We're just missing the guests of honour."

Laughing again, Janeway moved to relieve the Doctor of one of her children. "I get the hint. We're on our way now. Janeway out."

Gathering up his other child from the Doctor, Chakotay turned to his wife. "I guess that means we have to go to the party now, so we'd better get going."

Watching the new family walk out of the quarters, the forgotten Doctor still sat in the rocking chair. "Nice to know I'm loved," he said under his simulated breath. As the doors closed, he rose to leave the nursery, but not before replicating a pair of baby monitors as a baby shower present.

AN: Hey everyone, what I am about to say applies to anyone and everyone who reads this fic. I am confused about where to end this. As from here on, the continuation is up to reviewers. Should I continue the fic, and if so - how? Or should I include one more chapter, an epilogue, then start on a sequel? Any ideas on either suggestion will be greatly appreciated., so review, review, REVIEW!

Many thanks, tayababy, aka Emma!
