Another Place
Missing Scenes 5
"Seska…" Tom started.
Seska turned around and ran down the corridor. She knew where she was going even after two years of not being on the ship. As soon as she started to run down the hall, Tom was on her heels. He had no clue where the hell she was going, but it couldn't be good. Q ran after the two excited to see what was going to happen next.
Seska ran into a turbolift and the doors shut as soon as Tom was about to go into it. He ran into the doors and hit it head on. Tom then hit the turbolift doors then he ran to a Jeffries Tube hatch and got in. Tom started to make his way a deck up to see if he could grab another turbolift.
After making it a deck up, he got out of the Jeffries Tube and Q appeared next to him. She apparently didn't want to both with crawling. Running past them was Seska shocked to see him there so fast. Seska began to run faster and Tom ran after her. Tom then hit his comm. badge.
"Paris to Security, Tuvok, bring a security team to Sickbay as fast as possible." Tom said while running. "And bring Chakotay."
"Aye, sir." Tuvok responded.
Seska was going to Sickbay. She was going to kill someone. Probably one of the babies, if she was desperate enough, the Captain. And Tom wasn't going to let her even hurt one of them. Q stayed outside of Sickbay as Tom got through the Sickbay doors to find the sight of Seska holding one of the babies and had a phaser to its head. She was standing next to Janeway who was now awake with all the commotion. Janeway was then forced away from the main biobed leaving Seska there alone. The Doctor was standing next to the other babies, keeping her from getting them.
"Seska put the baby down." Tom said. He was holding out his hand and walking closer to Seska.
"Don't move Paris." Seska replied. The baby started to cry as it felt the cold surface of the phaser against its head. Tom stopped in his tracks in the middle of Sickbay.
"Seska you don't want to do this." Tom stated.
"If it will cause you pain, then I do." Seska responded.
"Seska, what are you doing back?" The Captain asked.
"In the shortest of terms, Captain, Q did it." Tom answered for Seska.
"Q?" The Captain questioned. "As in the Q?"
"Well, his wife, but still a Q." Tom replied.
"Shut up!" Seska yelled. "Paris you killed my baby!"
"I didn't even touch your baby, Seska." Tom said, trying to keep calm.
"If it wasn't for you I would've still been alive!" Seska yelled.
The Security Team then came in with phasers in hand. Tuvok was at the point and Chakotay was next to him. Chakotay looked at Seska in surprise.
"Seska?" Chakotay asked in disbelief.
"What the hell kind of move is that, Paris?" Seska yelled. "Try to get Chakotay to 'reason' with me? Bad move."
"Don't!" Tom yelled, he got a little closer to Seska and was close to the biobed. Seska moved back more. "Seska, don't do it! It's an innocent baby!"
"It has your blood, Paris, it's not innocent!" Seska replied.
"Seska, if you want to kill anyone it should be me." Tom said. "I'm the one who caused your death, Seska. It's my fault. You think I killed your son, but I didn't. If you want to punish me for what you think I did, then just kill me, keep the baby out of it."
"He didn't even have a name!" Seska yelled. "You killed a baby that didn't even have a name! Do you know the name of the baby I have, Paris? Do you?"
"Yes." Tom responded. "It's Joseph."
"Looks just like you, too." Seska said. "What a horrible thing."
"Seska." It was Chakotay. "Put the baby down, Seska. Leave the baby alone, Seska. It's done nothing to you."
"What, you think your voice will convince me, Chakotay?" Seska asked. "It won't work, it never has and it never will. Say goodbye to your baby, Paris."
Seska pushed the phaser next to the baby's head more. She looked down at the baby then looked back up at Tom. She smiled at Tom her devious smile and pushed down on the button on the phaser. The phaser began to fire when a bright light appeared.
The 141st Time Around…
Tom was standing in the corridor outside of Sickbay. He stared at the doors and Q walked up next to him. She smiled a bit, but Tom just leaned against the wall opposite the doors and fell to the ground.
"It was interesting at first, but then it got out of control." Q said.
"You're an ass." Tom stated simply. "I want to say more, but I don't think words could describe how horrible of a person you are."
Q stared at Tom for a bit but continued. "Now I know why you chose Joseph as the name for the boy." Q said.
"What?" Tom asked, though he didn't look at her.
"Janeway said Phoebe and then you said Joseph." Q replied. "Joey and Phoebe from your stupid show Friends. Weren't they the only ones that never got together?"
Tom looked at Q and gave a little smirk. "I actually didn't notice that…" Tom responded. "Well, I feel like going to the Holodeck and making holograms of Seska then killing her over and over again. I'll see ya later."
Author's Note: Only one more part left! Sorry, I'm really running out of ideas, but this last part will truly be funny. It's also sort of an Epilogue! Thanks for reading!
