[2 MONTHS AGO]
The Cardassian brought his hand back and slapped Chakotay across the face. "Maquis scum."
Chakotay stared at the carsassian but refused to give any information, "I am no longer a Maquis and I haven't been for years."
His thoughts went back to the moment he first saw Kathryn. He didn't care that she had been transported away, she would come back.
He loved her.
He was brought out of his reverie by another slap across the face. "You will tell me what you know,"Tell me what I need to know. I know that you were very close to now Admiral Janeway. I
want to know what she knows about Tau Ceti."
Chakotay searched his memory, she had told him about this before. She was a young lieutenant. It had to do with the day her father and fiancé died. It had wounded her severly.
He had felt for her, but he had known something like that she had buried and dealt with. He had wanted to help her but couldn't, this was something that was done.
He had spoken to her of the child she had lost that had been 'Justin's', a life long passed.
He felt the Cardassian grab his hair and lift him up. "We will get the information out of you and if not you we will get it out of her"
His eyes got wide as he thought about Kathryn getting tortured by the Cardassians.
"You won't be able to break her."
The Cardassian laughed, "You sound awfully sure of that."
Chakotay glared at the Cardassian. "I know that."
The Cardassian slapped him again. "Maybe we'll have better luck with the pregnant one."
Chakotay knew exactly who he was talking about. Jor was due to give birth in the next couple of weeks to Tom and BElanna's baby. "Even Cardassians must know not to hurt a woman carrying a baby."
The Cardassian leered at him, "We already took care of the baby issue."
Chakotay felt the light in his eyes go out as he thought about what they might have done to the child. "You'll never get anything out of any of us, and if you hurt Kathryn I will kill you."
The Cardassian laughed, "So she is your weak spot."
[PRESENT]
Kathryn stared at the man before her in the throes of a nightmare. She shook his arm. "Chakotay."
He was caught in the nightmare all she heard was, 'if you hurt her I'll kill you."
She sighed. She could not imaging the hell he was going through. She tried another tactic, "Commander!"
He slowly awoke from his nightmare state. "Kathryn?"
The questioning in his eyes bothered her. "It's me Chakotay. You're home."
He shook his head and threw himself at her. "We're all okay?"
She kissed the top of his head. "We're all okay." She pause shed knew that Chakotay had not heard this yet. "Ensign Jor had the baby. It was a girl. Tom and B'Elanna named her Miral after B'Elanna's mother."
He shook his head. "That's great." He looked down at her belly. "What about our little one?" He put a hand out to touch the child growing in its mother and pulled it away unsure. "Is our baby okay?"
Kathryn smiled. "Of course he or she is." She put his hand on her belly so he could feel the baby squirming. "Better than okay now that their daddy is here."
Chakotay rubbed his hand along her belly and felt the product of their love and companionship showing itself. "We love you Chakotay and we're glad you're home."
He kissed her on the lips. "I'm glad I'm home too."
She looked at him. "Someday, you're going to have to tell me about those nightmares."
He sighed. "I don't wish that on anyone and I don't want to give you any more nightmares to think about."
Kathryn's lips approached his and they lay back down.
His hands wandered up to her engorged breasts and Kathryn felt how sensitive they had become since the pregnancy. "I want to see you Kathryn; all of you."
Kathryn blushed and Chakotay thought it was adorable. "Kathryn, I want to see you." His and went to the bottom of her nightgown and began pulling it up.
Kathryn attempted unsuccessfully to pull the nightgown back down. "Just let me do this for you. Let me make you feel more comfortable, and show you that you are still beautiful." Kathryn stopped struggling and let him take the offending clothes off.
She lay there before him in nothing but her underwear and Chakotay began worshipping her body. He trailed kisses along her body. She heard the whispering to her unborn child and let the tears of happiness fall.
He reached her engorged breasts and began worshipping them and she felt the sensitive nubs standing at attention.
He licked his way around the areolas and she groaned in pleasure as he continued his ministrations.
She ran his hands through his hair and hadn't realized the thoughts she was thinking escaped her lips, *I love you.*
And he momentarily stopped his worship and smiled at her, "I know."
She brought his lips up to his and a gentle kiss ensued.
He slowly entered her beginning the slow up and down movements that had months ago created the life in her belly. He stared at her as he let himself go. "I love you so much Kathryn."
She nodded afraid to speak and stared into his soulful brown eyes, as she let a smile grace her features.
