Janeway walked onto the bridge, her hands placed on her hips as Ensign Kim smiled at her and gave her a nod of his head in greeting. So far the crew had been fairly understanding of her current situation. Kes much like Tuvok and some of the betazoids on the crew were all a little shocked since it seemed somehow Q's curious hybrid had avoided any psychic detection and yet now as Kes had pointed out put off a rather powerful energy pattern. To a point Kes couldn't actually be around her for too long without suffering the same headaches Janeway had felt before the baby apparently had learned to 'focus' her abilities. After three days without her showing up Janeway figured she wouldn't have gotten another visit ever again. Walking down to the captains seat Janeway sat down looking over to Paris. "Report."

"All is well captain, it's been smooth sailing for hours, nothing horribly exciting to report."

"Good, lets keep it that way." After everything Voyager had gone through it felt good having a little peace and quiet.

Chakotay leaned closer to her from his own seat, a little smile fixed on his face. "So, how's the kid?"

"Quiet." Janeway let out a little chuckle.

"What about you?"

She smiled again. "Thankfully much better now. The headaches have stopped, no more sharp pain in my sides, I still wish the nausea would go away though. At least I am getting better sleep now." Leaning back in her chair she allowed herself to get a little more comfortable. "It's been an interesting couple of weeks."

"Ha, I can imagine captain. I have to admit I was a little surprised you had changed you mind." Chakotay was no different than Q when it came to her safety and well being.

"Well, it's a long story Chakotay. You know how it goes, boy meets girl, girl ends up on the other side of the galaxy, girl feels lonely, girl meets another boy, boy tries to impress girl, boy ultimately succeeds, boy gets girl pregnant, girl is still trying to decide how to murder boy." Chakotay laughed along with her for a while feeling all the more puzzled and perhaps even a little angered. If Captain Janeway hadn't fully agreed on the child she was carrying now then did it mean Q had tricked her into this? Been deceitful to her? If he had, omnipotent or not he was going to make the Q pay. "Oh well, I guess this girl is just going to have to adapt."

"I don't doubt that she can." He had all the confidence in his captain. She had proven herself time and time again, and she would continue to do so. "Have you thought of any names yet?"

"Now that you mention it..." Janeway paused resting a hand over her abdomen with a little smile. "I have been putting some thought into it. Not that I have settled on anything yet but I have a decent start."

"Names?" Janeway found herself jumping when she heard the voice at first. It seemed to have come from nowhere, at least until she saw the little girl wearing a starfleet uniform standing on the bridge right next to her chair. "Whats a name?" The child rested her elbows on the back of the captains chair and set her chin on her hands watching with a look of awe.

"You can hear our conversation?"

"Yup yup I can, I can hear all of them, I mostly just listen. There isn't much else to do I guess."

Janeway arched a brow and looked over to Chakotay. "I guess I'm going to have to start watching what I'm saying from now on." Chakotay nodded his head and looked over at the small girl.

"A name is what, someone is called, what others call you by." Chakotay replied trying to help Janeway out a little.

"Like Captain?" The girl glanced over at him with big bright green eyes. It shocked him how much the young girl looked like the captain, right down to her auburn locks tied back in Kathryn's current favorite hair style.

"No, more like Chakotay, that's my name, or Katheryn." He motioned to Janeway causing a look of confusion on the girls face.

"But she's not Kathryn, she's mother. That's what she's called." Janeway cracked a smile, for being able to project herself outside her physical form she was very innocent. Likely no different than any other baby or toddler. Aside from the fact she wasn't a toddler or baby. She wasn't even beyond a fetal stage.

"No, mother is what you call her because she's...your mother." Chakotay tried to explain but the girl just twisted her face into one of further confusion.

"You know you really shouldn't be on the bridge." Janeway interrupted. Despite the strange circumstances children were still not allowed on the bridge.

The girl looked back to her mother and sat down on the ground in front of her. "But I can't leave the bridge unless you leave the bridge." Certainly, she couldn't grasp the concept of a name but she could be a smart ass even if she hadn't meant it. Must have gotten it from her father. "Aside from my physical body goes I mean. I can't project myself too far away from it or I'll lose control and have to wake up." Crossing her legs she looked up at Janeway with her beaming smile. "Do I have a name? What am I called?" All the more reason for Janeway to start considering names faster. They certainly couldn't call her girl or child for very long if she kept doing this.

Shifting in her seat she crossed her legs and leaned forward not quite certain how to act like a proper mother to her daughter. "Not yet but I have been thinking about it." That answer wasn't satisfying enough as the girl continued to sit there staring at her with a smile on her face. "But since you are around I could tell you a few of them." the girls eyes sparkled with excitement as she scooted a little closer. "Elizabeth was one of them, that was my grandmothers name and my middle name."

"Oh, Elizabeth. I like the sound of that."

"Then there was also Rebecca, though now that I look at you I don't feel like that would be the best name." She paused and tried to actually picture that girl having either of those names. Neither really fit, she didn't look like an Elizabeth or a Rebecca. "I have always loved the name Samantha as well." Again Janeway paused looking the child over a moment. Sam would be a cute nickname, she could be a Sam, or then again maybe not. "Maybe we should just find something we can call you until we get you a real name."

"Like Rowley?" The girl interrupted with a smile nearly making Janeway laugh.

"Oh no, that's the name of the dog. Rowley really wouldn't suit you, but you know what will, a name that won't change regardless so it doesn't matter if we call you by it now."

"What is that?" The girl tilted her head to the side and blinked a few times.

"Janeway, after all that is going to be your last name since Q doesn't have one."

The girl smiled, "Janeway? That's pretty. I like being Janeway."

"Captain I hate to break up your sentimental moment right now but our long rang sensors are picking up a ship." Paris turned around and spoke up before going back to the con.

A sense of dread hit the Captain as she stood up and made her voice hold more authority. "Give me a visual." She ordered, beside her young Janeway stood up and looked up at the screen then back to her mother. When the image flashed up before then she watched the look of confidence on her mothers face change to something else she hadn't witnessed yet. "Go to red alert." Kathryn ordered. They knew this type of ship well but what it was doing this far out here, now that was what concerned her all the more. "Vidiian, Mr Paris have they noticed us yet?"

"Sensors are not picking up any scans, they don't seem to be powering up weapons. I don't think they have noticed us yet captain."

"Good, then get us out of here before they do." She turned back to young Janeway with her hands on her hips. If the ship discovered them the Captain knew the last thing she wanted was for this still innocent little Q to be standing on the bridge and witnessing possible chaos. "Janeway, I'm going to have to tell you to wake up now. You can't be out here anymore."

"But I want to stay here with you mother." She cooed looking up at the captain with her big bright eyes.

"I'm not asking you, I'm telling you. I can't have you on the bridge right now, you'll only be a distraction and get in the way. You have to go back." Her tone became a little harsher, it was better to upset the child than make her stand on the bridge during a fight. The younger Janeway didn't even argue after that, with a flash of light the girl was gone. If only she had the means to fully remove her daughter from harms way. Resting her hand on her abdomen she let out a heavy sigh. It was because of situations like this that Janeway hadn't wanted a baby in the first place.

"Captain we are being scanned by the Vidiian ship. They know we are here." Paris called back. "They are powering up weapons."

"Raise shields, Paris get us out of here. If we play our cards right we can outrun them." Grabbing onto the railing in front of her she braced herself in the event something went wrong. "Lets hope they are feeling merciful today."
