Disclaimer: Look back to the first chapter.
Author's Note: I'm sorry for the delay, Spring Break came up and I was hella busy having loads of fun, and cursing the demon called School. Thanks for my very first reviews guys, I 'preciate it. Gah! I forget to say that this story occurs mid 3rd Season after the episode The Q and the Grey.
Rewind
Chapter 2
"What? What do you mean you want to get me what I want?" Kathryn said indignant.
"I want to make you happy Kathy, you want a child, I'll give you a child. Do you want Junior?"
Kathryn scoffed at Q's ridiculous question.
"You want to give your son to me? Are you insane?"
Q threw his head back and laughed.
"Of course not! I would never give over the care of my child to an evolutionary disappointment, such as the humans…Well anyway I want to offer you the chance to have a child of your own, but I can't give you a husband. I just couldn't bear the thought of you having another man in your life besides me."
Kathryn rolled her eyes, placed her hands on her hips ready to hear Q's proposition. She knew she couldn't fight not to hear what Q had to say, she knew that he would find a way for her to hear it anyway.
"You might want to sit down; I don't think that your small human mind will be able to grasp what I tell you if you're too preoccupied with standing."
Kathryn rolled her eyes again, sat back down and raised her eyebrow in curiosity. Q paced for a few more seconds in front of her desk and then began.
"Now, the way I'm going to change your life is...are you ready to hear this? You've cleared your mind right?"
"Yes Q," Kathryn said in exasperation.
"Well what I'm going to do is make a little change to the timeline. All I need to do is make a little change here, cut out a few events there and before you know it you'll wake up with a little rugrat of your own." Q explained.
"What about Voyager Q?"
"Oh you'll still be Captain of Voyager, but instead of being here alone your child will be here with you. So how about I get started on making you a happy woman!"
"Q! Wait there is no way a child could have gotten on this ship if we were going to the badlands. How are you going to fix that huge detail?"
"Don't worry Kathy, I have it all under control, now turn around for a moment."
"What?"
"Turn around."
Kathryn rolled her eyes again and turned around.
"Okay turn back around." Q called to her and disappeared.
Kathryn turned around; ready to see what Q had concocted for her, but to her surprise she wasn't in her ready room anymore, but standing a few feet outside of Sick Bay.
"Oh, no." Kathryn exclaimed as the doors to Sick Bay opened.
"Mom!" a female voice called out from behind her.
Kathryn quickly turned around; her eyes became large with shock that quickly narrowed with anger for Q's betrayal. He had changed the timeline like he promised, but left her without something she truly needed to make it through her new life: Memories that belonged with the new timeline.
