"You know that you're a distraction don't you. I'm meant to have left by now but instead I've got to change again!" Paige said getting out of her bed

"Paris to Paige"

"Go ahead Tom"

"I'm here and guess what you're not!"

"I'm on my way!" she turned to look and moved quickly so that Vorik couldn't pull her back on to the bed

"I see that there is no logic in you going for Lt Paris trial run" "Well if you get dressed ensign then you can come will me!" twenty minutes later they both entered the shuttle bay only to find that tom was in the delta flyer already "Right can we leave now, one more person for the trip" Tom said as he saw Vorik then looked at the ship as B'Elanna walked out! "Ah both had the same idea then" she said smiling "Yes we did" Tom and B'Elanna said together "Excuse me!" Paige said quickly before leaving, when she reached her quarters she emptied her stomach then cleaned herself up and headed back to the shuttle bay "Right come on else we'll be late" she said sitting in one of the seat. "Have a good flight Mr. Paris" the captain said over the com it took them half an hour to reach the planet when tom said "Are we at the right place!" "Yes, the trial runs start here," she said just as they got a hail "Ah Paige I see that you are flying this year, and your partner is doing the trial run then" Paige nodded "well dock and we will sort out a time for your partner to run!" he said as a space station de-clocked so they could land.

"PAIGE" some yelled while running through the crowd when they landed but before they knew it she was attacked by a female "You got your own ship? Can I have a look?" Paige said running towards the ship in question. "Oh my god" is all B'Elanna, Tom & Vorik could hear from Paige "That is a great ship!" she said returning as her friend left. "Ah you must be from Voyager." Someone said behind Tom "Yes that would be us!" "You're flying in an hour!" An hour later was the first time that the Vulcan pair could be together since B'Elanna went with Tom. Vorik was sat on a sofa when Paige came over and sat next to her Vulcan bond mate "Here" she said handing him a drink "So where we going to live?" she said knowing that he didn't want to move "My quarters are not as big as yours!" Vorik said looking at her, pulling her so she was lying on his lap "How long do you think it will take? Tom's trial flight?" "There isn't a time limit, but it's timed thou" he looked at her before kissing her "I've missed that!" she said before B'Elanna & Tom walked through the door "That was quick!" Paige said "We never left" Tom said sitting down looking at how the Vulcan pair were sat "What do you mean?" "I mean someone screwed the ship over" Paige stood up and left the room with three sets of eyes on her

"Hey, why the hell did you do it, worried that you'd lose again this year not even coming into the top five?" Paige said as she found Brennan "Look I'm not happy with a human in the race" he said as everyone saw the pair "Crap I remember you saying that when I first did a test flight, Oh and he will flight just now not in that ship" Paige said walking off.

She stormed back into her quarters only to find Vorik on the bed, her bed "what are you doing here!" "Well it seemed logical since we're bonded and B'Elanna and Tom wanted a room to their selves"

"So you invaded my room!" She said sitting next to him placing her head on his shoulder while he said "So you not making me sleep on the floor" "No, I'm not!" when they woke up the next day Paige ran to the bathroom while Vorik just sat up in bed confused by her rush for the bathroom. By ten Tom was ready to take off with B'Elanna as everyone else stood waiting with the rest of the ship once Tom returned he was told that his time was 1:40.

As everyone was talking to Tom and B'Elanna, Vorik whispered into Paige's ear "I hope that there is no sickness!" he said not knowing that there was some-one watching them. "No, its fine now must have been something I've eaten" he placed his over hers and gave it a squeeze "Crap" she said running out of the room.

After Paige had vomit and got cleaned up they all headed back to Voyager and were greeted by the Commander, Captain, and Tuvok. Tom, B'Elanna and Vorik stopped to talk to the senior officers Paige left and headed to the sickbay "Well, congratulations is in order" as Paige was sat on the Bio bed shocked to be told that she was over a month pregnant "Are you sure?" Paige said hoping that he had got a wrong reading! "It wasn't planned then?" "No, Can I go!" She said as Tom entered "Of course but I want to see you before the flight" she smiled at him and left heading to her quarters. She near enough fell over some boxes "Are you trying to kill me Vorik!" she said not knowing if he was her quarters "No I'm not trying at all,"

"Vorik I have something to tell you!" she said as he went back into their bedroom "I know that what I'm about to tell you came as a surprise as it will to you. Vorik I'm…" before she could finish the door went and Tuvok stood on the other side with a box Paige moved out of the way so he come into the room.

"Seven to Paige" her com badge went of two minutes later "go ahead seven"

"The captain would like you to be present at the monthly communication to Starfleet!"

"I'm on my way!" she said looking at Tuvok and Vorik.

When Paige entered the room they had already saw someone on the screen "Ah Admiral this is Paige and Paige this is Admiral Paris" "As in Tom Paris father! Good" she said smiling "She just smiled at me, never mind Paige your parents are here" showing a Vulcan female and a Romulan male who looked just like their daughter "Can we be alone with her" the female said before every one left then the female said "How far are you gone?" she asked as her father just looked at her! "About a month" Paige replied "So who's the father?" her mother asked "He's one of the only Vulcan's on board and yes we are together" the three of them chatted for another few minutes before the captain walked back in.

when Paige left the room she headed for the mess hall to find Neelix cooking "Evening Paige" "Evening" twenty minute later Paige left carrying cookies, when she returned she found Vorik sat with a PADD "Hey" she said sitting next to him and kissing his cheek "You went to get cookies!" Vorik said raising an eyebrow "No, I went to talk to my parents. Wow that sounds weird calling them that, and then I got cookies." She said placing the cookies on the table as Vorik finished his report "So what did you want to say earlier?" she looked at him strangely "Oh yeah, that!" she said sitting down "sit down you'll want to after this!" when he sat down she continued "you know how we thought that I had eaten something that didn't agree with me!" Vorik nodded "Well it's not food poising! I'm pregnant" she said looking at him waiting for him to say something "Are you sure?" he said Paige nodded "He checked twice, but we are" she said with a sigh as Vorik sat next to her and hugged her.

Ten the next morning Paige woke up and entered her bathroom and had a shower she saw Vorik up and waiting to go into the bathroom "morning" she said kissing him "No morning sickness today" "lucky enough I don't, do you want something to eat?" she asked as the door went and Captain Janeway was behind it when Paige answered the door "Captain what can I do for you?" she asked "Came to tell you that the race starts in two hours" "Ok, I take it that Tom knows. I'll get changed and meet him in the shuttle bay!" when Vorik exited the bathroom he saw Paige dressed and about to leave "Hey the race starts in 2 hours so I've got to meet Tom and go" Paige smiled before leaving Vorik on his own to think about what she had told him. "Vorik to Tuvok" "Tuvok here" "I have something to talk to you about"

"Morning Tom" Paige said walking into the shuttle "Paige, I've done the checks and everything is good and we are ready to leave!" once they had left Voyager Tom said "Oh Docs asked me to keep an eye on you!" "Right ok then!" they arrived at the starting point with the other flyers once every one was announced the race started "Right once we are in the lead rellik will always do something to the ship ok so watch out!" Paige said Tom looked at her as if to say yeah right. As they reached the check point they were in second place to avoid any trouble on the first day "Why have we stayed in second all day?" he said as they landed "because we don't need to be just yet, Tom trust me tomorrow we'll have the lead ok!" "Yeah ok then."

"Ensign Vorik, you have something you wish to talk about" Tuvok said taking a seat in the mess hall "She's pregnant" Tuvok raised an eye brow "I see.

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY YA
