I should Kill Him part 3
B'Elanna slid her hand along Kathryn's cheek moving towards the back of her head.
"I didn't mean to hurt you before."
Kathryn nodded her understanding.
"You think he broke it?"
Kathryn looked at her eyes wide nodding. B'Elanna shook her head and placed a small kiss on Kathryn's lips.
"Captain, Lieutenant the Doctor and I would like to examine you both."
B'Elanna looked over at Kathryn scared. Kathryn placed a reassuring hand on B'Elanna's cheek, leaning forward to place another light kiss on her lips. She slid off the bed B'Elanna was sitting on and moved to the other side of the sickbay. Seven stepped closer to B'Elanna.
"I assume you and Lieutenant Paris are no longer a couple."
"Yes Seven that's correct."
Seven passed the tricorder over B'Elanna not seeing anything abnormal on her scans.
"Your scans appear normal. What are your complaints?"
B'Elanna reluctantly looked up and was about to answer went Kathryn's scream interrupted them. Both women moved to where Kathryn and the Doctor were.
"Captain?"
"Kathryn what happened?"
They came up to them as Kathryn swung at the Doctor. B'Elanna pulled Kathryn to her.
"Kathryn what happened."
She groaned and grabbed B'Elanna's jaw between two fingers and pointed at the doctor.
"Oh honey. Doc her jaw is broken."
The tears where falling down Kathryn's face from the pain. The Doctor moved beside them with an instrument to heal the break and a hypospray filled with a pain killer. He pressed the hypospray to her neck and waited for a moment for the medicine to kick in.
"Seven can you please finish the examination the Lieutenant."
Seven and B'Elanna went back to the bio bed and B'Elanna wasn't sure she could talk to Seven about what happened.
"You were going to explain what is wrong with you as well Lieutenant."
"I. . .Um. . . Seven I don't think I can do this right now."
B'Elanna pulled her knees to her and resting her head on them. A few moments later Kathryn was at B'Elanna's side rubbing her back.
"B'Ella you need to tell them what happened so the doctor can fix any damage he may have done."
"Any kind of damage who would have done?"
The doctor was getting impatient.
"Kathryn please don't make me do this right now I can't."
She buried her face in Kathryn's neck and cried.
"Can you two excuse us a minute."
Seven and the Doctor went into his office to give the two women some privacy. Kathryn sat on the bed wrapping her arms around the Klingon.
"Darling you have to tell him. If Tom did any kind of physical damage to you. . ."
"I don't want him to touch me. Please, please take me home."
Her cries were unbearable. Kathryn felt her heart breaking. She placed a light kiss on the young woman's head.
"Ok. Calm down first ok. You know Tuvok is going to have to talk to you?"
"I know. I just wanna sleep."
Kathryn placed her hands on B'Elanna's face wiping her tears away. She placed a gentle kiss to her lips.
"I'm going to talk to the doctor then we'll go."
B'Elanna nodded and watched Kathryn walk into the doctor's office.
"Doctor. I am going to take her to her quarters. She can't do this right now."
"What happened Captain? I have never seen B'Elanna like this."
"Nor have I." Seven commented.
"It isn't my place to say. I will have her come and talk to you in the morning. She needs to sleep."
The doctor nodded and Kathryn walked back to the bio bed.
"Come on sweetheart."
She opened her arms to the brunette and walked with her arm wrapped around her the whole way. Getting to B'Elanna's quarters the young woman froze.
"B'Elanna what is it?"
"I can't stay here."
Kathryn stood infront of her rubbing her hands up and down her arms.
"B'Elanna. . ."
"Can I stay with you please?"
"B'Elanna I. . ."
"Kathryn please I don't wanna be alone and I don't wanna be here."
The younger woman started shaking. It scared to see the young woman like this. To see how something could take a strong willed resilient woman and reduce her to a trembling bundle of frayed nerves.
"Ok. I will go in with you and we will get some of your things and we will go back to my quarters just please try and stop crying."
B'Elanna nodded. They went in and grabbed some cloths and other things and started toward the turbolift. Once at Kathryn's quarters they put B'Elanna's things down and they sat together for awhile. Eventually they ended up lying on the couch Kathryn holding the younger woman letting her cry. She hadn't realized she had been crying as well until B'Elanna whipped her tears off her cheek. Kathryn looked deep into the soulful brown eyes and she just wanted to take the hurt and pain away. B'Elanna put her head down on Kathryn's chest and wrapped her arms around her waist. Kathryn started rubbing her hand lightly up and down B'Elanna's back while the other played with her hair. Within moments B'Elanna was asleep and Kathryn could wake her so she sat back a fell asleep as well, holding the woman she loved so dearly.
