Taya felt strange, she tried to open her eyes but had to close them again as a harsh blinding light hit her eyes.
"Am I dead?" Taya asked simply
"I should hope not after that amazing medical miracle surgery I just performed"
"Doctor?"
"The one and only, computer dim lights to 25% and drop force field"
Taya opened her eyes just in time to see a woman in a red Starfleet uniform lean over and hug her hard
"Oh my God Taya we thought we had lost you"
"Mum" it took a few moments for it to sink in "Mummy" Taya threw her arms around her mother
"Oh Taya, Oh Taya"
"Kathryn give her some room to breath"
Kathryn reluctantly let go of her daughter, Chakotay took her place
"My little princess"
"Daddy" She hugged him tight
"What happened?" Taya asked as her father stood up
"Maybe you would like to tell us" the doctor called over to her
"What?"
"I would like to know how you got all the injuries"
"Injuries?"
"Your left leg was badly bruised, both legs were broken, both ankles and feet were broken, a few broken toes, both elbows were broken, both arms and wrists were broken, both hands and a few fingers were broken, many open cuts, internal bleeding, a few broken ribs and the bottom of your spine was broken, Care to tell me how you did all that?"
"I got some of them fighting with guards and a few in the wood but I don't remember breaking my spine or my arms"
"Mr Kim thinks you were in a free fall before we beamed you back, you may have hit the ground before we transported you"
"Yes" Taya remembered "I fell out of the tree"
"What were you doing in a tree" Chakotay asked
"It's a long story, I was hiding form a guard but he heard me and fired a phaser at me"
"Taya" Kathryn held her hand, Taya smiled for a second
"I tried to dodge it but I fell backwards out of the tree" Chakotay held her other hand "The last thing I remember was pain, a lot of pain"
"Taya " Her mother hugged her again
Taya noticed something, Her mother was leaning over her legs so she could hug her but Taya couldn't feel it
"Doctor, why can I feel my legs?"
Kathryn got up, Chakotay, Kathryn and Taya looked worried
"Taya" the doctor looked a little sad "There are some things I cant fix at the click of my fingers, your back is one of them"
"You mean I wont feel my legs ever again" Taya felt weak
"No, The reason you cant feel your legs is because of the medication I am giving you to heal your spine"
All three looked relieved
"I will be giving you this treatment for just under a month"
"How will I get around the ship?"
"You will have to use a wheelchair"
"Cant she use a hover chair?"
"Hover chairs produce a slight amount of radiation, that radiation no mater how slight could interfere with the treatment"
"It is better then nothing at all" Chakotay added trying to keep everyone looking on the bright side
"But even when your treatment is finished you wont be able to walk strait away, your muscles will be weak and so will your back you will have to relearn to walk"
Taya nodded
"Am I free to leave sickbay?"
The doctor gave an exasperated sigh
"Trust a Janeway to ask that!" He looked at his tricorder "Yes you are free to leave sickbay, how you will get out is another matter"
"I'll carry you" Chakotay walked over and carefully lifted his daughter up
"Fine but make sure that she eats and sleeps"
"Aye aye doctor" Taya gave a mock salute as she passed him, both Kathryn and Chakotay laughed, she may have lost some weight but she certainly hadn't lost her sense of humour.
"Captain" the doctor called after them
"Yes?"
"May I ask what you did with out alien 'Guest'?"
"I had Harry to beam him back to the planet, why did you want to know"
"I just wanted to know if he was still onboard"
"No he's not, Goodnight Doctor"
"Goodnight"
Chakotay carried Taya back to the Chakotay-Janeway quarters, They didn't pass any other crew members on the way. Once they were back Chakotay lay Taya down on the sofa
"What do you want to eat" Kathryn asked
"Nothing , I'm not hungry"
"You need to eat something Taya" Chakotay said sitting on the floor next to her
"To tell you the truth, I just want to sleep"
Kathryn walked in to Taya's room
"Chakotay bring her in here"
Chakotay got up off the floor and picked her up, he carried her in to her room and lay her on her bed. Kathryn walked over to him and whispered
"Chakotay, Go get her some milk and cookies, that normally makes her sleepy"
Chakotay walked out and over to the replicator
"A jug of warm milk, three glasses and a plate of cookies"
"Specify how may cookies"
"Twelve"
"Specify cookies, plain cookies, sugar cookies, butter cookies, white chocolate cookies, dark chocolate …"
"Chocolate chip cookies"
They materialized, Chakotay picked them up and walked back in to Taya's room. Taya was now in her blue night dress instead of the medical gown
"Milk and cookies?"
"Yes please, but can I get in bed first?"
"Sure"
Chakotay put the tray on the side then lifted Taya up, Kathryn moved the bed covers, Chakotay put Taya down then sat her up and pulled the covers up over her legs. Kathryn poured out some milk for Taya and offered her some cookies. By the time Taya was finished she was laying down and almost asleep, Kathryn could see something was wrong.
"What's the matter Taya?"
"Nothing it's just I … I'm scared" Tears formed in her eyes
Chakotay sat on the bed and hugged her
"shhh … shhh …shhh no crying now your home your safe"
Taya nodded, Chakotay let her go and Kathryn wiped the tears away from her face
"There is no need to be scared we're here to keep you safe"
"Do you want us to stay with you till you fall asleep"
Taya nodded
"Will you sing my song please?"
Kathryn and Chakotay smiled and both began to sing
"When the moon comes up to shine upon her face
The Ensigns are fast asleep
The Lieutenants stand at every post
The Captain leaves her keep
We join our hands and sing this song
In hope that you will hear
On our quest back to earth
The Voyager crew come near
The Voyager crew come near"
Taya gave a sleepy smile
"Thank you" she whispered then she fell asleep
Her parents both smiled again
"Goodnight princess" Chakotay kissed her forehead
"Sweet dreams baby" Kathryn kissed her as well
"Come on lets get some sleep we all have a long day tomorrow"
Kathryn went with Chakotay happy again.
I didn't kill her :)
Sorry i haven't given her rescue from the ships point of view
