Kathryn Had woken the next few mornings feeling drained and weak. The Fight with Chakotay lasted almost all night that night, and even though it was a few days ago she can still remember every word and how Edward was up crying for most of the fight and the dog had wet the carpet in front of the door. Chakotay had decided to sleep on the sofa in his office and Kathryn found herself waking up in Edward's room on the rocking chair. She looked to see if Edward was still sleeping put he wasn't in the room. She could hear Chakotay downstairs talking to him. She couldn't help but smile a little when she saw him playing with Edward.

"Good Morning Kathryn." Chakotay said with a cool voice

"Morning." Kathryn replied in an angry tone

She had already dressed in her Starfleet Admiral Uniform so she took a cup of coffee and left without saying a word. On her way to the transporters station she ran into Harry as he was heading home.

"Good morning Admiral."

"Good morning Harry, how are things?" Kathryn said with a cool voice

"Good Ma'am are you okay?" Asked Harry

"Just fine Harry had trouble with the dog. Not much sleep." She replied and forced a smile

She stepped onto the pad and was at her office within seconds. She walked up the stairs to enter the building and nodded at the officer who opened the door and walked right past a few cadets who stopped and smiled at her. She got into the Turbo lift with a few other Admirals and tried to keep busy so they wouldn't talk to her. It worked she was able to get off on her floor with out a word said. When she walked into her office her assistant smiled and handed her the schedule. Kathryn took the PADD and went right into her office and just sat at her desk reading the report that Harry gave her on her way in.

Beep Beep Boop.

Kathryn sighed "Come in"

"Sorry to bother you Admiral this just came for you." Said her assistant as she came in with two dozen Red and Pink Roses

"Oh they are beautiful Ensign put them on the coffee table." Kathryn said with a big grin on her face

The Ensign put them on the table and left the room. Kathryn got up from behind her desk and went over to the table to see if there was a card, sure enough the card was in the middle. Kathryn picked up the card and read it.

My dearest Kathryn,

I can't put in to words how much I love you and how much I wish we had not had that fight. I am sorry please forgive me.

Love

Chakotay

Kathryn put the card back inside the flowers and walked back over to her desk, she sat down and started to work on her notes for the meeting in the following week. An hour had past before she had realized that there was a message waiting for her.. "How the hell did I not hear that" She put down the PADD and pushed the button. Chakotay's face appeared on the screen. "Oh of course he would." Said Kathryn to herself.

"Kathryn I thought by leaving a message instead of talking to you would allow me more time to talk. Not that you never let me talk its just. Damn I just insulted you, I am sorry Kathryn. We need to work things out my love or we might end up hating each other or even worse getting a divorce. I would hate that so please contact me let me know you still care and want to keep this love of ours alive." His face disappeared and Kathryn just stared at the screen. She was trying to think of her next move when she said

"Computer open a channel to my house Chakotay's office." Chakotay's face appeared

"Kathryn. This is a nice surprise."

"Chakotay you should not have to apologize, it should be me. I was a little angry that we didn't talk about the idea of have another baby first and while the idea is nice I just don't think it would be right. At the moment anyway." She said as she pinched the bridge of her nose

"You are right Kathryn. Maybe we can talk about it to night. just talk I promise, we can decide if we want to have more and try to even cut the fighting out. We did enough of that when we were friends on Voyager."

Kathryn had just ended the transmission when the EMH walked in.

"Doctor what do I..Oh yay I forgot again sorry."

"No your not you always avoided me when we were stuck on Voyager and that was a small ship but you seem to enjoy doing that more here on Earth."

"Fine let's get it over with." Said Kathryn as she got up from behind her desk and stood in front of the desk allowing the doctor to scan her.

"Any pain or discomfort?"

"Nope."

"Hmm, getting enough sleep and eating properly?"

"Oh well I try to. Its hard with a young child and a young dog."

"I see, well your healthy and well on your way."

"Thank you Doctor I told you I am fine. Wait what did you say?"

"I said you are Healthy. What did you think I said? Should I retest your hearing?"

"No Doctor my hearing is fine; just have a lot on my mind."

"Alright but you need to take it easy, you shouldn't work to hard and should relax more. We don't need you to over work yourself."

"And what is that suppose to mean? I am not working to hard."

"Hmm Mood swings."

"Doctor that's not funny."

"Kathryn lets think about this when was the last time you were intimate with your

husband?"

"Now that is none of your business.---- Fine stop that look; it was a few weeks ago, why? And don't you dare say I am pregnant because I just might knock your head off with the type of week I have been having."

"Kathryn now I haven't said that you were."

"And you haven't and I'm not."

Kathryn put her hands on her hips and glared at the EMH.

"Stop that it will not work on me. Hologram remember."

"Doctor stop changing the subject. Are going to tell me what you are trying not to say? This is not time to beat around the bush. Just Say it!"

Ok so it will be a few days before I write the next chapter. Off recovery a few days from having my Wisdom teeth pulled.. But not to worry the next chapter will be a really good one full to the top of awesomeness.. (There we go "An. M" I was able to use that word you love)…
