Kathryn had not been awakened yet, and Chakotay feared for when she did what would happen.
The Doctor had told him it was only a matter of time she had finally cycled into a regular R.E.M. pattern.
He worried for her when she found out their son was gone.
For someone who had started off not sure she wanted the child, she had grown to love him and cherish him.
He only hoped when she awoke that she would continue to love and cherish him, and come to love and cherish any other children they would have.
[BRIDGE]
Tuvok looked at the readings coming to the conclusion that they had found Kellin, "Tuvok to Commander Chakotay. We found her."
"Acknowledged, I'll be right there."
Ten minutes later Chakotay showed up on the bridge. "Where is she?"
Tuvok took in a deep breath, "She is outside sickbay."
Chakotay turned to Tuvok, "Did you discover a way to de-cloak her?"
Tuvok nodded, "Affirmative Commander, we can do it on your command."
Chakotay nodded and headed for the turbo-lift, "I'm heading for sickbay."
Tuvok acknowledged the statement and began, 'tracing' Kellin.
[SICKBAY]
The Doctor watched Kathryn beginning to come out of her stupor. She moaned and shot right up hand flying to her belly. "The baby!"
The Doctor slowly approached her. "I'm sorry Captain."
"Doctor to Chakotay."
"Chakotay here."
"Can you come down to sickbay? The Captain has regained consciousness."
"I'm heading that way right now Doctor."
"We'll be waiting."
[CORRIDOR OUTSIDE SICKBAY]
Chakotay made it to the corridor, and hit his combadge calling out to Tuvok. "Tuvok, make her show her face."
"Initiating now Commander."
Kellin appeared before him with a surprised look on her face. "Chakotay!"
Chakotay stared at her with loathing, "I have nothing to say to you."
"Chakotay I had to do what I did. 'Protocals' that is something that you understand."
She glared at him. "Is that bitch and your bastard child gone? That would make this takeover so much easier."
He stared at her, "Well Kathryn is alive and well, and will take you out. Now that we can detect you and your ships there's no more games that you can win."
"Well I did away with your son, now we can be together."
Chakotay scoffed and walked away from her. "You could never hold a candle to Kathryn Janeway."
And he walked away.
[SICKBAY]
Chakotay walked into sickbay and saw Kathryn sitting there. She looked lost.
Her most cherished and special gift and been forever vanquished.
He sighed, he had to somehow make this right.
"Kathryn, everything will be okay. I have to take care of something and I will be right back."
Kathryn nodded looking as if she had not really heard a word he said.
The woman in front of him was not the Kathryn Janeway he had learned to love and cherish over the years.
She had been replaced by a shell of a woman.
They would make it work, and it was on days like today he wished that there was a counsellor on the ship.
[BRIG]
Chakotay walked into the brig.
He stared at the ensign that was manning the area. "You're dismissed crewman."
The ensign nodded and there was just Chakotay and Kellin there.
"Computer, privacy lock Chakotay-zeta-one."
The computer in its metallic and methodical voice chimed, "Acknowledged."
Chakotay hit the buttons that allowed him to enter the cell where Kellin was being held.
"So Chakotay you finally came to your senses did you? I see that Kathryn isn't here."
Chakotay was livid. "She almost died, our son did die, and you have nothing to say aside from your Captain isn't here?"
Kellin chuckled. "It will be so much easier with her out of the way."
Chakotay brought down the force-field and walked into the cell. "You have no idea, do you?"
Kellin looked at him, "No idea about what?"
"The moment that this happened both Kathryn's and I's command codes were changed. You have nothing to gain so what is your deal?"
She stared at Chakotay. "Don't you get it? You and I we could run this ship and then make money. You used to be a mercenary, don't tell me you forget what the rush feels like." Kellin's lips approached Chakotay's, "We could do so much better than your Captain did for this crew."
Chakotay stared at Kellin, completely disgusted. "No one could ever do better than Kathryn did. She is the best Captain that I have ever had the pleasure of working with."
Kellin scoffed, "You're just saying that cause you're sleeping with her. I hope she's better in the sack then she is at Captaining."
Chakotay's large hand went up and squeezed the life out of Kellin. "I hope that unfathomable riches were worth it in the end.
He heard her gasping for breath and tightened his grip. This woman had tried to ruin everything. He pulled his hand away before he finished the deed and let the air fill her lungs once again. "We have found the tracer that was chasing you and we're going to hand you over the first chance we get."
He shook his head, "We can find you now, so stay away from Voyager and we have no problems with your people."
He walked out of the brig and headed for the Bridge, in Kathryn's absence he had to keep things running smoothly.
He sat down in the Command chair and turned to Tuvok. "As soon as you get in contact with those 'Tracers' get rid of her. She is their reasonability now."
Tuvok nodded.
"I'll be in sickbay."
And he walked off the bridge.
Hopefully Kathryn would survive this little tradgedy.
