[SIX MONTHS AFTER CHAPTER 7]
Kathryn walked into the bathroom and stared at her face. She was once again looking healthier than she had in a long time.
Three months ago Chakotay had moved into her quarters, right after their wedding.
She stared at the thin gold band that adorned her ring finger.
She had finally given herself to Chakotay completely.
Yet there was something missing.
She heard the doors to her quarters open and watched Chakotay saunter in. "Hey handsome."
Chakotay grinned as Kathryn approached him and let her lips touch his.
He took her hand and kissed the delicate fingers. Her hands rode up his chest and he felt himself responding to her touch. "What are you doing?"
Kathryn stared at him. "Finally letting you in I hope."
[THREE MONTHS AGO]
Kathryn watched the 'holy one' pronounce them husband and wife. She had to get over Edward's death.
They had finally named the son they had after her father. She smiled up and Chakotay. "Well we're finally legally husband and wife."
"I heard the crew booked us a nice 'honeymoon suite'."
Chakotay nodded "That's what I heard."
He took her hand and opened the door to the lavish suite that had been booked for them. "It is beautiful Kathryn, like my wife."
Kathryn blushed under the praise. "Let's see about that bed shall we? We have the crew on shore leave."
Kathryn nodded. They had not made love since before Edward was born. "Yes lets."
They made their way to the bed and stripped of the vestiges of their wedding day. He took her hand and laid her down slowly beginning to remove her undergarments.
She saw the tent in his underwear and knew that he was ready.
Once she was naked before him he pulled off his boxers and reached for her ample breasts. "I love you Kathryn."
She smiled and waited for him to worship her body. "I love you too my angry warrior."
"Not angry anymore, the warrior has found peace."
He pulled her nipple into his warm mouth and sucked beginning to ready her for the night they had ahead of them.
He licked his way over to the other one. "I wouldn't want one to get jealous."
She laughed and felt the moisture pooling between her legs. He brought his hand to her opening and felt the moisture below. "Well someone is ready."
He positioned himself above her as his mouth worshipped her breasts.
Kathryn all of a sudden got a look of fright in her eyes. Feeling him sucking at her breasts all of a sudden brought back the thought that right now she should have a baby that was getting nourishment from those very sensitive breasts.
She pushed him away. "Stop Chakotay."
Chakotay stared at her confused, "Isn't this what you want?"
The conflicted look in her eyes confused him. "What is wrong?"
She had tears pooling behind her eyelids. "What if we end up pregnant again?"
He smiled, "Then we'll have a baby."
She shook her head, "What if I end up losing this one as well? I can't handle another loss like that Chakotay."
"You won't lose another baby if you do end up pregnant."
She shook her head, "You can't promise me that and that's not a risk I'm sure I want to take."
[PRESENT]
Kathryn stared at him, "I want to give you what I couldn't on our wedding day."
He looked into her blue pools, "You're sure."
"I can't be afraid forever."
He deepened the kiss his hand moving under her shirt. "No bra? We're being brave today."
She laughed, "I need to be brave Chakotay. I need this and so do you."
Chakotay nodded and began worshipping her body. His hands traveled down below and pulled on the button of her slacks.
She allowed him that access and he slowly drew her shirt over her head staring at the perfection that was Kathryn Janeway.
She nodded her ascent as he pulled her underwear to the floor.
Once she was naked before him he allowed her to slowly disrobe him.
They made their way to the bedroom and the loving began.
They made love and felt complete the joining was finally all-inclusive; they had finally closed the chasm that had been keeping them apart.
The next morning the couple awoke refreshed. Kathryn stared at her husband. "I think we might have made a baby last night."
Chakotay grinned, "If not at least it was fun trying."
Kathryn laughed. "I certainly hope so. We spent a lot of time doing it, if it wasn't it would have been a waste."
They linked arms and headed for the bridge.
