Kathryn sat on the cave floor, Chakotay's arms around her.
"I missed you," she said.
"I missed you too. I can't wait to get back home, to the Alpha quardrent."
"You know your never leaving me again," Kathryn said.
"Oh I know." Chakotay was silent for a moment, "I though of Voyager a lot being in the Delta quadrant again. It was some of the worst and best time's of my life."
"It certainly had it's moments, when we weren't being hunted by a new species of alien." He laughed. "I also had Voyager on my mind, specifically our time together. You were always there for me and I don't know what I would do with out you." Kathryn said.
"I love you, I think you already know but I've wanted to tell you for some time." Chakotay said.
"I love you too." Chakotay ran his hand through her hair twirling it around his finger. She leaned foward and kissed him softly. He brought his other hand to rest on her face. They parted still leaning close to each other. Kathryn looked past him to the opening of the cave.
"I think the storm's letting up," Kathryn said. They stood up and walked to the mouth of the cave.
"Let's go find the rest of your crew," Kathryn said. She started to walk out of the cave. Chakotay grabbed her hand,
"Kathryn, I should tell you... There aren't many of us left."
"I'm sorry," said Kathryn she could see the pain in his eyes. "I know how painful it is to lose crew members." She put her other hand over his. They walked out of the cave,
"Do you know were your other crew members were staying."
"I know the main cave we were living in, but many of the crew probably had to find shelter during the storm." There came a sound over Kathryn's combadge. It was staticky at first.
"Commander Tyess to Admiral Janeway." Kathryn tapped her combadge.
"Janeway here."
"Before I say I told you say about the storm, are you okay?"
"I'm fine I took shelter in a cave."
"Now that I know your fine, I told you we would get caught in that storm-"
"That's enough, you were right."
"Is Kathryn Janeway going to admit she was wrong?" Chakotay said. She glared at him.
"Who was that?" Commander Tysess asked.
"It was Chakotay, I found him."
"That accounts for the last missing crew member."
"You found the others?" Chakotay asks.
"Yes, we're all waiting at the ship, we will beam you aboard as soon as the transports are back online." A moment later Commander Tysess contacted them again.
"Tsyess to Janeway."
"Janeway here."
"The transports are back online prepare to beam up. Tsyess out."
"Your first officer seems to care a lot about you," Chakotay said, "Should I be worried?" Kathryn smiled.
"Your always be number one in my heart."
