Chelsea stood outside the house that her brother-in-law, Stephen was staying in for the time. The house was beautiful, and it was a place to raise a family in. Chelsea took a breath because Tom Paris and B'Elanna Torres did. Stephen's girlfriend, Selena, had grown up here. She only had called Tom Paris and B'Elanna Torres mom and dad. Selena knew her captain before she was put on his ship because Harry Kim was best friends with her parents. Chelsea could only image what stories she heard while growing up.
The front door opened, and Stephen and Selena came out with smiles on their faces. "Uncle Stephen," Chelsea watched as her daughters ran to their uncle. Chelsea watched as Stephen hugged them. She watched as Selena greeted them with a big smile.
James took her hand and led her over to his brother. James greeted his brother. Chelsea watched as the brothers started to talk. She looked at Selena and saw that she was rolling her eyes at them. Chelsea laughed.
Selena smiled before hugging Chelsea. "I'm glad you could make it."
"I wouldn't miss this for the world," Chelsea said.
Selena laughed. "They are just regular people," She laced her arm through Chelsea's. "Stephen, let's take your family to the backyard." Stephen turned to Selena with a bright smile. Chelsea could see that Stephen wasn't going to let Selena out of his life anything soon. Chelsea had a feeling that Selena was going to be her sister-in-law one day.
Selena led the way in the house. Chelsea got a good look at the house. It was a house that was well loved. She could see Selena growing up here. Selena took them through the living room to the kitchen. Chelsea could see a family room with a comfortable couch. She could see the family spending a lot of time there. Selena stepped through the back door and Chelsea followed her.
Chelsea took in all the noise. There were people all over the place. It wasn't just the Voyager crew but others here too. She saw children running around. She tried to make out the Voyager crew but couldn't unless Selena would start pointing them out.
"Come on, I'll introduce you to everyone," Selena smiled.
Chelsea, James, and Stephen and the girls followed Selena to the first group. Chelsea looked at the group and two of them looked like Selena's siblings and the others were a Bajoran woman and the other was a Klingon man. "These are my siblings and their spouses," Selena said. "This is my sister, Miral and her husband, D'stil," Chelsea saw the family resemblance between the sisters. D'stil greeted her in Klingon. Chelsea wondered how Miral Paris met her husband. He was young and Chelsea didn't know how many young Klingon lived here on Earth. "And this is my brother Xavier and his wife, Peata," Selena introduced the next couple. Chelsea saw that Selena and Xavier had the same color eyes. Peata was a beautiful woman and could wonder how she fell for Xavier Paris because Chelsea could see what a charmer he was. "This is Stephen's brother James and his sister-in-law, Chelsea. These two are Natalie and Kira," Selena looked down at the girls.
Miral looked at the girls before looking back at Chelsea. "How old are they?" She asked.
Chelsea looked at her girls. "Natalie is seven and Kira is four."
"Perfect. They will fit in with my children, my boys are around here somewhere, and they are five," Miral smiled down at the girls. "I would think that you would want to play with them instead of standing here with the grownups," Both of girls smiled. "Dremahk, D'jono," Miral called for her sons.
Chelsea watched as two young Klingon boys came running over. They stopped in front of their mother. "Yes, Mommy," Chelsea watched as Miral raised an eyebrow at them. Chelsea had a feeling that they were up to something, her own daughters gave her that look.
"I want you to meet Natalie and Kira," Miral pointed out the girls. "Can they play with you?" Miral asked.
The boys nodded and the four of them ran off. Chelsea turned to Miral. "I feel that they are going to find trouble."
"Probably," There was a mischievous smile on Miral's face. It made Chelsea wonder what Miral and her siblings got into.
"How much trouble did you get into?" Chelsea asked.
"Too much," Chelsea turned around and saw B'Elanna Torres carrying a newborn baby. She handed the baby to Miral. "I think she wants her mother."
Everyone watched as Miral walked into the house with the baby. Selena turned to her mom. "Mom, this is James and Chelsea," Selena pointed them out to her mother. "They are Stephen's brother and sister-in-law," B'Elanna turned towards them with a smile. "James, Chelsea this is my mom, B'Elanna Torres."
Chelsea had to take a breath because this was one of her idols. She heard B'Elanna Torres story and couldn't respect the woman more. She was Chief Engineer on Voyager and then came back to teach the next generation of engineers.
"Welcome to my home," B'Elanna held out a hand towards James.
James shook her hand. "Thank you for having us," He smiled.
B'Elanna glanced at her daughter and her boyfriend. "I have a feeling that we will be family before we know it," There was a sparkle in her eyes. James laughed. B'Elanna turned to Chelsea and smiled.
Chelsea took a breath before saying. "It is a pleasure being here."
"Selena told me that you were fan of Voyager," B'Elanna said.
Chelsea threw Selena a look. She also saw a smile on Xavier's face. "Yes, I saw your husband's holonovel and fell in love."
B'Elanna laughed. "Don't tell him that or it will just go to his head, and he will be impossible to live with."
"Who will be impossible to live with?" Tom Paris made his way to the group, carrying a baby.
"You, Dad," Xavier came and took the baby from Tom.
"Me, no way," Tom placed a hand over his heart.
B'Elanna smiled at her husband. "Yes, because we have a fan here," Chelsea saw the way that they were looking at each other. She could see that after all these years they still loved each other.
"Who?" Tom looked at the group of people.
Stephen stepped up. "My sister-in-law, Chelsea," Stephen pointed to her. "She saw your Voyager holonovel and became a big fan."
Tom turned to Chelsea. "Really, what one did you like more the historical one or the one where you are captain?"
Chelsea blushed. "I liked them both."
"Really?" Tom grinned. "Did you ever make it home in seven years?"
"No," Chelsea laughed. "But I'm sure you could tell me some stories."
"Oh, I could," Tom laced Chelsea's arm through his and led her way from the crowd.
Stephen turned to his brother. "I think that you lost your wife," He laughed.
James rolled his eyes at his brother. "Don't worry," B'Elanna patted him on the arm. "Tom will return her at the end of day."
"I'm not," James looked around and saw his wife talking with Tom Paris and Harry Kim. "She is living a dream of hers right now."
"Come on," B'Elanna smiled, "I'll introduce you around to the others here," B'Elanna turned to her children and their other half. "Your grandmother wants to see you," She pulled James away from the group. James heard moans coming from the others.
"Do they like their grandmother?" James leaned down and asked B'Elanna.
B'Elanna smiled. "Yes, she is going to question them about their lives."
James laughed before reaching a group of people with B'Elanna.
"How are you doing?" James sat next to his wife at one of the tables. The sun was setting.
"Great. I got to meet these people and couldn't be happier," Chelsea looked around the group had gotten smaller. It was mostly Tom and B'Elanna and their children and grandchildren and the Voyager crew. The Voyager crew was sitting around a table talking about their days on Voyager. Selena and her siblings were catching up with them living in different places. Chelsea saw her own daughters still playing with Miral's children.
"They said we can stay the night and leave after Stephen goes back to his ship," James said. Chelsea nodded. "Come on," He stood up and held out a hand for Chelsea. She took it and let him lead her to his brother and the others.
