[DIRECTLY AFTER PART 10]

 

Kathryn trounced out of sickbay. She knew she had to meet Chakotay things were finally going better for the two of them and Chakotay had just proposed.

 

She'd said yes. Then she went to the Doctor for a checkup and had gotten surprised yet again by being told that they were going to be parents to twins in about seven months.

 

She sighed and went back to her quarters. She brought with her the bassinette that had been placed in storage in case it was ever needed again by her or any other crewman.

 

Kathryn sighed she honestly hadn't thought it would be her that needed it. She was the Captain she was 43 years old for god's sake. She had lost a baby not six months ago and her she was going through it all again.

 

This baby had to be fine – or rather these babies. She sighed and messaged the Doctor to have the second bassinette beamed to her quarters.

 

She paused; she had not even asked the sexes of the babies.

 

"Chakotay to Janeway."

 

She had forgot she was supposed to meet Chakotay in the mess hall. "Janeway here."

 

"You were supposed to meet me in the mess hall for dinner."

 

She shook her head. Damn. I need to get him to my quarters. "Chakotay something came up can you meet me in my quarters? I'll replicate dinner."

 

She heard a pause over the line and then, "I'll be right there. I guess a Captain's work is never done."

 

If only you knew. She thought and then went to rearranging the living space so the bassinettes were not obviously visible but weren't hidden either.

 

She went to the replicator and ordered vegetable lasagna and heard the beep stating that it was ready. She pulled the food out of the replicator and set it on the table to get ready for her fiancé to get there.

 

She heard the door chime and went to answer it. The door opened and Chakotay sauntered in with flowers for her. "I wasn't in the mess hall I was in the airponics bay getting flowers for you."

 

She smiled and brought him over to sit down at the table where supper was served. "I thought you couldn't cook?"

 

She laughed, "I can't but I can sometimes get the replicator to agree with me."

 

Chakotay came to sit down at the table and looked across and saw the bassinettes. "Please tell me that you're not still worked up about losing Edward?" She drew in a deep breath, "I thought that we got it out of your quarters and into storage."

 

Kathryn drew in a deep breath. "We did but I went and got it today out of storage." She stared at him, "I think its time you move into my quarters."

 

Chakotay shook his head and stared at the place where the bassinette was sitting and just noticed that there was a second one. "Why are there two Kathryn? And why are they back in your quarters?"

 

She tilted her head, "Well they're back in my quarters because I'm going to need them in seven months, and there are two because I didn't want to put them both in the same bassinette."

 

Chakotay's jaw dropped open. "You're pregnant?"

 

Kathryn nodded and felt Chakotay lift her up in the air. "I love you Kathryn." He stared at his future wife. "And this time we did it right."
