Their crew revisit their Captain and Commander. =/\= Janeway is asleep in her bed her husband Chakotay is up with the youngest child Alishya Faith who is two. Their other child Joshua Dylan is at school he is eight years old. They are both proud of their children. *** Chakotay is chasing Alishya around his Victorian home. She looks like her mother strawberry blond hair and beautiful blue eyes. With her mothers's added light complection. "Daddy, Daddy! lets play horsey. Please! "Of course, when we are done you can go and wake mommy up." 'K' daddy" Janeway came from their bedroom she pulls her robe over her shoulders. Chakotay sees her. "Oh I'm sorry, did we wake you up honey?" "Not really besides I need to make lunch for Alishya and you. I needed to get up." "Mommy daddy was playing horsey with me did you see?" Janeway nods and takes Alishya into her arms. "Yes, I did." "Honey, when will our guests arrive?" "B'Elanna, Paris, and their children will be here in about an hour to help me out. Kim and Seven with their children will be here shortly after four as well as the Wildman's. Neelix and Tuvok couldn't make it but they send their regards." "Well then why don't you get dressed and I will get Alishya her lunch." "Okay, I'll be back in a half hour. Are you sure you can do it?" "Sure, go on we'll be fine." A half hour later Janeway is showered and dressed. She put on a tan business suit and a long white shirt. She has the sides of her long hair pinned up with diamond clips. A gift she got from Chakotay when they married 5 years ago." "Well don't you look beautiful." Janeway strokes her jacket then hair. "Thanks, and you don't look half bac yourself." "Thanks, well I gave Alishya her lunch and put her in a new dress she's sleeping now." "That's good she'll be rested for when B'Elanna and Paris come over with their children, they can play while we get things ready." "Can you believe that its been ten years." "No, I can't Chakotay, and we are finally going to see our senior officers again." "Yeah, its been so long, we kept in contact but you know how it is." "Yes, not as much as we wanted to keep inn touch." Chakotay takes her in his arms and gives him a morning kiss. A little less than an hour later the Paris' arrive. Alishya is up and the Paris' have come inside. B’Elanna gives Janeway a hug. "oh B’Elanna its so good to see you." B’ELANNA smiles and they break apart. She looks down to Janeway's stomach and places her hand across it. "I see you've been busy, when's the baby due?" "Three mouths, and I see you have been busy as well." She places her hand on B’Elanna's stomach "When is your's due?" " Three and a half months, but I bet it will come sooner the baby is always moving." "I know what you mean, this little one hasn't stopped moving. Maybe they'll be born at the same time." "That would be quite the event." Paris and Chakotay go into the next room while Alishya, Chelsea, and Jonathan play outside. Janeway and B’Elanna sit. "So how have you been?" "Fine, well sort of, my first trimester was pretty rough." "You mean the morning sickness?" Janeway smiles and laughs "That and the fatigue." B’Elanna smiles "Mine was pretty rough as well but Tom was really helpful. I must have been sick all day Tom assisted me and did everything to make it easier." "Chakotay helped me out a lot too. I was like you sick all day long. Sometimes I was so cruel I'm surprised he didn't leave me." "I was so happy when I found out I was pregnant just couldn't wait to tell Tom." "Same here but Chakotay." "How did you tell Chakotay? I mean that you were pregnant?" Janeway moves her hand down to her stomach "Well, I suspected I was pregnant when I started to feel over tired. I waited a week and then I missed my cycle so my suspicious were checked. A little while later the test came back positive." "So how did you tell Chakotay?" "We found out on Christmas Eve, I wrapped up a bag of diapers and a few baby clothes and gave it to him. He tried to guess it but he was way off. When he opened it he didn't say anything at first but then he finally got a clue he was so happy it was a wonderful Christmas. Now how did you tell Tom?" "Well we didn't find out until New Year's Eve. Tom took me out to celebrate. It was really romantic. I didn't know I was even pregnant or could possibly be yet. My cycles as I told you before were irregular. I wouldn't know if I were pregnant or not. I went into the Doctor for an annual checkup and as you know they always take a pregnancy test. I begged her to tell me the results that night." She placed her hand on her stomach and sighs. "I thought for a while and thought maybe I could be pregnant so I didn't have a drink all night. I was so afraid that I could do something to hurt my baby. I am surprised Tom didn't suspect something was up. You know Tom." Janeway smiles "I do that, he was a good crew member but clueless when it came to knowing what was up." "Yeah, I know, anyway I got the call at 11:55PM and the Doctor said my test was positive I waited until midnight to tell Tom. After the New Year's kiss I told him he needed to add a new bedroom because a new baby was on its way, and it was going to have a special relationship with its father.. He was so excited he went right home and started to design the new nursery." "Then we're going to be mother's together." Janeway and B’ELANNA gasp in unison "It moved!" Both exclaimed and laugh these two babies defiantly are going to be close to one another. Later that night the rest of the past crew come and the children are all playing outside together. Kim and Seven have two children, Arianna Brooke who is two, blond hair and bright blue eyes like her mother and Caelen Derric who is five, he is much like his father dark black hair and brown eyes. In Janeway's eyes SEVEN had become a wonderful mother. "Hello Kathryn, it is nice to see you again, may I ask how are you?" "Pregnant, but fine thank you." "I must say it has you glowing." "Thank you Harry, and B'Elanna is pregnant as well our babies are due two weeks from each other." "Well, congratulations to both of you." "Thank you" They both say in unison "And you've turned out to be an exceptional mother Seven." "Thank you B'Elanna, I had a very good teacher." Janeway smiles As the party continues Naomi Wildman comes up to Janeway. Naomi is now a stunning 24 year old woman. "Hello Kathryn, it is nice to see you again." "It's nice to see you to Naomi. You've grown so much." "I've been great, top of my class at Starfleet Academy" "Any rough classes?" “Nah I learned a lot on VOYAGER.” “Well I’m glad you learned something while you were there.” “It’s nice to see you again Naomi.” “The feelings are mutual.” Janeway smiled as the first child born on VOYAGER turned away. She wasn’t a child anymore she was a woman. THE END!
