This is happier than the last I promise.
Kathyrn Started the reciting just as she had done many times before but this time she could not help but feel the lump form in her throat. She was determined not to give into temptation and rip that smile of AliÕs face and slap Chakotay senseless. After all this was her fault. She did push him away and she did refuse him several times when he wanted to make their relationship more permanent. 'Do you Alisandra Campbell take Chakotay to be you lawfully wedded husband to have and to hold till death do you part?Ó It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop therefore no one missed it when someone whispered ÒIÕm Sorry i canÕt.Ó Kathryn turned to Chakotay and saw the dawning on his face. He knew this was about to get ugly. "I said I can't no make that I won't! How in the world did you expect me to stand up here and be a part of this... this mockery! How could you Chakotay!Ó "What! What do you mean you can't?" "I mean it, Look at you She is young enough to be your daughter and it does not bother you to know that even Tom Paris has closed the books on you marriage lasting longer than me on a coffee shortage!" "Kathryn I think this should be finished somewhere less public.Ó looking around he noticed not one person dared move everyone was leaning to hear what next the Command team would say to one another. "No! We finish this here and now."
"Fine if that is the way you want it. Tell me something Kathryn, What bothers you the most: the fact that she is younger than me and you by the way, or the fact that some one had the balls to stand up against her pride and let herself feel emotions like a human and to express those emotions and to admit them openly!" Kathryn's face had now gone under several degrees of red and now she was just fuming. how dare he talk to her like that, she was his captain and by damn she would remind him of it. "You are out of line commander perhaps a stint in the...Ó "OH no you donÕt. not a single person in this room will let you get away with it. Face it you blocked yourself in this time by refusing to back down, now you stand and face the consequences like the human under the captains mask." "Tuvok please escort...."
"I must inform you captain that I am unable to do that at his moment it would be... illogical." "See now maybe you and I can finally reach an agreement.Ó "The only agreement I want to see is you..." "Now now Captain is that anyway to talk to the man you love.Ó "Who said I love you? I never once said that." "No, Then why did you stop my wedding, you already said it was not because of our age and you and everyone here knows there is no regulation against our marriage." "I.. I Oh god Chakotay I.."
He reach up and grabbed her arms pulling her into his embrace. Not before he noticed his soon to be jilted bride hugging tightly in the arms of Alaya and the rest of the crew quietly leaving to give them more privacy. Her tears soaked his jacket but neither seemed to mind. They had realized something important that day. They knew that no matter what else happens they were meant to be together. "Chakotay... I .. I am so sorry I .." "Shush.... It's okay now." "No it isn't I... you were right. I do Love you but I was afraid. I am so use to being the captain i forgot how to be just Kathryn.Ó "I Love you too. But Kathryn, Promise me one thing."
"Anything."
"At my next wedding please just say I do."
"I do. And Chakotay, I promise I will."
