OK, guys, a story that takes place just after Before and After!
I loved that episode! 

AFTER BEFORE AND AFTER
By: Lauren Taylor

        B'Elanna died. That was all that had been going through Tom's
mind ever since he forced the future from Kes. He never wanted the times
that she saw to ever happen. That's why he called B'Elanna to meet him in
the mess hall. He had to tell her how he felt about her, so, that if what
Kes saw came true, at least B'Elanna would know how he felt. Tom was at a
table in the corner of the mess hall, not noticing anyone else that came
in. He was about twenty minutes early to meet B'Elanna, and was getting
impatient waiting.
        Ten minutes later, she came walking in. He perked up when he saw
her, and waved his arm in the air, so she could find him in the crowded
mess hall.
"I hope you don't mind that I'm early." she apologized.
"Actually, I'm happy that you are. I need to talk to you about something.
Kes told me everything she saw." he took her hand across the table.
"I thought you wanted some mystery in your life." she grinned.
"OK, so I lied. I could tell that something big happened to me by the way
she acted around me, so I forced her to tell me." he grinned,
unconvincingly.
"Is something wrong with what she said?" B'Elanna asked him, worried
about what he heard.
"Everything. B'Elanna, I don't want you to die, I don't want to marry
Kes, and I do not want Harry to be my son-in-law!" he exclaimed, as he
tightened his grasp on her hand.
"Tom, what are you talking about?" she asked him, bewildered.
"Everything that Kes told me. In about six months, you and I are dating,
and the ship is attacked by some alien ship. You and Captain Janeway are
killed in the attack. B'Elanna, I don't want that to ever happen." he
told her as he looked deep into her eyes.
        B'Elanna sat motionless for a moment, in shock over what she had
just found out. What amazed her the most is that she was more in shock
over that fact that her and Tom were dating. She couldn't believe that
she was actually going to give in to him.
"Well, now that I know that, it's almost certain that it won't happen."
she gave him a reassuring smile.
"B'Elanna, I wouldn't mind one of those things happening." he grinned at
her.
"You know what, I wouldn't either. Join me on the holodeck?" she asked
him.
        He stood up, and held her hand as she sat up. The two of them
walked out of the mess hall together, hand in hand. She stopped him in
the hall, and looked him straight in the eye.
"Now, what's this about Harry becoming your son-in-law?" she asked him
with a smile.
