CHANGE OF COMMAND
Chapter 7: Take Us In
By: Lauren Taylor


"Helm. Take us in." Captain Torres told her husband.

"Aye, captain." he grinned. 

B'Elanna leaned back in her chair and sighed. Five years. It had been
only five years since Voyager had gotten lost in the Delta Quadrant, and
yet, it seemed like so much more. So much had happened over the past five
years. Her and Tom had gotten married. Harry and Kes had gotten married,
and their daughter, Ileana, was now one year old, and helping out in
engineering. There were now four children on Voyager. 
Unfortunately, none of those children were Tom and B'Elanna's. They'd
tried for a year to have kids, but now were trying hard to face the fact
that they might not ever be able to have kids. It was hard, a few weeks
ago, when the doctor broke the news to them that B'Elanna was not
pregnant, and might not ever be. 
"Captain, Deep Space Nine is hailing us." the tactical officer told her.
"Answer them." she told him.
A brown haired Trill appeared on the view screen, staring at the bridge in
shock.
"Deep Space Nine, I am Captain B'Elanna Torres of Voyager."
"There was no B'Elanna Torres registered on Voyager. Seems like you guys
are going to have a pretty interesting story to tell." the Trill grinned.

"You guys go to the promenade, and wait for me there. I've got a meeting
with some officers here. Just get something to eat here. They've got real
food here." Harry told Kes and Illie with a grin.
"You mean, no leola root?" Illie asked, her blue eyes filled with hope. 
*Poor kid. She's an adult now, and all she's been used to is Neelix's
cooking.* Harry thought.
"They haven't even heard of it here." he smiled.

"And the one coming in late is my first officer, Lieutenant Harry Kim."
B'Elanna smirked. 
"So, the captain of Voyager is a Maquis? How many other Maquis were on
your ship?" Sisko asked.
"About half the crew." Harry told them.
"Well, we're going to have to take the Maquis back to Starfleet
headquarters for some questioning." one of the admirals said.
A security officer walked over to B'Elanna, and grabbed her arm. Tom ran
after them as they took her out of the room. 
"B'Elanna! I'll be right here waiting for you!" he cried out. 
"If they let you come back" he said quietly to himself.
