�Q?� Kathryn asked, having sent off Chakotay to keep on eye on their former senior staff.
�Don�t tell me you want them gone already? Sheez, you�re so picky. Even I don�t find them that annoying.�
�No. Q, I wanted to know if you�d be willing to transport me home when you transport the rest of my crew home.�
Q rolled his eyes. �Why? I saw how you were acting in the Alpha Quadrant. You weren�t very happy.�
�Well, now I have reason to be. Chakotay loves me. I actually have something worth returning home for.�
�Chuckles loves you?� Q laughed derisively. �You do realize that he claimed to love Seven and then left her?�
�She kicked him out.�
�True, but they still broke up. And now you�re trusting him with your heart? I find that a very foolish decision.�
�It�s not your decision to make, Q. If I don�t at least try, part of me will be unhappy for the rest of my days. I have to do this.�
Q sighed. �Fine. But don�t expect me to save you when the relationship fails. Say your goodbyes, then I�ll transport you all back to your homes.�
�Thank you, Q.� Kathryn hugged her godson, who resisted from the unfamiliar sensation, then finally hugged her back.
�Go on. When you�re ready to go, you know who to call.�
