"Can the doctor fix their DNA structure?" Harry Kim asked worriedly.
"Harry, The doc's already re-sequenced their DNA. They're human again,"
Chakotay responded.
"Are they okay?"
"Their fine but the doctor wants to keep them under observation for a few days.
He's not sure if the threshold incident will have any lasting effects.
But I'm
sure they will be fine."
"Is he allowing visitors?"
"Tomorrow Harry, but for now get some rest."
=/\= =/\=
Meanwhile in sickbay...
Kathryn awoke to the hiss of the hypospray against her neck.
"What's going on doctor?" Kathryn asked with confusion showing clearly
on her
face.
"You and Lt. Paris, evolved and then, reproduced." The EMH stated waiting
for
her reaction.
Her jaw dropped slightly, then she asked, "What?"
"You had children, several lizards but Commander Chakotay decided it
was best
to leave them behind." He restated.
'Damn Chakotay,' Kathryn thought. "Does Tom Know?"
"Not yet," The doctor stated, "he's still sleeping."
"Can you wake him?"
"Yes, but..."
"Do it now."
"Yes, Captain." The doctor took the hypospray and woke Tom; who grunted
and
then sat up on the bio bed.
"I'll call you when your needed." "Computer deactivate EMH." Kathryn stated.
Kathryn got off her biobed then strolled over and sat next to Tom.
While putting her arm around the LT. she said, "Tom, we need to talk."
He glanced at the arm on his shoulder and then gave her a strange look.,
"Captain?"
"Call me Kathryn."
"Um, okay, Kathryn, what do we need to talk about?"
=/\= =/\=
One hour later...
"Computer activate EMH!" Kathryn shouted.
The computer chirped its compliance and the doctor appeared.
"Please state the nature of the medical emergency."
"Doctor, look the hypospray is floating!" Kathryn shouted.
The doctor grabbed a tricorder and started scanning the hypospray and
the area
surrounding it.
"I'm not detecting anything abnormal."
"What? Nothing abnormal? Doctor, the hypospray is floating!" Kathryn shouted.
Tom, who was by now lying down lifted his head and said, "They don't
normally
do that. Do they?"
Kathryn glared at Tom just as he fell off the bed. "Tom!" She shouted.
Before Tom could hit the floor, he started rising upwards as the hypospray
slammed to the ground.
The doctor stood in amazement as this exchange took place.
After the hypospray hit the floor Tom floated to the biobed and landed
on it
gently.
The doctor picked the hypospray up off of sickbay's floor and examined
it.
Then he sat it on a medical tray (hoping that it wouldn't float again),
and glanced at Tom who was now sitting next to the Captain on her biobed.
The Doctor took his tricorder and went to Captain Janeway and Paris
to scan
them.
First he went to Tom, nothing was abnormal except that his brain waves
were a
little fast.
Next he scanned Captain Janeway and his tricorder started beeping.
"What does that mean?" She asked.
"It seems as though you've developed telekinesis." The doctor stated
as if it
was as common as a broken nail.
"What?" she asked surprised.
"Cool." Tom said.
"Telekinesis is when..."
"Doctor, I know what telekinesis is." She interrupted, "I was just surprised."
=/\= =/\=
A few days later...
Captain Janeway was sitting in her ready room reviewing reports when
her door
chimed.
"Enter Mr. Paris."
"Permission to sp...?" Tom asked
"Granted," She interrupted
"Kathryn, we've got to go back. We've got to get our kids."
"Tom, we've been through this before we can't go back..."
"I have no intention of going back." Tom stated
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"You'll just have to wait and see." Tom swiftly turned and exited her
ready
room.
Now all I've got to do is figure out how to get them back without physically
leaving the ship.
Now what was that all about , Kathryn asked herself.
=/\= =/\=
01:03 hundred hours...
Ensign Harkson was performing transporter maintenance when Tom Paris
entered
the transporter room in his boxers.
"T-Tom, shouldn't you be wearing something other than boxers in the
transporter
room?
Tom snored and strolled past the ensign to the transporter controls.
"Tom?"
=/\= =/\=
Meanwhile...
Captain Janeway was relaxing in her quarters reading a PADD while lying
on her
couch.
When all of a sudden she had a vision of Tom in his boxers walking
down a
corridor. Kathryn, she scolded herself, you shouldn't have thoughts
like that
about your crew. Especially your helmsman, even thought he is very
attractive,
and the father of your children.
She started to read her PADD again when her comm badge chirped.
"Harkson to Captain Janeway."
What now? she asked herself. Then slapped her comm badge to respond.
"Janeway
here."
"Um, Captain we have a problem."
"What kind of problem?"
"Tom is in his underwear, working on the transporters, and snoring.
I think
he's asleep."
"Okay, I'm on my way. Janeway out."
She jumped up and grabbed her uniform jacket and a tricorder.
She stuck the tricorder in her belt and started putting her jacket
on as she
exited her quarters.
What is he doing? What ever it is, he'd better be asleep or he's in
big
trouble.
=/\= =/\=
Minutes later...
Captain Janeway burst into the transporter room. "Report!" With the
word
barley off of her lips she watched
in horror as Tom beamed Ensign Harkson, who wasn't even on the transporter
pad,
away. (note: Voyager at this time is not near enough to any planets
to be in
transporter range)
"Help m..." Ensign Harkson shouted as he was beamed off Voyager.
"Lt. what do you think you are doing? Beam him back now." Janeway demanded.
When he didn't respond she walked over to him and placed her hand on
his bare
shoulder. "Mr. Paris."
Tom did a back flip over her head, picked her up and held her above
him. Tom
was about to slam her
into a console when he awoke. He looked up and upon seeing the captain
he
almost dropped her.
Setting her gently on the ground he apologized, "I'm sorry Captain,
are you all
right?"
"I'm fine but I'm not so sure about Ensign Harkson!"
"What happened?"
"You beamed him off of the ship."
"Oh my God!" Tom shouted as he ran over to the console, "Oh my God..."
"Is he dead?"
"No, in fact he's very much alive and he's on the planet with our kids."
"How's that possible?"
"Well, How did I get down here in my boxers?" Tom blushed as he tapped
a few
commands into the console and Kathryn watched in amazement as his clothing
was
transported onto him.
=/\= =/\=
"Captain, It seems as thought you are not the only one who was effected
by the
threshold incident." The doctor stated then continued, "Mr. Paris,
has become
extremely strong and agile and along with his incredible intelligence
his
sleepwalking has become very dangerous. I think we are going to have
to find
a solution for this sleepwalking before someone gets hurt or thrown
into a
console. You on the other hand have become somewhat telepathic and
have a link
with Mr. Paris."
"You mean, when I saw Tom walking down the corridor it was actually happening?"
"Yes, But I am still unsure why I didn't detect any of this earlier."
"How are Harkson, and my children?"
"I sent Harkson to his quarters, he is fine. As for your children, if
that's
what you want to call them, they are with Tom sleeping, in your quarters."
"What? My quarters? Why?"
"Well, since they are your children and have a telepathic link with
both you
and Mr. Paris. They should be around both of you until you two decide
what to
do with them."
"Okay." I guess.
"But..."
"But What?"
"Two things, their life spans are only about sixty years, and they will
remain
lizards for life."
"Lizards, hua? We'll see about that."
Just then sickbay's doors swished open and Tom strolled in holding three
young
children.
"And this is sickbay. That's our doctor he's an EMH program. Oh and
look
there's mommy!"
The doctor was astounded, even he with all of his medical expertise,
could not
figure out how to change the lizards into children, But Tom Paris a
lowly
helmsman changed them in only a matter of minutes.
"And you were saying doctor?" Kathryn asked.
=/\= =/\=
A few days later...
On the couch in Kathryn's Quarters Tom and Kathryn are discussing names
for
their children.
"How about Kathy?"
"I love it, Tom. What about, T.J.?"
"What does T.J. stand for?
"Thomas Junior."
"Awe, you want to name him after me?"
"Yeah. What should we name our youngest?"
"How about Tesh?"
"That's a cute name! I like it."
Just then, Tesh's cry interrupted them. Kathryn started to get up but
Tom
stopped her.
"It's okay, I'll get her." Tom walked into the bedroom and calmed her
by
tickling her stomach. "Tesh, do you have the ring?"
She giggled and held the ring in the air.
Tom took the ring, "Thank you. Your daddy's little helper aren't you?"
Tesh giggled again... "Daddy helper."
"Bye bye Tesh, I'll be back soon." Tom waved and then exited the room.
Here
goes nothing...
"Yes."
"What?"
"Yes, I'll marry you."
"But... I wanted to propose."
"Go ahead..."
"Kathryn, I've had a crush on you ever since I saw you at Auckland when
you
took me out of prison. I fell instantly in love with you but never
had the
courage to ask you this... Will you marry me?"
"I already told you yes, silly..."
=/\= =/\=
Three years later...
Dear Mom,
Many things have changed in the past five years. I got married three
years ago
to kind, loving, easy going guy. His name is Thomas Eugene Paris. Yes,
It's who
you think it is. The man I rescued from Auckland so many years ago.
We have
four beautiful children, Kathy, T.J., Tesh, and Chris. Kathy, T.J.
and Tesh
were products of the threshold incident three years ago but look and
act like
normal ten year olds. They are wonderful kids, that started out life
as
lizards. Tom changed from lizards to children and they all have their
father's
agility and strength. Along with my telekinesis and telepathy. We feared
for
along time that they were going to age too quickly and they would die
soon but
Tom (thank God he's so smart) figured out how to slow their growth
to normal.
Then there's Chris, my baby and the youngest of our four. Chris was
only born
six months ago, and he's a normal baby except for his agility which
was found
very much by accident only a few days ago. Tom was hyping things up
(as usual)
and I was tickling Chris, who was lying on my bed, when he rolled off
and
landed on his feet and did a back flip back onto the bed. Needless
to say I was
very surprised.
As I mentioned before I have telekinesis and over the past three years
have
learned to harness it. I can now pick up items (and people ) and even
do a few
more tricks. My telepathy is limited to Tom and the children (most
of the time
once in awhile I can hear/communicate with others) but I can always
feel their
love. It's very special. I love my family dearly and my husband he's
wonderful.
But he does have his flaws he has to hype up EVERYTHING he sees. He's
made so
many inventions like his mini phasers, mini PADDs, mini replicator,
his force
field/cloaking device/ comm badge, the delta flier, and so much more...
I can't
even begin to list everything. But, like I said in my first letter
he's the
reason we are now at DS9 and should be home in a few days. I'm so excited,
I
can't wait to see everyone. And Tom can't wait to meet you. He's a
Lt.
Commander now, you know.
Well I miss you but we'll be home soon,
Love Kathryn
=/\= =/\=
Three days later...
Captain's log supplemental,
We got a warm welcome from StarFleet today. There was a huge assembly
and
everyone was there. Tom got a medal for his technological and medical
breakthroughs, and the crew of Voyager (and the ship) was added to
the
StarFleet secret service we will be doing top-secret missions and traveling
back and fourth between the Alpha and Delta quadrants on several long
range
missions.
We also go a warm welcome from my family today. The children had lots
of fun
playing with their cousins and meeting their grandmother and aunt for
the first
time. Tom had a wonderful time and so did I, it was great seeing my
family,
but Tom's family on the other hand weren't so nice. His mother and
sister's
were wonderful don't get me wrong, but his father, the man I looked
up to for
all of my career, shunned us, all of us even the children. Tom was
upset, even
though he didn't show it I knew, I always know.
Over all this day wasn't that bad, but Tom's father, I'm beginning to
hate
him more every time I think about it.

"I have you now, Arachnia!" Doctor Chaotica cackled as he aimed a ray
gun at
Captain Janeway-Paris's head.
"I don't think so Cha..." The holodeck doors swished open, interrupting
Captain
Janeway-Paris as Tom Strolled in.
"Kath..." Tom interrupted himself, "Captain Proton to the Rescue!"
A startled Chaotica whirled around and fired several times at "Captain
Proton".
To avoid getting hit, Tom ducked, did a couple of back flips,
a few somersaults and landed on his feet beside Captain Janeway-Paris.
"Show off," She grumbled. "Computer end program!"
"Kathryn..." Tom said pleadingly, "What did you do that for?"
"Tom, I could have taken care of him," She said.
"Not from where I was standing!"
"Tom, you weren't standing. You were jumping, flipping, ducking and
doing
somersaults."
Kathryn said sarcastically.
"Not the whole time," Tom said sarcastically, "I wasn't doing back flips
and
somersaults when I entered the holodeck.
Was I?"
They continued their merry little banter as they exited the holodeck.
=/\= =/\=
Captain Janeway-Paris checked her personal chronometer for the third
time.
"He's never late maybe my chronometer is broken."
"Watch," Tom corrected her, "and no, it's not broken."
"Then, where have you been? And why are you so late?" she asked.
"Well, I could ask you the same thing," Tom responded.
"What's that supposed to mean?" She asked quizzically. "I've been here
the
whole time."
"Oops!" Tom said slyly.
She put her hands on her hips, "Oops what, Mister Paris?"
"I forgot to tell you were not taking the Delta Flier..."
"Okay, What did you do to it?" Kathryn asked impatiently.
"What do you mean what did I do to it? I didn't do anything to it, honest."
he
said innocently
"Mister Paris, do I have to read your mind?"
"Go ahead, sweetheart."
"Dammit, Tom! How'd you do that?"
"I can block your telepathy, naner naner naner." Tom joked.
"I can read it now, naner nan...Hey!" "Well, I got enough to ask you
a couple
of questions.
What's an Alpha cruiser? And what's this about warp 15!"
Tom pulled a little red automobile out of his pocket and dropped it.
The car fell and hovered about an inch above the floor, "This is the
Alpha
cruiser."
"Tom, we can't fit in that!"
He then pulled out a strange metal object and a mirror. "This is called
a key
and we're going to use it to get in."
"Oh, No, No way, No No!"
Tom laughed and handed Kathryn the mirror, "And this is for you."
"Why?"
"I don't know...but the key is how we're getting in."
Tom said while aiming the key at the car and pressing the little red
button in
the center of it.
The car grew in size until it was WAY bigger than the Delta flier (and
the
shuttle bay doors).
"Um Tom, how can we get in there the doors are too big?"
Kathryn questioned and continued, "How are we going to get it out of
the
shuttle bay the doors are too small."
"Oops, I held the button down too long. I'll fix it."
Tom pressed the little blue button near the side of the key for about
a
millisecond.
The car shrank to the normal size (for a regular car). "All done. Hop
in!"
Kathryn proceeded to open the driver's side door.
"Wait!" Tom shouted. "I'm driving! Get in on the other side...please."
"What ever." Kathryn said, As she sat and slid across the seat to the
passenger
side.
"I didn't think of that!" Tom said as he shut the Alpha Cruiser door.
"That's a first." Kathryn said sarcastically.
"It really is!" Tom said seriously.
"Let's go we're behind schedule as it is." Kathryn said impatiently.
=/\= =/\=
One minute later...
The Alpha Cruiser has left Voyager and is nearing warp 11.
"Tom, I know your not telling me something."
"I told you everything." Tom said
"Thomas Eugene Paris, What are you hiding from me?"
"Kathryn, you don't want to know."
"If you weren't going to tell me then why did you bring me?"
"Well, You'd find out sooner or later... Q contacted me."
"What did he tell you?"
"There will be a war... A terrible war... Many lives will be lost and
I'm the
only one that can stop it!"
"Tom, you are talking in riddles."
"I'm sorry but that's all I can tell you for now."
