Honey, I Think the Soundproofing Doesn't Work Very Well

"I think we need to install soundproofing between our quarters."

"Excuse me?"

*Oh shit! Did I just say that out loud?*

"Uh. Nothing."

"B'Elanna..."

"Oh ok. I just can't remember the last time Tom and I got a good night's sleep, that's all."

"So, you and Tom finally moved in together?"

"Well...yeah." *Damn. She wasn't supposed to find that out either until we wanted her to.*

"Why do you want soundproofing?" Captain Janeway seemed a little too interested.

"Well...with all due respect..."

"B'Elanna."

"You and Chakotay seem to be getting it on fairly well. And it's noticable."

"Ah shit. How many people know?"

"Most of the ship, I think. Tom and I were the first to notice, and since Chakotay lives on the other side of you. And then Tom had to tell everyone in the betting pool that he won. And Ensign Cavallaro happened to be a part of that. And you know how fast her mouth runs."

"Yeah I do, unfortunately. DAMN! Are we really that loud? And how'd you know it was Chakotay?"

"You're pretty loud. And you have a tendency to scream 'Chakotay!' a lot. Normally in connection with an 'Oh, God!' or a 'Don't stop!' " B'Elanna started to crack up.

"Too much information there, B'Elanna. What is so funny?"

"Oh. Just the way you looked right then. Like a kid caught with her hands in the cookie jar."

"Well...we won't go there. And I'm NOT installing soundproofing. If you're not getting much sleep..."

"I can't imagine what you're getting." Janeway gave her a look. "Well, yes I do. Just not from Chakotay."

"Vorik to Torres."

"Go ahead."

"I believe we have solved the problem revolving around the dilithium crystals. I request your prescense."

"On my way. Well, duty calls." B'Elanna dashed out the door, giggling like an ape, before Janeway had a chance to respond.
