Once More part 2. Written by Melissa
B'Elanna grave her report to the Captain in private. Janeway
looked at her for a long time then said, "B'Elanna, is everything alright?
Maybe you should take the rest of the day off. There is going to
be a senior staff meeting tomorrow at 07:00, go g
"Thank you Captain. I think I do need some sleep."
Torres answered. Perfect! She thought. Tom won't be off
duty for an hour. I have time to think about what I should say to
him. B'Elanna turned to leave.
The lights were on dim. B'Elanna was curled up on a chair.
She held a cup of coffee and watched the stars shoot by. Torres felt
uneasy, she still couldn't find the right words to say to Tom. Now
she had two problems. She had to deal with Tom's feelings.
Damn! How the hell am I going to do that? I know I have
to tell him before he…
Wait! Only Chakotay knows! He won't tell, not on
his life. Plus I'll talk to Tom before Nolan will. Torres took
a deep breath, just as the door charms rang.
"Come in."
Tom Paris walked through the open doors. He was still
in his uniform. He gave her a fake smile. He was trying to
act like everything is great, but not fooling B'Elanna for a minute.
"We need to talk." The both said in unison. Only different was
that B'Elanna didn't sound as serious as Tom.
"What is it?" B'Elanna asked, she had no idea what he
was going to say.
"Why?" Paris looked straight into her chocolate colored eyes.
He still remained standing, while B'Elanna sat.
"Pardon me?" B'Elanna asked. "Look Tom, if this
is about what you said to me before my away mission…"
"It's not. It's about what Nolan told Harry and I when
we were introducing him to Voyager."
Torres turned from him and barked "Computer, time."
"The time is 20:00 hours."
B'Elanna looked back at Tom, who was puzzled. Paris got
off duty two hours ago. She must have lost track off time.
Yet, she never thought that The Doctor would allow Hunter to go see the
ship.
"WHAT DID HE SAY?" She yelled. She grew hot with anger.
"He told me the truth." He snapped back.
B'Elanna glared at him. "About what?"
Tom walked over to her and closed his eyes. He took to
deep breaths. "He told me that you two were engaged." A single
tear fell down his cheek.
To be continue…
