The captain breaks the bad news to the Commander


"Doctor, transport yourself and the Commander to
visitor's room 10a, I'll meet you there. B'Elanna
you're with me, he may need a friend. Tom I'll
explain the situation regarding you and Harry. If you
want a private word with him you can see him later
when we know how he handles the news. I'll speak to
you when I've finished. Everyone dismissed."

Janeway and B'Elanna found Chakotay just waking up. 
His shirt had been removed and both women looked over
the glistening, well-muscled chest, took in the long,
flowing hair and the sensuous mouth. He opened his
eyes, and gave both women a slow sensual smile,
locking his eyes, first with the Captain then with his
old friend. He slowly arose from the bed, languidly
stretching his muscles. 

"Let's talk in the other room, we'll be more
comfortable," he smiled again and moved into the other
room, not attempting to get dressed. Both women found
it unsettling but B'Elanna noted that the Captain
hadn't asked him to put his shirt on.

"I don't know where to begin, I'm still in shock that
I have found you. My memory of events is a bit
confused, the doctor says my memories have been
tampered with." 

Chakotay paused and stretched out his muscles again,
causing B'Elanna and Janeway to glance away, scared of
their reaction. 

"I vaguely remember leaving Voyager and the shuttle
getting in trouble. Some people came to help me and
then my memory blanks out for. I recall being with
people and belonging to someone, but I can't remember
who. Then something happened and I ended up drifting
in space. About a week ago memories of Voyager
started to come back to me and then I received a
message from someone I had known on the planet giving
me information on how to open a wormhole and get back
to Voyager. I can't tell you much else because
everything is confused in my head. I remember Tom,
but then another face comes into my head and replaces
Tom. I see Voyager and then another place, somewhere
else I call home takes over.

"Don't worry Chakotay, the doctor says you should
recover your memory or most of it, through time. The
important thing is you are back with us and well." 
Janeway reached over and took his hand, squeezing it
with relief and affection.

"Chakotay, you know it's been three years, next week,
since you were lost, you accept that don't you?" He
nodded to the Captain in reply. "Things have changed
a little, things have moved on, you must understand
that". She watched his face but it stayed composed,
unemotional. 

"Is this about Tom, Captain? I've noticed he's not
actually rushed to see me." Janeway caught a flicker
of emotion go across his face, before he gathered
himself again. 

"I'm afraid that was my idea, he was devastated went
you went missing. He had to be sedated when we moved
off. Please understand he mourned for a year." The
captain held his gaze, willing him to understand. 

"Who is it?" his face remained calm, friendly,
unsurprised. 

'Well this is going better than I thought,' Janeway
mused to herself. Taking a deep breath, "Harry" and
before Chakotay could comment she rushed on. "He
comforted him and the relationship developed slowly. 
He's made Tom happy again. Please don't begrudge him
that. They plan to marry next week."

Something flashed across the Commander's face but then
the dependable smile was back. "Captain, I don't
resent Tom anything. I have the deepest regard for
him and always will but I can see it's over, there's
no blame, no fault. Now if you don't mind I would
like to be alone for a while. I need time to put my
thoughts in order, three years gone and Tom ready to
marry, it will take a little time to adjust. It
wasn't quite what I was expecting when I saw Voyager
again." 

"Chakotay you rest and we'll discuss the next steps
tomorrow. It's good to have you back, everyone has
missed you so much." As she was leaving, Janeway
turned. "Tom would like to visit later, to clear
things up, would that be OK by you?" 

Chakotay took a minute to answer, "I'd like that, yes
I'd like that very much."
