This is it. I am done. Review please.

Epilogue

Erin stood at the entrance of the room smiling down at the faces that belonged to her extended family. She couldn't believe that it had already been a year.

"Is everything alright darling?"

Erin felt a shiver run down her spine as Q whispered in her ear.

"Yes. I just can't believe its been a year."

"Neither can I. But lets join the party before everyone notices us loitering up here and think that we are going to make an announcement," joked Q.

"Well we are going to have to tell them eventually. Mom, Dad, and Icheb are the only ones that know and knowing this family the news is going to spread like wildfire once one person finds out."

"Well lets see how long it takes for one person to find out," smirked Q as he grabbed Erin's hand and placed a kiss on it as he lead her down the stairs.

Chakotay and Seven walked over to meet Erin and Q at the bottom of the staircase.

"Hello sweetheart," said Chakotay giving Erin a kiss on the cheek.

"Oh I didn't know you felt that way about me," joked Q.

Everyone laughed as Erin jabbed Q in the ribs with her elbow. Erin then embraced her mother as Q and Chakotay shook hands.

"How is the academy," asked Seven.

When Voyager had returned to Earth, Erin and Q decided to enroll in Star Fleet, this being Erin's second time.

"Its a breeze. At the rate I am going and with my grades my advisor says I most likely graduate early."

"Thats wonderful Erin," said the the Janeway, now an Admiral, as she joined the conversation.

"Thank you Aunt Katie."

Janeway smiled. It had taken Erin about a month before she started calling her that and Janeway loved hearing it.

"And how are you doing Q?"

Q looked sheepish.

"Very well. Though not as well as Erin. But then again she is freakishly brilliant and has done all this before so I guess thats to be expected."

Everyone laughed.

"Hey don't call me a freak. I will beat you," joked Erin.

Q gave Erin a kiss on her temple.

"I have no doubt about that love."

Janeway smiled at the two in front of her. Despite facing hardships in their lives and both undergoing radical life changes only a year before, both had adapted very well to their new lives.

"Well I am very glad to hear that. Now lets sit down an eat something."

"Yes ma'am," was the collective answer from the group along with joyful laughing.

The former crew of Voyager all took their seats and enjoyed the meal provided for the reunion. As the meal concluded and empty dessert plates sat in front of everyone, conversations began to pick up again. The entire former senior staff along with several additions sat at one table. Tom was now talking about his new holonovel as a one year old Miral was passed around the table.

"So when do you think your novel would be released Tom," asked Harry as he carefull passed Miral to Tuvok, who only glanced at her as he then passed her to the admiral.

"Hopefully sometime in the next three months. The publisher has high hopes. He thinks that if the novel is received well I may be asked to create a second one."

"Thats wonderful Tom," said the Admiral with a hint of awe in her voice as she played with Miral. Carefully she passed Miral on to Chakotay.

"Yeah I hope it all works out. So Erin, Q, Icheb how is school for all of you?"

The three students looked between each other before the boys silently agreed to let Erin answer first.

"Well studies for me are going great, but then again I have an unfair advantage," joked Erin.

Everyone chuckled. Next Q spoke up.

"I am also doing very well, but then again I have an unfair advantage," mimicked Q as he gestured to Erin.

Everyone laughed as Erin swatted him on the shoulder and he threw his arm over the back of her chair. Icheb smiled and waited till everyone quieted down before taking his turn to respond.

"I am doing well. Classes are not as difficult or efficient here as they were on Voyager, but I have adapted."

Again everyone laughed. It seemed everything was humorous.

"Well Seven, you and Chakotay must be so proud."

Seven looked up from watching Chakotay holding Miral.

"Explain."

"Well, Erin is your daughter so you must be proud of her doing well. Icheb is like your son so you must be proud of him. And well, Q kinda comes with the package."

Q had on a mock expression of hurt as everyone laughed even harder.

"When put that way. Yes I am very proud of my 'children'," ssmirked Seven as Chakotay passed Miral to her.

"You know Seven you look like a natural with a baby in your arms," commented the Doctor.

Everyone looked at Seven and couldn't help but agree. Chakotay and Seven looked at each other and smirked.

"Should we tell them now," asked Chakotay.

"It would be 'perfect timing'," joked Seven.

"Tell us what," asked Harry looking confused.

Chakotay and Seven beamed at everyone at the table.

"Seven and I are going to have a baby," gushed Chakotay, thrilled that he finally got to tell everyone.

"Congratulations," said B'Elanna, Harry, and the Admiral.

"Yes congratulations," said the Doctor with a proud smile on his face.

"Congratulations Commander and Seven," said Tuvok in his stoic manner.

Erin, Q, and Icheb smirked. It appeared that the three of them already knew about the baby. Tom was suspiciously quiet.

"Whats with the look Tom," asked Chakotay when Tom hadn't said anything.

"Sorry. Congratulations. Its just I was doing the math in my head. If we were in Erin's original timeline, Seven would have been pregnant with Erin right about now. So does that mean that Seven is pregnant with Erin or is this a new baby?"

Everyone looked to Seven and Erin who both had nervous looks on their faces.

"How far along are you Seven," asked the Admiral.

"About four months."

"So you must have found out what the baby's sex is," continued Janeway.

Seven and Chakotay gulped.

"Its a girl," they said in unison.

Everyone then looked at Erin who was looking at her mother's slight baby bump.

"So I might actually still get to be born in this timeline? But that means that we are going to be genetically identical," said Erin in shock and a small amount of wonder.

"Well hopefully this new Erin won't be as much of a troublemaker as this one," said Q off handedly as he pointed to Erin.

Everyone laughed and Erin punched Q in the arm again.

"Hey your one to talk. Half the trouble I got into was because of you."

Everyone was laughing at this point forgetting about the chance that Seven's unborn child was actually Erin.

"Well as long as no Q's come along your child should be relatively well behaved Chakotay," quipped Tom.

"Thanks Tom," deadpanned Chakotay as he watched Seven pass Miral to Erin.

Erin wrapped her right arm around Miral to support her and wiggled the fingers of her left hand to entertain the one year old. Miral giggled and grabbed at Erin's fingers. Something shiny on Erin's finger caught B'Elanna's attention.

"Erin, what's that on your finger,"asked B'Elanna, truly curious.

Erin's eyes widened and she quickly hid her hand beneath the table. Chakotay, Q, and Icheb snorted trying not to laugh. Seven simply smiled.

"Exactly three hours and thirty-two minutes Erin," said Q.

"Beg your pardon Q," asked the Admiral.

Everyone was looking at the makeshift family sitting at the table. Mainly their focus was on Erin who seemed to be shaking with laughter. Finally Erin composed herself enough to speak.

"Well thats longer then I would have thought. I honestly thought someone would noticed while we were eating," laughed Erin.

"Especially with how you hold your utensils. Your fingers are fully exposed," commented Icheb smirking.

Everyone was still confused as the family made jokes at their expense.

"Alright as Admiral I am ordering you cadet Erin, formerly Lieutenant full grade, to tell us all what is going on?"

Erin and Q exchanged glances and Q grabbed Erin's left wrist and held it up so that everyone could see her fingers. There on her left ring finger sat a platinum band with a single diamond surrounded by two celtic knots. Everyone at the table, except Chakotay, Seven, Iceb, Q, Erin, and Tuvok of course, gasped. Then collectively they said congratulations. Finally the Admiral stood up and raised her glass. With a spoon she carefully got everyones attention. The laughter coming from around the room slowly died down so the Admiral would be heard.

"Thank you all for coming. It is amazing how much has changed in the year since we have been home. People have gotten promoted," the Admiral gestured to herself with a smirked and then stole a glance at Lieutenant Harry Kim," some of us have changed careers," the Admiral then looked at Tom and B'Elanna," some of us have worked on expanding our family," the Admiral looked first at Chakotay and Seven and then at Samantha Wildman who was also pregnant with her second child, "and some of us have grown closer then before," the Admiral looked at Erin who was happily leaning into Q's embrace and then between Icheb and Naomi, both of whom blushed. "But we have remained a family on our continuing journey through life. So I propose a toast. To family and o the journey."

"To family and to the journey," came the joyous collective reply.
