Author Notes: " This is my first attempt with writing a Voyager Fan Fiction. I have no idea how far I will be able to go with it. So Please be kind...

"Willingness."

Janeway POV

The crew of the Voyager have been in the Delta Quadrant for almost seven years. It's amazing on how everyone has been able to adapt being out here all this time.

Even Chakotay has been restless for when it comes to me and my silence of late. Even though it's been a whirlwind of emotions for me and the crew. Having spotted another worm hole at the outer edge of the Delta Quadrant.

I even asked Seven on whether it's going to be feasible for the Voyager and the crew to go through it. Even though not realizing just where we might wind up. I would hate to see all of us lose ground after all this time.

As for why Chakotay has been restless. I still can't believe it that he actually asked me to marry him after stalling our emotions between each other. For the better of the past two years.

It's been more rougher for me in general. Even though I have been over my emotions with having to be out here in the first place, and leaving the one person I loved a great deal.

For years I was fighting myself for having to made the mistake. While costing the lives of the crew to be away from there family and friends back on Earth or else where.

And being out here all this time has been a valuable lesson for me and everyone else that has been able to survive. Including Neelix, Blanna and her husband Tom Paris. And including Tuvok having lost the most. It's not been easy for anyone. For which I truly mean it for those lives that have been lost for ever.

I' m just glad to be inside the safe-haven of my quarters for now. I need to find out for myself. On whether I will have the willingness to at least try to be with him. Even though there are our differences. "So what!; We have been dealing with them ever since the very day I met him and his renegades.

Sitting here in the dark isn't doing my emotions any good constantly going over everything from inside of my brain. I even tried a glass of wine, food and even a short nap before Chakotay arrives from his shift on the bridge.

From what I understand from Seven, Kim and even Chakotay. They were trying to gather in as much information. In regard to the worm hole and where it just might lead us. There are a number of options to work from at this particular time.

Even though with the circumstances we might just run into the Borg once more. "Who Knows..." But will I be willing to take that chance after the number of run ins we'd had over the years.

I can almost imagine on just what Seven might have to say on the subject foremost. And its why she is not taking any chances in order to gather every piece of information. Before I decide and of course the others. On whether or not we should at least attempt it with first probes. Hopefully those probes will be able to show us on just what is on the other side of the worm hole.

But enough said and done. I need to be ready for the rest of this evening. When I know just what my answer to Chakotay question is going to be...

The End
