AN: I just thought of this while listening and watching S.T.V. videos on YouTube. So I hope you like it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Star Trek Voyager, Paramount does. I just love to play with them. I will give it back when I am done with it.
For Naomi
It started out as any other day on a starship. Alpha shift replaced Gamma shift like any other ship. The difference with this particular ship happened to be in the fact that this ship was stranded in Delta Quadrant. The crew did not know that in a few hours their lives would change drastically.
Sam Wildman, Neelix, and Lt. Commander Tuvok were on their way back to Voyager when their shuttle hit an ion storm. Neelix and Sam's consoles exploded sending them flying to the ground of the shuttle. Tuvok sent a distress call to Voyager and went to assess his fallen crewmates. Voyager tractor the shuttle to the shuttle bay, and beamed the crew to sickbay.
Tom Paris and the Doctor quickly went to work on the injured crew members, but it was all for naught because the consoles that exploded killed them after a little time. Tuvok took the news stoically, like all Vulcan's would.
The Captain and Naomi Wildman came to sickbay only to find out about the deaths. Naomi ran to her mother and tried to wake her up. She kept saying "Wake up mommy!" over and over, but her mom was never going to wake up ever again. Naomi just cried in anguish by her dead mother. The person who would have taken her in was Neelix, since he was her godfather, but since he died also Naomi had nowhere to go.
"Captain if it is alright with you and Naomi, I will take her in until we can get Sam's will read" stated Tom sadly with tears running down his cheeks.
With tear stained cheeks Janeway answered Tom. "Sure Lieutenant. Go ask Naomi."
"Naomi would you like to come spend the night with me?" asked Tom?
Naomi wiped her arm over her eyes and said "Sure Uncle Tom."
(AN: Not many people knew that Tom babysat Naomi for Sam on Thursday s. When she got older it turned into a "date night", full of popcorn and movies. Naomi refused to be babysat when she got older, so Tom brilliantly changed the night into nights of fun for both of them.)
So Tom picked up a very sad and sobbing Naomi, and the equally sad Captain, Tom, and Tuvok walked out of the sickbay, leaving the doctor with prepping the bodies for the funeral.
AN: Well I hope you like the first chapter in For Naomi. It is so sad that she lost her mother and godfather at once. With her dad in the Alpha quadrant she has no one left. Who did Sam put down in her will as the care takers of Naomi? Well you will have to wait and review. Possible candidates include: 1 Tom, 2 the Captain, 3 B'Elanna, 4 Chakotay, 5 Seven of Nine, 6 two of these people. You can give me your answer in a review. Next chapter will reveal which one of these people or persons get Naomi.
