Kathryn breathed in the scent of him that seemed to surround her. She smiled to herself, her eyes still shut. That might have got something to do with the fact that he was there with her, surrounding her, protecting her. Not that she needed protection.
It also meant the one thing Kathryn would be forever grateful for. Time was running normally again. This was day one, the new day one. Day one of their growing relationship, day one of their new life together.
She couldn't resist the urge to actually see he was there; suddenly it wasn't enough just to feel him. She left a trail of small butterfly kisses behind as her mouth travelled up to his mouth. She knew he was awake when a wide content grin spread over his face. "Kathryn, I won't be responsible for my actions if you don't stop this, love." She travelled up the remaining distance to his mouth, covering it with hers in a passionate kiss before she pulled back slightly. "Good morning, lover," she said, closing the distance to kiss him yet again.
"Good morning to you too," he managed in between kisses.
She heaved herself onto her elbow to look at him, her other hand drawing lazy circles onto his stomach. "Time is as it was, moving forward again."
"Indeed," he grinned at her, his love radiating from his eyes.
"You know," she added. "You know I will have to kill you if you ever dare to leave me again, don't you?"
"I have to be dead then, so you won't be able to kill me."
Kathryn sighed. "I am serious, Chakotay. Don't ever dare to leave me again."
"I will do my best," he cupped her face into his hands. "I promise."
"Good. Because otherwise I would have to go back to New Earth to your cryptic alter ego."
"You lost me," he stated, looking confused.
"I should tell you about our adventures in the spirit world, Chakotay."
"I have the feeling you should, love."
"It all started with you deciding to get killed."
"Hey, I didn't decide to," he pouted, turning away from her.
"Whatever, now do you want to hear it or not?" She teased.
"Yes, of course I want to know," he answered honestly.
"Then turn around. I am not going to tell that story to your back," she challenged and knew she had got him.
He seemed to consider for a moment and moved too fast for her afterwards. She found herself pinned to the bed by him. "Do tell," he growled as he began nibbling her earlobe.
"As much as I love this, Chakotay, this is only going to distract me, you know? Do you want to hear this story, or not."
Chakotay sighed. "I will behave. I promise," he grinned at her, not making any move to indicate he was going to let her go.
Kathryn sighed. "Okay, where was I?" She trailed off as he began his sweet assault on her senses yet again. She gave up on the story as soon as his tongue flickered across her neck and surrendered to him.

The omnipotent being glanced down at the happy couple. The task was fulfilled, the lovers united and time was as it should be. They were now happily teasing one another. He grinned at them hovering just above his outstretched hand in a ball of light. Moving his other hand above it, he changed it into a stone. One that showed a peace rose on one side and a tattoo on the other. He marveled for a second as how beautifully carved it seemed to be.
Chakotay really had outdone himself as he had manufactured it on what they called New Earth.
It had been in his medicine bundle ever since, the one item Kathryn had clung to in her vision quests. He flipped it up like a coin and watched it spiral into the vast eternity of space. Right before it could evaporate in a nearby star he snapped his finger, watching it dematerialize. He opened a bundle himself, waving a hand above it mysteriously.
He smiled, as the stone appeared among his other precious memories. He then closed the bundle, pulling the delicate leather straps over his head. He would keep them close to his heart, he thought, rubbing the tattoo on his forehead.
The delicate indigo lines seemed to be an exact replica of another tattoo, a tattoo that belonged to a man who was now at peace with himself and the world, and would be until his life was ended.
The being smiled as he dared a look into the couple's future. There were hard times waiting for them, but it would all pay off for something bigger, something pure.
He decided to pay a visit to a planet nearby and he watched a young boy searching the stars for extraordinary phenomena. He would be the first among the stars. The first astronaut of his people. He would die a hero.
He sighed as the kid snuggled into his father's embrace.
*Now this little kid will never make this wish. Maybe I should.... Nah.....*

Author's note: I did it. I actually managed to end this the day the original X-files episode aired in Germany. I got the idea for this fic from 8th season's "Redrum". Don't ya just love Morpheus?
