Disclaimer:  I don't own Star Trek or Seven and B’Elanna unfortunately; Paramount does so I'm just borrowing them I will return them after I'm done.
Feedback: Yes feel free to feed me.
Pairing: B’Elanna/Seven

A/N: One year on from the events of the Runaway Series. I have had this sitting for a while and I thought it was appropriate to post this today. I just want to say congratulations to Kris and Michael (Who knew he had it in him!)


Miral smiled triumphantly as she looked at her reflection in the full length mirror that hung next to her bed. She had spent the past two hours getting ready for her date with Jenny. It was a special date as it marked the one year anniversary her Mother’s and Seven’s wedding and more importantly her first kiss with Jenny.

Miral glanced at the door and sighed as she heard her Mother call her name once more. Her Mother and Seven had asked to speak to her about something; Miral cringed as she remembered the last talk they had had. Apparently making out, while riding up and down in turbolifts wasn’t appropriate behaviour. Miral chuckled as she recalled some of the shocked faces of people who had entered the turbolift; Jenny’s mum had even fainted.

Miral went back to checking her appearance once more, her hair which was freshly cut looked good, it was a more severe cut that she usually had. The hair was cut shooter in the back then it was in the front, causing the hair to slope in two sharp points that stopped level with her chin.  Miral liked it, it made her look older than fifteen.

Again her Mother’s voice rang out and with a sigh Miral turned from her personal inspection and headed to the living area.

When she exited her room Miral saw her Mother seated upon the armchair closest to the kitchen area, with Seven standing behind her with her hand upon her shoulder.

It was a familiar pose that usually spoke of some punishment and it instantly put Miral on guard. The last time they had struck the pose Miral had ended up confined to her room for a week because of a stunt she had pulled on the Captain involving some of Neelix’s Leola root stew. Her Mother had threatened to skin her alive her she messed with the replicator’s again.

“So what did you want?” Miral asked as she brushed an imaginary piece of lint of the shoulder of her favourite red tunic.

“Sit down baby.” B’Elanna said as she looked up as Seven and smiled.

“Is this going to take long?” Miral asked “it's just that I have a big date with Jenny!”

B’Elanna rolled her eyes, “For Khaless Sake Miral, just sit down!”

“Don’t shout at me.” Miral responded as she unconsciously did what her Mother requested.

“I didn’t. We are trying to talk to you and all your interested in is getting out of the door.” B’Elanna huffed.

“Well what did you want?” Miral asked with a small frown.

“Well it’s just that...” B’Elanna heisted and looked up at Seven once more.

A horrific thought suddenly struck Miral, “You not getting divorced are you?”

“Never.” Seven swore instantly.

Miral breathed a sigh of relief, she didn’t know what she would do if her Mother and Seven split up. Miral frowned once more as she tried to think about what her parents were trying to tell her.

“Good, so what’s this important news that is making me late?”

“Well... Seven and I...” B’Elanna hesitated again.

Miral watched as Seven gently squeezed her Mother’s shoulder.

“What your Mother is having difficulty in informing you is that, she is pregnant.” Seven said a small lick of the lips gave away her nervousness.

“Pregnant?” Miral asked as her jaw dropped open slightly. She couldn't quite believe what she was hearing. They had only been married a year and now her Mother was pregnant.

“Yes I’m pregnant.” B’Elanna nodded as she smiled brightly at her daughter.

Miral pushed herself up to her feet, “You’re having a baby?”

Miral stared at the floor; they hadn’t even told her they were trying for one.

“Yes.”Both B’Elanna and Seven said at the same time.

Miral’s mind was running away with her. She had thought it was something bad, now she wasn’t quite sure what she thought, or felt.

“Miral say something.”B’Elanna pleaded as she stood and moved towards Miral her hand outstretched.

Catching her Mother’s movement Miral snapped out of her thoughts and moved just out of reach. She regretted causing the flash of pain that entered her Mother’s eyes as she avoided her touch.

“I have to go; I don’t want to be late for my date.” Miral said as she turned.

“Miral wait!”B’Elanna cried.

“I have to go.”

Miral quickly made her way from her quarters. She could still hear her Mother calling to her when she entered the turbolift.
