"All hands this Admiral Jack Carter, please pay attention to orders." I said over the comm. The entire senior staff was assembled on the bridge in dress uniform. "Last night, myself and the senior staff were promoted by the president of the united federation of planets. By order of the president I was promoted to Chief of Starfleet security, Tom Walker was promoted to Captain and made the deputy chief of Starfleet security, B'Elanna and Tom Paris were promoted to captain and made professor at Starfleet engineering, Seven of Nine was promoted to lieutenant commander and put in charge of Starfleet Astro-theory, The doctor was given a rank of lieutenant commander and put in charge of the surgery department at Starfleet Medical. It also gives me great pleasure to say that Harry Kim was promoted Captain and has taken my position as the captain of Voyager." I announced. "Therefore by order of Starfleet command I hereby turn over the command of this vessel to Captain Harry Kim, as of this date. Computer transfer all command codes to Captain Harry Kim, Command authorisation Carter Alpha 765 omega 31." I said. "Command code transfer complete, U.S.S Voyager now under the command of Captain Harry Kim." The computer confirmed. "I relieve you sir." Harry said. "I stand relieved." I said shaking Harry's hand. "All hands dismissed." Harry said. The crew returned to what they were doing and I stood there and looked around the bridge. "You know I was only in command for 9 months, but it was the best 9 months of my life. I only wish you the same success." I told him. "Thank you sir." Harry said looking at me. "Well I'll head to our quarters and finish clearing out" tom said. "Most of it is packed, all you need to do is take it down to the transporter room." I told him. He kissed me and then said "What are you going to do?" he asked. "I'm going to pack up the ready room and then I'll meet you down on earth." I told him. "Okay babe." He said as he left the bridge with the rest of the senior staff. "Lieutenant the bridge is yours." I said as I walked down to the ready room. I grabbed the box I kept in the cupboard by my desk and began to pack.
As I re-appeared down on earth in the transporter room of Starfleet command with my last box from the ready room I walked to my office in the main command building and put everything out from my ready and tried to make it my own. It only took about 15 minutes but when I was done it look fab. A sofa in the corner, a big desk in the centre. A giant viewscreen to the side and behind, well a giant window that looked out at the golden gate bridge and I had a view of the academy grounds. I smiled at myself as I could see my reflection in the window, the 4 star admiral bars on my collar and sleeves, the Starfleet command belt round my waist and I knew this was what I had always dreamed of. I was broken from my daydream when the door chime went off. "Come in." I said as the doors opened and in walked Tom, with my parents and most of all my two precious little angels. "Hi Guys." I said as I took Matthew off my dad. "Dada." he said. He giggled at me when I tickled his belly and gave him a kiss on his forehead. "We just thought we would come and see your office." My mother said. "Well what do you think?" I asked. "It looks wonderful. Hard to believe how much you have turned Layton's office around." She said to me. "Well it's my office now." I said smiling sitting in my chair as they took a seat on the sofa. "I just can't believe my son has the same rank as me." My father said. "The price I pay for catching the eye of the president." I told them. "And when does your first day officially start?" my mother asked. "In the morning. Kathryn has got the handover report and will be introducing me to my secretary." I told them. "How is your meeting calendar looking?" Tom asked. "I don't know yet, that's something I have to deal with tomorrow." I told them. "Don't worry babe I'm sure you have a busy day ahead of you tomorrow." I added to Tom. He smiled.
The following morning I woke up at 06:00, and went to grab the kids, Emma was still out like a light, but Matthew was wide awake and giggling at his spinning mobile. I scooped him up and carried him through to the front room of the apartment we were staying in. "How's my special little man this morning." I said to him as I went to the replicator and replicated him some milk and set him down in his high chair and gave him bottle and he was happily grabbed it and began to drink. I then went back in and grabbed Emma, and replicated another bottle and sat at the table and fed her. Matthew was now fully wide awake and this was the time he decided to be a little shit. He threw his bottle at me, and then started banging on his high chair. "Matthew!" I said with a forceful tone. I went over and picked up his bottle and put it back on his table of the high chair and he took it from me. "No!" he said. Over the last few months Tom and I hadn't really had to deal with Matt as he was with my parents for quite some time as the war was happening and when we did have him last he was only just starting to talk and hadn't really had his tantrum phase, of course we knew about his progress. He was walking and was becoming such a little explorer. He liked to get into the cupboards and check everything out. "Matthew I want you to drink your milk." I said to him. "NOOOO!" he screamed at the top of lungs and threw his bottle across the room almost hitting Tom who coming out of the bedroom. "Woahh, someone is having his tantrum this morning." Tom said as he grabbed the bottle off the floor. "Yeah not in the best of the moods this morning." I said as Tom came over and kissed me on the head and then went over to Matthew. "Matty, come on don't be a bad boy for your daddy." He said as he gave matt his bottle. Emma was really hungry this morning, she had almost finished the entire bottle. Matt was now drinking the bottle and doing as he was told for Tom. "How is it, he will do what you want him to, but with me he's naughty?" I asked Tom. "I dunno, I must have the touch." He replied. "Well then you can get him ready." I said as I took Emma's bottle and put it back in the replicator. "Well im going to bath, little miss and you can sort him out." I told Tom. He smiled at me. "Okay babe, I'll let you shower first." He told me. I smiled and went off into the kids bedroom. I undressed Emma and popped her in the bath and cleaned her up and then dried her off and got her into a cute little outfit and brushed her hair. I then took her back through to Tom who was sat with Matt and reading a story. Matt was helping Tom turn the pages and laughing at the story he was being told. "One more for you." I said as I sat Emma down on Tom's Lap. I then went into the bedroom and into our en-suite and got in the shower. Today was an important day. It was the first day on our new positions. After showering and getting into my new uniform and making sure that I had the appropriate rank on my collar, I looked in the mirror and I had to say I did look good in a Starfleet command Admiral's uniform. I left the bedroom and I took the kids off Tom while he went to get himself ready.
30 minutes later we had beamed over to Starfleet command, and had dropped the kids off, when we were walking towards the main command building. "I can't believe Matt is a year old next week." Tom said to me. "I know, I was thinking of having a small birthday party for him on the Saturday." I replied. "That sounds good, where at?" he asked. "I'm sure my mother would want us to have it there. Invite friends round and in the position I hold I can make sure voyager is back in orbit." I replied. "Yeah sounds good, and Kathryn is wanting us to attend a meal on the Tuesday night to mark the one year anniversary of us being home." Tom told me. "Yeah I know, Kathryn and I are meeting at some point to discuss it." I told him. "You're organising it?" he asked. "Yeah, as the former captains of Voyager we agreed to organise everything." I explained. "That's really cool." He said as we walked into the command building. We entered the main command centre, and saw Kathryn stood with two young officers. "Ahh Jack, Tom welcome to your first day as the heads of Starfleet security. Jack this is Ensign Thomas Daley he is going to be your new PA. Tom this is Ensign Chris Mears, he is going to be your new PA." she explained. "Good afternoon sirs." They both said. "Well now the introductions have been done, let's get your day started. Jack, you know where your office so if you would like to make your way there and I shall take Tom and Chris to their office." Kathryn told me. "Great another Tom." I said jokingly. My Tom smiled at me. "I look forward to working with your sir." Said Ensign Daley. "Me too." I replied. We went off to the turbolift as Tom and Chris were still talking to Kathryn. We rode the turbolift to the seventh floor of the building on the top of the building and walked down the corridor and into my office. There was a main area where Thomas would sit and co-ordinate my day and where people could come to arrange meetings with me. As we entered Tom looked around. "Well Mr Daley, I will let you get settled in and then in about half hour we shall meet to go over my diary and planner for the next week. If you could get my planner and diary from Starfleet information and I will leave you to it." I said smiling. "Thank you sir." He said as I walked into my office. I sat down at my desk and breathed. I got back up and headed for the replicator and ordered some coffee and then sat at my desk. I saw the picture of me, Tom and the kids sat on my desk and I smiled to myself. I activated my computer and pulled up Ensign Daley's service record so I had a better idea of who he was. He was a recent graduate of the academy, was the 5th in his class, was part of the Starfleet diving team, and had recently won the Rigel cup in diving.
The half hour passed and my door chime went off. "Come in." I said. Thomas walked in and took a formal stance. "I have your diary and planner for you sir." He said. I sighed, how many people was I going to go through this with. "Thomas, sit. Please." I said pointing to one of the chairs in front of my desk. "Thank you sir." He said. He sat down and was still in his formal stance. "Thomas, please at ease before you sprain something." I told him and finally he relaxed. "Thank you sir." He said. "Tom, I don't know how much you know about me, but in the last half hour I've learnt a lot about you. Tom I work very informally, you don't have to be so formal and ridged. You can relax around me. I'm not going to dress you down for not taking a formal stance. I want us to become more than just colleagues. I want us to become friends." I said. "I would like that sir, your reputation had preceded you and I am aware of your family situation and your marriage to Captain Walker, and I want to say if there is anything I can help with all you have to do is ask." He told me. "Thank you, over time you may regret you said that, but I will no doubt take you up on that offer. Now before we get down to business, let me ask you a question, you and Mr Mears seemed to have a close relationship, mind if I ask if there is something going on there." I said. He smiled and looked down. "Yeah there is something between us, we have been seeing each other for a few months now and everything is going so well. He's been so loving and sweet." He said going red in the face. "Yeah, the honeymoon period is always the best." I said thinking back to when me and tom first started. "If you don't mind me asking, how long have you and captain Walker been together." He asked. "We have been married for over a year now, nearly two years. Have been together for 8 years almost 9." I explained. "That's so cool." He said. "Well anyway shall we get down to business." I said. He smiled and spun my computer round and brought up my calendar and then said "Here you go, this is your calendar for the next week. Let's start with today." He said. "Hold on a minute, let me just read this a second." I said. Today was easy. The morning till lunch was catching up with Tom and then at 10:30 I had a meeting with Tom to go over the handover and outline what we had to do. Then in the afternoon I had a meeting with Kathryn at 13:00 and then at 15:00 I was meeting with Harry from Voyager and then at 16:00 I had a meeting with the head of the security teams for earth. Then at 17:00 I was due to review the tactical reviews and then meet with my mother at 17:30 before finishing for the day at 18:00. The week went by just like that, I had a lot of time booked in for evaluations and then also going over the security policies after the war and getting everything back to normal. There were also many things to do with debriefings that had to be addressed before the de-briefings began the following week for those captured in the war. "Okay let's get started." I said. And so we began to talk things over.
"So baby how was your day?" tom asked as we walked back to the transporter as he pushed the stroller. "Good, been busy with everything going on, but I enjoyed it." I replied. "Same everything here is going well." He replied. "Awww baby I'm so happy that we are doing well." I said grabbing him into a hug. "Me too." He said kissing me. "So about Matt's birthday, Kathryn and I talked about the dinner on Tuesday and we agreed to have it at Sandrine's. Seems like a perfect setting, my mother and father have asked if they can have the kids that night so they can do something with them for matt's birthday so we don't have to worry about a babysitter and then on Saturday my mother said we can have his party at theirs and I have invited friends and family. My grandparents are going to be come, as are all the senior staff from voyager with the exception of Tuvok who is going back to Vulcan to see his family." I explained. "Well baby you are so organised I'm sure he is going to have a fantastic birthday." Tom said. "Thanks babe, Tabor and Garren are coming, and Luke and Will are coming." I told him. "Oh that will be nice to have them." He replied. "Yeah babe I can't wait. Oh and Ensign's Daley and Mears are going to come." I told him. "The two of them?" he asked. "Yeah did you not know they were a couple." He asked. "Yeah I knew, I'm just surprised you invited them." He said. "Yeah, we have to get to know them better. We are going to be working with them for a while." I replied. "I guess your right." He replied.
Tuesday came, and the day went by well. In the evening I dropped the kids with my parents. They were happy to have them as Tom and I were getting ready for the evening. We were one of the last few people to arrive and when everyone was seated and caught up Kathryn tapped her glass. "Ladies and gents, I want to thank you all for coming. As you know one year ago today this crew returned from 7 years in the Delta Quadrant. We went through some rough times out there and I was determined to get you all back. I want to say that you are the finest officers with whom I have ever served and as we all move onto the new chapters in our lives, I want to take a moment to say about Chakotay. He was simply the finest first officer that anyone could have and a dear and close friend. Even now I still miss him but I know he is looking down on us and wishing us all well and guiding us on the right path. So I would like to raise a glass to Chakotay." She said as she raised her glass of rose wine. We all clinked glasses and then I stood up. "As Kathryn said, you are all the finest officers, and I was privileged to your first officer and then Captain. I know it only lasted a short time but you all did me proud. I would like to thank you all for everything you have done and I wish you success in your new careers." I said as I sat back down.
The rest of the week went well, and Saturday came and went. We had amazing birthday for Matthew and he really enjoyed the day. He got some truly wonderful gifts and I was really happy with everything. I couldn't believe my little boy was one year old. This truly was a new frontier in our lives. To all my readers, please keep the emails coming and i love hearing from you all.
