Kathryn Janeway jolted awake with a strangled gasp, the motion jostling her companion who lowered the PADD she had been reading.
"Are you all right, Kathryn?" Janeway shuddered and moved towards the other woman who raised an arm to pull her close.
"Nightmare." Beverly hummed and pressed a kiss to a sweaty brow, knowing better than to ask. "Tom and I took a shuttle to Warp 10, devolved into giant salamanders, mated, and then when we were rescued we abandoned our offspring!"
"That is. . . disturbing."
"You're telling me." She shuddered again at the thought of having mated with Tom Paris.
"Well it was just a dream." She pressed another kiss into auburn hair. "Think you can get back to sleep?" Kathryn nodded as she moved to get out of the bed, ignoring her wife's protests.
"I just need to check the girls. Need to be sure they're perfect cherubs and not amphibians"
"You're ridiculous." She said as she rolled her eyes, laughing as she heard the whisper-shouted response from her wife.
"You love me!"
"I really do."
