Once More part 4 & 5
 Part 4.
 The doors opened to revile Tom’s quarters.  Slowly B’Elanna and Tom
walked in together.  B’Elanna went to the couch, Tom went to get some
coffee.  He brought the cups over, handed one to Torres.  Paris sat
close, really close, to B’Elanna and gave her all the time she needed to
let her feelings go.
 “It happened such a long time ago, I didn’t even know Chakotay.” She
spoke in a soft voice. “ I don’t know how to start.”
 Tom went to touch her face, but she turned away. That’s when he notice
her eyes were clouded. “Just let it out, I’m here for you. I don’t want
anything to hurt you,  I love so much.”
 B’Elanna sighed, “You remember how I never let anyone get to close to
me?”
 “Kinda hard to forget, it drove me nuts!”
 “ I was scared of meeting the wrong guy and getting hurt again.”
 Tom got his hand on top of hers, but she wouldn’t show her face. “Bad
break up?”  He ask gently, but as soon as Tom did, he swore B’Elanna
went pale.
 “He...Nolan use... to...he use to hit me.” She choked it out, and
turned to face Tom, tear building in her eyes.
 Tom didn’t say anything, just look with his clear, caring blue eyes. He
was in shock. He wrapped his arms around her, as she laid her head on
his chest. “I’m so sorry Lanna. I don’t know what to say,” Tom cupped
her face with his hands, so their eyes met.  “But if you ever need to
talk or someone to hold you while you cry, I’m here. Do want to  talk
about it?”
 B’Elanna took a deep breath, “ Nolan always said he loved me, and cared
about. It so good, so right. Then he hit me.” At that moment B’Elanna
broke out into tears. “I was worried about never finding anyone to love,
or love me again. I stayed with him.”
 At this point Tom even had  tears in his eyes. “I  can’t believe this
happened to such a great, beautiful woman. And worse I trusted that
guy!” Is there anything I can do for you?”
 “Go pack some thing’s and spend the night with me?” B’Elanna requested,
softly.
 Tom couldn’t believe she was asking this, but glad B’Elanna did. What
would stop him from being with the woman he loved more then life? “I’ll
be right back, if you don’t mind moving that is?”
 B’Elanna crawled off Tom and he walked to his room, throw some clothes
into a bag and walked back to his precious girl. She smiled at the sight
of him and got up  to be in his loving arms.
 “I’m sorry I never told you earlier, but I didn’t want you to treat me
different.” B’Elanna whispered in his ear.
 “You don’t have to be sorry, I’m the one who acted like an jerk...”
Before Tom could finish, B’Elanna planted a kiss upon his lips.
 “Lets go, Flyboy.” B’Elanna purred.
 
 They walked out hand in hand and headed to B’Elanna quarters. They
didn’t speak a word. Tom couldn’t help but wanting to punch Nolan, show
him how B’Elanna felt. At lease He has B’Elanna now and no one was going
to take her away.
 
 B’Elanna slipped into a silk night gown, while Tom pulled on some boxer
shorts. She laid in the bed, waiting for Tom to join her.   Tom  joined
B’Elanna and welcomed each other with a affectionate kiss, which lasted
a long  time. They kissed each other tenderly, enjoy each others
company, until they fell asleep holding on to each other.

 Tom woke up, alone.  He found a note beside him and started to read.

         Tom,
 you looked so beautiful when you sleep, I didn’t have the heart to wake
you.  I had lots to do in engineering before the meeting and I though if
I get it done early, we would have the night free. Any ideas? I enjoyed
last night, but lets try something different. Love you, always.
 B’Elanna
PS Don’t do anything dumb, I know you have to work with Nolan. For me,
OK?

 Tom sigh, if  Nolan touches her, or even tries, he could not be
reasonable for his action. Tom crawled out of bed, then it hit him.
B’Elanna wanted to spent the night, with him, again. He had to smile as
he got ready to head down to the mess hall before the staff meeting.

 Lt. Paris walked in to the mess hall, as Neelix greeted him.
 “Good morning, Tom. What can I get you?” Asked the short man.
 “Just coffee, thanks.” Neelix was about to speak, but Tom continued.
“No knew creation, just coffee.”  Neelix smiled, like he always did, and
grabbed a cup. He handed it to Tom, just as more crew members walked in
to be greeted.
 Harry waved Tom over to join Nolan and himself.  Great, Nolan. That
asshole, Tom though. All his feelings of hitting Nolan came back. Calm
down Tommy, he told himself. Maybe he regret everything he did. With
that, Tom sat down beside Kim, across from Nolan.
 “Hello Tom.” Nolan said with a  smile.
 Tom just shook his head, as Harry rolled his eyes.
 “Look Tom, Harry just told me about you and B’Elanna. I’m sorry, I
didn’t know you two were dating. If I did, I would of let her explain.”
 “Is that all your sorry for?” Tom glared at him.
 Nolan looked at Harry, then Tom again.
 “Paris, what the hell are you talking about?”
 “About what you did  to her!” Tom said loudly.
 “What happened between B’Elanna and I is between only us, not you.!”
 With that, Tom punched him hard in the jaw. Nolan flew out of his chair
and Harry grabbed Tom to make sure he wouldn’t attack Nolan more.
 “I’m here now and you better stay away from her!” Tom yelled at Nolan,
as he was taken out f the mess hall. Lt. Carry helped Nolan to sick bay.
 

 B’Elanna entered the befitting room, in time for the meeting, she noted
that Tom and Nolan weren’t there. She took an empty sit next to Chakotay
as almost all eyes were on her.
 “What?” She asked.
 Janeway spoke, “Tom is to remain in his quarters until further notice
for punching Mr. Hunter in the Mess hall.”
 B’Elanna glared at Chakotay, “I never said anything. I though you
should explain.” He answered quickly.
 Then Harry piped in, “Is this about you and Nolan being engaged?”
 “ Then  the reason behind the attack was Lt. Paris was jealous.” Seven
of Nine added.
 “No it wasn’t!” B’Elanna snapped.
 “Then,” Tuvok added, “ would you please explain.”
 B’Elanna looked down, but Chakotay held her hand and started speaking.
 “I was young and still didn’t understand everything. When I got engage,
I though it was the best thing every to happen. Then Nolan started
hitting me.”
 “He what?!” The Captain asked in astounded by this story.
 “Hit me,” B’Elanna continued. “ I wasn’t sure way I stayed with him for
months after that, I was scared to be without him. Then I had enough and
moved out.” Now please let Tom go! She added in her mind.
 “I’m so sorry...” Janeway started, but Lt. Torres interrupted.
 “Will you let Tom go now?”
 “I can honestly say if Paris never hit him I would have.” Chakotay
added
 “I most likely would of too,” Captain Jane way said with a smile to
B’Elanna. “Go tell Tom his off the hook, but keep him away from Mr.
Hunter.
 “Thank you Captain,” said B’Elanna as she headed out the door.

Part 5
 Tom Paris paced around his quarters, not regretting what he had done.
He just hoped B'Elanna would not be mad.  Just then the door charms went
off.
 "Enter," Tom spoke.
 B'Elanna walked in and give him that "start talking" look.
 "I'm sorry," he said right off the bat. "Nolan got me upset and,
well... Ii took maters into my own hands."
 B'Elanna shook her head, while looking at the ground. "I swear Tom,
sometimes I think you have some Klingon blood in you." Then she looked
up and smiled.
 Tom let out a sigh of relief. "So I'm off the hook with you?"
 "Maybe, but your off the hook with the Captain too."
 "Maybe? Guess that means I owe you, right?"
 "Right." B'Elanna moved closer and reached her hands around him.
 "How am I off the hook with the Captain?" Questioned Tom.
 "I told her at the meeting your reasons." She answered, while moving
away from him, to the couch.
 Tom followed her, "I'm sorry Belle, I know you wouldn't have want to
tell everyone." He looked out the window.
 "Hey," she took his head in to her hands. "It wasn't everyone and
besides, it helped to get it in the open. Even the Captain said she
would have punched Nolan herself."
 Tom looked up and smiled as he kissed her on the lips, softly. Which
moved into a harder, more passionate kissed. B'Elanna moved her heads
under Tom's shirt, as his hands rubbed up and down her back. She started
kissing his shoulder and neck, then she looked up and saw a small black
box on the table. B'Elanna pulled away and grabbed the box and held it
out to Tom.
 "You keep it out?" She asked.
 "I keep hoping, one day." Tom spoke with a smile.
 B'Elanna smiled at him, hoping he would get the hint.
 "Come with me," Tom said as he took by the hand and headed out the
door.

 They reached the holodeck 1, Tom holding both B'Elanna and the box.
 "Computer, run Paris-delta26."
 "Enter when ready."
 Tom waved for B'Elanna to go in first, with himself right behind her.
When the doors opened it reveled a jungle full of flowers and a water
fall, which was quiet. Tom lead her  to spot which had a large rock,
with a flower patch around it. He sat B'Elanna on the rock, and he
kneeled down on one leg holding a ring in his hand.
 "B'Elanna, I though you were such a beautiful woman as soon as I saw.
Now I know your the most beautiful girl, in all of space and I  don't
know  how I was lucky enough to have you with me. I never want to be
apart, I want you to know how much I care and love you. Will  you marry
me?" Tom asked in a affectionate voice, while  placing the ring  on her
finger.
 "Yes! And I know that is the answer I should have said the first time."
 B'Elanna slipped off the rock into Tom's arms. She forced him down,
softly, on to the flowers in front of the waterfall.
 "Computer, engage private lock Torres-Alph56."
 "Lock engage."
 B'Elanna moved her head down, to met Tom's lips. The kiss turned
hotter, as Paris flipped B'Elanna on her back. She slowly removed his
shirt, then his pants. Tom slipped Torres' shirt off and undid her bra.
Next he removed her pants and underwear, but B'Elanna already discarded
his. She started kissing his chest, arms and neck, then bit his cheek.
Tom got the idea and bit her right back. Just the beginning to their
fun.
 
 An hour later B'Elanna handed Tom his clothes, but not before giving
him a kiss. When the both got dress,  they headed to sickbay to heal
their cuts.
