[#169 Homestead]

Neelix and the Voyager crew come upon a Talaxian colony settled under the surface of an asteroid. The colony, however, is threatened with destruction by a group of alien miners who want the asteroid's minerals. Neelix meets and falls in love with Dexa who, with her young son Brax, lives in the colony. Neelix helps the colony establish a defence perimeter which keeps the miners out. Although Neelix returns to Voyager, he is very torn - he loves Dexa and wants to live with her but he has obligations and responsibilities on Voyager. These include looking after Naomi, who is his god-daughter. But when he visits her and offers to read her a bedtime story, she tells him that she has grown up - she is signalling that she does not need him in the way she used to and that he is therefore free to leave Voyager if he wants.
Neelix: "Hi."
Naomi: "Neelix."
Neelix: "What are you working on?"
Naomi: "A report on proto-humanoid cultures for Commander Chakotay's palaeontology class."
Neelix: "Erm, need some help?"
Naomi: "I'm almost finished."
Neelix: "Do you have time for a game of kadiskot?"
Naomi: "I have to get up early."
Neelix: "Oh. I guess you'd better get to sleep then. Do you want me to tuck you in? Tell you a bedtime story?"
Naomi: "You haven't done that in years."
Neelix: "Just think of all the stories you've missed."
Naomi: "Thanks, Neelix, but I can put myself to bed. I'm not a little girl any more."
