[edit] Having babies

The most popular pairings for babies in Star Trek: Voyager are Janeway/Chakotay, Paris/Torres and Chakotay/Paris. Janeway/Chakotay and Paris/Torres are the two most popular pairings for the show as a whole and with the addition of Paris/Torres canonically having children, it helped fuel this desire to write them with babies. The Star Trek fandom has also been traditionally one of conservative values of its members. Given that, it is not surprising that babies would be written as an expression of love for pairings that many wanted to see become canon.

Chakotay/Paris is the major m/m slash pairing. When they couple is pregnant, it tends to be a result of mpreg. The story may or may not be humor. This contrasts to f/f slash pairings like Janeway/7 where the characters generally have a medical procedure which results in the child sharing both mothers' dna.
