The year 2374 was a rather eventful one for Tom Paris, mainly because he and B'Elanna Torres grew closer, finally began admitting their feelings for each other, and decided to take their relationship to the next level. They had a rather rocky start, especially because Torres kept pushing him away with her defensive and caustic attitude. On the Klingon Day of Honor, she behaved particularly intolerable towards Paris, who was trying to encourage her to embrace her Klingon side instead of running from it. When she demanded that he leave her alone and angrily snapped, Tom told her, point blank, that, if she kept pushing away those who cared about her, she would end up alone. This struck a chord with Torres, who had been angry for such a long time. They finally admitted their feelings for each other when they were near death, floating in space in EV suits after an away mission gone wrong. Right before Voyager found them and much to Paris' surprise, B'Elanna even admitted that she was in love with Tom. (VOY: "Day of Honor")
B'Elanna's insecurities and her troubled past finally got a hold of her, however, and lead her to withdraw quite a great deal when she and Tom first became close. Tom, who had begun to develop feelings for B'Elanna, often found new ways to spend time with her; he even began to work Klingon martial arts programs with her on the holodeck, even though she was not impressed by the scenarios. Despite her anger issues and strong temper, he remained supportive, patient and engaged. He often encouraged her to embrace her Klingon side such as the time when he asked her whether she had considered to go through with the rituals associated with the Klingon Day of Honor. B'Elanna remained reserved and angry, however, and even though he helped her create the holographic simulation of the ritual, she continued pushing him away, asking to be left alone. A frustrated Tom finally told her that not only was she running away from herself, but that if she kept pushing away those who cared about her, she would indeed be alone all her life. This struck a chord with B'Elanna who, for the first time, recognized the extent to which her constant anger was causing people to want to run for the nearest airlock. (VOY: "Day of Honor")

Despite his patience and willingness to see past her shortcomings, Tom was not always immune to B'Elanna's emotional outbursts and anger and on occasion did express his frustration with her temper, such as the time when he sardonically accused her of apparently only having fun when Klingon pain sticks were involved and that she was being angry twenty-four hours a day. He was also weary of her rather direct and confrontational approach to people and had to hold her back sometime from going too far, such as the time when B'Elanna threatened to break Seven of Nine's nose when she discovered that she was spying on them for educational purposes. (VOY: "Night", "Someone to Watch Over Me") Complications in their relationship lead B'Elanna to consider ending it because she wondered if they really belonged together and realized that merely having a good time occasionally was not enough for her. Tom, however, reaffirmed his love and desire of wanting to be with her and in 2377 they were married. (VOY: "Drive") In 2378, en route a turbulent trip back to Earth, their daughter Miral was born. (VOY: "Endgame")
In the alternate future of the Deep Space Nine Millennium book trilogy, Paris and the rest of the Voyager crew returned to the Alpha Quadrant at an unspecified time. He was married to B'Elanna Torres and both were later assigned to the USS Enterprise-F under Captain William T. Riker. Paris, along with the Enterprise and her crew (including Deanna Troi and Geordi La Forge), was killed during the destruction of Earth in 2388. 2ff7e9595c
