Chapter 1- Spock

I showered and lay down in our bed beside Nyota. I wrapped my arm gently around her waist. The two month vacation on Earth had been most productive. While on Earth we received confirmation of her pregnancy. I remembered the moment when her doctor told us she was pregnant again.

"Well guys you are pregnant again." Dr. Manor exclaimed.

"Let me guess. Twins right?" Nyota said with a smile but I could tell she was being sarcastic.

"Yes. I truly don't know how the two of you do it. It's highly irregular unless you're taking some kind of fertility drug you are not informing me of." Dr. Manor said with a side glance at me.

Nyota laughed and looked at me. She placed a gentle hand over her belly and lay back fully on the exam table.

"No Dr. Manor it's all natural. It's just that my husband has well…" she paused as I shifted uncomfortably. "He has what I call super sperm and I seem to only get pregnant after something very traumatic happens to us and this time was no different. I just think the adrenaline has something to do with it." she smiled and held my hand.

She began to draw her small circles and I was comforted and relaxed. I could not deny however that her theory was one that warranted study. Twins are highly irregular amongst Vulcans and she has no recent family history of twins in her family. My mother's family has no history of twins. So how was it that we came to now have three sets of twins?

Nyota looked at me and smiled.

"Spock, babe I love you but I'm serious after I have these babies you're never having sex with me again. I might let you die next time you go through Pon Farr." She said laughing.

I said nothing in response and lifted my right eyebrow and she trembled in my hand.

"I suppose that I should get my fill of you then while you are still pregnant." I whispered in her ear.

I laid a light kiss on her ear lobe and she shivered. I pulled away from her slowly. She looked up at me with want and passion in her eyes. Dr. Manor turned her attention back to us.

"Take this padd and give it to the ship's doctor for the regimen I want you on. Uhura I need you to take it easy with this pregnancy. You have carried two previous sets and with the high stress of being in deep space your uterine wall is thinner than I would like it to be and that is rather dangerous. So just be very careful out there." The doctor said seriously and I could feel Nyota tremble again this time in fear.

I ran my finger across the middle of her hand to comfort her and she stopped trembling.

Her hand intertwining in mine pulled me from the memory. Softly my forehead connected with the back of her head and I kissed her neck. I drew small circles on her belly. I loved her pregnancies they always seemed to bring us closer. We lay in silence and I went back to thinking of the theory of how we always conceive twins. When Gray and Amanda were conceived I was grieving the loss of my planet and mother, Soren and Skylar after we suffered the loss of a child and now this set of twins during Pon Farr.

"What are you thinking about?" She questioned sleepily.

"Everything." I answered and kissed her neck again.

She turned to face me and smiled. My arm draped around her waist with my hand landing on her back. Her forehead connected with mine and she smiled.

"Gray and Mandy are so excited about tomorrow they can't wait to officially put on their uniforms." She said happily.

While on Earth the two of them made the decision that they wanted to be in Starfleet. Amanda was going into the medical field she wanted to be a psychologist so she could be a ship's counselor. Nyota thinks that she just wants to be able to use her telepathy. With no surprise Gray chose engineering.

"Spock are you upset that neither of them chose to be science officers?" she questioned looking into my eyes.

"No. They chose what felt right to them. However knowing the two of them once they get their degrees they'll change their minds and study something else. They are always in the quest for knowledge. Or maybe they will be satisfied with the fields they have chosen." I answered.

My lips brushed against hers and she smiled.

"I fear that people will say that Starfleet played favoritism to let them in so young because of who you are and the connections you have. Their careers will be difficult and I still say they're too young but I couldn't fight the three of you so we'll see." She said with her tone turning serious.

"They have entered Starfleet on their own merit and the people who matter their teachers aboard this ship know that. Amanda and Grayson have their whole lives to prove themselves." I replied.

"Spock they're growing…." She took a long pause and her expression changed. "Move." She said climbing over me and leaping out the bed.

She ran into the bathroom and sat beside the toilet. I followed her and sat beside her. I held her hair from her mouth. With my free hand I wet a wash cloth with cold water and placed it on the back of her neck. I grabbed one of her hair ties and put her hair into a ponytail but did not pull it through all the way so that it wouldn't fly into her face. These tricks we learned during the pregnancy with Soren and Skylar.

As she heaved more into the toilet I stood and went to get her some ice water, mouth wash, and chamomile tea with lemon. I placed everything on the sink and took my spot next to her again. I sat with my back against the wall and spread my legs. After ten minuets of vomiting she slumped over the toilet. I grabbed the ice water and poured some on the wash cloth. She leaned against me and I wrapped my arms around her. I kissed the side of her forehead and ran the wash cloth along her face and down her neck.

She exhaled deeply with her hand on her ever growing belly. She drank the water quickly. I took the glass and handed her the mouthwash then the tea.

"That was really bad this time." I commented as she handed me the empty tea cup.

"Yeah it was. I wasn't this sick with any of the other kids. This is horrible I hope this morning sickness doesn't last much longer." She said sadly and I felt guilty.

I ran the back of my hand across her face.

"See why I said if males had to be pregnant every species would have died out before they could get started." She said with a smile.

"Your observation is correct. I could not do what you do." I said honestly.

Her body always stretched to its limits and the being sick and giving birth. I shook my head just thinking about it. I stood picked her up carrying her to the bed and laying her down softly. She lay on her side facing me. I slid into the bed and stretched my arm which she laid her head on. I folded that arm pushing her closer to me. Her head lay on my chest. One of her chocolate legs lay in the middle of my legs.

"Thank you." I said in almost a whisper because she was drifting off to sleep.

"For what Spock?"

"For all that you put your body through to bring our children to life." I said with my lips against her forehead.

"Not something I have to be thanked for Spock. This is our family. You'll still love me when my body doesn't bounce back into shape anymore right?" she questioned with a smile against my neck.

"Of course. I'll always love you." I responded honestly.

"You better." She said softly and then her eyes closed.

She was asleep the soft snoring confirmed it. When we first began to share a bed the snoring bothered me. But as time went by the snoring turned into a lullaby for me and I often found I could not sleep without it.
