Author's Notes:

This is my first fic I'm putting up so I hope it doesn't suck too bad.

This is all leading to Spock/Bones so just stay tuned! A McKirk kiss in this first chapter but thats all.

Also this happens in the TOS universe so Amanda is still alive because I refuse to believe that she is dead! Long live Spock's mom! :D

Leonard was happy for him, he honestly was. He was very grateful that the green-blooded Vulcan had finally gotten himself a boyfriend. Spock needed someone else to talk science with and more importantly someone else to bug! Leonard was glad to finally get some peace and quiet and he was even gladder when Spock's relationship went to the next level.

"Doctor, Captain," Spock began.

"Spock, call me Jim!" Jim insisted for the umpteenth time.

"Doctor, Jim; Joel and I are getting married. He proposed to me earlier today, over dinner." Spock blushed a delicate shade of green as he held up his hand with the engagement ring.

Big smiles spread across the faces of the other two men. "Congratulations, Spock!" said McCoy.

Jim stood up and gave his first officer and best friend a big hug. "Aw, come 'er! Congratulations, we're happy for you, buddy!" Jim grinned. Spock normally would have tensed at such an invasion of his personal space but after being in a romantic relationship with an emotional human for over a year, he had gotten used to such displays of affection.

"So, when's the big day?" asked McCoy as Jim and Spock sat down on the couch next to him.

"We have not planned the wedding yet. We are hoping to do a traditional Earth ceremony on Vulcan as to please both of us," said Spock.

"Logically," McCoy quipped.

"But first I would like to take Joel back to Vulcan to meet my parents. I wish for them to know their future son-in-law."

"Are you sure your dad is going to approve of you marrying a human?" asked Jim, concerned.

Spock hesitated as if picking his words carefully and then quietly said, "I do not anticipate my father approving of this marriage. He did not wish for me to join Starfleet and he did not nurture my human side as I grew up. And now I am marrying a very human Starfleet officer."

"But your dad married a human! He started the whole damn idea of a Vulcan marrying a human!" argued McCoy. Sometimes that Sarek guy really pissed him off and this was one of those times.

"Indeed. But I suppose everyone is illogical in some aspect," said Spock.

"Wow, Jim, did you hear that? He admitted Vulcan's can be illogical!" said McCoy in false amazement.

Kirk chuckled. "I think Joel's helped him see the light."

"Indeed."

The three men turned around as the door to Spock's quarters opened, letting in a substantially colder blast of air and Spock's fiancé, Doctor Joel Winson. "Hey, guys, Spock tell you our big announcement yet?" asked Joel.

"Yes, I have informed them of our engagement," said Spock, standing to embrace his husband-to-be. They touched their fingers together in a Vulcan kiss as they made their way back over to the couch.

"Spock, honey, let's have a winter wedding! I don't want to pass out from heat during the ceremony," said Joel flashing his charming green-blue eyes at Spock.

"That sounds most logical. However, beloved, winter on Vulcan is fast approaching. Unless you wish to wait another year, we would have to act quickly."

"I'd marry you today!" Joel smiled. "We don't need anything big and fancy with a lot of planning and stressful preparations. All we need is each other and our family and friends." He turned and gestured at Jim and Leonard.

"If you really wish to get married quickly then we shall have to plan a trip to Vulcan as soon as possible so you can meet my parents," said Spock. "Jim, is it at all possible for us to take a detour to Vulcan sometime within the next 31 days?"

"Actually, Spock, we have shore leave in three weeks. We can certainly take it on Vulcan if you'd like. That'd give your parents plenty of time to meet Joel. And perhaps time enough for Sarek to warm up to the idea…" said Jim hopefully.

Spock shook his head. "I'm afraid my father is set in him ways."

Joel looked up into his Vulcan's eyes. "I don't want to cause any problems, sweetie, is there anything I can do to make him like me better?"

"No, it is not your fault for being human. It is Sarek's problem for not accepting that I am half human and therefore will engage in human behavior, such as marrying another human," Spock explained gravely.

"Don't worry so much about it, Joel. Spock and Sarek have been fighting for as long as I've known 'em. It ain't you. So just get married and be happy regardless of what your father-in-law thinks," McCoy advised him.

"Thanks, Leonard."

"No problem, kid. Now I guess Jim and I should be going. It's getting late," the doctor observed.

"Yeah, Bones is right. But thanks for having us over, Spock," said Kirk, stretching as he got off the couch and prepared to leave the warm comfort of the Vulcan's quarters.

"It was my pleasure, Cap—Jim."

"Night, Spock. Night, Joel," said McCoy as he and Jim exited.

"Wow," said Jim as soon as the door closed behind them.

"I know! I can't believe he's getting married! To a human!" exclaimed McCoy.

"He went from not showing any emotions to falling in love! But I knew it was bound to happen someday," bragged Kirk.

"Oh, yeah right."

"No, really! Not even Vulcans are immune to the power of love!"

"He's really fallen in love," Bones sighed. "Our little Vulcan grew up, Jim!"

By then they had reached the door to Doctor McCoy's quarters. "I can't wait for the wedding! It's gonna be so great! I just really hope Sarek doesn't ruin it for him," said Jim.

"Yeah… We'll worry about that when the time comes, Jimmy, but right now I need some sleep and so do you so go to bed."

Jim smiled at Bones's way of saying 'sweet dreams' and pulled him in for a quick platonic kiss on the lips. Jim was flirty and touchy-feely with everyone; it was just his way, so of course he would kiss his best friend! "Goodnight to you too, Bones."

As Jim walked down the corridor and to his own room, he thought about what Bones had said. He was right; they wouldn't be going to Vulcan for three more weeks. No use worrying about something so far away and out of his control.

Little did Jim know just how much things could change in three weeks.
