Title: His Father's Son
Fandom: Star Trek 2009
Summary: Jim doesn't know his a Kirk.
Written in response to this prompt at the kinkmeme: After George dies, Winona leaves Star Fleet, turns her back on everyone and chages her and Jim's last names. She pretty much disappears and while Pike tries to find her, she covers her tracks, because she doesn't want George's former lover to have any contact with George's son. She never tells Jim that he's a Kirk - let's say she marries Frank when Jim is just a year old and Jim grows up thinking that Frank is his real father. He's childhood isn't great, Frank is an ass, his mother is distant, and he just figures neither of them wanted him. His mother never acknowledges his birthday, but he has no idea why and he only knows what learns about George Kirk in school. Eventually, he ends up joining Star Fleet, because he figures he's got nothing to lose. He mets McCoy the same way he did, in the movie, and when Pike sees him, in knows in an instant that Jim is George Kirk's son. How it plays out there is up to anon, but I'd like Pike to take an interest in Kirk and eventually, Jim learns the truth about George being his father. Anon can decide if the truth comes out before or after the events of the movie. A Kirk/McCoy relationship would make my little heart so very happy.
Pairings: Kirk/McCoy, Implied George Kirk/Chris Pike, Spock/Uhura

A/N: This series was started over 3 years ago but unfortunately went on hiatus. By the power of a maybe drunken new year's resolution, this was made possible. So the story is done but updates will be posted every other day so that I can put some final touches on each chapter. So, please bear with me.

His Father's Son
Prologue
She turned her back on everything. Got rid of everything that had to do with Starfleet and a once happy life that revolved around space and the man she once loved. A man who had sacrificed her life for her and eight hundred other people.
Including their only son.
As their medical shuttle got rescued by another starship, she made herself and the bundle in her arms scarce. When they made it back to Earth she was one of the first ones off the vessel, hiding under a hooded robe with James Tiberius tucked snuggly by her breast.
No one had heard from Winona Kirk ever again.
-ooOoo-
The hum of the Corvette's engine soothed his nerves as it ran at almost a hundred miles per hour over a long strip of Oklahoman road. The comm buzzed and his father's infuriated voice boomed inside the car. Words that threatened didn't faze him. It never did. It's not as if his father cared. He's never felt love from the man he called 'dad' ever since he was old enough to remember.
"Wait 'til your mother gets home from work tonight. You are in so much trouble."
The young boy behind the wheel rolled his eyes in irritation. They'd be lucky if his mom came home tonight. Then they'd probably have a decent meal. Not something from a take-out menu that's been sitting behind the cans of beer in the fridge since last week.
He switched off his father's grating voice and floored the accelerator. He can barely see the open road in front of him but he definitely saw the cop in the hoverbike that tried to hail him. He headed for the quarry, almost losing the policeman as he made a sharp turn. He kept his foot on the pedal even as the edge got nearer and nearer. He bailed out at the last second and sent his father's most prized possession careening down a cliff.
When the policeman dared to ask his name. He didn't refuse to answer. Only, he wished he had a different name.
Because James T. Elcott never sounded so foreign to his own ears.
