A/N: This is my first story written for any of the Star Trek categories! I figured, hell, might as well do something cute and fluffy for my greeting into writing for the lovely fandom!
Disclaimer: I do not own Star Trek, but I do own the lyrics of the lullaby used within the one-shot. :)
Update 5/31/13: This will just now be the first of more one-shots like this. The other one-shots may not all, or even any of them for that matter, contain their own invented songs for them specifically. Coming up with this song was decently hard despite how easy the lyrics seemed to have been come up with.
At first, it would be just darkness beside for slightly muffled crying of a baby could be heard and, a moment later, a door would be pushed open to reveal a usual looking nursery for a Vulcan child, though there were added touches of some Terran stuffed animals, and picture books sitting on the nightstand next to the crib. The room was illuminated by a casual lamp.
"Well, my dear husband, are you having trouble getting our lovely child lulled back to sleep?" Amanda Grayson's voice would ask from behind the camera she held with a teasing tone easily heard within her words. "It does appear as such. For some odd reason, my usual brushing of fingers along Spock's psi points to project feelings of security and comfort have not been able to grant the goal I wish of getting him to return to resting." A far young Sarek of Vulcan would reply, turning to face towards his wife, who was holding the video recording device, and allowing the baby half-Vulcan cradled in his arms to come into view. The infant looked, roughly, between six and ten months Terran age.
A soft, gentle sigh could be heard by the mother of the infant off-screen, and then the object being used to record was set down on a surface, likely a table in the room before she'd walk into the view of the camera and over towards her husband and child. "I figured as much, considering you usually have him calmed back down in five minutes, and it's been fifteen. It looks like we'll just need to do a combo-attack of our techniques to get our little Spock back to sleep." Amanda would say casually, and the adult male on screen would arch an eyebrow (likely due to the phrase his wife had used, though he didn't question it) but still allowed her to gently take their son into her arms instead.
Sarek would move his fingers, gently placing them against the crying baby boy's psi points, and the woman on screen would smile up at him before looking down at her son in her arms.
"Sweet child, please close your eyes. The stars are twinkling, high in the sky. It is late, that much is true; so let the slumber, gently take you."
The crying would begin to soften at Amanda's gentle singing voice, though soft whimpers and sniffles could be heard with the occasional hiccup from the baby half Vulcan.
"Sleep little one, for I am here for you. And you're father; you know he's here too."
The baby boy's cries ending completely now, the softest of coo-sounding yawns could be heard leaving the child, and both human mother and Vulcan father alike would appear to wear a relieved look at the fact their child was almost back to sleep.
"Sweet baby of ours, please don't weep; when you cry, your father and I worry too much to sleep. Fall into dreams, with these honest words from me; though he can't admit this as easily as I, we'll love you forever more, so please sleep. There's no need to cry..."
By the time the last notes left her lips, the baby resting in Amanda's arms would be asleep, and the woman would smile happily. "You're thought process on how to handle our son when he is inconsolable is never anything less than fascinating, my wife..." Sarek would mutter in a level tone, and Amanda would bite her lip to stifle a giggle as she looked up at her husband with a smile alight her features. The Vulcan male would stare down at her a moment, and the lightest upward twitches of his lips could be seen before, with two soft beeps, the camera's battery would run out of its energy and the scene would end.
