This is going to be a series of one shots about the Kirk family. They aren't in chronological order or anything like that, I'm just writing them to keep those plot bunnies happy (speaking of bunnies, I'm cross at my pet bunny. Just thought I'd mention that). This first one is a fluffy number about Jim and Flora's (Flora is an OC of my own invention) first child.

"She's so… small."

"Well what did you expect? She's a newborn baby!" said Flora, slapping her husband lightly on the chest with the little bit of energy she could muster.

"What are we going to call her? I vote Jamesina." The look Jim was given by his wife could have turned milk sour. "Joking."

"Glad to hear it. We could name her after someone?"

"How about your mom?"

"I don't know. Kathleen Kirk doesn't really sound right. What about your mom?"

"Hmm, I don't know. My mom wasn't exactly there for me."

"Okay, so we move onto friends, sisters and grandmothers."

"Friends might get a bit confusing since they're all here, I don't have a sister, and my grandmothers both had embarrassing names. What about you?"

"I always thought my Nan on my dad's side had a nice name. Patricia."

"I like it. We could call her Tricia for short. Kathleen as a middle name?"

"I'm beginning to think you have a strange obsession with my mother's name! But Patricia Kathleen Kirk certainly does have a ring to it."

"So, that's settled then. Patricia Kirk."

"Yes. Now, do you want to hold her, because I really need to sleep." Despite the fact that he knew Flora needed to sleep, he was reluctant to hold the hour old baby.

"I don't know. What if I drop her?"

"I'm confident that you wont." Flora passed Tricia to a nervous looking Jim before falling asleep fairly rapidly.

Patricia was the spitting image of her mother, apart from her big blue eyes (and yes, they knew that most newborns have blue eyes, but you can generally tell if they're going to change colour, and Tricia's didn't look that way). She had very fine, red curly hair. The curls had, at first, shocked them a bit, and Bones had just laughed and said she was certainly her mother's daughter.

Jim thought it was adorable the way she grabbed his fingers and held them tightly. He was still marvelling at the infants strength when Bones walked in. "Come up with a name yet?" He asked quietly, careful not to wake Flora.

"Patricia Kathleen Kirk. After Flora's grandmother."

"It suits her. How's Flora?"

"Exhausted, but who could blame her? She's asleep now, as you may have noticed."

"I did. Flora and Patricia should be discharged in about two days."

"Good. We both know how much Flora hates being stuck in bed!"

"I've said it before and I'll say it again: you two are perfect for each other."

Okay, so what did everyone think? Reviews would be lovely and I'll accept constructive criticism, but I'll try and work out how to delete flame-y reviews, they're not nice after you've put effort into something. Anyhow, hope you all enjoyed this, and I'll update whenever I can.
