A/N: Okay so this little thing just popped into my head one day, finally finished it, just thought I would post it. Leonard and Spock are Jim's adopted children at seven years old. They all live together in an apartment, same year as Star Trek AOS, Jim isn't a Captain.
Tough Days
"Leonard are you sure this is wise?"
"Of course not Spock," Leonard said with a sly grin," doesn't mean it ain't gonna be fun. An stop talkin' like a dang computer," he shakes his head.
"I am simply trying to caution you."
Spock and Leonard poured the bucket of water on top of the sleeping man with blond hair on the bed.
"Ahhh!", Jim yelped and started choking. "What the hell was that for guys!?"
Spock and Leonard both looked at each other, one with wide eyes the other with a cheerful expression.
"We didn't want you to be late for work today", Leonard said sheepishly and rubbed the back of his neck while rocking on the balls of his feet.
"Well that would have been really helpful", Jim started in a quiet voice," if it wasn't Saturday!"
The two kids looked at each other and quickly tried to flee back to their own room. Unfortunately Jim was much older and grabbed the boys by their waists and dropped them onto the mattress and started laughing.
"That was a good one guys who told you to try that one, Uncle Scotty?"
"Pshh no, Spock came up with it," Leonard pointed a thumb in Spock's direction and looked around the room.
Spock let out a small sigh, "Please don't lie to father Leonard," Spock shook his head at the floor then looked up at Jim ,"Leonard looked up some pranks on your PADD while you were at work yesterday morning.
"Well thank you for your honesty Spock," Jim smiled down at the seven year old Vulcan child and started to take off his wet shirt and shook his hair back and forth, sending water droplets on Leonard.
"Am I in trouble?", Leonard asked Jim with his bottom lip sticking out in a childish pout while looking down and kicking his foot around.
"Ha, no that's nothing to get in trouble over. 'Sides you guys know I could never stay mad at you two for long," Jim replied good-naturedly and ruffled both of the boys hair after throwing his shirt into the hamper.
Leonard grinned big and asked, "Can we have waffles now?"
Jim shrugged," Sure, that alright with you Spock?"
Spock nodded once, his bowl cut bouncing around his ears," It is acceptable father."
Leonard patted Spock on the shoulder," Alright! Race you to the kitchen Spock!", Leonard took off like a rocket out of the bedroom.
Spock flinched and looked a little irritated, but followed after him nonetheless.
Jim sighed, shook his head, but chuckled all the same. His boys may have been average childish boys, but they were his. And that's what made all of the tough days worth all the while.
