George Kirk watched as his wife was screaming as they pulled her and their new born boy away . ' You must go.' he told her as they got her in the escape pod .He watched as they pulled away from the starship and he sat there taking a deep breath .

Looking out across at the viewing screen and he knew he had to stay behind . I'm sorry Jim that was your name now . I'm sorry I won't see you become the man I know could be or will be . But your my son your Jim Kirk and you will become what I know you can be , look to your mother for inspiration comfort and above all love .

Be the man I know you can be, remember if I know you will be a starship Captain listen too those around you they are there because they know what they are capable of . I'm sorry son . My wife my love . I will miss you both .As the escape pod pulled away she looked outside and saw the starship explode before them then she smile looking at her son now .

Then watching as the starship exploded she thought she saw the face of George looking down at them and smiling. ' Your name is Jim Kirk,' she told her son and as the starship was no more her thoughts began to focussed on how she was going to raise her son .How both were going to live now . They had planned their lives accordingly but now George was gone and it was her and Jim now .

Jim reached out and touched her face and she cried .
