Summary: It's Mother's Day and the kid!trio of Kirk, Spock and McCoy don't know what to give to their moms! Maybe a chance meeting could help them figure it out?

A/N: And yes, I put this under Star Trek: 2009 even if the way I write the characters are more fit to be in TOS. Sorry gaiz.

Amanda Grayson has never regretted marrying Sarek, nor did she ever regret giving birth to their son, Spock.

She never regrets it, even if Spock isn't as open with his feelings as Sybok. Yes, she accepts that Sybok isn't her son in a biological manner, but she still loves him as if he were her own. She knows that this makes Sarek happy, even if he doesn't admit it. Vulcans do tend to be a bit subtle with their feelings, after all. She knows this, and she's fine with it. Who was she to complain when she already knew that her family loves her as much as she does them?

She still remembers the past before she officially married Sarek, how her friends had treated her when they found out about her relationship with the Vulcan, how they absolutely pitied her for falling in love with him, and how they just could not understand her soon-to-be husband. They could never comprehend that she truly loved him, that she wasn't being an 'idiot' for choosing a Vulcan, of all people to fall in love with. She felt angry with them because of those reasons, but she really couldn't stay that way for long. They were her friends since childhood, who stayed with her through thick and thin and loved her. She just needed to understand for herself that her friends were only being clouded by their stereotypical judgment of Vulcans, as they themselves have never felt what it was like to be loved by an ever loyal and loving Vulcan.

Sarek may have looked emotionless to her friends when she first introduced him, but she knew better. He was nervous. She knew from the slight dilation of his eyes, the slight tremble of his fingers when she reached out to hold his hand. He was comforted when she gave him a smile, elated when she pulled out her first two fingers in response to his own…but no one ever took the time to see it. She was the only one who understood how he felt with just the smallest of signs and the most subtle hints, and Sarek was happy with that. In return, he would let her see him as he was: not just a Vulcan, but a man in love with a woman. And she was happy as well.

But she couldn't help from feeling lonely now, what with the recent departure of her husband and sons for her home planet: Earth.

She could have just gone with them, true, but she was so tired...and Sybok had assured her that even if she couldn't come, they would have a surprise ready for her when they returned. She knew that that the surprise wouldn't have been a surprise if she had tagged along, so she left the boys to their fun so she could take the time to relax in their home on Vulcan.

She had to admit though, their Vulcan healers were really good massagers.

Ah, but a long while of being given these massages could be a bit tiring, so she decided to just read a book to pass the time. It was a collection of sonnets by Shakespeare, owned by Spock. She had given it to him as a birthday gift before, not really expecting him to read it as a child. But he did, and he'd already finished it all. She couldn't help but feel proud that he took the time to read it, seeing as it wasn't an actual Vulcan creation. He had remarked, "It is logical to read literature from where I may gain knowledge of your home planet, mother." But she knew that he only meant, "I enjoyed it." Vulcans just have to make things more complicated, don't they?

"We've returned, mother!"

Sybok's excited voice echoed from the front door and she stood up, sighing in relief that her boys had finally returned home. "Welcome home," she greeted in a gentle yet cheery manner as she let them inside, "how was the trip?"

Sarek inclined his head in response, pulling out his first two fingers first to share a Vulcan kiss with Amanda before replying, "It was a most interesting excursion." His wife could only smile amusedly in response to that, rubbing their fingers together for a bit before pulling back to look at her sons. "I believe that it was also a gratifying experience for these two."

"It was an enjoyable trip, mother. Your home planet is full of wonderful objects that I would be interested in studying." Sybok commented with a happy nod, not caring for the look his father shot at him as he smiled. Amanda rolled her eyes at this, patting the boy's hair as she nodded in agreement. "Spock liked it too, didn't you, little brother?" Sybok nudged the smaller boy at that, smiling when a flash of green on Spock's cheeks appeared.

"I...found your home planet very fascinating, mother." Spock muttered softly, a bit tense with Sybok's hand on his shoulder. "I met two human males and their actions were....most interesting." He inclined his head at that, looking up at Amanda as he asked, "What does it mean to connect your smallest finger to another's, mother?"

Amanda laughed softly at that, closing the door behind them as she led Spock to sit with her on the couch. "It is a sign of promise, dear. You do that when you promise something to someone." She smiled as she stroked Spock's hair, nodding for Sybok to sit beside her as well. "Why do you ask? Did you see someone doing it from your trip?"

Spock started fidgeting with her question, which was when she noticed that he still held his hands behind his back up until the time he sat on the couch. She made no comment about this, however, as Spock murmured, "One of the children I met asked me to do it. He said that I should meet with them again, mother." Sarek quirked an eyebrow at that statement as he remained standing behind the couch where his wife and children sat, hands behind his back as he listened quietly to their conversation.

"Oh, he said that?" Amanda spoke with a hint of amusement as she glanced at Spock's arms, his hands still hidden behind his back as he looked with curiosity up at her. "It's nice to know that you've been making friends, Spock." She smiled knowingly at the slightly confused look on her younger son's face, chuckling softly as she noticed Sybok smiling as well. "Is there something you have to tell me as well, Sybok?"

"Happy Mother's Day." Sybok spoke cheerily as he held out a bouquet of flowers to her, grin widening as he noticed the surprised-slash-delighted look on his mother's face. "Do you like them?"

Amanda accepted the bouquet with a gentle smile, speaking in a whisper, "They're beautiful, dear. Thank you. But how..?"

"Earth is not the only planet celebrating Mother's Day, Amanda." Sarek answered in his usual calculating manner, though it looked rather odd as he held out a teddy bear to her. "From what I recall, you said before that you 'adored' these…cotton-stuffed playthings." He furrowed his eyebrows at the odd description but took no notice of it when his wife accepted the gift, though she was laughing faintly while doing so. It wasn't often that Sarek so much as bought her presents just because of an occasion, after all.

"I made these chocolates for you, mother." Spock spoke neutrally, but she could hear the slight waver in his voice. He hesitantly brought his hands out in front of her, earning a small gasp of surprise from his mother as she saw the heart-shaped box with a card attached to it in his hands. "Do you not like it?"

Amanda could practically hear the disappointment in his voice, though it was quick to disappear when she rushed out, "No, honey, I think your gift is lovely! Can I have a taste?"

"Of course, mother. It is yours, after all." Spock nodded as he handed her the gift, watching with curiosity as she made to open the card attached to the front first. To my mother, whom I love and care deeply for. Lovingly yours, Spock, it read, and she couldn't help but feel more warmth spreading through her insides. It was made by her son; how could she not appreciate it?

She smiled as she took off the cover off the box, taking one of the truffles from inside and biting into it with carefulness. There was a pause as she tasted the chocolate in her mouth, feeling the outer hardness break as she tasted another softer layer of chocolate before she hummed in appreciation, smiling widely as she exclaimed, "These are delicious, dear!" She laughed softly when she saw the sudden brightness in Spock's eyes, if not also because of the happiness practically radiating from her family. "Thank you so much." She patted away the tears brimming from her eyes as she noticed the subtle worried look on Spock's face, making her smile as she patted him and Sybok on the head. "I'm just so happy, really." She placed kisses on both her son's foreheads, laughing a bit when Spock went green in the face before placing a chaste kiss on her husband's lips. "I love you boys. So, so much."

Sarek gave her a small but still visible smile at that, stroking her hair as he replied, "We love you too, t'hy'la. Happy Mother's Day."

Sybok nodded as well with a grin, giving her a brief hug and a kiss on the cheek as he exclaimed, "Happy Mother's Day!"

And last but not the least was Spock, who gave her an almost-too-quick-to-be-seen kiss on the cheek as he murmured, "Happy Mother's Day."

Her family may not be the most expressive of all creatures (an exception being Sybok, the sweetie that he is), but she still loved them.

She'd never give them up for the world.

A/N: Happy Mother's Day! :D Haha, this may be a bit late but hey, better late than never, right?

This idea kept bugging me while I was out of the house, ffft. I just had to write it. I'm planning on making this multi-chaptered but guys, do review to let me know if this is a bad idea or not! It would be a waste to continue when no one wants to read it anyway, yeah?

But, er, yeah. If I do continue, each chapter will be in their mothers' POV. I don't know yet if I'm going to add an extra to the end where it explains how McCoy, Spock and Kirk met…so if you guys want that, just let me know!

Also, another question: Who should I do next? Kirk or McCoy?

Another thing: I love Sybok. Pffft. I just watched The Final Frontier and I swear, even if the plot is a bit…meh, I still loved it. I was just so amused with the knowledge that Sulu and Chekov had shore leave together. lDd

One last thing: I'm so sorry for not updating my other fic yet, fffff. It's just so hard to decide what to do next with it is all. xDD orz
