Chapter 1:

*T'Aimu's POV*

Morning skies of my father's home planet Vulcan awaken me from my slumber. Slowly my eyes open as I stretch out my limbs to try to wake up my body. I try to not make the everyday daily pain increase with my morning routine.

I bath my body and hair before putting on my everyday outfit. One of the very few things that I stay true to what my mother was. My long dark brown/black hair falls down to small hourglass waist as my dark eyes look at the marks on my arms and legs in sadness.

"I miss you Mommy," I whispered to myself, "I wish you were here to help me with the horrible curse."

"Ko-fu! (Vulcan to English translation: Daughter!)" I hear my father called out for me.

"Ha Sa-mekh! (Vulcan to English translation: Yes Father!)" I called out, existing my room to where he is located.

My father awaits for me with our morning meal. I bow to him before gently placing myself into a position where my cancerous legs will tolerate the pain.

"We must talk about your career."

"What about it Father?" I asked before taking a bite.

"You have recently graduated from medical education," he says, after swallowing his bit of food.

"Oh yes about seven days ago," I remembered the graduation, "do you believe it is time for me to start officially?"

"Yes it is time. I will send a message to the USS Enterprise to see if the captain will allow you to join with your cousin Spock."

"Thank you so much Father," I smiled towards him.

"You are welcome Daughter."

A few days has past and today's the day that I will receive the answer. My mental mind wasn't cooperating with me. It has been such a long time since my last encounter with my cousin. He's more of a brother then a cousin.

I let out a sigh before slowly putting myself into my Vulcan meditation position. Sometimes it will help tolerate my daily pain, but I need my soulmate sooner or later.

"Ko-fu?" my father speaks, entering my room. "I just received news from the Enterprise," he explains his unexpected arrival.

"And their answer…?" I asked, not moving.

"They accepted the request."

"Really?" my eyes opened shocked.

"Yes. Your cousin will return on Vulcan within two days time to pick you up."

"Very well. I know it's an illogical thing, but I will miss you and everyone."

"We will as well. Remember if you have found your soulmate and/or develop feelings toward someone, please make sure that you introduce them to me, Aunt Amanda, and Uncle Savek."

"Understood."

*Meanwhile on the Enterprise*

*No One's POV*

T'Aimu's cousin is working at his station on the Bridge. Crew members are following the suite. Captain Kirk just finish some daily reports before focusing on the Bridge. Dr. Leonard 'Bones' McCoy just happen to get on the Bridge when something enters into Uhura's communication station.

"Captain," she speaks, turning to him, "I'm receiving a recorded message….from Vulcan!"

This information catches the pointy ear of the USS Enterprise's very own Vulcan. He wasn't alarmed as the crew members, but more understanding the meaning of the message.

"Pull it up the screen," Kirk orders.

Uhura sends it to the members, Chekov and Sulu, where they place it on the screen. Replacing the everyday space skies is an older Vulcan, similar to Spock's father, but with long hair that falls down to the base of his neck.

"Greetings I'm Solok," he begins with the Vulcan greeting, "my child has graduated from Vulcan medical education. It is time for the education to turn into a career," he explains. "My nephew, Spock, is to my knowledge a member of the Enterprise. He's the one I can trust in this situation." This got everyone's curiosity. "I would like for my child to be a part of the Enterprise. A second medical doctor." Dr. McCoy's blue eyes widen in shock. "I will be waiting for the answer." And with that the message vanishes.

"Dr. McCoy, Mr. Spock, come to the meeting room with me," Kirk ordered his friends, heading towards the elevator.

Every sort of situation like this must be discussed in the meeting room. Once inside they each take a seat with a different emotion or thoughts. Spock kept calm and emotionless, holding all of the necessary information. Dr. McCoy is shock about what just happened.

"Gentlemen," the captain breaks the tension, "first of all, Spock," he turns to his right, "do you know anything about the message?"

"Oh yes captain," the Vulcan replied, "that's indeed my uncle and he's referring to my medicine cousin."

"But why in the hell would he refer your cousin mostly to me?" Bones exclaimed his strong emotions confused and somewhat angry. "I'm perfectly fine with working Sickbay on my own!"

Dr. McCoy has no nurses or medical assistants because they were either retired or resigned to another location.

"But Bones," Jim speaks to him, "I've came to realize you have been stressed out lately. Maybe you should have extra help," he gives him a suggesting smirk.

"Why do I need extra help?"

"A human's health can easily decrease by stress," Spock joins in, "my cousin always have this passion for medicine since young childhood."

"Does your cousin know other than human health and Vulcan health?" the captain asked, noticing his friend is avoiding the gender of his cousin.

"After studying medicine and different species for forty five years, you can say my cousin knows a thing or two about health."

Kirk takes all of this information for a few moments before making a decision. "Mr. Spock, contact your uncle Solok and inform him that I have accept his offer to have your cousin onboard on the Enterprise as the second doctor."

"Thank you Captain."

At the moment when the Vulcan/Human hybrid disappears from the room, the doctor lashes out on the captain, "are you crazy Jim!?"

"What is it Bones?"

"Having a Vulcan working with me! Dammit Jim I can barely handle having one on the ship!"

"Spock seems to be think highly of his cousin and besides I believe it will make happy to have someone to talk to."

"Happy? He doesn't show any emotions!" the doctor roll his blue eyes.

"Keep an open mind Bones," Captain Kirk smiled to his best friend.
