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?


Winona Kirk has always loved George Kirk. Always.

It was understandable that she'd felt miserable when he died on the USS Kelvin, worsened with the fact that she had only given birth to their son James. Hell, she'd been broken-hearted when she realized that he intended to sacrifice his self just to ward away the Romulan ship from her and their other evacuating crewmates.

It was just so unfair.

She was pregnant with their son and he had to go off to be a fucking hero. She loved him, she truly did, but she just couldn't accept it.

Sure, George became known as a legend because of his heroic deed- but she didn't want her husband to be a dead legend. She didn't want to love someone who'd already left her for death's door. It felt a bit like betraying him when she re-married, yes, but there was nothing else she could do to make sure that Jimmy and Sam were cared for. Even if Frank was the last choice she wanted to take as a husband, the man would have to do.

Until the time that her children were old enough to live on their own, she'll just have to put up living with him.

But yes, it was undeniable that Frank was an alcoholic bastard. She would have to be blind to not see it. But she couldn't divorce with him just yet, seeing as she needed a man to work for her. Well, that sounded a bit…bitchy, but it was true. If only she didn't need to live with the guy, she'd kick him where it hurts just to make him feel what it was like when her older son ran away.

It was a good thing that Sam was smart, though. He knew that she knew that Frank was just that: an alcoholic bastard. It certainly gave her relief when he called back home after leaving to tell her where he was staying, and that he was sorry for having to run away but he just couldn't stand his 'ass of a stepfather.' She didn't deny that she actually laughed at that last part, nor could she deny that she cried a bit after he called. Her sons really loved her, and she had to repay them by picking the most horrid stepfather ever. It practically sounded like a fairytale when she thought about it, and while that sounded absolutely lovely to some other people...she couldn't help but think that her life was too fucked up already to become a children's story.

Enough of the past, Winona! She scolded herself mentally as she went back to drinking her coffee, sighing as she felt the warm and bitter taste spread through her mouth. It was a relief that Frank wasn't at home today, as he was out working- or flirting with some women half her age, probably. She could never tell which since he looked drunk either way.

Oh, but Sam's gift to me for Mother's Day was really lovely. She remembered cheerily as she sipped at her coffee. Just seeing him again had been enough, really, but he had to buy her a bouquet of flowers. He even explained to her the meaning of each one: Gladiolus for respect, Statice to show that he missed her, pink Carnations for love and gratitude and Violets for devotion.

She knew that he was embarrassed when she suddenly started bawling at him, hugging him so hard that it was almost enough to choke him while saying through sniffles, "Oh my god, honey –sniff- this is the most wonderful gift ever –sniff- thank you so, so much!" But she had to hand it to him; he was really good with the ladies. Which made her wonder if he had a girlfriend already, what with his charm and all, but she refrained from asking so as not to ruin the moment.

But still, it disappointed her a bit when Jimmy left early in the morning without coming back- up until the afternoon. What could that boy be doing that required leaving her all alone in the house? She sighed. Some boys just don't realize how hard it is on their mothers when they're being reckless, do they?

Then suddenly- "Mom! I'm back!"

She rolled her eyes when she heard Jimmy's sing-song voice coming from the window, not even bothering to stop him when he bounded in through the windowsill and left the window open. "Where have you been, James Tiberius Kirk?" She scolded with less anger than usual, as she had already become accustomed to him being so troublesome. Not to say that she liked it, though.

"Does that mean you don't want your gift?" Jimmy replied with his innocent face, fluttering his eyelids as his mother gave a snort of amusement at him. "Aw, mom, I already know how pretty I am. You don't have to tell me."

"Oh right." Winona laughed as she ruffled her younger son's hair, not caring for the annoyed yelp he gave when she did so. She wasn't exactly a model mother herself, but hey, who else could say that they became a Starfleet officer and married Lieutenant Commander George Kirk?

Yeah, thought so.

"Now where's my gift, young man?" She teased Jimmy as she reclined in her chair, leaning forward to look at him with a raised eyebrow. "Did you really buy me a gift?"

"I made it, thank you very much." Jimmy sniffed in disbelief as he handed her a dark brown box with a ribbon on top. "Oh," he blinked as he pulled out a bouquet from his back, "and these. Spock said that daisies meant beauty, and, well, since you're my mom, I'd know that you're pretty!" He finished with a grin as he handed the bouquet to her, afterwards blinking in confusion when she started tearing up. "You don't like them?"

"Oh, Jimmy..." She sighed as she patted away the tears from her eyes. "This is the most wonderful gift ever. Other than your brother's gift, but really, thank you." She smiled as she hugged him, not caring for the small noises of protest he made about 'being manly' and 'not wanting any hugs.'

"Well, it's supposed to be wonderful!" He exclaimed with a grin as he wiggled away from her grasp. "Leo told me that girls liked flowers, and Spock helped me choose which ones to pick, so they both helped me!"

"I know about Leonard, but who's Spock?" She asked with a quirked eyebrow while opening the box of chocolates Jimmy gave her. "A new friend?"

Jimmy grinned wider at that, bouncing on his feet as he nodded eagerly. "Mmhmm! He's really smart and nice, but a little weird." He paused as he looked up at the ceiling, as if pondering, "He had pointy ears." He returned to grinning again as he looked back at Winona, "But they were really cool! Did you know that Vulcans have pointy ears?"

Winona could only laugh as she watched Jimmy bouncing happily around, nibbling a bit on the white chocolate he had given to her as she replied, "I didn't know that, honey. When can I meet him?"

"Oh." Jimmy murmured as if his balloon suddenly got deflated, sticking his arms into his pants' pockets as he rocked back and forth on his heels. "I don't really know. He told me that he was just visiting to get a gift for his mom...I hope the three of us can get together again, though." He smiled again, determined as he exclaimed, "Me, Spock, and Leo! We could all have a camping trip when he returns and..."

She remained silent as she listened to him intently, rambling about the adventures the three of them would have when Spock returned from his planet and how it would be nice if they could all have a picnic together once they met again or maybe if he could visit his house with Leo and how funny it was when Leo and Spock poked fun at each other and on and on he went about how fun it was when they made the chocolate.

Winona may not be the happiest woman in the world, but she sure as hell was the happiest mother with sons like these.


A/N: The first chapter was horrible, I know, pfft. I hope this can make up for it? xD

And gdi I'm being rushed by some people here. Bl But yeah, Bones is next! What should his mom's name be? 'cause from what I remember, his mother's name was never announced. :la

I love Winona, haha.

Reviews, suggestions and critique are appreciated! Please don't be too harsh with the critique, though.

If you spot any mistakes, just tell me since I don't have the time to re-check this. My computer's broken and I'm just borrowing someone else's…and yeah. I'm being rushed.

Thank you to FireChildSlytherin5 and The Wolf's Shadow for taking the time to review! :D
