Leonard 'Bones' H. McCoy
"I can understand why you signed up for it darling. But it's pretty risky." McCoy's head shook as he reviewed the data on the Vulcan re-population programme.
"*Leonard, it is the most logical way to increase the size of the population. My people need to maintain a minimum 4.3% annual growth to reach 1 billion by the early 24th century."
"I can understand that honey, but hyper ovulation? The Vulcan female body was not designed to carry triplets and quadruplets etc, You're not Tellarites. You have one of the lowest reproduction rates for a reason."
"Yes, we are a desert-bred people, but circumstances have drastically changed. Nero decimated 97.8% of the V'Tosh. We must reproduce to one day place ourselves back as one of the leaders of the Federation. Being the 'poor relative' to our allies is not an option."
Leonard held his fiancée/bond-mate by the hand, stroking the palm with his fingers. He felt her shudder in response, aroused by his gesture.
"Ok then hon, fair enough, you signed up for this long before you met me."
"You will support me in this ashayam?"
"Of course darling, but I put my foot down at more than four children."
"Four is an adequate number k'diwa, perhaps we should practise our reproduction techniques?"
T'Shira got up and straddled her bond-mate, McCoy pulled her to him burying his head in her bosom. He felt like the luckiest man on the ship.

McCoy was surrounded by those dearest to his heart. All those years ago, when he unexpectedly fell in love with a Vulcan and decided to make a life with T'Shira, he admitted to being concerned to losing some of the human traditions that he enjoyed. But it was not so, his wise wife never saw the logic in denying their children's Terran heritage. All five of them, yes Mother Nature had the last laugh, he smiled as he basked in the loving vibe surrounding him; Joanna his eldest, the best thing to come out of his first marriage, Skari his first son, the three T's – T'Lora, T'Ana, T'Ava (the hyper ovulation medication worked too well) and young, two year old Henry, sitting on his lap.
He felt like the luckiest man on New Vulcan
