Chapter 2
Rolling over in bed Jim felt the open space beside him; opening his eyes he saw that Khan was no longer beside him. Getting out of bed quickly Kirk rushed out of the room and stopped short when he saw the augment in his kitchen making breakfast. "I was wondering when you were going to get up or if I was going to have to get you up," Khan remarked as he put the plate on the table. "You actually cooked breakfast?" Kirk asked stunned as he sat at the table and looked at the food on the plate. "Just eat you'll need the energy for later," the augment said with a chuckle. Grabbing a piece of toast Jim nibbled on it as he watched Khan as he watched him.
"I thought of a plan for you to bring to the council to capture me; one that works to our advantage," Khan said stealing a piece of fruit from Kirk's plate and popping it in his mouth.
"Go on," Jim said between bites of toast as he prepared himself to listen to a plan against Starfleet.
"Before I tell you the plan first let me ask you what is the most important thing in my life other than you now of course," Khan remarked seeing if his lover was on the same page. "Your crew…oh you want me to suggest using them as bait to 'capture' you… although now I know me just lying naked on a bed would catch you just as fast," Kirk joked as he finished the slice of toast. "While seeing you nude would be a good trap that would be letting Starfleet know about us, when using my crew we just have to teleport them onto a ship and go somewhere out of federation space," the augment said noticing that Jim had paused while eating.
Swallowing the food in his mouth Jim pushed the plate away from him and got up from the table and walked over to the window. "I don't know if I can do that Khan…I've worked hard to be a captain," Jim said quietly as he looked out the window at the view. Closing his eyes Jim felt the arms of the augment go around his waist. "I told you James… you are mine, but I'm not going to force you to do something you don't wish to pet," Khan remarked as he held the other man against his chest.
Pulling out of the other man's arms Jim walked back to his room and changed into his casual clothes. "I'm going to go out for a while…don't even think about following me," Kirk said as he left his apartment and took off. Leaving his building Kirk walked between the tightly grouped buildings until he found the one he was looking for. Looking at the directory he found the apartment he was looking for, taking the elevator to the sixth floor he sighed softly and walked down the hall and stopped at Uhura's apartment. Knocking on the door he waited for someone to answer.
After a moment Kirk came face to face with his communications officer. "Uhura…can we talk…alone?" he asked looking into the apartment hoping to see that his Vulcan friend wasn't there. "Sure, Spock isn't here so you don't have to look for him, come in," she said closing the door behind Kirk as they walked into the living room area. "Spock told me you would be coming by, he had a feeling that his interrupting your night with your newest lover was an infraction," Nyota said sitting beside Kirk on the couch.
Chuckling Jim leaned back against the couch. "Actually I was kind of glad he stopped over I was getting sore and needed the break," Jim said with a small laugh. " But that's not why I came here… you're the only woman who I work closely enough with to ask for relationship help, if I went to Bones it would just bore me to death and asking relationship advice from Spock is like asking a brick wall," he said hoping he could get some help. Nyota smiled and nodded. "Let me guess you've got feelings for someone and you have no idea if your feelings for them are love or not," Nyota said reading Jim like a book.
"I knew you were the right person to come to, I just need you to swear to secrecy what I'm about to tell you would never be uttered again." Jim said taking Nyota's hands in his showing her how serious he was. Nodding her head she bit her bottom lip in waiting. "Last night…I…um…kinda slept with…uh…. Khan…" Jim said his voice dropping to a mumble near the end. Nyota sat stunned at what her captain had said. Lifting a hand to her mouth she sat there for a moment. Gathering her thoughts Nyota nodded her head a bit before clapping her hands together. "I see your dilemma, if you really are in love with him then you wonder what it means for your Starfleet career, if it's not love then you're worried that not turning him last night will still get you into trouble," she said hitting the nail on the head.
Nodding Kirk sighed and dropped his head into his hands. "He says I'm his and that with this order to capture him we can use it to get his crew back and find a planet to colonize. So that's my dilemma, what do I do?" Jim asked raising his head and looking at his communications officer. "Well how do you feel when you look at him?" she asked hoping she could help.
"It's not a warm fuzzy feeling it's more of an 'I just don't want to sleep with him I want to always be at his side' sort of feeling. I can't explain it any more than that, I don't feel like I can change him but he is changing, this morning he made me breakfast and it was perfect and…he um… was considerate last night and was gentle at first when we started," Kirk said blushing a bit. Nyota smiled at the blush on her captain's face. "Well it sounds like you're head over heels for him but how do you know he really is he could be using you… and if he ends up breaking your heart I know that Spock and the rest of the crew won't stop until they've hunted him down for hurting you like that," she said putting a hand on Jim's. "With a man like Khan you need to be blunt, go back to your place and just ask him his intentions if he really cares for you ask him to prove it and not just with sex," Nyota said as he door opened making her and Kirk jump.
Jim stood there for a moment and nodded at the young woman to cut the conversation. "Well thank you for the help Lieutenant I should be going," Kirk said as he dashed past Spock before the Vulcan could greet him. Rushing home he opened the front door and found Khan on his couch looking like a sleeping cat lying on his side. Biting back a smirk Kirk walked over to the edge of the couch and looked down at the augment. "Seeing you like this it's so hard to imagine that you killed so many people," Jim whispered trying not to wake the other man. Not anticipating Khan was feigning sleep Jim squeaked when Khan shot up and pounced on him and pinned him to the floor.
Looking up at the augment Kirk put a hand on his chest and pushed him back so he could sit up. "Khan, can we talk and just talk…please," Kirk said propping himself up on his elbows. Khan sat back letting Kirk sit up more. " I just need to know… are you using me to get your crew or do you really have feelings for me…and don't lie to me," he added showing his vulnerable side as he looked away scared at what the other man would say. Watching the smaller man Khan could sense the uncertainty coming from him. Reaching forward Khan tipped Kirk's chin up so he would look at him. Looking into Khan's steel blue eyes Jim felt his body freeze in place. "Last night I was the most intimate I have ever been with anyone even before I went into cryostasis, I'm not a fickle man James…I can't explain it but that is the most honest I can be," Khan said letting his hand fall from Kirk's chin.
"Then say it…" Jim said challenging the other man with his eyes and his words.
"What?" the augment asked searching Kirk's ocean blue eyes.
"You know what, if you really mean everything you just said then say it I want to hear it come from your lips," Jim said his breathing getting heavy as he waited for Khan to respond.
Looking down for a moment Khan stared at the wood floor of the apartment before he looked up catching the other man's eyes making sure they could see each other's face. "I…love… you…" Khan said the words feeling foreign on his tongue. Jim smiled at the other man. "I …love you… too," Jim got out as he turned dark red. Leaning in close Khan brushed his lips against Kirk's. "I should let you know that if you hurt me in anyway, whether it's physical or emotional my crew wouldn't hesitate to make you pay, so I thought I should warn you," Kirk said softly.
"I have no intention of harming you James…in fact once we're safe away from all the dangers of Starfleet I will make good on this promise to be here for you to but I first have to have my crew back," Khan said as he stood up and helped Kirk to his feet and held him close. "I understand, they were important to you first…tomorrow after my tests with Bones I'll leave word with Admiral Kor I have a plan to capture you and a ship hopefully. It's a real shame we can't go out like a normal couple tonight it's supposed to be clear and we would see the stars, but with you being who you are we'll get caught," Kirk said as he stepped back and dropped onto his couch and stretched out.
As the day dragged on Jim read and napped while Khan busied himself out of sight. When the sun began to set Khan walked over to the couch and found his lover asleep with an old book across his chest. "James…Jim," he said reaching over the smaller couch and shaking the other man awake. Opening his eyes he looked up at the augment. "I was sleeping… what's wrong?" Jim asked rubbing his eyes as he sat up and put his book aside. Khan smirked and scooped Kirk up into his arms and put him on his feet. "I have something special planned for us on the roof," Khan said practically dragging Kirk out of the apartment and up the stair case to the roof.
Opening the door to the roof Kirk stopped at the sight of the roof top set up for a stargazing picnic. Walking over Jim sat down on the blanket and looked at the augment. "Are you trying to seduce me again Mr. Singh?" Jim asked leaning back provocatively. "I am trying to Mr. Kirk, but it seems you are as well…it's the date you couldn't have in public but it's all about you," Khan said sitting down beside Kirk and swooping in to kiss him again. Breaking the kiss Khan sat back to let Jim look at the spread. "It's very nice up here, but we're not having sex up here…it's alright for the neighbors I just don't want the whole city to hear us," Kirk joked as he reached over and grabbed a spicy sweet roll and took a bite out of it," moaning at the taste Jim looked at Khan and watched him eat as he grabbed his own roll and began to eat while Jim sat close. Once they were done eating Khan stretched out and lay back against the blanket. Lying down against Khan, Kirk watched the sky and felt safe for truly the first time in his life.
Lying together and looking at the stars above Kirk pointed out his favorite stars and told Khan about his past before Starfleet and his first trip into space and Nero. "You we're quite the trouble maker as a child…" Khan said as he rolled onto his side and looked at Kirk. "You look tired…I'll carry you back downstairs," the augment said reaching over and brushing some of Kirk's hair back. Wrapping his arms around Khan's neck and pulled down into another kiss before letting the augment go. "No, let's stay up here and talk for as long as we can," Jim said staying in Khan's arms. Talking through the night Kirk fought sleep until the sun began to rise. Khan looked down and saw his lover still beside him asleep using his chest as a pillow.
Picking Jim up into his arms Khan carried him back to his apartment and put him to bed before going up to the roof to clean up the picnic mess up from the night before. Heading down from the roof Khan was unaware that he had been spotted until he stepped out of the stairwell. Looking down the hall his eyes met the academy graduate standing at the other end of the hall. Before he could react the young man dashed like a rabbit. Chasing after the young man down Khan cornered him and grabbed him by the throat and lifted him off his feet and began to crush his throat.
"Khan, stop..." Uhura said grabbing Khan's arm as tight as she could knowing that he would barely feel it anyway.
"He is a threat…" Khan said lowering the young man but holding tight ready to snap his neck when the time was right.
"No he's not, if you kill him you will lose Him," The communications officer said knowing Khan knew she was talking about Kirk.
"I'm doing this to protect him," Khan growled protectively as he kept his grip tight enough to hold but let his prey breathe for the time being.
"You're protecting yourself…if you let him go you'll have maybe forty minutes tops to run…long enough to do what you need to," she said hoping Khan got the hint. Letting the man go he watched the man take off down the hall and into the far staircase. "You've got forty minutes to say good bye," Nyota said pushing Khan towards Kirk's apartment. Rushing into the bedroom Khan shook his lover awake. "James, I have to go… I don't have long…I'm sorry," Khan said resting his forehead against Kirk's and holding him for a moment. "I'll come with you," Kirk said as he tried to get out of bed.
Shaking his head Khan, put his hands on both sides of Kirk's head and held him as he started to pull away. "No my love…you have to stay for the plan but I will be in contact I promise, now sleep you're tired…" Khan said softly as he quickly kissed Kirk until he lay back against the bed. Looking over at Uhura, Khan nodded at her before he pulled away from Kirk and left the apartment swiftly before the Starfleet guards came after him. Sitting on the edge of the bed Uhura watched Kirk roll into a ball and hide under the blankets on his bed. "Jim…he's not gone forever," Uhura said putting a hand on his shoulder. "It will be alright…you will see him again," she said hoping that her captain wasn't being compromised by his emotions.
Kirk pulled his legs up to his chest and sighed. "What am I going to do…if he gets caught…I talked about not being able to have a date and he planned a whole stargazing picnic for me and he was seen because of it…" Jim said beating himself up for Khan being seen by someone. "If he gets captured, I can't explain it… I need him it's like I rather die than live without him," Kirk said softly as he stared off into space. Uhura sat uneasily on the edge of the bed as she watched sleep overtake Kirk again.
Taking out her communicator Uhura called the only other member of the Enterprise crew she could trust with the sensitive information about its captain. Hearing a knock at the front door Uhura answered the door and found the ship's medical officer standing there not long after calling the other crew member.
"I really hope you're joking," McCoy said as he walked into his friend's apartment.
"I really wish I was…he's in there asleep but I don't feel right leaving him alone isn't there something you could do medically force him to stay with you or at the hospital," Uhura said looking at the bedroom door.
McCoy laughed a bit as he dropped his jacket on the couch. "That's a good one Jim Kirk stay in a hospital under his own free will… the last time was a fluke because of the radiation poisoning he would slip out the first chance he got," the doctor said as he sat on the arm of the couch. Nyota nodded and sighed. "Just take care of him I don't think the rest of the crew could handle his death again," Nyota said softly. "I don't think any of us could we just all need to work together watching Jim closely," McCoy said crossing his arms over his chest.
As the weeks went by Jim slowly returned to normal. Sitting up in bed Jim looked out the window and covered his mouth as he ran into the bathroom and was sick again. Leaving the bathroom after a few minutes Kirk came face to face with his friend. "Jim you've been sick for almost a week you need to let me run tests," McCoy said hoping to check his friend out. "Maybe you're onto something Bones, I really thought I would be better by now," Jim said before he turned on his heel and rushed back into the bathroom just as his stomach turned on him again. Once he was sure his stomach was empty Jim left the bathroom again and groaned.
"Fine you get two tests so make them count and no needles," he groaned rubbing his face with his hands feeling tired from the lack of sleep and constant being sick. Smirking McCoy put an arm around his friend's shoulder and led him out of the apartment and led him toward the hospital. "I really should be recording this for my own use," McCoy said smirking as they found a private exam room and sat Kirk down on the edge of the bed. Grabbing a needle McCoy looked at his friend and chuckled lightly. "Now hold still I just need to take some blood," he said sticking the needle into Jim's arm and taking a small vial of blood to test.
"You seem to be getting too much pleasure out this Bones…" Jim said turning away from the blood as he felt his stomach turn again. When he was done McCoy handed the vial over to his assistant to run the tests. "Jim you don't have to worry about anything I doubt this is a relapse of any radiation poisoning… at least I hope it's not," McCoy said unsure of what would happen next. As they waited the computer suddenly began to ping loudly. Stunned that the test was done already McCoy walked over to where his assistant was and looked at the results. "Run it again…I want to be sure…" he mumbled as she put another sample of blood through and watched the results appear on the screen again.
Dismissing the young woman McCoy walked over to his friend and crossed his arms over his chest. "Well the tests came back positive…but not for what you think…Jim… according to these tests your pregnant about ten weeks along…I'd like to do an ultrasound to confirm but we don't have to right now, I could let you absorb this information," McCoy said trying to judge if his friend about to have a have a freak out. Kirk sat frozen as his hand unconsciously moved over his abdomen.
"I'm…pregnant…" Kirk mumbled trying to wrap his head around the news. "Bones…I can't be pregnant…I…think I need to lie down…" Kirk said stretching out on the bed and keeping his hand on his middle. "It could be a false positive," McCoy said as he got the ultrasound out and waited for Kirk to give him permission. After a couple minutes Jim moved his hands and allowed his friend to do the ultrasound. "I found a heartbeat do you want to hear it?" McCoy asked and saw his captain nod. Turning the sound on, they were graced with the sound of a small heartbeat. Looking at the small screen Jim felt himself smile then he looked at his friend. "Wait you said ten weeks… Khan… and I slept together three weeks ago…" Jim said feeling nervous as he sat up. "Then he left me," he added wanting to cry.
McCoy sighed and put a hand on his friend's shoulder. "I don't know a lot about the changes in your DNA or how long you will be pregnant especially because if what you just told me is true then this could be a very short pregnancy but that doesn't mean it will be safer or less painful when it comes to the labor," McCoy said breaking the news to Kirk. Jim sat u and looked down at his lap and rubbed his face with his hands. "I wish I could tell Khan… " Jim said softly as he got up from the bed.
"Jim, I want you to take it easy don't exert yourself and I want you to take prenatal vitamins, and for now avoid all sex, and I think it would be best if you kept this all to yourself especially with who the father is," McCoy said as he put a hand on Kirk's shoulder just before he left exam room. Jim left the exam room and sighed as he walked to the park and sat down. Looking at the field where the children were playing he sighed and thought about what he was going to do.
"Mind if I sit here?"
Jim looked up and saw Admiral Kor standing beside the bench, nodding Kirk moved over to make room as his commanding officer sat beside him. "Kirk, you seem troubled by something do you want to talk about it?" Kor asked looking at the young captain. "I'm fine sir just thinking about some things…I was going to come and see you later I've finally figured out how to bring Khan out of hiding, of course it will take a lot of work and we'll need the cryogenic tubes with his crew and a ship," Kirk said hoping Khan's plan would work. "Sounds interesting use what he loves most in this world against him to capture him," Kor remarked with a chuckle.
"You know Chris was always talking about you Kirk, he never stopped singing praise of you… you are the son he never had, I full trust in your plan captain I just ask that you allow me to be there when you capture Khan just to see the look on his face," Kor said with a chuckle. Forcing a smile Kirk nodded. "I can't wait to see if this will work sir, Khan deserves to pay for the innocent people who died," Kirk said swallowing hard as he lied to his commanding officer about the truth. "I would stay longer but I have to go, tomorrow come by my place I will have the others from the council over so we can discuss this plan some more I can't make a full decision myself. The others have to give their input before I can allow you to do anything to capture Khan," Kor remarked as he stood up and nodded to Kirk before leaving.
Staying at the park a little longer Jim signed at least a dozen times as he tried to figure out what he was going to do next. Getting up from the bench he headed home and took the elevator to his floor and walked down the long hall to his apartment. Going inside he looked up when he sensed someone standing there. "Khan…" Jim said softly as he walked up put his arms around the augment's neck and pulled him into a kiss. The superhuman smirked into the kiss and pulled his lover closer by the waist. Breaking the kiss Khan looked at the shorter man. "I couldn't stay away any longer, I was watching you from the shadows and I could see you needed me, I apologize for leaving you for so long…" Khan said as he held Kirk close. Jim smiled as he stood locked in Khan's gaze and kept his arms around the other man.
"I understand, you did it to protect me and protect us," Jim said as he shared another kiss with Khan. Both men were so lost in the kiss they forgot the apartment door was still wide open. When they broke for air both men had the feeling of being watched and turned toward the front door, Khan smirked when he saw his lover's first officer standing there stunned by their kiss. "Looks like we had an audience love," Khan said moving behind Kirk and putting his arms around him and holding him protectively.
