A/N: So here we are at chapter two...
Disclaimer on first chapter
Kylie shivered as she sat on one of the med beds. "Gendas are you sure you can't make it any warmer in here?"
"No, ma'am I'm sorry," Gendas said. "I've tried but there's too much damage!"
"O-okay. Dades out," she said. Just then the away team from the Enterprise materialized a few feet away.
"Elena, get more coats," Kylie said hugging hers tighter and grinning. "I would come hug you but I'm frozen where I'm at," she greeted.
Kirk laughed and walked quickly to her side. "Frozen enough not to hug me?"
Kylie shrugged. "I'm never too frozen to hug you." She jumped down and wrapped her arms around his torso. Elena came back quickly with extra coats and passed them around.
"So how much of the ship is destroyed?" Bones asked zipping up the coat.
Kylie sighed. "Bridge is gone, as is engineering. This deck is the only thing unscathed."
"And the captain?" Spock asked.
"Dead. Jeff thinks he died on impact. The first officer is gone too," Kylie said crossing her arms.
"How'd you crash?" Kirk asked.
Kylie looked at her feet. "I wasn't on the bridge. All I know is we went to red alert and five minutes later everything was dark and cold," she said looking up again. Kylie took a deep breath. "It's probably in the computer but our geek Gendas hasn't been able to access it yet."
Scotty grinned. "I cana probably help him with that. Point me in the right direction." Kylie smiled and motioned for him to follow her.
"Up that shaft there and to the right, if you call him he'll answer you and direct you the rest of the way," she said pointing to a ceiling panel.
Scotty nodded. "Lieutenant, gimme a boost," he said waving Carlson over.
"Hello, you must be Doctor McCoy. I'm Doctor Lockey," Jeff said coming around the corner.
Bones nodded and shook his hand. "That's me. So how many people were aboard?"
Jeff sighed. "Over a hundred."
Kylie rubbed her hands together and sat down on her sofa while Kirk looked around. "Nice little room ya got," he said.
Kylie nodded. "I'm hardly in here. Most of the time I'm training new additions in the gym or escorting the captain on missions."
Kirk smiled and sat down next to her. "I've missed you Ky."
Kylie leaned into him. "I've missed you too. It's no fun seeing the stars without you."
"I agree." He leaned down and kissed her- like he wanted to do an hour ago when they arrived. Kylie deepened the kiss and moved closer to him.
Kirk broke the kiss and took off his coat. Kylie mimicked his actions and cuddled into him. Kirk swung one of the coats over them and held his Kylie in his arms.
"You owe me," Kylie mumbled.
Kirk stared down at her. "I do?"
Kylie grinned evilly. "You owe me lots of kisses, Jim Kirk. We've been apart for ten months."
Kirk laughed and started paying his debt with pleasure.
Kylie grinned as she rematerialized on the Enterprise. "She's beautiful Jim," she said as Kirk took her hand helping her down the few steps. The ensign at the conn exchanged glances with Scotty. Not very many people called their captain by his name.
"Yup and she's mine," Kirk replied. Kylie opened her mouth to retort but instead grinned and shook her head.
"Well are ya going to show me around?" Kylie asked putting her hands on her hips.
Kirk laughed and admired her. She did something to him every time she smiled. His chest just tightens and it becomes hard to breathe. He loved her so much but since they graduated they never had time for one another- especially because he was a captain.
He held out his arm to her. "Well? Shall we get on that tour or what?" Kylie laughed and took his arm.
"We shall," she said grinning.
"-And that's the mess hall in there," Kirk pointed out.
Kylie nodded. "Big ship, it'll take me awhile to memorize where everything is," she said with a slight chuckle.
Kirk laughed and kissed her head. "Yeah but you'll catch on quick."
Kylie smiled and looked to the floor. "There is just one place I haven't seen, my quarters," she said looking up at him giggling.
"Very good my smart girl," Kirk said grinning. "How about we take a small detour to the bridge first?"
Kylie shrugged. "Sure. I'd love to see you at work," she teased.
"Well Commander, it seems we shall drop you and your crewmen off at Star Base 55 in a total of twenty-four hours at our current speed," Spock said.
Kylie nodded sadly. "Thank you, Mr. Spock. My crew and I appreciate it."
Spock raised an eyebrow. "Is something not satisfactory?" Kylie smiled and shook her head.
"No, no. Everything is fine," she said.
Bones walked onto the bridge. "Ky, I won't have you avoiding your check up any longer. I'm putting my foot-."
Kylie grinned fighting the laughter. "I'm coming, I'm coming, Bones." She walked up past him into the lift and crossed her arms. "What's that look supposed to mean? I always cooperate."
Bones shrugged and shook his head. "Nothing Ky. I was just expectin' to argue with ya. You're as stubborn as Jim sometimes." Kylie laughed as the doors shut.
"Well Kylie, you seemed to have escaped any real damage from that crash," Bones said moving aside so she could jump down.
"Well thank ya Doc," Kylie said smiling.
Bones nodded. "Yup." Kylie let her dirty blond hair loose for a moment, shaking it and then bending over to put it back into a high pony tail.
"Ya know, the Enterprise could use a new security chief. Ours is retiring," Bones said casually as he polished his tools.
Kylie raised an eyebrow. "Oh?" She straightened up and looked at him. "Is this some sort of hint for me to mention it to the captain? You forget Bones. We cannot be serving on the same ship, if our marriage was discovered while I was on board," she trailed off staring at Bones.
Bones nodded sadly. "It just isn't the same on the ship without ya, Ky."
Kylie stepped closer to him and put a hand on his shoulder. "So I've been told. It's just too big a risk." Her hand lifted off his shoulder and went to the hem of her skirt, tugging it down.
"I don't know what Star Fleet expects from me when I can't do anything in this thing," she muttered to herself.
Bones laughed and nodded towards some of her crewmen. "Heckler will be all right. He wasn't hemorrhaging and that's good. I also, with the help of the lovely nurse Chapel, got Christopher and Lucas back on their feet. Gendas' ankle has been treated as well."
Kylie nodded looking in Heckler and Gendas' direction. "Good. Thanks again Bones." She turned and left sick bay. She went to the nearest panel and hailed the bridge.
"Captain, you wouldn't mind giving me directions to my quarters would you?" Kylie asked grinning. She heard him chuckle on the other end.
"Sure Commander. Deck 6 room 336a," he answered. Kylie could hear the grin on his face.
"Thank you Captain," she ended the communication and chuckled as she headed for the nearest turbolift.
