"Juh-em."

"No!"

"Come on, say it already! Say Jim!"

"Jim…"

"Good job, Spock, but I was actually talking to Liam," Jim said, shooting the Vulcan a grin before turning his attention back to the little boy in front of him. Liam had been talking more often and had even learned to say the names of some people other than his fathers. Unfortunately for Jim, Liam refused to say his name.

"This is highly illogical, Jim. The Doctor has already informed you that he will say your name when he is ready, has he not?" Spock said, causing Jim to roll his eyes.

"So? Bones says a lot of things," Jim said before going back to repeating his name. Liam seemed to think that this was some kind of game and would yell "no" (which seemed to be his new favorite word) before giggling. "Juh-eem," he said again.

"I fin—"

"Spock, I'm trying to teach Liam a new word here," Jim said, cutting the Vulcan off mid-sentence. Liam's face scrunched up, his eyes locked on the young Captain's face. "Juh-em," he said again, grinning. It looked like Liam was finally going to say his name!

"Spok." Jim's jaw dropped as he stared at Liam. Did he just… No, he couldn't have! As if on cue, Liam began to repeat the new word and wave his arms at the Vulcan. "Spok, Spok, Spok, Spok, Spok!" A very small smile flickered across Spock's face as he gently lifted Liam out of his seat. He placed him in his lap, where Liam began to babble away and attempt to grab anything he could reach.

I bet you thought I had given up on this, didn't you?! Well you were wrong. I was just having a hard time thinking of something to write. And I forgot all about this until my mom was all like "are you ever going to write another chapter for your fic?" the other day (yes, my mom does read this. Isn't that weird?), so yeah….

Anyway, this chapter is pretty short, but at least I finally updated, right? And I don't think Bones is going to be happy when he finds out about Liam's new word. ("BONES ANGRY, BONES SMAAAAAASH!") Yeah… And, you can expect a new chapter as soon as I think of something else to write! Er, I mean….expect one soon (hopefully)!
