Bulletproof
Been there done that.
Jim wanted me to get her, but I couldn't get myself to care so much. It was hard enough to deal with being a long distance parent. It would hurt too much if this fell apart as well...
Jim and Spock wanted me to get her, but she was stronger than me, and I didn't want to break...
Jim, Spock and I wanted me to get her, but I wasn't bulletproof yet. I would get there, soon, I think. But I had a ways to go yet. She is stronger than I am, but I think I'll be able to handle it soon....
