"Uncle Leo? I wanna play with Daddy." Skylar said, sliding off the bio bed carefully and walking over to the Doctor.
"Sky, Daddy can't play with you right now, he's working, you're gonna have to stay here until he's done." Bones explained, squatting to be at eye level with the four year old girl. She looked dejected at his words, and it damn near broke the Doctor's heart. Joanna must have had a similar conversation with her mother before, though no doubt Jocelyn wasn't as nice. "I have to go help a patient right now, but if you stay here in my office I'll be back to play with you soon." Leonard, explained, standing and leaving after squeezing the girl's arm reassuringly.
Skylar ignored the doctor and snuck out as he was concentrating on an ensign with a broken arm. She wandered around the Enterprise until she came to a recognizable hall and ambled into the engineering lab, "Scotty, I wanna play with Daddy, where is he?" She asked, looking up at the chief engineer hopefully.
"Skylar, yer daddy is workin' righ' now and you cannae play with him. You need t'go back to sick bay with the doctor, not be wanderin' 'bout the ship." he assessed, reaching for her hand, she pulled away.
"I know how to get back, I'll go by myself." She said defiantly.
"If yer sure, Miss Sky. You know I excpec' only the best Starfleet cadet behavior out o' ya." he said, raising his hand to salute her. She smiled and saluted back like a little soldier.
"Yes, Sir, Mr. Scotty!" She cheered, then ran off. She wandered the halls again, getting slightly scared as she realized she didn't know where she was going. She spotted the turbo lift and ran to it, knowing that's where her Daddy went to work and jumped inside, reaching to her full arms length to push buttons just like he did. She felt the small lift move and suddenly the doors hissed open, showing a bright room with lots of chairs and counters with buttons. There was one big chair in the middle that must have been for her, so she climbed into it.
She seated herself perfectly straight in the empty bridge and commanded, "This is Captain Sky speaking, and I say daddy should come play with me right now!" She called to the empty room, sitting in the silence that responded. She looked around and sat there for a moment, viewing the stars out the view screen that traveled gently toward her.
Suddenly, the turbo lift doors opened again and out came Spock and Kirk, talking about the away mission they had been on. Skylar stood up, looking over the back of the chair and squealed, "Daddy! Papa!" and then hopped off, running up to hug Spock's leg. Kirk snuck and arm around his fort officer's waist and smiled down at the toddler.
The vulcan would never admit to feeling this proud of his daughter.
