I do not own nor profit from Star Trek or Gene Roddenberrys creations

A/N: I appreciate all who have been reading, and following this story, the reviews have been helpful and motivational. This is a bit of a longer chapter, and I don't think I am quite happy with it, but, oh well, it'll have to go up anyways, as I have procrastinated on it far too long. I hope you enjoy.

Leonard and Addy spent any free time they had together looking for apartments, trying baby names, and going to doctors appointments. Of course Leonard couldn't make it to all of them, but the good man tried. He wondered mostly how Jim was going to take the news. He had only been awake for a few days, and was still hospitalized. Jim had a hard time with the news of them being together, but, now the news of them having the family that Jim had wanted first might be too much. He tried hard to avoid the topic of their relationship, even though he knew Jim was just curious as to how they were faring after the incident on the Enterprise.

Addy was sitting in the employee lounge when Leonard went in for his lunch. He leaned in for a kiss while she read a magazine.

"Hey sweet thing, how are you feeling?" He asked, taking his lunch out of the fridge.

"I'm alright, just reading over some stuff." She tossed the magazine on the table, taking a drink of her ginger and cucumber water. It helped to keep her stomach in line. "You know, names, bassinets, stuff like that." She smiled, letting her bun down, shaking her hair out.

"Yeah? What type of bassinets? Nice old school wooden ones? Flowery and lacy ones?" He arched an eyebrow.

"I did see one that I liked, but, honestly, a bassinet is so small. I mean, it would be great for the first year maybe, but, the baby would need to go into a bigger crib. So, why waste money on two beds?" She opened the magazine to the page she had seen the bassinet on.

"Why not? We can afford it darlin. I think a bassinet would be nice, maybe put it in our room for the first few months? Let the baby sleep in our room, and then move it to its own room? Besides, just because we buy it now, doesn't mean we won't use it again." He smirked, taking a bite of his sandwich.

"Leonard!" She cried. "We have barely found out about one, and you are already hinting at another!" She said incredulously.

"Now now, I wasn't hinting at anything." He shook his head.

"Mmhm." She raised an eyebrow, eyeing him, and put her head back down.

"Not that it wouldn't be something to think about though." He slipped in, causing her head to snap up and give him a playful glare.

Jim had received a plethora of visitors since he had woken up. Everybody had wanted to spend time with him, and make sure that he was alright. They were reassured many times that he was in the competent hands of Dr. McCoy, one of the best doctors in the fleet. But of course, that didn't stop them from worrying.

Addy had only been his nurse a couple of times since he woke up, preferably when Leonard wasn't there. They felt they didn't want to seem to be rubbing their relationship in his face. Today was one of the days they were both there caring for him.

"How are you today, Jim?" She stepped into the room, seeing Jim sitting up, eating his breakfast.

"I'm alright." He swallowed some toast.

"Any pain, or discomfort?" She smiled, ready to chart on her PADD.

"No, not today. Just a bit tired, a little soreness in my arm from the IV, but, otherwise, nothing too bad." He gave a sweet smile, as only Jim T. Kirk could.

"Well good to hear that. The IV should be coming out later today, I'll talk to Leonard about it. After being irradiated, your body has been through a lot, and it will take a while for it to recover. All of your cells have been repaired, essentially, so it will be a while." She smiled. "Any nausea or vomiting?" She asked, writing down something in her PADD.

"Well, a little nausea, but not as much as you I've heard." He winked, causing her to falter.

"What do you mean?"

"One of the other nurses said you've been pretty sick for a while." He eyed her.

"Yeah, just an after effect of that... beetle powder." She laughed off.

"Funny. I didn't feel sick at all afterwards." He mused.

"Yes, you are also a guy, and you didn't get NEARLY the same dose that I got." She smiled over her PADD.

"What does being a guy have to do with it?" He raised his eyebrow.

"Well, some things affect women differently, or more intense than men." She gazed over to the monitor, charting his vitals. "Besides, you are bigger than I am, and able to absorb the drugs better."

"Maybe so, but are you feeling better at least?" He drank some juice.

"Yes, I'm a lot better, thank you." She smiled at him.

"Good, I wouldn't want my dear nurse puking on me." He chuckled.

"Oh Jim, you can be a pain sometime." She rolled her eyes. Leonard had entered the room, and began talking to Addy about the charts.

"I think we can send him home today. No events on the EKG, no abnormal wave patterns, and his vitals have been stable for a few days." He flipped through the monitor in the room.

"I think that sounds good. What time were you thinking?" She looked up at him.

"Afternoon should be good." Leonard nodded. "I'll put in the orders to remove his IV, and discontinue the monitoring equipment. No discharge medications, so, no need to put those in..." He was speaking more to himself at this point, as he entered in the orders.

"I've got a mad patient down the hall. Should be interesting." He rolled his eyes. Addy shook her head.

"Yeah, I had her a few days ago. She ended up throwing her tray at me." She laughed, remembering how angry the young woman had become. It was still a mystery as to why she was so upset, so for safety, she had to restrain her. Sometimes you could hear her screaming halfway down the hall.

"Make sure you be careful." Leonard glanced over at her, giving her a knowing look. She returned it, letting him know she was going to be okay.

"Am I missing something here?" Jim asked, stepping out of bed.

"No, not at all. Just talking about another patient." Leonard shook his head.

"Here, Jim, let me take that IV out before you get up. You don't need it." She reached for some supplies. She sat bent over next to him, removing it as he winced. "Yeah, I'm sorry, it'll be sore for a few days I'm guessing. You've had an IV for two weeks." She placed a bandage on it, throwing away the used tubing.

"Jeez, no kidding." He moved his fist in a circular motion.

"Hey, be happy you didn't get nurse ratched." She quipped

"Who?" Jim looked confused as Leonard laughed.

"The new nurse here. She has a bad habit of blowing out her patients veins." Leonard laughed.

"But she thinks she is... the shit." Addy gave him a fresh pair of socks. "Seriously, she thinks she knows all, is all, and treats her patients like garbage."

Jim looked in understanding. "I've met her. Short brown hair? Narrow face? Sourpuss look?" He recalled.

"Yep, that'll be the one." Leonard nodded.

"Yeah, she was here yesterday. A real treasure that one." Jim rolled his eyes. "She was meaner than hell. She is definitely on a power trip, thinking she is so much better." Jim shook his head.

"Jim, if you request her for the Enterprise, I'll slap you." Leonard looked up, giving a warning look.

"I wouldn't even assign her to Khans ship... Well..." Jim began to backtrack.

They all shared a laugh at that idea.

"What are they going to do with him anyways?" She looked between the two.

"I heard he was put back in his cryotube." Leonard tucked a pen behind his ear.

"I'll find out at headquarters." Jim offered.

"Sounds good, I'd like to know what happens." She sighed. Leonard left to see his other patients as Addy got Jim ready for discharge.

As soon as they were alone Jim turned to his nurse. "So, are you guys doing alright?" He asked, as she typed.

"Yeah, we are doing just fine." She replied simply.

"Well, after, um, yeah. I was just wondering." He rubbed his thighs, massaging them.

"Well, that was just an unfortunate side effect of the drugs. Leonard realizes that, and so I don't think he holds any ill feelings. I don't either, I just hope you don't." She glanced at him momentarily.

"Why would I?" He smiled sweetly.

"After everything, that's all." She looked down.

"Addy, I'm happy to have you in my life, even if it is just as a friend, or as a coworker on good terms. It's better than not having you at all." He walked over, putting a hand on her shoulder.

"Well, I'm glad to hear that. It's nice to have you around too... Even when you are being a lecherous cretin." She laughed.

"You think I'm a cretin?" He feigned hurt.

"Oh please. You are too smart for your own good, just... Sometimes, you make bad choices." She sighed.

"Like leaving you?" He sighed, not able to live that moment down.

"No, like that blonde you took home back in december. She was a nutcase." She laughed. Jim would have been more than happy to not remember her either. He didn't even remember her name, but she had stalked him nearly every day until they left for their mission.

"Yeah, she was a bad choice." Jim shook his head as he continued to the bathroom finally.

She called Spock to come and pick him up, as he would need transport home, and an escort.

"I don't know what all the fuss is about." Jim sighed, just wanting to leave, no doubt wanting to find a nice woman to keep him busy that night.

"Well, you did die Jim. It's probably for your own good to be taken home by someone." She raised her brow.

He laid back in bed, watching TV until Spock arrived, which was nearly 3 pm.

"So, Jim, try not to do anything TOO strenuous... or should I say anybody too strenuous." She cocked a brow. "Try to relax, alright?" She rubbed his shoulder gently. He nodded as Nyota pushed him out in a wheelchair. Spock walked behind carrying his things. When he was gone, she went through the room, stripping the bed, and getting it ready for the bed makers.

Leonard woke up early that Saturday, making her breakfast. She had been busy that week, having pulled a couple of doubles, as some nurses had gone on vacation to spend time with their families after the attack. He had been trying to talk her out of it, but she was adamant to take care of the patients.

He made bacon, eggs and toast for them, with mint tea for her, and milk for himself, plating it up and taking it into the bedroom on a tray.

"Wake up sleepy." He called softly, trying to lull her awake. She rolled over, nuzzling into his pillow until the smell of breakfast made her head pop up.

"Oh, my, Len that smells delicious." She sat up sleepily.

"Well, I hope so. I had to slaughter the pig to get the meat... I smoked and cured this bacon just for you, from an old family recipe. I RAISED the chickens, that gave me the eggs to make you this breakfast." He began to joke with her. She laughed, laying back down into the pillow.

"I take it you grew, picked and dried the mint too to make my tea?" She peeked at him from under her forearm.

He gave her a confused look. "No, I bought it at the store last week. Jeez Addy, whats wrong with you?" He laughed, setting the tray down over her. She sat back up, looking at her meal. Len took a spot beside her, as she tucked in.

"So, I was thinking... if you would like to come back home with me. I'd like my family to meet you." He looked out the window.

"Back in Georgia?" She raised her brow.

"Yeah, I mean, we have been together long enough now, and we are about to have a child, so, I guess it would only be right that you met my parents." He rubbed her back. She nodded, fancying the idea of meeting his family. "I was thinking next week, we take Friday through Monday off. We can leave Thursday night, and come back on Monday morning?"

"That would be nice, I would like that. I'm just sorry you can't meet my parents." She smiled sadly. "Or my grandparents for that matter." She added.

"That's alright doll." He went back to eating his breakfast. She was excited to travel with Leonard, to go meet his family. "Let's go out tonight. We haven't had much of a date night since we've been back."

"Yeah? Where would you like to go?" She leaned back into her pillows, taking a sip of her tea.

"How about a steakhouse or something?"

"Mm, steak sounds so good. A nice, rare steak." She drooled. Leonard laughed, knowing she must have been wanting iron in her system. "We can do that. I look forward to it." She smiled.

They put in their time requests and bought their tickets before going to the mall. Being able to get out and walk leisurely would hopefully help improve her mood. It was busy, as any Saturday was, with families and groups of friends roamed in packs. Addy made her way to one of the large department stores for one of the things they had been looking at most.

"Ohh, Len, look at this." She looked at a bassinet, fluffing the lace that lined the outside.

"Yeah, it's pretty nice." Leonard huffed, looking around. "I just don't think we should be looking at these here, I mean, we haven't even told anybody yet." He spoke low just between them as she nodded in agreement.

"I know, it's just, so exciting. We see these cribs, and bassinets and all the baby clothes, and I just want to buy it all up." She smiled excitedly. "But, I understand. I mean, we are only in the 3rd month. We have plenty of time to look, and buy." She sighed.

He rubbed her back reassuringly, leading them away from that area. Instead, they shopped around for their own clothes, and for things for their apartment. As it drew later in the day, she grew tired of working her way through busy crowds with their purchases, just to look around for more. Leonard was nice enough to pick up on this, suggesting they go home and clean up before they went to dinner.

Addy enjoyed her bath, as she soaked in an old claw-foot bathtub. Leonard sat on the other side, gently scrubbing her legs, while her fingers massage his feet. "How come we never did this before?" He leaned back, asking as his body relaxed.

"Because you never asked?" She laughed softly. "Or perhaps we just didn't think about it, more interested in sex and going out?" She looked over to him.

"Well, I wouldn't mind doing this a bit more often." He sighed, resting his head back, letting the warm water take him. By the time they were ready to get out and go eat, he was reluctant to leave the warm embrace of his bath. He put on his usual jeans and a nice button up, while she wore jeans, and a light sweater. "Ready darlin?" He asked, offering his elbow. She took it graciously as they were on their way.

Before the host could get a table for them, they were beckoned over to a table by Nyota. "Bones, Addy over here. Come on, Spock, make room." She urged her boyfriend, who seemed a bit disappointed that she was interrupting their own date. Not wanting to seem rude, they accepted Nyotas offer, sitting down with them.

"How are you guys?" Nyota asked, taking a drink of her mojito classic.

"We've been good, how about you guys?" Addy inquired.

"Oh, we've been good. We got a lot of things out of the way on Kronos." She smirked, grabbing Spocks hand. Spock was quietly drinking water, still irritated.

Their server came over to take their order. "Oh, I'm sorry. I wasn't aware that you would be having company. Can I get you two started with drinks?" The young man took out a little padd to write on.

"We can split a bottle of wine if you'd like. They have this amazing red wine here." Nyota began to order, resting her hand on Addys.

"Oh no, Addy can't be having any drinks right now." Leonard put his hand out, canceling the wine. "How about some sprite?" He offered. Addy nodded, smiling to the server.

"Yes, sprite and water, no ice in either." She placed.

"I'll take a whiskey and a water as well." Leonard asked. Spock was eyeing Addy as she smiled, placing her hands in her lap. The server came back with their drinks, place settings, and a couple more menus.

"So, whats with the no wine. That's like, your favorite thing at dinner. Syrah, right?" Nyota chuckled, taking another sip of her drink.

"I would imagine, that it has to do with your current medical condition." Spock looked between Leonard and Addy.

"Medical condition... is everything okay?" Nyota got a worried look, as she grabbed Addys hand again. Leonard knew that Spock had already picked up on what was going on, as he put an arm around Addys shoulders.

"We haven't told anybody yet. Not even our families, but," Leonard took a deep breath, looking at Addy for the okay. She nodded slightly. "Well, we are expecting." He looked up.

Nyota looked at them dumbfounded. "Expecting a..." She waited.

"A baby, Nyota. Addy is with child." Spock answered her, then winced as his sensitive ears were assailed by Nyotas shrieks of delight.

"Oh, congratulations you two!" She got up, shuffling around the table to hug them both.

"How far along are you?" She sat back down, inquiring about their news.

"Well, about, 11 weeks, so the doctor said." Leonard answered as Addy drank some water.

"Are you hoping for a boy or girl?"

"We both decided that we would prefer a boy, but we would be happy either way." Addy replied, swallowing.

Addy and Nyota kept talking animatedly about the baby, while Spock and Leonard talked about other things.

"We just, don't want to make it public knowledge yet, so, if you guys can keep it a bit hush, we would appreciate that." Addy looked at the other couple.

"We completely understand. We can keep it quiet." Nyota agreed.

They ended their meal with a dessert to go, as both couples went their own ways.

"Do you think we should have told them so soon?" Addy asked, as she and Leonard walked arm-in-arm back to their apartment.

"Well, Spock already knew. He had the look of a man who already knew, not that much gets past him." Leonard looked down, arching his brow.

"Yeah, but, I mean, I don't know." She shrugged. "I guess it's just kind of odd to be spreading the news."

"Yeah, well, especially since I haven't made an honest woman of you yet." Leonard pulled her in tighter causing her to smile. "I'm supposed to be the good southern man." He said proudly.

"And you are a good southern man, Leonard." Addy stopped him, reaching up to kiss him. "You are my good southern man, and a ring won't change that." She smiled into his lips.

"Still doesn't mean I don't want to make an honest woman out of you." He smirked, making her giggle.

"Well, we can talk about that later." She smiled.

"Well, not too much later, or else it will be a lot harder to find you a dress." He rubbed her growing abdomen. She didn't look pregnant by any means to any who didn't know her, and those who did would have thought she just put on a few pounds, but Leonard knew. She looked down to where his hand rested and sighed in happiness.

When they got home, dessert was left forgotten about on the counter, as Addy bathed Leonard in affection, knowing their sex life had been hindered with work and her side effects. Leonard wasn't opposed to her riding him with vigor, wanting him deeper. His hands held her sides gingerly as he released himself into her when his body couldn't take any more. He held her close, savoring the scent of their lovemaking.

Leonard was at work when Jim and Spock arrived to meet him. Jim had been working with Spock on preparing for their upcoming five year mission they had been cleared for, and had wanted to go see the doctor to fill him in on what was going on.

"Bones, hey, lets get lunch." Jim leaned against the counter as Leonard was finishing up on a chart.

"Yeah, where at?"

"Well, I was thinking we can either go down to the cafeteria, I don't want to take you too far from your patients." Jim cocked a brow as Leonard looked up at the clock.

"Yeah, that sounds good." He nodded as he put the chart away. The three men walked down to get their food, finding a booth by the window.

"So, how is Addy feeling?" Spock looked up, digging into some kreila, a sort of vulcan flatbread.

"She is doing well." Leonard breathed uncomfortably.

"Is her illness doing any better?"

"Yeah, she isn't so sick anymore." He replied.

Jim looked between them. "Addy is still sick?" He scoffed. "That was some drug then, if she is still sick from it."

Spock raised a brow and looked at Leonard. "Doctor, with this five year mission coming up, it would be wise to let the Captain know of the recent developments. Though it may not be ideal at this time, it is still prudent, in case we may need another nurse." He reasoned.

Leonard nodded, knowing what Spock wanted him to do. He took a deep breath and looked to Jim.

"Adelaide isn't sick from the beetle drugs, Jim. She's pregnant." He had to get it out before he lost his nerve. Jim just stared at him.

There was an uneasy silence as he digested the information and tried to form a response. His mind raced, but he didn't know just what emotion wanted to be conveyed, or which of the many statements that came to mind should have been said first.

"Congrats Bones." He said dryly, trying not to seem too put out.

"Thank you." He nodded unsure.

"Yeah, no problem. So, when is she do?" Jim tried to seem genuinely interested. Though he was interested in Addy, he wasn't interested in hearing she was carrying Bones' baby. He would have been happier to hear if she was carrying his own child like they had talked about so long ago. For the sake of their friendship however, it was impossible to keep those thoughts close.

"In about six months or so." He tried to be casual about the conversation.

"Well, I guess, the question is, are you two ready to have a kid on the Enterprise, or is she going to stay home and care for it? Because remember, this is going to be a five year mission." He held his fingers to his lips, waiting for his answer.

"I guess we'll have to figure that out soon." Bones said, taking a bite of peach cobbler. "I didn't know we got the 5 year mission. But, since we did, I guess we'll decide what we are going to do."

"Your'e my CMO, and the best damn doctor we've got. I don't want to go into this without you." Jim nodded, and began talking to them about the basics of the mission.

They spent an hour talking about what was going to happen, what to expect, how long it should take to prepare, and of course, when the Enterprise would be repaired.

"Well, I've got to get back to work you two." Leonard looked down at his watch, noticing he had been gone a little longer than he intended. "We can talk about this tonight over drinks or something." He got up.

"Bones, um. Congrats again." Jim offered, as Leonard nodded and left.

"Captain, are you alright?" Spock asked when Bones was out of earshot.

"Yeah. I think I'm alright." He sighed. He had told himself he would leave her alone in the romantic way, but, it still didn't quell the pain that still managed to surface in the face of news like this.

Leonard went home to change before he went out to get a drink with the guys. Addy had been working in the emergency department that day, and wasn't due home for a few more hours. He made dinner, and left a note that he was going out in case she wondered where he was when she got home. He didn't plan on being out late, but anything could happen when Jim was around. He placed her plate in the fridge, changed and left.

Addy was not having a pleasant shift by any means. A large part of it were young cadets who had been doing stupid things to prove themselves to their friends. Two patients had been reacting violently to drugs in their system, being verbally abusive. If it had stayed at just verbal abuse, she would have been fine with it. It was when one young man broke free of his improperly placed restraints, that things were out of hand.

The man scrambled out of bed in a delirious state, as he he grabbed for her. Addy let out a sharp yell, and grabbed his hands, trying to hold him at a distance. As soon as she called for a behavioral code, she could hear the shoes hitting the ground running towards the room. The first responders to the code were in the doorway, seeing this power struggle when the patient kicked Addy in the stomach, causing her to double over breathless. This was his moment to put her in a headlock,, squeezing her neck tightly in the elbow joint.

The commotion around her filled her ears. The patient was screaming at the staff, the doctors and nurses were all yelling at the patient, the code alarm was warbling, and the IV alarm was ringing, declaring that the IV had been ripped out. Addy struggled to get some room between his arm and her throat, hoping to get a decent breath in, but none came. Her heart was beating faster, and her lungs burned begging for a fresh breath. She could feel the hands of the staff trying to pull her from his grasp, but he was not wanting to comply.

"Damn it! Get the Hypo!" She heard a familiar voice call before she began to fade. His gripped loosened, as she fell backwards into the people who had been trying to get her from his grasp. She was picked up off of the floor, as she looked up and saw the kind face of Dr. Charles moving the patient back into bed, a hypo still in his neck.

Addy was shivering as the adrenaline pumped through her system, her hand on her stomach. She had been moved to a private room on the other side of the ER so that Dr. Charles could examine her. He scanned her with his tricorder. "It's good to see you here, doc." She smiled weakly.

"Yeah, ever since the triage tent, I thought that I could benefit from some time in the ER. So, I got transferred here, though I'm still learning from the more seasoned ER docs." He smiled. "Well, your vitals are a little off, but I don't see why they wouldn't return to normal once your calm. I'm not seeing any other abnormalities." He read.

"What about my baby?" Addy asked softly, holding her abdomen.

"So far, it seems alright. I can't guarantee that it will stay that way, but for right now, your baby is fine." He gave her a reassuring smile, resting a hand on her arm.

"Thank you, Dr. Charles. I appreciate that." She sighed, still trying to shake her rush.

"Do you have anybody that can take you home?" He asked, writing some notes down.

"No, not right now, but I can get there by myself. I don't live that far from here." She smiled.

"Well, if you think you can get there by yourself, then I'd prefer you go home than stay here. I will need your statement as to what happened, and I will be calling your boyfriend to let him know, that's Dr. McCoy, correct?" He glanced over at her as she nodded. "Just so he is aware of the situation, and so he can monitor you and the baby at home. I don't imagine you want to try and explain what happened right now anyways."

"I would really appreciate that." She sniffled. Dr. Charles let her collect her things and walked her to the door.

"Be careful, alright?" the doctor called as she walked down the street away from the hospital. Addy stumbled into the apartment, tears on her face, as she worried. She drew a bath, wanting to relax with Leonard, but had found the note saying he would be out. Of course, if Dr. Charles called him sooner than later, he would likely be home a lot sooner than Leonard had anticipated, no doubt coming to make sure she was okay with his own eyes.

She settled into the tub, holding her arms across her stomach, needing to feel held. The redness around her neck was fading, and in some spots beginning to bruise, and a bruise was forming on her lower abdomen just to the side, a firm shoe print. She began to cry softly, letting out the adrenaline and emotion that had been built up behind her more solid exterior.

Without her comm, and no watches or clocks, she wasn't sure how long she had been in the bathtub. It was the sharp pain that woke her up, getting Leonards attention. She hadn't realized that he had even gotten home as she crawled out of the now room temperature water. Leonard threw open the bathroom door, seeing her halfway out of the tub.

"Jesus, Adelaide!" He cried, pulling her up and out of the tub. She doubled over in pain, falling to her knees as she teared up. It felt as though she had been stabbed in her uterus multiple times.

"Len, it hurts so bad." She cried, gritting. She looked at the floor towards her knees, watching as blood ran down her thighs, dispersing into the puddle of water she had created in her exit from the tub. Leonard sat next to her, holding her closely, rocking her.

"We need to get you back into the hospital." He whispered, trying to reassure her.

"I don't want to move." She retched from the intensity of the pain, gathering a handful of his shirt into her fist.

Leonard went to their room, bringing back a long night shirt, underwear, a few pads and his tricorder. His first order was to scan her, as she sobbed in pain. He pulled out his comm dialing for a medic, before dressing her as best he could, and carrying her outside. He held her crying form, as she shivered and clenched in his arms. He tried to kiss her sweating forehead, trying to calm her, but she was too lost in the physical plague.

Leonard took over the medic van, as he was the doctor, and they were medics, but he made sure they called ahead, specifically for Dr. Charles who had cleared her for home, and had been aware of the assault earlier that evening. Leonard was met by that doctor as they pulled up into the emergency vehicle bay.

"What happened?" Dr. Charles opened the back of the van with haste and worry.

"She was in the tub, and she started just, bleeding... she was in a great amount of pain, and received 2 hypos of dilaudid. Her BP upon arrival on scene was 180's over 130's, most likely a response to the pain, as it's slowly coming down. Heart rate was 120's, now 90's. She has lost about roughly a quart of blood between the beginning to now." He spoke quickly, ushering her into a room.

"You haven't seen her shed any lining or the fetus?" Dr. Charles took his tricorder scanning her for the second time that evening. Leonard just shook his head.

"It's been blood and pain." He shook his head.

"I'll take her to run some tests. Do you want to stay back here with her?" He offered.

"I'm going to make a couple of calls, actually, I'll come back in when I'm done. She should be back from imaging by then." Leonard said as he stepped out.

His first call was to Nyota, who had been their biggest supporter since finding out, and being Addys best female friend. She could hear the uncertainty in the doctors voice as he explained what was going on. She was horrified as she reassured him that they would be there in a few minutes. Leonard wasn't expecting a party of people, but he knew that Addy would at least want Nyota there.

Leonard was in the waiting room when Spock, Nyota and naturally, Jim raced in. Leonard had been trying hard to maintain his composure, but broke down as Nyota brought him in for a tight hug. It was her crying that set his own in motion.

"I don't know whats going to happen." Leonard choked. "I was her doctor, I was supposed to take care of her. This shouldn't be happening." He was, for the first time that night, realizing how terrified he was of possibly losing this child. This cluster of cells that had not so much as a name yet.

"Dr. Charles is taking care of her right now. Nice though, he has good bedside manners." Leonard tried to reassure himself, pointing out the good things about the doctor.

"Is she sleeping? Can we go in and see her?" Jim piped up, concern written on his face.

"She went for imaging, so I don't know when she'll be back." Leonard replied honestly.

Together, they sat quietly in the waiting room, when the sound of the heavy door opening broke their individual trains of though. A young man in a lab coat came out, the man Leonard recognized as Dr. Charles.

"If you would like to come into a private waiting room?" The doctor held the door, leading them to a more personal room, with two couches and a chair. It was one of the hospitals grieving rooms, and already Leonard didn't like where this conversation was going.

When they sat down, Dr. Charles began. "Well, I have good news, and bad news. Which would you like first?"
