Chapter 9
It was just another day at Starfleet Academy. The U.S.S Enterprise finally came back to Earth. Commander Spock was taking a stroll around the shuttles, until he saw an old Vulcan.
"Father," he called out.
The old Vulcan stopped walking and turned around. "I am not our father."
They walked to each other.
"There are so a few Vulcans left. We cannot afford to ignore each other," Spock Prime said.
"Then why did you send Kirk aboard when you alone could explain the truth?" Spock asked.
"Because you needed each other. I could not deprive you of the revelation involved what you could accomplish together. Of a friendship that would define you both in ways yet realized."
"How did you persuade him to keep your secret?"
"He infer that universe ending paradox would assume he break his promise."
"You lied."
"I…implied."
"A gamble."
"An act of faith. One I hope you will repeat in the future of Starfleet."
"In this faith of extinction, the only logical choice is to resign my Starfleet command and help rebuild our race."
"And yet, you could be in two places at once. I urge you to remain in Starfleet. I already located a suitable planet to which to establish a new colony. Spock, in this case, do yourself a favor. Put aside logic and do what feels right," he saw something in the corner of his eyes. "Plus, you already have a life on Earth."
Spock turned around and saw Jasmine headed towards them.
"Can I ask you a query?"
"Of course."
"What happened to Jasmine and I?"
"Everything was wonderful. I miss seeing her and the children."
"Children?"
"Since my custom farewell is oddly revering, I should simply say, good luck," Spock Prime ignored Spock's question and put up the Vulcan sign.
And Spock did the same.
"Hey.
Jasmine kissed Spock's cheek. "Who was that?"
"Just a friend," Spock answered.
"I have news for you." Jasmine had a grin on her face.
"What is it?"
Jasmine held onto Spock's hands and moved them to her stomach. "I'm pregnant."
If the half Vulcan-half human could smile, Spock would. "Fascinating."
"Now come on, we need to see Jim's inauguration."
"This assembly calls Captain James Tiberius Kirk," Admiral Bennett said. "Your inspirational valor and supreme dedication to your comrades is in keeping with the highest traditions of service, and reflect utmost credit to yourself, your crew, and the federation. It is my honor to award you with this commendation." He placed a badge on Jim's chest. "By Starfleet Order 28455, you are herby directed to report to Admiral Pike, U.S.S Enterprise, for duty as his relief."
Jasmine was smiling as Jim was walking over to Pike, who was wheeled to him in a wheelchair.
"I relieve you, sir," Jim said.
"I am relieved," Pike replied.
"Thank you, sir."
Pike smiled and held out his hand. "Congratulation, Captain. Your father would be proud."
Jim smiled and shook his hand and turned to face his fellow cadets and officers. They all stood up and applauded.
After everyone left; Jasmine, Jim, Spock, Uhura, Sulu, Scotty, Chekov, McCoy, and Pike gathered around.
"Congratulation, Jim!" Jasmine hugged her brother.
"Thank you."
"Um…everyone," they looked at her. "Spock and I have an announcement. We're having a child!"
"The men gabbed, except McCoy because he knew, while Uhura jumped up and down.
"This is so cute!"
"This is so weird…" the men said.
"Fist, I found out you are dating Spock. Now, I found out you are having a child with Spock," Jim said.
"Admiral Pike?"
"Yes Commander Kirk?"
"May Spock and I talk to you in private?"
"Of course."
When the others left, the three of them talked.
"Chris…if something happened to us in the future, I want you to look after the child," jasmine said.
"You know I will do anything for you," Pike said.
"I just can't stay here while Spock goes out into space. I'm scared he will not come back," Jasmine all most cried.
"Don't worry about it, Jas," Pike said. "Now, go out and be with your friends."
"Okay, goodbye Chris. And I'm glad you're back."
"I'm glad to be back."
"Goodbye, Admiral Pike."
"Goodbye, Spock."
I am sorry about this chapter being short and not good. I'm in a rush on doing this chapter (I have a test tomorrow).
