I would first like to apologize to everyone for not updating at least once a month but all I can say is school is the only excuse I can use. Its been taking alot more time than I thought, I also haven't been very motivated cause the one person who was role playing Star Trek with me stopped talking to me without warning. If anyone is interested in rp Star Trek please message me. I also have to keep myself from putting together my two Star Trek stories into one just so I will have less to write.

I would like to thank The Avid Musician,shadowfox2011,Dewliet,Vyxen Hexgrim, Anna (Guest), shinogirl93, fg-fan, for adding my story to their alerts/favorites, and the nice reviews that I've gotten. And everyone else who is reading my story cause I know I did lose people who just couldn't be patient enough to wait so thanks everyone who is still reading my story and giving it a chance.

Chapter 10

I look over at Jim and feel myself roll my eyes; if he was never a part of everything I did he would throw a fit like a child. "That's the problem with working on a ship with family members." I say, watching Jim walk out of the food area and drop his fake smile as soon as he turned the corner. I don't even have to be there to know what he does, I know him too well and he knows me. "So if ye'll not his 'eal sister, how did ya meet him?" Scotty says trying to break the awkward silence, if Spock wasn't here it wouldn't have been so awkward, but he just seems to make any group moment awkward. I look up at both of them and set my notebook and pencil down on the table.

"How long ya got?" I ask both of them, curious to see what they would say. Usually when someone says that, everyone knows it's going to be a long, sad, life story that nobody wants to hear. "I can stay awhile." Scotty says placing the notebooks down in a random pile as we both look over at Spock. He gives us a look then looks at his PADD before placing it back on the table. "I also 'have the time'." He says trying to use the right figurative statement even though I knew the exact thing he was thinking about, it is illogical to have 'time' since it is impossible to have 'time' in one's position.

Scotty and I both look at each other with a surprised and amused look before I lean forward on my hands. "Well I won't tell you my life story, just how we came about together. It all started in a small bar in the middle of nowhere. I had stopped in to get a drink of water when this asshole, drunk of his ass started to hit on me after I told him to piss off, he kept hitting on me till I tried to leave. Then he grabbed my arm and threw me against the bar counter." I say while taking a drink of my glass as Scotty makes a face. "That couldn't have been good." he says making me shake my head with a half smirk.

"I warned him not to touch me again and as I stood up he did it again. Well this time I ripped my arm away and socked him hit in the face. He fell into a table of mean lookin guys who got up and looked over at me. One thing lead to another and everyone was throwing punches and glass bottles every which way. I had made it to the door to try and leave, but the asshole founded me and threw me outside in the dirt. That's when Jim stepped in and socked the guy in the face then grabbed me before the authorities could show up and arrest me for starting a bar fight. "I tap my chin thinking back at that moment as Scotty and Spock glance at each other than back at me."He broke the law to hide you from authorities?" Spock says finally as I let out a slight chuckle then nodded my head.

"He fixed up my wounds and gave me a place to stay which really wasn't much to begin with since he was on the move himself and all he really had was a motorcycle. I tried to go on my way but he just getting pushing that he would take me and since then I've been stuck with him." I say, tapping the table with my finger tips as I look up at both of them. "Every time I got in a fight or some guy was hitting on me, he would step in and put himself in the way. I never had someone care so much about me like Jim does, he knows all my secrets, and how I got every cut and scar. My dreams and nightmares and never holds them against me. The last bar fight we were in was when we met Pike and he had somehow convinced me and Jim to join Starfleet."

I open my notebook and start doodling on one of the pages as Scotty stops leaning on his hand and places it on the table. "Then what happen?" He asks leaning closer to me as Spock got a little relaxed and moved slightly forward as well, but no one could have seen it. "We met Bones, all three of us were out of place in the mix of cadets and we just stuck together and then here we are, to the present. Jim is Captain, Bones if the top Chief Medical person and I am a simple nerd who got to kick a Klingon in the face and live to tell about it." I say tipping my cup to Spock who blinks then tenses back up as the story ended and the focus was back on him.

"That was a…information story." Spock says not sure what to say as I smile at him and start to gather my papers and notebooks. "Well that was just a slice of my hell that I have lived. Not even the worse parts of my life." I say mumbling the last part as Scotty gathers the rest of his papers and notebooks then stands up trying to balance the bundle in his arms. Spock and I stand up from the table and look over at him with a confused, un-amusing look at his idiot move as he walks off trying to keep a tight grip on his papers while I care my nice pile of papers in my arms and follow after him. "Ensign…"Spock begins to say as I stop in the hallway and look over at him as he walks up to me with his hands behind his back.

"You will inform if your 'project' starts to get out of hand with Officer Montgomery, correct?" He says making me chuckle before I start walking over to the turbo lift and pushes the button to go to a different level. "Yes Commander, I will inform you if our scheming gets out of hand, but I'm sure we can control anything that happens." I say before looking down the hall at Scotty trying to pick up all his papers from the ground while snapping at others who try to help him and look at his work. "Don't let that contradict what I just said." I say while pointing over at Scotty as I stare at Spock then walks into the lift and goes to my level with my room on it.

I up to my room and punch in my security code before walking into my room and looking up at see Jim lying on my bed, staring at the ceiling. I feel my eye twitch as I walk over to my safe and place all my papers and journals into it then locks it. "So how are your boyfriends?" Jim finally says after a few minutes of silence and tension. "There it is." I say waiting for him to say something snarky as I drag my chair from my computer and sit in front of him and my bed. I watch him sit up with a hurt look on his face that makes me roll my eyes at him being over sensitive as always. "Can't believe we're going to have this conversation again but you know Scotty is not my boyfriend. He's my teacher." I say as I cross my arms and one leg over the other while glaring at him. "And my first officer?" He asks with attitude while glaring back at me from his seat. "No, Captain, I am not dating your first officer." I say turning into an Ensign, if he was going to use over my head that I'm not dating Spock then I'm going to treat him like a Captain and not my brother.

I could see the pain and anger grow on his face as I watch him stand from my bed and walk over to my door. "You are confided to your quarters till further notice." He says before leaving my room as I bite my bottom lip to stop myself from say thing and making this worse. Once he leaves my room, I throw my chair across the room in anger. The real problem was Jim is always jealous if I got along with another man, he was too protective over me and ruined any other relationship I tried to have. I walk over to my chair and pick it off the floor then set it next to the computer and turn on the screen.

I felt my face get red in anger as I look at the top message from Jim telling everyone on the ship that I was confide to my quarters and that Scotty was to stop working on our secret project or he would get the same punishment. I pull my hand down my face roughly as I tried to stay calm and not punch my fist through my computer screen. I would end up busting my hand and breaking my only entertainment then I would be stuck having to read, fuck that. "Mother fucker." I say in anger as my video chat pops up at the same time, showing Spock Prime on the other end making my face drop.

"I swear I was not calling you that, I was talking about Jim in anger not you I swear." I say while waving my hands in defense as I get angrier at myself for not being able to control my big mouth and anger problems. "What conflict are you and Jim having this time?" He says, just sitting calm in his office not moved by my sudden outcome. I lean back in my chair while rubbing both my hands on my face while letting out an angry sigh. "Jim is being a baby because Scotty and I have a secret project we are doing on the side and we are not including him in our evil little plan." I say while taking my hands off my face and drop them to my sides as I stare back at him.

"How is Montgomery Scott doing on the Enterprise?" He says asking about his old friend, sort of. He was still adjusting to seeing his old friends grow up again while he stayed old and had to watch his younger self go through his life with a different destiny then his. "Scotty loves this ship more than anyone else does. The most beautiful women could walk past him and he wouldn't even look up at her." I say while shifting my seat and cross my legs under myself while tapping my fingers on the desk top. "He did have a wild fascination with the Enterprise, I am glad to see he has not changed." He says while glancing down at his old hands that were crossed in his lap.

I tilt my head to the side as I watch his face and emotion change, I want to reach out and touch him if he was here next to me. "If you ever feel alone, you can always come on the Enterprise for a few weeks so you can be around with me and Jim." I say, while biting my bottom lip hoping that would change the tension of the conversation as I watch him look back at me and his emotion lightened up a bit. "I know we aren't the same people you know, but it's never too late to make new friends and you know Jim will always welcome you on his…our….ship." I say as I rub my hands together hoping I wasn't pushing the line with his person life. Younger Spock got very defensive if anyone asked him any personal information about him.

"I will take that into consideration and make a plan with Jim." He says finally as he gives me a small smile in return as I smiled back at him feeling the tension disappear. "You should do it now cause I'm on locked down and you could tell him to let me go." I tell him while swaying in my seat from side to side as he had to hold back a chuckle. "You know I can not affect Jim's decisions as a captain. I will plan another trip with him to see both of you, but you must be patient." he says making me pout before we both logged off the computer. "Maybe I don't wanna be patient anymore." I mumble before I get off my seat while turning off the lights in my room and fall backwards on my bed to try and get some sleep since I wasn't going to the rest of my shifts today.
