Home, sweet home. Leonard loves being in Georgia, especially around Christmas. It was better this year because he was spending it with his mama, Joanna, Jim and George. Pike was off-planet and his mother insisted that he invite the Kirk siblings to spend the holiday with the McCoy family. "Mom, Lenny's here!" Jim and George chuckled as Donna, Leonard's sister, opened the door.

He rolled his eyes but pulled her into a hug, "Hey, Don."

She hugged him back before looking at Jim, "Holy shit. You said she was beautiful but that's an understatement."

Jim blushed, "Nice to finally meet you."

His sister looked at George and raised an eyebrow, "And you are?"

The biologist smiled, "I'm Doctor George Kirk. It's nice to meet you, Donna."

Jim and Leonard looked at each other and said in unison, "She's married."

George chuckled, "Your husband is a very lucky man, Donna." Leonard's been on the receiving end of the Kirk charm, so he knew it when he saw it.

"Oh dear God," he said as he walked around his sister and into his mother's house with Jim right behind him.

"Leo."

He smiled at his mother, "Hey, mama." He could admit that he was a sap for his mother.

She pulled him into her arms and hugged him tight, "You look good, Sug. A lot better than when you left. And this must be Jim." He nodded as she turned to his girlfriend.

Jim nodded, "Yes, ma'am. Thank you for inviting us."

His mama looked Jim up and down before she smiled at her, "Ain't you just the prettiest thing. Get over here."

His mom pulled Jim into a hug before moving to her brother, "And look at you."

He gave her a bright smile, "Hello, ma'am." No, he had better not even think about it.

"Sam, no flirting with Bones' mother."

He glared at his sister, "I can't help it. Your boyfriend's family has good genes." Everyone chuckled at that. Whatever Leonard was about to say died on the tip of his tongue when his daughter and his brother-in-law entered the room.

"Daddy!" She jumped into his arms.

"Hey, sweetheart. What did you do to your Uncle Fred?" His brother-in-law was covered in paint and glitter.

She just shrugged, "He helped me make a poster. You're early so it's not ready yet." He nodded at his daughter who wiggled out of his arms. "Hi, Miss Jim."

The woman in question knelt to his daughter's level and hugged her, "Hey, Jelly bean." Everyone watched as the two interacted with each other. He couldn't help but smile and his mama gave him the I-saw-that nudge. He had no idea what they were talking about but they chatted away.

Then Jo pointed at George and whispered, "Who is he?"

Jim chuckled, "That's my big brother, George. I call him Sam but I'm the only one."

Joanna looked at the tall blonde, "Hi Mister George. I'm Joanna."

George knelt down too, "Hello, Joanna. It's nice to meet you. Your dad and my sister talk about you all the time." Leonard looked at Jim, who smiled. Playboy George was gone as he talked to Leonard's little girl. Jim told him that her brother was good with kids, she wasn't kidding. Joanna wrapped that man around her finger -just like she had the rest of them- in no time flat.

Eventually, they got settled in and Leonard walked into the kitchen where his mama and sister were baking. "Alright, go ahead."

The two women looked at him and his sister started, "I like her, hell, I like them both. They're sweet and Joanna likes them. You know her, she doesn't like everybody." He nodded. It was Jocelyn's fault; her father and Clay were not nice people and his daughter knew it. Clay tried to force her to call him daddy at one point but she refused, she told him that she already had a daddy. He laughed his ass off when Donna let him in on that one.

"Mama?" he asked.

They both looked at their mother, "I don't know yet, Sug. I liked Jocelyn and that she-devil broke your heart and tried to take my grandbaby. Let me get to know Jim a bit before I make up my mind." Leonard smiled; she could've said 'no' but the fact that she didn't was a good thing. They were going to be here a few days, so his mama had time.

"You love her, don't ya, Lenny?" Donna asked.

He looked at his sister, "Yea. I do. And for the millionth time, stop callin' me that."

Donna chuckled, "Jim has a nickname for you. Where did that whole Bones thing come from?"

He was about to answer when Jim walked into the room, "The only thing that Jocelyn let him keep."

His sister laughed, "I get it. You meet her?" Jim nodded as a look crossed her face.

His mama looked at Jim, "You don't like her much, I see."

"No, ma'am, I don't. It's not even about Bones, he's an adult and he can take care of himself. It's about Joanna. If you hate your ex, fine but don't make your kid suffer," Jim said to his mother and sister.

Donna looked at Jim, "Sounds like you've had some experience with that."

George entered the room behind Jim, "Our mother tried to kill her. We don't talk about it much but it happened. She was four and I was eight. If I hadn't walked in…" He stopped talking and shook his head.

Jim wrapped her arms around his waist, "It wasn't your fault and I'm fine."

The tall blonde nodded, "I know. Still, she's our mother. I couldn't believe she would do that to you. I'll never forgive her for it."

Jim did tell him the whole story. It involved little Jim and a bathtub full of water. George had to bite Winona's arm to get her to let Jim's head go. He prayed to everything that was holy that he never met Winona Kirk.

Mama looked at Jim and George, "You said your papa was off planet. What did he think about all this?"

Jim took a breath, "He's our adopted dad but he still has to be kept away from her. She tried to talk to me once. Popped up in San Francisco like it was nothing. I have never seen the look that crossed dad's face before or since. He practically growled at her and when she tried to make a move for me; he almost knocked her on her ass. Told her to stay the hell away from me and Sammy."

Donna shook her head, "She makes Jocelyn sound like a saint."

Jim chuckled, "Not really. Evil is evil."

Mama chuckled, "Ain't that the truth, child." Donna and mama asked Jim more questions and they kicked Leonard and George out of the kitchen.

He kissed Jim's temple, "You'll be fine."

George couldn't contain his laughter, "The girl is like a real-life superhero, fighting Romulans and flying spaceships and hacking computers like it's nothing but put her in a room with your mom and your sister and she's terrified.

He chuckled, "Well, mama is scarier than the Romulans. We all know they want to kill us but ya won't know that mama will hurt ya 'til it's too late."
