A/N: Sorry for the bit of the wait, I've been quite busy with company coming over and other stuff. Thank you very much to the people have reviewed and to the people who have read, I appreciate it greatly! I hope you enjoy, the story is coming to a close very soon.

Oh! Random comment, I just got two t-shirts for Comic Con, one is Spock is the Trek symbol (omg! That shirt is hot!) and the other is a scene from the bridge. I can't wait until Comic Con!! :D Is anyone else going?

I woke up to a slight tapping on my shoulder, "Go away," I mumbled into the pillow and immediately fell back asleep.

There it was again, that damn tapping, but this time it was not alone. "Jim?" I heard quietly.

"Hm?" I slurred as I turned my head and sleepily gaze up to the love of my life. ""Wha?"

He hesitated for a second, "I need your assistance."

"With what?" I asked waking up a little bit more. "What time is it?"

"It is 8:05 in the morning."

"Jeez." I sighed, rubbing my hands over my face in a futile attempt to fully wake up.

"I waited as long as I felt comfortable before coming to you."

"What's the matter?" I asked, "I keep gettin these weird vibes through that linky thing."

"I feel you should see for yourself."

He grabbed my hand to pull me off the bed and handed me a shirt. We walked out of my room, Spock a little bit ahead of me and headed down towards the kitchen. Right as I was going to ask him what was wrong I stopped short.

There on the dining room table, where I ate every meal as a child, was my mother, lying in only her underwear and bra passed out, completely dead to the world. There were candy wrappers littering the ground around the table and random items of food scattered across the entire kitchen.

"What the hell?" I croaked.

"I did not know what to do."

"How did she even get here? Last time I checked she was completely out in her bedroom."

"I am at a loss." Spock stated.

"You and me both." I said as I treaded into the room. "Did she fight someone in here? Cause this is like a damn warpath"

"I have ruled out that scenario."

"How did we not hear this?"

"I do not know."

"Should I wake her up?" I asked.

"I do not know."

"You're really helpful this morning, did you know that?"

"I sense you are being 'sarcastic'," he remarked.

"Well duh. Now should I wake her up or not?"

"Sure."

"Did you just say sure?" I asked.

"I did not know what else to say." He said, looking down.

"I liked it." I said smiling. "Okay, I'm gonna do it."

I cautiously walked over to her on the tabled and poked her shoulder. "Mom?" I called lightly.

She didn't budge.

I tried again, this time I got something; it just wasn't what I was expecting. She let out the largest fart I have ever heard.

"Holy shit!" I cried jumping back into Spock, who seemed to have froze at the noise. "Did she just do that?" I said in between my laughter. I haven't laughed this hard in a long time and I just couldn't stop. I could see Spock trying with all of his might to hold back from laughing out loud as well.

"Do you smell that?" I gagged, still laughing. "Oh my god!"

After a few more moments I finally settled down enough to think of what I needed to do next.

"Do you think I should just roll her off or something?"

"I think that would be unwise." He replied.

"Well what do you suggest, oh smart one?"

"Perhaps you could try to wake her up again?"

"Do you really think so?" I asked, looking over to her.

"Yes."

"Why don't you do it?"

"She is your mother."

"That's a bullshit excuse and you know it."

"With all of this time wasted you could have already woken her up."

"Fine." I grumbled as I crept towards her. When she was within an arms reach I slowly raised my hand and shook her.

Everything was still for a second, but then she opened one eye and looked straight at me and screamed, "Go away!"

I felt a fear that I hadn't since Nero and I ran so fast I'm surprised I didn't run through the floor. Somewhere at the back of my mind I worried for Spock, but then I heard him right behind me. I screeched to a halt in my room and catapulted onto my bed. Spock slammed the door shut and quickly made his way towards me.

"Do you still think she is a hoot?" I asked as he wrapped his arms around me.

"No."

We sat like that for a few minutes, both staring at the door, not saying anything. I was starting to get tired again since the adrenaline wearing off.

"Do you think we should go down and check on her?" I asked, from my spot in his shoulder.

"I am uncertain if that would be wise."

"Why? Do you think she's woken up yet?"

"I can here her rummaging around in the kitchen."

"You can?"

"It sounds as if she looking in the refrigerator."

"Shit, that can't be good, can it?"

"It might prove a decent distraction, which will allow us to ascertain the situation."

"I'll go if you go."

We decided to wait 15 minutes before we would go and check in on my mother. After the 15 minutes were up, we reluctantly got up and slowly walked to the door. I hesitated a moment, looking back at Spock, before I opened it. Once we got to the stairs I could hear her in the kitchen.

"You tell anyone this and I'll kill you, but I'm scared. Did you see her face when she screamed earlier?"

"Your secret is safe with me. If you wish, I could go first."

"No, no. I'll go."

And so I did go first, albeit a bit reluctantly, and when I made it to the kitchen I was stunned. It was spotless, nothing was on the ground and the table was made, you would never have guessed only 20 minutes ago she was fast asleep on it.

"Mom?" I called quietly.

"Oh, Jimmy. There you are!" she said brightly. "And there's my other favorite boy!" she said to Spock. "Sit, sit! Breakfast is almost ready!"

"Mom, what happened? Last time I was down here you, well you scared the shit out of me and Spock."

"You know I don't like it when you curse."

"Sorry," I mumbled.

"And I don't know what you're talking about. I've been cooking breakfast, and that's it."

Was she really gonna play this game? "Mom, come on? You can't say you don't remember."

"I have no clue what you're talking about. Now sit, it's just about done."

I looked back at Spock and he shrugged, well you know, Vulcan shrugged and sat down. I didn't know what else to do, so I sat down too.

I guess we were going to pretend like none of that happened. Fine by me, cause that scared the shit out of me.

This breakfast was extra good, now all of my moms cooking is, but I could tell she was trying very hard to make up for something, one guess for what it was.

"So, did you boys like the party yesterday?" My mom asked after a few minutes.

"I can't believe how huge it's gotten! Its only been like what, seven years since I've last been. Its crazy!"

"It was quite spectacular." Spock commented.

"Yeah, it started with one of those big jump things that kids love jumping in—"

"I love those!"

"Jim, don't interrupt your mother."

"Sorry."

"Thank you Spock. As I was saying, it started with the big jump and it just started getting bigger from there."

We finished up breakfast and Spock and I headed into the living room while my mom cleaned up.

"I have been meaning to ask you a question," Spock said.

"Yeah? What's that?"

"What is this date we are going on?"

"You don't know what a date is?"

"Of course I know what a date is. What will we be doing on this date?"

"Well it's semi surprise, all you can know is that we're going to dinner." I said with a smirk.

"I am not a fan of surprises."

"Well, I hope you get used to them, cause I love surprising people. And since you're the man I love, you're gonna get the brunt of it."

Eyebrow.

"Oh, stop I can tell through that little link thingy that you like the idea that you're gonna be the one who get all of my attention."

"I will not lie, I do look forward to our future."

"Me too!" I said, kissing him on the cheek.

"As long as you do not kill yourself in the process."

"Would I do something like that?" I asked, jokingly.

"Yes."

"Well excuse me! It's not my fault that all these situations happen to me."

"Yes it is."

"Okay, maybe it is, but get used to that too!"

"I wish I did not have to."

We sat around for a few more hours, just enjoying being lazy for a little while. Finally it was time for me to start setting up for the big date. I had called earlier this morning; during what Spock thought was a pee break. Luckily an old fling of mine, Annie, was the hostess, and even luckier was that we left things on a good note so she happily agreed to close off a little back corner of the restaurant where we could be more alone.

Spock was keeping my mother entertained, although a bit against his will. He was still a bit frightened by her earlier display this morning. I had told him that she really wanted to get to know him and have a heart to heart. While that was true, it was mainly for my benefit so that I could arrange everything for tonight.

I had called my old friend Tim, who now owned this little flower shop and had arranged for a bunch of roses to be delivered to the restaurant ahead of time and set up around the table.

Finally is was about an hour or so before our reservation tonight and my mom let Spock go so that he could get ready for the night. I was completely ready by the time my mom had let him go. I was wearing a black collared shirt with the sleeves rolled up to my elbows and a pair of nicely fitting jeans, very simple but it did the job of making me look good. So now I was in the study room downstairs, pacing a hole in the floor, feeling the wait of the ring in my pocket.

"Jimmy?" my mother called from the doorway.

"Yeah?"

"You shouldn't be so nervous. You know what his answer is going to be."

"I know, but still this is really scary. I mean, I know we are already together forever and all that stuff but still, this is marriage. This is like a whole different thing."

"Not really, you guys are already married in the eyes of Vulcan society already. So now you'll just be married n ours as well."

"How do you know all that stuff?"

"I was in Starfleet you know, and I happened to form a friendship with a Vulcan, I learned a lot from her."

"Really?"

"Yeah, she died when Vulcan was destroyed though. But soon you'll know a lot more than me. You two are going to teach each other a lot of things during your future together."

"Do you really think so?"

"I know so Jimmy, you two will be the couple of the century. I'm sure of it."

"Thanks mom."

"No problem, dear. Now go take your man on this date, I hear him coming down the stairs."

"Okay," I said, more confident now. "I love you, mom."

"I love you too, Jimmy."

I walked into the hallway and met Spock at the bottom of the stairs. I do have to say, he took my breath away. He too was wearing a black collared shirt, but also a pair of black slacks. I do have to say; he looked really good in all black.

"Jim," he said. "I am ready."

"Damn right you are. You look incredible."

"Thank you, although I think you are the beauty here tonight."

Way to make me blush, "Are you ready to go?"

"Yes." He said, taking my hand.

We got into the car and headed to the restaurant. The nerves were starting to build up again, but I felt Spock squeeze my hand and they just went away. I loved this man and I really did want to marry him. Now the only thing I felt was excitement.

A/N: Sorry this is a little short, I wanted the date to have its own chapter and I couldn't think of anything else to put here. I hope you all enjoyed the chapter.

Please, please, please review!!!!
