Amanda didn't know what to say; in less than twenty minutes she had watched as her son's betrothed died giving birth to her grandchild, had held said women's bondmate as he almost died on the floor and was then handed the cause of all this as if it were the most precious thing in the universe.
As Amanda took the little bundle into her arms and peered at its tiny face and it peeked wide knowing brown eyes back at her she knew that this little bundle in her arms was the most precious thing in the universe to her right now.
Amanda stood there in the empty waiting room holding her grandson waiting for them to tell her what she already knew in her heart, this child was Spock's. She could see it in his brown eyes. They were so much like Spock's, and his were so much like hers.
Almost an hour later Sarek arrived. Amanda hadn't even greeted him yet when another doctor came up to them both.
"The child is your kin Sarek, Lady Amanda. There is no doubt that your grandson is 26.3% human. We recommend that your son return to Vulcan as soon as possible to bond with the child so it may develop properly." And just like that the doctor walked away as quick as he came.
After a moment Sarek began to speak, "You have not called Spock yet?" Sarek asked.
Amanda was still smiling at the now sleeping baby in her arms, "No I did not, it was such a disaster when I got here and things only escalated from there, then suddenly I was holding him and I just forgot everything else." Amanda said brightly.
Sarek nodded and took her arm, "Let us go home. You can explain to me what has transpired and when we are home we can both call Spock." Sarek said calmly as he walked his wife and grandson out the door and into the hot Vulcan sun.
