Author's note: Anyone excited about this last chapter? I probably won't put any Star trek stuff up for a little bit. I'm going to be too busy with some Supernatural stories. Anyway..

McCoy's POV

I wake up, only to find Spock sitting beside me, waiting for me to wake up. "Good Morning, Spock?"

"Doctor. Jim sent me down to talk to you, and insisted that I not return until I do." Dammit, Jim… Are you trying to kill me? "Doctor, I do believe your act of engaging in combat was quite illogical. Would you mind explaining it to me?"

"I didn't want Scotty coming back and being like, this."

"I do believe that Mr. Scott was in a better condition than you. Is there any reason you would believe otherwise?"

"No, Spock. I was just trying to keep him safe."

"Forgive me for asking about your personal life, Doctor. But, due to recent events, I must ask. Are you two in a relationship?" The doors slide open, revealing Scotty.

"Yes, Spock. I believe we are." I say, smiling, as Spock turns around an sees Scotty.

"I will leave you two alone. I'll be on the bridge if you need me." And with that, the pointy eared bastard leaves. I don't know how long I'll be able to go without making fun of the damn Vulcan…

"Hi, Scotty. What brings you to sickbay?" I say, as Scotty walks over and takes a seat.

"I talked to nurse Chapel while you were asleep. She said we can take you to your quarters until you heal, if you'd prefer."

"Honestly, I'd love that. But how am I supposed to get there?"

"If you'd really like to, I've agreed to carry you."

"I don't wanna make you do that!" I say, him picking me up anyway.

"I don't care. You'd rather be in your room, I'm gonna get you there." He says, laughing a bit.

I give in, laying my head on his shoulder. I close my eyes and take a few moments to breathe. I could get used to this.. Well, not being injured, but being this close to Scotty. We get to my room and the door slides open. He walks over to my bed and carefully lays me down.

"Thank you." He smiles at me. "Scotty, I mean it. This really means a lot to me." I say, holding his hand.

"I know. Get some sleep, I'll be back later to check on you." Still holding my hand, he gives me a quick kiss on my forehead before he leaves.

He's my miracle. It was a long and lonely road, but I got there. I can't believe how lucky I am…

~one week later.

My eyes open, slowly, as I begin to wake up. I see the shadow of a figure leaning up against the wall, head down. "Hello?" I say, with no response. I slowly get up and walk over to the person. "Scotty, what are you doing here?" I ask, reaching towards him. He jumps, awakening.

"What? Oh! Good morning!" He says, turning on the lights and then practically tackling me.

"What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to be the first to welcome you to your first day back at work!"

"Oh, right.. That's today."

"Captain Kirk wants you on call today – in other words… He wants you to ease back into it and start your first day being on the bridge."

"Would you like to walk me up there?" I ask, knowing he will.

"I'd love to." We stand there, staring at each other. I step closer to him, not breaking eye contact until he has me in his warm embrace. We both back away slowly, so I give him a quick kiss before we go to work.

The turbo lift door opens, and Scotty and I both step out onto the bridge. "Bones!" Jim says, tackling me to the ground. I wince, having Jim's knee in my stomach. "Sorry.. I'm glad you made it! We've missed you." He says, showing off his pouting face. I resume my position behind Jim's chair. "so, Bones. How's it going with your boyfriend?"

"Dammit, Jim! I'm a doctor, not a teenage girl! I don't wanna talk about my relationship in front of my coworkers." Jim laughs.

"Bones is back everybody!"

Author's note: Awesome place to end, right? This is the last chapter of this story – partially because nothing else wanted to be written. *no offense to any teenage girl who may be reading this.
