Chapter 12

Leonard Horatio McCoy, or Bones to one infuriatingly smug star ship captain, scowled as he adjusted the collar on his dress uniform once again. He did not want to be dressed in his monkey suit and participating in the evening's events, but not for the reason his lover thought.

"Bones, have I mentioned how hot you look in that uniform? Of course, it will look even better on our floor." Kirk whispered to his scowling boyfriend and sent him a quick wink, which in turn had most of the crew rolling their eyes. Despite what Kirk thought and Bones hoped, they were the worst keep secret on the ship.

"Cheer up; once this dinner is over, I'll have you out of that suit in no time." Kirk promised, heat filling his eyes as he pictured just how he would get his Bones out of his uniform.

Bones raised an eyebrow in challenge. "We'll see who gets who out of their uniform first." Bones was grateful for his lover's never-ending attempts to get and keep him naked; they were a welcome distraction from the stress ahead. He had been dreading this moment ever since Kirk informed the crew that the Ambassadors for Torchwood, Jack and Ianto Harkness-Jones, were coming aboard the Enterprise while in route to a diplomatic meeting.

Bones shifted uncomfortably as he waited for the arrival of his great-grandparents in the conference hall and fortunately, it was just moments later when the doors opened and Jack and Ianto were escorted into the room. Dressed in a stylish black and red suit, Ianto Harkness-Jones looked like a lot of peoples' walking dream-come-true. On the other hand, while styles may have changed throughout the years, Jack still preferred his 1941 dress uniform to the clothes of the modern-dayera. In the eyes of his loving husband, Jack was still a dashing hero from days long gone and Ianto wouldn't have it any other way.

Jack took a glance around the room and easily spotted the man he was looking for. "Lenny!" he waved at the scowling man and with his hand locked with Ianto's bounced his way over to their great-grandson, ignoring all others.

Bones was grateful that he had shared his rather interesting family history with James; his lover had a habit of pouting and becoming rather possessive when someone showed any interest in McCoy. Much like Jack was with Ianto, James Tiberius Kirk did not share well with others.

Jack and Ianto came to a stop a few feet from where Bones and Kirk waited for them. "Come on, Lenny, give your dear old great-granddad a hug!" Jack grinned broadly as he flung his arms wide open.

"No." Leonard rolled his eyes at the pout that graced Jack's face.

"Ianto, our great-grandson is ashamed of me." Jack whined theatrically as he buried his face in Ianto's shoulder.

Looking exactly like Bones, Ianto rolled his eyes fondly at Jack's drama queen moment. "I'm sure he will gladly hug you later in a room not full of gossipy people." Ianto comforted his husband.

Jack lifted his head up and pouted at his sexy Welshman of a husband. "Kiss?"

"You never had to ask, love." Having been with Jack for so many years, Ianto had gotten quite used to public displays of affection. He'd even been known to initiate them from time to time, which always earned him a very special smile. Plus, he liked to remind everyone that Jack was very much taken, just like Jack liked to do the same about him.

Something in Bones' expression softened as he watched Jack and Ianto share a very private moment, totally oblivious to anyone else in the room. It was something he would never ever admit to anyone, but he longed to find a love like theirs. Sure, they had their problems and fights just like any couple, but their love was so strong and pure it could overcome anything. He dared to chance a glance at Kirk standing only a few feet away and felt his heart skip a beat when Kirk gave him the smile that was for Bones and only Bones.

Out of the corners of their eyes Jack and Ianto watched the interaction with fondness. They had, of course, been shocked to learn that their grandson's lover was descended from John and Tosh, but that fact did explain Kirk's attitude of being a God-given gift to the universe. In addition to being so very much like a very young and very cocky Jack and John, it was clear that James had inherited Tosh's brains. Plus, he made Leonard happy and that was all that really mattered.


By the time the party was beginning to wind down many hours later, Bones wanted nothing more than to get out of his stuffy dress uniform and wrap himself around Jim for a good night's sleep. Of course from the look in Jim's blue eyes, the young captain had plans for another way to wear them out.

"I know that look; it's the 'I'm gonna get some' look!" Jack teased as he came to stand by his great-grandson.

"Of course you do, it's the look you get whenever you look at Ianto," Bones snarked back at Jack.

A truly goofy grin spread across Jack's face as he let his gaze fall on Ianto who was finishing up his talk with Uhura. "Yeah, I do, don't I?" he sighed with fondness. "Ianto and I are looking forward to getting to know your James. So, dinner tomorrow night with us in our quarters when your shifts are done," Jack ordered, patting Bones on the shoulder before bouncing back to Ianto's side, leaving a stunned Bones staring after him.

'I knew he would pull something like this!' Bones grumbled to himself; he knew Jim would not react well to that bit of news. He actually found himself hoping for an alien invasion so dinner would have to be cancelled.


"Wait, I have to meet your family right now?" Kirk asked as he and Bones got ready for bed; he didn't like the sound of that at all. Having them on his ship was fine and hosting a banquet in their honour had been fun, but that was all done as the Captain of the USS Enterprise. However, an intimate dinner with just the four of them and him in the starring role as Bones' boyfriend was something entirely different.

Bones rolled his eyes at the stubborn look entering his lover's eyes. "Trust me, if I could hold off this meeting I would, but when Jack Harkness-Jones puts his mind to something he usually gets his way."

Kirk blanched when he realised that there was no way out of having to through dinner with the only son of the last full-blooded Time Lord in existence. He'd heard stories of Gallifreyans' uncanny abilities to 'read' people and get them to 'open up' and 'share' their feelings and he wondered just how much of that Ianto could do. And besides, just because they were immortals and all-around legendary heroes didn't mean that he was ready to get to know them that easily.

Suddenly, his bravado fled when a new thought entered his mind. "What if they think I'm not good enough for you?" he shyly whispered, admitting one of his biggest fears. He couldn't lose Bones, he just couldn't. Without Leonard McCoy at his side, Jim knew he was only half a man, half a heart, half a soul.

"Then I'll tell them to go screw themselves; I have chosen to spend my life with you and no one, not even my grandfathers, will make me give you up." Bones pressed his lips against the blonde's in a loving kiss; this was a sweet, gentle side that only Jim got to see. "Sorry, but you're stuck with me."

All worries about tomorrow's dinner faded from both their minds as they lost themselves in a passionate expression of the love between them.
