I do not own schtar trek in anyway!

Wow, okay, sorry about that guys! Fanfiction was acting really weird lately, and on top of that I'm packing up everything I have to go live in GA in less then 11 days. Wah! I'm so nervous! So lots going on! (here's the next chapter though!)

Read and Review

-o0o-

The term "Pregnant Pause" had never been put to better use.

Both McCoy's and Grace were looking up at Spock with raised eyebrows. Spock was just staring off into dead space. His face was completely drained of color and more emotionless than normal. Jim looked like his eyes might very well just pop out of his skull, and Scotty just smiled.

If B was surprised by the news, she didn't show it. She silently looked from her counterpart to the destroyed PADD on the floor before turning to Bones and clearing her throat "Your data is incorrect, Doctor. Your counterpart, Zoe McCoy, has prescribed contraception to me."

Bones brow furrowed in confusion and he looked up to Zoe.

"I have her on Iapisa A." Zoe added.

"Oooh," Bones sucked in a nervous breath. "I mostly prescribe Iapisa D to my male patients."

Zoe face palmed.

"What?" Jim said looking nervous, seeing as he was one of the male patients on Iapisa D.

"Iapisa A and D cancel each other out." Bones said. "The study on it was only released about a week ago."

B's anticipated reaction finally came around as reality hit her like a ton of bricks. The color from the girls face drained, she swayed slightly as if she was about to pass out or throw up again.

"Terminate it." She choked out.

"What?" Jim said an awkward, sideways smile crossed his face, he was half convinced this was a poor attempt at humor. "You can't be serious."

"What are you saying?" Grace looked to her friend concerned.

"With how few Vulcans there are left in the universe you want me to terminate the pregnancy of one?" Bones asked.

"Yes." B replied.

Bones scoffed. "Are you out of your mind? I'd lose my license! It'd be completely- for lack of a better word- illogical!"

"Do not confused logic and morality, Doctor." She spat back.

"Listen, this isn't me, personally I think a woman should have a choice in the matter. But since Vulcan was destroyed there's LAWS against this kind of thing, I'd get fired, lose my medical degree, and you'd be prosecuted! Is it really worth going to jail over?"

"Think about what you're saying." Zoe said. "You may not be ready to be a mother, but, don't you think a vulcan child deserves a chance?"

Spock finally came out of his daze, his voice soft and raspy. "It would be unwise to keep the child." He stated.

Bones looked to Spock confused, trying to put the pieces together. Why did he care whether or not his counterpart had a child? Why did he drop his PADD in surprise at the news? Why did he agree with her decision to-

"OH, GODDAMNIT, YOU GUYS ARE GROSS!" Bones called out.

Both Vulcans stared daggers at the medic.

"What?" Grace questioned.

"Eww-w-w." Zoe shook her hands and scrunched up her face, coming to the same conclusion as Bones. "You had sex with each other!?"

Scotty burst out laughing.

"Oh god, is that what was happening the day you followed her out of the bridge?" Grace said.

"She was in heat wasn't she?" Bones asked. "That's why all her vitals went down. It's that Pon farr thing, isn't it?"

"Oh, god." Jim pinched his nose. "What is happening on my ship?"

The Vulcan's did not look amused.

"This child would not have a quality of life worth living." B continued.

"Our DNA is more closely matched than that of twins. The child would be- technically- inbred. The typical 1% chance of mutation, malnutrition, slowed growth rate, and protein deficiencies is amplified to over 5.6%." Spock added.

"That's still not that big of a risk." Bones interjected. "There's still a huge possibility that you could have a happy, healthy, normal child. Just, take a few days and at least think it over."

"A few days will be too long." Spock objected.

"I think taking some time to think about this is the best option." Zoe stated.

"Vulcan pregnancies only last three months." Spock said. "In a few days she will be in Fe-keshtaik Ikap-tor."

"Prenatal Shut-down? I didn't know Vulcan's even had that." Bones said. "I'm sure there's a way aroun-"

"Excuse me." B cut Bones off and briskly walked off the transporter pad and out of the room. Grace and Bones called after her, but she didn't stop until she was in her shared room. She quickly locked herself in the bathroom before she threw up into the toilet bowl again.

They were right, and she knew it. In her universe Nera had destroyed Vulcan too. She knew the laws on termination, and she knew it wouldn't be worth it. But, with so few vulcans left in the universe, was giving them a defective one really the most logical thing to do? She wouldn't be able to raise the child. She was a Science Officer in Starfleet, and she intended to be one whether Grace and her crew ever made their way back to their original universe or not. A Starship was no place to raise a birth-defective child. Maybe she could put the child up for adoption. She was sure there were plenty of willing parents on New Vulcan, but would anyone really want an illogical vulcan child?
