Chapter 21- Spock
McCoy ushered us back into the hut and Nyota was asleep.
"I brought a few hours but Jim we have to get back to the ship." McCoy said with a worried tone.
"Dr. McCoy is there something wrong?" I questioned.
"No. I just don't think that this is the best place for her to give birth. Anything can happen and on the ship I am better equipped for the unexpected." He answered.
I tilted my head in response to him. My back still burned but as he stated earlier I was healing. We knew now that Vaal was a powerful computer that the villagers had to feed. It's protected by a strong force field. We knew that it was pulling the Enterprise down and draining its power.
I sat at the table with the others in a debate over what to do about the villagers.
"They can not continue like this. Never aging, reproducing or gaining anything just simply existing." McCoy said and I rolled my eyes.
"Dr. McCoy it may not be a perfect society but it works for them." I answered.
"Spock they're in stalemate with their development. They should be able to live and grow just like any other humanoid race." Jim interceded.
"Jim according to the prime directive we can not interfere with the natural order of their evolution." I argued.
"But Spock that is the problem they are not evolving." McCoy countered.
"Captain the one called Sayana says that men and women touching is forbidden. If we do get out of here and destroy the computer how will they know how to reproduce?" Patricia questioned.
"Well Dr. McCoy?" Jim questioned McCoy with a smile.
McCoy looked at me and smiled.
"I think that is a great question for Spock he is the senior science officer." McCoy countered.
I stared at him with my eyebrow arched and eyes opened wide.
"Spock is that shock on your face?" Jim laughed.
"No Captain." I answered. "I just wondered why Dr. McCoy thinks it a question for me since he is the chief medical officer. Therefore making him the head biologist here." I argued.
"I am chief medical officer but you Mr. Spock are the only father of four here." McCoy countered.
I took McCoy's silent challenge.
"Well Yeoman one would hope the villagers are supplied with the proper knowledge to help guide them. Perhaps the Enterprise could give them some reading material since we seem set on ruining their way of life." I said with annoyance in my voice.
"Is there something they can read in the Vulcan manuals so that maybe they can be as productive as you and Uhura?" McCoy questioned.
"Dr. McCoy do I detect that human emotion known as jealousy?" I questioned.
McCoy was silent for a few minuets. We needed to get Nyota back onto the ship. I saw her stir so I sat by her side. I did calculations as Nyota and everyone else except Jim. I had the answer.
I left Nyota and talked to Jim.
"Captain if we can stop them from feeding Vaal we should be able to penetrate the force field." I said in my normal tone.
"Spock explain."
"Vaal is releasing tremendous energy by keeping up its force field, pulling the Enterprise down and attacking us. If we can manage to starve Vaal then it will have less energy. We could have Mr. Scott shoot a high intensity beam at one spot on Vaal's body a minute should be enough." I answered.
"And your calculations are correct?" Jim questioned.
"Of course Captain." I answered.
"Yes of course Spock." Jim countered.
My plan was put into place. When she woke Nyota was in a searing pain.
"Spock I can't hold off the delivery any longer those boys are as stubborn as you." Dr. McCoy stated and my mouth twitched into a small smile.
Fatherhood is visiting me again and it is no less exciting than it was when she gave birth to Grayson and Amanda. I have not yet told her the names I have chosen for them.
"Spock I hate you!" she yelled. "I'm serious this time I'm never having sex with you again!" she seethed. She cried out in pain again.
"How long doctor?" I questioned.
"Thirty minutes at the most." He answered.
Nyota screamed again as her body was racked by another contraction.
"I hate you! You over grown elf with super sperm! Get out!" she yelled again."
Everyone started at me. Jim walked out laughing. I walked out behind Jim and we ran to the area where Vaal was. Chekov and the others would hold the villagers at bay not allowing them to come and feed Vaal.
We waited for twenty minutes for Vaal to be weakened enough by hunger. My communicator was beeping.
"Spock and Jim you need to hurry this along her water broke." Dr. McCoy said rushed.
I could hear her in the background screaming. She was screaming more with this birthing than she did with the first.
"Understood doctor." I replied in my normal tone.
"Scotty fire now!" Jim ordered into his communicator.
I watched patiently as the beam from the ship hit one spot on the massive computer. Finally the lights that had been eyes for the computer went out. Jim watched me and smiled.
"Go Spock. Let's bring my new godsons into the universe." He said with a smile.
When I reached the hut Dr. McCoy was telling her to push. I ran to her and held her hand.
"Is it ok to beam up now?" McCoy questioned.
"Yes the computer has been damaged." I answered.
"We'll have to beam right up. I'll have a medical team on stand by." He continued.
"Oh god Spock I hate you so much right now." She screamed.
I raised my eyebrows in response.
"Dr. McCoy you lying bastard you said it would be easier this time because I've done this before. You liar it hurts worse!" she continued to scream.
A large smile struck my face when McCoy looked at me. Now that he was on the receiving end of her barrage of insults he didn't think they were funny.
She pushed once more and I could hear the scream of our first of the twins. I cut the cord something that will never stop giving me a warm feeling. I held my son as McCoy worked on getting the other out. Two minuets later my second son was screaming as well. I cut his cord and we beamed back to the ship.
After Nyota was settled in sickbay and the twins checked I brought Amanda and Grayson to meet their new little brothers.
"Mommy daddy what are their names?" Grayson questioned.
Nyota holding one son and i the other. She smiled at me waiting to hear the names herself.
"Your mother is holding Soren and I am holding Skylar." I answered.
"Soren and Skylar. Spock those are human names I thought we were going Vulcan this time." Nyota said with confusion.
"I like them daddy." Amanda said with her beautiful smile.
"Ok so where are the newest crew members on the Enterprise?" Jim laughed as he came in with Kelly and Diane.
"Kelly picked up Grayson and Jim picked up Amanda and she hugged him tightly.
"Right there Uncle Jim." Amanda answered cheerfully.
"Oh wow. Uhura and Spock they look Vulcan." Diane said in amazement.
"Yeah." Nyota replied weakly.
"You know you two are going to be spending a lot of time with us while mommy, daddy and the boys get used to one another. So let's go pack some things for you to bring with you to mine and Aunt Diane's." Kelly said playfully poking Grayson in the stomach which caused him to giggle.
We shared kisses with Grayson and Amanda then we were alone in sickbay with our newest additions.
Nyota traced gentle fingertips across Soren's features. They are identical twins. Father would need to see them soon. The boys had classic Vulcan ears, eyebrows and so far their hair is straight. I had to admit to myself that they looked a lot like me more than Grayson.
"Wow Spock you really spit them out didn't you?" Nyota said softly as to not interrupt the sleeping babies in our arms.
"Well no Nyota I did not spit them out I believe that I…" I began and she put her hand up to stop me.
"It's an old earth saying. Its something we say when a child looks just like a parent." She laughed.
I nodded in understanding.
"They look very Vulcan but their blood is very red and they have human internal organization." I added.
They I looked at my son in my arms almost an exact replica of me except he and his brother are identical. They have the same cinnamon complexion that Amanda and Grayson share but Soren and Skylar have brown eyes.
I am looking forward to the next chapter in our lives.
