-1Disclaimer: Star Trek in all its forms belongs to Gene Roddenberry and the Corporations. I do not own James Bond or that world either. There is no infringement intended, as this is just a humble fan fiction intended to amuse and entertain. No money will be made nor is any expected. Just a few reviews to make the author smile and feel it is worth writing more. This is a Soval and Amanda Cole fan fiction. Trip and T'Pol are a mated pair and will be popping in from time to time. In this fan fiction T' Pol and Soval are related and T' Pau is T' Pol's cousin. Other Enterprise crew may appear as needed. Consider this an AU with little regards to Cannon.

"May we together be more then the some of our parts."- Surak

Soval and Amanda

Part 25 (Bonding is better then Brooding) PG

Amanda laid her head against her husband's chest. She hated feeling so afraid. She knew something was wrong when he had begun to block her. Now knowing the truth was not any easier. She looked up at him.

"Michael is not hurt?"

Soval looked away. "We took care not to damage him. He may be…slightly disturbed by the events but I give you my word every care was taken."

Amanda nodded knowing full well Soval had to protect not only her and T'Pol but Earth / Vulcan relations. Sometimes he would have to use methods she might not like or approve of. It was just very hard as her brother had been on the receiving end. However Amanda knew deep down Soval would never hurt him unless there was no alternative.

"Tell me Shran did not question him?"

Soval smiled "I think it might have been easier for Michael had he been the one. But no, Shran did not touch him."

"Who? Please not you?"

"Jonathan suggested that if I did this thing you would be upset. He spared me the need."

Amanda sighed in relief. While she was not pleased that this had happened at least her beloved had not injured her brother. As much as she loved Soval she would have had a hard time with that.

"I will have to thank the Captain for sparing you that duty. He is a good man."

"Yes, I believe he is very honorable. " Soval agreed. "We must perhaps find him a mate to keep him in line."

Amanda grinned. Then thought wickedly. "Well he is of our house now. Who would you suggest?"

Soval's brow rose and he said "I will think about this. Yes it is proper we bond him."

Amanda grinned thinking it would keep her former captain out of trouble and it would ensure he was not brooding. He tended to brood over his actions at times. While Amanda was not happy with Michael being interrogated she would have done it herself had the need arose. If Michael was part of Terra Prime he deserved to be shot. If not he deserved to be shot for the cruel way he acted. He was her brother and he owed her support. She would not allow her friend to suffer for doing a needful thing. A wife would keep his mind off brooding. Besides he deserved it for keeping her in the dark. If she was the matriarch she would start acting like it and that meant non paired crew would get mates. After all she did not want to be the only human on Vulcan.

Soval brow rose and he almost pitied Archer he would be bonded within the year if Amanda's look was anything to go by.

"I was thinking about that lady Captain. Erica Hernandez? What do you think?"

"Perhaps, or maybe T'Lar." Soval said

"A Vulcan healer?" Amanda asked. "Actually that may be a good idea."

"We will meditate on it." Soval said.

"Ok." Amanda agreed. "Both would keep him from brooding." She laughed slightly good humor restored.
