"Amazing" says Jim smiling like a kid who has been allowed way too many juice boxes. "I thought the two of you were building a coffee maker or some sort of doomsday machine in order to kill me and replace me with some sort or robot but I never expected this. I mean a baby~ wow." He says excitedly running a hand through his hair. He peers through the glass at the little foetus trying to make out its features. "Hey Bones I think it has your nose and Spock ears!"
Behind him the video link crackles "Captain I believe you are mistaken, the child clearly takes after her late grandmother Amanda" says Sarek who despite currently being thousands of light years away is more than ready to argue with the Captain on matters concerning his future grandchild. His logical arguments are quickly backed up by several other Vulcans (most of whom are female and all of them discreetly trying to shove the others out of the picture so they can get a better view of the baby).
Of course hardly anyone notices this being busy playing "lets exchange our name tags while no one is looking so it appears that we got the happy couple the big expensively wrapped in blue paper present instead of a diaper bag" (or something else that seemed awesome in the store but now seems boring and practical). This game is played so successfully that by the time they open the presents everyone's name tags are back on the gift they originated from.
In one corner of the room Uhura (along with what seems to be every other female crewmember) have crowded around Spock trying to swap hours of babysitting, name suggestions and knitted goods for Godmother status. Oblivious to his partner's torment McCoy is busy explaining the importance of various valves and tubes to Scotty who for the last several weeks has been wondering where parts of his beloved ship have disappeared to.
At least he does in between in between bouts of yelling at various crewmembers for apparently disturbing the baby's rest by tapping the glass. Needless to say the party is broken up as soon as Spock can prise himself free from the gaggle of babyless females.
Note if you are a fan of my oneshots that are more Spock/Bones central you should definatly read my new story -One Vulcan Please!-
Also reviews and ideas are always welcome!
