Disclaimers: Star Trek belongs to Gene Rodenberry and the corporations. I am just playing with his universe for a while with no intention of gaining profit other then my own amusement.

Sarek and Amanda will appear latter on in the work as will Spock.

Disruption of Routine

Part 25 Mestral's covenant

Sarek left Amanda to brood. He knew sometimes she just had to be angry for a while. He did not like the situation but he could do nothing to change it. He was the right and his son was wrong. In time Spock would understand and return home and take up his duties. Sarek decided a walk to the market might be in order. While Amanda needed to brood he did not wish her mood to remain foul. He had seen a small shop that sold rare roses. Perhaps he should stop and see if there were any specimens worth of her garden. He knew that roses were often the bridge between them. Early in their marriage he had created a rose garden for his wife. It was his way of showing her that she could thrive in the harsher climates of Vulcans like the roses. Amanda was a strong woman and she sometimes needed to be to deal with him. Sarek knew himself well. He was stubborn and demanding of his family. He needed to keep them safe even from themselves. It was his duty to protect his wife and son. Then when he pushed to hard and to fast he fell back on the roses to show his beloved soul mate that their love could endure anything. It was the proof of his love he allowed himself and it would remind his wife they were one. Just like the flower he planned to buy her. It was a rare cross breed just like his son.

Vvvvvvvvvvvv

Amanda watched Sarek head out and sighed. She went to the com line and called Raj. She had to be certain Spock was safe. If Sarek refused to act in the official Vulcan Ambassadors capacity she would act unofficially as the leader of her family. Sarek would learn she would officially follow his lead in public but in private she would ensure her beloved son was safe. She was a Grayson and they were never totally unprotected here on Earth. Her ancestor Mestral's covenant would be useful once more and perhaps it was wise for her to renew the bonds for surely Spock would have need of them one day. Even if returned to Vulcan as his father wished the connections Amanda could give him would certainly make his life and career easier. Yes she would play the dutiful wife and still be the protective mother Leymath to her son.
