A Baby for Christmas

Spock, Bones, Archer, and Chekov sat taking turns reading the scan of the life growing inside Uhura. Jim sat with Dr. S and his science officer.

"He's watching you, baby. I promise you, we both know it," his therapist whispered, Kirk jusr leaned into his touch, head on his shoulder.

"He'll never know him,"

"Yes, he will know him, he'll love him and protect him just like he did when you were little," Jim looked away.

"Daddy too?"

"Yes, angel, daddy too." Archer said putting an arm around his nephew. Jim snuggle into Archer's touch, he was always safe there.

"he's string Jim, like you and pointy," Jim laughed as his beloved raised an eyebrow.

Uncle Archer's here, just relax honey bear… No one will hurt you,

Jim lay in his uncle bed, curled up with Chekov. He hurt, ached for his beloved Godfather. It was a pain no one would ever know because they weren't him.

"Want me to tickle your belly," Jim nodded, he hated being such a child in front of anyone, but Archer was his world.

"Relax, baby bear, uncle Archer loves you," the Starfleet captain whispered, he stared deep into the cerulean eyes, so beautiful.

"He's here, right uncle Archer?" his nephew said in a small voice. His uncle kissed him on the forehead.

"Yes, baby he is, and he will always watch over you," Jim let his eyes close, holding onto Chekov like a stuffed toy. Archer slide into bed next his nephew, no one was going to hurt his little one, he'd kill them if they did.
