Visions of the Past
Jim pattered down the hallway, and to the light that was at 20% where everyone was still awake and chatting. He slipped down to the floor, and caught his breath.
"Baby, whats the matter?" DR. S whispered, bending down to Jim's height. Caroline appeared too, looking scared.
"Where is he… where's uncle Archer?" Jim whispered through tears. Archer walked over quickly and slide onto the floor with his nephew.
"Here… I'm right here, baby bear," Jim threw his arms around him. The three looked at one another, and sighed.
"Where is he, where's Kodos?"
"What? Jimmy, whats the matter? What do you mean where's…"
"Uncle Chris said he'd kill him with his bare hands if he ever touched me,"
"Yup, we all know that little one, told me twelve times…" uncle RJ said grinning. Archer took Jims face, and looked his nephew over.
"Baby, look at me… what happened to bring up Tarsus?" Archer held him tighter, gently stroking his blond hair.
"I want him back… I want Papa back…" Archer sighed and scooped him up into his strong arms, tight and safe.
"I know, I know baby, but he wouldn't want you to keep hurting like this…" Archer walked back to the bedroom and laid them both down.
"Where is he?" Jim asked through tears. Archer sighed and gently stroked his face, rocking slightly.
"He's in the stars, he's all around us, and he won't let ya down…" snuggled against Archer's chest, Jim looked up and saw the myriad amount of stars beaming in the sky back at him.
"I don't ever want to stop loving Papa," he whispered back, Archer gave him a gentr kiss on the head.
"You don't have to, baby… I told you, he's always there, he's everywhere… Whenever your in trouble he'll be there, and when the baby's born you'll have him there, and when Spock bonds with you have him be there,"
"Uncle Archer, can you sing the song?" he was half asleep by now.
"Yes, baby,"
