So Like Spock
Chapter Thirty-five
The evening progressed and the conversations were rewarding and held promise of continuing association. Finally Spock spoke to 'D',
"You have a full day tomorrow, I must return you to your home so that you may proceed with ultimate efficiency in your assignment tomorrow."
Nyota and 'D' embraced and promised to keep in touch with one another. Sonan and Spock agreed on a day and time that Spock could be given a tour of Sonan's laboratory. Sonan and Nyota stood at their front door and observed Spock guide 'D' to the passenger side of the vehicle and assist her to enter, he then took the pilot's seat and within minutes they were on their way.
Spock reached for 'D's hand and brought it to his lips,
"You have had a rewarding evening?"
"Very much so. I do not believe I have ever met a happier couple. Their life together is so centered and full of purpose."
"You and I are fully capable of mirroring that experience."
"Spock, I believe you are correct in that reasoning."
He then squeezed her hand and watched as her breath hitched as he transmitted to her just a small degree of the passion that he held for her. Part of his sent message was,
'Although I am fully capable of complete and total control of my response to you, my request is that you do not make me wait long to fulfill my need for your mind and body.'
'D' nodded in understanding.
He brought her to her residence's door and lifted her chin so she could look directly into her eyes,
"I will now bid you a good night."
With that he brought her lips to his and crushed her body to his. When she released her there were tears in her eyes…
"Good night Spock."
His response, typically Vulcan was,
"May your rest be productive."
'D' watched as he returned to his vehicle and sped off. She touched her lips and discovered they were indeed swollen, a clear indication of his passion and need.

The next day after she had settled into her office 'D' heard footsteps in the hallway. This was unusual because everyone working or living at The Embassy wore soft slippers. She tilted her head trying to determine the source of this sound that was so rare. When Spock made his appearance at her door he was not dressed in his Vulcan robes, nor were his feet shod with the usual soft slippers. Instead he was dressed in his Star Fleet uniform, including his regulation boots. His commander stripes were displayed on both arms.
He nodded as he entered,
"I am in hopes that your rest was productive and if you find it necessary I will apologize for my farewell last night."
Smiling at him she simply said,
"I have no complaints."
"I am sincerely pleased to hear that."
He stood by the side of her desk and took her hands in his and kissed her palms. Explaining his appearance he said,
"I will be visiting Star Fleet Academy this morning to spend time with Sonan at his place of employment. I would desire you and I to share Last Meal this evening if that is agreeable to you."
"Is this our second date?"
"Of course, for I wish to reach the fifth one as quickly as possible."
She smiled and said,
"OK, pick me up."
"Am I to interpret that as a literal request?"
"No, my literal reasoning Vulcan. Meet me here."
"I was in anticipation of the literal interpretation."
Dismissing him 'D' simply said,
"See you later Spock."

While he walked to the garage to pick up a vehicle Spock recalled his hours of medication the previous night. He had to organize his thoughts, set his priorities, control his emotions and attempt to silence the side effects of his thought of 'D'. He was relieved that he had the opportunity to introduce 'D' to Nyota. He also found that there appeared to be a basis for a bond to develop between himself and Sonan. He realized that somewhere in their ancestral records there was a family relationship but certainly not in any way close enough to prevent the joining of their progeny.
He planned to advise Sonan that he had no intention of advising 'D' of his previous relationship with Nyota and he hoped that that decision would be honored by him also. What Spock hoped was that Nyota would be able to advise 'D' of what could best described as what Terrans call the ABC's of something, in this case it was being the bondmate of a male Vulcan. Nyota could certainly do much to allay 'D''s concerns.
As he parked the vehicle in his assigned space which had never been reassigned because of his continued posting with Star Fleet, a sense of belonging came over him and it was with purposeful strides that he directed his steps toward Sonan's laboratory. This would be the first step in his relocation and acceptance of his new life. Although Vulcans do not get 'excited' he did have a feeling of anticipation that was almost overwhelming. Indeed he determined the only other things besides acquiring employment that would complete the future he desired would be his joining with 'D' and his acquiring a place for them to live. He had no desire to bring her to his apartment at the Embassy. Although she had worked among Vulcans and knew their temperament, he could not imagine they would have the freedom of expression he was so intent on enjoying if they were living under the Embassy's roof.

Walking down the hall way he noticed that these halls were virtually silent and he reasoned that most of those working in this area must be Vulcan. In actuality, there was very little need for verbal communication for these workers. Silence was treasured as the means to continue on a specific mind-set and meet challenges successfully.
Reaching what appeared to be the main office Spock entered to be greeted by a young Vulcan male who bowed his head in recognition and inquired,
"How may I be of service Osu Spock?"
"I am present to speak to Pudor-tor (Highly Honored) Sonan."
Perhaps on some level all the workers might have a bond, for without any audible communication, within seconds Sonan came to the door and gave the Vulcan salute and offered the acceptable greeting which Spock returned.
Gesturing for Spock to follow Sonan led him down the hall way to a private laboratory and they entered and Spock had to suppress any sign of surprise for there seated on two chairs were his sons, S'nel and S'gai. Standing, their greeting was,
"Father, Live Long and Prosper".
Sonan stood back and allowed Spock and his sons to interact and then stated,
"Nyota was the one who suggested this reunion. She determined that her almost son-in-laws should have the opportunity to meet 'D'. In addition, she has planned a trip for all of us to Nairobi to have what she calls a 'Family Union'. The twins looked at one another with what could only be described as Vulcan excitement in their eyes. It appeared that Nyota had worked things out to the satisfaction of every one.
