Chapter 36
A/N: BONUS BONUS BONUS chapter for PintoSpirk's birthday. Happy Birthday and I hope you like this chapter. Warning: Really bad porn ahead.
Jim races onto the bridge, he barely manages to make it to his chair before the ship is rocked with another attack.
"Report!"
Spock moves to his science station meaning that Chekov can go back to navigation.
"Captain we are being attacked by three Romulan Birds of Prey, shields are at 63%, the Klingon War-bird has taken massive damage, their shields are failing."
"Chekov see if you can find a weakness in their shield and take it out."
Chekov doesn't turn around but he nods his head to show he is listening. It takes a few minutes for the boy genius to find the weakness that they need and fires a photon torpedo but one of the other ships destroys it before it can reach it's target, they attempt it a couple of times but every time the torpedoes are destroyed before they can reach the ship. Jim gets an idea from an old sci-fi TV show from the late 20th early 21st century. Jim calls down to Scotty in engineering. Scotty is obviously trying to fix more than one thing at time as well as ordering about his little minions.
"Scotty I think I've got an idea, can we beam a torpedo onto their ship with a timer through the gap in their shielding?"
Scotty pauses, delight crosses his face.
"That's genius Captain, I'll see what I can do about it."
The wait is interminable, the wait feels like it has been hours but it has only been five minutes, the ship again is hit with the enemies weapons.
"Captain shields down to 26%, the Klingon's ship has taken too much damage, they are venting atmosphere. They will not survive another attack."
/Shit, what the hell do we do?\\
/I believe we should try and beam aboard the Klingon's before their ship is destroyed.\\
Jim sends his thanks over the bond and calls up engineering again.
"Scotty I need you to beam the Klingon's on board before their ship is destroyed. And how long before we can attack?"
"Got it captain, and the calculations are done, one photon torpedo away."
They all watch with bated breath as they wait for the first ship to be destroyed, when it does blow up it takes out the other two with the force of the blast, it also destroys the Klingon ship as well. Jim instantly calls down to the transporter room.
"Are the Klingon's on board?"
"Yes captain, all of them."
"Great, try and find them somewhere they can stay for now."
Jim gives a sigh of relief as does everyone else on the bridge, they take a moment now that they are not in immediate danger of dying to just breathe before turning back to their stations. Information begins to pour onto the bridge from every department on the ship, everything from injuries and death to structural damage.
"Chekov go to yellow alert."
"Yes Captain."
"What's our shield strength commander?"
"Our shields are at 11% captain."
"Any casualties at the moment lieutenant Uhura?"
Uhura turns to look at him.
"Three crewmen reported dead sir thirty six recorded injured."
Dammit, always the worst part of the job. I've got to tell three families that their loved one isn't coming home.
"Any structural issues?"
"Engineering has received the most damage sir, everything else I am told is superficial, however there is one problem on the other side of the ship, I'm getting reports that the captains quarters have been badly damaged... hmm that appears to be incongruous with the other damage. I will send a team to check it out."
/How is it different Spock?\\
/I believe Jim that it was done deliberately by someone on board.\\
/Three guesses who? Dammit where am I going to sleep tonight?\\
/You will stay with me Ashayam.\\
/Thanks Spock.\\
Jim pulls out of their mental conversation and comes back to the real world.
"Lieutenant Uhura, please get in touch with command, tell them that we will need some support out here and warn them about the Romulan's being so far from their own territory."
"Aye Captain."
Spock walks over to Jim after handing over his station to his second in command of the science department.
"Captain, I would like to check on the ambassadors and make sure that the Klingon's have sufficient space for them to stay."
Jim knows that Spock really wants to check on his father to see if he is OK.
"Of course Spock."
Before Spock can leave Chekov cries out.
"Captain three more Romulan ships are on an intercept course."
"Sorry Spock but I need you at your station."
"Of course captain."
Jim begins to worry, there is no way that the ship can take on another three ships, not in the state the enterprise is in at the minute.
"Ensign Chekov, red alert."
"Aye sir."
Everyone gets ready to get into battle positions, they are hit by the Romulan weapons. Jim is thrown from his chair and lands on the floor (fortunately neither he nor the baby is hurt), Chekov hits his head on his console and is knocked out, Sulu sustains a head injury but stays conscious, Uhura manages to stay in her seat and Spock manages to stay upright. The others on the bridge are not so lucky, Spock's second in command of science is thrown into a wall, there is a deafening crack when his head makes contact with the wall he dies instantly, Uhura's second in command of communications is killed when his console blows up and the two security officers are both killed when they are slammed into the science station. Jim manages to get back into his seat before they are hit again.
"Captain shields down to 2%."
"Sulu see if you can get us out of here before they fire again."
Chekov interrupts before Sulu can answer.
"Captain, more ships on the way."
Jim runs his hands through his hair, he knows that there is little chance of getting out of this. Jim takes a deep breath.
"How many?"
"Six sir... wait they are not Romulan sir... they is Klingon."
The Romulan's turn their attentions from the crippled ship to the new enemies that have appeared, the Romulan's take out two of the war-birds before they are destroyed. The remaining war-birds take a defensive position around the enterprise.
"Captain we are being hailed."
"On screen lieutenant."
The view-screen changes to show the interior of the Klingon ship.
"I am Captain Koliotok of the Scream of Prey, I pray for your sake that my son is on board."
Jim swallows and stands up.
"I am Captain James T. kirk of the USS Enterprise. If you give me your sons name I can have him brought to the bridge for you."
"My son is High Councillor Gorkon. Is he on board?"
"I will find out for you Captain."
Jim flicks his eyes to Spock who is bent over his screen, talking to someone on another part of the ship.
/Do not worry Ashayam, he is alive and on his way up to the bridge.\\
/Thank you\\
Spock nods his head. Jim looks back at Koliotok. The older captain stares at the younger one, sizing him up.
"Your son is on his way, he will be here momentarily."
Jim waits anxiously for Gorkon to arrive, it isn't to long before he arrives. Gorkon goes to the view-screen, he nods at his father.
"Drop your shields Captain Kirk and we will take the Klingon's from your ship, we will wait for your ship to be fixed enough that you will be able to continue onto Kronos and then we will be your honour guard."
Jim nods at Spock and the shields are dropped, a minute later and Gorkon is beamed off the ship along with all the other Klingon's. The view-screen goes blank, Jim feels a bit of relief, he still worries that the Klingon's will go back on their word but at the moment it seems that they are keeping it. Jim orders everyone to either sickbay or their quarters, Jim asks for their replacements to come and take over. Spock calls up a medical team to take the dead to the morgue. Sulu and Uhura carry Chekov to sickbay, leaving Jim and Spock alone on the bridge, Spock waits until the crew have left the room before approaching Jim. Spock brushes his fingers against Jim's psi points in a comforting gesture for both of them. It reassures Spock that both Jim and their baby is fine. Jim yawns, Spock allows a hint of a smile to touch his face, he is relieved that Jim will be al-right and their ship will be too.
"Jim you should get some rest too, I will call you if you are needed. I do not wish for you to leave my sight but you must rest, I will stay here and keep an eye on your ship."
"I'm fine Spock. I don't mind staying honestly."
Spock looks at Jim carefully, he can see the strain of fear and loneliness on his face.
"Jim, what caused you to have to beg for my help? Who tried to hurt you?"
"It doesn't matter Spock."
Spock looks at Jim disbelievingly.
"Do not lie Ashayam, tell me what scared you so bad on your own ship?"
"Frank, Winona and George cornered me in the little observation deck on deck 6, they were gonna batter me, your father stopped them. It doesn't make any sense why did they think that they could get away with beating me up on my own ship?"
Spock gets murderous, Jim can feel it through the bond.
"Don't get angry please Spock. I know what they did was wrong but your father took care of it, you should have seen him, he was awesome, I have never seen two men so scared before, it looked like they were gonna piss themselves. But like I said what made them think that they could get away with it?"
Spock calms himself slightly, he still wants to rip them into little pieces but he wont do it right at this minute, he forces his mind to go over the logical reasons that they would have.
"As an ambassador Winona kirk would have access to all files about this ship, she would have found out about my Pon-Farr."
Spock blushes at the mention of the Vulcan cycle.
"She would have also found out that because my father is an ambassador as well I was immune from prosecution. I believe that they thought they would be too."
"Is it true would they have been able to get away with it if they had not been stopped?"
"Negative, I was afforded more protection because I am a Vulcan and because of the mitigating factors, the admiralty does not know of Pon-Farr but their superiors do. After the Day, Vulcan had to be more willing to give information to the federation that they had in the past, this information was only released the day before I went into Pon-Farr. It will be from now on included with all medical training because more and more Vulcan's have applied to star-fleet."
"That's a good idea."
"Indeed, you have however unsuccessfully distracted from the actions of your family , I will call up my father and he will walk with you to my quarters where you will stay until the end of my shift. You should rest Ashayam."
"You promise not to go after them?"
Spock inclines his head in what could be considered acquiescence but he doesn't actually answer the question.
"Spock?"
Spock realises that Jim would see through it.
"I promise that I will not go after them however I will not promise if they come after you again. I will do everything possible to protect you Jim, I will not allow you to be harmed."
Jim nods, it's the best offer he will get from Spock at this moment so Jim accepts it. Spock call his father up to the bridge, who arrives not long after (it goes against regulations but Spock is not willing to allow Jim's family to get near to him again), Jim follows Sarek off the bridge and back to Spock's quarters, Jim hasn't been in Spock's quarters since the Pon-Farr, being in there brings back all the things he had gone through at the time. Jim has to remind himself that he has forgiven Spock for what happened, he calms himself down when he feels Spock's concern come through their bond. It happened in the past, he does not have to dwell on it any more, Spock would never hurt him again. Jim goes into the bed area of Spock's quarters, he lies down on the bed hoping to sleep for about an hour or two until Spock comes off shift. Jim instantly falls asleep as soon as his head touches the pillow.
When Jim wakes it is to the feel of someone running their hand through his hair, Jim opens his eyes to see Spock sat on the bed next to him. Spock allows a smile to touch his face, Jim really is adorable when he is only half awake.
"How long was I asleep?"
"Approximately 4.6 hours."
Jim sits bolt up, instantly becoming more awake.
"I cant believe I slept that long, is the ship alright?"
Spock pulls Jim into his arms and lies down on the bed, he puts Jim's head on his shoulder and covers them with the blanket.
"It is fine Jim, the repairs are going well and the Klingon's have kept their word. I have just come from sickbay."
Jim lifts his head to look at Spock properly.
"Were you injured?"
"Negative Ashayam. I was checking on our crew."
Jim looks stricken.
"Oh god the crew, I am such a crap captain."
Spock growls softly, he strokes Jim's cheek.
"Do not speak of yourself that way, you are a great captain. We lost thirteen crewmen in total, Sulu received a gash to the forehead, it was fixed relatively quickly, and Chekov has a concussion he has been taken of rotas for a week, as all of our regenerators are being used on more serious injuries. We will need to stop at a star-base to stock up on medical supplies on the way back."
Jim sits up
"OK, I'll get started on those letters to their relatives."
"Jim you do not have to do those now, you have had a stressful few days. Dr McCoy wants you to stay off duty for the next few days."
"Spock I cant do that, we are on an important mission, I cant be off duty when there is a chance that everything could go to hell."
"Calm yourself Jim, I have already told McCoy this, he says that you are going through too much stress, you could hurt our child."
Jim puts his head in his hands.
"What do I do Spock?"
"Lie back down T'hy'la. You will still come on shift with me but if we run into more trouble you will make your way to sickbay, I am not sure that it is the best solution but it will mean that you can still be in charge and safe at the same time. I do not wish to lose you or our child."
Jim lies back down in Spock's arms.
"I feel like I cant do anything right."
"Jim that is just the hormones talking, you can do a great many things right. Do you wish to prove it to me?"
Spock flips them so that Jim is on his back with Spock on top, Jim feels adrenaline and arousal shoot through him.
"What did you have in mind commander?"
Spock brushes his lips against Jim's, he is pleased when Jim deepens it. He removes Jim's shirt with some difficulty as he does not want to break the kiss, finally he manages it, he takes off his at the same time so that they can go back to kissing sooner. He lowers Jim back onto the bed, continually kissing his beautiful mate. His hands start to explore Jim's chest and abdomen, he teases Jim's nipples, rubbing them until they become hard and tender, he removes his lips from Jim's and works his way down to Jim's neck. He finds that spot on Jim's neck that makes him completely pliable in Spock's hands, once found he starts to suck on it marking Jim as his. Jim begins to moan in pleasure at Spock's touch, he starts to move under Spock, undulating his hips so their groins will touch more and he wraps his arms around Spock. Spock pulls away from Jim's neck and his hands go to his mates waist to keep him still, he looks at Jim through lust filled eyes, he still cannot believe that this wonderful man is his. Jim lets his arms fall onto the bed.
After making sure that Jim wont move, Spock releases his waist and undoes Jim's trousers, Jim's scent is released into the room and it magnifies Spock's arousal. Spock pulls the rest of his and Jim's clothes off. Once undressed, Spock allows his eyes to drink in the sight of his naked mate, before turning his attentions to Jim's proud member, which is standing at attention, Spock breathes Jim's scent in deeply and then starts to lick and suck Jim's penis, making harder than it was. Once satisfied that it had had enough attention Spock moves up Jim's body to his lips, he kisses Jim deeply and lovingly, with one hand he reaches into his bedside cabinet and pulls out some oil, he uses it to cover his penis and to prepare Jim properly. When he is satisfied that Jim is ready he plunges into him and starts a punishing pace, he lifts Jim's leg over his shoulders and fucks into him harder and deeper, Jim's hands grip at the sheets. Jim at this point is babbling how much he loves Spock, and begging him to go harder. Spock reaches for Jim's penis and pumps it in time to his thrusts, finally he reaches tipping point and he throws open the bond and sends both straight into orgasm.
Boneless he lies down next to Jim and pulls his mate back into his arms, Jim cuddles up to him and nuzzles Spock's chest.
"See Jim, that was a job you could do right."
Spock smirks and Jim nips at his nipple in retaliation, which sparks another round of sex.
TBC
