Chapter 49
A/N: OMG Over 50,000 read count, I never thought so many would read it, wow. We meet some new friends in this chapter, I am trying to use as many references as I can to the other star trek series' as well as the original series and my own ideas.
Jim is the first to wake up which is surprising as normally Spock is awake at the crack of dawn (or equivalent whilst on the ship), it is very early; his alarm for his shift wont go off for another half an hour, he smiles at Spock who is lying on his side facing Jim. Jim decides to give Spock a treat for putting up with him and his moods so he slides quietly under the covers and makes his way down to Spock's waist, he smiled again when he saw that Spock was already half-hard and set about making sure that he was at full mast using his tongue and some well placed suction.
Spock was actually awake when Jim had thought he was asleep, he had 'heard' through the bond what Jim had planned and decided to let Jim believe that his actions would wake him up, after all Spock was enjoying what Jim was doing. Jim's mouth felt much hotter against Spock's skin then his hands and it brought up Spock's arousal, Spock managed to only last a minute of feigned sleep before his hands moved of their own accord to the back of Jim's head and not so subtly pulled Jim closer.
Jim smirked (well as much as he could with his mouth filled with Spock's manhood) and proceeded to drive his husband wild using all the talents he had learned from his relationship with Spock and brought about Spock's quick and violent climax. Swallowing every drop of Spock's essence Jim made his way back up the bed, kissing every inch of Spock as he went. Spock pulls Jim into his arms and holds him close to his chest.
"Good morning."
Spock smirks and presses a kiss to the top of Jim's head.
"It is indeed Ashayam."
"You are so smug."
"Jim have you learnt nothing? Vulcan's do not feel smug."
Jim bursts out laughing and pulls away slightly, Spock feels the coldness immediately, he doesn't like Jim being away from him, especially while he is pregnant. If they were on pre-reform Vulcan Jim would never be able to leave Spock's sight let alone their bed chambers.
"You do realise that I know that that statement is bullshit right?"
Spock's lips quirk up ever so slightly.
"Indeed."
Jim lies back down on Spock's chest, he sighs theatrically.
"What is wrong ashayam?"
"We have to finish our conversation from last night."
The two love-birds spend the rest of the time before the alarm goes off discussing their plans now that Jim has custody of his sister, they decide that he and Spock will move into the captains quarters and they will turn Spock's quarters into the bedrooms needed for both Jessica and the baby. They also decide that when they go planet side Jim will inquire about having teaching staff come aboard along with childcare experts to take care of the children when the parents/guardians are unable to change shift or if there is an emergency. Jim is not the only pregnant crew member on board (there are currently three others and not all of them are human) and so they will have to employ a whole team to work with the children and they will also need some paediatric doctors to work alongside McCoy and the medical team they have already.
They will also have to assign one of the conference rooms as a school room and bring aboard all the necessary school materials. At the moment there are only two students (Jessica and Joanna) but once word reaches other ships that children are allowed on the Enterprise they will be inundated with request transfers from parents who want to raise their children in space.
Not long after they have finished their conversation Jim's alarm goes off and they set about getting ready for the day ahead, they share a quick shower which for some strange reason turns into a mutual masturbation session before getting dressed and leave their quarters to meet up with Aurelan, Peter and Jessica to have breakfast together. They arrive earlier than they expected and snag a table in a corner and get their breakfast. A few minutes pass before the door to the mess hall open and their dining guests arrive. During the meal Jim and Aurelan explain about what is going to happen to Jessica, she takes it well especially when it means that she will be able to stay on the ship with Joanna and Jim.
Following the meal Jim and Spock head up to the bridge for the necessary change over of command to star fleet space station 1 as they had arrived at Earth during the night whilst the Alpha shift were asleep.
Before beaming down to Earth Jim and Spock make sure that McCoy will look after Jessica whilst they go to the briefing with Pike. The briefing goes well for them and Pike tells them that he has arranged for the two of them to stay on Earth for the next two few months if they want it but Jim emphatically states that he wants to stay on the ship, Pike shakes his head but agrees on the condition that they take an expert on board, he doesn't tell them who it is but he tells them that he has arranged an appointment at Star-fleet medical. Jim agrees and asks Pike about how he would go about getting non-star fleet personnel on the ship, Pike smiles at how well thought out their plan is when he asks about it.
When they leave the headquarters and head over to star-fleet medical centre they are joined by Sarek and Amanda who had already been already been informed by Pike (Pike and Sarek were starting a bromance as Sarek understood now the value of friendships which Amanda had smiled at and encouraged). As they walk to the main reception centre at the medical centre where they are joined by T'Pau who actually smiles for the first time in her adult life when she sees that Amanda is truly alive (Sarek had informed her before they arrived at Earth but illogically T'Pau felt that it was some sort of mistake but seeing the way Sarek and Spock were reacting to her she knew that it was real, Amanda was alive).
"Amanda, Ko-fu I am gratified to see you alive."
"As am I Ko-mekh. It is gratifying to see you again as well."
T'Pau tells them that she has finally accepted a place on the federation council as she'll be of more use to Vulcan (especially as the rest of the council are shit scared of her) which means that Sarek will have to take her seat on the Vulcan council and make sure that they do not become insular and xenophobic like they did after the destruction of the Kelvin.
"I will Ko-mekh, I will also make sure to have a defence field built around the planet, there is no logic in being defenceless, especially not now while our numbers are so few."
"Indeed, I will ensure that you will get any help you need from the federation council, you will not be the lone voice."
Sarek nods his head.
"Thanks are illogical but I wish to convey them to you ko-mekh."
"Indeed but they are accepted, come we are being called into see the healer."
They are called into the doctors office where Spock is shocked to see that the expert they have been sent to see is none other than Dr Phlox the Deltan who worked with the VSA to create him. Phlox smiles when he sees his guests, Jim doesn't understand why this guy is lauded until Spock explains who he is and how he was the first doctor to know everything about Vulcan biology including Pon-Farr. Jim is worried although he knows that Dr Phlox is a good man judging by the way Amanda is smiling at him but he still doesn't like or trust doctors and probably never will, sensing his nervousness Spock sends a wave of love and affection through their bond.
"Let's see what is happening with you baby shall we?"
Jim nods not trusting his voice. Phlox asks Jim to remove his shirt before asking Spock for permission to touch his mate, Spock holds Jim's hand and nods his consent. Jim takes off his shirt with Spock's help. The examination doesn't take long fortunately for both Jim and Spock's nerves.
"Well your little girl is doing well but she will probably becoming sooner than you think, I estimate her arrival in about ten weeks, this is such happy news."
"Why so early? She's only one quarter Vulcan."
"Ah but the average Vulcan pregnancy is only twenty-four weeks, I hypothesise that it is due to their previous warrior lifestyle as a defence mechanism."
Jim nods, thinking about they will have to move up their timetable on getting their quarters changed and having the baby furniture that they need delivered or made.
"I also believe that you should cut your hours to four a day, I have spoken to doctor McCoy and he has told me about your excellent work ethic and so I will not try to persuade you to go on bed rest just yet."
"You would have had an intense struggle on your hands if you had tried, Jim's stubbornness is almost as legendary as he is."
Jim smiles at Spock in response to his statement.
