I searched from the wall consoles to locate my brother. The only hope I have is that he won't decline my offer especially if it's to try my hand at cooking like our mother used to do. Of course I'd have to ask for the kitchen. Hopefully no one would want to have a hand at their own home cooking. With a click of my tongue, I closed the console back into the wall. I found him to be in his quarters. My feet took its path to my older brother's quarters.

My mind thought of ways to go about it. If he is going towards his time of Pon Farr then I must tread carefully. I can hold my own as much as I can if I need to wrestle my brother but he did always win. I took in a deep breath now I am in front of his door. I pressed his door pad indicating someone is here.

No answer.

Swoosh.

I blinked at the sight of Nyota Uhura. I felt my cheeks start to burn green at the thought of ruining a moment between the two, "O-oh. I'm sorry. I shall-."

Behind her I see Spock on the ground without his shirt. It's not a normal position. I licked my lips, "What...What happened here?"

A groan came from Spock. Uhura breathed out, "T'Saraphina. He... I..."

I pushed past her to lean down by Spock. I took in his appearance. Sweat against his skin. I glanced around his quarters seeing his Vulcan lute in pieces. Other items around his quarters were broken and punched into. I breathed out, "Did he hurt you?"

Uhura rubbed her arm. I now noticed a hypo in her hand. Spock must've given it to her just in case something like this appears. Uhura shook her head finally answering, "No he did not. He yelled at me and called me human in a degrading way."

I frowned. It's starting. His Vulcan instincts are taking over. The Enterprise might have to make a pit stop at New Vulcan instead of the planet we currently orbiting. I stood up from my leaned over spot to go to the wall communicator.

"T'Saraphina to Captain."

"How can I help you?"

I raised an angled brow. I breathed out, "Please meet me at medbay. I'll inform the good doctor I'll be on my way."

Before the captain could question on why I was going to medbay, I comm-ed medical bay, "T-Saraphina to Dr. McCoy."

"McCoy here."

"I'll be bringing a patient in. He is sedated at this current moment."

The doctor's question was standard, "Who's the patient?"

Uhura intervened, "It's Spock."

"Okay, I'll get the bed ready."

I added, "Make sure the restraints are in great condition."

I closed the communication channel turning to Uhura. I headed towards my brother picking the male Vulcan up by wrapping his arm around my shoulders. Uhura immediately came to the other side to lift up his other half of his weight.

As we were dragging my brother's feet to medbay Uhura piped up, "Do you know what's wrong with him? You don't seem surprised or bothered at his behavior."

I ignored her question and asked one of my own, "How have he been treating you recently?"

Uhura adjusted his weight as we traveled through the corridor. She answered, "He... He has been short with me and irritated."

I pressed the button to open medbay doors. Dr. McCoy rushed over, "How did he get sedated?"

I beat Uhura in answering, "By the situation, my logical thought would be he gave Uhura the sedative in case something like this happens. Luckily it only happens every 7 years."

Dr. McCoy raised an eyebrow. The captain came through the medbay doors. He nearly relaxed his shoulders but not fully as it was still a member of his crew in the medbay. Jim asked, "What happened?"

Uhura and I placed my brother on the bed. I crossed my arms, "Sorry Uhura for not answering you earlier. I felt it was better till everyone is in one room. Instead of repeating oneself."

I pointed to Spock's ankles, "Doctor, I do say we shall restrain him before he wakes up."

Jim raised an eyebrow. The doctor started to put his ankles in the appropriate spots to be restrained. I undid my arms to rub my forehead, "Well there is no doubt he is experiencing it. Vulcans aren't violent. Which reminds me captain, he would need his quarters fixed."

Uhura glanced down at her boyfriend. I continued, "There is a condition Vulcans endure in their adult life. It happens every 7 years. Vulcans tend to get hostile. Their emotions rise from the depths inside themselves."

I glanced at the captain briefly before turning to the doctor, "Once a male enters it they would have to go to their bonded and perform an ancient mating ritual to relieve the imbalance. If not one would die."

Turning back to the captain, "I highly suggest for the life of your first officer to reroute to New Vulcan."

The doctor asked, "What is this 'condition' called?"

I cleared my throat, "It's called Pon Farr. Vulcans do not talk about this. It's a particular personal situation."

Dr. McCoy raised an eyebrow, "How come you are comfortable talking about this?"

I took in a deep breath, "I actually am not. For the sake of my older brother, I have to explain it so the route would be in motion before he wakes."

Jim went over to the wall communicator and reached out to Sulu and Chekov, "Reroute to New Vulcan."

Speaking of the devil, Spock started to flutter his eyes open. His eyes landed on Uhura. She reached over and gave his arm a squeeze. Jim piped up, "We are heading to New Vulcan, Spock."

Spock looked at his captain confused, "But the planet we are currently orbiting..."

Before the captain could say anything, I spoke up crossing my arms, "We are going to New Vulcan for your health. They know. I asked for you to be restrained till we know you won't become destructive again."

Uhura quickly glanced towards me. Jim asked Spock, "You doing okay now?"

Spock turned to our captain, "I shall be. There is no need for the restraints, doctor."

Doctor McCoy released Spock's ankles. Jim piped up, "Well we need to contact the council to let them know we are on our way."

It didn't take long to reach New Vulcan. Spock stood outside of the shuttle with his hands clasped behind him. He looked over at his sister who had a P.A.D.D. in her hands. Spock asked, "Are you sure you do not want to head down to the surface?"

I licked my lips as I swiped through the diagnostics of the shuttle the landing crew would be taking, "Yes, I'm sure. If I were to see T'Pring I cannot say I'll behave myself."

Before the rest of the landing party arrived at the shuttle bay, I added in, "Also I don't want to be there when Uhura finds out you are 'betrothed'. She cares for you. Loves you even, I can see it."

Spock's voice was quiet, "I know."

The captain's voice reached to the two of us, "Ah, ready to head down, you two?"

Spock turned to our captain answering for the both of us, "I am, captain. However T'Saraphina will be staying."

I could feel Jim's eyes turn to me. A questioning look, no doubt. I looked up from the P.A.D.D. The rest of the landing party joined in the shuttle bay. I looked and saw Uhura speaking with Dr. Marcus. I cleared my throat, "Captain, a word?"

Jim looked over at Spock who knew exactly what I'd tell him as my reasoning nodded as if to give the go ahead. I placed my P.A.D.D. underneath my arm and walked a few ways to the corner of the bay. Jim followed my person. He crossed his arms waiting. I explained, "Spock, like every Vulcan, is betrothed to another. Currently Spock is dating Uhura. I do not want to see the wrath be brought upon anyone by Uhura. She loves him and I don't want her anger towards Spock nor me for knowing such thing. I only mentioned he was bonded. Not betrothed."

Jim pointed out, "You already mentioned he had to have intercourse with another."

I thought back in the medical bay. I took in a deep breath, "That I did. I'm surprised she did not let her emotions erupt. I tried getting Spock to absolved her from any obligation to him. That I know of he has not. I do not think he would tell me if he did. This is a personal matter, anyways."

Jim's brows went up then he smirked, "A personal matter, indeed."

I raised my angled brows, "Are you thinking of the time we had intercourse just once?"

Jim's smirked widened. I felt my ears and cheeks burn green. Jim glanced at the landing party who were partially boarding the shuttle. He turned back towards me and brought me out of view by a beam. His lips touched mine and my back against the beam. His finger curled around my chin and his thumb gently against my jawline and cheek. I nearly relaxed till I heard my brother's voice calling out the captain. The captain pulled away then leaned down kissing my forehead, "Are you sure you're staying aboard?"

I nodded, "I'm sure. This is Spock's first Pon Farr. It's not particularly a family event. I'm sure if anything happens, my father can handle him."

He nodded touching my two fingers then letting them slide away. He went into view of his first officer, "Coming."

Luckily, I hope, no one saw the two of us hide behind the beam for a small kiss. I watched the captain and my brother climb up the plank of the shuttle. I hugged the P.A.D.D. to my chest taking a deep breath.

Spock glanced at the door separating the cock pit and the passenger area. He raised an eyebrow when he thought over what he saw. At first his sister and captain were in view then they weren't. He couldn't help but feel an immense sense of protectiveness over his sister. It would be very likely he would be hostile to his own captain, best friend, if he were to question him and not like the answer. He would have to remind himself once the Pon Farr is over with to question what he has seen to either of them. Spock took a deep breath. He would have to explain to his father why his only daughter wouldn't come down to the surface. He may tweak the truth. Not lying but not tell the whole truth.
