Spock entered the medical bay once Alpha Shift was over to obtain his daughter. Dr. McCoy had recently been willing to supervise her in the medical by when Kirk, Spock, and Uhura had the same shift. Now that Skylar was getting older, four years old now, she reminded McCoy of his own daughter and he was glad to spend time with her. However, despite the significant increase in the work Spock could get done, he found a particular excitement at the end of the day to see Skylar.

Spock stopped when he heard voices. "The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow Gave the luster of mid-day to objects below." McCoy drawled in his southern voice quietly. "When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer." the sound of a page turning, Spock stepped quietly around the corner to see his dark-haired daughter sitting between McCoy's legs on a Bio-bed. The sick bay was otherwise empty, and was no doubt the cause for the candid moment. Her pink tutu was stark against the black fabric of the Doctor's pants as the book was held before them.

"Uncle Bones! Daddy taught me the names of the reindeer, wanna know?!" She said, twisting to face him excitedly.

"Of course, Miss Sky." He smiled at her as she turned all the way around.

"Dasher and Prancer and Dancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid, Donder and Blitzen." She said, smiling.

"Good job, Sky!" Bones said,

"AND DONGT FORGET RUDOLPH!" She screamed at Bones, causing him to jump.

"Of course not, with his red nose, right?"

"Right!" She said, turning around again and plopping down, "Keep going!" She demanded.

"With a little old driver, so lively and quick, I knew in a moment it must be St Nick. More rapid than eagles his coursers they came, And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!" Spock said, stepping closer, causing the girl to turn so fast she might have gotten whiplash.

"Daddy!" She squealed, running over to the vulcan.

"You should go to bed or Santa will not visit tonight." Spock explained to her as he picked her up. "Thank you, Leonard." Spock acknowledged, with a hint of expression at the doctor.
