Chapter 26- Amanda

I woke up to the melody that was mommy's voice.

"Wake up sleepy head." She called softly in my ear and kissing my cheek.

I missed the sound of mommy's voice and I was more than happy to hear it again. I saw Kelly and Diane in the living room they had on beautiful dresses that clung to their figures. I can't wait to be an adult so I can wear dresses like that. Aunt Diane was hoping that Uncle Jim would dance with her at the party afterwards. I smiled to myself I would have to make that happen.

Mommy made oatmeal for my breakfast because she said there would be a lot of food at the reception. Mommy had a robe over her dress uniform as she continued to get ready. I quickly took a shower and I saw the beautiful dress mommy had for me.

My dress was lavender with pretty flowers on it and was made from the finest Andorian silk. It was a princess dress in the style of old earth fairy tales that mommy used to read to me.

"Do you like it?" Mommy questioned from the door.

"Yes mommy." I said running over to her and wrapping my arms around her.

"Do you want me to help you get dressed princess?" She questioned.

"Yes mommy." I said happily.

Mommy helped me into my dress and I twirled around in it I felt like a real princess and mommy's face lit up.

"How do I look mommy?" I questioned smiling.

"Beautiful." She answered with a sigh. "I missed you so much diva. I'm glad to have you back." she said pulling me into a tight hug.

Mommy and I stayed in the hug for sometime then she pulled away from me.

"Come on let's do your hair." She said with a smile and I gave her the biggest smile I had in my arsenal.

I sat between her legs on the floor and she brushed my hair. Mommy straightened my hair and then put what she called Shirley temple curls in my hair. I felt beautiful. Mommy put her hair in a bun at the top of her head and had these Shirley temple curls on the side just one on each side of her head. Daddy was not going to be able to not show emotion when he looked at her. I pray I am as beautiful as my mother someday.

Mommy, Diane and Kelly were talking and laughing then mommy called me.

"Come on Princess it's time to go meet daddy and your brothers." Mommy said holding her hand out for me.

Grayson-

Amanda walked into the rec room first and then mommy followed. I looked to daddy and he could not hide the smile that graced his face. Mommy looked flawless and I knew then that my parents would be together forever. Mommy smiled as her eyes locked with daddy's. There were only ten people in the rec room with us. My parents are very private so only have ten guest present made sense for them.

Uncle Jim was saying something about ship captains having the pleasure of this duty. I couldn't hear him because I was busy watching my mom and dad. They seemed enraptured with each other as if no one else was in the room. Dad spoke first.

"My ashau." My father said looking softly into my mother's eyes. She smiled knowing what he just said in public even if it was in Vulcan. "My love" he called her. He always made sure that we knew they loved each other.

"The words I spoke the first time we married are truer today than they've ever been." He said softly and her lips curled into a smile. I read her mind to hear the words he'd spoken the first time they were married.

That memory was so bright in her mind. I smiled as I listened to the words they both said to one another that day. It was now mommy's time to speak.

"Spock. You are now and always have been my one and only love. And the words I said to you seven years ago still hold true for me as well." She said softly and tears fell from her eyes.

I heard them say I do and Uncle Jim say you may kiss the bride. My parents kissed and as always Amanda had a large grin on her face.

People crowded around us. We were a family again my parents were together and that's how it should always be. I hope to one day find a woman like my mother and I hope I can be as good a man as my father.

Mandy and I walked over to the instruments and we began to play a Vulcan classic. I on the lyre and Amanda on the piano. My parents danced slowly. My father pulled her close to him and she laid her head on his chest. Mandy looked at me when she sensed something in the room it was foul and dangerous. Her eyes fell upon Lt. Boma and Nurse Chapel. Father sensed it too as did grandfather and Mr. Prime. All of our eyes landed in the same place. Daddy pulled mommy closer to him and tightened his hold on her causing her to look up at him.

Our song was over and the computer began to play music selections mommy programmed. She loved music from earth's twentieth century she called it R&B. I had to admit that I like most of it and so did dad although he would never say it out loud to anyone but her.

"Come on guys lets get changed so that you can go and play in the play room." Mommy said holding Sky and Soren's hands.

Amanda had that grin on her face again.

"What is so funny Mandy?" I questioned.

"I got uncle Jim and aunt Diane to dance. They look so cute together." She squealed.

I rolled my eyes and she jabbed me in the side with her elbow.

"Gray don't you want them to be happy?" She questioned.

"Of course I do but Mandy you know daddy says we shouldn't use…"

"Use our power to meddle but it's good meddling and anyway whose going to know? Besides I was dancing with him I only suggested that Diane might want to dance with him." She said smiling.

"Come on." Daddy said breaking our conversation.

I shook my head at my sister she was just like mommy.
