A/N: Hey guess what guys? THIS ONES SOONER THAN THE LAST ONE! Jsndfkahbfkehfbkaeh Are you proud of me? I have just been getting so many review from all of you I had to hurry up and write this one. Now I am sorry about any Typos as always but this one also has a lot going on and I hope that you guys enjoy it!


Soval was screaming at the top of his tiny lungs. His cheeks were wet with tears and he was gasping for breath in between each earsplitting scream. The tiny child did not know what was going on, he didn't understand why some vital part of him was hurting, and his mind was just too young to comprehend what was going on. Uhura who was holding the child was trying to quite the screams but found that nothing she did was remotely helping and in fact her touch just seemed to make the child want to jump out of her arms.

Spock looked up at Uhura and the screaming child, no his son, and he realized that whatever was effecting him was also effecting the infant. It was something strong and powerful, it burned and seared at the end of his bond with Jim and it pulled in ways that almost had the Vulcan back on his feet and throwing the wrong people across the room. The screaming wasn't helping his walls and Bones had abandoned the half Vulcan to go check of the infant that was almost choking on his sobs.

Halfway through the scans the screaming intensified and Uhura decided enough was enough because Spoke was an asshole and her ear felt like it was going to start bleeding soon. The woman charged over to the seemingly impassive Vulcan and thrust the child into his arms. The woman couldn't remember the last time that the man had held his own son and she was sure that it had been far too long. The infant almost instantly turned down the volume as Spock instinctively wrapped his arms around the little boy and stared down at Soval who had suddenly been thrust into his arms.

"You hold you god damned son this instant or I swear to whatever deity watches over your sorry ass that I will through you out the air lock!" The words were a low hiss and all in the vicinity instantly felt guilty for something they hadn't done. Uhura had that way about her, she could make the strongest man feel guilty about what they had done and almost beg her for forgiveness. Of course Spock wasn't going to say he was sorry, instead the Vulcan just shifted the infant so that he was laying more comfortably and the cries died down to soft whimpers that had Spock slightly confused. How the child could be so relieved to be held by him… he did not know.

Bones stood there beside the bewildered Vulcan and the still fuming Uhura. He had scanned Soval and found several indications of distress that could be detrimental to the child's health and he knew that he had to administer something so that the far to heart rate he was receiving would slow back to the normal level. Whatever this was that was affecting the small family, Bones was sure, Was directly related to what Jim was going through. A loud beep from the comm. had most of the now silent crew in the med bay jumping where they stood and all that were staring at Spock and Soval dispersed as Bones tapped his comm.

"This better be damn important-" Bones was cut off by a seemingly chaotic noise and then Sulu was all but shouting into the comm. and Bones wasn't understanding a word of what the Asian was saying because he was speaking to fast for even Chekov to understand.

"Sulu, SULU, calm down… hold on slow down and repeat what you just said." Sulu took a deep breath through the comm. and then started again.

"It's Jim! He moved to another point in the ship where we could track him but… we can't beam hi out. It's something about the hull in the area that he's in! Its too thick and his heart life signs are fading… it's not fast but we have to get him out of there! Scotty said that he can beam someone aboard but the ship has to-" suddenly there was a lurch in the ship and Sulu was shouting for the ship to stop. Bones felt another lurch as the ship suddenly dropped from warp and he knew that Sulu had gotten that stop he was obviously wishing for but the Asian was cursing again and he was shouting at people and then the ship was rocking and the obvious sounds of an explosion were heard.

"Shit! Chekov! Get the shields up! Get us turned around! They dropped out ready for a fight-" the noise on the others side of the com died for a few seconds as another shot rocked this ship but didn't make contact. Bones hit his comm. again.

"Sulu, Sulu! Come on man give me some more info! Who do we need to send down?" Uhura was halfway out the door when Bones finally turned around and was met with a standing Spock who was handing Bones Soval. A buzz on the comm. and static before bones got his answer and he knew that their was no objecting it.

"S….Spock….Se…. Spock dow…. Sco..y can se…m ov….er" the static and noise was horrible and Bones assumed that Sulu's comm. had been damaged but he had no real time to guess as Soval was deposited fully into his arms and Spock was heading to leave. Bones of course pursued him but even and injured Vulcan was to fast when they had somewhere to be. Bones stood out in the hall and shouted down to Spock who was moving as fast as his legs could carry him.

"Spock! DAMMNIT! You pointy eared bastard you can't do this! You're still injured!" A second later and bones knew he could do nothing to stop the man as he rounded a corner. Bones felt something in his heart drop because this could be the end of both Jim and Spock. Bones turned and headed back into the med bay with his head hung. A frustrated sigh escaped him and he shifted Soval in his arms.

"Those two better come back alive or so help me god." Soval whimpered slightly and Bones decided that he should take care of the child before he was hit with a rush of injured red shirts.

Spock was fast and he knew that despite his control he was running because the ship was being fired on and Jim was in the hands of the enemy and Spock's shields were shattered because he could feel the bond fading and there was a soul that could stop him from saving Jim, HIS Jim, and these thoughts brought the illogical fear of being this close to another living being and even more so one that was so close to death. Spock would admit it now, he would say it to the next person that asked him if he must, he was afraid. He was illogically and irrationally afraid and he felt completely and utterly HUMAN.

Spock wore only the medical Smock he had been given in the med bay but he didn't take the time to fully stop and change. It was one sight to see Spock running through the halls in a medical outfit and another to see the man rushing to put on cloths in the middle of the hallway, cloths he had replicated of course. Spock of course didn't strip off his smock until he pulled on his pants and then he was just leaving it and running through the halls and pulling on his shirt as his heart pounded in his side.

Spock charged into the transporter room where Scotty was yelling at some poor redshirt and trying to stop a fire on the other side of the room. Spock all but charged up to the control bad and after only a minute or two he had the location he was going to beam into and then he was stepping on the pad and Scotty was finally realizing he was their just as the Vulcan went down on one knee with his 'acquired' phase pistol. The scene was slightly reminiscent of one that had only had a little over two years ago and yet, now that he thought about it, it was ages. Scotty shouted just as Spock dematerialized and that calm Vulcan mask was shut over Spock's fear and he set out on his one mission.

He was saving Jim and he wasn't going to let this mission end with him losing a person he cared about he wasn't going to let Jim, his precious Jim, be his mother. Spock materialized in the middle of what could only be described as hell. People were running and shouting at each other, others were pinned under rubble and some were trying to help. In the chaos he went almost unnoticed but it only last long enough for him to get to the end of a hall before he was being shot at.

Blast were hitting the wall and Spock's feet were hitting the floor and dodging around bodies as he felt himself eat up the ground between Jim and himself. Each corner was a new foe and each one went down with a shot right where it would end them. There were no prisoners and there would be no survivors left in Spock's path. These men and woman were a threat and they were shooting at him so the received the same treatment except Spock was a better shot. A slick puddle of what Spock guessed was blood had him stumbling but with ease Spock used that momentum to propel himself into the next person and knock them to the ground before he was chagring off again. The map was in his head, he could see himself moving like a flashing life sign, he knew where he was and then he was turning into a room that was covered in Jims scent and something else that made the inside of Spock, the inner animal, screech.

Spock's moment of utter hatred was interrupted as the man he could only assume as the captain of the ship charged into the room with his weapon drawn.

Danar was PISSED. He had stopped the ship because his little hostage, who he wasn't SUPPOSED to kill was trying to escape and was most likely going to GET himself killed. But then out of freaking no the ship that he had taken his toy from was dropping out of warp and they were firing at each other, and damn if those cannons hadn't gotten strong. Danar's ship was still damaged and now the shields were already down and he just had to get what he was paying for and get the hell off because he wasn't a military man, he was a smuggler of sorts, and yes he had contacts but he wasn't going to stay loyal to a useless crew!

Danr charged through the ship and found his way to the room where he had left Jim and where his 'loyal' crew should have been trying to get the bastard back but instead had run off because that what the worthless pieces of sh*t he called a crew did! Danar rounded the corner to open dorr only to find none other than the commander of the god damned enterprise! Danar raised his pistol only to be bodily tossed by the man out of the room. Obviously this man he had just found was not happy with him and Danar knew it was because the Vulcan could tell, could very well SMELL, what he had done. Danar looked up at the enraged man.

Spock glared at the man that he could smell all over the room, the man that just blazed with hatred and a sadistic nature and the last restrain Spock had on his anger snapped. The man raised his pistol and Spock crossed the small distance in mere milliseconds before he threw the man hard enough against the wall to incapacitate him. The man laid stunned on the ground for a few seconds before blinking up at Spock who had stepped closer to him. Spock stared down at the man his face blank but the hatred in his eyes flaring to an intensity that would have melted the metal behind the man's head if he had the chance. Spock raised his pistol and stared down at the thing he considered less than a man.

"No wait ple-" Danar tried to beg but before the last word was said Spock had his phaser set on its highest setting and a shot was flying through the man's skull and sending his whole body to ash. Spock felt oddly satisfied but with the rumble of the ship he was back in the room and ducking into the air vent after all but ripping off the cover that Jim had so carefully put in place. Spock knew he had to calm himself and focus so once he was inside he stopped for a second and then… he cleared his mind. Spock wiped all thought, all noise, out of his range and he focused only on the bond that he had with Jim and where Jim was. There was blood dripped everywhere and Spock knew that was so Jim could through the men off his path.

A brief moment of the illogical pride he always felt for Jim had Spock almost stopping but then the man was continuing on his path and searching for the one person he realized he cared the most about. Slowly Spock found himself getting closer and then his blood was rushing in his ears and his emotions were like vices on his heart as he could almost taste the blood in the air. Finally, after what seemed like years, Spock was finding Jim and his heart all most stopped. The man was covered in blood and bruises and cuts. Something inside the Vulcan pulled and he wanted to shoot that bastard captain a million times over for hurting his Thy'la. Suddenly the thoughts were wiped away as the shipped rocked and then groaned and Spock knew that they were running out of time. The comm. he had screech a trill at him as Spock gently shifted Jim's position and felt for a pulse. It was there but it was fading and Spock was concerned, he couldn't stop himself….

"Jim… Jim wake up. Jim you need to wake up, I know you can, you have to wake up… Please Jim… Please." Something in the Vulcan pulled and he was holding Jim close to him as he tried to reign control but he was shattering because Jim's pulse was fading and he had failed again. Spock felt his heart crash and he almost gave up and just curled around Jim so they would go down with the ship but then Spock felt something in the bond pull and Jim's pulse gave a quick flutter and strengthened a little. Spock stared down at Jim and then he was pulling the man fully into his arms and moving as wuickly as he could through the vents. No, he wasn't going to stay on this ship, even if Jim was going to die he wasn't going to let it happen on this ship with the men who had hurt him and it was illogical and irrational but Spock didn't care anymore because right now he was going to be HUMAN because that was how he needed to act to save Jim and he would do that for JIM.

Spock slipped and slid and half crawled through the vents and he was halfway through the last one that lead towards the exit when he heard Scotty.

"I am beaming you up! I have to get you out now or you'll die! Both of you" There was static and a rumble than a great deal of cussing and Scotty was shouting for a fire to be put out. Spock looked down at Jim and held the man close as he felt the once stronger pulse slowly fade out. Spock felt that familiar tingle on his sense just as Jim's heart gave a stutter and then stopped.


God his head hurt, his head hurt like he had just been trampled by a thousand elephants. The man shivered and shifted as he raised a hand to his aching head and realized it wasn't just his head that hurt. Fuck! He just hurt everywhere and he could remember why he was hur-. It was a sudden moment that the memories came back to him, all the pain and the fear and the screaming, and that he had been on a ship and tied down. No wait he had escaped into the air vent but… oh god had they found him again?

Blue eyes flew open and if Jim had the capability to he would have jolted himself awake but as soon as he opened his eyes he realized there was a pressure on his chest and a hand holding his. Jim stopped for a second as he saw the white wall and the ceiling of the place he knew. He was safe, he was finally safe, he was back on the enterprise and he wasn't being hurt. Jim let out a sigh of relief and covered his eyes with his unoccupied hand as he felt the tears build up in relief because he was finally safe. There was the sound of shifting beside him and then a hand that Jim knew all too well was stroking gentle fingers over his upturned palm. Jim spent a minute composing himself as the man next to him continued to send calming and loving feelings his way.

Jim moved his hand from his eyes and stared up at Spock who was not looking at him but instead across the room at where bones was standing. A few seconds more and Spock was glancing over at Jim and the blond captain was a little surprised to see a split lip and black eye on the man. Spock let his hand rest where it was and stopped its stroking. Obviously the man had gotten in a fight somehow and Jim was sure if he wanted to know how. What was really shocking Jim though was the fact that Spock was sitting beside him and despite the black eye seemed tired even for a Vulcan, bags starting to form under his eyes, but there was an obvious relief, on that was bone deep, in the man's eyes that said more than if Jim had asked.

Jim smiled lightly and gripped the others hand before finally looking down at what was resting on his chest. When Jim glanced down he was surprised to see a now awake, not quite smiling, baby Soval. The child was starting to wiggle around and Jim, although he was happy, was trying to figure out how the infant had gotten there. Spock removed his hand from Jims and grabbed Soval. The Vulcan held the child close and Jim just stared at the image because he was honestly shocked that Spock would hold the child after… after what he had done. Obviously someone's mind was changed and that just made Jims heart skip a beat because damn if Spock didn't look perfect holding their son. Jim shifted and grinned up at Spock.

"You look like shit Spock." The Vulcan seemed stunned for a second before raised an eyebrow and staring down at the captain.

"I am inclined to say that you, also, look like excrement at this moment James." Jim's grinned dropped off his face for an incredulous look before he was laughing and he ribs were hurting. Spock held that half little 'not' smile that he had and neither of them noticed that Bones was staring at them. It was a sight that most of the crew had been waiting for, something that despite the situation was long coming. Soval gave a garbled noise to signal that he was indeed still there and that he wanted in on the action then started flailing which had Spock floundering in a completely 'non-floundering' way and trying to hold onto the child who had been mostly still every time he had held him.

Jim felt his heart skip a beat at the sight of Spock, and he knew he was being cheesy, but as he looked at the scene of his son and the man he wanted to spend the rest of his life with he found himself forgiving everything that had happened between them. Jim understood now, he could see why Spock had done what he did, and while the subject wasn't fully discussed and certainly not dropped Jim just couldn't hold a grudge against this man. There was one thing Jim remembered most about being on that ship, a moment when he was in his own mind and wanting to give up. Jim had heard Spock, had heard how… human the other sounded and how hurt and so scared he was for him, and Jim had fought for what little he had left and he tried his hardest to stay with Spock. Jim reached his hand out and rest it gently on Spock's as the man reposition Soval. Spock stopped for a second and glanced at Jim.

"I'm awake now." Spock couldn't hide the confusion, and then the shock, at the others statement. That half smile came back and Spock leaned over and gently kissed Jim.

"Indeed you are."
