READ ME FIRST! Well shit, I got quite a number of rather rabid responses this time around. Lol, try saying that five times fast. Anyway, in the previous chapter I asked you if you would prefer if I added M-Preg or not. While many of you agreed that you would, there were a few people that brought up a good point on why I shouldn't add it. Mainly because logically the Enterprise wouldn't be a good environment to raise a baby (Teddy being the exception because he's a young boy who can generally look after himself) and also because sometimes readers feel that when a fic introduces M-Preg, the fic begins to loose track of the original plot and instead focuses on the events of the pregnancy. Which I understand as I have read such fictions like that before and a lot of times there will be readers who will stop reading the fic entirely just because of M-Preg. While I respect peoples' opinions on what they like or dislike, I generally like M-Preg as long as its well written and not to sound egotistical in any way, but I do work hard to keep my stories within the boundries of their plot and never stray from that goal. So I decided to make a compromise.

I will not be adding M-Preg to this particular fic. However I will write a separate fic (most likely a one shot) that will be based in this same universe, but most likely a little further in the future when Kirk, Spock and Harry are no longer serving on the Enterprise. So anti M-Preg people can happily read this without worry and supporters of M-Preg will have a separate fic of which they can indulge themselves. So I hope that this decision will make everyone happy. If not then I'm sorry, but this is the best I could come up with. I really do want to have some M-Preg because I do like writing such fics, but as I showed you with my explanation I'm willing to be flexable. Anyway, enough about all of this! Read the chapter and enjoy!

28. Hurt

"What the hell happened?" McCoy bellowed as Harry was wheeled into Sick Bay bruises already forming on his skin, his uniform torn to shreds and his head was bleeding slowly, but steadily. He wasted no time in gathering his equipment and barking orders. Standing nearby was Jim, his uniform dirty as well and he too had a few bruises, but nothing serious. Spock was at his side immaculate as always, but his high eyebrows were furrowed deeply as he stared at Harry's prone form.

Gritting his teeth, Jim hissed, "We were negotiating treaties with the Kros who showed interest in joining the Federation. In exchange for our protection, they would offer us valuable ores that they uncovered. Before we could sign the paperwork, some rebels barged in stating that the ore was not ours to take. A fight broke out and we tried to take cover so we could beam out. I don't know what happened, I was calling Scotty one minute and the next I hear this explosion."

"One of the rebels had activated a homemade bomb of some sort. It landed near Ensign Smith and Lt. Watson. Hadrian saw the bomb and reacted on instinct, pushing them out of the way just as it went off taking the full blast," Spock narrated his eyes never leaving Harry even as McCoy and Chapel began to work on him.

Cursing under his breath, McCoy tenderly lifted Harry's head to check his head wound while Chapel cut through his uniform to get to the burns and cuts. As he parted some hair and moved to run his dermal regenerator over the wound, McCoy froze. He couldn't believe what his eyes were showing him, but it was real and true. The wound was healing itself! Slowly but steadily the wound was growing smaller and the blood was flowing sluggishly, nearly stopping.

"Bones?" Jim called in worry wondering if it was worse than he thought. He felt Spock tense even more beside him, no doubt just as scared even if he didn't show it. Snapping out of his stupor and making a mental note to sit Harry down and have a talk with him, McCoy got back to work. He muttered gruffly, "It's nothing, it's not as bad as I thought is all."

Jim sighed in relief feeling a faint brush in his head as Spock attempted to comfort him through their bond. Neither of them could explain their extreme emotions and reactions when it came to the small doctor. They had talked about it once they had realized that they were feeling the same thing and all they could conclude was that somehow they were drawn to Harry just as strongly as they were drawn to each other. It was confusing and even now they were trying to figure out what to do about it.

"Will Hadrian recover Dr. McCoy?" Spock inquired.

"Yeah, he's pretty lucky as far as I can tell. Just a few days of rest and he should be okay," McCoy replied as he continued to work on Harry having shooed Chapel away to fetch some clean clothing for him. Nothing more was said between them as McCoy worked while Jim and Spock watched on. Teddy was eventually brought in after Jim contacted the bridge and Harry was patched up. The small boy was quick to climb in Spock's lap and clung tightly to the Vulcan. It was habit he seemed to have developed and Spock learned to deal with it, not even really minding it all that much now or days.

"Will dad be okay?" Teddy questioned quietly.

Offering him a tired smile, Jim ruffled his hair, "Don't worry, your dad is tough. He'll be okay."

Teddy nodded resting in Spock's lap as he clung to Jim's sleeve, only releasing him briefly so that McCoy could patch him up. But after that the three of them sat together by Harry's bed in silence even when Teddy fell asleep and Jim began to nod off. They couldn't leave, not until they saw those familiar bottle green eyes and knew he was truly fine.

ONE MORE THING! A reviewer by the name of Timme asked me why Harry became a doctor especially when he has to look after Teddy. They stated that it seemed irresponsible to take a child onto a Starship and that since Harry decided to be a doctor, he has no right to complain during the times when he doesn't like his job because of the horrors he sees. They are valid questions and observations so in no way am I bashing this person. Rather, I want to explain Harry's reasoning.

Due to the war with Voldemort, Harry suffers from PTSD and also quite a heavy dose of guilt. Everyone he cared for died and the way I viewed it, Harry has a hero complex since he took on the heavy responsibility of killing Voldemort to protect those he cared for. But because they died, Harry feels survivors guilt because he lived while they died. In his mind, if he became a doctor he would be working to redeem himself in not only his eyes, but the eyes of those he couldn't save. And the reason he decided to become a doctor in Star Fleet is because no doubt it's a good paying job and due to the way he grew up, being given the bare minimum and mostly hand me downs, he wants to work in order to provide the best he can for Teddy. To make sure he's never without want like he was. This was what was going through my mind when I was building up this story and I think these are normal decisions for someone in Harry's shoes.

Anyway, I hope that provides a sufficient explanation for not only Timme, but for any of you who may have wondered the same thing. This fic is really about Harry who, after clinging so long to the past, is finding reasons to grow and move on with his life. He'll go through his ups and downs like any normal person which I'm sure you've noticed already. Truthfully this is about second chances; it's about Harry truly appreciating the gift that he's been given in his second life. He's forging new friendships, he's learning to overcome his own guilt and pain, he's allowing love into his life and allowing people to get close to him; overall he's learning to live for himself again. That's what this is about in the end.

And now I'm done sounding like some Sunday School teacher. My brain goes into a weird mode when I'm tired. But either way, please remember to review! Thank you!
