62. Recovery

The past two weeks since the incident had been straining for members of the landing party and those close to them. Scotty and Sulu were a bit more subdued once they were released from Sick Bay but were grateful to have Uhura and Chekov there as support and comfort for them. Harry was a bit more extreme mostly due to his PTSD and any other psychological scarring from his childhood, but it was to be expected. The wizard began to suffer from nightmares again, sometimes waking with hysterical screams or even forgetting where he was at the moment.

He flinched a bit more when people touched him and jumped when people approached him from behind when he wasn't paying attention. There was even an incident where Harry had become too engrossed in his memories during his shift that he almost attacked McCoy when the doctor had asked him a question. He had to be sedated for a couple of hours and when he came too, he couldn't remember what had happened.

But they held onto hope and despite all the negatives, there were positives as well. Teddy did his best to help his dad, being one of the few who could calm him if things became out of hand. They would talk, draw pictures, read together and Harry helped Teddy practice his magical lessons praising his son when he improved. There was also the fact that Jim had practically ordered Harry to move into his and Spock's room wanting the wizard to be close so that they could offer him salvation from his night terrors. It was a big step in their relationship, but they all felt it was the right choice to make and there was a deeper trust between them than there had been before.

Of course with Harry moving into Spock and Jim's quarters, there had to be a rearrangement of rooms in order to place Teddy across the hall since their adjoined room was usually used for an office/living area. Plus Harry didn't want to take the chance of his son hearing or seeing anything he wasn't ready for when the threesome eventually took their relationship to a more intimate level. Spock and Jim slept together many times during their relationship, but they had yet to include Harry when their love expressed that he wasn't emotionally prepared. They understood and respected his wishes which left the wizard grateful to them.

Yet despite everything, the good and the bad, life was slowly beginning to return to normal for them. Harry began to find himself spending more time not only with his partners, but his friends as well especially Sulu and Scotty. He even held discussions with Ensign Vigil when they had the time or their schedules weren't clashing. And of course Harry didn't mind that Teddy clung to him more than usual, his son having been distraught when he was told what happened planet side. The young doctor was merely grateful that his son had stayed on the Enterprise, feeling sick every time he even tried to imagine what would have happened to him had he been allowed to accompany him.

"Dad! Dad look!" Teddy cried out snapping Harry from his thoughts. Glancing over to where his son had been reading and practicing his spell exercises, the wizard blinked when he found the feather he had conjured floating in the air following Teddy's finger movements. Said child was grinning widely, his hair turning a sunny yellow to express his happiness and pride. Smiling Harry nodded, "Good job cub. Looks like you're a natural."

"And it was my first try too!" Teddy cheered.

"Yes, you're certainly brilliant. Just like your Aunt Hermione," Harry praised remembering when they first tried the levitating spell. It was a good memory tinged with bitterness, but he still held it close to his heart as he did with all his memories of his friends and loved ones. It was the only way he could keep their spirits with him, to hold them and never let go. After all, the worst thing in life was to be forgotten and who else would remember their sacrifice?

Hearing the door to the living area open Harry focused his attention away from Teddy and onto his companions as they walked in both having been performing their duties visiting heads of various departments upon the ship and being updated on any major projects or repairs going on. Spock was pristine as ever, but Jim looked slightly tired. It had been a long shift for all of them, longer for captain and commander since they had been making their runs as well.

Yet Jim had enough energy to smile as he joked playfully, "Honey we're home."

"Prat," Harry jabbed back.

"Aww babe! You wound me!" Jim gasped placing a hand over his chest dramatically. Harry ignored the blond in favor of gazing up at Spock greeting him, "Welcome home Spock. How was your day?"

"It was productive," Spock replied, "Dr. Zane's research concerning the plant and soil samples we found on Helion 5 several weeks ago is quite fascinating and I am pleased he has allowed me to read over his notes on the subject matter."

"I'm glad that you're finding interest in his work," Harry chuckled unable to help but find it cute when Spock spoke of something that caught his curiosity. Whether he knew it or not, the Vulcan's eyes seemed to light up as he explained the details of Dr. Zane's research and experiments; much like a child in a candy store. Of course he would never tell Spock such a thing, it would mortify him and he didn't want to wonderful spark to go away.

"Well I have great news too!" Jim cut in much like a kid seeking attention. Shaking his head, Harry questioned, "Do you now? What is it exactly?"

"Weeeelllll! I finally received confirmation from Pike and we've been given shore leave on Earth!"

"Really?" Harry perked at this, feeling a trickle of excitement flow into him. Jim nodded smiling widely, "Yup, week from now we're going to be back home resting while our fair lady gets some upgrades and repairs."

"We're going home? Yes!" Teddy exclaimed having scurried over when Jim mentioned shore leave, his feather and lessons forgotten in the excitement. Jim laughed at the young boy's enthusiasm, picking him up and swinging him around careful to not hit anything or anyone. They chattered away about all the things they would do back on Earth like going to the park, playing baseball and various other outdoor activities.

"I wouldn't mind going to the beach," Harry stated thoughtfully. Spock nodded in agreement, "Marine life along the California coast is fascinating. Perhaps we should plan a trip of some sort as we have a sufficient amount of time for shore leave. Admiral Pike approve two weeks correct Jim?"

"Yup, so a trip doesn't sound like a bad idea! But I have an even better one!"

"You always think your plans are good even when half of them are crazy, but what is your brilliant idea?" Harry asked unable to deny he was curious. Jim ignored the jib as he replied, "How about going on a real date during shore leave?"

The wizard became confused, "Wait, what do you mean a date?"

"You know, a date! Since we're together now, we should do the couple thing and go on a date. I mean I know we've shared meals together in our quarters before, but I think we deserve to take Harry out on a proper date. Don't you agree Spock?" Jim questioned.

"Indeed Jim."

The young doctor blushed in embarrassment shaking his head, "N-no way! I mean we're already planning a trip together which is going to be expensive enough, but adding some sort of fancy date is just too much!"

Jim pouted setting Teddy down and sitting on Harry's other side. He whined, "Come on Harry, it'll be nice just the three of us. We deserve to do something nice and have some intimate time to ourselves."

"Jim is correct Harry. A proper step in human courting would be to accompany you out for an evening of dining and leisure time," Spock said, "While we are most content to remain indoors with you and share discussions, it is also appropriate to indulge when provided the opportunity."

"Come on dad! Let papa and father take you out cause you never get out anyway!" Teddy insisted. Harry gapped in shock at his son, "Not you too Teddy!"

"What?" the young boy questioned, "I'm just saying! You never had any fun when we were still on Earth cause you were too busy taking care of me! But now you can have fun with father and papa cause I'm a big boy now and I can take care of myself!"

Harry groaned smacking his forehead while Jim laughed and Spock raised an eyebrow, his lips turning up slightly. To the wizard it seemed like he was being ganged up upon and he did not like it one bit. But what could he do? Part of him rather liked the idea of going out on a proper date with Spock and Jim, but he was greatly embarrassed over it as well. It had been a number of years since he was last in any sort of relationship, having been too busy taking care of Teddy and going to school to date. Yet things were different now and he could go out to enjoy himself if he wanted. Didn't make it any less embarrassing though.

Throwing his hands up in surrender, he sighed, "Fine! If it'll keep you from being such bloody pests about it then we'll go on a date! But for anything we do, I'm paying my portion to help and you can't stop me!"

"Alright, agreed," Jim chuckled hugging Harry and kissing his neck, "Don't be mad babe. We just want you happy and you deserve to be treated well. We love you is all."

Sighing Harry relaxed, "I know… love you both too."

"Do not concern yourself, all is well k'diwa," Spock soothed his mates while allowing Teddy to climb into his lap. Things were perfect and they were still suffering the aftermath of their captivity, but they were healing slowly. It just took time like anything else in the universe and at the moment, they had all the time in the world.

Vulcan Translations:

K'diwa: beloved

So it's my birthday and to celebrate I updated! Woo! I was actually going to write out another chapter before this one that involved McCoy's POV on the whole mess between Jim and Harry (a wonderful suggestion by Ladyroo88), but it just wasn't coming out like I wanted it to. But I'll still do it, just perhaps further down the line and perhaps more centered on how McCoy sees the trio's relationship and the good it's done for Harry.

Anyway! You know the drill! Review please! Thanks!
