73. Return

"Ah, it's good to be back!" Jim cheered once they materialized in the transporter room. Teddy sat comfortably on his shoulders beaming at his heightened view point while Spock and Harry stood on either side of their captain. Scotty grinned brightly at them as he greeted, "Welcome back sirs!"

"Good to be back Scotty. How was your visit with Uhura's folks?" Jim questioned as he carefully reached up and plucked his son from his shoulders setting him down.

"It was great! She said they loved me although I dinna know why. I felt like a babbling fool the whole time I was there," Scotty replied slight color gracing his cheeks. Harry chuckled, "I'm sure they were charmed by your wit and sense of humor Scotty. Nyota couldn't have picked a better man."

"Ah, trying to make meh blush laddie," Scotty chuckled, "Most of the senior officers are already on board sir if yeh wanna greet them. I believe the good doctor is currently in sick bay, probably givin' those lads and lasses a hard time."

"Sounds like Bones already," Jim smirked, "Keep up the good work Scotty."

"Aye, thank you sir."

"I believe we should stop by our quarters first to unpack before we perform our rounds and visit with the crew," Spock advised as they stepped into the hall. Jim hummed thoughtfully, "Yeah you're probably right."

They headed down the hall nodding to crew members they passed who were scurrying around or chatting with others exchanging shore leave stories. They managed to squeeze into the lift with a few others who greeted them enthusiastically. Jim immediately began to chat and gossip a bit, being the social butterfly he was. Spock watched on merely listening while Harry and Teddy added their thoughts every now and then. When they reached the level for the senior staff's quarters, they stepped out and followed the familiar pathway until they came upon their room.

"It's kind of nice to be back," Harry commented when the door opened to allow them inside. Teddy nodded in agreement, "Home sweet home!"

Jim smiled ruffling Teddy's hair, "Got that right kiddo, it's home sweet home for us."

"Although, I'm gonna miss the park," Teddy pouted, "And the beach."

"We'll visit them again soon," Harry reassured hugging his son close, "Next time we visit Earth again we'll have another trip. Maybe we'll go east this time, head to Florida."

"That would be pretty cool," Jim concurred as he began to unpack his bag. Spock was neatly refolding their clothes and placing them away although he made a sound of agreement believing the idea has some merit. Teddy grinned widely in exhilaration before flopping back onto his parents' bed, bursting into laughter when Jim began to poke his side and tickle him. Spock and Harry observed fondly as they continued unpacking the warmth of the domestic atmosphere relaxing them. Teddy sighed happily when Jim stopped and held him in his lap stroking his brown hair. The young boy murmured lazily, "But it's good to be home… cause the stars are pretty too and I want to be around them always."

"Me too Teddy, me too," Jim whispered.

Short, yes I'm sorry. It happens! Review please! Thanks!
