87. Strawberries

"Scotty, have I ever told you how much of a genius you are?" Harry questioned as he happily plucked a plump, ripe strawberry from the bowl in the center of table. The senior staff minus Spock, Jim and McCoy sat indulging in the treat that the Scottish engineer managed to scrounge up after tweaking with one of the replicators.

"Aye lad you have, but I dunna mind hearing it again," Scotty joked as he sat with Uhura, holding her close.

"You've really outdone yourself Scotty," Sulu chuckled as he set aside the leafy top and reached for another one. While replicated food wasn't bad, especially since Scotty was constantly messing with the machines, it could never compare to real food and the strawberries were the closest they had come. Chekov nodded licking his lips, "It's delicious!"

"Teddy seems to be enjoying them," Uhura joked as she watched the young boy stuff his face, his cheeks puffed out a little and stained red with juice. Shaking his head Harry reached out to pat his son's hair replying, "Teddy's favorite fruit is strawberries. He's been addicted to them since he first started eating solid foods. If it was just him alone, he could probably polish off the whole bowl."

"Woah, we better be careful then or he might try to take off one of our fingers," Sulu laughed. Teddy glared playfully as he swallowed before sticking out his tongue and then brandishing his teeth in a threatening manner. The rest of the table joined in laughter, feeling much better than they had in weeks. It was certainly refreshing to take a moment to enjoy life and not indulge in work or worries.

"You got a right vicious child there Harry," Scotty commented before biting into a strawberry. Harry shrugged, "What can I say? It's in his blood."

"Oooh! Strawberries!" Jim exclaimed as he walked in with Spock and McCoy following him. Immediately the blond plucked up a strawberry and bit into it with enthusiasm that had the rest of his crew chuckling in amusement. Chekov giggled, "You seem wery happy Keptin."

"Of course! I love strawberries, they're my favorite fruit!"

"Mine too Papa!" Teddy chirped smiling widely. Jim sat down next to him and pulled him into his lap grinning. He tilted his head, "Oh yeah?"

"Yup!"

"I didn't know you liked strawberries," Uhura remarked. Swallowing Jim explain, "Yeah, it's cause I'm not allergic to them."

"Which is surprising cause it seems like you're allergic to everything under the god damn sun," McCoy grumbled. Curiously Spock watched his companions indulge in their treat that seemed to bring them much joy. Noticing his gaze, Harry held out the strawberry he had already bitten into offering it to his lover. The Vulcan hesitated before taking a bite and chewing thoughtfully. It was a good balance of sweet and sour, very pleasing to his pallet.

"Good?" Harry questioned.

"Affirmative," Spock replied before leaning down again to take another bite. Harry just smiled and let him, basking in the good mood that settled over them. The last few weeks following Kodos' arrest had been challenging for all of them, especially Jim. But they were getting through it, slowly but surely. Life was difficult, they would push on and persevere. After all, they were the crew of the Enterprise, the flag ship of the Federation. They could take on anything the universe could throw at them and they would conquer it with unwavering determination.
