114. Family
"Dad?" Teddy called out as he walked into his parents' living room glancing around curiously. He finally spotted Harry sitting at the small table set up in the corner of the room. He was focusing on something in front of him which made Teddy curious. Forgetting about his Charms question for a moment, Teddy walked over and pulled up the other chair, kneeling in it.
"What are you doing Dad?"
"I'm putting some pictures in the photo album," Harry replied, "Want to help me?"
"Yeah!" Teddy cheered as he picked up one of the photos lying around. It was of Harry, Spock and Jim during their wedding the week before dressed in their robes. There were others as well; there was one of Jim and Teddy working in Amanda's garden on New Vulcan, there was one of the Grayson-Kirk family along with Sarek, there was a picture of his grandpa George and another of his grandma Amanda, there were a few from the wedding including a group picture of the newlyweds with their son and their friends. There were even pictures from their honeymoon and shore leave.
"Isn't that Father?" Teddy questioned as he picked up a picture. In it was a young Spock who stood next to Amanda who sat in a chair; a gift from Sarek so that Teddy would know of his family. Harry nodded, "Yes, your grandpa Sarek told me that Spock was about ten there."
"Just a little older than me."
"Yup," Harry said as he took the pictures of Amanda and George, placing them on the first page of his album with the picture of his own parents. He smiled gently as Lily and James moved to look at the regular photos before gazing up at Harry and nodding in approval. Teddy waved to his grandparents who waved back.
Together Teddy and Harry carefully placed their new pictures with the older ones, mixing and matching. Teddy giggled at a goofy picture of Jim trying to get a piggy back ride from McCoy although the Southern doctor looked ready to throw him off. They added a shot of Sulu and Chekov dancing in a purposely embarrassing manner and a picture of Scotty carrying Uhura in his arms while the woman cheered.
As he admired the array his own baby pictures along with pictures of Spock and Harry as young kids, Teddy frowned thoughtfully. He gazed up at his father questioning, "Dad, why aren't there many pictures of Papa as a kid?"
Harry paused his features becoming somewhat sad. Reaching out to ruffle his son's orange hair, he explained, "Your Papa wasn't as lucky as your Father and I. Growing up he didn't have anyone to care for him since his father died and his mother… well she wasn't the best mother. His brother tried his best to take care of Jim, but he left in the end when it became too much. It wasn't till he met Christopher and Leonard that people began to care for him again."
"Oh… so he only has a few pictures?"
"Only the ones that meant the most to him. When he left Riverside, he took only a few pictures of his early youth when he still felt loved," Harry replied. Reaching out he tapped a photo, "See this one?"
"Uh huh," Teddy nodded.
"This is Jim when he was about four and that's his brother Sam, your uncle. This was before his mother remarried and the brothers were happy. Jim loves his picture dearly."
"Oh. Is Papa okay with letting you have this picture?"
"He's fine with it, I already asked. He said he'd rather have it in here where it can be surrounded by other good memories than sitting collecting dust."
Teddy hummed in understanding before he went back to sorting through the other photos. It took them nearly an hour before they were all placed away and they smiled with pride at their work. It was a moment later that Spock and Jim walked in having finished their routine reports and check-ins with all the department heads. Jim smiled when he saw them, "Honey, we're home."
"Ha ha, you're so bloody funny," Harry drawled.
"Yup, you love me for it," Jim chirped as he walked over and picked up Teddy, "Hey kiddo, had a good time with school work today?"
"Yeah," Teddy giggled and hugged him, "Dad and I were adding to the photo album."
"Indeed?" Spock questioned.
"Sounds like fun," Jim exclaimed as he moved over, "Lets see what you did."
Harry opened the album from the beginning smiling when Jim and Spock inhaled sharply at the photos of all their parents grouped together. They exchanged looks with Harry who nodded to them before he turned the page. They spent time together looking over the new photos, laughing at the goofy ones or smiling at the warmer ones. Jim was surprised that Harry had actually put his picture of himself and Sam in there. While he hadn't heard from his brother in years and still felt bitterness toward him, that photo was still precious to him. It reminded him of a time in his life when he had truthfully been happy.
"But I'm happy again," he thought nuzzling Teddy's hair, "And I'm grateful for that happiness."
"I must admit I am quite pleased with this arrangement. You and Teddy have done well," Spock complimented.
"Yeah, it's nice to be included," Jim chuckled.
"Oh course," Harry said as he closed the album and moved to put on the shelf behind the desk, "You're my husbands now and this is our family. So it's only logical to place those photos in the family album right?"
"Indeed, it is only logical," Spock agreed.
"Family… it's been a long time since I've associated myself with that word."
"True of us all," Spock remarked.
Teddy beamed, "Ohana means family and family means nobody gets left behind!"
"You've been watching Lilo and Stitch again haven't you?" Jim chuckled kissing his son's forehead. Teddy just nodded grinning.
Smiling, Harry leaned back into Spock as he said, "But it's true. We're a family now and we'll always be together as long we need each other."
"That sounds nice," Jim hummed, "I could get used to our little family."
"I find myself inclined to agree. We are most fortunate to have a healthy and content family such as ours," Spock stated.
"Yes, most fortunate indeed," Harry whispered.
