115. Eternity

The bridge of the Enterprise was buzzing with life as its crew went about their business, focusing on their work. Uhura sat at her station monitoring frequencies carefully while Sulu and Chekov playfully bickered at the helm. Scotty was currently on the bridge working on some wiring and panels that were malfunctioning, explaining to the ensign nearby what was causing the problem. Although due to the rapid words and slur of the Engineer's Scottish accent, it was hard to tell what was being said. Spock was leaning over his station studying his various screens with the intensity only a Vulcan could pull off. Jim watched as his husband worked, imaging the body that was hidden under that uniform and held off the urge to grin.

"Still feels like a dream," he thought, "All of this; a ship of my own, the best crew I could ever ask for, best friends in the universe, a great kid and the sexiest husbands alive. It all seems so surreal."

"This isn't a dream ashayam," Spock's voice echoed in his mind and he felt the caress of the bond.

"Reading my thoughts? Sneaky Vulcan, I like that," Jim teased, "And I know it's not, it still feels like a dream though. It's just difficult because I'm so used to having good things ripped from me."

"I realize this for Harry and I are the same as you Jim. We understand, but we will not allow any to take what we have struggled for," Spock assured.

"Yeah, listen to our sexy Vulcan and stop worrying or you'll get wrinkles," Harry teased.

"Are you saying I'm old? You're so mean Harry! I want a divorce!"

"No you don't you prat, you're just too vain for your own good," Harry snickered, "I swear your ego is going to take over the universe one day."

"It might," Jim chirped.

A voice suddenly came over the com unit on his chair, "Dammit Jim, stop mentally distracting Harry when he's working!"

"Hey, I didn't do anything! He was the one who started talking!" Jim protested although he was grinning. The bridge crew laughed or snickered in amusement, catching onto their captain's good mood. Even Spock seemed pleased as he raised an eyebrow. Jim resisted the impulse to stick his tongue out at the Vulcan.

"Why do I find that hard to believe?" McCoy snorted.

Jim gasped holding a hand over his heart, "Bones, you wound me! Don't you trust me anymore?"

"The moment you stop being so reckless on away missions is the moment I'll start trusting you," was the Southern doctor's reply.

"Which means it's not going to happen," Sulu chuckled from his seat.

"Thanks for the support Hikaru, really," Jim pouted.

"I'm taking my break anyway so I'll head up there with Teddy and see you soon," Harry stated. Jim grinned happily while Spock gained a contented look in his eyes.

"Well, guess it doesn't matter now. The kid is heading up to see you," McCoy informed.

"Yup, I know! Thanks for that Bones, I'll see you later!" Jim ended the connection knowing that his best friend was probably grumbling and cursing at him. But that was okay, it was just how McCoy was; it was his way of showing love! Jim smiled as he settled back in his chair waiting. Several minutes later Harry arrived much to the blonde's pleasure. And like always Teddy rushed over and climbed into his lap.

"Hey kiddo."

"Hi Papa! Is everything in order?"

"Yup, the ship is running smooth," Jim replied ruffling his hair, "Not bothering your dad too much are you?"

"Nope, I was studying," Teddy explained and automatically began to chatter away on what he was learning. Jim smiled and listened patiently, glancing from the corner of his eye to observe Spock and Harry. They stood at Spock's station talking, their fingers brushing together tenderly hidden from view. And Jim felt at peace; this was his life, his home. This was his crew, his friends and most of all his family. He hoped he would always have this to carry with him. Because Jim wasn't afraid anymore, as long as he had his friends, Spock, Harry and Teddy he felt strong. If they were by his side, Jim was confident that he could become the captain and the man that his father wanted him to be.

"We are with you always ashayam," Spock confided.

"Yes, you're stuck with us for eternity," Harry agreed.

Jim smiled slightly, "Eternity huh? That doesn't sound too bad." Not too bad at all.

The End.


And that's it! It's done! I can't believe it, it feels like a dream. I must admit when I first began writing this I never thought that people would receive it so well! It's been a long road this story and it's seen me through some difficult times, but I'm grateful. And I'm also grateful to you my readers and reviewers! You all made me so happy with your lovely thoughts and praises! It always put such a smile on my face when I would read the reviews for this story!

It almost feels like I'm letting the boys go; we've been through a lot together and they sure have grown. But fear not! There will be a sequel called Child of the Stars! Although I will give people a warning, it will feature M-Preg (male pregnancy) so if you don't like such topics then you don't have to read the sequel. I left this story at a point where you can be perfectly content. Just letting you know! For those who aren't bothered by such subject matters, you're more than welcome to read it! Hopefully I'll have a large part of it done before I get back from Houston in July, but we'll see since I'll be working on other stories or artwork.

Again thank you all for your support and your loyalty as my readers! I'm amazingly happy! I hope to see a lot of you again for the sequel!

Always,
Seth
