Ok this chapter didn't work the first time... let's try again!

Wow it's been a while! Nanowrimo took its toll on me! But I did it! :D After a week or so of recovery, I managed to get this written.

Some fluff, check in with Spencer and Stolik's bun in the oven, some foreshadowing, and Spock Prime gets to talk about his relationship with Jim and Bones in the TOS universe! Basically it's just filler leading up to the wedding ^^ Enjoy!

Anticipation of the wedding made Jim's sleep restless. It was the only thing he dreamed about. When he awoke for the umpteenth time, he looked at the clock and saw that the alarm would go off in a few minutes anyways, so it would be useless to try to go back to sleep.

Instead, he rolled onto his side and watched his bondmates sleep peacefully. Spock and Bones were twined together lovingly and it warmed Jim's heart to see the loves of his life so happy together. It seemed so strange, the gruff country doctor and the logical Vulcan, but their differences were what made them go so well together.

Propping himself up on one arm, Jim ran his hand through Spock's silky hair and watched as the sleeping face quirked into a small smile. Gently, he traced his fingers down the length of the half-Vulcan's body until he reached Spock's stomach and he flinched.

Jim pulled back, alarmed. "Spock?" he asked, softly.

The Vulcan opened his eyes and looked up at Jim. "Forgive me, it… tickled." That endearing green blush painted his cheeks.

Jim's concerned frown turned into a smile. "I didn't know Vulcan's could be ticklish."

"They cannot. It is one human weakness to which I am susceptible," Spock admitted.

"Aw, don't be embarrassed; it's cute!" Jim smiled and then reached past Spock to wake his other fiancé. "Bonesy! Wake up!"

"What?" the doctor grumbled.

"I have something I need to tell you!"

"Jim, is it really necessary to wake Leonard for this purpose?"

"Yes!"

Spock sighed.

Okay, now McCoy had to know what it was they were talking about. He opened his eyes and sat up. "What is it, Jim?"

"Spock's ticklish!" Jim exclaimed.

Bones quirked an eyebrow at his fiancés. "Oh, really?"

Jim reached back down to Spock's stomach and tickled him; the Vulcan squirmed. "See for yourself."

Per Jim's suggestion, Bones reached down under the blankets and also tickled Spock, eliciting the same reaction. "Leonard…" Spock protested weakly.

"How after seven months of being together have we not discovered this yet?" Jim chuckled.

"I tried my best to keep this fact hidden from you," said Spock. "For now you can use it against me."

"You can trust us, babe, we won't abuse our power," Jim grinned mischievously. "However, we will have… tickle fights!" The captain launched himself at Spock and tickled him back onto the bed. Spock began squirming and laughing helplessly and McCoy decided it was time to get in on it.

"Don't worry, darlin', I'll get him for ya." The doctor knew exactly where Jim was ticklish and soon had him laughing and gasping on the bed too.

"You win, Bones! Uncle!" Jim surrendered breathlessly, wiping tears of mirth from his eyes.

The doctor sat back, satisfied. "That's what I thought."

"Thank you, Leonard." Spock straightened his night shirt and tried to recover his Vulcan dignity.

As they were calming down, the comm beeped and Jim leaned over to answer it. "Captain here."

"We're just arriving at Tevis, sir," said Chekov's voice.

"Thank you, ensign. We'll be there shortly," Jim informed him and cut the connection. "You ready?" he asked his bondmates.

"As I'll ever be," said McCoy, getting out of bed. "Let's go plan a wedding."

When they beamed down, it was evening on the planet and the three fiancés found themselves at the Hansen's doorstep. McCoy looked around, trying to gain his orientation. "Damnit, if Scotty gets any more accurate he's gonna beam us right into the doorjamb!"

"Do you always have something to complain about?" Jim asked jabbing the doctor in the ribs playfully.

"Maybe," said McCoy, glowering at him.

While his fiancés were playfully arguing, Spock rung the door buzzer and soon the door slid open. "Spock! Jim! Leonard!" exclaimed Stolik, truly ecstatic to see his friends again, the friends that had made it possibly for him to have a child.

Jim and Bones turned away from each other to smile at the Vulcan and human at the door. Said Vulcan was currently hugging Spock which was awkward considering he was extremely pregnant. Next, Stolik moved to hug Jim who hugged him back. "Good to see you again too, Stolik." Jim pulled away from the Vulcan to get a good look at him. "Wow, you're… glowing!" That was the best adjective Jim could think of to describe how radiant, overjoyed, and pregnant Stolik looked.

He blushed green. "Thank you, Jim." He turned to Leonard. "And it is all possible thanks to you! If you had not come into our lives we never would have known it was possible." Stolik threw his arms around Leonard in the biggest hug yet. Suddenly, Leonard felt something move against him. Stolik gasped. "The baby just kicked!" he smiled proudly.

"I felt it," said Leonard, pulling away from Stolik to put a hand on his stomach. The baby kicked again. "Have the Tevisian doctors been able to give you a due date?"

"No," said Stolik.

"They say they don't have enough data," scowled Spencer.

"Well, I have data, from when Spock's mom was pregnant with him. But still there are variables especially considering you're both male. Let's go inside and scan you. See what's going on in there. Do you even know the gender yet?" asked McCoy.

Spencer ushered them inside and closed the door behind them. "No, Stolik, wanted to wait until you could tell us."

Stolik blushed emerald. "…It only seemed right, considering how much you've done for this pregnancy."

"We understand; you're one sentimental Vulcan," said McCoy, grabbing his tricorder and turning it on.

Spencer grabbed his husband's hand and squeezed it comfortingly. Stolik squeezed back in anticipation and they exchanged hopes and excitements through their bond.

McCoy ran his tricorder over Stolik's baby bump and looked down at the screen, impatiently awaiting the results. Jim and Spock appeared over his shoulders to get a peek at the data. They all smiled as the results of the scan popped up.

"You've got a healthy little baby girl," McCoy announced with kindness in his usually harsh eyes.

"A girl!" exclaimed Stolik excitedly, smashing his lips gleefully to his husband's. Spencer chuckled as he returned the kiss and wrapped his arms around his pregnant husband.

"Take it that's what you were hoping for?" asked Bones.

Spencer pulled away from the kiss but kept embracing Stolik. "Yeah, but we would have been perfectly happy with either. Everything's fine with her?"

The doctor looked over the results another time. "No health problems that I can see. The Tevisian doctors have been doing a good job taking care of you. You've been pregnant for almost 6 months now, correct?"

"Affirmative," said Stolik, his Vulcan ways showing through.

"Well, the average Vulcan pregnancy lasts 5 months and your pregnancy seems to be progressing quickly considering this baby is half human. I can't be sure but going by this data, the baby could be here in two weeks, maybe one." McCoy hated to be so unsure but there were just too many variables.

The expecting fathers' eyes went wide. "Really?" gasped Stolik. "A week?" asked Spencer.

"If you need any help painting the nursery, we'd be happy to lend a hand," Jim told them.

"It is not that… it is simply so sudden…" said Stolik, reaching down to touch his stomach. "We had thought we would have more time."

"Have you chosen a name?" Spock inquired.

At this, the two expecting fathers blushed simultaneously. "Yes," said Stolik.

"For a girl we decided on Lenore T'Spock Jamie Hansen," Spencer told them.

"You named her after us?" Jim grinned.

"No, Jim, we used a random name generator," said Spencer sardonically.

"Oh, haha," Jim rolled his eyes.

"Our daughter owes her existence to all of you and you have very nice names," explained Stolik.

"A logical choice of name," Spock decided.

"We're flattered," Bones assured them.

"Wait, does that mean we have to name our kid after you too?" joked Jim.

Leonard got a split second mental image of himself, Spock, and Jim, with a little baby in their arms. There was a sense of contentment and joy coupled with the image. It was strange; he had never even considered it before…

Spencer and Stolik's eyebrows quirked in perfect unison. "You're pregnant?" asked Spencer.

"Our hypothetical kid," Jim quickly clarified.

"Oh yes, humans are very fond of hypotheticals," smiled Stolik. "Hypothetically, you would not need to name your child after us but we would be most flattered if you did."

"Alright then, little hypothetical T'Spencer T'Stolik McCoy-Kirk of Vulcan," decided Jim, picturing a little girl with pointy ears, brilliant blue eyes, and wavy brown hair. He'd never really thought of himself as a father before, but it did seem kind of nice...

Within the week, everyone who was going to be in attendance to the wedding had arrived on Tevis. Winona was there as well as Sarek. And McCoy was even able to convince Jocelyn to let his 12 year old daughter Joanna come to the wedding.

"How's she going to react to having three stepdads now? You guys and that dick her mom married?" McCoy had wondered one night.

Jim had just wrapped his arms around him and smiled. "She'll be able to see how much you love us and I'm sure that will make us alright in her book. Besides, we're not dicks, right Spockie?"

"Affirmative, Jim," the Vulcan assured.

In fact, it was Jocelyn that had the problem, not Joanna. Joanna saw no problem with having two more stepdads as long as they made her dad happy. She had met them before when she had visited her dad on her summer break, and they were some of the nicest people she had ever met. Way nicer than her mom's new husband.

On the other hand, had Jocelyn just about had a conniption when Leonard told her, but that was her problem, not his. "She's just still mad because we divorced on account of me being gay," said Leonard, blushing and looking down at his feet.

Spock gave his embarrased t'hy'la a comforting Vulcan kiss. "That is most illogical of her. My former betrothed, T'Pring, was completely understanding. In fact she seemed almost pleased to sever our link," said the Vulcan in an attempt to comfort his fiancé.

Also in attendance, was Ambassador Spock, who seemed very pleased with his counterpart's decision to wed. Jim, Spock, and McCoy decided to have lunch with the ambassador aboard the Enterprise on the day before the wedding. They were quite curious as to why Old Spock had never told them if he had been romantically involved with their counterparts.

"So, tell me, Ambassador Spock, what was your relationship like with your Bones and your me?" questioned Jim, taking a bite of his traditional Tevisian salad. It was actually quite good.

"Ah, yes, I assumed you would want to know at some point," said Ambassador Spock, and took a moment to gather his memories, for a second he seemed lost in thought. It was difficult to live without one's bondmates… "The relationship between your counterparts and myself was not as easy and straightforward as it appears to be between the three of you."

Sensing an aura of hurt around the older Spock, the fiancés dimmed their bright moods. "How so?" asked McCoy.

"During our first five year mission, the relationship between all of us was very complicated. It was an established fact that we were all attracted to each other, however, the James Kirk of my universe was rather… shall we say, promiscuous and had a well-known fear of commitment when it came to romantic relationships. Due to this fact, it was near impossible for either Leonard or I to maintain a stable relationship with him. This is not to say we did not have our –I believe you would call them 'flings'—but nothing ever quite worked out."

Upon hearing this, Jim grimaced. He hated to think that he would keep himself, Spock and Bones apart, even if it was in another universe. But he could easily see how it could happen, especially if the other Jim had not gotten over his fear of commitment.

Spock continued with his story. "By the end of the first five years, Jim's sexual drive had calmed down considerably, but I had given up on him and chosen to undergo kolinahr. However, I failed when I realized that Jim was my t'hy'la and I had to return to him."

By this point, Leonard was starting to feel a little left out. "So you only realized that Jim was your t'hy'la? What about me? When do I come into this?" the doctor pouted cutely.

The ambassador gave Leonard an adoring look that would have made Spock and Jim jealous, had they been the jealous type. "In time, dear Leonard. As I was saying, after I returned, Jim and I began a wondrous relationship, which included marriage and bonding, which lasted for nearly fifteen years without any complications. Then, there was an incident in which I sacrificed my life to save the Enterprise and the crew," said Spock gravely.

Looks of shock and horror spread across the faces of the fiancés. Both Jim and Bones gripped their Spock a little bit tighter.

"Originally I had planned to give my katra to my bondmate, Jim. But instead, my katra was drawn to Leonard. As much as I wanted to trust Jim with my very soul, I knew that I needed to leave it with Leonard. As I was transferring my very being into his mind, I found the reason I felt so drawn to him. I finally realized what my soul had been trying to tell me for so many years, he too was my t'hy'la."

Bones allowed himself a little smile in the middle of the sad story and his Spock squeezed his hand lovingly.

"Wait," said Jim. "If you died… how are you here now?"

"You are why I am here now, Jim. Well, your counterpart. And yours, Leonard. You sacrificed a lot and risked your lives in order to resurrect me," Spock explained.

The younger Spock put up an eyebrow. "Resurrect?"

"Yes, but that is a story for another time, young one. Jim, I feel compelled to tell you, that your counterpart lost his son while saving me."

"I had a son?" Jim asked in awe.

"Yes, however, you were unaware of his existence for most of his life. His name was David. He likely will not exist at all in this universe," realized Spock.

"I should hope he won't. You ain't gonna have a kid with no one unless it's me or Spock," Bones told Jim, kissing him once for good measure.

"Of course not," Jim assured him softly.

"I believe we have gotten side tracked," said Spock, remembering the point of his story. "After my katra was separated from Leonard's mind, we found that we had been bonded. It was inevitable since we are t'hy'la and Jim was very understanding. He loved Leonard as much as I and we soon married him. We had a very happy life together…" the old Vulcan once again slipped into a dim place in his mind, feeling the numbness that came with being separated from one's bondmates. Sensing the young fiancés' growing concern for him, he forced himself back to reality. It was illogical to dwell on what cannot be fixed.

"That must have been wonderful, to finally be all together," commented Jim.

"Indeed, it was the best time of my life."

The younger Spock felt compelled to ask what had become of Jim and Leonard, but knew that that was also a story for another time. "Thank you for telling us that," said Spock to his older counterpart.

"It was my pleasure. Now, I should let you go. You are getting married in the morning and must have a lot to do," Ambassador Spock smiled at them and went off to go back to his guest quarters.

McCoy took in a nervous breath. "Tomorrow? It's really tomorrow?"

"It's gonna be okay, Bones. Everything will go great!" Jim assured him.

Bones scoffed. "With you involved I can't imagine how."

"But that's why you love me, right?"

"Among countless other reasons, yes, Jim," Spock answered for Leonard. "Now we should return to the planet. Stolik wanted to see us. He mentioned something about making sure we had something barrowed and something blue…"

Like it? Reviews will help me keep my motivation, something which I am in desperate need of right now! :)
