Chapter 17:
*Enterprise*

*T'Aimnu's POV*

My mate finds a break like myself. So I decided to take care of him even though it's only for a few minutes. A soft smile curls up on my lips as I carry a tray with a glass of ice water.

"Leonard?" I speak to the stressed out male doctor.

He looks up and smiles to me. "Just your presence always calm me down in a crazy situation T'Aimnu." Then his dark eyes see the drink. "For me?"

"One of the things that the Creature roots is that the female gets to take care of their mates because of their love," I giggled a little, offering it to him.

"Thank you my love," he kisses my cheek.

We both sit down on the floor of the hallway to rest our legs. I place the tray down and begin to massage his tensed shoulders.

"Anything for the love of my life."

Leonard let out a few soft moans, relaxing under my touch.

"You're so good at this," he mumbles under his breath.

I didn't speak another word as I slowly move my hands from his shoulders down his biceps and down to his torso. My head presses against his shoulder blade when I smile, hugging him, closing my eyes.

"What did I deserve to have an amazing girl like you?" he asked softly smiling, accepting the hug by placing his free hand over my hands.

"By taking away the pain," I answered softly, still smiling and eyes closed. "The greatest thing that a Creature could ask for in a mate." I kiss his clothed bicep. "Only you could do this to me."

"I wish I could take away the pain permanently."

"Your touch and love are all I need Dr. Leonard McCoy."

He turns around giving me an emotional smile. Leonard's hands form into a heart showing it to me. I smiled more to him showing my love as I form my hands into a heart as well. We press our hands together into another way for the Creature kiss.

"T'Aimnu," Leonard speak, gently stroking my cheek with his knuckles. "Later on, would you like to join me for dinner please?"

"I would love to Leonard," I melt into the touch, smiling softly.

"Cousin T'Aimnu to the Bridge," we hear my cousin's voice at a nearby communicator.

"Damn you Spock," Leonard growls under his breath.

"I'll return to you love," I quickly press my lips against his before standing up on my feet. Soon I have arrived when an alarm flashes. "Something wrong Cousin Spock?" I asked the captain who's with Uncle Sarek.

"Keptin," Chekov speaks to him, "we're detecting unauthorized access to a water turbine control board!"

He moves from Uncle Sarek to the young human. "Bring up video," he orders.

I move up to Uncle Sarek's side with a bow of the head of respect when Chekov brings up two dozen security video images on one screen.

"Nam-tor ish-veh ko-mekh heh sa-mekh muhl?" Uncle Sarek asked me softly.

"Ko-mekh heh sa-mekh nam-tor muhl," I answered back. "T'nash-veh katelau nam-tor getting is-tor tor etwel zan-tor sahris."

"Sem-rik," he raises an eyebrow.

Cousin Spock soon points to one and it enlarges. On the screen has Kirk and someone quietly familiar to me racing through the ship. He and I narrow our eyes as he moves to the Captain's chair to give out orders, "Security, this is the captain, seal engineering deck and bring me the intruders in turbine station three set phasers to stun."

"Cousin Spock," I speak to him from behind him. "What about Mommy and Daddy?" I asked, concerned for them.

"Inform them what's going on and we'll make sure that they are safe from them," he answers, turning the chair to me.

"Bridge to Solok and Throne," I said to the a communicator near me.

"Solok here," Daddy's voice speaks first.

"Are you and Mommy in your quarters?"

"Yes we are."

"We have two instructors on the bridge. Security are on the search for them. Stay in your quarters for your safety."

"Thank you T'Aimnu, we'll be in our quarters."

*No One's POV*

Young Kirk is at the panel while accesses the release valve control. Scotty disappears through a clear section. He times it as he waits and then hits the button, causing Scotty to drop through the release valve and slams to the floor.

"You alright?" Kirk asked Scotty.

Scotty's hurt and wet from the impact. "Nice," he coughs, recovering still breathing deeply. "Ship, really" he finishes.
"Let's get to the bridge."
