Episode 2-1 Amok time!

Spock had stopped eating with Saya. She didn't quite know why. It's not that he wouldn't join her but that he stopped eating anything. She did a little research and with the help of Uhura got access to a kitchen. She made Vulcan plomeek soup in hopes to get him to eat something. As she was walking to his quarters she saw Kirk and McCoy and paused unsure of herself.

McCoy called her over and looked at her food recognising it. "Well," she looked at the food then up at him " seems off. I'm not sure why, and he stopped eating. I'm hoping…" Saya trailed off as she looked at Spock's door. McCoy told her to carry on and she did. Knocking she called out to Spock and he demanded what she wanted in a not too friendly tone.

McCoy called out that there was plomeek soup for him and Spock opened his door and snapped at Bones. "Poking and prying! If I want anything from you, I'll ask for it!" His eyes rested on Saya for a moment before looking at Kirk and saying in a barely controlled tone "Captain, I should like to request a leave of absence on my home planet. On our present course you can divert to Vulcan with a loss of but two point eight light days."

Kirk asked what the devil it was about and Spock almost snapped at him saying "I have made my request, Captain. All I require from you is that you answer it. Yes or no." before returning to his room and locking his door. Saya stood there holding the food and unsure of what to do. She didn't mean to upset Spock and was certain he did not want others to see him like that.

Saya returned to her room and waited trying to think of how to help Spock. The next morning she quickly went to eat alone and met Spock on his walk to the bridge. Saya found out that Kirk had accepted Spock's request but then Starfleet let Kirk know in no uncertain terms that they were to accommodate attendance for an Inauguration ceremony.

Kirk altered the course and told Spock that he would have his leave after but Saya got the distinct impression that later would not be an option. Spock sent her to do her reading and she complied. A short time later Spock stopped by her quarters but left before saying anything. Saya quickly got up to follow. She knew something was very wrong. Spock stopped by sickbay and McCoy tried to give him an examination, Spock tried to refuse.

Finally McCoy got him to comply. Spock said "Examine me, for all the good it'll do either of us." Saya watched from the side and noticed the constant twitching. She was unsure what was going on but had noticed the difficulty in speech and the almost nervous movement. As they walked back to his quarters she followed him into his room and was about to ask him if he was ok when he turned to her and reached out a hand.

Though she didn't flinch or move he stopped and lowered it. She noticed the strange shaking in his hands and again went to ask. This time he spoke. "I greatly admire you. Your determination and creative thinking have been a great asset in multiple instances. You have shown bravery in the face of danger and flexibility in coping with the unknown."

Saya was confused and asked what this was about. "I would like to declare koon-ut so'lik." Spock said and Sayas confusion increased but before she could ask, Spock put his hands behind his back and stood at a ridged attention and requested for her to leave. Saya returned to her room and tried to figure out what to do about Spock. She pulled up her computer and looked up what he had said.

It took a while but Saya found the word and discovered it meant marriage or proposal. Sayas eyebrows hit her hairline as she read about it. She didn't understand quite all of it but the gist of it was simple. Spock had asked her to leave after proposing marriage and he wasn't himself. Saya wanted to talk to Kirk about it but also didn't want to do something to upset Spock. Debating for a bit she finally darted out of her room and headed to Kirk's. She failed to see Spock come out of his room to knock on her door before seeing her leave.

Knocking on Kirk's door she heard him say come in. Entering she saw Kirk and McCoy and hesitated. She had caught the tail end of what McCoy had been saying "He does, and he's as tight lipped about it as an Aldebaran Shellmouth. No use to ask him, Jim. He won't talk."

McCoy left and Saya looked at Kirk's grim face a moment before saying never mind and running back to her quarters.

The next day her concern for Spock overrode her common sense and she went to check on him. Though Vulcans could go without eating it had been 5 days and she had not seen Spock eat or drink anything. She knocked on his door and it opened for her. As soon as she walked into his room, he got off his bed and said "It would be illogical for us to protest against our natures. Don't you think?"

Saya looked at him in growing concern. " , is Kirk and McCoy helping you?"

"They are unable to help me. You…" Spock trailed off. Forming his outstretched hand into a fist he banged it against the wall. "Please leave." He asked her with ragged breath. Saya did as asked. Finding Uhura, Saya sat with her like a confused puppy. When Uhura asked what happened Saya refused to answer and just sat in thought. She looked up to see Spock and Kirk enter and Kirk order a chanel to open to Vulcan space central.

The Vulcan person granted them permission to do standard orbit and asked if Spock was there. They then told him to stand by to activate central viewer. Saya watched in a kind of shock as a drop dead gorgeous Vulcan appeared on the screen and Spock said "T'Pring, parted from me and never parted, never and always touching and touched. We meet at the appointed place."

The woman named T'Pring repeated it back and Uhura asked who she was. Spock said "She is T'Pring. My wife." Saya was vaguely aware of Uhura, McCoy and Kirk looking at her. Setting her face to stone Saya waited for Spock, Kirk and McCoy to leave and once the turbolift was clear she almost silently told Uhura she would be in her room. Uhura was unable to leave and Saya knew it, and for once was glad.

As soon as she was out of sight she ran to her room and locked the door. She looked around as if lost for a few minutes before grabbing her blanket and curling up under it. Using it to cover herself entirely she proceed to cry her eyes out. After some time she got up, sighed and reminded herself that she shouldn't have had hope in the first place. Ruffling her hair she pulled the clip out and jumped in the shower.

As she got out she wrapped a towel around herself and started drying her hair. She debated cutting it but decided that it took too much work to grow. As she dried her hair she heard her door open. Exiting her bathroom confused and wary she wondered who had entered her room despite the locked door. She saw Spock standing just inside her door looking around and muttering slightly.

She felt like crying all over again but instead said coldly "I thought you beamed down to Vulcan and you wife, ." Spock looked at her a moment then approached lifting his hand again. Saya still did not flinch, and this time he placed it on the side of her face. She felt the now familiar sensation of a mind meld but this time instead of the customary mental sensation she just got the overwhelming urge to mate.

She looked at Spock, fighting the urge to undress him and was completely puzzled by it. Spock lowered his hand and Saya promptly backed up. Sitting on her desk she tried to fight the strange urges and desires, whispering to herself over and over "he's a married man." She failed to notice Spock, feet from her, taking his uniform off. Once he was completely naked he approached her and placed his hand on the side of her face again.

***************lemon warning***********

Saya looked up to see Spock, naked and rearing to go. Standing she looked into his eyes and every other thought fled her mind except to mate with him. Spock pulled Saya close to him and kissed her hard. She melted slightly not fighting as her instincts told her to just go with the flow. Spock's hand moved down her body and he groped her butt while letting his tongue slide into Saya's mouth. There was a slight off taste from the copper based man but it still felt good.

After both where satisfied thoroughly they both promptly feel asleep in a messy heap on the bed.

***************lemon warning***********

Saya slowly woke from her blissful sleep only to go into a near panic. Spock responded immediately trying to find the source. Saya sat up, hands on her head, eyes wide as she said "what the hell? Not only did I have sex out of wedlock, I just had sex with a married man." Spock finally understood and calmed down.

"The first is true, the second is not." Spock informed her, sitting up as well. He could feel how close she was to becoming hysterical. She looked at him with the same trusting eyes she always had for him and he smiled his smile as he explained. "On Vulcan we have arranged marriages. There is a bonding between the children when we are 7. It is more than an engagement but less than a marriage."

Saya nodded still not seeing how this changed his marital status. "T'Pring was my arranged wife, However the marriage was never consummated therefore not a full marriage. I went to Vulcan to fulfil that part of it but she rejected me, so I returned to the mate I wanted." Saya blinked a few times as she tried to process the information. Spock felt the question rise in her 'what was last a few hours ago about?' And answered before she could ask it.

"Vulcans go through what is called Pon Farr every 7 years. We become unbalanced and incapable of controlling our emotions. Our instincts drive us to mate or we die. It can be alleviated through combat or meditation if the mind is strong enough, however mating is most successful. When a Vulcan chooses a mate for Pon Farr they do a mating bond that causes their chosen to experience the symptoms as well. I did that to you."

Spock felt her uncertainty and residual guilt as she continued to verify mentally that she did not sleep with someone else's husband. He pulled her close and assured her again that she did not. Saya rested her head against his chest and quietly asked "What now?" She wondered if this was a one time thing or permanent or if Spock really wanted her and wondered why if he had an arranged wife that he was determined to get to he had proposed to her. She also was vaguely surprised at how comfortable being close to him was.

Spock was aware that he was registering her thoughts as they tumbled over themselves trying to be recognized. "My proposal stands. I attempted to restrain myself but your proximity and my desire for you overwhelmed my self control and I acted. I attempted to honor my father's arrangement but when it was no longer satisfactory to T'Pring I was free to choose you, the mate I wanted." Spock said trying to answer her unasked questions.

"So how does Vulcan marriage work?" Saya asked. Spock explained that it was 2 part in many ways. The ceremony and the mating. Though it often happened in that order, it was not always. Saya looked down and thought for a bit before realizing that she was starting to get mental answered to things she hadn't asked yet and couldn't know. She looked at Spock puzzled.

"I am unsure of the parameters or the cause but it seems that our mind's have become linked in some way." He answered for her.

With a raised eyebrow she left that question for later, instead asking "the ceremony?" Spock said if she wished he would arrange it and gave an unusually human like smile at her positive response. Saya paused and grinned before asking how mating worked for Vulcans in this situation. Spock explained that by Vulcan standards they were mostly married and the Ceremony was merely the legal binding. Saya began contemplating going at it again but Spock interrupted those thoughts to remind her that they needed to eat.

Saya and Spock got up, cleaned and dressed. Spock noticed the starting of bruising across Saya's back and a few other spots as he watched her dress. When Saya started fighting with her mess of hair took the brush and helped. Once they were both ready they headed towards the mess hall. Spock paused at Sickbay and requested a hypo from one of the medical staff and they continued. At Saya's silent inquiry he mentally told her that it was to keep him from getting her pregnant.

Saya was about to turn around when he told her "only one of us needs it." Smiling she thanked him and they got dinner. As they sat Spock saw the mark on Saya's neck as well. They ate quietly for a few minutes then Saya's head shot up and he heard her think loudly 'Kirk' then she tilted her head and added a slightly less sure 'McCoy?' Both men entered the mess hall and made a beeline for the pair.

"I see you are feeling better ." Kirk commented.

"I am, Captain, thank you." Spock answered and Saya wondered how much they knew of what went on. Spock let her know they were aware of the requirements of Pon Farr. Saya blushed and looked at her food.

"Well one of you will need to drop by sickbay every month. Wouldn't want a surprise now would we." McCoy said with a playful grin. Spock matter of factly indicated that he already had and McCoy looked slightly surprised. "You can't tell me this is not a dinner date this time ." McCoy said and Spock simply told him it wasn't.

Kirk asked about a ceremony and Spock informed him that they wanted to have Kirk marry them with few close friends present. Kirk asked if Saya wished it as well and she quickly looked up and nodded. " and I have discussed it." Spock answered. It was the truth because as soon as Kirk mentioned it they pretty much had the entire conversation in their heads.

"Well Bones, I think you and I should occupy ourselves elsewhere. A certain first officer of mine has a wedding to plan then a rather lengthy honeymoon to enjoy." Kirk said teasing.

Saya didn't need to look at Spock this time to find out if it was ok before she spoke. "Can we have the wedding some time today or tomorrow if you are free Sir?" Saya asked. Kirk raised an eyebrow and agreed. Spock told her mentally that he would arrange those she wanted present and that there lists were mostly the same. Saya nodded and they finished eating.

They returned to Saya's room to clean up the things that had gotten knocked over and shortly there was a knock on the door. Kirk was there with a dress uniform for Saya. Saya grinned and Kirk informed her that he could have everything ready in the hour since it was to be a simple thing. Saya went with Spock to his room, carrying her uniform and watched him get his out.

"your mind is like your room. Very neat and tidy." Saya commented. She watched as Spock got changed enjoying the sight then she got changed herself. Pulling her hair up in a pony tail neatly she asked "Will my colorful hair become a problem?"

"It would be illogical for me to require you to change. I choose you as you are, that includes dyed hair. though it will prove it's own challenges, they will often be simple to overcome." He told her.

Saya leaned against him and he put his arms around her, resting his chin on her head. 'You know I thought for sure this would never happen.' She thought and at his 'i know' she asked 'You knew I liked you for some time, didn't you?'

"Yes, and I have desired you. I attempted to do as my father arranged but I was pleased when T'Pring rejected me. I have spent a great deal of time over the last year reminding myself not to let you close, yet wanting you to be." He told her before kissing her tenderly.

It was soon time for them to go to the chapel and they walked, side by side, as they had so many times before. As they entered the room Saya smiled at Uhura who gave her a hug, Scotty who just grinned at her, and McCoy who gave her a fatherly hug as well. She saw Riley and looked at Spock puzzled. 'He was aware as were the others of our mutual interest and attempted to goad me into action.' Saya finally understood his strange behavior.

"Finally, I was worried for a bit there you know." Riley told her before giving her a pat on the back. They stood before Kirk who performed the ceremony and with the biggest grin she had ever seen him have, finished with "It is my greatest pleasure to pronounce you husband and wife."

They dispersed with a few well wishes and a stern reminder from Kirk that Spock and Saya were not to be back on the bridge for anything short of an emergency for at least a week. They returned to Spock's room and Saya wondered aloud what would be done about their rooming situation. "It will remain the same unless the Captain wishes to change it. However I would encourage you to sleep in my quarters at night." He informed her.

They both changed out of their dress uniform and Saya hung hers in Spock's closet for the time being. at a shared look they again met on the bed. After another amorous, but less primal, round of sex, they fell asleep for the night in each other's arms. Spock for once did not check the next room for her mind being asleep.
