The Desert Saga
Epilogue
The S'chin T'gai Spock and Nyota family thrived. As could be expected their three children were brilliant, in fact they were prodigies. The school for such multi species offspring was filled to the brim. The satellite school was located at The Settlement whose population had grown from the initial one hundred Survivors to now more than twelve hundred Vulcan.
After the appearance of the group calling themselves 'Vulcan Breathing Freedom' there was an onrush of Vulcans from every part of the galaxy. Most of them had talents that would prove useful, others required training. 'The Saviors' were in constant attendance at the Embassy to the extent that they secure rooms for their families so that they might share meals and have some semblance of family life. Amazingly, this association seemed to buoy Sarek immensely.
Eventually, as a certified Survivor himself, against all protest of the High Counsel of New Vulcan, he secure a human bondmate. Having to adjust to a Vulcan mate with the degree of silence and non-laughter certainly did not appeal to the son of T'Pau. Once he had set his heart and mind on his choice he went to New Vulcan to introduce her to his mother and stand before the High Counsel. There were the ramblings of members who sprouted the needs of the many edict that demanded that he as the son of the prime representative of Vulcan, T'Pau, should set the example by marrying a Vulcan.
Sarek's answer was simple, he would abdicate his position, return to Terran and live out his days there. Of course, this was too great of a price for New Vulcan to pay, so they acquiesced.
T'Pau who was witness to the true nature of Sarek's bond with Amanda, sided with her son and even performed the bonding between him and his new wife, a Janice Livingston, a professor at Harvard University who had submitted her profile when the information had been released by the news media about the need for the Survivors to secure wives. Sarek had seen her letter and had taken it from the pile for his future reference. It appeared that Sarek had a preference for educators. She was much taller than His Amanda, was blond with blue eyes that twinkled. Nyota and her became instant friends and Spock approved of his father's distancing himself from his lonely existence.
As would have to be expected, Kov and NyTu did marry, and had three children. He worked as the dean at the multi-species educational facility his mother had established. When his mother resigned her position and joined with his father to settle on New Vulcan, the school board voted to have him take over her job.
It was time for Spock to began training as the New Vulcan Ambassador and for her to learn about her future place as first lady. Sarek had decided that instead of having his son receive this responsibility upon his death he would train Spock while he was still alive and well and ease out gracefully to enjoy his remaining days with his bondmate. Amazingly, T'Pau was still alive and she approved. It was almost as if she was waiting to see the change of the guard with Spock taking up the robes of office and the headship of the Schn T'gai clan.
Xon married his sister's best friend who like him was Vulcan/Human. He was not one for surprises, nor adjustments. The two of them fit one another like well worn and loved shoes. Before marriage he had graduated from Star Fleet, served on one five year mission, returned to Terra and eventually became head of the Xenolinquestic Department at Star Fleet Academy. He loved the music of language and while he was ambitious, he did not desire the become Chancellor of the Academy for like his father and mother, his passion was language.
As prophesized by her brother, Spock and Nyota's daughter, T'Ama, married Lo'vaak and Christine's son,Si'len. Sirin and Rachel's sons could not marry their blood cousins or the ones they considered as cousins. One did marry one of Nyota's cousins and the other also married a half-Vulcan like himself. She had lived at The Settlement with her parents. He had become acquainted with her when he was being taught by Skoon, the wood carver. They all continued to live in close proximity to one another; their children growing up attached to one another.
Although at that point all was peaceful, the galaxy was without disturbance, that was how most fairy tales start out. More than likely, somewhere in the future the idyllic situation was bound to change and the descendants of 'The Star Fleet Heros' and those close to them will be called upon to draw on their parent's experiences and mirror their bravery to save their own world.
