FIVE MONTHS BEFORE

Probably for the first time in his life Jim Kirk knew his life was perfect, with his captaincy, and his half Vulcan bond mate, who was currently pregnant with a seven months pointy eared girl. Of course, Jim had known Spock was able to reproduce and get pregnant as any other Vulcan male, it was something normal in their physiology to have both reproductive systems on every individual, that way the race could survive more easily, it was just that Jim thought that Spock was too busy with his carrier and wouldn't want to end it or slow it just to expand the family tree, but he had been wrong, once the Vulcan heard that Jim also wanted to have a baby they had spent two months planning and now they were almost ready to welcome the young T´Pol Amanda.

"T´hy´la, are you ready?" he heard Spock ask from the hall.

"Yep, just wait a second" He said as he ran towards his closet and got out a small box, he knew they would be late, but it would be worth it just to see the look in Spock´s face.

The captain walked out of his room to find his bond mate waiting for him dressed in his formal uniform, of course, it didn't hide his huge belly and the couple wasn't bothered about it, it was wonderful and Jim found the sight completely irresistible.

"We better get going; we wouldn't want Bones to come searching for us" Jim said gently hugging his mate.

"I believe it is the logical thing to do" Spock replied with a Vulcan smile in his eyes.

Together they walked down the corridors towards the mess hall, were they found the entire bridge crew and of course almost all of their friends including elder Selik, Sarek, Gaila and a very excited Amanda, who was more than happy to become grandmother.

Yes, it was their baby shower, a surprise party, carefully planned by Amanda and Uhura. Of course, they hadn't decorated the mess hall, that would be against regulations, but they had managed to reunite there all of the couple´s friends.

The entire crew was happy for their growing family and even Carol Marcus had gone to give them a stuffed sehlat, McCoy gave them a baby monitor, James thanked him, because it would be really useful during the next months, the doctor had been of great help during the entire pregnancy and James was grateful for his friend´s efforts.

He was going to accompany Selik to his cabin when he saw Spock seat down, he looked pale and shivering so Jim excused himself and ran to his mate´s side.

"Sweetheart, are you okay?" he asked taking the Vulcans hand

"James I…"

James felt a strange dizziness and saw sparkles flying all around, and suddenly they were no longer on the Enterprise, the place was dark and cold, with a strange smell in the air, they were in some kind of cell and a pale alien woman was watching them…
