Jocelyn's lawyer offered Uhura a settlement she could live with.
Leonard settled 25,000 credits from Rebecca's trust on Jocelyn as his final alimony payment for all times.
Out of the 25,000 credits Jocelyn received, she paid Uhura 15,000 to drop the assault charge and to settle future civil claims. Uhura handed over the entire 15,000 credits to McCoy for Rebecca's trust. At the end of it all, Becca Jo's trust fund only took a 10,000 credit hit. Uhura, on the other hand, removed an ocean liner-sized anchor from Leonard McCoy's financial neck. With no alimony checks arriving, Jocelyn quickly married Colin McCoy, becoming Jocelyn McCoy-McCoy and confusing the hell out of her many acquaintances unfamiliar with American southerners' predilection for keeping marriages in the family.
Uhura requested that 10,000 credits, of the hotel's 15,000-credit settlement payment to her, be donated to Vulcan resettlement. Providing Sarek as a family reference ensured compliance by the management.
Uhura's remaining 5000 credits paid for Abby and Rebecca McCoy to join Leonard on Babel. Uhura stayed long enough to have a friendly lunch with the (former) McCoy family before departing by shuttle for the Enterprise. The ship would swing back to Babel in two weeks to pick up their Chief Medical Officer.
The day after Len's return to the Enterprise Uhura received two personal messages from Earth; the first an email, the second a vid:
"Ms. Uhura - I don't know how to thank you for getting Lenny out of the situation with that bitch."
Lenny?-?-?
McCoy anesthetized the last person who called him Lenny with a medically unnecessary hypospray. Clearly "Lenny" had it really bad for Abby.
"Jojo misses her daddy something fierce. I never told her why Lenny had to join Starfleet. How that man functions in space with aviaphobia boggles my mind.
"After meeting you and listening to Lenny talk about his friends on the Enterprise, I think I know now how Lenny's been making his support payments. I appreciate you all helping him. I'm glad to know he's got folk keeping him sober."
Uhura bit her lip after the sober sentence. Maybe alcohol had become too big a part of their entertainment. She made a note to discuss it with Kirk when he was sober.
"I don't have to tell you how much I still love him. When he finally comes home maybe he'll be that country doctor he claims he is. Hopefully he'll settle back here when he's done his time in Starfleet. Jojo and I could use a man around the house full time. Lenny and I have got a lot of rebuilding to do to make it work a second time but he's worth every minute of the effort. Thanks for moving another roadblock out of our way. With warmest regards, Abby McCoy"
Uhura sat thoughtfully at the comm unit in her quarters before viewing the second message.
"Hi Mrs. Spock -"
Uhura heard Leonard's mortified voice in the background trying to correct his daughter's perceptive greeting. Becca recorded this on Babel in the hotel suite.
"Thank you for helping me visit my daddy. He got to pull my tooth out! I miss my daddy a lot and so does Mommy. Daddy and Mommy had a sleepover in the apartment."
Uhura grinned at the 7 year olds' description of her parents' reconciliation.
"Daddy says you made our trip happen. Mommy said to thank you a lot. I like seeing Daddy better than I like DisneyUniverse. I hope you come visit us in Georgia. Daddy says you're a good cook. My mommy is a good cook, too. We can cook outside on the barbeque when you come to visit. My daddy says to say good bye so good bye!"
Uhura placed a trip to Georgia in the personal calendar. she kept with Spock.
