Chapter 2

Sarek had recieved and responded to his wife's message early that morning, due to having finished most of the negotiations, he knew he could keep the promise of getting home soon. His wife knew the importance of his work, and while she was frustrated he was not there for their son, he would be later and that was good enough for them both. It took two hours after the message to finish negotiations and have everyone happy. He left as soon as was fitting and it took a few more hours to get back to the planet Vulcan.

Upon his arrival, he immediatly placed all the things he had taken away then set to finding his wife, it took only a little while for him to find her curled up with their son. Amanda was awake again and had been for a good hour, but Spock was still resting, the moment she saw Sarek she smiled softly and pressed a finger to her lips, but signalled him over at the same time.

Sarek obliged his wife and moved silently across the room to her "He was fussy the first few days, but he's been less fussy recently and ge slept a lot today, he's been asking for you" she informed, tone quiet enough for him to hear, and quiet enough not to wake Spock. Sarek bowed his head in understanding, a hand resting on their son's back carefully.

"Sleep will be helpful to him, him being fussy is not strange. You have done very well, my wife. He is content" was the quiet answer he gave, and she frowned, she was grateful, he could see that, but irritated "Speak freely" he requested. She took in a breath, calming enough not to snap "I might have done well but he still wanted you" she stated, her tone quiet but firm "I will make it up to him, adun'a" he promised. She smiled and held up her hand, allowing him a Vulcan kiss, pausing when Spock shuffled, as if he knew his father was home, her gaze dropped to him and a little amused smile found his lips, his little brown orbs soon settled on his fatther and he was up in an instant, standing up unsteadily, but stabled by his mother on the bed, he wrap;ped his arms around his fathers neck and snuggled into him.

Sarek lifted him with ease and sat down with him, quietly, but Spock was also quiet and rather content just so be sitting with the man, his calm easily rubbing off on him. It wsas seconds before he was relaxed against him and sleeping again which caused a little amusement to rest in Sarek's eyes, he moved the boy gently and put him down then ushered out Amanda so he could rest without them there. He would have to make up not being around when his son was not so sleepy.
