"I got something for you."

Jamie blinked her eyes open and mumbled, "Huh?" This was the most comfortable she'd ever been in her life; laying across his chest, listening to his heart beating.

Bones chuckled, "Wow, I made the Jamie T. Kirk speechless? l said that I got something for you."

Jamie shifted so that she could look at him, "I thought we said no gifts?"

He tucked her hair behind her ear and nodded, "We did. It's not really a gift gift. It's something Pike and I were working on for your birthday but we had to work out the logistics. Trust me, you'll thank us." Jamie thought about it, what would Bones and Pike think was worth working together to do for her.

"Ok," there wasn't any point in arguing with him over something that was already a done deal. She knew that he was expecting a fight but she just didn't have it in her to argue about whatever this something was, especially if it took them over a month to work it out.

"You aren't going to argue with me? Maybe I should deliver news to you like this all the time," Bones tightened his hold on her.

She smirked, "You mean, naked and in bed after mind-numbing sex? I don't think I would complain if you did."

Bones laughed, "Go to sleep, darlin'."

Jamie woke up on her back with Bones' hands caressing her body, "I thought we had somewhere to be."

He kissed her neck, "We have time." Jamie was going to argue but the words never made it past her lips. Those hands of his should be illegal. After a very nice shower together, Jamie found herself sitting with Bones in the campus courtyard.

"What are we doing here?" She couldn't help herself, Bones wouldn't tell her anything the whole way there.

He smiled, "Well, darlin', we're here to see him." Jamie followed his gaze to two men walking in their direction. She easily identified one of the men as Pike and it took her less than a second to place the other face, he looked the same as the last time she saw him, just older.

"How did you...?" she didn't have the words. Jamie couldn't help the tears that came to her eyes. She jumped up and practically run to the two men, slamming into the younger one. "Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. I should kick your ass. Would if I didn't love you so damn much." Jamie held him tight as he chuckled.

"I might have to let you. I owe you one, Jimmy," the tall blonde man told her.

She pulled back just enough to look at him, "God, you look like dad."

He smiled the 'Kirk smile' at her, "I'm not the only one, short stack." Sam was here. How the hell did they get Sam here? She rolled her eyes.

"I'm not short, at least, not anymore," Jamie retorted. It felt like they just saw each other a few days ago, as opposed to being apart for the last thirteen years. "What the hell are you doing here? How?" she asked her big brother.

Sam nodded towards Bones, "Thank your boyfriend. I've been looking for you for years. I saw you on the news last month, fleet was making a big deal outta you joining up. I tried to talk to you, but Starfleet thought I was a reporter and wouldn't let me. Then a couple weeks ago, I got a comm from a doctor, looking for me." Jamie looked at Bones.

The southerner chuckled, "I might have used some of my authority as your doctor and a favor from Captain Pike to get his information." Pike stood there like it was the most normal thing in the world.

"McCoy, I think we should let them get reacquainted," Pike said.

Bones nodded, "Yes, sir." He shook hands with Sam before giving Jamie a quick kiss, "I'll see you later, darlin'. Nice to finally meet you, George. Maybe one day you can tell me why she calls you Sam."

Jamie chuckled, "Same reason I call you 'Bones' and you both call me 'Jim'… because we can." Pike laughed and put a hand on her shoulder before he and Bones left them alone.

"He's a nice guy. He's so in love with you that it's written on his face," Sam said as he watched the pair of men walk away.

Jamie smiled as she nodded, "Well that's good since I'm in love with him, too." They decided to take a walk around campus. "So, what ya been up to since you left me with Frank?" she asked her brother.

"Well, I guess I should apologize, I really am sorry about that, Jimmy."

She shook her head, "I was kidding, it wasn't that bad. At least, not until he got hurt at work but we can save that for later. Tell me what you've been doing."

"Well, let's see. I'm a research biologist. I'm married and I have a son named Peter, he'll be four in April. Right now, we live on Ganjitsu but that might change soon."

Jamie looked at him, "Not surprised, I told you that you were smart." Growing up, Sam taught her so much stuff it was ridiculous. He always said that she was the smart one and she always reminded him that he taught her, so, he was actually the smart one. "What's your wife's name? What's your family like?"

"Aurelan," he said with a smile. "She's smart and beautiful and the love of my life. I have no idea why she puts up with me. She would've come but she's pregnant with our second and her doctor said no traveling. Peter is a lot like you were as a kid, brilliant and rambunctious. I guess that's what I get for naming him after you. His middle name is James." She laughed as he described some of the stuff that her nephew got up to.

"He's only three? You have your work cut out for you." They talked more before he asked about Frank and Tarsus. Sam knew that's where their aunt and uncle lived and he told her that after their mother died he went back to Riverside to look for her. One of his teachers told him that Jamie moved to live with family off planet. When the reports came down about the massacre, he tried to find her but Starfleet couldn't –or wouldn't- tell him anything. He saw holos of the kids and knew she was J.T. but there was no information on her. It wasn't until her last birthday when he knew where she was.

They talked about anything they could think of until they were interrupted by someone calling his name, "Hey, George!"

They both turned around and Sam smiled, "Hey, Hikaru." They did the 'guy hug' thing before Jamie spoke.

"You guys know each other?" she asked. Both men nodded and Sam answered her question.

"His family lives down the street from me. Small universe."

Sulu looked at her, "I've known George for years, don't know why I never mentioned it to you. We have classes together all the time." Hikaru Sulu was a command track cadet whose focus was on helm control. He joined Starfleet before her but she caught up to him in class.

Jamie laughed, "Who knows? We've been busy."

"We'll go with that. I gotta run, I just wanted to say hi to George. Later, Kirk," Sulu said with a chuckle. With that, the pilot ran in the direction he came from. Sam explained about Sulu's mom being a bio-engineer who worked in the same research facility as he did.

Eventually, Sam had to go. Pike had pulled some strings so that he could ride on a ship heading in his direction, which meant only getting to spend the day with Jamie. She didn't ask why, if it was the other way around, she would've done the same. "You gotta come visit. Bring Leonard with you," he told her.

She nodded before pulling him into a hug, "Don't disappear on me again. I love you."

He held her tighter, "I wouldn't dare. I love you too." Sam got on the shuttle with a group of officers and Jamie watched as they took off.

"Thank you," was out of her mouth the second she walked into her apartment.

Bones looked up from his PADD and smiled, "Told you that you would thank me. You are very welcome."

She sat down next to him, "Why'd you do it?"

"I know that if it were my sister, you would do the same thing. And I love you."
