"Look at you, stuffin' your face," Bones said before he kissed the top of her head. Jamie chuckled but kept eating. "I'm guessing that you had something to do with this Sulu."
The helmsman shrugged, "My big sister wanted Japanese food. I just happen to be a decent cook. And I don't mind making seven a.m. house calls." Sulu went back to eating as Bones chuckled and looked at Jamie.
"You got us all wrapped around your finger, don't you?" her husband asked.
Jamie smiled, "Yep." He shook his head and moved to make some coffee; Jamie had stopped drinking it so she refused to make him any.
"Morning, mama, daddy, Uncle Hiri," Jo said as she walked into the room. The girl moved to sit next to Jamie, "Good morning in there." Jo had taken to talking to the baby and because they were all in San Fran, she was living with them. Jamie ran her fingers through their daughter's hair.
"Morning, beautiful girl. How's my favorite person?" Jamie asked.
Jo smiled, "Hungry, can I have some?" Jamie nodded and Bones handed her a fork.
"Great, now they're both eating Japanese for breakfast," he muttered.
Sulu laughed, "You do realize that I'm Japanese and I grew up eating this, right?"
Her husband nodded, "I know that. I just can't make most of it so if she wakes me up at three in the morning, I'm comm'ing you."
Jamie rolled her eyes, "That only happened once and all you had to do was cut me a slice of Mama Ella's apple pie and you ate half of it." Jo and Sulu laughed.
"She's got ya there, daddy," the young Miss McCoy told him.
He looked at his daughter, "You're supposed to be on my side."
She shook her head, "I'm on the baby's side." Jamie started laughing but stopped, they all looked at her.
"You alright, Jamie?" She looked at Sulu and took a deep breath. Her whole body felt like it was in a vice.
"They're just Braxton Hicks," she muttered.
Bones had his hands on her stomach, "They're? Since when? And how often?" She took another breath as Joanna handed Bones his tricorder.
"Since last night. And every seven or eight minutes, I think," she told him.
Her husband scanned her and then smiled, "False labor doesn't last that long. These aren't Braxton Hicks contractions, Jim, they're the real thing. I need you to stay calm. Me and Jo are gonna put on some clothes and then we're gonna go to the hospital."
"I'll drive," Sulu told her.
Jamie nodded and took another breath, "I'm early."
Bones smiled, "Not by much, 38 weeks and 3 days is perfectly safe, darlin'. Sulu will stay here while I switch outta my pajamas." He gave her a kiss before he ran to get changed. Jamie felt the tears well up.
"I don't think I'm ready, Hiri," she whispered.
Her friend smiled, "You are. And if you're not, you got the rest of us to help. Don't worry, Jamie, this baby has one hell of a family." She just looked at him. He knelt in front of her and touched her stomach, "I promise, as long as I'm breathing, your child will never be alone and he'll always be safe."
She smiled at her friend, "Thanks, Hiri."
He chuckled, "Anytime."
Bones and Jo got dressed and they all drove to Starfleet medical. Bones got her checked in and –thanks to being a doctor assigned to the hospital- into a room in no time flat. One of the nurses helped Bones get her settled before a woman that she didn't recognize walked in. "Hello, Miss Kirk."
Jamie, Bones and Sulu looked at the 'doctor' standing in front of them, Joanna was the first to speak, "Who are you?"
The woman looked at her, "Well aren't you cute. I'm Miss Kirk's doctor."
Jo crossed her arms, "No you're not. Daddy is mama's doctor and when he's not, Doctor Phlox is." A look crossed the woman's face before she lunged, Sulu was faster and he got to her before she got to Jamie or Jo.
"Seriously? I mean seriously?" Jamie asked. Sulu handed Bones the hypo in the woman's pocket, Jamie didn't want to know what was in it.
"Jim, just breathe," Bones told her.
"Someone just attacked me, in the damn hospital... don't tell me... to breathe." The hospital sent security to grab the woman and Harrison took custody of her when he and Trip showed up.
"I don't want to be her, whoever she is. Harrison has a rule about babies and children," her friend muttered. Jamie chuckled at Trip but she still didn't feel good about any of this. Phlox had checked on her and stepped out for a moment. Trip looked at her, "J.T., look at me." She did and he smiled, "Your guys, Hendorff and Josephs, are guarding this room, Zahra and Kai are going to switch with them in a few hours. Spock, Scotty, Chekov and your brother are on the way from Riverside and Uhura and Gaila will be in a few minutes. Sulu hasn't left the room since you got here. Relax. We won't let anything happen to you or the baby. I promise." She nodded and took a breath, she can do this. Ny and Gaila kicked Trip and Sulu out when they got there. "Come on, kid. I'll buy you a smoothie," Trip said to Joanna. She smiled and held his hand.
"Uncle Hiri, too? We were eating breakfast before this happened," Jo asked. Jamie, Ny and Gaila chuckled at her.
"That's my girl," Jamie muttered.
The next eight hours passed by in a blur but when that moment came, it was like nothing in the whole world. "Alright, Jamie. I need you to push." Jamie did what Phlox told her to do, Bones was right next to her. She felt a ton of pressure and some pain, then it was gone. She didn't know what they were all doing down there, she didn't care, she just wanted to see her baby. "Well hello, little one," she heard Phlox say right before her son started to cry.
Jamie registered Ny's voice, "Oh guys… he's gorgeous." Gaila was still holding one of her hands, the Orion was giddy.
Her friend looked at her, "Nice work, mama."
Bones pressed a kiss to her head, "I love you, darlin'."
She smiled, "I love you too. Is he okay?" Gaila and Bones released her hands just as Phlox put the baby in her arms.
"He's perfect," the Denobulan told her. She looked at the little boy, Phlox was right, he was perfect. After being fussed over, checked over and feeding her son, they finally let her rest. She drifted off as her husband and daughter fussed over the baby.
"He looks like you, daddy," she heard Joanna say. Jamie smiled, it was true that kid was all Bones and the only thing that was even remotely Kirk was the eyes, but they could change as he got older. There was a knock on the door to her hospital room, it could be a dozen people but Jamie knew who it was.
"Come in, guys," she said. Sam, Trip, Spock, Chris, Scotty, Pasha, Hiri, Ny and Gaila walked in with Pete and Alex.
Her brother walked straight to her and kissed her on the head, "Hey, Jimmy. How you feeling?"
She looked at him, "Like I just had a baby."
He chuckled, "That bad and that good all at once, huh? Aury said it was the most painful and joyous experience she'd ever had." Jamie chuckled, that was about right. Her whole body felt like it was run over by a hoverbus but she'd so do it again in a heartbeat, not today though.
Bones was sitting in a chair with the baby in his arms, Joanna was standing next to him while Peter had climbed up on the bed to hug Jamie. "Be careful with your aunt, kiddo," Sam warned.
Peter just nodded at his dad. Chekov helped him up. Jamie smiled, "Hey buddy, what's up?"
He looked at her, "I just wanted a hug, Aunt Jimmy."
She smiled and wrapped her arm around him, "No arguments from me." Gaila ran her hand through Jamie's hair, "I know, I look like hell."
Trip chuckled, "Actually, you look beautiful. You got a mama glow going on." She rolled her eyes and looked at Gaila, the Orion nodded, she understood what Jamie was thinking.
"So, what's the little laddie's name?" Scotty asked them.
Jamie smiled, "David George Charles McCoy." Joanna smiled, "After grandpa, grandpa and Uncle Trip?" Bones chuckled, "Sorta. David is after dad and Charles is after Trip but George is actually after your Uncle Sam."
Her brother looked at her, "You gave him my name?"
She nodded, "Don't look so surprised." He looked down at the little bundle in Bones' arms.
"Hey Georgie, welcome to the family, little man," her brother whispered.
Jamie chuckled, "No, we are not calling him Georgie, Sam. Try something else." He ignored her to make faces at the baby as their family looked on.
