"Do you know who she is?" Jamie looked at her husband as they sat in their living room with Trip, Pike, Archer and Harrison. She'd been home the past few weeks but they kept her updated on the woman that Sulu took down at the hospital.
"She's one of Marcus' old agents, Carrie Stevenson. She wasn't the only one involved, someone that I haven't identified yet attacked Carol and Chapel at the nurse's apartment. They're okay, unfortunately for their attacker, they fought back and he was stabbed with the hypo he had and it killed him. According to Trip's contacts, the attacks on you and Carol are both unsanctioned hits. I found out that Stevenson was hoping to move up in Section 31 or impress the bosses by getting rid of the people she deemed responsible for Marcus' defeat. In reality, all she did was piss everybody off by attacking you and your family while you were going into labor," Harrison told them. Bones looked the agent and Jamie knew what he was gonna ask.
"We're as safe today as we were yesterday. I dare someone to come after us. I really do. When it was just me, I didn't give a shit but come near my family and I will kill someone," she said. Jamie looked at Harrison, "Is that it or are they gonna keep coming?"
He shook his head, "It's been passed down the wire that you and your family is off limits. And that anyone who tried to harm you would have to deal with the woman who saved Earth. I may have let it slip that Nero and his crew weren't your first kills. Just in case. Starfleet Intelligence is taking over some of the projects that Marcus had in the works and I'll be overseeing them, I will also personally be keeping an eye on any threats to your lives."
Jamie nodded, "Sounds good, Harrison. Thank you."
He smiled, "No need to thank me. I'm just glad I could be helpful."
Jamie looked at Trip, "What about you?"
He smiled, "I'm gonna get back out there and keep saving the galaxy as a free agent for the new Chief of Staff." Jamie chuckled. There were two kinds of agent, those like Marcus and this Stevenson chick who didn't care who was killed in the process of completing the objective. Then there were those like Trip and Harrison who didn't believe the unnecessary loss of life. They weren't gonna destroy the Section 31 yet, it would do too much damage to the Federation but they still had that card to play. Redux was done though, Trip and Harrison got rid of them.
"We have a new Chief of Staff?" Bones asked Archer. As the Commander in Chief of Starfleet, the most senior officer in the fleet who only takes orders from the Federation Council, he would know. Archer nodded, "I needed a new Commanding Officer, Starfleet Command and a Chief of Staff of the Federation Starfleet. Barnett is the new Commander, Starfleet and Pike is the new Chief of Staff. Reed wanted to stay in charge of Starfleet Intelligence."In other words, Barnett was in charge of the people and Pike was in charge of the the different branches of the fleet.
Jamie looked at him, "I'm friends with the third highest officer in the fleet? Sweet. I bet some people are pissed off."
Pike chuckled, "A few who wanted to be in charge aren't happy. I would've turned it down but that kind of thing was how Marcus ended up in command to begin with, too many good officers wanting to stay in the action and letting the power seekers rise in the ranks." Man, that was the truth. Jamie knew that Archer had to call in all kinds of pull to get Barnett and Pike as the number two and three officers in the fleet but Jamie thought they would all be better for it. There were too many politics going on at the top and it had to change, Archer had been fighting for what was best for the fleet, even when the people who should've backed him up didn't. He had that backup now; Archer, Barnett and Pike would make a good commanding, first and second officers of Starfleet.
Before anyone could say anything, baby David made his presence known. "I got him," Bones told her before leaving the room.
Archer laughed, "I almost forgot that the baby was here, he's quiet like you were."
She looked at him, "You knew me as a baby?"
He nodded, "Not a lot. All that 'Kelvin Baby' stuff was going on. I got to hold you once, I'll send you the holo. You were quiet, I think even then you were aware of the world around you and you took everything in." Jamie smiled, it was rare to hear stories about herself when she was little from someone other than Sam. Bones walked in with the baby in his arms, smiling at him. Jamie was a sucker for Bones with the baby, seeing her husband so wrapped up in their son was the hottest thing she's ever seen and it made her heart melt.
"That kid is gonna be a heartbreaker," Pike told the room.
Bones chuckled, "What do ya think, little guy, is Grandpa Chris right? Are you gonna run around breaking little girl's hearts?" Jamie chuckled, she holds the honor of making The Admiral Christopher Pike speechless with two words. She referred to him as Grandpa Chris before she was released from the hospital and the look on his face was priceless. "I… kid… really?" She smiled, "You're practically my dad. So, yes, you're Grandpa Chris and no, you can't talk me out if it." Pike reached for the little boy and Bones placed him in the older man's arms.
"And, we lost Pike," Trip joked but it was true, David had the Admiral's full attention. Jamie, Bones, Archer and Harrison all laughed as they watched Pike talk to the baby, ignoring the rest of them. Jamie hopped up, grabbed the holo-imager and took a holo while he wasn't paying attention.
Archer laughed, "And he didn't even notice." They all talked some more but eventually the guys had to get back to work. Jamie drifted off to sleep on the couch next to her husband, who was holding their son.
When she woke up, she was alone, "Bones?"
He walked into the room, "Yea, darlin'?" She looked around and he smiled, "He's asleep. You'll have to feed him soon, I would but…"
She chuckled, "You don't have boobs. You just like 'em." She rolled her eyes at the smirk on his face.
"Well, yea. Yours anyway,"he told her.
She gave him a look, "I look like hell, I'm exhausted and you're flirting with me?"
He smiled, "Yep. I think you're beautiful, even when you're exhausted, darlin'."
She chuckled, "I think you're crazier than me sometimes but I love you."
He gave her a kiss, "I love you too, Jim."
"So, do you wanna know what our daughter asked me the other day?"
He sat down next to her, "Sure."
Jamie smiled, "She wants to learn how to fight so that she can protect her brother."
"She's too young," he told her.
Jamie took a breath, "I wasn't, neither was Gaila or Hiri."
He looked at her, "That's different, Jim. You guys learned when you were kids out of necessity."
Hikaru told her his story about when he was a kid on Ganjitsu. In 2248 when his family lived in Ishikawa, a Klingon named The Albino attacked the colony. Sulu was only eleven years old but he managed to stop the attack, saving his parents and the colony. Unfortunately, it resulted in the death of one of Sulu's close friends. He still feels guilty about it. Gaila learned to fight in the slave trade, she didn't really have a choice in the matter.
"Bones, she's not going to be eleven her whole life. And as much as it pains me to say it, she's the daughter of two Federation heroes. At the very least, she needs to be able to break out of holds and run. I'll teach her. Nothing crazy, just defense and evasion."
Bones looked at her, "You'll teach her?" Jamie nodded. "None of that fancy stuff you and Sulu do?"
She shook her head. "Okay."
