McCoy and Spoke were worried. After their vacation, for a while everything seemed to be good. Then the captain started having trouble with his vision and his stats were declining once again.

That morning, despite his problems, Kirk opted to have breakfast with his crew before going to the bridge since Spock was busy in the lab and McCoy had worked the entire night.

Scotty was the one bringing him the tray with the food. Kirk was next to Sulu while Scotty and Uhura were in front of them, the topic of the day some new seeds Hikaru bought on Risa.

"I just hope these won't bite as your Betty, Hikaru," said the captain laughing, patting the helmsman on the shoulder.

"Captain, be careful," he said worriedly, trying to catch the man's forearm sensing he was losing the balance. He didn't expect to see the captain's face drained from all the colour, his eyes rolling back. Instantly he rose from his seat trying to break the fall.

"Shit! Scotty help!" He was afraid to injure his commander.

The two of them gently lay him on the floor after moving the chairs, when he started convulsing. They were lost, all the training McCoy gave them forgot.

Uhura was the one stepping in: "Move him on his side before he chokes! Uhura to medbay! Emergency in mess hall four! It's the Captain!"

They pinned him on the floor, waiting for help. The other member of the crew made a crowd around them, all worried.

The woman checked her chrono (because the doctor instructed them to time the convulsions): 28 seconds. Good. She caressed his head, comforting him. Sadly, another seizure started.

"Damn! Where is medical!"

Scotty said from his position on the legs. The only sound in the room was Jim.

"Nonononono! Nyota, his nose is bleeding!"

Yelled an alarmed Sulu from his preferential point of view, being the one holding his shoulders.

"What we do now."

"We can only keep him steady Sulu." Said the woman sadly.

"McCoy to Kirk." came from the communicator.

"Jim what's wrong!"?

"Thank God Len!" Replied Uhura.

"We are in mess hall 4, Kirk is seizing! And he is bleeding from his nose!"

They could hear the doctor was retrieving something and exiting his room.

"How long Nyota?"

"We called medbay already, he got one for 28 seconds but he started again, come fast please. What can we do?"

"Just keep him from further injuries, I'm on the way. McCoy out."

The woosh of the door alerted them help arrived. M'Benga, Chapel and two orderlies with a stretcher entered. The Afro-American doctor checked the sick man with the tricorder.

"Nurse, 4 CC of Keppra."

He took the hypospray and injected it. The seizure didn't stop.

"How long has he been seizing Lieutenant?"

"This one is at the three minutes mark doctor." Uhura replied.

In that moment McCoy marched in. "Geoffrey stats." He demanded.

"Three minutes seizure, I gave him 4 CC of Keppra but it didn't work. Stats are all over the lines."

McCoy took his place next to Kirk, giving another read-out.

"Why aren't you moving him!" Yelled Scotty.

"We can't move him till the seizure has stopped. Now, let us work."

Another minute passed. Nobody noticed the Vulcan had entered the room, going next to Uhura to whisper to her:

"What is happening Nyota?" With a concerned look.

"We were just talking and he started convulsing. Several times. They gave him a medication that didn't work."

And they waited. The worried husband didn't want to interrupt the medical.

"FUCK! Christine give me 5 CC of Carbamazepine NOW!"

The attack finally subsided.

One last check with his tricorder, and the doctor's eyes went wide.

"SHIT! McCoy to medbay, prepare OR 1 ASAP! You," addressing to the orderlies, "take him. Let's go fast!"

He faced for a moment the Vulcan, sad face.

"I'm sorry Spock, his brain is bleeding. We need to stop it now." And left following the stretcher, one hand around Kirk's wrist.

They were all shocked. Nobody dared to move or say something.

STSTSTSTSTTSSTSTSTTSTS

Duty long forgotten, the Vulcan was sitting and waiting for any news on his husband, hands on his knees. Uhura was next to him, worried. A bleed in the brain was no joke.

The woosh of the automatic door made the pair rise from the chairs.

A dishevelled McCoy exited, still wearing bloody scrubs, a sad look in his face.

"Oh please no", whispered Nyota, covering her mouth with her hands. The Vulcan became a paler green, thinking for the worse. When the doctor saw their faces, he immediately rectified.

"Damn, sorry, didn't want to scare you. It was touch and go for a while, but Jim is ok, so are the kids. The bleeding in his brain was massive, so we don't know if there are any permanent damages till he wakes up."

"How long until he wakes up, doctor?" Asked the Vulcan.

"I don't know Spock, he is in a coma right now. The pre-eclampsia evolved in full eclampsia which include seizures, coma, visual impairment, nausea, headaches, more vomiting. We will have to watch closely for fetal distress, placental abruption or hemorragies. I'm not sure now that I can let Jim on the Bridge anymore. Nogura will have his head."

"I will take care of the Admiral, doctor, do not worry about that. Just take care of James, please. Can we see him now?" said the half-vulcan.

"Sure, go in. Talk to him. It will help."
