Spock was on the bridge, and in charge of the current shift. The night was calm and allowed him to think. The past few months had quickly passed on the ship, and he was grateful for Dr. M'Banga. Spock had seen the doctor on a weekly basis when he first arrived, but now was seeing him once a month. He was proud of how far he had come and how much easier it was for him to express his feelings. He had put in the work to get here and was forever grateful for the combination of hard work and the Vulcan gods that allowed him to serve on the Enterprise.

He had followed his sister's advice and reached for the person who seemed farthest from him and his life had been changed for the better. He was so proud of his omega and the wonderful Captain he was. Jim had guided the Enterprise through countless difficult situations that made the Kobayashi Maru look like a cake walk, as the human expression went. Only Spock had known of the sleepless nights where Jim had worried himself sick about what to do or had spent the night in tears as men and women had been lost in his command. The only thing Spock could do was hold him during those moments, and send comfort through their bond. A few months ago McCoy had been added to their relationship. While McCoy has not officially moved into their quarters or taken the next step for the marriage bond he was still a cherished member of their relationship. Spock had to admit that not only had he come to love McCoy more deeply than he had anticipated but the man had also helped ease his burden of worrying about Jim. The Alpha was constantly worried about his omega and McCoy was able to help reign him in when Spock was away or unable to be with him. McCoy also brought a balance to Spock's life that he hadn't realized he was missing; he allowed Spock to embrace his human side more fully and without shame. Yes, these two men brought out the best in him and he was fortunate to have found them.

Spock heard a throat clear behind him, and realized he had become so lost in thought he had not realized it was time to change shift and for Scotty to relieve him, perhaps his human spouse had rubbed off on him in more ways then he had realized. A faint dusting of green covered the man's face as his mind recalled that morning in bed when Jim had woken him up by literally rubbing off on him. "Thank you Mr. Scott, the bridge is now yours."

"Thank ye kindly sir! Enjoy the rest of your evening."

Spock made his way to his quarters, looking forward to an evening with both Jim and Leonard. It had become their habit over the past few months to eat at least one meal a day together, and to play chess several times a week in Jim and Spocks quarters. Every evening, before they went their separate ways, Spock would say to the Doctor, "You are welcome to join us." Both Spock and the doctor knew the statement had a deeper meaning. If the doctor said yes, he was saying yes to all of it: the relationship, the bond, the marriage, possible children in the future. If he said no then that would be it, no questions asked, no judgment passed, their relationship would remain as good friends and nothing more. Spock refused to influence the doctor, but he hoped as he had never hoped before that Leonard would say yes. The man deserved to be worshiped and adored, he hoped that Leonard would trust in Jim and Spock enough to say yes. Leonards response to the question every night had been, "Not tonight." His response had neither been a yes or a no simply undecided and unsure. As Spock reflected on what he had been told, both by Leonard and Jim, about the doctor's previous relationship with Jocelyn he understood Leonards reluctance to jump into another relationship too quickly. Spock could only hope the man did not try and talk himself out of what he needed and deserved. It pained him to see McCoy choosing to stand alone and isolated when he had two men who were so willing to show him love and support.

That evening found the three men quietly chatting after their dinner and game of chess (McCoy had chosen to watch instead of play). When the end of the evening came and the men were about to separate, Spock said, mostly out of habit now and not expecting a response, "You are welcome to join us." To both Jim and Spock's great surprise McCoy quietly answered, "Yes, please."

Jim, who had been heading to the bedroom, whipped quickly around and approached Leonard. "Are you sure Bones? We do not want to rush or force you."

Leonard looked at Jim with tears in his eyes as he responded, "I know I am not an easy person to get along with or live with but I am tired of being alone, of struggling alone. I love both of you with all my heart and I know you both love me. I need to stop fighting what I know is right, so yes. Yes to all of it - to living with the two of you, to marriage, to all of it.

Spock had approached Leonard from behind and said, "This pleases me greatly and I am sure it does Jim as well." Jim nodded his quick agreement with his husband's statement. "May I kiss you, Bones?" Jim asked as he caressed the doctor's face. Leonard shyly nodded and their kiss was soft and gentle. Afterwards, he leaned on Jim, and whispered, "I've loved you for a while now Jim - both you and Spock but I was so indecisive and didn't know how to act on my feelings. When you two got together, I couldn't resent it but I was also terribly sad, I figured I would have to be content with just friendship. I never dreamed this could or would be a possibility."

At the end of his statement, a few tears slid down his face and Kirk drew him into a tight hug. "Oh Bones, I've always loved you too, I just didn't realize it. It took me getting married to Spock to realize the love I bore for you as well."

Quietly, Spock added, "I have grown to love you as well, Lenoard. I appreciate your fire, your devotion and have come to quickly realize how much you helped me to embrace my emotions as well. I love you for all these things, despite my teasing you about them. May I kiss you as well?" Spock asked as he leaned in, rubbing Leonards back lovingly.

McCoy turned in the middle of the two men so he could face Spock and asked a question in response, "Can I hold you Spock?" These questions might appear odd to the outside observer but in the moment they were correct and needed. The three men were moving into uncharted territory and needed quiet reassurance from each other. Spock nodded his consent and through their bond his desire to be held by Leonard. Leonard closed the small gap between them, and held him while Spock initiated a human kiss. The kiss was gentle, warm and everything a first kiss in a new relationship ought to be. Spock and Mccoy had kissed before, but this was different, this kiss was the beginning of a whole new life for the two of them. After an undetermined amount of time, the two pulled apart and McCoy placed his head in the crook of Spock's neck and placed a gentle kiss there. "Take me to bed gentlemen, please," McCoy moaned, unsure if he was able to stand any longer.

The three slowly made it into their bedroom, and slowly undressed so all three men were in boxers and their black undershirts. Kirk climbed onto the bed first, followed by Leonard and Spock. While tenderly stroking his face, Spock asked, "Which configuration do you wish, Ashayam?"

Shyly, McCoy answered, "I would like to be in the middle of you two please, it seems like it is my place. I want to have as much physical contact as I can with the two of you…but please don't think I am trying to split up your bond or relationship, that is the last thing I would want to happen."

Spock placed his hands on Leonards face so he was forced to look at him while responding, "Ashayam, you could never, ever come between Jim and me - it will simply not happen. Even during my Pon Farr, my mind and body will seek you both out, you both have the love that I need. We are bonded and will have a marriage bond soon, we are all that we need right here. That will never change. Although," at this Spock looked at Jim, "in all honesty, I might prefer Jim slightly during my height of Pon Farr because I will have an overwhelming desire to impregnate my omega."

At this Jim blushed a furious shade of red, while McCoy nodded and said, "I cannot disagree with that logic Mr. Spock, the idea of seeing Jim pregnant is alluring." Spock smiled at McCoy and with a laugh in his voice said, "I am glad we are in agreement."

"Yea, well don't get used to it mister!" McCoy retorted as he caressed Spock's hand. Then with eyes lowered, as if embarrassed by his bluntness, he said, "The only way I want to come between you is if I cum…if you catch my drift."

Spock lifted his face so he was staring right at him, "I would love nothing more than to make you cum so much and so hard you forget your name."

"My God man! Jim didn't tell me you had a silver tongue!"

"Oh his tongue is good for so many things Bones, you have no idea!" This caused the normally stoic Vulcan to blush a deep green at the comments made by his partners. After the Vulcan had recovered his wits, he gently laid the doctor down while he and Jim remained propped up and joined their hands over McCoy's stomach looking directly into McCoy's crystal blue eyes. Jim and Spocks hand disengaged and slowly, tenderly explored the doctor's body. Their touches were coordinated yet natural, arousing all three men. McCoy's hands joined in the exploration. His hips lifting from the bed and their duel erections met his thighs. He turned one way, then the other, kissing each man, reaching for them, pressing himself back and forward to meet their erections. Leonard hadn't realized he had started to cry until Spock and Jim began to gently wipe the tears from his face and their hands drifted down to his erected penis. The men quietly murmured to each other, "Kiss me, fuck me, love me, hold me, K'diwa, ashayam" through their bond love flowed and heightened the physical experience. McCoy came first, crying out as his cum splashed over Spock's toned stomach, quickly followed by the two men who coated the doctor in their joy.

Spock came to first, murmuring "I love thee Lenoard and am grateful beyond words that you have decided to join us. You are my T'hy'la, my Ashayam. You help to balance Jim and I in ways we cannot begin to describe. I love you and am glad to spend the rest of my life with you."

Jim slowly came out of his post orgasm haze and quietly said in Leonard's ear, "I love you too Bones. More than words can say. Spock, when can we complete the bond between the three of us? I want both of you in my mind, I want to feel you both."

Spock reached across Lenoard and ran his slender fingers through his husband's hair, saying, "Patience love. We will create a bond between the three of us very soon. Sadly Leonard, we cannot take two weeks off like Jim and I did for our marriage bond. We will have to content ourselves with a few days off on board and a holodeck program to complete our bond." Spock sat up with a concerned look on his face, and that seeped through the bond he had with Leonard, "Please, do not think that this means I love you any less then Jim. We simply cannot get away at this time."

McCoy sat up, adjusted himself so he was sitting in Spock's lap and looked directly into his partner's eyes, "Spock I have felt your love for me through the bond, I have seen your love through countless actions since our relationship began. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you love me. I also know it is almost impossible for the Captain, First Officer and CMO to all leave a ship at the same time, and I did not expect that. However, I do have two requests to make," at that comment he reached out to hold Jim's hand, "I would love for us to get married at my Georgia cabin, even a holodeck version, and we are flying past where my daughter is stationed…would it be possible for her to join us? To witness our marriage?"

Spock brushed his fingers along Leonards PSI points, and began speaking, "Of course Ashyam. It would be an honor to be married at your home and to have your daughter with us." Jim leaned in, kissing Leonard on the check and whispered, "Of course darling, that is a small request to make. Spock and I are honored you are joining us." Leonards eyes filled with tears as he huskily said, "Thank you my dears. You two mean the world to me." Leonard leaned into Spock, and gently kissed him, sending all the love he could not express through their bond. The three men made love again that night, expressing their love through physical touch.

The men decided to be married in two weeks time - giving them enough time to do the proper paperwork required for Starfleet, and to pick up Joanna. The day of the wedding saw the three men on shift and Leonard was a bundle of nerves. He was coming close to a full blown panic remembering his terrible divorce…he had married Jocelyin too young and too quickly since Jocelyn had been pregnant but he would never regret the result - Joanna had been the brightest spot in his life until his relationship with Spock and Jim. What if this marriage ended the same way? What if they fought constantly like he and Jocelyn had? Their marriage had started out fine but ended in utter disaster, he could not bear it if this marriage ended the same way. He sat at his desk, and was close to hyperventilation when he felt Spock's soothing presence through the bond and his voice, "Calm yourself Ashayam. Jim and I will never allow you to be hurt like that again. I will always help thee with your passionate emotions, in fact that is one of the reasons why I love you. We will disagree, I guarantee that, but we will always work it out - do not fear. You are not getting rid of us that easily Ashayam." Leonard felt himself relaxing and breathing deeply, he sent love, devotion and gratitude back along the bond.

A few moments later, Jim walked through the door causing Leonard to raise an eyebrow. Jim came and kneeled by Leonards side. "Bones, Spock told me on the bridge that you were having a panic attack and why. We will not be a repeat of your first marriage - you are a different man now and we have taken our relationship slowly. You, Spock and I had a deep friendship and bond that came before the romance. You are stuck with us Bones, you are not getting out of it! Besides, when I have a baby we need a doctor around." With a smile he got up, and held out his hand to Leonard, "Come on let's get married."
