It is widely known that one of the only things that can floor a couple in the throes of passion is being walked in on. What some fail to mention is the horror that is causes when it's a child that does this. Spock and Elizabeth both stopped what they were doing and slowly turned to the source of the voice. Caleb was stood in the doorway, wearing his oversized PJ's with Cujo hanging loosely from his hand, and was giving them a funny look.
"Mr Spock, what are you doing to my Momma?"
Spock didn't know what to say, he was panicking and his eyes had gone wide with fear. Neither of them had spoken to Caleb about their relationship, they had decided it would be better to wait until he became more accustomed to Spock being around before breaching the subject. There was also the additional worry that if Caleb knew it would only be a matter of time before Bones found out, as Caleb spent a lot of time with his Uncle
Elizabeth could feel Spock's panic. She managed to manoeuvre her way out from underneath her lover, and sat on the side of her bed, opening her arms to Caleb silently asking him to come over to her. Lifting him up to sit on her knee she looked him dead in the eye.
"Caleb, sweetheart, Mr Spock and I... well we've been seeing each other." Elizabeth knew this conversation was going to be hard, but this was ridiculous.
"I know that." Caleb stated as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "It's hard to talk to someone without seeing them, or walk around without seeing anyone. Well you could, but you'd have to have your eyes closed, but then you'd walk into stuff.”
Elizabeth had to try to suppress the smile that was forming on her face. "That's not what I mean Caleb. When grown-ups see each other, they go out together, without anyone else. So Mr Spock and I sometimes have dinner together with no one else around, we talk to each other a lot, things like that."
"Oh, so just then you were talking?" Caleb asked in a sarcastic tone, with his eye brow raised. It was creepy but right then he looked just like Spock did sometimes. "I'm four and a half Momma, I'm not stupid."
Elizabeth felt herself blush. She had just been served by her four year old; if that's not the most mortifying thing in the universe she didn't know what was, she was defiantly going to have to have words with her brother about teaching Caleb about sarcasm. It didn't help that Spock was catatonic beside her; she could really use his input right about now. "No I know you're not Sweetheart. It's just Mr Spock and I really like each other."
"So you guys are like boyfriend and girlfriend? Like Gemma's momma and daddy back home."
"Yes!" Elizabeth thanked any deity that came to mind. "Yes, like Andria and Simon." Back on Earth, Caleb's best friend from play group, Gemma, had parents that weren't married and they had their little family. She had completely forgotten about them.
"So Mr Spock's gonna be my new daddy?" Caleb asked excitedly.
And the bucket of ice had been poured again. Elizabeth had never even thought about that aspect of her and Spock's relationship. Oh why was this happening? She was supposed to be having a relaxing day to prepare for a hellish night.
Spock had been listening to the conversation between mother and son. He remained immobile, and he could sense Elizabeth's irritation towards this fact, but his mind was racing. He was considering all of the options he and Elizabeth had. From the information his father had provided him, it was almost inevitable that they would bond properly. She would then be his wife, which would make Caleb his step-son. He was fond of the child; he showed promise and was highly intelligent.
But on another level could he really be a father to a child that was not his own? When he was a child, Spock had witnessed his own mother attempt to raise another woman's child. Sybok had resented her, didn't respect her, it had been a hard thing to watch and experience for him. Sarek had also suffered due to Sybok's behaviour towards Amanda. When Sybok left their home it had, in many ways, been one of the better days Spock had ever experienced on Vulcan. Spock didn't know if he could interfere with the small McCoy family dynamic.
He reached out to Elizabeth with his mind. He could feel her apprehension, she did not want to answer Caleb's question for fear of upsetting Spock. Though it was clear that she wanted to tell the boy that Spock was going to be his father, she was worried that things were moving too fast. Making up his mind, Spock answered the question on her behalf.
"Caleb, if you want me to become your father then I shall. It is a choice that lies with you and your mother."
Elizabeth had not been expecting that. She had expected Spock to take off running a warp speed in the other direction, but he was willing to stay and join their small family. Her heart soared at that.
"Well, Momma said she really likes you and that you really like her. And I've never had a daddy before, so that'll be weird." Caleb paused as though deep in thought, before he turned to Elizabeth. "Momma, can Mr Spock be my daddy. I really wanna have a daddy."
Elizabeth was trying to fight back the tears of happiness that were threatening to fall. Nodding her head she pulled Caleb closer to her chest in a tight hug. "Of course he can Caleb."

Today had been a series of firsts for Spock. Never before today had he actively gone to seek out a woman for intimate relations, never before today had his intimate relations with a woman been interrupted by a child, and never before today had anyone ever called him daddy.
He and Elizabeth were now on their way to dinner with his father, with Caleb in tow. It was logical for them to bring him along, Elizabeth was afraid if she left him with either Jim or her brother than Caleb would tell them about his day. Spock had stayed with the mother and son; they had gone hiking in one of the new holodeck programs that Scotty had developed recently. Elizabeth had mused how it was similar to things she and her brother had done with their own parents growing up.
Spock found it easy to say that hiking with Elizabeth and Caleb had been one of the better experiences he had ever had. As a child he had never really had quality time with his father, he didn't have friends as many of the children mocked his mother. He had spent most of his youth with his mother, but his relationship with her had never been like Elizabeth and Caleb's. Spock regretted this.
Reaching the private quarters of Sarek, Spock requested entrance. The doors opened to reveal the older Vulcan, his eyebrow raised slightly at the sight of the child accompanying the couple. He had not expected them to bring the child, if anything his presence surprised him; it was obvious that Elizabeth McCoy had made sure the child had as little contact with the Vulcans on board as possible. A task at which she proved herself very able, since being on board the Enterprise, Sarek had only ever clapped eyes on the child four times.
"Father." Spock greeted.
"Spock, I was expecting Miss McCoy's presence, but the child, that is a surprise."
"It was logical to bring Caleb this evening Father."
"Logical? In what way my son?" Sarek was intrigued. Spock was behaving unusually, it interested Sarek to see if Spock's logic was sound or not.

Before anyone else could answer, Caleb interjected. "So if you're Mr Spock's daddy, does that make you my other Grandpa?"
