It had been a really slow day for Jim. He had sat on the bridge for a while, ignoring the growing level of paper work that was building up on his desk. He had then succumbed to the inevitable and spent the next few hours going over progress reports and maintenance schedules. Normally on a day like this Jim would poke light fun at Spock, but he wasn't on the bridge all day. Jim knew where he had been though; he had given Elizabeth the day off, so that meant Spock was with her, and probably having more fun than Jim had had in a long time.
He had been looking forward to spending the night with his favourite nephew, but he then got a message off Lizzie saying that she would keep him with her for the night. Jim had been bummed about that. He loved hanging out with Caleb; the kid had style and seemed to reach a place in Jim's heart where it was ok to act openly. Since becoming a Captain, Jim had become more reserved and guarded, but with Caleb he didn't have to be like that, the kid didn't care.
Then Jim had had to spend nearly an hour going over everything before he could hand it all over to the night crew. He was irritated and didn't care who knew. There was only one thing that would be able to make him feel better, and that was getting shitfaced with Bones. Walking down towards the medical bay, Jim was surprised by how quiet it was. Normally there would be at least one or two people milling about.
Tuning a corner, Jim almost walked straight into someone. Expecting to have run into some lower ranking crewman, Jim was slightly taken aback when he met the eyes of Ambassador Sarek. Jim couldn't help but wonder why the Ambassador was down here, it was unusual for the man to leave his quarters, yet alone his deck.
"Ambassador?"
"Captain." Sarek acknowledged.
"Ambassador, may I go as far as to ask what you are doing down here? I don't mean to sound rude, but I you were amongst one of the last people I had expected to see." Jim asked the question carefully, he hated having to deal with dignitaries sometimes, and just because Sarek was Spock's father didn't make things any easier.
"I am here Captain, because my son has taken Miss McCoy to the medical bay. She has unwittingly become a member of my family, and I am concerned for her health."
Even though Sarek claimed he was concerned, his face certainly wasn't showing it. Jim however didn't really care about that right now. He increased his pace to a light jog. Lizzie was ill, he needed to find out what was wrong, she was like family to him now. Jim had heard Sarek's comment about Lizzie becoming a member of his family, but that wasn't a concern right now, although Jim would make sure to ask about it later.
Jim reached the doors to medical and he heard shouting from inside the room. The voices were muffled, and he couldn't understand what was being said. That only panicked Jim more. Bursting through the doors Jim had expected a gory sight from the sounds he had heard, but instead he was met with a fist to the face.
The resounding crack of Jim's nose breaking was sickening, that was followed by the sound of Jim hitting the floor, coupled with several cries of surprise and pain.
"Oh my god. Jim! Are you ok?" A voice asked, Jim couldn't really tell who it was as the room faded to black around him.
Elizabeth couldn't believe this was happening. She had been forced to process too much information today, and it was all getting a little bit overwhelming. The latest little titbit she had discovered was that she was pregnant, with Spock's baby. How had she found out? Not in a calm and happy environment, no that would be asking too much. She had found out by her elder brother attempting to attack the father of her unborn child, but he missed when Spock dodged him, so Leo had knocked out the Captain of a Starship instead. This would only have ever happened to her.
Leo had always been one to fly off the handle at any given moment, but this was beyond insane. She found herself flying across the room to comfort Caleb; he didn't understand what was happening. All he knew was that his Uncle Leo had just punched his Uncle Jim in the face for no apparent reason.
"Momma, why did Uncle Leo do that?" Caleb asked tearfully.
"Caleb, sweetie, your Uncle Leo is insane, that's why." Elizabeth answered her crying son, whilst trying to keep a calm voice and glaring at her older brother, who still looked somewhat murderous.
"Would someone please pick him up off the floor? The poor man gets punched for nothin', and you leave him bleedin' ‘n’ unconscious on the floor?" She was getting snarky now and her southern drawl was coming through thicker, but she had a crying child cradled against her and two fully grown men stood around with a bleeding Jim on the floor.
Begrudgingly, Bones motioned for Spock to help him pick Jim up and move him to a bio bed. He then set about resetting Jim's nose, it would be easier to do this whilst he was still out cold, despite being a fully grown man, Jim Kirk could be a real baby sometimes.
Elizabeth turned to Spock, pleading him with her eyes. ‘Would you please take Caleb back to my quarters, I need to have a very serious conversation with my brother?’
‘Of course Elizabeth.’ Spock responded. ‘However, I must insist that we speak before the end of the day; we also need to have a very serious conversation.’
‘Sure, just please take him. Try to get him to sleep if you can.’ Elizabeth reached up on her toes to press a light kiss to Spock's cheek. Getting an annoyed scoff from her brother for her actions.
"Caleb, baby, go with daddy back to our quarters, I'll be there soon."
Caleb nodded mutedly and turned to Spock, gazing up at the man. Spock stared back, unsure of what to do.
‘He wants you to carry him Spock.’ Elizabeth told him gently.
Without saying, or thinking, anything in acknowledgement, Spock stooped to collect the small child in his arms. Caleb immediately locked his hands behind Spock's neck and buried his head into his neck, sniffing slightly as the adoptive father and son left the room.
"Oh so my nephew's calling the green blooded bastard 'daddy' now?" Bones snarled from by Jim's bed. "When did that start? Before or after the asshole slept with you."
"Leonard McCoy, you stop this right now, you hear me." Elizabeth turned to her brother, a fire in her eyes just daring him to speak to her like that again.
At the very second Bones was taken aback by just how much Lizzie looked like their mother. It was a little bit frightening.
"Seriously what the hell is your problem? I can't imagine if I had been anyone else in this ship, you wouldn't have given a crap about Spock's personal life. So why the hell did you try to punch him?" Elizabeth demanded she needed to find the source of Bones' hatred; it wasn't natural to be that angry all the time.
"You really wanna know why I tried to punch him Lizzie? Because he's the wanktard that just knocked up my baby sister. I would try to punch any man who laid a finger on you, just because this time it appears to have happened with your consent doesn't mean anything to me." Bones replied, he was starting to calm down. He was only seeing a pale shade of pink now, instead of red.
"Oh, so you want me to believe that all that was just to protect my honour? Leo, he's the only person I have shown an interest in who hasn't run away screaming when he found out about my son." Elizabeth could feel the tears starting to well up in her eyes; she was both upset and angry with her brother.
The McCoy siblings glared at each other over Jim's unconscious form. Their attention was broken however, when said unconscious form started to rouse.
Jim slowly opened his eyes to a blinding light, and immediately threw his arm across his face. Groaning he made to sit up slightly, resting on his spare elbow for support. He could feel that there were people on either side of him, although who they were remained a mystery to him.
"What the hell happened to me? And why do I feel like my face has been split in two?" Jim asked the unknown persons, he was assuming that one of them was Bones.
He felt a hand caress the back of his head, smoothing his hair down. "Jim I'm so sorry this has happened. You walked in at the wrong time. My stupid ass-hat of a brother was trying to punch Spock out, and you got in the way of his fist." That was defiantly Lizzie talking to him, and stroking his head, he assumed. It was nice he didn't want her to stop.
Trying to sit up a little bit more, Jim slowly moved his arm away from his face. Squinting in the bright light, he peered up at the McCoy siblings; concern was etched into both of their faces. "Why was Bones trying to hit Spock? Did he find out about you two?"
Jim was still a little bit delirious; he wasn't watching what he was saying.
"What! He knew about you two?" Bones was yelling again, making Jim wince in pain. "How long? How long have you been keeping this from me?"
"It doesn't matter Leo." Elizabeth said calmly, she was cursing Jim in her head though.
"The hell it doesn't." Bones shouted, before turning to Jim and in a quieter tone asked, "Jim how did you find out about them, and when?"
Still slightly delirious, Jim answered. "A few weeks ago, I walked in on them the morning the Vulcan delegates came on board. Can you not yell please, it makes my head hurt more?"
"That was six weeks ago!" Bones exclaimed, turning on Elizabeth and ignoring the groan of pain from Jim. "You've been keeping this from me for six weeks?" He sounded more hurt than anything else now.
"What did you expect Leo, look at how you've reacted now? Do you really expect me to tell you stuff about my personal life when you have a dramatic tendency to fly off the handle at the drop of a hat?" She paused to allow her words to sink in. "You know I still remember what you did to the first guy I ever brought home, Andrew Porter. You threatened him at gun point. I didn't see him after that. So excuse me if I'm reluctant to share."
Jim was starting to come too properly; his mind was catching up with what was being said around him. He gave Bones a slightly squinty but approving look. "You threatened a guy at gun point?"
"It wasn't loaded. And the guy was an ass." Bones murmured recalling the memory; Lizzie hadn't spoken to him for a week after that had happened. And right now she was just glaring at him from across the bio bed. "So what are you and the hobgoblin going to do about this?"
"About what? The baby?"
"Of course the baby, are you gonna keep it or what?" Bones asked, his tone was still snappy, but he had reduced the volume.
"Well what do you think moron? I kept Caleb and he's one of the best things in my life, this time the baby belongs to the man I love, so yes I'm fucking keeping it." Elizabeth realised in that second that she had just admitted her love for Spock out loud, and he wasn't there to hear it.
"Fine, keep the kid. But I'll tell you this now, that green blooded bastard better do right by you." Bones' voice had a threatening edge to it. "If he doesn't I'll kill him and I'd like to see you try and stop me."
Elizabeth couldn't hold in her laughter at the ridiculousness of this whole situation. She was getting funny looks from both Jim and her brother, both oblivious as to what was so funny. For Elizabeth, after her day of pure hell, hearing Leo say that made all of the crap worthwhile. An hour ago, she found out that she and Spock were technically already engaged, so hearing her brother demand that Spock 'do right by her' was ridiculously comical and slightly ironic.
"What's so funny?"
"Oh Leo, my poor simple minded big brother. In the eyes of Vulcan society, I've been Spock's fiancée for almost two months."
