Caleb excitedly relayed what he and the Capitan had spoken about when she was gone. She listened and laughed along with her child and the Capitan. She seemed so at ease, holding her son close to her. It was clear to anyone that she loved him, and that he loved her just as much. Spock couldn't help but notice that despite the fact that the child was partly Vulcan, he failed to display any of the traits that were common place amongst their race. Other than aesthetically, this child was no more Vulcan than Capitan Kirk or Dr McCoy.
There were other things that Spock found himself wondering. For example, why the child was not becoming inebriated. Chocolate, regardless of what kind, had the adverse effects on Vulcans that alcohol has on humans. Furthermore, who had dared to lay a finger on this woman whilst she was on Vulcan, in the house of T'sai T'Pau no less? He had overheard everything that had transpired between the McCoy siblings in the galley, not without some effort on his part. It bothered him more than he was willing to admit that a member of his own race would commit such a heinous crime. There had not been a case of rape reported on Vulcan for centuries, not since they had purged all emotion.
Regardless, he would not divulge this information, not just yet, that would be illogical. He would attempt to gain her trust, learn more about what had happened to her. He would provide aid to her by teaching her son about his Vulcan heritage. After all, it was necessary to learn about where one comes from, it would be logical for Elizabeth to have him teach the boy; perform the role that Caleb's father would have.
Bones found himself watching his newly discovered nephew. There had been a fear in the back of his mind, a never ending mantra constantly calling into question of how human the child was. Spock, after all, was also half human and look at him. Bones couldn't stand the thought of anyone related to him being anything remotely like Spock. It was true that he was far more tolerant of the Vulcan First Officer now than he had been in the past, hell if he were to go out on a limb, he would even go as far to as to say he was slightly fond of him. Ever since the green blooded hobgoblin had pulled his head outa his ass, he had been more bearable.
Plus, for the first time in his life, Jim was proving to be somewhat of a positive influence. But the horror of ever being addressed by his nephew in that monotonous way Spock often did made the skin on the back of his neck crawl. Yet, as he observed Caleb more and more, he noticed that he likelihood of this ever coming to pass was extremely unlikely. Caleb was clearly his mother's son, and a happy little boy at that. Before long, Bones found himself laughing along with the Capitan and his newly re-united family.
"So Caleb, you never told me how Cujo got his name." Jim addressed the little boy. "Did you name him yourself?"
Bones looked at his little sister disbelievingly, but didn't get a chance to say anything before Caleb answered the Capitan whilst fiddling with the stuffed dog.
"No, Momma said that was the name he came with when she got him."
"Did she now?" Bones asked, continuing the cursory look he had held on Elizabeth. Who had the decency to look bashful. "It's an interesting name; I wonder how she came up with it."
She didn't say anything and just smiled, Leonard knew exactly where it had come from, it was all his fault really. Her own sense of humour had developed from his. For the first time that day she felt truly relaxed. Although earlier on in the evening she had been pretending to be at ease, it was all an act, now the Leonard knew what had happened, she could relax properly. She had been on edge ever since she had come on board. She had known the her brother was the CMO on the ship, that fact had terrified her. Just because she was now a fully grown and independent woman doesn't mean she had stopped looking from approval from her big brother. But the urge to be given a chance to travel around and cook for some of the most distinguished officers in Starfleet, all the while being able to take her kitchen with her was an offer she hadn't been able to refuse. On the side of that the tiny hope had been present in the back of her mind that Leonard would want to re-connect; this hope was quickly becoming a reality.
Elizabeth could feel Caleb begin to fall asleep in her arms. "Come on little man, it's time you go back to bed. It's been a long day for both of us." She murmured quietly in his ear, but couldn't resist the urge to smile when he shook his head fervently.
"No Momma, I'm not tired." He insisted, all the while he was fighting to keep his eyes open.
"Yes you are. Come on, let's see how long it’ll take Momma to find our quarters again." She said more to herself than anyone else as she rose to her feet and shifted Caleb back onto her hip.
It was her movement that Spock's attention, he had seen it out of the corner of his eye. It was clear that the boy was on the verge of sleep and she was about to depart to take him to bed. Without even pausing to think, Spock stood.
"Elizabeth, I would gladly offer my services and escort you back to your quarters. It would be illogical to allow you to wander around rather than take a direct route there."
Jim, who had been taking a drink from what was honestly the best hot chocolate he had ever tasted, choked and coughed what was in his mouth back into the mug, his eyebrows flying up to meet his hair line upon hearing Spock offer. Wiping his mouth on his sleeve, he continued to splutter, his interest focused back upon Spock.
Elizabeth herself was surprised by Spock's offer, he had been silent throughout the past conversation, not even speaking to add he two cents at any point. She hadn't pegged him as someone who would willingly place himself out of his own way. She had spent plenty of time in the presence of Vulcans; they seldom seemed to want to go out of their way for anything or anyone.

Part of her resented the fact that a man deemed it acceptable to offer help to her when she was a single parent who had managed on her own so far. But a bigger, more rational, part of her was deeply touched by the Vulcan's offer, and so she accepted. She stepped to the side and allowed Spock to lead her out of the Officers mess.
