Maybe Sam will make a visit soon. RATING: G Author: Sorlak Pairing: Kirk/Spock Disclaimer: Paramount owns them, not me. I just borrowed them for a bit of slashy fun. Note: Part of the Slash Advent Calendar Challenge situated at: http://www.kardasi.com/advent Feedback Email address: sorlak @ kirolee.com Thanks to my wonderful beta reader Lyrastar, who put up with all of my annoying grammer mistakes and suggested the title. Title: "What Child is This?" "Spock, why don't you want your parents to come here for Christmas and meet Sam?" Spock said nothing, he just looked down at the newborn son that the love of his life and "mother" of his child was holding. "I do not want my father to react badly around our son," Spock said, as he picked up Sam to cuddle him. "We've talked about this before. I'm certain your parents will like Sam. And they really want to see you. I know your mother really misses you and wants to see you." "How would you know that?" "I got a letter from her just a few minutes ago. She said your father is also sending you one. It must not have gotten here yet." "What did my mother say?" "Not much really. She did congratulate us on our bonding and on Sam's birth, but she said she'd rather wait and say more in person." "Did it seem like she approved of us?" "Yes, but does that really matter? I mean, we have each other and we have our son," Kirk said "True, however it is often pleasant to have the approval of family." Three hours later, unknown to the two new parents, a shuttle arrived onboard the Enterprise. In that shuttle were Spock's parents. "Won't they be so surprised to see us?" Amanda asked, as she stepped out of the shuttle. "I doubt our son will be surprised," Sarek said from behind the huge stack of presents he was carrying. Some were Christmas presents for Kirk and Spock, but most of them were for their grandson. Amanda turned around and carefully pulled two boxes out of the stack, creating a window for her husband to see through. "Is that better?" "It would be better if we didn't bring so many gifts." "It is our duty as grandparents to spoil our grandchildren." "Vulcans do not spoil grandchildren." Amanda pulled a few more presents from Sarek's pile. "Oh, take one look at your parents and what they did with Spock. There is no way you cannot call that spoiling." "I do seem to remember an extraordinary amount of attention they paid Spock when he was young." "See, Vulcans do spoil their grandchildren. Now let's go. We don't want Spock and James to find out we're here before we get to them." They were guided by a McCoy who was trying to keep himself from giggling. The new grandparents made their way to sickbay where Kirk was still recovering from "giving birth" to Sam. Fortunately, neither Kirk nor Spock was holding Sam when Sarek and Amanda made their entrance. If they had they probably would have dropped him in shock. "Merry Christmas," Amanda whispered when she saw Sam sleeping in his cradle beside Kirk's bed. "Ho Ho Ho," Sarek mumbled. He hadn't wanted any part of playing Santa, but Amanda had insisted and Amanda usually got whatever she asked for. He didn't mind though, as seeing her happy would always make his day a pleasant one. "You're... You're here," Spock stuttered. "Who were you expecting, the Tooth Fairy?" Amanda replied as she attempted to hug her son. Much to her surprise, she succeeded. "We were thinking about asking you and Jim to come home for the holiday, but thanks to Dr. McCoy, we came here instead." "What did Dr. McCoy do?" Kirk asked. "He advised us that it wouldn't be safe for you or Sam to travel anywhere right now, so he arranged for transportation." "So that's why he's been giggling all day," Kirk said, as he looked at the blushing and nodding doctor. "I did want to keep it a secret, but it was Amanda's idea to do the Santa thing," McCoy said. Fortunately for Sarek, he had found a table to pile all the presents onto. He was now watching the baby as he slept. "So, this is Sam. My grandson." "Do you want to hold him?" Kirk asked, before Spock could say anything. Sarek wordlessly picked up the tiny child and looked at him before smiling. "He is a beautiful child." Spock found it very difficult to speak at that moment. "You're smiling?!" "I believe I have sufficient reason. I am seeing my grandson for the first time." "We thought you wouldn't approve of him." "Why wouldn't I approve?" "His mother is human and is a man." "I have absolutely no room for complaint if I disapproved of your bonding with a human. Besides, you wouldn't have Sam if I didn't approve of your choice of bondmate." "Why not?" Spock asked. "I am the person who arranged for you to conceive a child and keep him with you. If I hadn't written that letter to Starfleet, you would have been forced to leave Starfleet." "Thank you Father. This is the greatest Christmas I have ever experienced," Spock said as he deliberately smiled in public for the first time. He finally found that the cause was sufficient. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ ASCEM messages are copied to a mailing list.
