Feedback: yes please to qzeebrella@yahoo.com Pairing: Spock/McCoy Rating: G Dear Doctor Leonard prepped for surgery Desperate to get ready One of the red shirts was hurt An honorable man A great poker player A man by the name of Kenny From the scans a med-tech had done It looked as if there were a lot of damage Looked as if there were little hope He thought briefly of Eric Cartman Who was Kenny's lover Then wiped out of his mind Everything but his task He was going to do his best Try his hardest for this patient In order to do that He would have to forget It was Kenny He went into the operating room Was met by Christine His favorite assistant when The situation was desperate She had a knack for anticipating What equipment he would need Christine had a knack for Setting him at ease Helping him to focus Knew where each piece of equipment was He was glad she was on duty Today when he would try His very best to save Kenny He worked on Kenny For quite some time Using hyposprays and autosutures The cardio stimulator The neural stimulator Every weapon and technique In his vast arsenal Remembering that his most vital Important tools Were his mind and heart He worked quickly and desperately Tried every avenue Fought death with every procedure With every instrument he could Though he could see death winning He did not give up the fight For if he tried hard enough If he could perform another miracle Perhaps he'd win against death after all In the end despite all he had tried In spite of doing his best Death won and Leonard bowed his head His heart and soul ached For the unique and precious person lost His heart and soul cried For Kenny and his lover Eric Christine gently placed her hand Upon Leonard's shoulder "I'll clean up here while you go To speak with Lieutenant Cartman You did everything you could Len You are the best doctor I've ever seen Cartman will come to understand You did your very best Please Len allow yourself to believe That there was nothing more you could do." Leonard just shook his head His soul aching too much to accept That he could not do more Perhaps if he had tried this other technique Perhaps if he had used that protoplaster Perhaps that new medicine Perhaps if he was quicker, smarter Perhaps if he was a better surgeon He would have been able to save Kenny He informed Lieutenant Cartman Of his lover's death Saw Eric's shattered look When Lieutenant Cartman started to shake Took Eric into his arms Held on as Eric mourned And beat his fist and cried "Why didn't you do something? Why didn't you try?" A friend of Lieutenant Cartman's led him away To rest and to mourn Eric's words echoed in his ears "Why didn't you do something? Why didn't you try?" Oh God why wasn't there something Anything he could have done To save Kenny To save Ensign McCormick He went to Jim's ready room Called Captain Kirk in to inform him "He's dead Jim." He said in a defeated tone "There was nothing I could do Ensign Kenny McCormick died at 17:25 Of serious, multiple wounds Attained in the line of duty." He saw Jim swallow sudden grief He saw Jim try to take the burden Of the death of another crew He saw Jim's sympathy As Jim clasped his right shoulder "I'm sure you tried everything possible. Spock went off duty a couple of minutes ago He'll be waiting for you In your quarters I'm sorry Bones I know you and Kenny played poker together I'll arrange the memorial." Leonard walked wearily Towards his quarters Mind and soul swamped in grief Heart bleeding in pain He needed to get to his haven His sanctuary of safety He needed to get home He needed to get to Spock Spock saw his mate His t'hyla His dear doctor and cherished one Come into their quarters He saw the pain in Leonard's eyes Felt Leonard's mourning Through their bond Lent a supporting arm To his One Spock sat Leonard down Upon a sofa Took off Leonard's socks and shoes Took off his own clothing Then stood Leonard up To remove Leonard's Soothed his mate as he cried softly Moving him gently into the shower Washing his Leonard with care Caressing him softly Trying to ease Leonard's inner pain Spock dried Leonard off Helped him into pajama bottoms Put on his own sleep robe Lay Leonard gently on the bed Climbed in to lay beside him Turned Leonard to face him Cradling his cherished doctor's head Upon his right shoulder Holding him in a comforting embrace Gently stroking his fingers Through Leonard's soft hair Holding his mate as he mourned As Leonard cried himself to sleep And kissing Leonard's shoulder Determined to be there always For this cherished one For his dear doctor.
