Summary: The Uhura-McCoy-Kirk family do the last thing they've never done together
A/N: See previous A/Ns.
It had been five years since the Narada incident. It had been four years since Jim and she had seduced Bones into joining them, three years since Christina had been born and one year since Karl had joined the family. They’d all agreed to at least one more cruise, since the Enterprise was perfectly capable of supporting children up to teenagers. After all, they went on five year journeys, not two day pleasure cruises. After the next cruise they’d debate settling down so Christina could go to middle and high school somewhere, probably San Francisco. They’d teach during the school year and travel during the summers to help Jim’s itchy foot. If they’d been born in an earlier time Jim would have been a pioneer. Or at least a wagon train leader. He had the worst wandering foot she’d ever seen. Possibly a cowboy, she could see him riding the ranges fairly easily as well.
The one thing they hadn’t ever done was get married. They’d talked about it, but it had been one thing after the other but they’d decided that the break between missions was the perfect time to get married, Leo’s pregnancy due to an alien priestess not-withstanding. Besides, Leo was only four months pregnant. He was only barely showing, and the acute pains of his organs reorganizing themselves around the womb was mostly finished. He was in the second trimester, which had been her favorite parts both times. She’d got to glory in the pregnancy without most of the annoying side-effects that first and third trimesters had brought and indulge the fact her libido generally shot through the roof.
Nyota was just glad that she wasn’t the one pregnant this time. She did enjoy being pregnant, but it was time her guys took the pleasure of the actual labor which, barring the part where she got to meet whoever she’d been carrying for nine months, was her least favorite part. At least the second time went faster than the first. This was the last kid though, hopefully. One for each of them, in each combination their genes were capable of, without all contributing to one.
They’d debated long and hard who was going to be invited to the wedding. They didn’t really want to invite everyone under the sun, but they did get the entire bridge crew, her entire crew, and the medical staff, as well as the new first officer, a recently returned Spock. He’d helped set up the colony, and was ready to pursue Starfleet again. There hadn’t been a question when Number One had been awarded her own ship, and Spock had requested the position of who to ask to be first officer.
She’d been worried she might still carry a few flames for the Vulcan, but they’d met to talk a few times, and while he still was a handsome man, the special tingle she’d gotten around him was gone. She wasn’t terribly surprised or sad at the change. Five years was a long time to be apart, just like she’d told him in the beginning. They were still friends, still understood each other, but Leo and Jim, and Christina, Karl, and the sea monkey were her life outside of work now. She hoped that he and Jim got to working together without the baggage of their first time, that they did in fact form that partnership the elder Spock had talked about, lauded as desirable above all else. Shealso hoped he found a nice girl or boy to date. Maybe she’d hook him up with Christine.
Speaking of the elder Spock, seeing his face when they’d introduced the entire family, she’d nearly laughed out loud at the look of surprise that was so entirely evident to someone who’d dated Spock. He’d been absolutely flabbergasted in his Vulcan way. She’d restrained the urge to thumb her nose at him and tell him that this Jim damned well did have a family, and wasn’t married to the Enterprise beyond all human contact. This Jim damned well had a life instead of a job. He was still the best captain to ever think about touching the Enterprise, but he hadn’t lost his contact with basic humanity in order to become that.
But she was more mature than that. She’ let the old Spock cuddle baby Karl, and watched him enjoy listening to little Chris chatter about everything. He’d gone on his way, very contemplative. And she thought a bit sad, which had made her feel bad, and spurred her to offer to let him come visit them anytime, watch the children grow up with them.
They married in a very simple ceremony. Not quite as simple as slipping up to the courthouse and signing papers, but it wasn’t going to be some old fashioned church wedding either. They found that they preferred to be outdoors most of the time on their leave. Being indoors was too much like being back on the ship, and they’d be back there soon enough. So they found a gorgeous garden and a officiant and scheduled their block of time. They’d written their own vows, and as the sun set over them, they spoke their words of love to each other, promising to be family, to hold each other up, and catch each other when they fell. Jim held Christina and she held Karl through the oaths since they were part of their whole. Leo, of course, had the sea monkey inside of him, waiting to make their family entirely complete. But that would be five more months away, while they were boldly going where no family had gone before, together.
