Act Three, Scenes Eleven to Thirteen
Make yourself an honest man, and then you may be sure there is one less rascal in the world. ~Thomas Carlyle
Bones exited his room, that damned rabbit in his hands. Waiting just outside his door, in shorts, t-shirt and sneakers was Jim, just leaning casually against the wall. At the sight of the soft toy, Jim grinned.
"Aww Bones, Rascally wuvs you! He just can't stay away," Jim purred towards Bones.
"Don't you give me no sass, you damned infant. Now put him back where he belongs," Bones glared at him and shoved the toy into Jim's chest.
Jim brought a hand up quickly to land over the top of Bones', holding it and the rabbit in place. He continued to smile at Bones, but his eyes narrowed registering his intent to continue on from the night before.
"Just, don't Jim," Bones spoke quietly. "Not at the moment. Ok?"
Jim nodded and let go of Bones' hand.
"C'mon man, time for a run," he said slapping Bones on the shoulder and turning him around to head towards the stairs. Unbeknown to Bones, Jim tossed the rabbit back into Bones' room, as he passed, quickly making sure it landed safely on his bed, before joining his friend.
The pair exited the house, not seeing another soul, and started running. Bones set a strong pace, obviously using the run to work through some of his frustration. Jim, understanding his friend, kept quiet. Now was not a time to pester Bones out of his funk with many a light hearted quip or a stupid story.
They returned to the house, sweaty and well exercised. Both headed up to their respective rooms, still cloaked in comfortable silence.
Jim smiled as he heard the "God damn it Jim," from inside Bones' room as he took up the same spot in the corridor as he had earlier in the morning. Bones had obviously found Rascally again.
Bones opened his door as if it had personally offended him. Jim chuckled at his friend. The chuckle alerted Bones to Jim's presence, in jeans and a dark blue denim shirt.
Bones had learned from his last experience and didn't hand the rabbit over to Jim. He just marched straight past him and headed for Joanna's room. Once there he placed the rabbit down by her pillows and turned to leave the room. He had to squeeze past a smirking Jim, who was now lounging in the doorway.
Jim moved forward to crowd Bones up against the other side of the door frame, "can I talk to you yet?" Jim asked as he pressed a kiss to the spot just below Bones' ear.
Bones growled and pushed him away. "Not now Jim, after breakfast!"
Jim moved and led the way towards the kitchen. They entered to find Clay, Jocelyn and Joanna all seated at the table.
"Well lookie who finally decided to grace us with their presence! Sleep well after your 'exercise' last night, did you, Jimmy-boy?" Clay smirked over his coffee cup.
Jim had stayed standing while Bones slipped onto the chair next to Joanna. "Jimmy-boy?" He mouthed at Bones.
"Welcome to the South, Jim-Boy," Bones replied before turning to shoot a warning glare towards Clay.
"I slept just fine, had some more exercise just this morning too," Jim replied.
Clay slapped his hands down on the table and half rose out of his chair. "Now see here you stupid Yankee, not in my damned house you don't!"
Jim stepped away from the wall and towards the table, watching Bones lean over quietly to talk to Joanna, after she had jumped and looked scared at Clay's outburst.
Joanna slipped out of her chair and with a tentative smile at Jim, left the room.
"Devina, could you please go and help Joanna?" Bones asked while the tension simmered in the room. Devina closed the door behind her as she quickly left the room.
"How could you, Leonard? In my house, with Joanna sleeping not three doors away? You never did have any sense of decorum, you or that so called Captain of the Universe. Thankfully Clay was correct that Joanna needs to be sent away to school. She has too many McCoy habits ingrained in her that need to be seen to," Jocelyn hissed towards Bones.
Bones reached out to grab onto Jim's arm, stilling him from speaking.
"Me and that Captain of the fucking Universe are taking my daughter. I don't care what that damn judge had to say," Bones sternly told Jocelyn. "You already broke it allowing me to stay here while you and him gallivanted off trying to find a cure for his shooting blanks. Welcome to your empty life, Jocelyn. Oh yes, I know all about his little problem, don't you try and interrupt me. You think Ida-Mae is a gossip queen, you ain't heard medical staff go at it. The world might have moved on but Georgia is still Georgia and you ain't nothing if you can't carry on the family line. There is as much a cure for Clay as there was for my father. So, me, JoJo and Jim are leaving this damned house today. No matter what fool thoughts your Daddy and the rest of your family put in your head, money can not buy you happiness. We had plenty but it was never enough for you. I kept working hard cause you always wanted more. More things, more times when I should have been home. I couldn't win and I shoulda put my foot down. We both destroyed our marriage but I thank the Lord for it, cause you gave me one perfect thing, as Jim reminded me yesterday, Joanna. You fix that god damned ruling or else I will start talking to all those media outlets that have been begging me and Jim for 'statements'. You want to come up against me and the man who saved all your lives? You really think the public are gonna believe you? I can whip up such a storm that you'll never recover from. You'll never be able to hold your head up anywhere round here again! You know how much I hate to air my dirty laundry for all to see. I'll proudly hang it from the bloody Enterprise for Joanna."
Clay had stepped up behind Jocelyn while Bones had let fly at her. He opened his mouth to let loose onto the man he had enjoyed turning into a cuckold, but Bones got in first.
"Don't you say one fucking word," Bones pointed at Clay. "I will hit you again, no matter that my momma taught me to be polite in someone else's house. You hurt my little girl. Never again." With that Bones turned on his heel and stalked out the room, slamming the door open; he had said his piece.
At the opening of the door, Devina jumped back out of the way. "You get all that Devina?" Bones asked, one eyebrow raising as he crossed his arms to glare at the housekeeper. "Make sure to tell Ida-Mae that her beloved Clay is shooting blanks. No little Treadways to follow him into this world, 'cause that dog just won't hunt!" On that note Bones left the Treadway's and Jim behind.
Jim smiled towards the other two in the room with him. He lent forward to say quietly, "we went for a run this morning, good exercising it is."
Jim scampered from the room to catch up to Bones. He had to almost run across the foyer before he caught up to Bones on the stairs.
"Damn Bones, you are hot when you get riled!" He said as he came up behind him.
Bones stopped dead in his tracks to turn and roll his eyes at Jim. "God dammit Jim, I am not going to have sex with you." He turned away from Jim to continue up the stairs and around the corner.
"Curse some more, I never realized how much I love having you get angry." Jim's voice had dropped a few octaves as he watched the muscles in Bones' ass as he walked ahead of him.
It was the final straw for Bones and even though he didn't know where Jim was looking, the words were enough. He spun back around and pushed him into the wall, "you little motherfucker... god Jim!" Bones then did the unexpected, well the unexpected for Jim, he kissed him.
If Jim was asked later what the kiss was like he would have said that Bones just kissed the heck out of him. Hands all over, never still, both grappling and fighting and pure passion.
A cough interrupted the pair. They broke away to look towards the sound to see Joanna outside her bedroom door. "That's kinda gross," she told them.
Jim fondly laughed at the look on Joanna's face, he noted that Bones had dropped his head with a hint of embarrassment. Jim slipped out from Bones hold and walked over to Joanna. "Now which books have you packed, little lady? 'Cause you know what, I think you are going to need them all." Jim turned back towards Bones to smile at him before heading into Joanna's room to help her find as many bags as possible to pack all her books.
Bones paused as he contemplated the two people now in that room, both of them meaning a lot to him. He joined them to help in the packing.
***
Blessedly, the Treadway's kept out of their way and they had a pleasant trip from Roswell to Hartsfield-Jackson. Bones had contacted his mother and Joanna's excitement that she was going to stay with her grandma was uncontainable. There were tears welling in Devina's eyes as she said farewell and it seemed that Joanna didn't quite understand that her 'holiday' with her grandmother might end up being permanent.
Once at the airport, Jim headed off to arrange the tickets. Bones called out to him to wait, but Jim just breezily responded, "I know Bones, window seat," and kept heading over to the ticket counter.
A few silly games were needed to pass the time before their shuttle was called and they were heading off to Las Vegas. Transferring from there onto a smaller shuttle, again with Bones seated by the window and Joanna in between the two, they landed late in the afternoon at South Lake Tahoe airport. Waiting for the trio was an elegantly dressed older woman with striking green eyes.
"Grandma!" Joanna yelled, as she pulled out of Bones' grip to make a beeline for the woman, who was laughing and kneeling down to greet the child.
"I'll get the bags," Jim stated as he walked off towards the carousel, not giving Bones a chance to offer.
He watched quietly as the three McCoy's greeted each other and caught up. He smiled at the put upon expression on Bones' face whenever he was being addressed by his mother. But as soon as her attention was turned towards Joanna, there was such a softening on his face that Jim was determined to make sure stayed there for as long as possible.
As Jim joined them with the trolley and the bags, Bones smiled at him and introduced him to his mother. "This is Jim Kirk, my friend. Jim this is my mother, Eleanora McCoy."
"A pleasure to meet you Mrs McCoy." Jim greeted Eleanora before addressing Joanna. "So that is where you get that name from, squirt?"
"Yep, although my eyes aren't as pretty as Grandma's. Everyone knows Jim, Grandma. They kept stopping to talk to him," Joanna told them, babbling away as she held tight onto her grandmother's hand.
"Your eyes are very pretty, squirt. I like them, now why don't we head off just in case some other people decide to stop and talk to us again?" Jim said.
"Very well said, young man. Come along this way. LH, you bring the bags," Eleanora ordered her son.
"Yes, LH. Bring the bags!" Jim smirked as he pushed the trolley into Bones hand and offered his arm to Eleanora.
They drove out of the populated area and along a road that was sign posted Emerald Bay Road. Man made structures gave way to nature - pine trees and mountains and Lake Tahoe to the right. Jim sat back and allowed the conversation to flow over him. Before long they turned off onto Upper Cascade Lake Road and at the end of it, they puled up to a well maintained house overlooking the lake. It was split into two sections with a glass atrium linking them. Eleanora drove the car under the building into the garage area and ushered them upstairs.
"Now this way is where Joanna will be staying," she said as she pushed open a door to reveal a lovely room that contained a wall full of bookshelves. Empty and just waiting to be filled. "Why don't you unpack your bags, Joanna, and I think those shelves need some books in them."
Eleanora ushered the boys out of the room and over the glass walkway towards the other section of the house. She paused halfway over so that they could admire the view.
"I hope you are not referring to my granddaughter's height with your nickname of her?" She said to Jim.
Jim smiled as he responded, "not at all Mrs McCoy, young Joanna just happens to be remarkably proficient with a hose."
"Ah, a trick I do believe her father taught her. Please, call me Eleanora," she said as she continued the tour into the other side.
Once there, she walked down the central corridor and then opened a door at the end to reveal a master suite, with one large bed in the center, facing the windows and another superb view of the lake.
"Now this is your room, enjoy and Joanna and I will see you at dinner. Don't worry LH, there is a code on the interconnecting door of which Joanna does not have access." With a pat on the cheek of Bones and little sly smile and a wink at Jim, she left two speechless men in the room.
Jim was the first to break, laughing uproariously. "You know I've never had a parent tell me to have sex with their child before! Let along arrange a couple of hours privacy for that to occur."
"Oh for the love of Christ, my mother has seen those blasted news reports and thinks that you and I are, well, you know!" Bones growled as he dumped his bag on the ground and stalked over towards the windows.
Jim put his own bags down and walked over to the other man who was radiating tension.
"Well, we are, you know," Jim replied. "There is a relationship between us. Why not take your mother up on her offer of a nice relaxing couple of hours?"
"Christ's sake, Jim. It takes a while to build a relationship and one blow job does not count!" Bones resolutely refused to look at Jim.
Jim grabbed onto Bones' arm and made him turn to face him. "You and I have lived in each others pockets for three years and not managed to kill each other. We have a relationship. One that is a damn sight stronger than the one that ex-wife of yours has I can bet. Why not have the icing on the cake? I've wanted to bed you for a long time, but you were my friend first and most importantly. Well, we managed to do something pretty darn nice last night and it hasn't wrecked our friendship. The entire fucking world thinks we have been doing it for years. I say we listen to them and make this real, not pretend. I got you nice and hard up against that tree, I wanted to push you into that wall at the theater and fuck you blind and guess what? We have a big, soft bed over there and whether you like it or not I plan on making full use of it with you."
Jim finished his diatribe, fists clenched at his side. Panting hard as he waited to see what Bones' reaction would be.
Bones stared at him, eyes flashing with anger, before he growled and then reached up to grip Jim's arms. He tightened that grip and then walked Jim back towards the bed.
Jim's lips parted as he realized what Bones' intentions were, the change from the fire of anger to the fire of desire in his eyes. Jim's hands came up to start undoing the buttons on Bones' shirt and he lowered his head to meet Bones' lips.
Their torrid kiss broke when Jim was shoved back onto the bed. Bones stood over him, shirt undone, bare chest heaving. Jim licked his lips as he scooted back further along the bed, kicking his shoes off as he did so. While Bones still stood there, Jim reached up to start undoing his own shirt. Doing his own slow little strip tease, slowly releasing each button and widening the shirt until finally it lay open, his own chest now on display. He licked his tongue from one side of his top lip to the other.
Bones responded to this blatant invitation by joining Jim on the bed and making good use of his own tongue. He licked a path from just above Jim's jeans all the way up to his neck and the mark that he had made the night before, that Jim had conveniently kept covered up all day.
"Fuck, Bones, yes!" Jim cried as he wrapped a leg around Bones' to pull him down so that they were skin to skin. Jim then used his feet to help kick off Bones' shoes. The pair of them twisting and writhing their legs, arms and hands entwining and gripping.
Clothes were being removed and kisses exchanged. Even though Jim was underneath Bones, there was still a silent battle for who could get the other naked quickest.
When all that remained were their underwear, they both paused. Bones raised up on his arms, his biceps flexing as he looked down at Jim.
Jim glanced down their bodies towards the impressive tenting going on in both their pants.
"You know I had planned to fuck you, but I'm liking you like this," Jim said. "Wanna fuck me?" he asked with a little smile.
Bones agreed to the suggestion. Well, Jim was pretty sure he did. He never said anything, but if the kiss was anything to go by then Bones was definitely hot for the idea. Bones removing his and Jim's underwear quickly and efficiently was another hint. Mind you it wasn't easy and took a bit of wriggling around, but anything that brought more skin on skin contact was very welcome to Jim.
"You better have some lube," Bones murmured into his ear as he slid his cock up alongside Jim's.
Jim groaned at the feel of the hot smooth skin on his own, he then managed to laugh around his groan as the first words that Bones had spoken since he made the decision to sleep with him registered.
"Roll off me stud and I will get some supplies," Jim pushed at Bones chest.
Bones complied and rolled onto his back on the bed, arms crossing behind his head as he watched with heavy lidded eyes as Jim headed over to his bag.
It took Jim a moment to find his toiletries bag and the lube contained within. He turned back to the bed displaying the tube for Bones.
Jim swallowed as he allowed his gaze to start at Bones' head and trail it down his smooth chest, bathed in golden light from the sun. Down to the impressive erection that twitched as his gaze wandered over it.
"Is Mini Bones pleased to see me?" Jim asked. "Cause Big Jim is happy to see him."
"God, your ego kid!" Bones snorted as he glanced down at himself and then at Jim. "I think I need to do a serious eye test on you if you think I've got a Mini Bones and you are a Big Jim. Get that ass over here and I'll prove something to you."
"You'll prove something to me?" Jim asked as he stalked over to the bed, tossing the tube back and forth between his hands. "Promise?"
Jim had perched on the edge of the bed, just out of reach of Bones. He tossed the lube to land on Bones' chest.
Bones picked up the tube, flicked open the cap and squirted out a generous amount into his hand, then flipping the cap closed with his other hand he tossed it back to smack into Jim's chest.
It landed on the bedspread but Jim's attention was on the slicked fingers that were now working up and down on Bones' cock.
"You bastard," Jim accused. Breathing heavily he picked up the tube and like Bones, slicked up his own fingers, then he rose up higher on his knees and reached behind himself.
Jim started to moan as he opened and prepared himself. The rough initial burn giving way to a more pleasurable sensation the harder he worked the opening. No matter what he had said about a 'Mini Bones', he was fully aware that Bones was nicely endowed and it would take some working to get all of him into his ass. Jim's eyes closed as he tossed his head back when he managed to find his sweet spot.
The next thing he knew, the bed had dipped and as he opened his eyes Bones reached him and flipped him onto his stomach, lifted his hips up and spread his ass cheeks wide. Jim grabbed a pillow and shoved it under his hips, bringing his rear closer to Bones, so Bones took the invitation and started to push in.
"Yes," Jim drawled at the slow creep of intense pressure. No matter how slicked they both were, it was always going to be painful the first time.
Bones was holding tight onto Jim's hip, making new marks on him. This time it would be five small bruises created by his fingertips. His other hand was gripping almost as tight around the base of his own cock, slowly directing it in and making sure that he didn't do what he really wanted, which was to plunge fully in and start pounding away. All in good time.
"Bones! Just fucking do it!" Jim ordered.
"No," Bones responded as he slapped Jim on the ass. "Behave yourself, this is at my pace and you will damn well like it!"
"I like it too much, now hurry up," Jim wheedled.
Bones lent forward to press further in, moving both arms to brace himself just above Jim. He pressed nibbling kisses along all the slightly freckled skin of Jim's back as he inexorably pushed all the way in. He rested his now sweaty forehead down on Jim's back as he felt his ass adjust around his cock.
Jim twisted his head around, inviting a kiss and Bones complied. It was messy and off to the side mostly, due to the angle, but neither man cared. There was too much sensation happening in their nether regions.
Jim then pushed up higher, ordering Bones to move.
"You are a pushy bottom and I should punish you," Bones whispered in his ears, but then he started to move. Slow, inching out and then back in again with a steady pace that had Jim twitching underneath him.
Jim moved a hand back to grasp onto Bones' ass, trying to increase the speed.
"What were you going to prove to me Bones? That you only know how to fuck slowly? That you know how to torture me? What were you going to prove to me?" Jim dared.
"You want me to show you what I can prove to you?" Bones responded, breath hot and heavy over Jim's ear, that drawl even stronger than Jim had ever heard. Jim shivered at the thought that Bones might be able to make him come by his voice alone, but not now that Jim had his gorgeous cock in him and he did not want it to ever leave.
"This is what I will prove," Bones continued as he withdrew completely from Jim, but before Jim could protest he had him flipped on his back, his legs over Bones' shoulders and was pressing back in again. This time it was a full plunge straight in and Jim swore later that it was beginner's luck that had Bones hitting his prostrate.
"Well, Darlin'," Bones drawled in his ear as he withdrew almost all the way out before plunging back in again, not quite hitting the same spot again. But his voice and that name was enough to still make Jim shiver.
Jim growled in frustration and tried to tilt his hips up even higher.
"Darlin', I'm gonna make you scream," Bones promised and then set to work on making that promise come true.
Hard, and fast strokes, mostly hitting Jim's prostrate on each plunge. Faster he moved, legs shaking at the exertions he had to make to keep up the punishing pace. Jim was moaning audibly and in between he was able to get out the following sentence.
"No one," plunge, "has ever," slide, "manag-" plunge and bullseye, "-ged," slide, "it," plunge.
"Good," Bones responded, voice breaking. "About time I got to be a first."
The pace increased again and Jim's legs started to slide off Bones' shoulder, lolling open and boneless as the sensations continued to build.
"Well, Darlin'?" Bones asked as he straightened up his body, one hand holding Jim in place while he pounded into him and the other slid to Jim's neglected cock, causing Jim to whine at the back of his throat. "You gonna come for me?"
Jim's eyes opened at the request, then they snapped close as his neck arched, his mouth opened and Bones' promise came good. Jim did scream as Bones hit his poor prostrate for the second to last time. It slid against that taunt bundle of nerves and the little twist over the head as he stroked his cock was finally too much. Jim had tried to hold it in and not scream, but it was torn from him.
The pulsation of the muscles in his ass as he came were also the final straw for Bones, he remained seated inside Jim as he orgasmed as well. No scream from Bones, just a guttural, breathy exhalation of release.
Bones remained poised over Jim, cock still throbbing as Jim slowly came back down to earth. He wrapped one arm behind Bones' neck and pulled him down to plant a kiss on those lips that he had fantasied over for years.
Bones released his arms and flopped down onto Jim, making him deal with his considerable weight, smearing Jim's come all over their chests.
They lay like that, trying to catch their breaths until Bones started to feel his come leaking out of Jim, he slipped out and rolled over to his side.
"I'm disgusting," he said as he stroked one finger over his chest. "You're worse."
Jim smiled and grabbed Bones' hand as he pulled him off the bed and towards one of the doors that they had not opened yet. The first was to the expansive closet, and the second was the one they were after. The bathroom. Jim grinned as he pulled Bones over to the shower, both men's progress considerably lacking in grace due to the wobbly feeling of their legs. Jim turned on the water and got under the spray even before it had adjusted to the optimum temperature. There really was only so long you could stay standing while come leaked out your ass and down your legs before it became too uncomfortable. He pulled Bones into the shower with him, and it was generous enough space that they could both fit in there easily. Obviously designed to be shared.
They showered in silence, glances a little shy and nervous to start off with as they washed and cleaned and touched each other. More comfortable by the end as they towel dried themselves.
"Jim, I..." Bones started to say before he was stopped by Jim pressing his hand over his mouth.
"No," Jim told him ignoring the flash in Bones' eyes. "No recriminations, just accept that what happened happened. We'll just take this as it goes, ok?"
When Bones nodded his agreement, Jim removed his hand and started to walk out of the bathroom. He turned back to Bones in the doorway. "Next time though, I get to fuck you and make you scream." He smirked and quickly stepped to the side as a slightly damp towel came flying out of the bathroom to float down onto the floor of the bedroom.
***
The next few days were full of laughter, quiet times and just all around pleasant getting to know you experiences. Jim found out that not only was Bones' mother here, but his aunt and uncle lived in South Tahoe nearby. There was more family than he had ever known about Bones. Not once during their term breaks had Bones even attempted to come visit his mother and she was in the same state. Jim wanted to smack him upside the head. He didn't because he knew that Bones would just whack him one right back. If it meant that Jim sometimes made himself scarce and took Joanna with him so that mother and son had to spend time in each others company, well he would just do that. Joanna was as carefree and natural in Eleanora's presence as she was in her father's. Eleanora was a historian / tour guide at a local early 20th century grand house on Emerald Bay Lake. She often rented out the section that Jim and Bones were staying in as a bed and breakfast. She had used the sale from the family house in Atlanta to purchase this one and Jim's suspicion that Bones had come from wealth was finally confirmed with some of the stories that Eleanora told. And then there was the sex. Jim had a normally happy disposition but even so it would have been obvious to anyone that had a passing acquaintance with him that something was making him happier and more sated than he had ever been. He and Bones were well matched and if there was still a fight for dominance occurring in each of their bouts, it was a fight that both looked forward to. Jim was happy to be leading the tally by two at this current stage, although he was damned sure that Bones had something planned.
On the third night at Cascade Lake, after Joanna had been put to bed, Bones finally mentioned the real reason they were here, Joanna and her future. Jim got up to leave them to discuss the matter but Bones just gripped his arm and made him sit right back down again. Eleanora willingly agreed to help Bones fight for full custody of Joanna and started to plan her schooling and future. Joanna had enjoyed her time at the Lake and had even made some firm friends with twin boys of the lodge keepers who lived at the other end of the lake. When Bones went to collect the original court paperwork, Jim manned up and admitted to Eleanora that their "engagement" was faked due to Joanna mistaking a conversation she overheard. They couldn't hurt her and their pretense had been born. Jim told her he was sorry and that he was the main driving force behind it and that if he had caused any more pain to the McCoys, he would gladly do what he could to solve it.
While Jim sat there, waiting for Eleanora's disappointment to be revealed, he discovered that Bones wasn't the only McCoy with a sharp hook. Eleanora called him a damn fool and she could see that the only pain he could ever cause the McCoys would be if he stopped loving Leonard and she highly doubted that was going to happen anytime soon. She walked back to her chair, placed herself down in it and looked over to Jim, extolling him to make sure that this pretense became real. Bones returned to the living room to find Jim staring dumbfounded at his mother. Jim shut his mouth and went back to staring out at the moonlight reflecting on the lake. Bones shook his head at the confusion that was James T Kirk and started discussing the plan of action with his mother.
All their careful planning came for naught, when the following morning a message was waiting for Bones from Jocelyn's lawyers.
Bones stared at his mother and Jim in shock after he had read it. Joanna was oblivious to the byplay as she ate breakfast with her nose tucked in a book, carefully holding it away enough that there shouldn't be any spillage onto the book as she ate her cereal but close enough so that she could still read it. Bones passed over the message to his mother while he sought a cup of coffee. Jim waited, not so patiently to find out what it said. Neither McCoy spoke while they read the message or after it either and it was driving Jim crazy. At least he figured out that it was good news, when Eleanora looked over at her son and granddaughter, smiling at them both. She then included Jim in that happy smile as she handed over the message to him finally. The Judges ruling in relation to Joanna had been adjusted, full custody had been granted to Bones. Jim tossed the message on the table as he marched over to Bones, hauled him out of his chair and kissed him, his hands cradling Bones' face gently. They finally had Joanna's attention away from the book as she complained to her grandmother that they had been doing too much of that lately. Eleanora just patted Joanna on the cheek as she explained that they hadn't been doing it enough. Joanna just rolled her eyes at the weirdness of adults, although at least her Daddy and Jim were now just smiling stupidly at each other and no longer kissing and she gave her attention back to her book. There was a row boat involved and she had some ideas on what she and the twins could try today, completely unaware that she was the cause of the happiness of the three adults.
It took Jim another two days to build up the courage. For the man who had been described by one newspaper as the bravest man in the Universe, although Bones had sworn that was Standard for one right stupid dumb fuck with a hero complex, this was one leap that he was being very considered about. Funnily enough, it was Rascally that was the catalyst. Jim was standing on the balcony of the room, watching a swallow flit down to the water before arching up gracefully before circling back down again to skim the surface. Bones joined him, Rascally in his hands again. Jim smiled as he looked at the rabbit that he and Joanna continually kept putting in Bones' way. At the sight of the orange carrot heart, Jim's smile faded. He looked up seriously at Bones, at the man who now held his own heart in those surgeon's hands. And wasn't that a turn up for the books, that Jim had a heart to give and that someone would want it. Jim thought of Eleanora and Joanna. A family that he realized that Bones had brought him into. A family. Something Jim had been long craving but never thinking he would find again. To Bones he was just Jim, the dumb idiot who leaps before looking and needed telling off every now and again, but also his best friend in the world. To Joanna, he was Jim, another adult who adored her and let her be herself. The hero worship was mostly gone from her eyes and she just enjoyed someone to create mischief against her father and the twins with. Then there was Eleanora. Understanding, sad, witty Eleanora who had lost her son for many years and who now had him back but treated Jim like her own too. A family.
Jim took a deep breath and stepped close to Bones, close enough that he could grasp that damned rabbit.
"I, James Tiberius Kirk want you Leonard Horatio McCoy, in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer and until death do us part. Please Bones? Be mine?"
Jim lifted his hands up to rest on either side of Bones' face. Willing Bones to give the answer that Jim wanted to hear.
Bones stared at Jim, at the earnest too blue eyes pleading with him for an answer. Bones closed his eyes and a huff of breath escaped past his plump red lips, releasing one word out into the air between them.
"Yes."

Authors Notes
Well, this is finally over. Maybe. I might have plans for that rabbit....
Ok, I just thought I would thank all those that have read and those that have commented. Thank you very much and I am glad you enjoyed the story the boys and Joanna took us on. My friends know all about my desire and regular begging for comments I do to them, so you all have no idea how much I have appreciated your comments.
I thought I would also let you all in on how this little plot came about. The original prompt I really liked, apart from the one detail of it being Bones announcing he was engaged. I just couldn't make the Bones in my head do that. I kept trying but the bugger was just so stubborn about it, and then Joanna piped up and the rest is history. What I really liked about the Reboot was how the characters we knew from TOS still ended up together even with a different beginning. Even Pike ended up in a wheelchair, although able to speak and not beep is a bit of a bonus. So what does this have to do with this story? I knew about Joanna's, Bones' and Jocelyn's backstory in TOS, although most of it is from the novels etc and not 'canon' I still thought it was interesting and wanted to weave it into the reboot world. In TOS, Joanna grew up with her Aunt and Uncle from her father's side on Centarus and not with Jocelyn. Jocelyn in TOS novels is not the nicest woman out there but I knew I would have to tread carefully as I had seen some comments from people that they thought Jocelyn's portrayal by some authors as being misogynistic. You know what, some women are bitches, some guys are arseholes, that is just people. So I wanted to find a way for Joanna to be removed from Jocelyn and Clay and end up with Bones' family instead. The Aunt and Uncle mentioned in the fic are the two that Joanna ended up staying with in TOS. So she almost ends up with them, but I am sure that they will help out Eleanora to raise Joanna, even if it is in South Tahoe and not Centarus. :) I think there might be a few visits onto the Enterprise for Joanna in her near future, don't you? Who knows where that darned rabbit will end up, he seems the adventurous type. ;)
Again, thank you all and I hope you enjoyed the story.

Bones exited his room, that damned rabbit in his hands. Waiting just outside his door, in shorts, t-shirt and sneakers was Jim, just leaning casually against the wall. At the sight of the soft toy, Jim grinned.
"Aww Bones, Rascally wuvs you! He just can't stay away," Jim purred towards Bones.
"Don't you give me no sass, you damned infant. Now put him back where he belongs," Bones glared at him and shoved the toy into Jim's chest.
Jim brought a hand up quickly to land over the top of Bones', holding it and the rabbit in place. He continued to smile at Bones, but his eyes narrowed registering his intent to continue on from the night before.
"Just, don't Jim," Bones spoke quietly. "Not at the moment. Ok?"
Jim nodded and let go of Bones' hand.
"C'mon man, time for a run," he said slapping Bones on the shoulder and turning him around to head towards the stairs. Unbeknown to Bones, Jim tossed the rabbit back into Bones' room, as he passed, quickly making sure it landed safely on his bed, before joining his friend.
The pair exited the house, not seeing another soul, and started running. Bones set a strong pace, obviously using the run to work through some of his frustration. Jim, understanding his friend, kept quiet. Now was not a time to pester Bones out of his funk with many a light hearted quip or a stupid story.
They returned to the house, sweaty and well exercised. Both headed up to their respective rooms, still cloaked in comfortable silence.
Jim smiled as he heard the "God damn it Jim," from inside Bones' room as he took up the same spot in the corridor as he had earlier in the morning. Bones had obviously found Rascally again.
Bones opened his door as if it had personally offended him. Jim chuckled at his friend. The chuckle alerted Bones to Jim's presence, in jeans and a dark blue denim shirt.
Bones had learned from his last experience and didn't hand the rabbit over to Jim. He just marched straight past him and headed for Joanna's room. Once there he placed the rabbit down by her pillows and turned to leave the room. He had to squeeze past a smirking Jim, who was now lounging in the doorway.
Jim moved forward to crowd Bones up against the other side of the door frame, "can I talk to you yet?" Jim asked as he pressed a kiss to the spot just below Bones' ear.
Bones growled and pushed him away. "Not now Jim, after breakfast!"
Jim moved and led the way towards the kitchen. They entered to find Clay, Jocelyn and Joanna all seated at the table.
"Well lookie who finally decided to grace us with their presence! Sleep well after your 'exercise' last night, did you, Jimmy-boy?" Clay smirked over his coffee cup.
Jim had stayed standing while Bones slipped onto the chair next to Joanna. "Jimmy-boy?" He mouthed at Bones.
"Welcome to the South, Jim-Boy," Bones replied before turning to shoot a warning glare towards Clay.
"I slept just fine, had some more exercise just this morning too," Jim replied.
Clay slapped his hands down on the table and half rose out of his chair. "Now see here you stupid Yankee, not in my damned house you don't!"
Jim stepped away from the wall and towards the table, watching Bones lean over quietly to talk to Joanna, after she had jumped and looked scared at Clay's outburst.
Joanna slipped out of her chair and with a tentative smile at Jim, left the room.
"Devina, could you please go and help Joanna?" Bones asked while the tension simmered in the room. Devina closed the door behind her as she quickly left the room.
"How could you, Leonard? In my house, with Joanna sleeping not three doors away? You never did have any sense of decorum, you or that so called Captain of the Universe. Thankfully Clay was correct that Joanna needs to be sent away to school. She has too many McCoy habits ingrained in her that need to be seen to," Jocelyn hissed towards Bones.
Bones reached out to grab onto Jim's arm, stilling him from speaking.
"Me and that Captain of the fucking Universe are taking my daughter. I don't care what that damn judge had to say," Bones sternly told Jocelyn. "You already broke it allowing me to stay here while you and him gallivanted off trying to find a cure for his shooting blanks. Welcome to your empty life, Jocelyn. Oh yes, I know all about his little problem, don't you try and interrupt me. You think Ida-Mae is a gossip queen, you ain't heard medical staff go at it. The world might have moved on but Georgia is still Georgia and you ain't nothing if you can't carry on the family line. There is as much a cure for Clay as there was for my father. So, me, JoJo and Jim are leaving this damned house today. No matter what fool thoughts your Daddy and the rest of your family put in your head, money can not buy you happiness. We had plenty but it was never enough for you. I kept working hard cause you always wanted more. More things, more times when I should have been home. I couldn't win and I shoulda put my foot down. We both destroyed our marriage but I thank the Lord for it, cause you gave me one perfect thing, as Jim reminded me yesterday, Joanna. You fix that god damned ruling or else I will start talking to all those media outlets that have been begging me and Jim for 'statements'. You want to come up against me and the man who saved all your lives? You really think the public are gonna believe you? I can whip up such a storm that you'll never recover from. You'll never be able to hold your head up anywhere round here again! You know how much I hate to air my dirty laundry for all to see. I'll proudly hang it from the bloody Enterprise for Joanna."
Clay had stepped up behind Jocelyn while Bones had let fly at her. He opened his mouth to let loose onto the man he had enjoyed turning into a cuckold, but Bones got in first.
"Don't you say one fucking word," Bones pointed at Clay. "I will hit you again, no matter that my momma taught me to be polite in someone else's house. You hurt my little girl. Never again." With that Bones turned on his heel and stalked out the room, slamming the door open; he had said his piece.
At the opening of the door, Devina jumped back out of the way. "You get all that Devina?" Bones asked, one eyebrow raising as he crossed his arms to glare at the housekeeper. "Make sure to tell Ida-Mae that her beloved Clay is shooting blanks. No little Treadways to follow him into this world, 'cause that dog just won't hunt!" On that note Bones left the Treadway's and Jim behind.
Jim smiled towards the other two in the room with him. He lent forward to say quietly, "we went for a run this morning, good exercising it is."
Jim scampered from the room to catch up to Bones. He had to almost run across the foyer before he caught up to Bones on the stairs.
"Damn Bones, you are hot when you get riled!" He said as he came up behind him.
Bones stopped dead in his tracks to turn and roll his eyes at Jim. "God dammit Jim, I am not going to have sex with you." He turned away from Jim to continue up the stairs and around the corner.
"Curse some more, I never realized how much I love having you get angry." Jim's voice had dropped a few octaves as he watched the muscles in Bones' ass as he walked ahead of him.
It was the final straw for Bones and even though he didn't know where Jim was looking, the words were enough. He spun back around and pushed him into the wall, "you little motherfucker... god Jim!" Bones then did the unexpected, well the unexpected for Jim, he kissed him.
If Jim was asked later what the kiss was like he would have said that Bones just kissed the heck out of him. Hands all over, never still, both grappling and fighting and pure passion.
A cough interrupted the pair. They broke away to look towards the sound to see Joanna outside her bedroom door. "That's kinda gross," she told them.
Jim fondly laughed at the look on Joanna's face, he noted that Bones had dropped his head with a hint of embarrassment. Jim slipped out from Bones hold and walked over to Joanna. "Now which books have you packed, little lady? 'Cause you know what, I think you are going to need them all." Jim turned back towards Bones to smile at him before heading into Joanna's room to help her find as many bags as possible to pack all her books.
Bones paused as he contemplated the two people now in that room, both of them meaning a lot to him. He joined them to help in the packing.
***
Blessedly, the Treadway's kept out of their way and they had a pleasant trip from Roswell to Hartsfield-Jackson. Bones had contacted his mother and Joanna's excitement that she was going to stay with her grandma was uncontainable. There were tears welling in Devina's eyes as she said farewell and it seemed that Joanna didn't quite understand that her 'holiday' with her grandmother might end up being permanent.
Once at the airport, Jim headed off to arrange the tickets. Bones called out to him to wait, but Jim just breezily responded, "I know Bones, window seat," and kept heading over to the ticket counter.
A few silly games were needed to pass the time before their shuttle was called and they were heading off to Las Vegas. Transferring from there onto a smaller shuttle, again with Bones seated by the window and Joanna in between the two, they landed late in the afternoon at South Lake Tahoe airport. Waiting for the trio was an elegantly dressed older woman with striking green eyes.
"Grandma!" Joanna yelled, as she pulled out of Bones' grip to make a beeline for the woman, who was laughing and kneeling down to greet the child.
"I'll get the bags," Jim stated as he walked off towards the carousel, not giving Bones a chance to offer.
He watched quietly as the three McCoy's greeted each other and caught up. He smiled at the put upon expression on Bones' face whenever he was being addressed by his mother. But as soon as her attention was turned towards Joanna, there was such a softening on his face that Jim was determined to make sure stayed there for as long as possible.
As Jim joined them with the trolley and the bags, Bones smiled at him and introduced him to his mother. "This is Jim Kirk, my friend. Jim this is my mother, Eleanora McCoy."
"A pleasure to meet you Mrs McCoy." Jim greeted Eleanora before addressing Joanna. "So that is where you get that name from, squirt?"
"Yep, although my eyes aren't as pretty as Grandma's. Everyone knows Jim, Grandma. They kept stopping to talk to him," Joanna told them, babbling away as she held tight onto her grandmother's hand.
"Your eyes are very pretty, squirt. I like them, now why don't we head off just in case some other people decide to stop and talk to us again?" Jim said.
"Very well said, young man. Come along this way. LH, you bring the bags," Eleanora ordered her son.
"Yes, LH. Bring the bags!" Jim smirked as he pushed the trolley into Bones hand and offered his arm to Eleanora.
They drove out of the populated area and along a road that was sign posted Emerald Bay Road. Man made structures gave way to nature - pine trees and mountains and Lake Tahoe to the right. Jim sat back and allowed the conversation to flow over him. Before long they turned off onto Upper Cascade Lake Road and at the end of it, they puled up to a well maintained house overlooking the lake. It was split into two sections with a glass atrium linking them. Eleanora drove the car under the building into the garage area and ushered them upstairs.
"Now this way is where Joanna will be staying," she said as she pushed open a door to reveal a lovely room that contained a wall full of bookshelves. Empty and just waiting to be filled. "Why don't you unpack your bags, Joanna, and I think those shelves need some books in them."
Eleanora ushered the boys out of the room and over the glass walkway towards the other section of the house. She paused halfway over so that they could admire the view.
"I hope you are not referring to my granddaughter's height with your nickname of her?" She said to Jim.
Jim smiled as he responded, "not at all Mrs McCoy, young Joanna just happens to be remarkably proficient with a hose."
"Ah, a trick I do believe her father taught her. Please, call me Eleanora," she said as she continued the tour into the other side.
Once there, she walked down the central corridor and then opened a door at the end to reveal a master suite, with one large bed in the center, facing the windows and another superb view of the lake.
"Now this is your room, enjoy and Joanna and I will see you at dinner. Don't worry LH, there is a code on the interconnecting door of which Joanna does not have access." With a pat on the cheek of Bones and little sly smile and a wink at Jim, she left two speechless men in the room.
Jim was the first to break, laughing uproariously. "You know I've never had a parent tell me to have sex with their child before! Let along arrange a couple of hours privacy for that to occur."
"Oh for the love of Christ, my mother has seen those blasted news reports and thinks that you and I are, well, you know!" Bones growled as he dumped his bag on the ground and stalked over towards the windows.
Jim put his own bags down and walked over to the other man who was radiating tension.
"Well, we are, you know," Jim replied. "There is a relationship between us. Why not take your mother up on her offer of a nice relaxing couple of hours?"
"Christ's sake, Jim. It takes a while to build a relationship and one blow job does not count!" Bones resolutely refused to look at Jim.
Jim grabbed onto Bones' arm and made him turn to face him. "You and I have lived in each others pockets for three years and not managed to kill each other. We have a relationship. One that is a damn sight stronger than the one that ex-wife of yours has I can bet. Why not have the icing on the cake? I've wanted to bed you for a long time, but you were my friend first and most importantly. Well, we managed to do something pretty darn nice last night and it hasn't wrecked our friendship. The entire fucking world thinks we have been doing it for years. I say we listen to them and make this real, not pretend. I got you nice and hard up against that tree, I wanted to push you into that wall at the theater and fuck you blind and guess what? We have a big, soft bed over there and whether you like it or not I plan on making full use of it with you."
Jim finished his diatribe, fists clenched at his side. Panting hard as he waited to see what Bones' reaction would be.
Bones stared at him, eyes flashing with anger, before he growled and then reached up to grip Jim's arms. He tightened that grip and then walked Jim back towards the bed.
Jim's lips parted as he realized what Bones' intentions were, the change from the fire of anger to the fire of desire in his eyes. Jim's hands came up to start undoing the buttons on Bones' shirt and he lowered his head to meet Bones' lips.
Their torrid kiss broke when Jim was shoved back onto the bed. Bones stood over him, shirt undone, bare chest heaving. Jim licked his lips as he scooted back further along the bed, kicking his shoes off as he did so. While Bones still stood there, Jim reached up to start undoing his own shirt. Doing his own slow little strip tease, slowly releasing each button and widening the shirt until finally it lay open, his own chest now on display. He licked his tongue from one side of his top lip to the other.
Bones responded to this blatant invitation by joining Jim on the bed and making good use of his own tongue. He licked a path from just above Jim's jeans all the way up to his neck and the mark that he had made the night before, that Jim had conveniently kept covered up all day.
"Fuck, Bones, yes!" Jim cried as he wrapped a leg around Bones' to pull him down so that they were skin to skin. Jim then used his feet to help kick off Bones' shoes. The pair of them twisting and writhing their legs, arms and hands entwining and gripping.
Clothes were being removed and kisses exchanged. Even though Jim was underneath Bones, there was still a silent battle for who could get the other naked quickest.
When all that remained were their underwear, they both paused. Bones raised up on his arms, his biceps flexing as he looked down at Jim.
Jim glanced down their bodies towards the impressive tenting going on in both their pants.
"You know I had planned to fuck you, but I'm liking you like this," Jim said. "Wanna fuck me?" he asked with a little smile.
Bones agreed to the suggestion. Well, Jim was pretty sure he did. He never said anything, but if the kiss was anything to go by then Bones was definitely hot for the idea. Bones removing his and Jim's underwear quickly and efficiently was another hint. Mind you it wasn't easy and took a bit of wriggling around, but anything that brought more skin on skin contact was very welcome to Jim.
"You better have some lube," Bones murmured into his ear as he slid his cock up alongside Jim's.
Jim groaned at the feel of the hot smooth skin on his own, he then managed to laugh around his groan as the first words that Bones had spoken since he made the decision to sleep with him registered.
"Roll off me stud and I will get some supplies," Jim pushed at Bones chest.
Bones complied and rolled onto his back on the bed, arms crossing behind his head as he watched with heavy lidded eyes as Jim headed over to his bag.
It took Jim a moment to find his toiletries bag and the lube contained within. He turned back to the bed displaying the tube for Bones.
Jim swallowed as he allowed his gaze to start at Bones' head and trail it down his smooth chest, bathed in golden light from the sun. Down to the impressive erection that twitched as his gaze wandered over it.
"Is Mini Bones pleased to see me?" Jim asked. "Cause Big Jim is happy to see him."
"God, your ego kid!" Bones snorted as he glanced down at himself and then at Jim. "I think I need to do a serious eye test on you if you think I've got a Mini Bones and you are a Big Jim. Get that ass over here and I'll prove something to you."
"You'll prove something to me?" Jim asked as he stalked over to the bed, tossing the tube back and forth between his hands. "Promise?"
Jim had perched on the edge of the bed, just out of reach of Bones. He tossed the lube to land on Bones' chest.
Bones picked up the tube, flicked open the cap and squirted out a generous amount into his hand, then flipping the cap closed with his other hand he tossed it back to smack into Jim's chest.
It landed on the bedspread but Jim's attention was on the slicked fingers that were now working up and down on Bones' cock.
"You bastard," Jim accused. Breathing heavily he picked up the tube and like Bones, slicked up his own fingers, then he rose up higher on his knees and reached behind himself.
Jim started to moan as he opened and prepared himself. The rough initial burn giving way to a more pleasurable sensation the harder he worked the opening. No matter what he had said about a 'Mini Bones', he was fully aware that Bones was nicely endowed and it would take some working to get all of him into his ass. Jim's eyes closed as he tossed his head back when he managed to find his sweet spot.
The next thing he knew, the bed had dipped and as he opened his eyes Bones reached him and flipped him onto his stomach, lifted his hips up and spread his ass cheeks wide. Jim grabbed a pillow and shoved it under his hips, bringing his rear closer to Bones, so Bones took the invitation and started to push in.
"Yes," Jim drawled at the slow creep of intense pressure. No matter how slicked they both were, it was always going to be painful the first time.
Bones was holding tight onto Jim's hip, making new marks on him. This time it would be five small bruises created by his fingertips. His other hand was gripping almost as tight around the base of his own cock, slowly directing it in and making sure that he didn't do what he really wanted, which was to plunge fully in and start pounding away. All in good time.
"Bones! Just fucking do it!" Jim ordered.
"No," Bones responded as he slapped Jim on the ass. "Behave yourself, this is at my pace and you will damn well like it!"
"I like it too much, now hurry up," Jim wheedled.
Bones lent forward to press further in, moving both arms to brace himself just above Jim. He pressed nibbling kisses along all the slightly freckled skin of Jim's back as he inexorably pushed all the way in. He rested his now sweaty forehead down on Jim's back as he felt his ass adjust around his cock.
Jim twisted his head around, inviting a kiss and Bones complied. It was messy and off to the side mostly, due to the angle, but neither man cared. There was too much sensation happening in their nether regions.
Jim then pushed up higher, ordering Bones to move.
"You are a pushy bottom and I should punish you," Bones whispered in his ears, but then he started to move. Slow, inching out and then back in again with a steady pace that had Jim twitching underneath him.
Jim moved a hand back to grasp onto Bones' ass, trying to increase the speed.
"What were you going to prove to me Bones? That you only know how to fuck slowly? That you know how to torture me? What were you going to prove to me?" Jim dared.
"You want me to show you what I can prove to you?" Bones responded, breath hot and heavy over Jim's ear, that drawl even stronger than Jim had ever heard. Jim shivered at the thought that Bones might be able to make him come by his voice alone, but not now that Jim had his gorgeous cock in him and he did not want it to ever leave.
"This is what I will prove," Bones continued as he withdrew completely from Jim, but before Jim could protest he had him flipped on his back, his legs over Bones' shoulders and was pressing back in again. This time it was a full plunge straight in and Jim swore later that it was beginner's luck that had Bones hitting his prostrate.
"Well, Darlin'," Bones drawled in his ear as he withdrew almost all the way out before plunging back in again, not quite hitting the same spot again. But his voice and that name was enough to still make Jim shiver.
Jim growled in frustration and tried to tilt his hips up even higher.
"Darlin', I'm gonna make you scream," Bones promised and then set to work on making that promise come true.
Hard, and fast strokes, mostly hitting Jim's prostrate on each plunge. Faster he moved, legs shaking at the exertions he had to make to keep up the punishing pace. Jim was moaning audibly and in between he was able to get out the following sentence.
"No one," plunge, "has ever," slide, "manag-" plunge and bullseye, "-ged," slide, "it," plunge.
"Good," Bones responded, voice breaking. "About time I got to be a first."
The pace increased again and Jim's legs started to slide off Bones' shoulder, lolling open and boneless as the sensations continued to build.
"Well, Darlin'?" Bones asked as he straightened up his body, one hand holding Jim in place while he pounded into him and the other slid to Jim's neglected cock, causing Jim to whine at the back of his throat. "You gonna come for me?"
Jim's eyes opened at the request, then they snapped close as his neck arched, his mouth opened and Bones' promise came good. Jim did scream as Bones hit his poor prostrate for the second to last time. It slid against that taunt bundle of nerves and the little twist over the head as he stroked his cock was finally too much. Jim had tried to hold it in and not scream, but it was torn from him.
The pulsation of the muscles in his ass as he came were also the final straw for Bones, he remained seated inside Jim as he orgasmed as well. No scream from Bones, just a guttural, breathy exhalation of release.
Bones remained poised over Jim, cock still throbbing as Jim slowly came back down to earth. He wrapped one arm behind Bones' neck and pulled him down to plant a kiss on those lips that he had fantasied over for years.
Bones released his arms and flopped down onto Jim, making him deal with his considerable weight, smearing Jim's come all over their chests.
They lay like that, trying to catch their breaths until Bones started to feel his come leaking out of Jim, he slipped out and rolled over to his side.
"I'm disgusting," he said as he stroked one finger over his chest. "You're worse."
Jim smiled and grabbed Bones' hand as he pulled him off the bed and towards one of the doors that they had not opened yet. The first was to the expansive closet, and the second was the one they were after. The bathroom. Jim grinned as he pulled Bones over to the shower, both men's progress considerably lacking in grace due to the wobbly feeling of their legs. Jim turned on the water and got under the spray even before it had adjusted to the optimum temperature. There really was only so long you could stay standing while come leaked out your ass and down your legs before it became too uncomfortable. He pulled Bones into the shower with him, and it was generous enough space that they could both fit in there easily. Obviously designed to be shared.
They showered in silence, glances a little shy and nervous to start off with as they washed and cleaned and touched each other. More comfortable by the end as they towel dried themselves.
"Jim, I..." Bones started to say before he was stopped by Jim pressing his hand over his mouth.
"No," Jim told him ignoring the flash in Bones' eyes. "No recriminations, just accept that what happened happened. We'll just take this as it goes, ok?"
When Bones nodded his agreement, Jim removed his hand and started to walk out of the bathroom. He turned back to Bones in the doorway. "Next time though, I get to fuck you and make you scream." He smirked and quickly stepped to the side as a slightly damp towel came flying out of the bathroom to float down onto the floor of the bedroom.
***
The next few days were full of laughter, quiet times and just all around pleasant getting to know you experiences. Jim found out that not only was Bones' mother here, but his aunt and uncle lived in South Tahoe nearby. There was more family than he had ever known about Bones. Not once during their term breaks had Bones even attempted to come visit his mother and she was in the same state. Jim wanted to smack him upside the head. He didn't because he knew that Bones would just whack him one right back. If it meant that Jim sometimes made himself scarce and took Joanna with him so that mother and son had to spend time in each others company, well he would just do that. Joanna was as carefree and natural in Eleanora's presence as she was in her father's. Eleanora was a historian / tour guide at a local early 20th century grand house on Emerald Bay Lake. She often rented out the section that Jim and Bones were staying in as a bed and breakfast. She had used the sale from the family house in Atlanta to purchase this one and Jim's suspicion that Bones had come from wealth was finally confirmed with some of the stories that Eleanora told. And then there was the sex. Jim had a normally happy disposition but even so it would have been obvious to anyone that had a passing acquaintance with him that something was making him happier and more sated than he had ever been. He and Bones were well matched and if there was still a fight for dominance occurring in each of their bouts, it was a fight that both looked forward to. Jim was happy to be leading the tally by two at this current stage, although he was damned sure that Bones had something planned.
On the third night at Cascade Lake, after Joanna had been put to bed, Bones finally mentioned the real reason they were here, Joanna and her future. Jim got up to leave them to discuss the matter but Bones just gripped his arm and made him sit right back down again. Eleanora willingly agreed to help Bones fight for full custody of Joanna and started to plan her schooling and future. Joanna had enjoyed her time at the Lake and had even made some firm friends with twin boys of the lodge keepers who lived at the other end of the lake. When Bones went to collect the original court paperwork, Jim manned up and admitted to Eleanora that their "engagement" was faked due to Joanna mistaking a conversation she overheard. They couldn't hurt her and their pretense had been born. Jim told her he was sorry and that he was the main driving force behind it and that if he had caused any more pain to the McCoys, he would gladly do what he could to solve it.
While Jim sat there, waiting for Eleanora's disappointment to be revealed, he discovered that Bones wasn't the only McCoy with a sharp hook. Eleanora called him a damn fool and she could see that the only pain he could ever cause the McCoys would be if he stopped loving Leonard and she highly doubted that was going to happen anytime soon. She walked back to her chair, placed herself down in it and looked over to Jim, extolling him to make sure that this pretense became real. Bones returned to the living room to find Jim staring dumbfounded at his mother. Jim shut his mouth and went back to staring out at the moonlight reflecting on the lake. Bones shook his head at the confusion that was James T Kirk and started discussing the plan of action with his mother.
All their careful planning came for naught, when the following morning a message was waiting for Bones from Jocelyn's lawyers.
Bones stared at his mother and Jim in shock after he had read it. Joanna was oblivious to the byplay as she ate breakfast with her nose tucked in a book, carefully holding it away enough that there shouldn't be any spillage onto the book as she ate her cereal but close enough so that she could still read it. Bones passed over the message to his mother while he sought a cup of coffee. Jim waited, not so patiently to find out what it said. Neither McCoy spoke while they read the message or after it either and it was driving Jim crazy. At least he figured out that it was good news, when Eleanora looked over at her son and granddaughter, smiling at them both. She then included Jim in that happy smile as she handed over the message to him finally. The Judges ruling in relation to Joanna had been adjusted, full custody had been granted to Bones. Jim tossed the message on the table as he marched over to Bones, hauled him out of his chair and kissed him, his hands cradling Bones' face gently. They finally had Joanna's attention away from the book as she complained to her grandmother that they had been doing too much of that lately. Eleanora just patted Joanna on the cheek as she explained that they hadn't been doing it enough. Joanna just rolled her eyes at the weirdness of adults, although at least her Daddy and Jim were now just smiling stupidly at each other and no longer kissing and she gave her attention back to her book. There was a row boat involved and she had some ideas on what she and the twins could try today, completely unaware that she was the cause of the happiness of the three adults.
It took Jim another two days to build up the courage. For the man who had been described by one newspaper as the bravest man in the Universe, although Bones had sworn that was Standard for one right stupid dumb fuck with a hero complex, this was one leap that he was being very considered about. Funnily enough, it was Rascally that was the catalyst. Jim was standing on the balcony of the room, watching a swallow flit down to the water before arching up gracefully before circling back down again to skim the surface. Bones joined him, Rascally in his hands again. Jim smiled as he looked at the rabbit that he and Joanna continually kept putting in Bones' way. At the sight of the orange carrot heart, Jim's smile faded. He looked up seriously at Bones, at the man who now held his own heart in those surgeon's hands. And wasn't that a turn up for the books, that Jim had a heart to give and that someone would want it. Jim thought of Eleanora and Joanna. A family that he realized that Bones had brought him into. A family. Something Jim had been long craving but never thinking he would find again. To Bones he was just Jim, the dumb idiot who leaps before looking and needed telling off every now and again, but also his best friend in the world. To Joanna, he was Jim, another adult who adored her and let her be herself. The hero worship was mostly gone from her eyes and she just enjoyed someone to create mischief against her father and the twins with. Then there was Eleanora. Understanding, sad, witty Eleanora who had lost her son for many years and who now had him back but treated Jim like her own too. A family.
Jim took a deep breath and stepped close to Bones, close enough that he could grasp that damned rabbit.
"I, James Tiberius Kirk want you Leonard Horatio McCoy, in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer and until death do us part. Please Bones? Be mine?"
Jim lifted his hands up to rest on either side of Bones' face. Willing Bones to give the answer that Jim wanted to hear.
Bones stared at Jim, at the earnest too blue eyes pleading with him for an answer. Bones closed his eyes and a huff of breath escaped past his plump red lips, releasing one word out into the air between them.
"Yes."

Authors Notes
Well, this is finally over. Maybe. I might have plans for that rabbit....
Ok, I just thought I would thank all those that have read and those that have commented. Thank you very much and I am glad you enjoyed the story the boys and Joanna took us on. My friends know all about my desire and regular begging for comments I do to them, so you all have no idea how much I have appreciated your comments.
I thought I would also let you all in on how this little plot came about. The original prompt I really liked, apart from the one detail of it being Bones announcing he was engaged. I just couldn't make the Bones in my head do that. I kept trying but the bugger was just so stubborn about it, and then Joanna piped up and the rest is history. What I really liked about the Reboot was how the characters we knew from TOS still ended up together even with a different beginning. Even Pike ended up in a wheelchair, although able to speak and not beep is a bit of a bonus. So what does this have to do with this story? I knew about Joanna's, Bones' and Jocelyn's backstory in TOS, although most of it is from the novels etc and not 'canon' I still thought it was interesting and wanted to weave it into the reboot world. In TOS, Joanna grew up with her Aunt and Uncle from her father's side on Centarus and not with Jocelyn. Jocelyn in TOS novels is not the nicest woman out there but I knew I would have to tread carefully as I had seen some comments from people that they thought Jocelyn's portrayal by some authors as being misogynistic. You know what, some women are bitches, some guys are arseholes, that is just people. So I wanted to find a way for Joanna to be removed from Jocelyn and Clay and end up with Bones' family instead. The Aunt and Uncle mentioned in the fic are the two that Joanna ended up staying with in TOS. So she almost ends up with them, but I am sure that they will help out Eleanora to raise Joanna, even if it is in South Tahoe and not Centarus. :) I think there might be a few visits onto the Enterprise for Joanna in her near future, don't you? Who knows where that darned rabbit will end up, he seems the adventurous type. ;)
Again, thank you all and I hope you enjoyed the story.
