Private to Jim Kirk (
original_fine):
I thought you'd like to know that I heard back from my parents, re: them becoming grandparents in the not-too-distant future. They're not what I'd describe as ecstatic about it, but they're not angry or anything, either. No chance of my being disowned or something like that. They want me to let them know as soon as I do where I'll be for my third trimester, in case one or both of them can be with me for the delivery and hopefully a week or two after.
I don't exactly forget how much I love my parents, normally, but it's not always at the forefront of my mind. And then they say or do something like this, and... Well. I love my parents. I'm lucky to have them.
So that's one concern assuaged. But in case you're short on things to worry about, Pike's not in the universe anymore, and left Spock behind. You can imagine how well that's going. He indicated that he intends to return, but of course there's no real assurance in that - anything could happen to prevent it. Spock's not in great shape, but he's doing okay. He's eating and sleeping and so on, anyway.
But when you get this, I think he'd like to hear from you. He feels very alone.
I am not feeling particularly alone, especially since I've had Spock attached to me like some kind of Vulcan limpet, but I'd like to hear from you anyway, too. But far less urgently. I just want to chat and maybe cuddle. And maaaybe get naked. Fair warning.
