Luckily they didn’t have to actually plan the whole thing, since Uhura jumped at the opportunity to organize a wedding and took over invitations, reservations, dinner plans and everything else with a crazy, crazy look in her eyes. So, Jim and Spock have only to show up. Well, okay, and dress nicely, but that’s kinda obvious.
Jim tugs on his tuxedo (he was adamant that no way in hell would he wear his stupid dress uniform, and amazingly, Uhura let him win this fight) and tries to subdue his panic. Spock in his formal Vulcan robes looks regal and imposing and also really hot. He touches Jim’s hand briefly in a Vulcan kiss. The contact tingles and over the bond Jim can feel Spock’s love and joy, his slight nervousness and his all-encompassing love. Jim takes a deep breath and smiles at his Vulcan. He can do this. He wants to do this.
They walk along the aisle, amidst the mass of friends and relatives, and Starfleet brass, and there’s Pike and Number One, and Sarek and the elder Spock, there’s T’Pau and Admiral Komack with his new beagle. There are Scotty and Sulu and Chekov, and Cupcake and Chapel and almost all of his crew. Behind him walk Bones and Sam, and Uhura and Gaila, and Spock reaches for him, and they walk along the aisle, hand in hand.
The food is great, everybody is laughing, and even Spock smiles a bit. Bones gives a speech about how Jim and Spock met - luckily heavily censored, because neither Spock nor Jim want everybody to know exactly how that went - and clears his throat a lot when he talks about their friendship. Jim blushes and blinks furiously, and Spock takes his hand and looks at Bones with shining eyes.
Sam hugs him and flicks Jim’s ear, his mother smiles at him with tears in her eyes. He was a little bit wary when he heard she was coming, but when she hugs him tightly, he finds that he’s glad she is there.
Sarek looks kinda constipated, but calls him k'war'ma'khon, as close as family, so it’s okay. The Elder Spock crinkles his eyes at him and gives him a brief hug, eyes twinkling at his Spock’s quiet growl. T’Pau regards him imperiously and informs him she expects Jim on New Vulcan shortly for his introduction into Vulcan customs, since his duties within their family include attending all major family occasions as Spock’s spouse. Then she pats his head and congratulates Spock on finding such a pleasant and well-mannered mate. Jim closes his gaping mouth when Spock elbows him and stutters a thank-you.
Uhura has finally stopped crying (“Shut up, Kirk! I’m happy!” she had said, and smacked his arm) and Scotty apparently has mustered enough courage - or drunk enough - to approach her and ask her for a dance. Bones’ face is flushed with excitement as he tells two twin cousins of Spock about space-diseases, the two Vulcan ladies watch him attentively and follow every sweeping gesture. Gaila and Sulu and Chekov have already disappeared to God-knows-where, and Cupcake and Chapel waltz a wide path through the other dancers.
Spock’s scary Uncle Gabriel, who glared at Jim the whole evening with his scary eyebrows narrows his scary eyes at him over the head of his pretty blond girlfriend, but Spock gives him a Vulcan kiss and tells him Uncle Gabriel is simply eccentric. Jim’s not sure he believes that, because earlier Spock’s Uncle smirked at him from across the room and fondled his knife, but Spock loves him and Uncle Gabriel loves Spock, so he’ll deal.
Spock doesn’t dance - thank God - so they watch the other couples. Jim helps his nephew Peter paint a colorful picture (Vulcan faces are colored green, obviously, and Bones’ face red), while Spock holds Sam’s baby girl who watches him curiously. Jim thinks Spock looks great with a six month old in his arms, but the speculative look his Vulcan gives him while holding a baby creeps him out a little, so he’s glad when Sam and Aurelan return.
They open a lot of presents, from funny - a life-long coupon for injection with various hypos whenever Jim “feels like it” - to weird (seriously, who wears wrist-watches anymore?) to very useful - plans on how Scotty and the rest of his crew will rebuild their quarters while Jim and Spock are on their honey moon - and thank everyone for their attending.
Finally, the guests start to leave, and Jim and Spock are able to retreat to their room.
On the way there they stumble across Bones, who tries to hide behind the Vulcan twins who have his fingers in their mouths. Jim grins and gives him a thumbs-up while Spock raises an eyebrow at the blushing trio, one red and two green, before he yanks Jim back on their path towards the honey moon suite.
The room is gorgeous, wide and open, full of comfy armchairs and couches and soft light. The balcony presents a beautiful view across the ocean, a gentle breeze lets the curtains flutter and the bed has silk sheets. They undress each other slowly, stealing kisses and feather-light touches. They tumble onto the bed, Jim laughs a lot and Spock looks at him with tiny curls at the corners of his mouth and glowing eyes.
They kiss some more, touch each other softly and make love under the light of the stars, their first night as newly-weds. They sleep and they wake, as Jim and Spock, as friends and lovers, as husbands, as t’hy’la, parted from each other, and never parted. Never and always touching and touched.
-----
Their second wedding on New Vulcan is somewhat hasty. Quick beam-down, quick ceremony, and then practically running towards their appointed rooms. Well, as much as Spock can run while being so aroused he can barely stand. The Pon Farr runs its course, and after seven days Spock is finally satisfied. Jim would be, too, but he broke his pelvis. Again. Thank God it’s only once every seven years. A time of many “claimings”, indeed.
The End… Forever and ever! I will not write a sequel! I WILL NOT! ;-)
EDIT: Okay, so I lied... Bones deserved some love because I made him suffer so much, so I wrote another little fic. Erm. Also there's an addition or two to Kirk's and Spock's little family.
