In the future, Jim will have a quiet secret he’s too wounded to share.
“Did I ever tell you about my little girl?” McCoy swirls the bourbon in his glass around, staring through it and into far away Georgia.
Kirk isn’t sure if he wants to talk about this. “No, you haven’t.”
“She’ll be turning ten this year. It’s been two years since I last held her.”
Jim nods, quiet and solemn. “That’s too long.”
“It’s going to be five years before we’re on Earth again. She’ll be 15 then…”
Jim doesn’t nod this time, just stares into the distance.
“And she’s got a new father. Boils my blood that he gets to play father to my little girl.” McCoy shakes his head in resentful disgust.
Jim tips his head and smiles this time. “Don't worry, a step-father is never a replacement for the real one.” His eyes meet McCoy's. “They’re just stuck up assholes you hate.”
The doctor laughs, but looks away. “You got the asshole part down. Don’t know what Jocelyn sees in that man. Not sure what I ever saw in her for that matter.”
“Your first pair of boobs?”
“Jim!”
Kirk grins. “Come’on, be honest. Were they the first pair you ever saw?” He twitches an eyebrow lewdly.
The corner of McCoy’s mouth quirks in humor. “Second. Used to see Scarlet Ridges undress with her blinds open. I think she liked the attention.”
“But see, it was your first pair up close! And then you’re hooked, until you suddenly find yourself married.”
“And who was your first pair?”
“Lucy Smith, in fifth grade.”
McCoy’s jaw drops. “Jesus Jim! How young were you?!”
The captain should not look so smug. “Young and proud.”
“Honestly. Was this up close?” McCoy shook his head incredulously.
Jim was still grinning, though it fades with just a hint of shame. “You betcha. Talked her into it, though she was as nervous and excited as me, really. We didn’t know what we were doing, so we just took our clothes off and touched each other’s ‘special’ parts. I thought I had lost my virginity!” Jim laughed at himself. “I bragged to everyone, though I didn’t go all the way ‘til, well, later.”
Bones was quiet, mussing. “I had fantasies at that age. Wasn’t sticking my hand down a girl’s skirt, though. Jocelyn was my first. I was seventeen and it was our prom night. Though she wasn’t…my only. I did go out several times, while we were still married. It was after she wouldn’t let me sleep with her, frigid whor- bitch. When was your first time?”
Jim actually hesitates on this. “Well, it was, well, I was 15.”
McCoy shook his head again. “Too young. But at least you weren’t 12.”
“Hey, I had plenty of naked make out sessions at 12. Just no full ‘penis goes in the hole’ experience.”
“Too damn young.”
Kirk quirks his lip, but it really wasn’t a smile. Just a sad, wistful expression. “Yeah, I might have run into things too fast. It was too exciting to be cautious. Caused a lot of…trouble, in the end.”
Bones nods, and slowly closes his eyes, breathes out. “A lot of fucking trouble, just to stick your dick somewhere soft. Ain’t worth it. Well…except for Joanna.”
Jim is quiet for a long moment. “…would you do it all over again for her?”
“Yes. Over and over, every frustrating, painful moment.” The certainty in Bones’ voice doesn’t make Kirk feel better.
“Yeah…” Jim leans back to stare through the ceiling, into the past. “You get to talk to her, right?”
“Yeah, I call her. Talk with her every week or so on the vid. She’s grown too quickly.”
Jim sighs. “Must be nice to talk to her. See her.”
“Be nicer if I had my god damn daughter.”
“Yeah.”
