Chapter 1
Jim's finding
Jim grimaced as he pulled the dusty box from its resting place. His mother had asked if Jim could maybe clean out the attic for her while he was in town. As he moved the box he accidentally knocked a book off of the shelf. Sighing Jim put the box down and picked up the leather bound book, a small note was on the front of it. It read:
My dearest friend Wionna or perhaps this is James or Samuel,
Any way it does not matter which of you is reading this, just as long as you do as I ask. Please give this book to my son, Spock. If you do not know him then take this to Commander Christopher Pike. Any way James if you so wish you may read this for you asked me once how I had met my husband Sarek. Well my dear James this is how we met.
Amanda Grayson
"Jim?" Nyota called as she and the rest of the bridge crew walked in.
"Just a minute. Hey where is Spock?" Jim asked glancing around.
"I am right here Captain." Spock said stepping out of the kitchen.
"Jesus Christ Spock! Don't scare me like that." Jim said nearly dropping the leather bound book in his hands.
"I promise you that was not my intention James." Spock said, barely hiding the amusement in his eyes.
"What's that ya got jimmy?" Leonard McCoy asked gesturing to the book.
"If I said that I had a book that contained a story written by one of our mothers about how they met one of our fathers would you guys like to read it?" Jim asked with a grin.
"Absolutely." Sulu said grinning.
"No matter whose parents it is?" Jim asked with a grin of his own.
"No matter whose parents it is Jim." Christine Chapel said with a smile.
"Whose parents is it?" Nyota asked with a smile.
"Here read this." Jim said passing Nyota the note that had been attached to the book.
"My dearest friend Wionna or perhaps this is James or Samuel,
Any way it does not matter which of you is reading this, just as long as you do as I ask. Please give this book to my son, Spock. If you do not know him then take this to Commander Christopher Pike. Any way James if you so wish you may read this for you asked me once how I had met my husband Sarek. Well my dear James this is how we met.
Amanda Grayson" Nyota finished reading and looked at Spock.
"So what do you guys think?" Jim asked with a smile.
"If we are to read it captain then I think you should read it to us." Spock said softly. Jim glanced at him and nodded. Grinning everyone took a seat as Jim opened the book to the first page.
