Really liked it. Would be awesome if you'd do a follow-up story where years later Jim meets his mother (for whatever reason) and this was mentioned.

Okay, big uh oh here, the Enterprise wasn't built much less flying through space with Pike on board when Jim was on Tarsus IV. NCC 1701 was being built in ST2009.

Well done. This is actually almost exactly how I pictured her reacting to the news.
