Four Years Later…
Olivia felt a small hand on her wrist. Her eyes opened slowly and she wiped them tiredly. When the blurriness faded she came face to face with her teary eyed son. The sleepiness faded and Olivia sat up quickly.
"What's wrong Gray?" she asked, worry filling her voice.
The little boy wiped his eyes.
"Please don't tell dad I cried," he said in a small whisper.
Olivia's eyes softened.
"Was it another nightmare?" she asked him gently.
He nodded slowly. Olivia turned to the side to see Spock not there. This was a common occurrence. He usually went to the bridge early to help out Kirk. In the past four years it seemed they now confided in each other as best friends. Olivia was happy he went to keep Kirk some company. Her shift didn't start until several hours from now.
"Alright, hop in," she said scooting over.
Grayson climbed in quickly and pulled the covers up to his chin. Olivia kissed his forehead sweetly.
"Sweet dreams now Gray," she said and the little boy nodded and was fast asleep within seconds.
Olivia watched her little boy sleep soundly. She softly brushed some of his hair with her hand. She yawned. She'd admire him some more tomorrow when they were both awake. She lay down and threw her arm over him. He seemed to magnetically be pulled towards her and cuddled against her chest. Soon Olivia joined him in sleep.
Some Hours Later…
Spock walked down the corridor to his quarters. Since Grayson was born they got a room together. It was big with two bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen, and a living room. Spock pressed his hand against the door scanner and it opened quickly. He walked across the main room to his son's room first. When he saw his son was not in there he sighed. He walked to his room and stopped by the door. He smiled slightly seeing his son cuddled against his mother, the two sleeping soundly. He walked over to them and sat down on the bed. Olivia's eyes immediately opened and she looked up.
"Good morning," Spock said kindly.
Olivia wiped the sleep from her eyes.
"Good morning," she said and then looked down at the sleeping bundle next to her.
"Did he have another nightmare?" Spock asked frowning.
Olivia nodded.
"I think it was the same one he's been having for a while now. He still refuses to talk about it fully," she said rubbing her son's cheek softly.
Spock nodded.
"I will speak with him about it later," he said quietly.
Olivia agreed.
"The crew is having breakfast in the mess hall today. Would you like for us to join them?" he asked looking down at his sleeping son.
"Sure, you know Grayson loves when we all eat breakfast together," she said smiling.
Spock smiled slightly too. He gently woke Grayson up while Olivia ran a quick shower. Grayson opened his bright green eyes to stare at his father. He smiled.
"Good morning father," he said wiping his eyes.
"Good morning Grayson, how did you sleep?" he asked and Grayson's smile faded.
"It was okay…" he mumbled.
Spock watched as Grayson sat up and looked at the sheets.
"I had the nightmare again," he said in almost a whisper.
Spock nodded.
"Why will you not let me mind meld and see what it is that has you so troubled?" he asked gently.
Grayson shook his head. He gave the same answer he always gave when Spock asked for the mind meld.
"I can't let you see it yet," he said softly.
Spock nodded.
"Alright, but when you can, I would like to help you," he said rubbing his son's head affectionately.
Grayson smiled.
"You will."
Olivia came out of the shower then. She had a towel wrapped around her body and hair.
"Bath is ready Gray," she said and Grayson grinned running into the bathroom.
He liked bath time.
Spock watched as Olivia let the towel that held up her hair, fall to the ground. It had gotten so long these past few years. It now fell to the middle of her back in dark brown locks. He loved when she let her hair down, which wasn't often. Usually it was pulled back into a ponytail or bun. Today she let her fingers roam through her hair and turned to him.
"I think I'll leave it down for a while," she said smiling.
Spock stood up and walked over to her.
"I take great pleasure in seeing your hair not professionally pulled back," he said and she laughed.
"Well then I'll have to let it down more often won't I?" she giggled and kissed him, still chuckling.
Spock returned the kiss happily, smiling against her face as she chuckled. Olivia turned around and finished dressing in her uniform. She decided to wear her pant uniform today. Grayson came out of the bathroom. Olivia laughed hysterically. Spock smirked. Grayson had apparently tried to dress himself. He wasn't too good at it. Olivia went over to him.
"Nice try baby, but let's leave the dressing to the grown ups for now okay?" she said still chuckling.
Grayson sighed and nodded.
"I tried," he said and Olivia pulled his chin up softly.
"And that's all that matters," she said and Grayson smiled.
"Breakfast?" Spock said softly and Grayson grinned.
"Yeah!"
In the Mess Hall…
As soon as Grayson entered the mess hall he ran to Kirk.
"Uncle Jim!" he yelled and Kirk spun around grinning.
"Little man!" he yelled as Grayson ran into his arms hugging him.
Kirk scooped him up and continued getting his food. Spock joined them and started getting food for Grayson. Kirk and Spock started talking some while Grayson listened. Olivia sat down across from Emily. She wasn't too hungry. She watched as Emily smiled at Kirk and Grayson.
"He's good with him," Olivia said eyeing Emily.
"Huh?" Emily said coming out of her daze.
Olivia chuckled.
"James…he's good with Grayson," she reiterated.
Emily blushed.
"He is isn't he?" she said trying to hide her blush.
Olivia nodded.
"Are you thinking about if he'd be good with one of his own?" she asked carefully.
Emily almost choked on her cereal.
"N-No, not at all, I was just surprised. He never really talked about kids much so I didn't think he'd be so good with them," she said quietly.
Olivia thought for a moment.
"Well Em, it's perfectly normal if you're thinking about kids with him. It's been four years," she said smirking.
Emily sighed and nodded.
"I don't know how to approach the topic," she admitted shyly.
Olivia smiled.
"Just be straight with him. He's an ass most of the time…but he's serious when he has to be," she said softly.
Emily nodded.
"I know that. I was shocked when he wanted to have an actual relationship with me, but kids?" she muttered.
"It's been four years!" Olivia reminded her.
Emily laughed.
"I know I know! I'm considering it. I don't want to bring anything up until I'm sure about it myself," she said firmly.
Olivia nodded.
"I agree. That's probably the smartest move," she said and Bones sat down next to her.
"What's the smartest move?" Bones asked.
Olivia shook her head.
"It's just girl talk Bones," she said and Bones made a face.
"Not at the table please," he groaned and both girls laughed.
Lt. Riley came and sat next to Bones.
"Hey Claire," Emily and Olivia said together and Claire smiled in return.
Finally Spock and Kirk joined the table. Kirk sat next to Emily and Spock sat on the other end of Olivia. Grayson sat next to his dad. They all began eating quietly while having some small talk here and there. Scotty came into the mess hall. He was covered in soot. Everyone looked to him. He looked at Emily.
"Lt. Roads, I need your assistance immediately. We have a possible mechanical problem in one of the Jefferies Tubes," he said out of breath.
Emily took one last bite of her cereal before standing.
"See you guys later," she said glancing at Kirk for moment longer and exiting with Scotty.
Kirk watched her go before returning back to his food. Olivia was about to say something when Uhura came in.
"Commander Monroe we have a problem with one of the transmitters, all I'm getting is static and I can't hear anything," she said frustrated.
Olivia stood up and turned to Grayson who grinned and swallowed the last of his food.
"I'm coming too!" he yelled standing and grabbing her hand.
Kirk turned to Uhura.
"Do you think it's serious?" he asked quietly.
Uhura shook her head.
"All I'm getting is static. Until Commander Monroe and I can remove the static and place the language…I can't be sure," she said and he nodded.
"Keep me posted," he said to Olivia and she nodded.
