"Logic, logic, logic! I'm sick to death of logic!" Amanda shouted, venting her frustrations at her husband Sarek and their son, Spock, as they lay there in sickbay. Her husband was recovering from his operation, while Spock recovered from the drugs used to enable him to donate enough blood for it.

"Emotional, isn't she?" Spock said to his father.

"Quite," Sarek confirmed.

"Then why did you marry her?" Spock asked, quirking a delicate eyebrow at his father.

"It was the logical thing to do at the time," Sarek deadpanned. He held out his index and middle finger to her in a very Vulcan sign of affection

Amanda sighed as she returned the gesture. Her husband Sarek could be so annoyingly and frustratingly logical that she wanted to throttle him, and yet, there were times like this when his eyes twinkled with repressed amusement while he teased her about her emotional outburst. Shaking her head at him, she wished that just once, he would throw taboo out the window and let his lips curve upwards in a playful smirk. When she thought about it, her son Spock was just as bad. His only saving grace was that he had never made a habit out of teasing her, only occasionally joining in with his father, despite their strained relationship, if logic dictated that he should. Still, she was glad that they were both alright and if she had her way, this budding new respect for one another would blossom into the relationship they should have always had…
