K/S Hospital Scene bc Into Darkness was so K/S TASTIC

[done_in_3]

It was so sudden. He woke up with a flash, bright lights, soft sounds, a bed, he was alive?? But he'd died in the chamber...in engineering. Spock and he had exchanged that vulcan hand-thing whatever the hell it was. He'd died, he was dead. Was this heaven? Holy....

No. Bones was here nagging at him.

"Oh don't be so melodramatic, you were barely dead. You've been out cold for two weeks."

He was so...taken aback. What had happened? He just remembered being in the locked chamber watching Spock shed tears, glimmering tears of anguish as he slowly died of radiation poisoning... his heart lurched at the memory. He didn't know the vulcan was even capable...

And then Spock was in the room, approaching him. Suddenly... everything else was forgotten. Hell even Bones was gone in his mind, though he could hear the doctor put in a "You know Uhura and I had something to do with it too."

"....Thanks, Spock... for saving my life..."

_{[Sarek is a bit busy at the moment but he makes some time for his son.]}

Spock. Greetings, son. I was hoping to speak to you soon. I have had some correspondence with Jim's mother about the wedding.

[spohkh]

[Spock blinks...

...wow, Winona is fast.]

Of course father. However, I have a rather pressing matter that must be discussed sooner than later.

[Spock's eyes, they are worried looking.]

[done_in_3]

_{[Quickly, Sarek is focused on his son. What could be wrong? That concern wasn't for nothing...]}

Name it.

[spohkh]

It is Jim. His mental state seems to have decreased. He is practically immobilized.
Did mother experience this?

[Yup, Spock looks openly worried now.]

[done_in_3]

....

She did. For the majority of her transformation, she was unable to speak more than a few words. She could walk the distance from our bed to the bathroom and very little more.

I did attempt to warn you, Spock. Jim's transformation is irreversible now, as you are aware. To dismantle the bond now would kill him. However frequent mind melds proved to be useful in relieving your mother's symptoms for a short time. Speaking to her through the bond was not only our sole means of communication but it helped to strengthen her.

[spohkh]

I see.

[Spock was... well, he was relieved.]

It is well to know that these symptoms are not unusual then. I had feared....

[Well... we won't go there. Spock looks to his father again.]
You said you had some concerns as well? I must admit, I did not expect Missus Kirk to get in contact with you so soon.

[done_in_3]

Yes... She is of an opinion that the ceremony would be best held on Earth, rather than New Vulcan. Your granfmother and I disagree, I see very little merit to the humans where as what remains of our people would greatly benefit from such a ceremony.

However she is rather spirited, in a way she reminds me of your mother's bull headedness.

[spohkh]

It would do well for Earth to see Vulcans come together in celebration of this.

[Because he couldn't tell his father that he didn't want his wedding on New Vulcan. That place wasn't his home.]

[done_in_3]

_{[No need, your father isn't stupid, Spock. How did you think he thought Winona got this number? Out of the directory? Adorable, son.]}

Your avid support... implies favor towards Winona. It would explain why she was able to contact me. I presume she acquired my contact information from you?

[spohkh]

Indeed.

[Spock only hesitates for a moment... because this is his father, and while he may have calmed down a lot since Amanda's death, he's still an imposing man.]

Father, if it is at all possible, I would prefer for Jim and I to be married on Earth. However, if you want us on New Vulcan, then we will go.

[done_in_3]

I do prefer it to be on New Vulcan and I believe since your grandmother is funding the ceremony it is her decision. But... might I know your argument as to why you prefer this planet?

[spohkh]

Father, if it was my ultimate choice, I would have our wedding on the Enterprise, because it is my home. As it is not possible due to the refit I would settle for Earth... because it is the next best thing.

You should know father that my time on Vulcan was a difficult one, and since I never felt as though I belonged there, I never truly called it my home. New Vulcan is the same.

Father...

[Spock looks sad. He hopes he isn't making a mistake in saying this. But Earth was mother's home.. Jim's home... here he feels more comfortable.]

...I hope this does not offend you.

[done_in_3]

<sub>[Sarek was quiet for a long while, thinking to himself. Clearly this was a difficult thing for him to even comprehend. He would need a while to grasp that. Spock didn't like vulcan, fine, but he didn't like New Vulcan either? He was going to slap the vulcan people in the face by witholding their cultural beacon from them, but then what was this wedding really about? His son or his species? His face shows nothing, he is calm and collected, every bit the intimidating vulcan ambassador.]


I appreciate your confession. I will have to consider it. It is not my choice.</sub>

[spohkh]

[Spock nods, resigned.]

Of course. Please send my regards to grandmother. Peace and long life to you father.

I...

[Spock hesitates again.]

I never regretted being a Vulcan, father.

[done_in_3]

....

I am aware... but it pleases me to hear you say that regardless.

...As I told you once... You will always be a child of two worlds. I am grateful for this, and for you.

[spohkh]

[Spock swallowed heavily, and nodded, lifting his hand in a Ta'al.]

Until next we speak.

[done_in_3]

Live long and prosper, my son.

_{[And he signed off. Busy day. Winona was wandering around the house, laundry and cleaning and shit to do. She peeks her head in the room.]}



Spock? Are you in here?

[spohkh]

[Spock was staring at the padd as though shocked... but quickly looks up at Winona's voice.]

Yes.

[He stands, and goes to her.]

I was just speaking with my father. I must thank you for getting in contact with him so soon.

[done_in_3]

I didn't interrupt did I? You ok? You look spooked.

_{[She sidestepped him to set some things away out of her laundry basket she carried with freshly folded items.]}

Your father didn't seem very enthusiastic about holding the ceremony on earth but I made my peace about it. I hope it doesn't backfire.

Hey... can I ask you something? Yesterday I heard you reading out loud, were you reading to Jim?

How is he? I haven't seen him in days.

[spohkh]

Apparently, it is not up to him, but my grandmother. [Spock gives Winona a wry smile.]
Do not worry, I will not have you talk to her.... I would not inflict anyone upon T'Pau.



I did not mean to keep you from him... but yes, I was reading to him. He has difficulty concentrating, so my voice was something he could focus on for a short time. [Spock hesitates...] He... is asleep now. Do you wish to see him?

[done_in_3]

I think your father has more influence on it than you think. He gave me the impression it was more of a joint effort but she has the final say. I think he might present our side to her.


Trouble concentrating? To the point he can't read? What's happening to my son, Spock?

[spohkh]

His mind is quite literally re-calibrating itself to accept the bond. We both knew it would be hard on him, but it seems much worse now that it is happening. He will have difficulty doing much of anything until the bond starts to settle...

...and that may take quite some time.


[Yeah, he probably looks like public enemy number one to her right now.]

[done_in_3]

_{[She nods slowly, trying to be patient. Indeed, Spock seems to have stolen her child away. What happened to her brilliant Jim? They were just making headway with their troubled relationship and now this... she didn't have her son around to feel guilty so she could lay into Spock all she wanted.]}

What does 'much of anything' mean? I had no idea he wouldn't be able to read on his own, he seems like he's in a coma.

_{[Her tone is harsh, defensive... frightened.]}

[spohkh]

He will get better over time Missus Kirk. Right now his mind is occupied with the bond and making certain that it is suited to Jim's physiology. My mother went through this same process.

If you wish for further information, I encourage you to speak with my father again about my mother's experiences, as he would know better than I.


[That, and it almost seemed as though Sarek enjoyed speaking with Winona... go figure.]

[done_in_3]

I might do that.

Is everything alright with you? You disappeared on me yesterday, nothing's wrong is it?
