“What’s the last thing you remember?”
Jim shook his head. “Uh. I dunno. Waking up here in medbay, I guess.”
Bones frowned. “And nothing at all about the mission or the landing party?”
“No.”
“Well. You did get conked on the head. It’s probably temporary.”
“Probably?”
Bones smiled slightly. “Most likely. I’m keeping you overnight and then I can release you to your quarters under supervision and observation of Spock.”
Jim paused. Then asked, slowly, “Spock?”
“Yes. He’s waiting to see you.”
“Why?”
“Oh likely because he’s worried sick.”
“Doesn’t want to take over captain duties?” Jim asked, puzzled.
“Jim, what do you remember about who Spock is?”
“First officer.”
“And that’s it?”
Jim thought. “Science officer. Vulcan and Human.” Jim smiled. Shook his head. “Pain in the ass.”
He could see Bones’ face change and definitely not in a good way.
“What?” Jim asked.
“Spock is…your husband, Jim.”
“My what?” Jim laughed. “Spock? Oh come on, Bones. Pull the other one. He’s with Uhura.”
“No, not for a long time. You and Spock got married and bonded last year.”
“That’s crazy.”
“I thought so, but it’s true,” Bones said wryly. “You’d better rest, Jim. I think I better go have a word with Spock.”
Jim shook his head as Bones walked away. Him and Spock? Maybe it was Bones who got conked in the head. But, now that he thought about it, he was feeling pretty sleepy. He closed his eyes.

You dang right it’s “to be continued.” Good thing you put that, or all these readers I said who are so supportive and patient?
That would be out the door right now.
Speaking of out and the door, we’d show up at your place with pitchforks and torches if you didn’t continue!! I mean, how much are we poor readers supposed to handle????? Huh??????
Spock better get that bond thing humming but quick!!! and get Jim’s brain all lit up and warmed up.
Cliffie. How do you write it out? Harumph? It tells me that’s wrong, and of course I’ve never tried to write out that word in my life. But you know what I mean!!!
Poor guys!!! If I didn’t know your spirkiness, I’d swear you hate these guys!!!
As Evening said, “said in my nicest voice.” Which, you know, is screaming right now.
Can’t wait till Friday’s edition!

3 parts! Yeah and egads! That means more angst before the resolution!!! Continuing with the puppy analogy… This pup is gonna growl at the angst, but jump (my phone autocorrected jump into hump 🤦🏻♀️ Yeesch!!! ) … jump for joy at the happy ending! Now my phone wanted me to write happy hour instead of happy ending. My phone is really onto something, but it’s only 1:17 pm here on the east coast. A bit early for happy hour 🍻 🍷!!
