“I’m sorry I ruined our wedding,” Jim rasped out. He felt hot and cold at the same time.
Surprisingly considering he had a gaping wound in his side it didn’t really hurt.
Spock knelt beside him, covered in red blood. One had rested on Jim’s arm and the other near his face.
“You did not ruin anything,” Spock said. “Save your strength.”
Jim could only vaguely remember things. Getting speared in the side. Standing beside Spock. Saying vows. The wrong order though, right?
“C-cold,” Jim stuttered, suddenly feeling as though he must have frostbite.
Spock looked over his shoulder. “Ensign Evening, please bring over the emergency blanket.”
A moment later Jim saw a female officer wearing a blue science dress hand Spock something. She looked down at Jim with deep concern and he attempted to give her a reassuring smile.
He didn’t remember her being at the wedding ceremony but he supposed his memory was compromised by his wound.
“Shh, rest easy,” Spock said, gently. He tucked the blanket around Jim. “Close your eyes, Jim. Try to rest while we wait for transport.”
Jim nodded or he thought he did. He closed his eyes.
“Commander, why does he think—”
“Silence, Ensign.”
“Y-Yes, sir. Sorry.”
Jim opened his eyes to see only Spock there, hovering over him. “Shouldn’t it hurt> I can’t really feel anything.”
“At the moment I am absorbing most of your discomfort.”
“You-you shouldn’t.”
“It is no hardship.”
He tried to snort but wasn’t sure what it sounded like. “Am I gonna die, Spock?”
“Not on my watch, Captain.”
“Good. I really want that honeymoon.”
“As do I. Sleep. When you wake you will be on the Enterprise.”
He nodded and closed his eyes again.
Jim opened his eyes to Bones running a scanner over him. To Jim’s surprise Bones half-smiled.
“Welcome back.”
“Enterprise?”
“Yep. You’re going to live. Thanks to Spock.”
“Where is he?”
“Here, Captain.”
Bones moved away for a moment and was replaced by Spock who looked like every hair was in place. Jim sort of remembered he’d been covered in blood last he saw him.
“Everything okay?”
“It is now.”
Jim smiled. “I think Bones has pumped me full of happy juice.”
“Indeed. And when you have recovered I believe there is something we need to discuss.”
“Hmm?”
“The possibility of our marriage.”
And like that Spock moved away.
“Our what? Spock? Spock!”

Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
That was just freakin’ wonderful!
It ticks off all the boxes for me! Love the twist with Jim’s injury causing his delusional wedding talk, which led to Spock’s unconventional proposal there at the end. 😜👍👍 That will be some conversation when Jim realizes what he kept on about as he lay bleeding out! Lol! 🤦🏻♀️😘
AND I had a special guest appearance in Science/Medical blues! Love it!!!
This was a wonderful Birthday gift! 🎂🍰 🥳 I woke up ahead of my alarm and was going to go back to sleep for a bit more, when I remembered the promised flash, so I came here to find it. Definitely inspirational for good dreams!
Thank you again!
One of my twins and I are going out to a local arboretum today , my other twin is working from home, and my oldest is down in Brooklyn. Later the four of us are going to my favorite Mexican restaurant which has outdoor seating overlooking a reservoir. Good food, nice setting and good Margaritas!
Hopefully I’ll get to see my oldest on Sunday for Mother’s Day somehow. 🤷🏻♀️
My husband couldn’t take off today because they have a big monthly meeting,. I was off last night and I’m off tonight. Hubby is taking off Thursday and Friday so maybe we’ll do something together on Thursday. Because I don’t have to go to work till midnight and can catch some sleep in the evening before work.
Thank you again for this birthday 🥳🎂🎁 gift! ❤️💚😘🖖😘🥰
