And the conclusion (the full fic coming soon to AO3)
“I can hardly believe we’re actually married.”
Spock came to stand behind his new husband and he wrapped his arms around Jim’s middle, drawing him back against him.
Jim had been standing next to a floor to ceiling window in Jim’s temporary apartment.
“You are exhausted, T’hy’la.”
“Been a very long day.”
Spock tightened his hold. “Some would say we moved too fast.”
Jim shook his head and turned in Spock’s arms. He kissed Spock’s jaw which made him shiver. He wanted to take Jim to bed but the dark circles under Jim’s eyes gave him pause.
“We know what we know,” Jim answered him. “And we know we want to spend our lives together. If we waited six months or even a year, that wouldn’t change.”
“Agreed.”
Suddenly the terminal in Jim’s living room alerted them to an incoming message.
Jim slipped out of Spock’s arms to go to the desk.
“Crap, it’s Mom. She must have heard.”
He sighed as Spock came forward to join him. A moment later Winona Kirk’s stern looking face appeared.
“James Tiberius Kirk, did you just get married without your Mama?”
“Er.”
“I take it that’s a yes.”
“It was, uh, spur of the moment. This is Spock. He’s my husband.”
Winona Kirk scoffed. “I know who he is. Now my son-in-law. Spock.”
“Madam.”
“I can’t believe you got married on Yorktown. Hideous place.” She wrinkled her nose. “When does the Enterprise go out?”
“Uh.” Jim glanced at Spock.
“Three months, six days, twenty-two hours and—”
“Plenty of time to come here for a real wedding.”
“There? Mom, that’s Riverside.”
“Don’t you think I know where I live? You can do it. You and Spock are coming here. We’ll have a ceremony and a reception.”
“We already had—”
She narrowed her eyes. “Was Spock’s father there?”
“No,” Jim admitted.
“Shameful. I’ll contact him and he can come to your Riverside wedding. And you know, I’ve been in contact with your brother so—”
“Sam? Mom, come on.”
“I’ll contact you with the details. You contact Starfleet to arrange to be here. Kirk out.”
Jim stared at the now blank screen.
Spock stared with him.
“What just happened?” Jim whispered.
“I do not know.”
Another alert.
Incoming transmission from Ambassador Sarek.
“Well hell.”
Spock smirked in some amusement. “And so it begins.
The End
And that’s a wrap for August

*SNORT! Seriously. I LOVE that.
” Kirk out.” “What just happened?” “I do not know.”
And so it begins indeed! And that’s the way it’s gonna be, Mr. and Mr. Kirk-Spock or Spock-Kirk – or just Mr. and Mr. Spirk. That works.
Can’t wait till it’s on ao3 so I can read it all again in one sitting. I’m old. I forget, you kno…SQUIRREL!

I too love this ending!! It’s inspired by your Spirky muse!!
