“I want this one.”
Spock gazed down at the little girl with blonde curls and pointy ears. She had a box of Valentine cards in her hands which she held up to present to Spock. The cards had cartoon dogs and cats with big pink hearts. She was choosing cards to give out to her classmates at school.
“Very well, Amanda. You have made your choice then?”
His daughter with Jim had been looking through the choices for more than thirty minutes.
She bit her lip and glanced at the other choices.
“This one or the princesses. Or maybe—”
“Amanda, we are about to be late to meet your daddy.”
“But I can’t make up my mind!”
Clearly, Spock thought. He tried to imagine what his husband would do in this situation. Knowing Jim he’d probably get all of them. That’s the way Jim’s mind worked, at least when it came to their daughter.
“What are you going to give, Daddy?” Amanda suddenly asked.
Spock drew a blank as he had not intended to give Jim anything for the made-up day. It was one thing for a child but…
“Is Daddy giving me something?”
“Course.”
Spock shook his head. He had no idea. But for now he decided he would take a page from Jim’s playbook.
“Let us just get both the dogs and cats and the princesses.”
“Yay!” Her smile brightened up the whole store.
A decision made, Spock and Amanda made it to the register to, at last, check out.

Heh. Be careful which pages you take from the playbook.
So freaking cute. Do love a doting Spock. Whether it be to kids or maybe especially to Jim himself. But he better figure out what he’s gonna get his space husband!

WTG, Spock. I mean, come on, man. You never had a chance with all that gorgeous cuteness surrounding you anyway. Just give in and enjoy it! That’s what loving a Human is like. And having a child with him.
