Thanks again for all your thoughts. Looks like I’m sticking around after all

Tried to find a still of Ryder/Cross as Spock’s parents but the only one I could find was the having baby Spock scene though I know there was a cut scene where they argued. Sigh. . It’s amazing what opportunities JJ missed with this but of course that’s what you get for having someone unfamiliar with the franchise/fandom making your movies. Anyway, here’s her by herself because of it

Spock was mildly surprised not to find his parents in his apartment anyway as he walked out to the living room area after dressing. Had it been only his father, he could see Sarek barging in. Only his mother seemed to be able to rein him in.

He went to the door and opened it to reveal his calm looking parents.

“Good Morning.”

Mother smiled warmly. “Hello Spock. May we come in?”

He stepped aside to allow them entrance.

“I do apologize for not contacting you prior to coming over. It was quite thoughtless of us.”

Sarek sniffed. “It does not seem unusual to be in the area and wish to have breakfast with our son.”

“Of course not, dear. But we should have contacted Spock on the way.”

“Apology accepted,” Spock replied. “Tea, Mother?”

“Yes, thank you. Sarek, dear, put the breakfast packages there in the kitchen. We’ll reheat the food when Jim comes out.”

“It is fortunate your mother selected so much food,” Sarek murmured.

Spock ignored his father and went into the kitchen after him to begin preparing coffee for Jim and tea for his mother and father.

“It would seem that your acquaintance with James Kirk has progressed quite a bit,” Sarel said then.

“Sarek!”

“I say this as an observation,” her husband insisted. “Not as a judgment.”

Spock merely shrugged though he was not certain he could deny that his father’s words were true.

Only a moment later, Jim appeared, fully dressed, hair damp from the shower.

“Good morning,” Jim called. “Sorry about the door in the face thing.”

Mother shook her head. “You owe us no apology, Jim. I am sure you didn’t expect to find us pounding on Spock’s door this morning.”

“Hardly pounding,” Sarek muttered.

She shot him a look. “But at least we brought breakfast to, perhaps, make up for our faux pas. And I believe Spock has your coffee ready.”

“I do.” Spock handed Jim the cup of coffee made just the way he’d learned Jim liked it.

Jim smiled. “Thanks.”

“Wonderful,” Mother said, her eyes twinkling. “Now Sarek will heat the breakfast and we’ll all sit down to eat.”

Sarek opened his mouth, Spock was sure to protest. But one look from his wide and he said, “Yes, Amanda.”

She took Jim’s arm. “You’ll sit by me, Jim. We Humans must stick together, don’t you think?”

Jim laughed. He seemed to relax for which Spock was grateful. He suspected he should send his mother a big box of her favorite chocolates.

“Yes, I think so, ma’am.”

“Amanda, dear.”

“Amanda.”

She drew Jim to Spock’s dining room table and they sat down, beginning to converse like old friends.
