Academy Love ➢ Jim Kirk

Chapter 33: Back on the Enterprise

*Naomi is now four months pregnant.*

It took some convincing, but Jim managed to let Naomi still be on the Enterprise. It was five years in space, people were bound to get pregnant sometime. Jim just hoped his seventeen year old chief navigator would be next to get someone pregnant. That'd be an interesting story.

Naomi was still adjusting to being pregnant on a star ship. The gravity was different and carrying a baby wasn't something she was used to anyway. Jim was thrilled that she was starting to show. Not many people knew she was his wife, so they would flirt and ask her out. After her stomach started showing, people wouldn't do that.

Spock, Jim's first officer and friend, was actually quite curious about the effects of different gravity on a  pregnant women. Naomi didn't have much to say, just for the fact she's never been pregnant in normal gravity. Spock was a bit disappointed with his research.

On Friday, when Jim and Naomi were sleeping, something woke up Naomi. She sat up in bed, worried. She felt it again, it was in her stomach. The baby was kicking for the first time.

"Jim, Jim, JIM!" She yelled, shaking Jim.

"Woah woah woah woah." Jim said, waking up startled. "What up, what's wrong?"

"The baby's kicking!" Naomi exclaimed happily. Jim instantly put his hand on her stomach, amazed.

"What?" He asked, trying to feel it. He was really nervous and started freaking out a little.

"Jim, Jim. Stop moving you hand." Naomi said, taking his hand in hers. "That's where the baby's head is, move you hand here."

Jim moved his hand to the other side of Naomi's stomach. A light patter hit hand, making him smile. "Oh my god." He muttered amazed. "Does it hurt?"

"Not really. Just feels weird." Naomi answered, looking down at her stomach. It was still a little unbelievable about the baby.

"Wow." Jim muttered. "When we can, do you want to find out the gender?"

"I think so. It'd be nice to know, then I'd have an answer when people ask." Naomi said. "I think we can find out in three week."

"That's great." Jim muttered, hugging Naomi from behind so he could have his hands over her stomach.

The baby was still kicking Naomi hard enough that Jim could feel it. It felt great for him to be able to feel his kid kick, and in a few weeks know the gender. Naomi knew that Jim was exited, but he needed lots of practice. He's never really been around kids for more than a couple hours, this experience would be new.
