Out of the woods

A promise that was kept

T'Prin were with children her age appearing to be stoic and were chatting so causally about their parents. Some of them even discussed the chances of them being dead or alive. It disgusted T'Prin in such a unusual way seeing her race in that light. Perhaps it was because being around Jim, her daddy, for so long he has rubbed off his humanity on her. She looked around seeing unfamiliar faces. She was afraid that he hadn't made it. Being alone again was the most painful thing she had to experience.

She was the sole survivor of the shuttle crash due to being in a escape pod.

Her Vulcan mother stroked her face and said, "I love you, baby, more than my emotions can ever say." then shut the door on T'Prin.

Why was she put into a escape pod?

"T'Prin? T'Prin! T'Prin!" Came a familiar older male voice.

T'Prin turned her head in the direction of the voice through the crowd of stoic children.

"Daddy!" T'Prin speeded ahead.

T'Prin ran in the direction of the source calling her name.

The most familiar older and staccato voice who took her in. She had grown used to it, perhaps, saw him as a interesting father figure. A caring human being. Unlike most Vulcans she was wired different in her brain. In short, she learned differently. She came to the older man right in her line of sight. She was gleaming with joy. Her daddy. Well, he wasn't the one who aided in her birth but he was damn close to being the father figure she had. Jim picked the girl up into his arms.

"I knew you would come back for me." T'Prin said, with a smile growing on her face.

Jim had one hand wrapped around her back as her arms were on his shoulder.

"I always will, my little girl." Jim said.

Jim wore the combadge wherever he went attached to a golden bracelet. He hadn't told John about it. Of all the times John had reminded him dearly of someone he barely knew, it made complete sense. John once had been there to apply first aid to a couple Romulans coming in after being attacked by some Klingon ships and were not so hostile and promised to leave after the space station helped. John was one of those volunteers. It didn't matter that this version of Bones was a two century year old man. He was Bones. One will watch out for both Spock and Jim of this universe until they are dead or until he has to fake his own death. That's the one part that assured Jim. It made him believe the crew of the Enterprise would be safe. John likely had to fake his death a lot when he had to burn his current identity.

Jim knew it would hurt Spock and his counterpart when their Bones 'died'.

Bones was like family to them.

Now, how does Jim find his Spock?
