Lt. Wakeman Jr. (Book 2)

Chapter 10 Ending

I made it to my mother's house and held my breath as I saw Bones, Spock and Kirk.

"Mom, you wanted to see me?" I asked as I walked up to her.

"Sit down." She said as she patted the seat beside her.

"Alright." I said as I set beside of her.

"I have something to tell you." She said as she let out a shaky.

"Okay." I said as she squeezed my hands.

"Spock is your father!" She said quickly.

I looked at her shocked and she bit her lip.

"I know you probably have a bunch of questions-"

"I already know." I said cutting her off.

"What?"

"Half Vulcan, you worked on a ship with him. Bones hates him and I look a little like him. Didn't take a genius." I said softly.

"He didn't-"

"Know about me, I figured. Mostly because he was you superior and it wasn't allowed for you to be with him and because he was surprised when he learned you had a part Vulcan kid." I said with a laugh.

"She really is smart." Kirk said with a chuckle.

"Smart enough to deal with a Kirk." I said calmly.

"So you tell him you love him yet?" Kirk asked calmly.

"Yes I did, and now we are secretly dating." I said with a frown.

"Funny."

I sent him a look and his eyes went wide.

"Oh you aren't joking. Well congrats." He said with a nod of his head.

I rolled my eyes and looked back at my mother.

"He hurts you and I'll skin him alive." She said calmly.

"I know." I said as I shook my head.

"Good, now you should get home. You leave tomorrow right?"

"Yea, I'll message you. I love you."

"I love you too." She said as she kissed my forehead.

I let out a sigh as I walked home. It wasn't that long a distance thankfully and only took me a couple minutes. I walked up stairs and held back a sigh as I saw a picture of me, Peter, Henry, Joanna, and Ben. It had been taken a week after we learned Henry and Jo were dating.

I felt arms wrap around my waist and I leaned back against his chest.

"I love you." He said softly.

"I love you too." I said as I turned in his embrace.

I smiled up at Ben and gently leaned up and kissed him.

...

"Ben!" I yelped out as he started to tickle my sides.

"Say you love me." He said as he continued his assault.

"I love you! I love you!" I gasped out.

He let out a laugh and stopped. He sent me a smile and leaned down and gently kissed me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer.

"Mommy!"

"You're demon is calling you." Ben said with a chuckle.

"Daddy!" Another voice yelled.

"You're demon is calling you."

"No that is my princess." Ben said as he pulled away.

I shook my head and smiled as we both walked to our children's room. I let out a laugh as I saw my son and daughter both snuggled up on my son's bed.

"Monster." They whined as they pointed into the closet.

"I got this." Ben said as he walked towards the closet.

He quickly opened the door and I burst out laughing as stuff started to fall. Throwing him to the ground. The kids both started to laugh and I highfived my son and daughter.

"Good job!" I exclaimed as I ruffled their hair up.

"Traitors." Ben said as he set up.

"Love you Daddy." My daughter said as she sent him a smile.

"Love you too Princess." He said as he kissed her forehead.

We put them to bed and then went into the living room.

"When do you leave again?" I asked softly.

"Tomorrow... you could come with me. Let your mom watch the kids."

"You will be fine. Besides you have Henry." I said softly.

"That isn't reassuring." He said with a laugh.

"I love you, Benjamin Kirk."

"I love you Crystal T'Shel Kirk." He said as he leaned down and gently kissed me.
