Chapter Fourteen
The talks reconvened and the crew of the Enterprise as well as their command team were not required to be there. This worked out well for them as they were going to nicely interrogate the prisoners. They walked down to the cells where they were kept. They were all in the same cell, which made things easier. The prisoners looked up fearfully when they heard the footsteps.
“Hello, I am Captain Kirk of the USS Enterprise. This is my mate and First Officer, Commander Spock. With me as well is my Chief Medical Officer, Doctor McCoy and Lieutenant Uhura. We have come here to speak with you.”
They nodded to him and seamed to relax a little. “Do you mind if I look you over?” McCoy asked them. The Ferengi shook their heads and they stepped closer to the door. McCoy ran his tricorder over them and checked the readings. “They are not hurt. Other than that stunt early by the High Advisor, they are fine.”
“Good, Uhura you’re up.”
“Gentlemen, we want to know why you kidnapped and attempted to kidnap Commander Spock.”
The larger of the two Ferengi spoke up, “We make a deal before we talk.”
“And what do you want?”
“We want out of here. You keep that crazy bastard away from us and get us off this Profit forsaken planet, we’ll tell you what you want to know.”
“Deal.”
The Ferengi nodded, “Ask your questions then.”
“Why did you try to kidnap them?”
“Yernak wants them.”
“How do you know Yernak?”
“He is a partner.”
“How is he your partner?”
“He gives us rare minerals and we get him what he wants.”
“So what did you get him?”
“He wanted the two Klingons and the two Romulans. That was chancy work. We had to get them on their shore leaves and even then it was risky because of the whole warrior thing and getting caught.”
“Did you get the Captain and Commander for him?”
“Yeah, we had to watch every where for a chance at them. We got lucky when you stopped at Argelius II. We grabbed them at their hover car.”
“So you came here to capture them for Yernak again?”
“Yeah, had some of my workers go to New Vulcan and we came here. Yernak wants them back or we won’t get what we agreed to.”
“What do you agree to with Yernak?”
“In addition to the rare minerals, we get to set up a resort there and make lots of latinum.”
“Who was your inside person?”
“Female. Don’t have a name.”
“Can you describe her?”
The Ferengi snorted, “You all look alike here. Blonde, I think.” He shrugged.
“Well, I guess that’s all we’re going to get.” Jim rubbed a hand over his face. Spock stepped close to the door and spoke to the Ferengi.
“If I found out that you lied and are a danger to my mate, I will rend you limb from limb,” he growled at them.
The Ferengi squeaked and ran back to a corner of their cell away from the Vulcan. “We ain’t.”
Jim grabbed Spock’s arm and they all left. They headed back up to the main area of the Councilary and wandered around looking at all the different shops. Jim and Uhura cooed at the baby clothes and made Spock carry the bags of the stuff they purchased. When they finished they brought the things back to Spock and Jim’s rooms and put it with their things. “That was fun.”
“Yes, it was.”
“We’ll have to do it again before we head back to the ship,” Jim said.
Uhura laughed, “yes we will.” She grabbed her things and went to her room. The gong sounded for lunch and they all headed out to eat. No one noticed the figure that slipped into the rooms and looked through their purchases.

Droxine was furious. How dare that human embarrass her father and keep her from what she wanted. She wanted Spock and she will have him! She saw the bags of baby items and figured out that he was carrying. Freaks. She will stay and try and seduce Spock with her charms. He could he not want her? She was the daughter of the High Advisor and most beautiful woman in the city. Her charms always got her what she wanted. She needed a plan. Maybe have a servant delay Kirk while she spent alone time with Spock. She will have to definitely get rid of that freakish spawn. She will not raise his children with someone else. They will have children of their own if he wants them. She smiled as she called for a servant to set her plans in motion. She will have to abort the baby. Can’t have that being born now. She will have Spock all to herself. She told the servant that answered her call what she wanted and then lay down in the bed after they left. She smiled to herself as she started pleasuring herself to her fantasies of the handsome Vulcan. He will be mine, she thought as she reached completion.

Spock frowned when the servant intercepted them on their way back to their rooms after their meal. Why would his mother send one of the Ardanan servants and not T’Pring or Stonn? He lifted his eyebrow when Kirk thanked the servant and they left. “I wonder what she wants?” He mused.
“I can come with you.”
“No Spock. You need to go and meditate. I know that you have not been really doing so since we have gotten here.”
“I do not need much sleep and I have done some meditating, T’hy’la.”
“Spock, how can you protect our Kits if you are not up to your usual standards of amazingness.” He grinned when he felt his mate relent. “I will be in our rooms soon. I am only two suites down the hall.” He kissed Spock’s cheek and headed to his parent’s rooms. He pressed the chime to the door. Amanda opened the door and seemed surprised to see him.
“Jim, what are you doing here?”
Jim frowned, “I received a message from one of the servants that you wanted to talk to me.”
“Well, it is lovely to see you dear, but I did not send the message. I would have sent Stonn or T’Pring.”
“I wonder why the servant said it was from you?”
“I don’t k…” she never finished the sentence as Jim gasped and held his head. “Jim? What’s wrong?”
“Spock. He’s angry. We have to get there, now.”
Amanda grabbed his arm and yelled for Stonn to get Sarek. She lead him as quickly as she could out of her rooms and they rushed down to Jim’s and Spock’s. They could hear yelling from the room. Jim could tell that Spock was getting angrier and he needed to calm him. He recognized the other voice as belonging to Droxine. What did the bitch do now? He slammed open the door and he and Amanda ran in. Spock had Droxine by the throat against the wall and he was growling at her. “Spock!” Jim gasped out. He ran over to them and grabbed onto Spock. He pushed through their link, feelings of calm and other soothing emotions. As he was calming down Spock, Sarek and Selek entered the room followed by Plasus.
“What is the meaning of this? Why have you attacked my daughter?”
Spock leveled a glare at him, “Your daughter would not keep her hands off my person after repeatedly asking her to do so. I came into my and my husbands rooms to find your daughter pleasuring herself in the bed my mate and I sleep in. She then proceeded to verbally attack my mate. I have been more than polite to your daughter and have repeatedly told her that I am mated and am not interested.” Spock pulled Jim into his arms and breathed in his soothing scent.
Jim rubbed his arm, he looked and saw all of the baby things that they had purchased on the floor in pieces. He felt tears gathering in his eyes and turned his face into Spock’s chest. Damn hormones. At this time, Uhura and the others had come in and noticed the mess.
“Perhaps, it would be for the best of we postpone any further talks for the day,” Selek said.
“Adun’a, please take our sons to our rooms.”
“Yes, Adun. Come on boys, lets leave them to it.” She lead the two men from the room and out into the hall. Once he was away from everyone, Jim let the tears fall. Why? Why couldn’t she stop? Spock started crooning to him as he half carried him, half walked him to their parents room.
***Note*** So yeah, crazy bitch. But I love it when Spock goes all sweet and gentle with his mate.
Vulcan translation:
Adun’a - wife
Adun - husband
