Chapter 18

Chapter Eighteen - Thoughts of Babies

Bones eyebrows rose up to his hairline when he read Jim’s memo. So Starfleet was looking for volunteers too. Huh, he and Scotty had talked about adopting but he really wanted his own child. He knew that they could go through a surrogate but that would cause complications if they decided to back out and a whole host of other issues. He tapped his finger against his lips in thought. Maybe this is the answer. He could have his own kids with Montgomery and it was all cleared with Starfleet.

The only downside that he could see out of the whole thing was that the womb was permanent and they could have multiple children in one go. But that would save them from having to go through it more than once if they wanted more than one kid. It also saved them from having to use fertility drugs if needed as well. He guessed that was one thing he could say for men, they released a lot of swimmers when needed.

He should probably bring along something to drink as he figured this might be more than Montgomery could wrap his head around. He knew that he was still dealing with Jim giving birth to the boys and it had unnerved him some, but not enough for it to cause any issues. He thought it might have something to do with it being Jim and Jim being a male. To most humans, woman had kids and men impregnated them. Not vice versa or men to impregnate men. Apparently in the twenty third century, human society still had some hang ups, Komack and Marcus along with Hargrove proved it.

Having made his choice, Bones stood up and left his office. Guess it was time for a chat with his hubby. Time to corner his man and discuss this memo. He probably got it by now but being so busy hadn’t read it. He looked at the chronometer as he left sickbay. Montgomery should be back in their quarters getting dinner.  All they needed to do was decide if this was right and who would have the babies, he had a feeling it was going to be him as he always bottomed. Not that he ever complained on that, his husband was a god in the bedroom. He tried to picture himself all fat with their children and a soft smile graced his lips. Yep, him definitely! He smiled as he headed back to their quarters, he could always get what he wanted by initiating kinky sex. Even if he said no, the sex would be great!

Pavel was in the training room watching his lover practice with his sword. He loved to watch him, he was so graceful and handsome. Sometimes he wondered what Hikaru saw in him. A brainy Russian kid that was smarter than most people older than him. He understood math better than he did people. He sighed and continued to read the article he found on a new quantum theory. Suddenly a new message from the Captain showed. He frowned at first wondering what they wanted volunteers for, then his eyebrows rose clear to his hairline.

They discovered how to create permanent wombs in males and looking for volunteers for the procedure. Pavel felt his heart stop beating for a moment before it started again, speeding up in excitement. He and Hikaru were talking about someday having their own children. He so wanted children that were part of both he and his lover. He dreamed that night after they made love that he was carrying and that they had three little ones already. They had talked about their dreams from the night the next day.

He had woken up to find Hikaru’s hand over his stomach and such a look of longing on his face. He noticed that so far they have had success with no complications. He wondered how many of the Vulcan’s had already signed up for this procedure. He knew that Starfleet was looking to get the numbers back up after what happened with Nero and then Khan on top of it. There had been a plague in the Alpha quadrant that had wiped out three planets before a cure had been found. They were able to stop it from spreading but not before they had lost over a trillion humans and many other species that had settled the planets.

He looked up when he saw Hikaru standing next to him. He smiled at his lover, “All done already?”

“Yes, what are you looking at?” Hikaru sat down and nodded towards Pavel’s PADD.

“Starfleet is looking for volunteers to have zhis procedure done,” Pavel said as he handed Hikaru his PADD to read the Captain’s memo.

“Are you sure, Pav?” he asked him with concern.

“Yes, Hikaru. Just zhink, we can hiv our own babies.”

“I know, but once you do this there is no going back. It says that it is permanent,” Hikaru took one of his hands into his.

“I know, but ven ve are done; I can have an implant put in for birth control.”

“I suppose if needed I can do a vasectomy. They are reversible,” Hikaru said.

“You must really love me to allow Doctor McCoy to perform zhat on you,” Pavel teased.

“Yes, I do. If you can do this and it is permanent, then I can do something for when you decide you are done having kids,” Hikaru said and gave him a soft kiss.

“Zhen we can do zis?”

“Yes, I will see what paperwork we need,” Hikaru set down the PADD and pull Pavel into his arms.

“Oh, Hikaru you are ze best.” He grabbed his face in his hands and proceeded to kiss Hikaru all over his face while he laughed in delight. Hikaru just gave him a soft smile in return.
