Determination Goes a Long Way [For imaythrowup]

[inthecomingstorm]

Jamie had left Leo back home with the twins and had told him that there were a few things that she needed to do. Something had been on her mind for a long while now. In fact, that something was going to have a nice fun ride on a transport and then on a motorcycle. She'd found a place to meet up with Jocelyn and had a nice long conversation with the woman. A conversation that the woman didn't like. One that James Tiberius Kirk wasn't backing down from. When all was said and done it wasn't Jocelyn that had the rights to one Joanna McCoy. It was one James Tiberius Kirk-McCoy that did. This was something that she'd had going on for a while now.

Keeping Jo quiet was the fun part. Especially when they got home. "Daddy, close your eyes and no peeking." She calls out knowing that the twins should be down for their nap by now.

Leonard had no idea what his wife was planning. When she asked him to watch the twins for the day, he had agreed. It was nice to spend time alone with them and soon he had tired them out enough for them to want to nap. He had just put them down for their naps when he heard his wife's voice. Shrugging, he did as he told and closed his eyes.

"Their closed, darlin'. What're ya up to?" he asked.

"I mean it, Mr. McCoy. Keep them closed."

Kneeling down, she set Jo on the floor who ran over, wrapping her little arms around her daddy's legs. The little girl was being quiet as could be. If only because she knew the babies were asleep. But at least the little girl was in a place where she could be properly taken care of.

Leonard almost jumped in surprise when he felt someone wrap their arms around his legs. He couldn't help but to open his eyes and look down. When he saw his little girl standing there, he grinned as tears came to his eyes.

"Jo," he said before he picked her up and hugged her close. He looked over at his wife. "How?"

"Don't worry about 'how', Leo." She says before reaching into her pocket and pulling out a PADD. "This here should be put in a safe place."

After all, that very PADD stated that Joanna McCoy was the sole custody of James and Leonard McCoy.

He was still curious as to how it happened, and would ask for more details later. At the moment, all he cared about was the fact his little girl was in his arms again. Leonard couldn't wait until Jo met her little brother and sister. He knew she was going to be a wonderful big sister to them.

"Thank you," he whispered as he looked over at Jamie. "Thank you so much."

"I'm sure Jo's hungry after that long trip. So why don't we get her fed and down for her own nap. It's been a long day for her, daddy." She says watching Jo hug her daddy tight but also noting the yawn from the young girl.

"Sounds good to me, darlin'," Leonard said. He reluctantly sets Joanna down before going to the kitchen. He makes her a peanut butter and jelly sandwich - just the way she liked it - and got her a glass of milk. Once she's settled and eating, Leonard went to his wife and pulled her into a tight hug.

"I love you."

That was his daughter, the one whom he'd never have to go a day without again. Not as long as she lived anyway. Though when she's hugged like that, she hugs him back and kisses his cheek.

"I love you too."

Once Joanna was finished, Leonard cleaned her up and took her to the guest room. He knew they would need to do some shopping and get her some toys, clothes, and other things, but he didn't care. He had his little girl back.

After Jo was asleep, Leonard turned and scooped Jamie into his arms. "I'm the luckiest man alive," he said.

The shopping she would leave to her husband. Let him have quality time with his children. Wrapping her arm around his neck, she laid her head on his shoulder and gave a slight chuckle.

"I have a wonderful husband, he needs the world."

Leonard pulled back and looked down at her. "You deserve the world too, darlin'. I don't even know what I did to deserve ya," he whispered.

"You put up with me." She says with a slight chuckle. "That's how it started out anyway."

He softly laughed and shook his head. "I like puttin' up with ya, darlin'. You've made my life a whole lot better and I'm gonna love ya forever 'cause of that," he said.

"Forever is an awful long time, baby." She says softly, watching him.

"Not really," he said before kissing her.

She kisses him back and raises a brow. "How is it not?"
