Double Trouble Ch4

Pairing: McKirk

Rating: G

Length: 1515 words

Summary: Ellie meets Len and Charlie. The girls’ timeline gets rushed a little, and Len is having a few doubts.

~*~*~*~

Ellie wasn’t really sure about Len when they first climbed into the man’s truck. He seemed a little awkward and a lot nervous, and not nearly as glad to see her as Jo made it sound like he’d be. Other than to ask about her much shorter hair, he barely said two words. His hands fiddled with the steering wheel a little as he opened his mouth to start saying something several times before she finally prompted, “Daddy what’s wrong?”

“Nothing’s wrong, sweetheart,” he assured her with a sigh. “I just got something I need to talk to you about and I dunno where to start.”

Apprehension shadowed her response, “Well… Start from the beginning.”

“You know Charlie and I have been seeing each other for a while?”

She didn’t even have to fake the distaste she felt toward the man after everything Jo had told her. “Yeah. What about him? Did you break up?”

“Please don’t start, Joanna Marie. No, that’s not what happened. While you were gone, he and I decided that we’re going to get married at the end of summer.” Every muscle in his body seemed wound tight as he broke the news.

Ellie was horrified. “You what?!”

Silence reigned while Leonard debated what to say next. All the while, Ellie stared him down, practically daring him to come up with a good reason for this decision.

“He’s very sweet, Jojo. And he makes me happy, so I want you to at least try to give him a chance alright?”

Her arms crossed stubbornly while he waited for a response. She needed to get ahold of Jo as soon as she could get her hands on the phone if this was still going to work because gosh, this was turning into a huge mess. If they couldn’t get things rolling fast, they wouldn’t even have the chance. Wide fields and patches of trees sped past while she thought through the situation. Everything came back to needing to call Joanna.

“Can I call someone when we get home?”

He sighed and rubbed at his face but nodded. “Yeah alright… We’re talking about this at some point today, though. Just me and you, promise.”

“Yeah okay.”

The second they walked through the door, Ellie scowled at the man she could only assume was Charlie. He was blonde like her papa, but looked so much more Abercrombie model than actual human being and he looked way too pleased with himself. She ignored him in favor of getting a good look around the room. The whole place had a look of just plain niceness that was foreign to her. It almost looked cold. There were a few personal touches here and there; photos of Joanna with her father, other family members, Christmas cards that probably should have come down months ago, but none of the loving mess Ellie was accustomed to.

She glanced around and found the phone sitting in its cradle, grabbed it and bolted upstairs where she assumed the bedrooms were before anyone could say another word to her. Quick peeks through doorways quickly revealed a room with posters of plane schematics, model planes hanging from the ceiling, and other various bits and bobs associated with aviation that identified the room as Jo’s. Ellie locked herself in and tumbled onto the bed as she dialed the all-too familiar number of her own home.

“Hello?” The sound of her own dad’s voice on the other end of the line made her smile a little.

“Hi, um… Is Ellie there?”

“She sure is, is this Jo?”

“Yeah! I wanted to make sure I got the number right and that she got home okay with the plane and all.” Lying to Jim had never been high on her list of things to do, but drastic times called for drastic measures and she was sure he’d understand when it was all done.

“Just a second and lemme get her- Ellie! Phone for you!”

There was a bit of shuffling around, but Jo finally snagged the phone, “Hello? Jojo?”

“Oh my god, Joanna go to my room right. Now. Everything’s gonna be ruined!” Okay, maybe that was a little dramatic, but it felt like everything was already crumbling before they even had a chance to try.

She listened to Joanna excuse herself and waited until she heard the soft click of her bedroom door before launching back into her ramble, “So your dad was really weird when we got in the truck and at first I didn’t get why and he was really fidgety and I asked what was wrong and he told me that he and that Charlie guy are getting married! So now we have to really really really try to get your dad and that guy broken up if we’re gonna get our dad’s together.”

“Oh no… No wonder he wanted me gone!” She fumed. “What are we going to do?”

They both thought on it for a while before Jo had an idea, “What if we say we think we’re twins? They’d need to test it, wouldn’t they?”

“Hey yeah! And dad’s gallery showing isn’t til the end of summer, so we still have like a month and a half! So we just gotta tell our dads about the switch and let them figure out how they wanna switch us back.”

“And then we can drive Charlie out! He can hardly stand one of me. The both of us together would be unbearable!”

“Okay it’s a plan. We should talk to our dads tonight, right?”

“Right.”

Ellie hung up the phone and just lay across the bed sulking and wondering how she was supposed to do this all so quickly. She already liked Leonard a lot, and he wasn’t going to be happy about this. After a few hours of stalling, she wandered back downstairs to put it back in the cradle. On the way, she found Len sitting alone in the kitchen with a mug of coffee in his hands looking thoroughly deep in thought. When she wandered over to his side, he snapped out of it and pulled her into a one-armed hug that she returned with only a little hesitation. How mad was he going to be when she told him?

“What are you thinking about?” She asked quietly.

“I’m already wondering if I’m not making a mistake.”

“What kind of mistake?”

A deep frown tugged at his lips as he answered, “Getting married to Charlie.” There seemed to be more to it than that, but he chose not to add any more.

“If you’re not sure, you shouldn’t do it.”

He pressed a kiss to the top of her head. “And are you saying that because you’re suddenly wise beyond your years or because you apparently hate Charlie?”

“Why can’t it be both?” Ellie snuggled into him a little as she mumbled, enjoying the huff of laughter it pulled from him.

“I really do hope you know I love you more than anything.”

“Yeah?”

There was a flash where he exaggeratedly thought on it, tapping at his chin and hmm-ing before he grinned when she nudged him. “Yeah.”

“Well… What if there were two of me? Would you love having an extra me?”

“Two of you? Jojo, what are you talking about?”

She bit at her lip, suddenly extremely nervous about how this was going to go over. “Uh… I’m talking about me not being Joanna… I’m Ellie. Jo’s at my house with my dad in California…”

Len pulled back and looked her over, confusion etched across his features. He barely managed to set his cup down without spilling it in his distracted state and Ellie squirmed under his scrutiny.

“I know you don’t want me to get married, but this is not the way to go about it, Joanna.”

“I’m not Joanna! I’m Ellie! I live with my dad Jim in San Francisco and I don’t know anything about flying or airplanes or anything like that, but I can tell you all about the ocean and fossils and monsters and paints! We got the idea when she got the marshmallow in her hair and we had to cut it. Well… She did. I just thought it was a really good idea.”

Stunned silence rang out through the room as Len just stared at her for a moment. He seemed to be looking for some kind of indication that she was actually just joking and she’ll jump in with giggles any minute if he just keeps an eye on her long enough. When he got no such response, Len frowned a little and asked, “You’re serious?”

“Yeah…”

“And I’m just supposed to believe this?”

Ellie’s nose scrunched a little as she shook her head. “I’ve got a picture of me and papa and grampa and poppy in my bag. We’re at papa’s gallery showing last year…”

Len pinched at the bridge of his nose with a sigh. “That’s not necessary. Get me the phone. We need to call your father so we can switch the two of you back.”

Sun and Moon - McKirk - Part 1

Requested by: @needles-and-ink  Prompt: A McKirk fic where they have a super romantic friendship and are totally, painfully oblivious to it, until someone points it out. 

A/N: Thank you so much for sending me the request (the first I ever got!! <3). I have never written McKirk before so I hope you like what I did with it. Also, my mind went a little overboard and now you’re getting a small series (2 or 3 parts, haven’t decided yet if I split the rest up again). Sorry? 

Words: 897 Pairing: Jim Kirk x Leonard McCoy Warnings: None. 

“I believe that I have done the impossible.”

Leonard McCoy, who was currently sitting on the small table in his dorm room, scoffed and rolled his eyes. 

“Bones, I’m talking to you!”

“And I’m ignoring you,” retorted Leonard to the man lying on the bed behind him. 

Normally, Leonard studied in the library but he didn’t expect Jim to come home so early today. After Jim spent the first fifteen minutes singing in the shower and rambling loudly about his day, only wearing a towel, Leonard hoped that he’d finally be quiet when Jim flopped onto his bed with a PADD in his hands. Of course that wasn’t the case. Instead, Jim commented on everything he read. The urge inside the Doctor to hit his friend with a book grew stronger with each passing second. 

“Which is very mean, by the way,” Jim pouted.

“You deserve it. Besides, I’m trying to study.”

“You don’t need to study right now. Come here, I wanna show you something.”

“Not happening.” It was probably a stupid video of some alien creatures doing funny things. Jim spent hours watching them sometimes.  

“Bones! Get your ass over here.“

”You know, this is why I usually study in the library.”

Jim released an annoyed sigh. “Come here or -”

“Or what?” interrupted Leonard.

“Or I’m gonna make you.”

”Pff,” Leonard chuckled and looked up for the first time. He turned to face Jim, raising an eyebrow at him. “Oh, please. Try me.”

”You don’t believe I’m able to?” Jim made it almost sound like a challenge. 

Leonard simply shook his head with an amused smile. 

“I’ve done it countless times already!” claimed the other man.

“Never. I’m usually the one who carries you, especially after bar nights.“

Jim was quiet for a second, knowing it was true. He licked his lip, then suddenly threw his head back and closed his eyes in a dramatic manner. “Booones!”

Leonard rolled his eyes again. “Damnit, you’re such a child.” Reluctantly, he got up from his seat and plunged down next to his friend on the bed. “What is it?”

He looked at the screen and there was a picture of a beautiful, young woman in a Starfleet Uniform. Leonard frowned. “What am I looking at?”

“Cadet Manson. She’s in her first year. Very intelligent, a bit scary because she’s really tough, and extremely hot,” Jim made a small pause. “I believe I’ve found the perfect woman for you.”

Jim looked at Leonard with so much pride in his eyes that it made him smile involuntarily. This man is unbelievable, Leonard thought, and wondered for a brief second how their friendship had evolved so far. 

When they met on the ship two years ago, he would have never dreamt that they’d be so close one day. At first glance, Leonard McCoy and James Tiberius Kirk were like sun and moon: complete opposites. It took them a while to see that maybe they weren’t so different after all. Both geniuses in their own ways, coming from broken families with nowhere else to go.

So it didn’t take Jim long to steal his way into Leonard’s heart without him even noticing. He could be grumpy, irritated, and roll his eyes all day long - in the end, he’d forgive him everything. It didn’t matter if he was playing loud music in the morning after Leonard came back from a twelve-hour shift, or if it were drunk calls in the middle of the night, asking him to come to a bar at the other side of town because he couldn’t find his way back home. The only time, Leonard would get furious was when he walked in to see Jim getting it on with one of the other cadets. The doctor always thought it was a completely logical response to the situation. Nobody wanted to see that.

They were almost inseparable. They always had each other’s backs, and basically spent every free moment of their time together. Leonard enjoyed having a friendship where he could share everything with the other person. It went from helping each other study to going out together, or just having quiet nights in their room with take-out food, watching classical movies, and falling asleep on the other’s shoulder. Eventually, he told Jim about why his marriage really went downhill, while Jim opened up about his childhood and the neglect he had faced growing up. Their friendship went deeper than everything Leonard had ever experienced. 

“Would you really want me to have a girlfriend?” asked Leonard curiously.

Jim looked at him bewilderedly. “Why?”

“I’d have to make her a priority, right?” He shrugged. “Spend time with her so often, sleep at her place. We’ll hardly see each other. And who would take care of you? You gotta find someone who’d get you out of trouble first, someone who always returns your calls and texts no matter the time and place.

“Hmm,” Jim made a humming sound as he rested his head against the pillow, he put between himself and the bed frame. “Could be a problem,” he sighed before chuckling. “It sounds horrible now that you put it that way.” 

“See.”

“But I want you to be happy.”

Leonard watched Jim carefully and spoke as sincerely as he could: “I am happy.”

Smiling, the other man deleted the picture and turned off the device.

Eight Years Later

From a prompt on the “Former Lovers Meet Again” theme by @alloftheprompts

Have some slightly angsty McKirk!!

On a bustling street in the business district of Risa, a man stood outside a jewelry store, staring at the box in his hand. He knew he needed to go in and be done with it, let go of the past and walk out with the credits he knew the item in the velvet box would bring, but he kept thinking of how much the sapphire reminded him of her eyes–those unearthly, brilliant, blue eyes that still haunted him even after eight years.

The fifth time he stopped short of walking through the door, a woman’s voice spoke from nearby.

“Getting cold feet?” She asked sympathetically. “A man pacing in front of a jewelry store is a pretty serious tell.”

He froze and slowly turned around to face the woman sitting on the bench beside shopping bags–a woman who just happened to be his former Captain, former best friend, former everything.

“I’m here to sell, not buy,” Leonard McCoy said in as even a tone as he could, while his heart leaped and hand shook at the sight of her.

When they made eye contact, the woman gasped and her hand flew to her mouth in surprise.

“B-bones? What are you doing on Risa? I thought you were earth bound?”

The subtle edge to the last words made him wince.

“Good to see you again, Captain,” he said politely as he battled with the turmoil she’d stirred up inadvertently. Things had gone great until he found he couldn’t be in two places at once and neither could she. So, he’d chosen earth because Jo needed a parent in her life. He and Jem hadn’t parted on the best of terms and who knew what she thought of him now?

“I’m here treatin’ myself to a vacation. I’m an empty nester now that Jo’s off to college.”

“I see,” Jem Kirk said, looking a little uneasy herself. Then she recovered with a witty comeback.

“Are you selling off the family jewels to pay for the tuition?” She asked, a hint of the old mischief in her tone.

Leonard couldn’t help but grin, even as he shoved the box deep into his pocket. No way was he going to risk her seeing the ring and asking questions, opening up old wounds in the process. He’d made his choice and she’d made hers. There was no going back.

“Nope, just somethin’ I bought impulsively awhile ago and should’ve got rid of years ago.” He hastened to change the subject.

“How are ya doin’, Jem? I see you survived the second mission surprisingly intact.”

He allowed teasing surprise to show in his voice and Jem smiled at him, shaking her head in amusement at his typical skepticism. She hadn’t aged much, he noticed, but there were lines around her eyes and mouth he didn’t remember.

“Oh, ye of little faith, Bones,” she said dryly. “There were plenty of close calls that would’ve turned your hair white. I see it’s only moderately grey. Looks very distinguished.”

“Earth might not be as treacherous as space, but Jo sure did her best to age me the last few years,” he admitted. “Teenagers.” He shuddered and Jem laughed briefly.

“Was it worth it, Bones?” She asked abruptly, a touch of angst in her voice that had him once again regretting how badly things had ended.

“Overall, yes,” he said honestly. “But don’t think I didn’t miss you or regret how we ended it. It was one of those things: life happened. Who knew Jocelyn would run off to Belize with Clay and relinquish all rights to Jo?”

Jem nodded, picking at the head of the snazzy blouse she was wearing.

“I knew you did the right thing, Bones. I shouldn’t have said those awful things to you. Spock pointed out how illogical it was to accuse you of abandoning me when I would have made you abandon Jo. Of all people, I should have understood how important it was for her to have her dad with her.”

“I could have tried harder for a compromise, maybe brought her on the ship, but the Krall mess was so fresh in my mind, I couldn’t stomach the idea.”

“Why didn’t you try harder to persuade me not to take the second five year mission?” Jem asked. “I might have stayed.”

“Yeah, but you wouldn’t have been happy for long on the ground. I could see your heart was still in the stars and I realized I couldn’t take that from you, much as it killed me to leave you.”

“It was so……weird and……quiet without you,” she told him. “Dr. M’Benga was great, but he’s not you. I missed your vicious hypos and your continued grumbling and arguing with Spock. No one ever chewed me out for being reckless or called me an insufferable infant.”

Leonard snorted. “Those were the days,” he recalled fondly, looking back at their three years in space together. After a moment he ventured to broach another question.

“You headed back out for a third five-year mission?”

“I don’t know yet,” Jem admitted. “My zest for it isn’t what it was. The Enterprise will likely get another, but Sulu is more than ready for command. I’ve reached the point where I’m okay staying closer to home. There’s only so many alien dungeons one can wind up in before it gets old. What about you? Still set on staying planet bound?”

“For now,” Leonard answered. “But if a certain captain were to find herself in need of a CMO again, well, I might be persuaded.”

He slipped her his new comm number with a wink. His itch for adventure had never been huge, but it was revived just being in her presence.

Jem’s eyes softened and she leaned in for a hug, both of them sighing a little at the contact which had once been as natural as breathing.

“I’ll be sure to take you up on that, Bones. You want to come get a bite to eat and swap stories with me? There’s a great Bajoran place just down the street.”

“Sounds good,” Leonard said, standing up and offering her a hand. “Lead on, Captain.”

Jem grabbed his arm and steered him along happily.

“Thank you, Bones. There’s no way I’m gonna let you walk away without some proper catching up.”

Leonard grinned and followed her, feeling hopeful that their friendship could be salvaged out of the wreck they’d made of a relationship.

He sure wouldn’t let eight years of silence happen again, either way.

In the end, he never ended up selling the sapphire and Jem flaunted it about on her ring finger a Year and a half later.

“Thank goodness I ran into you before you got rid of it, Bones,” she’d say while snuggling. “It’s so perfect!”

“Hmm, not as perfect as you, darlin’.” Leonard told her fondly.
