The Disclaimers: Star Trek in all its forms and series belongs to Gene Roddenberry and the corporations. I am just borrowing them for this fan fiction and mean no disrespect nor am I making a profit on the work.

This is a Snippet in the IDIC Universe. A brief view of how Amanda was able to be with Sarek. Dr. McCoy makes a startling discovery when he is testing Spock's blood to save Sarek in Journey to Babel. AU because it definitely plays with Cannon a little. If you have not read IDIC New Beginnings this will not make a lot of sense.

IDIC-It is all in the Genes-JTB

Captain Kirk's POV-

Begin Log-

  Now I remember why I hate diplomatic events. They never go smoothly. (Pause)

On the positive side we have gotten to meet Spock's family. The ambassador and Lady Amanda seem like wonderful people.(Pause)

Of course Spock could have warned me. Then again he is a very private person. Perhaps I was just projecting my feelings onto him. He is my friend but then Vulcan's often see things differently then humans do. (Pause)

Perhaps I should try to be more understanding. Give him the room to be more open if he wishes. I  know that he is the best first officer in the fleet and I don't want to make him wish to leave. However… Maybe he could uses human insight. After all we humans are experts on emotion and it is clear this family has a lot for all their reserve. (Pause)

Ambassador Sarek is an impressive being one I hope to know better in time. Lady Amanda well she is beautiful. It is hard to believe she has a son Spock's age. I wonder if maybe she found him under a cabbage patch? Of course he never understand the joke. But really she looks like she is only in here early 30's not at all a woman of over 50. Then again… she have to be in tip top shape to keep up with a Vulcan. Their days are longer and their world a lot harsher then Earth. She is remarkable. Well at least the Doctor managed to save both her husband and son stubborn beings that they are.  However I do not think she would have them any other way. It is clear she loves them both very much and they are both lucky bastards.
