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.

Spock's POV

Spock's Personal Log-

It is clear that my mother is "Feeling Better." I have always known that my parents are close. (Pause Log)

It seems that their bond has endured. (Pause Log) It is also clear that my mother was very angry with my father. I still find it difficult to believe that he hid his condition from her. (Pause Log)

I did not believe it was possible to block such a thing from a bond-mate. However it is clear that this condition of my father's truly frightened my mother. It has always been clear that my mother is dependant on my father. My mother depends on him deeply. (Pause Log)

I also know that my mother has always expected that my father would outlive her. It was a logical assumption. My mother is only human and Sarek is Vulcan. A healthy Vulcan male can easily live to be over 250 years old and Sarek was only 60 when he meet my mother. She logically believed he would live far past this. My Father is in his prime and this illness was unexpected. (Pause Log)

I find it most disturbing that such a defect had not been discovered sooner. Doctor Mc Coy had a lot of choice words to say about the healers who missed this threat to my father health. (Pause Log)

I must admit for that for once he is right. I believe that this must be brought to the attention to the healers that such a defect of the heart is running in the family line. Such a thing should have been addressed far sooner. This entire incident has caused great stress on she who is my mother and I am most displeased.  Once more I find that I am causing strife between my parents. It has never been my intention to do this. (Pause Log)

I find that it has oddly eased the relationship between Sarek and myself. He despite his disapproval of my choice to join Starfleet seems to have approved of my choice to remain on duty. This choice has show Sarek that I do know what duty means. (Pause)

Spock looked over and noted his mother was quietly talking to his mother.

I just hope in time my mother will understand that Duty is important. I know that to honor Sarek I must do my duty even if it had meant failing to help save his life. Duty is the essence of a Vulcan and I will always do my duty. The needs of the Many can and must always take precedence over the needs of the one. Even if it is the needs of a son to save his family.
