"Really?!" Spock gasped, his expression priceless as he thought of the prospect of doing that. "I would love that Daddy! You are the best Daddy ever!" he declared, confident in that as he finished off the soup, careful not to wolf it down, even if it did end up all around his mouth and on his hands. The little Spock tried not to touch anything and he grinned, "Sticky!"
"Hikaru!" Bones called as his little boy jumped off his lap and ran off to god knows where. "Hikaru....." he sighed and held his head in his hands. It wasn't a good sign that he was losing his memory...but all he could focus on was how much it hurt that the little boy didn't turn to him for comfort and would rather run. It was like rejection at the worst degree. Was he doing something wrong? That was the only thought trailing through his mind as he wiped away held back tears. The man stood and then quickly headed off in the direction the little biy had run, but he couldn't see him. "Hikaru!?" he called, tone broken.
