1. The ficlet is based on the premise that K&S have a pair of biological sons. Don't ask me to explain it. I will cite alien stuff. It's not mpreg though.
2. 2. This will probably be a series of drabbles, ficlets, and if I'm ever studious enough, fics. For a list of the parts written so far, see File 001.
3. With apologies to the writers of Psych. (That show is adorable!)

Vacation on Earth is not exactly Jim Kirk's favorite way to spend his shore leave time, especially without Spock. This alternate vacation thing is really starting to get to him, even though he understands the necessity of not leaving Enterprise without both of her first and second in command. Spock could be very persuasive, be it with logic or teeth, or just playing dirty.

If it was up to Kirk, he wouldn't have taken the shore leave time in the first place. But Spock insisted that the children needed to spend some time on the ground, it was the least they could do as parents. The Vulcan was very persuasive in this matter, too.

So here is Kirk, lying on a beach chair next to the swimming pool with a hat over his face and a glass of Cardassian Sunrise by his hand. He's supposed to be watching the children, yes, but there is not harm in letting Sivak do that for him for a while, because a hyper Romy has been driving him completely insane. No, better to unleash his hellspawn on the staff of this hotel. Besides, despite Sivak's tendency to bury his nose in a physics book, the kid apparently has amazing peripheral vision as far as his brother is concerned.

He sighs when he hears two sets of footsteps approaching in unison.

"Gentlemen, you are back earlier than I expected."

....and it figures that when he removes the hat to look up at the kids, Romy is sporting a black eye.

"Explain."

"It's not my fault!" Romy blurts out angrily, "I didn't do anything!"

"I said, explain." Kirk mentally pats himself on the back for the amount of authority he's bringing into his voice. Maybe he's getting better at this disciplinary action stuff.

"Sivak and I were just eating ice cream and minding our own business, then this Orion girl came over and sat down next to me. We moved, she came over again!"

"Uh-huh."

"Then she asked if I wanted a bite of her ice cream, I said no. She asked me if she can have a bite of mine then, I said HELL NO."

"Uh-huh."

"She asked me why not, I said I didn't want her spit to get into my ice cream, and then—"

"—And then she punched you," Kirk finishes the sentence for his son, because Romy's face is so red he looks like he's about to cry.

"It's not fair! I didn't do anything to her!"

"Yeah well," Kirk puts the hat back on so the children wouldn't see the smirk on his face. "I believe your father would say you emotionally compromised her. She beat you up because she liked you. Trust me, I know these things. At least you didn't get choked."

Romy makes a sharp noise, clearly startled.

"I hate girls."

"Right. Well, as you were, gentlemen. Stay away from the girl. Oh, I hope you didn't hit her back?" There are few Orions in this city, most of them people of influence. He did promise Spock to stay out of diplomatic incidents on this trip.

He does not like the silence that greets him. With another sigh the hat is pulled off again, and this time it's Sivak who speaks, looking like he's giving a science report.

"No, Captain. Romy did not hit her."

Now thoroughly alarmed, Jim Kirk narrows his eyes at the twins.

"Do you mean to tell me that you did?"

"Your assumption is erroneous. I merely put some plomeek seeds into her ice cream while she was busy screaming at Romy. I doubt she would notice them given all the sprinkled nuts on it."

Kirk’s momentarily relief is soon replaced by horror.

"Sivak, you gave plomeek seeds to an Orion!? She won't be able to eat anything for days!" Roasted plomeek seed is the twins' favorite snack. It's also an acquired taste for humans, and even Kirk himself hasn't managed to like it even after years with Spock. But for Orions it invariably triggers intense diarrhea that lasts for days. Kirk found this out the hard way, by hosting a particularly unfortunate Orion envoy on the Enterprise. "Don't you remember what happened to that Mr. Navan when he asked to try plomeek tea on our ship!?"

Sivak only smiles.
