#pikeuna + 2 kids
Text
Throwing some ideas out there before I forget to be picked back up when I'm less insanely busy with work... The merging of two head canons about some of the crew freakishly de-aging into toddlers. I am now totally obsessed with the idea of Una's boys (Chris + Spock) and Chris' girls (Una + La'an) (thanks @emonydeborah)
_____
La'an is turned into a three year old in a freak accident and Una and Chris become her primary caretakers.
Then....It's been months and Spock, Pelia and the science division are working tirelessly to try and fix the situation and turn La'an big again. In which time Una and Chris are growing closer whilst learning to parent a toddler who happens to be their co-worker. Lots of very cute and adorable moments occur between Una, Chris and La'an. Chris is very protective of his girls.
Spock comms that he might have a lead, Chris gets excited and goes down to see what Spock is up to. Una is on the bridge, busy, and can't get there until Chris comms her saying "Uh we might have a problem". Una rushes to them to find a lot of blue smoke and when it clears Chris is standing there with a baby Vulcan in his arms...
"Not again!"
Chris just shrugs his shoulders and gives her a look to say "Well we already have one kid, what's one more"
Una just rolls her eyes. "Come on boys, let's go home."
Adjusting to ~three year old La'an was tough, but to have a 1 year old Spock is certainly a new experience, full of a lot of bodily fluids neither of them were quite prepared for.
La'an is not happy when she gets home from being babysat by Uhura to find a baby in Chris' quarters. She's very grumpy that Una and Chris' attention is on Spock and she definitely tries to pinch him when they're not looking.
Chris gives her lots of cuddles and extra stories that night to try and compensate for the unexpected arrival of Baby!Spock.
Later on, Uhura replicates a book her parents read to her when she was a kid when her baby brother was born, about getting a new sibling. La'an tears out the pages and cries.
La'an still ends up extra clingy to Una and throws a tantrum every time Una tries to hold Baby!Spock.
Chris and Una are exhausted looking after Baby!Spock and Little La'an whilst also trying to take care of their crew. Una has to pull extra hours in Science with Spock now incapacitated and Chris carries baby Spock in a carrier everywhere he goes. (thanks @m0rbs for the inspiration and image in my mind).
Spock hates all clothes and takes off whatever he can...in the end Erica replicates him a little Star Fleet uniform as a last resort and it ends up being the only clothes Spock doesn't immediately scream over and try and take off.
Chris' quarters become the defecto base for both kids and Una. When the next crew dinner rolls around there are a lot of shocked faces when they enter to see how messy the living quarters are...clothes and toys are everywhere, there's stuffing coming out of cushions and crayon marks on the walls. Christine and Uhura stay behind to tidy up and clean. Chris mutters to Una as they try not to fall asleep at the kitchen counter that they have the best crew in the fleet.
Una singing Spock Illyrian lullabies to him and rocking him in her arms.
One night Spock will not stop crying...to not wake La'an, Chris takes Spock on a walk around the Enterprise. They end up seeing the Warp Core...the sound is soothing and Spock finally sleeps through the night whilst Chris slumps against a console. In the morning, Una and La'an bring Chris breakfast and Spock a bottle in the morning. Chris kisses Una's cheek in thanks, she blushes but puts this display of affection down to his sleep deprivation. La'an is finally starting to warming up to Baby!Spock and even helps Chris feed Spock his bottle.
Another night both kids are being difficult, Chris takes Spock and Una takes La'an. After several hours, La'an finally falls asleep and Una carefully untangles herself from toddler limbs and the bedcovers, she leaves the bedroom to find Chris fast asleep on the couch whilst Spock is wide awake but no longer crying, his fingers tracing Chris' face. Una smiles...her boys.
One night Chris and Una end up cramped on the edge of his bed nose-to-nose because there's no other space because La'an and Spock have spread eagled across 90% of the space. They laugh in their tiredness and say they wouldn't trade this experience for the stars. Chris comments that all they need now is a dog and Una says not to jinx it because what if a crew member turns into a Beagle next, and she really needs Pelia to find a cure for Baby!Spock and Little!Laan and not bark demands.
The rest of the crew sees how exhausted the command team are and offer to babysit Baby!Spock and Little La'an whilst Una and Chris go on a date rest...I can only see this going badly (but in an utterly hilarious way).
At some point they'll need to call Amanda and Sarek to explain what's happened to their son. Sarek will be like 'not my problem' and walk out of shot and Amanda will just coo at how cute baby!Spock is and explain how he was a very colic-y baby and totally cried for like a month straight when he was a baby before.
