"That is not, nor has it ever been true, Jo." He told her. "Yes, he had to leave...for a lot of reasons. But he always told me how much he missed you and wanted to be with you."

"Okay." She says letting out a breath not clinging as much but still staying close to her Daddy like he might disappear if she didn't.

"There's only one Starfleet academy. And if you don't live in San Francisco, you have to catch a shuttle there. Well, I was late to the shuttle, and there were only two seats left, so I took it. Just before take off, they found your Daddy in the bathroom. Turns out, he was afraid to fly in the regular seats. They made him sit next to me. I knew I was in love when he looked at me and said "I may throw up on you.""

"Jo, what happened when you had the chicken pox?" Leonard asks a smile on his face.

"Because when he got on the shuttle he looked like he needed a friend, and I needed a friend even if I didn't think I did, and well Jim made himself my friend." He laughed a little.
