Summary: A boy's best friend is his mother. (What if Winona Kirk weren't a distant, absent mother, but rather a pretty good mom dealing with a painful history and a difficult set of circumstances? What if Frank weren't an abusive stepfather? What if Jim Kirk were just a bright, normal kid, who's mostly just trying to figure out his place in the world?)

Warnings: References to Tarsus IV.

Jim's mother's eyes go flat and empty whenever anyone mentions Jim's real father, who has been dead for 3,812 days. Jim has no idea why he's thinking about his dead father when his mother's frantic voice wakes him.
