Summary: Joanna's sent her father a gift.
Note: For mistressofrohan, who wanted Kirk/McCoy, jigsaw puzzle.
Joanna's gift caught up with her father ten months into the second year of the mission. It had been intended as a birthday gift, and Leonard took it as such, late though it was.
He had to request a special table for his quarters to accommodate it, thankful that as chief medical officer he had the private space in which to do that, crowded though the room became.
Naturally, Jim's curiosity was aroused, and he came to see what all of Leonard's fuss was about.
"What is it?" he asked, fingering one of the pieces.
"Have you never seen a jigsaw puzzle before?" Leonard was surprised, although on reflection perhaps he shouldn't have been. God knew that stepfather of Jim's had not been one for providing toys and games to his wife's sons. "The pieces fit together to make a picture. This one has a hundred different pictures; the control box lets you choose which you want."
Leonard had left it on the one that Joanna had chosen, an image of a white frame house that reminded him of his grandmother's.
"I see." Jim poked at a few pieces, fitting two together. "Want some help?"
"I'd love your help." Leonard smiled.
