[McCoy's willing to meet Jim's gaze for as long as the captain holds it, but then he looks down again, watching the girl suck on that cow, and his heart hurts. He misses Jo. He misses being a daddy, he misses being able to tickle a little tummy with impunity and that Jo would always stop crying as soon as he picked her up. He misses swinging her around and hearing her laugh.
He makes a note to tell her he loves her, when they have their weekly vidchat. Even if she's nearly ten now and getting to the point where, when he tells her he loves her, she rolls her eyes and says god, dad.
It's easier to look back at Jim when the other man makes his admission, and he grins a little, crooked.]
