A deleted scene from the beginning of Star Trek IV had Saavik staying on Vulcan because she was pregnant with Spock's child.
Wasn't Saavik Spock's protegee, not Sarek's? Of course, there's still the unnamed son whose wedding Picard mentions in "Sarek" (TNG S3E23). At least I've always assumed that he wasn't talking about Spock since Spock never married after breaking off his bond with T'Pring.
In the licensed fiction, there are a few versions of Saavik’s origin, but the most commonly cited one is that Spock found her as a hybrid Romulan/Vulcan child in an abandoned Romulan colony (sometimes named Hellguard). He then took her to be raised by Sarek and Amanda, visiting her regularly and eventually sponsoring her into Starfleet.
Also, in the novels, Saavik and Spock eventually marry, and that’s the wedding that’s spoken of. But how much you want to accept that depends on your squick factor. Given the longevity of Vulcans, the 34 year age gap may not matter that much (she was 65 and he was 99 when they were betrothed; 80 and 114 respectively when actually married).
Very cool. Thanks for filling in gaps.
