Jayne:
I was bringing in the rest of my guns into our bunk when I found Zoe, sitting on our bed looking like someone done shot and mutilated her favorite toy. I cursed Mal under my breath, God only knew what he had got us into now. I went to say something, but I decided against it. She knew my feelings towards Mal’s decisions since I’ve always been the more vocal of the crew and I weren’t gonna stay anything that would help her so it was better if my trapped stayed shut. But it killed me to see her looking so sad.
“I am finally done with moving out my artillery,” I said and she didn’t say anything. “It probably would’ve been better if you told me that you wanted to me to move in before I put all my things back in their place,” I grinned to let her know it was a joke, but she still didn’t say anything.
“Jayne,” she said, her voice was small. Maybe even a little scared. I went to her and touch her face.
“Are you okay? I mean, “ I sighed in frustration. “What did the Cap do now?” I blurted out and she took my hand. I sat besides her on the bed.
“Can I ask you a question?” she said ignoring my previous questions and I nodded. “How do you feel about settling down again and having a family?”
“Wo de Ma! Are you pregnant, Bao bei?” I asked panicked and she rolled her eyes and finally smiled. And then she laughed. I couldn’t do anything, but look at her shock
Please make sure to include Kaylee's POV in the next chapter when Simon apologizes for being stubborn. I really want to see her reaction when he admits what was making him so bull-headed.
The Mal-Inara and Jayne-Zoe moments were great too, though the former couple's scene is too short to really know if the characters were caught but Mal's comments to Inara are plausible and heartfelt. The latter? Hmm...I am liking the Zayne pairing as it's being done by your hand, but it is rough territory because of the major shifts in character both have undergone and will undergo due to the scenario of Jayne and Zoe growing closer over similiar experiences and hang-ups...and the new possibility Zoe will leave Serenity or oppose Mal's actions if he gets the crew invovled with the New Independence movement.
