A/N: Sequel to Best Intentions. http://www.fireflyfans.net/bluesun.aspx?bid=13892>Best Intentions: Chapter 1. Just in case you haven’t read it …
This story takes place approximately 6 months after the events of Best Intentions. Just to give everyone a quick overview Simon and Kaylee have settled for the time-being on Sihnon, while the rest of the crew, and their new mechanic, Rafe, make their way in the ‘verse. Simon and Kaylee are engaged.
As with most of my stuff, this story will heavily focus on Simon/Kaylee and Mal/Inara. I wouldn’t say it’s imperative to read Best Intentions first, but I think doing so would curtail a lot of hand scratching and “Huh?”s.
Many, many thanks to Leiasky who guided me through this story and offered much needed insight and, of course, great beta-ing skills and to Kaynara for helping to round it out and giving it another look.
This story is 24 chapters and a short epilogue, and is the 2nd installment in a trilogy that will be concluded by Unforeseen Consequences. I am still writing the 3rd part, but I predict it will be about 20 chapters. So, strap yourselves in for some angst, some smut and a whole lot of our beloved BDHs!
And please don’t make me beg for comments … please?!?!?!
Okay, I’m done begging now.
“You ain’t serious.”
Simon paused in his shaving and stepped out of the bathroom, cocking an eyebrow at her. “Don’t I look serious?”
Kaylee’s incredulous expression turned to one of complete shock as she watched him return to the sink, his back once again facing her. “Simon, they’re yer folks.”
With a small sigh, Simon held his tongue, guessing that any answer he might give his beautiful fiancée at the moment would not only be misconstrued, but unwelcome. Finishing as quickly as he could without nicking his skin, Simon finally wiped the excess cream from his face and walked back into the bedroom, sitting beside Kaylee on the bed. Lyi
Just got back from the farm and was delighted to see the first chapter of your second part of this wonderful story up. You've definitely got the ball rolling on a few things, and eager to see what happens.
I like how you subtly re-introduce things from the last story as well as give small updates on where everyone's at. I like the idea of Kaylee working at an orphanage and with kids and how Asher asking a simple question opened up that old can of worms. Personally, I would have had her working at a garage, since that's where her true passion lies, but that's me.
Can't wait to read the next chapter. Maybe with your writing and after my first summer class, I'll finally get back to work on YCGHA.
SO happy you've started this, I've been waiting with baited breath (what does that actually mean?) And you didn't dissapoint! Such a wonderful start to what I know will be a wonderful story. You really do constantly outshine yourself. Can't wait for more. I would give it an 11 if I could!

You can't take the sky from me
I've been waiting for this one. and just by this chapter I can tell it was worth the wait.
The kids are very cute, hope to see(?) more of them. That Asher broke my heart when he said 'tou don’t gotta adopt me, if’n you don’t wanna,'
Great start! Simon returning to work, Yea!
Kaylee volunteering at the orphanage is very sweet...as far as a vocation, I see her more as a gifted technical/mechanical kinda gal, too.
And poor Inara, I really feel for her here. She's got a demon of a past to live with, but I hope she heeds Mal's advice to leave that little girl alone right now.
and there's more, a trilogy?
A Mom's Day gift, Thanks!
Still! Utterly brilliant work here, TamSibling! Definitely was all kinds of teary on Kaylee's behalf when Ash innocently commented on Kaylee being a good mom candidate, as I could imagine Kaylee being far from anything resembling healed from losing her child. Also really gotta wonder what's going through Inara's head, as I would like to think she's got enough common sense to know sticking her oar into her daughter's life at this stage in the game would be extremely distressing. Really hope Mal and River and the rest of the crew can help her see that...

Inara is just going to open a huge can of worms and, no doubt, a lot of angst to go along with it by seeking out her daughter.
I still love Eli and his joking nature with Simon, and his love for Kaylee. It'll be interesting to see who wins the disagreement over inviting his parents to the wedding.
