Mal is freaking out and Inara uses her wiles to engage him in the time-honored art of stress relief. Fluffy, sexy, a dollop of angst, and a cherry on top. Rated R/NC-17 for sex. Part of the <a href="http://www.fireflyfans.net/bluesun.aspx?bid=16539""Seeing you in a different... shirt"</a> series.
CATEGORY: FICTION TIMES READ: 3896 RATING: 8.0 (NC17) SERIES: FIREFLY
A.N.: A burden shared can be overcome. Oh ye of little faith, thinking I couldn’t make a fluffy, sexy, and semi-angsty finale to this series! Hope you like it. Comments welcome and adored. Uber-much thanks to AgentOmega for the beta and the happy ending.
Comes after , , and WARNING: Rated R/NC-17 for sex. --- Mal was freaking out. He’d been freaking out for the last forty-five minutes and Inara was getting tired of it. She couldn’t quite understand why he was freaking out, because the whole gorram thing was his idea. But it seemed the plan had grown on her a little more than it had on him (literally), and today, he’d just lost it. He was frantically muttering about guns, money, and chicken wire and had commandeered a hammer for one of the projects, though was swinging it about wildly when addressing the others. Inara leaned back in the chair in the galley, slowly slurping through a cup of soup that she balanced on her pregnant belly in between sips. She wore Mal’s blue shirt, buttoned only at the top, letting the bottom hang open around the bare skin of her stomach. She poked critically at the skin, smoothing creams on it to prevent stretch marks, trying desperately to ignore Mal’s momentary break down. Zoë had promised to knock him out if he got too out of control with the hammer, so she tried not to worry. “Hey, baby,” she cooed to the little life hiding under her own skin. “Can you hold this for me?” Inara balanced her cup on her belly and the baby hiccupped in response. “Don’t drink so much,” Inara teased her little one. She pursed her lips as Mal bustled through again, heading toward the cockpit, talking about a table saw, a refrigerator, and the market value of fresh green beans. Zoë trailed him at
Mal panicking and trying to baby-proof Serenity... and Inara hitting him with the Buddha to calm him down. Priceless.
Hilarious that they were bickering about how many minutes Mal gets to freak out. I can totally see that happening.
I love the way you've ended this series on a sweet, fluffy note. You've crafted such a happy, loving future for my favorite 'ship ever, and for that I thank you.
A wonderful ending to a wonderful... quadrilogy, is that what they call it?
Whatever the term, a most excellent job, VB.
And it was damn sexy too ...
You can't take the sky from me
I have to say...having Inara whack Mal over the head with a Buddha? Absolutely freaking brilliant! This whole chapter was one big ROFL moment, from start to finish! I bow to your genius;)

I agree; there is not enough M/I in between, the on going battle of the Raynes vs Maliver posts, lately.
Thanks!
