AN: This plot line has been banging around in my head for a couple of months. I finally had to let it out to see the light of day. I will be working on this and Big Blue concurrently.

This story is set fifteen years into the future from my current storyline “Big Blue”.

The character's ages are roughly guessed from the series and BDM. Jayne is a bit younger in my Allanverse than some other authors have made him. Zoe, Allan and the rest of our hero's have been married and now have families of their own. This is a mostly Allan/Zoe centric storyline with the rest of the crew as supporting players (Including kids).
