Heritage-Chapter Twenty Five

In a swirl of snow, Sara Jane Bryant gently settled the new Firefly named after her to the ground. Right next to Serenity.

Allan couldn't hid his grin, “That's my girl.”

Sara's toffee complexion darkened a bit with a blush, “Thanks Daddy.”

“Keep that up and you'll be as good as your old man,” Reggie grinned.

“Wow Sara, you didn't even wake Mike up,” Alisha stated.

You couldn't have pried the smile off Sara's face with explosives.

“Well, lets collect some luggage and get you folks up to the house,” Allan said, standing from the co-pilot's station.

“Not the guest house?” Alisha asked.

“Occupied,” Allan replied, “Oso and Fred. You guys can stay in the guest bedroom.”

“You sure you want a baby in the house?” Reggie asked, “Mike's got a one heck of a good set of lungs on him when he wakes up.”

“Must be the Alleyne side of the family then. Sara was plenty loud too if I recall.”

“Daddy!” Sara whined.

“Come on,” Allan encouraged, “Zoë will be home from work soon.”

The family made their way down to the cargo bay, collecting luggage on the way.

It was going to be a good Christmas.

“Sorry to pull you away from River the day you get back Jayne,” Zoë said to her investigator as she leaned in through his office door.

“S' okay Zo',” Jayne replied, “I'll make it up ta' her tonight.”
