AN: Here's the chapter that *would* have been chapter 19 if there hadn't been a demand for Simon's childhood stories ;)
AN2: Also, think out names people... I want many suggestions... lol
*** Here she comes ***
When she had felt it at dinner, she had thought it to be indigestion and thought nothing more of it. When she'd felt the spasms, while observing the preacher's work on her baby, she had thought it to be yet another false alarm. There was still a month to go, after all. And after her first encounter with Braxton Hicks, she'd stopped worrying so much over small pains in her nethers. But when she was brought out of her cozy dream by a very sharp pain, her and Simon's bed completely drenched, Kaylee finally ackowledged what was happening and sat up in the bed.
- Simon, she whispered.
Simon was in deep slumber. They were always snuggled up, while sleeping, even in her current condition they had a way of always touching in some sort of way, as if they just wanted to feel each others presence. Simons form was gently brushing up against hers. His arm resting on her belly. He groaned in his sleep, but was too deep in it to really ackowledge that she was speaking to him. She put her hand on his shoulder gently shaking it.
- Simon, she repeated, a little louder.
- Hmm..., he murmured, slowly opening his eyes.
- She's coming...
Kaylee let out a whimper as she felt another contraction rush through her and grabbed Simons hand. This woke him right away and he sat up.
- Now, he asked, turning towards her, eyes wide. - There's still a month left...
- I know that, Kaylee snapped. - But she ain't waitin'
- I'm sorry, Simon murmured, putting his hands on each side of her head and planted a kiss on her temple. - This just caught me by surprise.
- You an' me both...
Kaylee looked down, she didn't mean to snap at him, for once he hadn't deserved it, then squeesed Simons hand hard as she felt another contraction. When her grip loosened, Simon let out a groan of pain and rubbed his hand.
My favorite paragraph is:
""Mal leaned forward to look at the baby, his brow raised. True enough there in Simons arms were a wailing baby boy. He looked all kinds of gross, his head pinched and covered in slime. Though he suspected for Simon it was the most beautiful sight of all.""
LOL All kinds of gross, and his head pinched! I cant wait for names!
20 chapters! And im still lovin it! ALL HAIL MS.KITTEN!!
Many shiny's for you!
As for names: For the girl maybe Sakura (japanese for Cherry Blossom), and for the boy Davin, (a kinda of twist on David, as I think Simon might look to more tradional Earth-that-was names.)
I know someone else used it around here already, but I like Brooke as a girl, kind of a play on River.
I call dibs on Brooke. I'm using it in my story.
Can I suggest Riley and Simone as boy and girl names. Variations on Kaylee and Simon.

Fraser is Norman French for Strawberry
