CATEGORY: FICTION TIMES READ: 3100 RATING: 9.0 (G) SERIES: FIREFLY
Chapter 6
A/N: Disclaim to the power of a lot. I just took Joss’ characters and verse and played with ‘em a bit. Strictly for fun.
A/N: I would recommend going back and reading Chapter 5 again so that you’re in the right frame of mind for this one. I’ll even link it for you. http://www.fireflyfans.net/bluesun.aspx?bid=6576
Simon only had a single moment of shock and then he snapped back into his physician mentality. He pulled back her eyelids and checked her pupils as he very gently held her on the infirmary bed. Keeping her from falling off the cot was not difficult, however, her body convulsed and jerked rapidly and he needed to be sure she didn‘t injure herself further.
“What can I do, Doc?” Zoe entered swiftly standing at the ready.
“She’s seizing. Keep her still, but we’re going to have to turn her on her side and let it run its course.” When Zoe moved to take Simon’s position, turning Kaylee on her side, Simon shifted over to the cabinet to prepare some medication for Kaylee.
“We cain’t do nothing’? the underlying mood in her voice was accusing.
“We’d do more damage than aid.” Simon looked up at Zoe across Kaylee’s now wilting form. His facial expression was firm but sympathetic. He glanced at the screen to see her vitals every few seconds. They both carefully laid Kaylee on her back as she went completely limp and Simon indicated with his head to a tall metal cylinder standing in the corner. “Could you move that canister close to the bed, please?”
Zoe quickly repositioned it with ease. “What’s goin’ on Doc?”
“The brain needs constant Oxygen and this is the largest supply we have.” While he quickly and competently hooked Kaylee up to the Oxygen he gestured again to the counter of medicines. “Will you hand me that syringe and the small bottle marked Dilantin?”
“So how’s our patient?” Wash’s voice died down from hopeful into concern when he saw the activity and faces in the room.
Zoe just looked at her husband and he came over to her side immediately. They both looke
River sat at the dining room table with her sketch pad in front of her. Half the page was a very well done rendition of Serenity’s engine and the other half was covered in mathematical equations. She muttered to herself as she computed. “If the numerical values indicate a revenue then a campaign is probable.” River shook her head and scrunched her nose at the numbers and then leaned in close to the paper writing fervently.
Of course,... simple drawing and complicated math. The girl's a mystery..and you completley caught that!
Jayne walked in the dining room and headed straight for his food locker. He opened it and flung around the contents finding nothing to his liking. He glanced at River and then opened the locker next to his, belonging to Zoe. He quickly shoved in his hand and pulled out a container holding the remains of a dinner that Shepherd Book had prepared a few nights back. He smiled wickedly as he spread it out on a plate.
MEANIE! Its kids like this I hated in Kindergareten.. :P
“Not yours.” River said, not even looking up at Jayne and still fussing over her paper.
Yeah! LOL Still fussing over her paper
Jayne merely curled his upper lip and grunted as he moved to put the now empty container back into Zoe’s locker.
“Won’t taste good when it’s dirty.” River added nonchalantly.
I love the way she says things nonchalantly. Like when she says "Just keep walking preacher man..."
Simon entered the room and went directly to River while Jayne searched for a fork.
“River. You’re supposed to be with Inara.” Simon’s voice held that overly protective brotherly tone.
River looked up from her work at an odd angle and with annoyance clearly in her voice (~*I love that part*~) she said, “She’s busy. Finding out’s gonna be a showstopper.”
^^ It's in there...
Simon’s brows netted together for a moment. “I’ll ask Wash and Zoe to check in on you. I’ll be with Kaylee if you need me though.”
LOL Poor simon and his furrowed brows! They'll be stuck like that soon... Simon is such a boob.
River rolled her eyes and went back to her work.
As Simon turned around to go ask the couple to look in on River, he slammed right into Jayne who was on his way to the table, effectively knocking his plate right out of his hands and causing the food to spill all over the floor. Simon muttered an apology and hurried out the door. Jayne clenched his jaw and his nostrils flared.
River let a tiny smile spread over her face as she heard several obscenities escape through his tightly clamped teeth.
LOL!! Perfect ending to this segment! I love it. I can just imagine her thinking.. "Told ya so..."
And some other tidbits-
I didnt understand at first when Kaylee was having a seizure but I got it and then I got really worried! Thank god for the internet and great continuity for you, making Simon all smart-like. :P
10!10!10!
And go Simon, go! Between the two of us, we've made quite the man of action out of him, haven't we?
Keep it comin'.
