Into the Unknown

Chapter 2

By Belasera

Rated NC-17 for the series

A vague disclaimer is nobody’s friend: All recognizable characters, etc. belong not to me, but to Joss Whedon, Mutant Enemy, and Fox, and no money is being made here. The story, however, is mine.

Archiving: Sure, just tell me where it is so I can send my baby care packages with funny hats.

Please excuse the sappiness of this fic, it’s author is in love….

“Jayne, were are we goin’?”

“Goin’ to get the preacher.”

Kaylee tugged at his arm and laughed.

“Jayne, I’m naked.”

He looked her up and down appreciatively.

“Yeah, I know.”

“Well?”

“Aw, it’s nothin’ he ain’t seen before.”

“Yeah, it is. He’s a Shepard. Anyway, Mal should be the one to marry us, he married Wash and Zoe.”

“We’ll tell ‘em in the morning?” He began kissing her neck.

“Mmm hmm”

“You won’t change your mind?” He breathed it against her ear.

“Not before breakfast. Now come back to bed, and finish what you started.”

Jayne stood still and stared at the floor, waiting for her to come back. Mal looked at him curiously and Jayne avoided eye contact. He wondered if Mal would even allow this, maybe he’d been only tolerating their tumbling and now…well, no matter. This was going to happen; no damn Captain would stand in his way of claiming the best gorram thing life had ever offered him. He looked up and caught River’s eye. She grinned at him.
