Chapter 5 Simon asks Mal a question.

Mal woke to the feel of a warm washcloth on his abdomen. He opened sleepy eyes and grinned at Simon. "Mornin'."

"Good morning." Simon leaned down and gave Mal a tender kiss. "We could really use a shower."

Mal glanced at the chronometer and groaned, "No time."

"How much time do we have?"

"We should be breaking atmo in about an hour, gotta meet with Badger an hour after that. Gotta get dressed and have a crew meeting before then."

"Oh, well, sponge baths can be fun, too."

"Yeah?"

"I'm a doctor, trust me. I know all about sponge baths," Simon smirked.

They proceeded to spend the next half hour washing each other and getting dressed, stealing kisses and caresses all the while. As they finished and were about to leave their bunk, Simon stopped Mal with a hand to his forearm. "Mal?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you think we'll have time while we're here to have a nice steak dinner somewhere?"

"Don't rightly know. Depends on what Badger has lined up for us. Knowin' him, we'll be out of the world almost before the engines cool down, but I'll see what I can do. Steak does sound good, now you mention it," Mal smiled as he hugged Simon.

"Tell me again, Mal, why we keep dealing with Badger," Simon said quietly.

There was a strong hint of steel in Mal's voice as he replied, "You know why. Because he keeps giving us jobs, and we need the coin."

You write Simon and Mal so well together but I have to worry about Badger's job being delayed and whether that is true or whether he is up to something. So, Simon wants to be a daddy? Whatever next? Ali D :~)

Ali,

Thanks for the compliment! "Whatever next?" Oh, a little bit of angst, and a lot more fluff. What can I say, I like to write fluff. *shrugs* *g* Glad you're liking this story!

A brilliant chapter! It's so very Simon to want to be a part of something like that, to want a child. He seems like he'd be a natural at parenthood after being a father, so to speak, to River for so long.

I can't wait to read more!

I keep on missing chapters and not commenting! Darnit! Anyway, I love how Mal senses there's something coming, just by a change in Simon's mannerisms! :D Great!
