Previous Chapters: , , , , and *** Chapter 7: *** “It ain’t nothin’.” Jayne frowned and tried to move away from her, but she pressed him down into the chair. “Kaylee, you don’t gotta…” Her fingers trailed softly over the purple shoulder, his skin swollen and shiny. She did that to him, it was the last in a long line of things she’d done. The muscles shifted under her touch and she looked up to see him clenching his jaw. “Don’t be such a jing xiao gou, Jayne.” He glared and pouted, but sat still anyway as she applied the salve. It was automatic, the soft humming as she did it, the way she blew air through her lips to cool the sting. Behind her, she could hear the soft, melodic sound of James talking to himself. It amused her, how easily he took to the ship, how much he’d made the shuttle home in just a few days. He busied himself checking all the nooks and crannies. She’d gone straight to Inara’s shuttle as soon as they’d woken up and found them sitting up in bed, playing some game with their hands. It was still hard to accept, the realization that he didn’t need her so much, even if that was what she wanted. Wanted him
“He could.” Her voice was hopeful and he couldn’t breathe. “He could know, if you wanted. That’s what I’m askin’.”>
Girl, so dear, so haunting.
Hope you're feeling better!
I held my breath as James went around naming everyone, waiting to get to Jayne! Can't wait until he calls him Daddy! *hand on heart*
I can feel the ending coming and I wish it could go on forever! It's my 'fix' for the day!

Hey! I just made a reference to the BDM without even tryin'!
If possible, this fic just gets more and more beautiful:
"She could remember so many years ago, lying in his arms, how gentle he’d been then. Remembered how much he’d given her, how little he’d asked back."
and funny:
“So, uh.” Jayne grinned. “Just how big an ow we talkin’ here? I gotta go get myself shot?”
I'll just sit right here and wait for the next installment.

Thanks for that last dose of crack!

"Stay away from him..." OOOOH! The angst! 10!10!
That is, unless Kaylee already did it?
Anxiously awaiting answers to these questions and more...
I meant "PLANETside" not "plant".
Though, on second thought, that actually sounds kinda cool.
I'm here holding my breath...the instant James will know and call Jayne "daddy".
I can see Jayne crying here.
Get well soon my dear Jacqui.
and yes, get better!!!
