Geez, you guys are a vicious bunch, the things you're wishing on the mean man in Kaylee's memory. Look at it this way... at least you don't have to deal with him inside your head.

Rating: G.

Disclaimer: Only one is mine, the rest belong to Joss (you know, given the statement I made above, I guess at least two of them are mine, but... I don't really want the second one, Joss can have him).

Comments: I’m evil, you all know this, you certainly call me that to my face… (or, well, at least type it). So, really, I’m just helping you all out by making it true…

Chapter 8

***

"James? James, come here."

Jayne tapped his fingers nervously against his thighs as he waited for Kaylee to swoop down and pick up his son. The very words rang through him. He had no idea what to expect.

"James, sweetie?"

Kaylee kissed the top of his head and moved so that they were both facing him. Jayne could see it, the two of them together like that, their faces so close. He knew, just by looking, that James took after him, there weren't no way to hide it, but when they were so close like that, well, there weren't no mistakin' who that kid's mother was.

"James, Jayne here, Jayne's your daddy."

He waited. He didn't know what for. Something. Slowly, James' eyes traveled up to the top of his head and down to his feet, then back agai

Your description of Kaylee's experiences is mortifying. I will never look at an apple the same way again.

You are KILLLING me! Poor Kaylee and James. It's true. They can't seem to get a break. Of course, that won't stop this next thing: MORE PLEASE.

Your muse has been wonderful and fast. Thanks, Jacqui!

I'm heartsore from Kaylee's flashback, and then you have me laughin' like a jackass at the image of Cobb & Son tossin' horseshoes off the catwalk. That man ain't nothin' more than a big kid his ownself.

Kaylee's really showing some steel now. Her experiences could have broken her, but she's come out stronger for them. Bowed, but not broken. I think the rest of the crew is just starting to see that.

Hope the outrun the Reavers...

Oy, Reavers...just what they need, the poor lot of 'em.

I'll be thinking about them all day now, yikes...hope they come out all right!

My god, I am LOVING this story! Kaylee's strength is starting to show, and that is incredibly cool. Amazing what having a kid will do, I guess.

I can't believe how fast you're turning these out, but I'm sure not complaining.

I can hardly wait for more.

Another great installment Jacqui, thank you! Please, please, write again soon.

It's terrible. I want you to write the installments quickly becuase I want to know what happens....and I want to get to the end...but I don't want it to end. Know what I mean?

Thanks again

Gawd! My heart breaks for Kaylee and what she and James have been through. These flashbacks are so full of fear, pain, oh, and Kaylee telling James about his daddy and how he's going to come for them - ack! *hands to face* I've got a meeting to run to and so much I want to say (and a couple of other Jaylee fics to read *g*) so I"m just rambling.

Kaylee being strong - love it
James and Jayne tossing horseshoes and Mal admonishing Jayne like he's the kid - love it
Love it all! I can't believe how much you write - you are spoiling us, you know? You'll never be able to stop b/c some people here will come after you!

Love this, love you!
Enough rambling, I'm late!

oh god! First with the sweet and then with the horror, and then rinse and repeat! And yes, I want creepy-man to die a long painful death, that poor little girl from before (!), and that trunk, OMG that pretty much broke my heart **standing around looking at little shredded pieces of it, wondering if I have any super-glue**.

Oh yeah, and keep going! :)

Amazing, just amazing. Happened on this chapter, loved it and went back to the others. Your ability to create heart-stopping, tear-inducing moments is unmatched. Thank you.

BTW
The end of the scene when James knows to crawl into the trundle and hide is so chilling.

Kill the Reavers, beat up that bad man and make him wear Mal's dress, and PLEASE let Jayne stay a good daddy.

i have to say, you are an amazing and talented writer. i was shocked at the end of the first story, when kaylee decided to leave serenity.

i am very glad you decided to write a sequal. i love this story, and i realy realy hope that if kaylee tells jayne, that he goes back and beats the living hell outta that guy that made her life miserable during and after the reaver attack.

i think jayne needs that, and i think kaylee needs that too.

you make the characters come to life once again, and for that, i thank you.

can't wait for the next installment.

I have to second that. I have a visceral NEED for Jayne to ride in and rip that guy a new one. Grrrr!

OK... I'm all better now.

I also wonder how Kaylee will handle the exposition of all of these flashbacks to Jayne, Inara and maybe Mal? Or rather, I wonder how Jacqui will handle Kaylee handling the exposition.

After the angsty first series, and this wonderful sequel's progress so far, I'm curious what could be up your sleeve! Oh, and those pesky reavers obviously need to be dealt with. Time for some thrilling heroics!

c'mon, kick those reavers' insane, metal-ridden asses!!! and if flashback happens to get in the way of a certain merc's vengeful wrath, i think an 'oopsy daisy' wouldn't go amiss
