Chapter 2 Conversation in the infirmary

Kaylee caught up with River just as they arrived at the room they had claimed in the passenger dorms.

"No fair! You let me catch you!"

"Maybe. Had fun. Less tense."

"Guess that's so."

Kaylee still wasn't sure how she felt about River having a baby for Mal and Simon, but it was River's choice and she would support her in any way she could. Maybe she'd feel better after they had all talked, which wasn't going to happen if she didn't get cleaned up right quick.

While River went to the closet to get some clothes for her, Kaylee stripped down and gave herself a quick wipedown. Then she slipped into the clean cover-alls and tanktop River handed her.

Looking in the mirror to rearrange her hair, she spotted a smear of grease she'd missed. While she cleaned it off, she asked, "So, băo bèi, how we gonna handle this? Go knockin' on their bunk door? Call them over the comm? What?" She knew she was being silly, but it was either that or start weeping, and she had no intention of breaking down again.

"Not necessary. Daddies are in the kitchen. I'll go to the infirmary. You go to kitchen, tell Simon I need him in infirmary. He'll think I'm sick. Come rushing in. You come with Mal. We talk."

Whoa, Mal was the one who was embarrassed! Rock on! Always wanted to see the captain put into a situation like that to see what he'd do. *giggle*

Excellent chapter, I can't wait until you post more!

Very good and I so understand Kaylee's misgivings and River's desire to want to do something selfless for the brother who gave up so much for her freedom. And Mal squirming is always fun! Ali D :~)

Kinda surprise Mal was squeamish about artificial insemination...he grew up on a ranch, so surely he should be familiar with methods of breeding cattle stock (not 100% similar, but the general idea is the same, I presume).

Still...hiliarious stuff here;)

Ali,

Glad you think I got it right with River & Kaylee, and yeah, Squriming!Mal is always a hoot! *g*

BEB,

I figured it's one thing to deal with AI in cattle and totally another to think of it with your husband's sister. *evil grin* Plus, remember how flustered he was in HoG? Glad you enjoyed this chapter!

Hey anonymous you didn't have to read it but you did so what’s with the comment?

Thanks, RealWorld.

I just figured they weren't worth responding to. *eg* But you hit the nail on the head. Nobody forced him/her to read it, so comment was unnecessary. Ah well, some people just don't get it.

Thanks for reading!

"I love my captain."
