*Serenity comes into the common room carrying a large and heavy box*
Oof!
Soul! I have presents!!!!
*Soul looks up from his popcorn with a quizzical look on his face.*
I ordered this stuff awhile ago and it's finally come in.
*She rips open the box and begins digging. Styrofoam peanuts fly everywhere.*
Now, remember how you said you didn't know anything about being a dad and you needed a book? Well...
*She hands him a very large tome. Across the front it reads "Everything You Could Possibly Need to Know About Being a Parent. Volume 1 *
Soul: Volume 1????
CMS: Yep. There are 4 more, so if you read one a month, you should finish before the baby arrives!
And that's just the beginning. This is the piece de resistance ( or perhaps l'enfant de resistance ).....
*She reaches back into the box and pulls out a babydoll.*
Soul: A doll?
CMS: Not just any doll! This is the Baby3000. It's a robot baby similator. It acts like a real baby. It cries and burps and hiccups and coos. You have to feed it and change it and rock it to sleep and everything else you'd have to do if it were a real baby. I ordered the boy.
Soul: Why the boy?
CMS: *smirk* You've never changed diapers before have you? Well, you'll find out. Now, I'm putting this baby in your care. It'll be good practice for you so that when our baby's born, you'll be an expert.
*She hands him the baby. It immediately begins to wail.*
CMS: (over the yelling) So, what should we name him?

Soul finds himself suddenly wishing he had a real beer.

Soul looks over at her.
"We're having a boy?" he yells back.
She nods.
"Well...as long as it doesn't begin with 'CallMe', we can name him whatever you want!" Soul yells.

No silly! The doll's a boy. What shall we name the doll? We can't just call it "Baby3000".
And what's wrong with "CallMe"???

I would just like to point out your phraseology here, "I really have gone up to every man here." Interesting how you put that. So you've gone up to every man that's been on this ship these last two months.
*nods*
I don't want to scare you or anything, but, see, um, did you scan yourself?
*his eyes get wide and he's not quite sure what to do with his now very nervous hands*
*cue suspenseful da da dummmm music*

.Oh, that probably a good idea, I think I have everyones names, but I could be wrong. But, rather than delay the tour, why don't we use your little stud muffins idea...?
*whispers behind hand* and don't take this the wrong way, but between you and me, I could stand to hear a little less about one of my old crew being all naked...
*To Jadehand*
Do you still have that stickerpad and sharpie pen handy? I'm sure theres enough room on one for a brief bio aswell.
Or we could stop here for a get to know you picnic. I'm easy.
.
Hey, it wasn't like that. It was a shower, remember the pie cream? And I was on Rose's crew, 'cause taking orders from Nell....erm, you, would have been far too distracting. I mean, it would have been harder to focus on task. And let's not tell everyone about the pad, it's more than just a name pad. And i don't know how it will effect them. Look, I'm sorry if I upset you. There's a lot going on and a lot to talk about. It looks like the crew here may be gearing up for something, I'll help them out where I can, But during down time, I hope we can talk. I'll be in a room down the hall from you. Please come by and see me. Picnic sounds good.

Oh, hey, sorry, I forgot they were, ah, special stickers.
Ok, well thats that idea kiboshed. Um, *thinks*
oh, I'm forming a cunning plan...
Right, leave the picnic for now, we are disrupting Mai's tour.
*aside to Jadehand* I know you wern't on my crew, but it was as good as.. you're like a brother - better than, no sibling of mine would have stood by me and Rose as well as you did, even up to the eyeballs in Rum. *grins* and upset me? bagh! it takes a hell of a lot to upset me, but you know what I was just saying about the brother thing? I can't know that!
They are gearing up for something, and we will talk, but *looks a Washie* She's an extremely attractive girl, I forbid you to go waiting round in rooms for me..

Xander: "Hi, for those of you who just tuned in, everyone here is a crazy person." *grin*

CMS, I thought I told you to stop piping suspenseful music in through the hallways. It's very distracting.
You know something; you're right. I haven't tested myself. But... okay, fine, let's do this to be thorough.
*scans self*
Right and the test shows that I...
Oh.
Oh my.
*has difficulty breathing*
That means that I'm...
*gulps air*
And... that means we... we...
*wheezes*
I need to sit down for a moment.
*slumps to the ground*

*twg steps forward and picks up the tricorder from the floor. Thought so. She leans against the wall and slides down to sit next to him, shoulder to shoulder*
Breathe, Simon.
*she intertwines her fingers with his and gently holds his hand*
I know it’s a bit of a surprise, but it doesn’t mean we have to do anything today or even tomorrow. I…*she looks away for a moment to catch her breath*…I knew there was reason I asked you to join us *she smiles at him and he tries to smile back* Whenever this happens, it will be because we both want it to happen. It will be because we love each other and we want a son…17 or 30 years from now…no need to jump into anything this second…
*she looks up to find him staring at her*
…unless you want to….but we don’t have to. *she smiles at him. He is breathing normally once more* I baked some pie. Simon, would you like some cream pie?

* Extremely diverted by SimonWho's recent discovery, Washie nevertheless takes time to focus on an apparent misunderstanding in an attempt to avert a Peyton Place soap opera sitch in the 'Tree.*
"The shower thing? That was more of a dream sequence kinda deal, see.... Nothing to see, move it along.
So let it be written, so let it be done.
'Nuff said?
*moves along, shifting her dainty feet, toes scuffing at the dust, whistling idly, wondering when the lovely tour will recommence.*
"OH! (she yells!) Before we move along, I could stand to hear some more about SimonWho and Who(m) he owes an explanation to!"
Smiling and subsiding, Washie waits impatiently, filling the time by nodding to Seryn, wordlessly thanking her for the (completely accurate) compliment she recently paid to her extremely attractive girly self.
