I gotta agree with BadgersHat. How could I not?
Anyway, I already commented on this in another thread ("Inara's Secret"), so I won't repeat myself:

Not only that, but I doubt many of their clients would be pleased to have additional potential heirs running around. Think of the messy legal cases
For that reason alone, I'd imagine that contraceptive implants or surgery is required of all Companions. My guess is that maybe she already had a child (secretly) against all the rules, and her behavior is down to trying to protect that child (which is somewhere being raised in secret) while continuing to support it as best she can by continuing to work as a Companion.
That of course does not explain the syringe...unless it's something she stopped taking that still reminds her of how she stepped outside the bounds and what she now has to lose (if the Reavers kill her, for example).

Wow... and again i say wow. Everytime i read one of these i go ohhh why didn't i think of that but this one is just... Wow.
It explains so much, or atleast ties into a lot.
If she did want children and it is against guild rules it makes perfect sense that she'd leave the comfort, and close scrutiny of home and head out on her own, Also why, in doing so, she'd seek out a rinky dink ( sorry kaylee ) lil ship like Serenity rather then the big space liners she could have.
It fits in with her expresion during 'serenity' when her client du jour says he'd love to see the planet she's from ( name escapes me at the moment ) and there's that cut of her rolling her eyes. If she wanted a kid and had found the enviroment at home particulary oppresive to that goal... well that little moment fits.
As does the 'i don't want to die' line in out of gas ( though that could fit just about anything ) as well as her reaction to the whole Mal/Nandi thing would have hurt even more if, being out there looking for both bank and a potential father, the one man she'd found remotely worthy ( again, Serenity, she replies to Books question of why she deals with Mal with "so few men are (a mystery)" Something a woman so highly trained to sense what her customers want would perhaps find most appealing ) went and lay with another companion ( even an ex one ) when that is probably the one thing that keeps her and Mal apart.
And even now i realize this post is a messed up jumble so I'll just end with another Wow and a
