Annie- Thanks so much! I was worried he'd be out of character but I'm glad it was good.
Orwell is watching-xoxo-Thanks for clearing that up. Aw, thanks! It was great to finally get to write them together! Hope you like the rest!
The days pass for the crew of Serenity, blissfully. All is swell in the world and things are running smoothly.
Elsewhere in the 'Verse, Gabriel and Regan Tam are not doing as well.
"We agreed long ago that if I were to gift you the means to build up yourselves you would gift me a fitting woman for my son. I will not tolerate you taking back your side of the deal."
Gabriel works his shirt top and nods, "We understand. That is why I came to request you keep my wife in your estate while I go with a group of your soldiers to retrieve my wayward daughter."
The man quirks a brow and Gabriel rushes on, "She is damaged and married but...she can be salvaged, trained. I assure you, your son will be able to have her as his perfect wife and if she is...resistant, we have the means to change her mind."
"Good. My son will be here waiting for his wife and you should be back in quick time. I will not tolerate waiting around any longer."
Gabriel shifts, "Of course not Mister Wing. Your son Atherton shall have every joy of my daughter in a few days time."
Gabriel Tam frowns to himself as a the group of soldiers behind him are completely silent. He shifts, unused to the way they are so controlled-it seemed to him that if Mister Wing had chosen a career leading the battles in the Unification War the Alliance soldiers would have been quicker to put down the resistance. He smirks, remembering to mention that to the man later.
River smiles as she lays in the sun, half on Jayne and half off. She tries hard to keep her gaze off the bursting couple at her right but every now and again her eyes fall to them.
"What's got you lookin' to Zo and Wash?" Jayne murmurs, one hand lazily drifting along her side.
"I feel it. Wash has given the gift, and she has only to discover."
Jayne blinks and tries to puzzle out her airy words. Before he can River whispers, "Warrior woman and pilot man shall have a child. I can tell by the way Zo is suddenly...there is a change. The consciousness of another lies within the hum of her when she is loud."
Jayne grins and nods in satisfaction, "Hell, about time those two got to kids."
River nods in glee and then looks around secretively, "But we must not spill the cat from the bag."
Jayne nods, closing his eyes and holding her close, "Not our bag to meddle in, I know bao bei."
River purrs in content, cuddling closer to him as the crew is one in it's perfection.
