Jayne moves River's body under the showerhead, letting the warm water caress her overly sensitive skin. Angling her head under the spray, he wets her head before grabbing his shampoo and lathering up her hair.
"That feels good." River moans.
Jayne continues to massage her head with a hand while the other wraps around her waist to pull her back against his body. He moves his hand off her waist to dip between her legs. She widens her stance, giving him more access to her body. He slips his fingers between her folds to seek out her clit. He pinches it between his fingers while his other hand still massages her head.
River bends her head forward under the spray of water to rinse out the shampoo and then brings her hands up to rest against the wall in front of her. "Inside." River moans. She rubs her ass against his cock and leans her head back against his shoulder.
Jayne drops his mouth onto hers, kissing her deeply for a moment before pushing her upper body forwards. He uses his hand to separate her folds before slamming inside of her.
River drops her head forward, moaning loudly as Jayne pounds into her from behind.
Jayne uses one hand to rub at her clit while the other plays with her nipples. He drops down his mouth down to bite and nip at her neck.
River can feel the hair on Jayne's legs rubbing against her ass and thighs as he pushes evenly and deeply inside of her. She moves her right leg back to wrap around the back of his knee. He thrusts deeper inside of her as his fingers continue to play with her clit. She moans his name and pushes back against him, her body squeezing his cock.
Jayne wraps his arms around her waist to hold her up when her knee buckles. He pumps wildly into her before cumming, his teeth digging into her neck to muffle her name. He can taste the copper of her blood under his teeth and sucks a little harder.
"Ya okay?" Jayne asks River a few minutes later.
"Yes." River answers. She unwraps her leg from his and moves back under the cooling water.
Jayne watches as she rinses off and notices a large gash on her back, most likely from the table or wall in the warehouse. He moves under the spray behind her and quickly rinses off. "Come on, baby girl, ya gotta see your brother fore we go to dinner."
"Why?" River asks as she turns around.
"That needs to be treated." Jayne replies as he touches her back.
"Jayne." Kaylee voice comes through the door.
"Yeah." Jayne grunts.
"I got some clean clothes for River." Kaylee replies. "I'm gonna drop em on the floor." She opens the door and then closes it a few seconds later.
Jayne steps out of the shower and grabs a towel. He quickly dries off and then holds the towel out to River.
"It didn't work." River comments.
"Huh?" Jayne grunts.
"Our plan to preserve water." River replies. "We used just as much together as we would have apart."
"More fun this way." Jayne says after pulling on his pants. He picks up the shirt she wore back and pulls it on. It smells like her now, a fresh, clean, girly scent, slightly overshadowed by sweat and sex.
River towels off and then dries her hair some, leaving the damp strands hanging down her back. She slips her dress on but doesn't zip it.
"Ya ain't zippin it?" Jayne questions when she opens the door.
"You said Simon needed to see my back." River replies. She moves out of the shower room and walks towards the infirmary. Jayne looks at her back, bare from her shoulders to the small of her back and speeds up to get right behind her. Wrapping his arms around her to rest on her stomach, he bends down to growl in her ear. "Don't want ya ruttin walkin round with that much skin showin, dong ma?"
"Why?" River questions as she leans back against his chest.
"Cause ain't nobody but me needs to be looking at ya." Jayne growls as he walks them down the hall.
"Why am I seeing Simon then?" River asks.
Jayne tightens his hands on her stomach before replying. "I guess it's okay for him to be seein ya." Jayne grunts. "Since he's a doc and all."
"Jayne, where ya two goin?" Mal asks his merc. It startled him for a second, seeing Jayne wrapped round River like he was but he's seen stranger things. "Dinner's in bout 5."
"Yeah, we know." Jayne replies. "Goin to see the doc."
"Why?" Mal questions as he follows them.
"She needs some doctorin." Jayne answers. They walk into the infirmary only to find Simon arguing with himself.
"Simon, why are you fighting with yourself?" River questions, making her brother jump about a foot in the air and squeal. "There can never be a winner or a loser; you will always end up at a stalemate."
"Mei-mei, please don't sneak up on me." Simon says, holding his hand to his chest. He turns around to see them, his face showing no reaction to seeing Jayne wrapped around his little sister. "Let me see."
River steps away from Jayne and hops onto the sickbed.
"How'd ya know why she was down here for?" Mal questions.
"River would never come in here unless someone was forcing her too." Simon answers as he puts on a pair of gloves. "Since Jayne was practically pushing her in here, I knew she must have been injured. Where at, mei-mei?"
"My back." River answers.
Simon pulls apart the already opened dress, exposing River's back to the infirmary.
"Gorram, Jayne." Mal exclaims upon seeing the scratch on her back. It starts on her shoulder blade and moves down, almost a few inches in length. "What the hell did ya do to her?"
"Nothin." Jayne grunts and then turns to glare at the captain. "What the gorram hell are ya doin?"
"Huh?" Mal mutters.
"Don't want ya seein her naked." Jayne growls as he steps in front of Mal, blocking the captain's view.
"She ain't naked." Mal replies, a bit stunned by Jayne's possessiveness.
"Besides, he's already seen me naked." River adds.
"WHAT!" Jayne yells, looking between River and Mal. "Gorramit, Mal if'n ya ruttin touched her…"
"I've never touched her." Mal yells back. "Alright, I have but never in the fashion you're thinkin. Just held her down a couple times for the doc. And when the hell did I see ya naked?"
"When I crawled out of a box." River answers.
"Almost forgot bout that." Mal comments.
"Good." Jayne growls. "Ya bout done yet, doc?"
"Almost." Simon answers as he finishes the last weave. He applies a sealant over the wound and then covers it with a cloth bandage. "There."
River hops off the table while Simon disposes of the materials he used. She walks over to Jayne, who examines the bandaged wound before zipping up her dress.
"The sealant should keep the weaves from breaking fo a while, but try to keep your activities to a more sedate level for the next day or so." Simon tells Jayne. "The bandage needs to be changed every 12 hours or so. I can do it…"
"Don't worry bout it." Jayne replies. "I can take care of it."
"I figured as much." Simon says. He walks over and pulls open a cabinet, taking out a few things. "Here are some bandages and some pre-moistened cloths. Use the cloths to remove the sealant and then apply a new bandage. She won't need the sealant again."
Jayne takes the small packages and places them into the pockets of his cargo pants. "Thanks, doc." Jayne grunts.
"Just take care of her." Simon replies as he starts out of the infirmary.
"Yeah." Jayne agrees as he wraps an arm over River's shoulders and follows the doctor toward the mess.
River leans against Jayne, rolling her eyes at her brother and her lover.
Mal smiles at River, amused that she finds their wanting to protect her bothersome.
"Don't need it, captain." River says. "I am quite capable of protecting myself."
"I didn't say…..gorramit, little assassin, ya best stay out of my mind." Mal shouts.
"Didn't mean to." River replies. "You kind of laughed in your head."
"Laughed bout what?" Jayne questions.
"You wanting to keep me safe." River replies. "And me finding it..bothersome."
"She rolled her eyes at ya." Mal smirks.
"Ya did what, crazy?" Jayne growls. River smiles up at him before pulling away to jump down the steps into the mess.
"Ya're still callin her crazy even though ya're…." Mal starts to question.
"He calls me 'baby girl' when we're having sex or when he's worried." River answers as she helps Kaylee set the table. "He calls me 'crazy' when I'm being frustrating."
"Which is all the gorram time." Jayne mutters as he sits down.
"Hmm?" River hums. "Did you say something?"
"Nope." Jayne replies. "Didn't say a gorram thing."
Simon and Mal both stare at him, looking slightly confused. Inara and Zoe both laugh. Book shakes his head, a slight smile on his face. Wash looks at Jayne with complete understanding.
"He's lyin." Kaylee says to River, happy that River is finally starting to hang out with her again.
"Yes." River agrees. "He's afraid that I'll get mad and not have sex with him later."
Mal chokes on the drink he's taking.
"Are ya?" Kaylee questions.
"No." River answers. "I am frustrating. I can't get mad at the truth. Besides, I enjoy sex. Jayne is very talented."
Simon sputters and turns bright red. Mal, who's still trying to recover from his last bit of choking, starts coughing in earnest. Wash, Zoe, and Inara smile while Book turns a blind eye to the discussion. Jayne smirks, crossing his arms over his chest.
Kaylee giggles. "Me too." Kaylee agrees. "Though it's been 'while since I've…"
"Kaylee, I don't need to be hearin bout that." Mal manages to squeak out. "Nor bout your enjoyment, little assassin. Now, let's sit down and enjoy a nice, quiet dinner."
River sits down next to Jayne with Kaylee on her other side. Simon sits down beside Kaylee. Mal takes the head of the table while the rest of the crew take the seats left over. They start passing around food, nobody really talking as the start the meal.
"River." Inara says, about halfway through dinner.
"Yes." River replies.
"If you need something for the discomfort, I do have some things." Inara offers.
"Thank you, but I'm fine." River replies. "The brief flash of pain due to penetration quickly disappeared. There was a slight discomfort the second time but nothing that needs to be addressed."
"That's good." Inara replies a few seconds later. "If you change your mind, just come to my shuttle."
"Alright." River agrees.
"Mei-mei, are you sure you don't want me to examine…"
"Simon, I am fine." River interrupts. "And if I weren't, I would ask Inara to examine me before I would ask you."
"What?" Simon asks. "I'm your doctor."
"And my brother." River replies.
"Ya couldn't really do that, could ya?" Mal questions.
"Do what?" Simon replies.
"Examine her in that fashion." Mal says.
"Yes, I am her doctor." Simon replies.
"But you're her brother." Mal points out. "I wouldn't bother ya."
"No." Simon replies. "One of the first rules of being a doctor: distance yourself from your patient."
"It's why he makes a good surgeon." River adds. "Doesn't see the person, just the problem. Also why he can't talk to people; he's not used to dealing with them on a conscious level."
"Of course I can…." Simon starts to protest.
"You're a boob, Simon." River cuts in. "It's okay though; Kaylee finds it cute for some reason."
"River." Kaylee squeals, turning pink.
"You do." River replies.
The mess goes quiet for a few minutes until Simon looks over at Mal. "Mal."
"Yeah?" Mal grunts between bites.
"I think River should go with you and Jayne on the jobs for a while." Simon replies.
"What?" Jayne yells.
"She is trained for violent situations so I am fairly certain she can take care of herself." Simon replies. "I also think it's something that she needs to do; she seems much more focused after your sparing sessions."
"It's awful nice of ya to offer your sister up for jobs but we got all the help we need." Mal replies.
"I just think….." Simon stops when Zoe suddenly stands up.
"Doctor, can I talk to you, alone?" Zoe says. She doesn't wait for him to respond; she walks over to pull Simon out of his chair.
"Zoe, what's goin on?" Mal questions.
"Not your concern, sir." Zoe replies.
"Wifey, what's going on?" Wash asks.
"Nothing." Zoe answers. She then drags Simon out of the mess, slamming the door behind them.
"Wash, what's goin on?" Mal asks his confused looking pilot.
"I don't know." Wash replies.
"Might it have something to do with Simon's examination of Zoe earlier?" Book questions.
"She talk to ya bout that?" Mal questions Wash.
"No, you?" Wash replies.
"No." Mal answers.
"Oh, god, what if it's something bad." Wash whispers, his face going white. "She wouldn't want us to know; she'd want to protect us."
"Yeah." Mal agrees. "She's been seemin a bit run down lately."
"Ya don't think she's sick, do ya?" Kaylee whispers worriedly.
"She's not sick." River comments.
"How do ya….." Mal starts. "Oh, that mind reading thing. What's wrong with her?"
"Not mine to tell." River replies.
"Gorramit, I wanna know." Mal stands up, slamming his hands onto the table.
"I'm not going to tell you." River says, not flinching at his glare.
"This is my ruttin boat." Mal yells. "If'n I tell ya to do somethin, do it."
"There ain't no call to yell at her." Jayne growls, standing up. "Baby doll, what's goin on?"
"It's not mine to tell." River whispers. "I came about it on accident and I'm not going to reveal."
"River, please." Wash begs.
"Can't." River rubs her head, feeling a headache building.
"What's wrong?" Jayne questions.
River shakes her head and stands up. She pushes him into his chair and then crawls onto his lap, burying her head in his neck.
"River, what's wrong?" Kaylee questions.
"Too loud." River replies. "Hurts my head."
"What's too loud?" Mal questions.
"You and Wash." River replies. "Your anger and worry."
Jayne glares at both men before using his hands to gently massage her temples.

"Damnit, doc, what the hell are you try to pull?" Zoe questions, her tone even.
"You can't keep going on jobs." Simon replies.
"I'm not going to talk about this." Zoe says.
"You need to." Simon replies. "I said I wouldn't say anything, as your doctor I'm legally not able to. But as your friend, I can't keep watching you do this."
"I'm fine." Zoe says. "I can handle this."
"Zoe, you almost passed out today." Simon argues. "I know it and you know it. What if it happens on a job? You're not just gambling your life, you're gambling Mal and Jayne's."
"That's not going to happen." Zoe protests.
"What if it does?" Simon questions. "Do you really want their deaths on your head. You are not physically or emotionally able to go on jobs."
Zoe is quiet for a few moments as the information sinks in. "Is it really that much of a risk?"
"I just told Mal to take my little sister on jobs." Simon replies. "Do you really think I would do that if it wasn't?"
"No." Zoe replies. "Fine." She turns around and opens the door to the mess only to be bombarded with questions.
Zoe raises her hand to cut off all questions. "I'm pregnant." Zoe announces. "Simon thinks I'm about 5 months along, though he's not certain. He feels it is unsafe for me to do runs and I know you both are going to agree."
"You're what?" Wash gasps. "Why didn't you say something?"
"We discussed children and you said no." Zoe replies. "I didn't think you would handle it well."
"You're not going on runs until the baby is born." Mal orders. "Little assassin looks like you've got some new duties."
