Someone to Watch Over Me
PART 4
Simon walked into the engine room and collapsed into the hammock. He could see Kaylee's legs sticking out from under the engine and hear her cheerful whistle. She scooted out and was reaching over for a tool when the hammock's movement caught her eye.
"Simon!" she gasped, the tool falling back to the floor and her hand coming to her heart, "You scared me!"
Simon didn't look up, "Sorry."
Kaylee immediately got up and walked over to join him in the hammock. "What's wrong, honey?"
He sighed and leaned back. Kaylee followed, laying her head on his chest. His arms automatically went around her. Simon took a deep breath, "River and Jayne are having sex."
Kaylee was quiet for a moment, "Like right now or like, they have a relationship?"
Simon groaned, "Both."
"For how long?"
"The sex, as far as I know, has been for about eight months, the relationship, I don't know, but with Jayne, I don't think those two milestones were very far apart."
"Unlike us." Kaylee teased, "We waited a whole two months."
"Well, yes, but I don't think Jayne had to recover from a gunshot wound to the stomach after he declared his feelings."
"Ya, but they also didn't have a year of denial and general boob-being to make up for!"
Simon couldn't help but laugh at that. He still couldn't figure out how Kaylee could cheer him up so quickly every time. Then he remembered and sighed once again.
"What? Is there more?"
Simon ran a hand over his face, "She's pregnant."
"What!? That's amazing, ooo, there's gonna be a little baby!" She looked up at Simon's face, "Aww, honey, you've had quite a day, haven't you?"
Simon nodded and tugged at the top button of his shirt, trying to get more comfortable.
"Here, let me help you with that," Kaylee said with a mischievous grin. She slowly unbuttoned his shirt, placing kisses on his chest after each button was released.
In no time at all, Simon was completely distracted from River and Jayne. Kaylee was indeed very helpful.
AN: Sorry, I'm such a tease. I promised you crew reactions, but I forgot I had this scene, which I adore, in here first. Well, with Kaylee you get a partial crew reaction, so I'm not a big ole' liar, I swear! Thank you my lovely reviewers, sparkles and confetti are thrown in your honor.
