Please keep writing reviews!!

"Well, what are you waiting for? Come give me a hug Jayne," Jayne's mother held out her arms.

"Sure mother."

Jayne went and gave his mother a hug. She was a foot shorter than him, but neither seemed to care. They both looked happy.

"Cap'n, you ever think Jayne could be sentimental?" Zoe asked.

"I'm shocked my own self," Mal said.

"He's got a soft side," Simon said.

"They look happy," Kaylee observed.

The rest of the crew stood in awe at the fact that Jayne seemed to be a mama's boy.

As Jayne finished hugging his mother a blonde girl of about 15 came running out and gave Jayne another hug.

"Maddie!" He said.

"Two hugs in one day," said Kaylee.

"Amazing," Inara added.

Everyone stared as Jayne let go of his sister.

"You gonna introduce us to your friend's Jayne?" His Ma asked, looking at the crew.

'Captain Malcolm Reynolds," Mal walked up to the woman and extended a hand.

"Pleased to meet you Captain," Ms. Cobb said. "Is this your lady?" she asked, gesturing to Inara.

"Um. . .no, Inara rents a shuttle," Mal stumbled over the words.

"I'm a companion," Inara quickly added.

"Yeah," Mal finished lamely.

"Alright. Inara and Mal. What about the rest of you? Do you have names?" Ms. Cobb was curious about the rest of the crew.

"Water flowing down a bed." River spoke for the first time since getting off the ship.

"A river?"

"Right."

"She okay?"

"Uh, this is my sister, River," Simon said.

"You must be Simon," Ms. Cobb said. "Jayne never talks about anybody, but he mentioned you. You're a doctor, right? Saved your sister from the alliance? They still after you?"

"Well, now the reward is less, so no one really wants anything to do with us."

"Your sister's name is River?"

"Yes, she's seventeen."

"And you have a girlfriend?"

"Kaylee, yes."

"Hi, Mrs. Cobb," Kaylee said.

"What's your job?"

"I'm mechanic."

"Good. And you are?" She asked Zoe this time.

"Zoe Washburn, first mate," Zoe said with a saddened expression. Her name made her think of Wash.

"Glad to have you all here," Ms. Cobb smiled. "Now come in and eat.

XxxXXx

Jayne's mother led them into a small kitchen. There was a small table there and cabinets and a counter. Maddie was talking a mile a minute.

"So you're a companion, right?" she said to Inara.

"Right."

"What's it like? Are them men nice?"

"Some of them."

"Jayne told me once, that there was a companion, and I didn't believe him."

"As long as you're not servicing my boy," Ms. Cobb spoke.

"No danger in that happening Ms. Cobb," Inara said.

"I only go for the blondes. And the red heads."

"Jayne Allison Cobb! I will not have that in this house! No speaking of our sex life!" Ms. Cobb shouted as Maddie laughed at her older brother.

"Allison is a girl's name," River noted.

"Yeah, well I still ain't a girl," Jayne said.

"Be polite to the guests Jayne," Maddie said.

"Yeah Jayne, be polite," River said.

"River," Simon said. "Be nice."

"Why? Jayne's not nice."

"Well, we don't follow his example, albatross," Mal said.

"You wanna eat Captain. But you don't wanna be rude," River stated.

There was a pause.

"Well? Captain? That true?" Ms. Cobb asked.

"Well . . . ma'am, it might be," Mal answered.

"Everyone's hungry," River said.

"Mind reader gonna get us in gorram trouble," Jayne said.

"Jayne!"

"Yes Ma?"

"You are incredibly rude! Do I need to teach you manners again? It took long enough the first time; I can't imagine the second time taking any less time."

Maddie laughed.

"You need to be quiet, Madeline. This is your brother's problem and I don't want him to be embarrassed in front of his friends."

"Sorry Ma," Maddie said.

"I think it's time for the crew of Serenity to meet your brothers," Ms. Cobb suggested.

"This should be interesting," Maddie said.

A/N: I know a lot of the crew hasn't said much, or done much, except Jayne and Mal. Maybe River, but I promise that will change soon! I'm just getting my creative gears shifted into place! Please review and what not!! It means the world to me to hear what you think. I like positive AND negative feedback!!

Thanks!
