Epilogue
River didn't feel any different. Sure she felt a bit of pain from where they operated, but she knew in time that would pass. She still felt what others felt, for next to her bed in the med bay was a figure radiating with worry. Most probably he brother she guessed. She could still hear what people thought too, even in her semi conscious state. For the person next to her was thinking about all the things he'd like to do to her… … wait a moment, that wasn't her brother… well if it was than he had a lot of explaining to do!
She sat up suddenly her eyes flashing open and the heart monitor beating erratically.
"Gorram Hell, you scared the crap outta me girlie!"
She turned to the voice slowly and couldn't hide her smile. "Jayne." She said simply.
He smirked back. "Sure am, bout time you woke up too.'
"I enjoyed the rest."
"You deserved it. Heard what you did with the Academy, mighty brave. Doc said the op worked." He said, suddenly feeling awkward. "You know I wanna thank ya for what you did, you know wakin me out of that coma and all."
She shook her head, realising that it took a lot for him to say that. "It was my fault in the first place, had to fix it."
He frowned. "You know it-" he was cut off suddenly when she swung her legs over the side of the bed. "Where do you think you going?"
She frowned back at him, mimicking his expression. "I'm attempting to avoid the impending conversation." She said heading towards the door.
He ran ahead of her, closing the door shut. "Ah uh, you don't get away that easily."
She kept walking until she was only a couple of inches from him, glaring up at him angrily. "I don't want to have this conversation Jayne, I know what will happen."
He had never seen anything more beautiful in his life, the glare didn't intimidate him in the slightest though he knew deep down he should be running out the closed doors. "And how do you know what will happen huh?"
She gave him the –your-such-a-boob- look. "You do remember the conversation when I first came aboard. I'm not normal."
He shook his head. "Oh I know that, you see things before they happen, know what I'm thinking. That's what's got me so puzzled."
"Why?" she asked impatiently.
"Cause I have a feeling you don't want to have this 'impendin' conversation cause your scared."
"They striped my amygdala Jayne, I feel no fear."
He chuckled. "Really, than what if I asked ya why your brain sent me into a coma?"
She went still and glared at him again.
She didn't reply and he grinned. "That's what I thought, I know why you did it, and I know you're scared to tell me."
"I'm not scared." She said, her eyes wide.
"Your not scared huh." He said, his grin softening as he place a large hand on her shoulder.
Her eyes grew even wider, if that was at all possible. "No." she said softly, watching him intently.
His hand cupped her face, and he lent forward a little. "Not ever?"
"No." she whispered, her eyes closing impulsively as his thumb started to rub a line across her jaw.
"Good." He said and he leant forward, brushing his lips across hers with slightest of touches. She sighed contentedly and he kissed her again, this time fast and hard, begging her to open her mouth so he could claim her as his. She complied almost instantly and the passion filled kiss brought her weak to her knees. He grinned against her mouth, breaking away to watch her dark brown eyes dance with mirth. "Still not scared?" he asked.
She grinned back, her lips swollen from their kiss. "Well maybe a little."
"You didn't I felt the same way did ya?"
She shook her head, lookin away from him.
He brushed a piece of hair from her face and softly titled her chin back so she was looking at him. "Well, a little fear is nothing to be ashamed of." She raised an eyebrow and he continued. "Cause you gonna feel a whole lot more when your brother finds out why you did it."
She licked her lips unconsciously, feeling a sudden surge of hope and courage.
Jayne growled watching her wet lips glisten.
"Well than, until that day lets make the most of it." She whispered and Jayne captured his lips with hers once again in a quick kiss. "With pleasure." he murmured, lowering his lips to her neck.
She sighed again as he placed feverish kissed from her jaw to her collar bone. "Did you lock the doors?"
He nodded, lifting her gently and carrying her to the med bay bed, where he placed her down gently. She was grinning up at him, her eyes shining with a glow he had never seen before… and he didn't even have to read her mind to know what she was thinking. "I love you too baby doll."
