OOI - Serenity

Kaylee's in her little hammock in Serenity's engine room today, eating a protein bar and looking very thoughtful. Usually when she has free time, lately, she's hung out in the living area or the infirmary, wherever Simon was. But today...
Well, it's a lot to think about, the implications. And she likes to think alone in her favorite spot on the ship.

Date: 2007-07-20 03:10 am (UTC)He wants to see what goes down.
Kaylee just sits there trying not to be nauseous. She looks rather queasy, actually. Too much nerves and morning sickness, probably.

Date: 2007-07-20 03:17 am (UTC)He doesn't get further than that before Mal shoots him a look, saying firmly, "Last time I checked, it was my ship."
Simon ignores him and goes on, "This is my infirmary, and right now, you're all upsetting Kaylee. I want everyone to leave, right now or I swear the next one of you that gets shot will be left bleeding."

There's a question in that look, but I wouldn't even try to put it into words.

Date: 2007-07-20 03:46 am (UTC)Kaylee, meanwhile, has locked eyes with River. Curious, wide-eyed River who's asking with her eyes whether or not she's guessed right.
"I'm pregnant," she says, oh so very faintly. Jayne, thankfully, doesn't hear.

Date: 2007-07-20 03:52 am (UTC)"Mal..." Simon says, his voice a little tight. It's not often Simon gets truly dangerous. This may be one of those times.
no subject
Date: 2007-07-20 03:59 am (UTC)Somehow, he has no lewd response to this.
"I know, Cap'n," Kaylee says faintly, head down, hands twisted together. She's ready to start crying, not that Mal can see it with her head down so low.
He might recognize the tone, though.
no subject
Date: 2007-07-20 04:05 am (UTC)"Will you leave now? Please." It's not really a request, despite the "please". Just once, Mal might overlook what he once said about Simon giving orders on his boat.

Date: 2007-07-20 04:15 am (UTC)River smiles a little, knowingly, and wanders out dreamily.
Kaylee just sits there silently, fighting the urge to throw up again. Mal's upset with her, they can't have a baby on the ship, she screwed up.
"I'm sorry," she whispers, somewhat desperately.
no subject
Date: 2007-07-20 04:20 am (UTC)Simon shifts a little unhappily, glaring at Mal and rather wishing he'd leave. But when the initial order didn't work so well with Mal, he doesn't hold out hope for a second doing the job.

Date: 2007-07-20 04:26 am (UTC)Except that she's not sure she wants to. But if it's a choice between being a mother and being on Serenity... Well, it's not really a choice.

Date: 2007-07-20 04:57 am (UTC)She really isn't ready for this. "Cap'n, can we..." she looks at him pleadingly. She and Simon need some time alone to talk about this.

Date: 2007-07-20 05:02 am (UTC)Simon breathes a soft sigh of relief once he's gone. It had been feeling a little claustrophobic in here, even with just him, Kaylee and Mal.

Date: 2007-07-20 05:04 am (UTC)And god, it hurts to admit that.

Date: 2007-07-20 05:14 am (UTC)Maybe she's exaggerating a little, but not much.
