Pairing: Zoe/Wash
"I'm pregnant" The words spill out of her lips, cold, painful and hard. Dinner goes silent. She's staring at how her skin lightens around her knuckles as she clenches her fork. There's a sudden clatter and she sees, vaguely, River crawling under the big dinner table and coming back with her cup.
"I- Do you-" Kaylee starts and she looks up to see the girl biting her lip.
"It's ok, Kaylee." She summons up a smile that seems to satisfy the girl although Mal is still staring at her.
"Zoe, um. When you're ready-" Simon leans around Kaylee. "If you want- I'll check you out." And she wants that. She reminds herself of this because really, she wants the baby even though it's a reminder of what she lost. River is staring at her, wide eyed.
"You're afraid that Wash's" pain slices through her at the mention of his name "pole has reversed and that the fetus contains the same pole and that your poles won't attract anymore." River gets up and dumps her dish into the sink.
She walks back towards Zoe. "It's a false analogy," is all she says before floating out of the room.
"Your sister's still bonkers, Doc. Might want'a see to that." Jayne tears into the protein strip he'd had on his plate. Zoe sighs, pondering River's words.
