Missing scene 1x13. Heart of Gold

[likeswifesoup]

Wash sat in the pilot's seat, one foot resting on the edge of the console, staring out into space. The time helping the whores had given him a lot to think about - and not about the whores themselves. About living a rough lifestyle, and allowing a child to come into the world

Zoe didn't expect for this to go anywhere, just like it never does when she brings up having a baby. Maybe she's wrong about it and he's seeing something she's not. Either way, she's decided not to bring it up again.

Making her way to the bridge, she calls through the door. "Cap says we're goin' to Beaumont so correct course." He'd been gruff and hadn't said why, just asked Zoe to deliver the message.

"Hmmmm?" Wash had been deep in thought, and hadn't heard Zoe approach. He turned to glance at her, then nodded. "Cap'n say how long he wants us to take?" he asked her.

"Weren't much for conversation so I didn't push. I'm goin' to get some food, want somethin'?"

She's not quite looking at him, clearly not planning on actually staying on the bridge longer than she needs to.

"Yeah, I'm starved," Wash admitted, trying to catch her eye and failing. He knew this time had been a time too far, and it would take her a while to get over the disappointment of him saying no again.

"Zoe..." he said, then stopped. "No, it can wait till later." Not a conversation for the bridge, where anyone could walk in.
