“Sorry don’t mean to interrupt but River’s acting a little strange.” Kaylee looked to me and Simon. “But of course if you two were talking I can take her to Inara?” “No Kaylee I was just leaving anyways.” Simon got up and went to go check on River. “I’m sorry but he had to go give River her meds. I could answer some of those questions if you have any left.” “Why didn’t Wash and Zoe go to see Olivia before she died?” “They did! Once we heard that she had gotten sick we turned right around but we got there just a little too late.” “Does anyone know how she got sick?” “Well it could have been the pollution or…never mind.” “Please tell me.” “Wash’s parents never really approved of him and Zoe together and when they heard about Olivia they weren’t so thrilled. See Wash’s parents had a lot of expectations none of which had him a pilot on the run a browncoat for a wife and a kid.” “Dinners great Kaylee this is way better then I have had in the past few months!” “Really all it is some flavored protein and__” “Oh when you don’t have anyone looking out for you it’s kind’ a hard to find food for yourself.” “Awe man I wouldn’t survive out there without food on the table.” Jayne said scarfing down his third helping. “Yeah sometimes I didn’t even get more then an apple and that was a feast.” Jayne chocked on his food. “Simon what did you say about her being extremely healthy for a kid her age?” “She is for not getting any of her shots from a year old up she’s healthy for an six year old.” “She’s six I thought she was like ten!” “Jayne she’s not very tall.” “But have you heard her talk I don’t know haft the words she says.” “I also said she was very smart for her age.” Kaylee smiled for being a big guy Jayne sure didn’t have any brains. “What were your parents like?” “Parents…my mom always had a new boyfriend I lost track a few years back. The closest thing I have ever known to be a dad was my older brother he died a year ago. When m-my mom lost her job she decided to tell me that I was adopted because she thought I was cute never wanted any kids and her boyfriend at the time loved them. She thought he was going to be the one but she was wrong. He took me at first but then she decided to take me back.” “Well I hope this not related family can be better then that.” “It already is thanks.” “Oh Olivia I almost forgot happy birthday!” That was River “How did you…” I looked over to Zoe her eyes were filled with tears. “Obviously I share a birthday with Olly.” “She would be turning six today.” “Would be or did?” They told me that River hadn’t been like this in years. “What do you mean moonbrain, that she’s Wash and Zoe’s long lost daughter?” “Pretty much, Wash has noticed and Kaylee has too.” “Noticed what she ain’t nothing like Livy!” That must have been Jayne’s nickname for her. “Jayne she’s more like Livy then you think!” “No she ain’t! Livy had one thing that this Olivia ain’t have and that’s the secret code I came up with!” Everyone stared at him. “Jayne you had a secret code nice.” “Yeah I’d say ‘Who’s better than unkie capcap,” and she say…” “Unkie Jayjay.” I answered without thinking.
