Zoe's really got not good gorram idea why River insisted on brunch this morning of all mornings. Her day off from the store, the morning her back has actually decided to ache, but at the insistent knocking on her door, she finally gets up ( Read more... )

River had no way of knowing really if the party was adequate or not, and she knew (of course she knew) that Zoe hadn't wanted to come but it was nice with all the pink.

"We have to shower the baby," she'd answered Zoe, then patted her belly. It was her duty as the closest thing to a female friend Zoe had in the village with the others all gone.

After she'd assured Zoe she wandered off to see what other people had decided to come. She was still hazy on if men would be attending... and since that was all she'd invited it might be a bust.

Zoe's left a little speechless, but after eating and fully waking up, she finds River again, putting a hand on her shoulder.

"Thank you. This is real nice. Baby's lucky she's got you. And me too."

"Kaylee and Inara would have done it..." but they were gone, so that left River.

"I know . But you did real good. You get the baby a present?" she asks, sitting down, hand on her belly.

She smiled, and nearly glowed at the praise it wasn't often she did things right.

She nodded and retrieved a box wrapped in silver paper that she handed to Zoe before sitting across from her.

"Everyone says shoes are important." Which probably sounds like a non-sequiter until Zoe opens the box.

Zoe opens the gift and laughs, taking out the shoes. "These are perfect. River, they're great. When'd you pick these out?"

"After we went..." she'd seen them and gone back. "Sometimes I forget things but.. I remembered these."

"I think they'll look pretty good on the baby. I picked the name Maya for her. And I was thinkin' about some of the names you told me. Abetzie is perfect. So I'm usin' the middle name you picked. Maya Abetzie Washburne."

She smiled, it was hard to hide things from River but she hadn't known Zoe had picked a name yet.

"That's a good name."

"I think he'd like it," she says with a very small smile and a little nod as she rubs her belly.

"He would like any name." Because Zoe picked it out. She didn't have to ask who he was, even if she wasnt a reader she would have known.

"Thanks, River," Zoe says again, for at least the tenth time.

"Did you eat, mei mei?"

"Jayne got me bacon waffles." She glanced at the man, wrinkled brow then back at Zoe.

Zoe glances over at Jayne. "Didn't like them?" she asks, then finds his present again. "Look what he got for Maya."

She pulls out the knit dinosaur cap to show River.

"They're my favorite." Her facial expression had been because she hadn't seen him since the last time they'd had waffles. When he was seventeen.

SHe smiled at the hat and touched it with two gentle fingers, stroking along the ridged top.

"It's sweet."

"We gotta figure out how to get better food on Serenity. Think we can convince the captain to by a waffle iron?"
