Good, In The Latin by merrily (PG)
Fandom: FIREFLY
Pairing: Zoe/Wash, gen
Length: 11k
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website:unknown
Why this must be read: I am a sucker for good post Serenity pregnant!Zoe fic, and this fic is a terrific example of the genre. It shows Zoe's slow healing from death through the growth of a new life. Oh, and River and Simon do the delivery, that was just awesome, having River guarding the door of the delivery room. Great job managing the crew's reactions to Zoe.
Mal is terrified, at first, scared out of his skin by his first mate suddenly eating for two. Kaylee fusses like no one has ever fussed. Jayne is protective and enthusiastic. Inara blanches when Zoe first tells her and Zoe laughs, immediately understanding -- sex, of course, being natural and easy for a Companion to discuss; pregnancy being an outcome to be avoided at all costs. Inara recovers and laughs too, and then becomes immensely useful, turning up all kinds of women's lore about the different kinds of morning sickness and what will lessen each.
River smiles dreamily when Zoe tells her, and reaches down behind the flight console to retrieve a package, which she hands over. Zoe opens it with raised eyebrows. Inside is a soft wool blanket. Unfurled, it is a collection of earth-coloured squares, each with a different dinosaur in the middle. Zoe finds herself unable to speak.
"You're welcome," River says, and bends at the waist to kiss Zoe's belly, graceful as a flower.
