"If you get scared, just think about us, about baby Jayla." He desperately wanted to make River feel better. The acadamy had affected her so strongly. "Remember how good I made you feel earlier. If you want, when ever you get so scared, just ask and I'll make you feel like that again. Ok?"

River nodded. He had no idea how much the academy had affected her. No one did actually. She knew she needed to tell someone she couldn't keep it bottled up forever. She was ready to tell someone but only one person and that was going to be Vincent. She knew he wouldn't tell.
"Vincent" said River

"What is it River?" It felt important what she wanted to tell him. "What ever you say will never leave this room." He looked into her eyes and waited for what she was about to say.

"They hurt me. They put needles into my head. I went to that school because I wanted to go I wanted to learn. I wanted a challenge I liked to learn but no one could teach me I was to advanced. Then this school came about my parents hadn't heard of it but they sent me because I was eager to learn and it had the most challenging program. After I got there it was great for a month and then the experiments started and they started training us to be faster and stronger. I was always the fastest. They would come in to the rooms and take us to a medical area and they would make us sleep and they made me psychic rather more so then I was." said River "They pretty much did brain surgery on us. They'd ask us questions make me answer them they told us this was necessary. They would kill students who didn't do well at the questions. These blue handed men would do things to the ones who did badly. Right before I got out I ended up killing my interviewer with a pen"
River just barely finished it before she leaned into Vincent's arms even more and started to cry.

Vincent just held her close to him when she finished. "I'm so sorry. I had no idea. You're safe know. They can't get at you any more. They wouldn't dare." He would already die for her, now he had to protect his daughter as well. He was more determined than ever.

River laid in his arms. It was allot that she said all of it necessary and all of it important. The school had hurt her alot. She couldn't stand the thought of Simon knowing but she knew Vincent wouldn't tell Simon.
"Simon can't know not ever" said River
She didn't know why she felt the need to say that to him but she did. She kissed him again and laid her head on his shoulder.

"Don't woory. I want say a thing. Not a single word." She really didn't want Simon to know. She knew he wouldn't say anything but she asked him not to tell Simon anyway. He kissed her and the he rested his hands on her cheeks, "You kept that inside for so long. How do you feel?"

"I'm alright" said River still crying "I'm alright"
The last time she had said it like that was on Miranda after the video on the Reavers. River was still scared of them and she was still crazy. She nuzzled herself closer to Vincent. The tears were still going down her face she had no idea why she was still crying. Vincent would let her cry as long as she needed to though. She was safe there and Simon wouldn't know what had happened to her, but someone did now and it helped.

Vincent smiled at her. Be believed her when she said she was alright, even though she was crying. It must have been very difficult for her, carrying such a burden for all these years, having to confront that which she fears most. He wiped the tears from her eyes. "My beautiful little albatross."

River gave Vincent a small smile. She just wanted to lay in his arms and stay nice and warm. She was safe there and that was something she needed. River knew what she was capable of and she what would happen if she was set off by something.
"My Vincent" said River holding onto him.
She was safe and she knew it. Vincent was going to protect her from her fears.

Vincent held River in his arms with his forehead against hers. He started to gently rock back and forth. He started to gently sing a song that his mother used to sing to him when he was younger. The words seemed appropriate for this moment. He would be singing this to baby Jayla when she's born. [OOC - this is a link to the video that has the song on it, www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESEI9YybSNQ] |

River calmed down and went back to laying in his arms quietly. She let him rock her it was comforting to know he was there and holding her close to him. She listened to him sing, she loved his singing voice. She just wanted to lay there forever and never let go. She knew that he'd let her stay near him until going on jobs would be to dangerous for the baby. He'd worry alot about it too.

Vincent layed River back down on the bed, still holding her in his arms. He continued to hum the song to her. He pulled the covers back over them and gave her a long goodnight kiss. "We should get some sleep now. Its been a long night." He gave her another long kiss, "Goodnight."

"Good night" said River
River curled up with him and started to fall asleep. She snuggled as close to him as she could get and then closed her eyes. She was soon sleeping again and dreaming although this time it wasn't her dreams they were Vincent's which were comforting to her. She had her head on his chest again and listening to his heart. It was a comforting sound.

Vincent dreamed about Jayla. About holding her in his arms singing her to sleep. Reading her stories. Running round the cargobay, playing hide and seek. A small smile crept across his face as he slept. His dreams changed to River taking care of her. Seeing her hold Jayla just after she is born. Watching them chase each other in huge combat boots. Listening to them talk about things like early quantum state phenomenon. Yes, life was good.
