Old Home Remedies
*************************
Kaylee hung around the infirmary, nervously waiting for any improvement in the patient.
“What he really needs is to be somewhere warm and wet, to ease his breathing,” Simon explained, “It’s the only thing that will make him feel better.”
“How about the showers?” Kaylee suggested, “We could turn the hot water on and close the door. It would get real steamy in there. Just how we used to cure the croup in ma younger brothers an’ sisters.”
“That’s brilliant, Kaylee. Let’s get him over there.”
“Think we might need some help. He’s real heavy,” she joked.
Jayne was burning up when Kaylee woke after their night of passion. At first she panicked. How could this happen after the amazing night they spent together? Then she pulled herself together. Things needed to be done, and if she didn’t do them, no one else would.
She pulled off the bedclothes to cool him down, and then remembered how her Mama used to wipe a cool cloth over their skin to bring down a high fever.
She put on Jayne’s discarded t-shirt and ran a bowl of cool water. She was soon wiping him down, but he was still gripped with fever, so she decided to go and get the Doc.
Kaylee quickly pulled on her overalls then noticed that Jayne was shivering, so she drew the bedclothes back over him before running to fetch Simon.
The Doc took one look at Jayne before calling for help to move him to the infirmary.
Kaylee turned the shower on full blast, letting the steam fill the room.
Almost immediately, his wheezing started to ease, and his breathing became less laboured.
She sat on the floor and moved his head into her lap. She ran her fingers gently through his hair.
“Ya said it was just a bitty cold, Jayne. Weren’t supposed ta turn into bronchitis.”
Jayne moaned and snuggled his cheek against her soft hand.
She sighed, “Ya gotta git better. We’ve only just found each other, admitted how we feel. Don’t know what I’d do here without ya.”
Tear began to fall down her cheeks.
Jayne’s eyes opened, his hand caressing her cheek. “Shhhh, Kaylee girl, don’t worry none. My Ma just uses a mustard plaster, gets me better right away. Just ask the Doc.”
*************************
Kaylee was soon back with a bandage, and a bowl of mustard poultice.
Her fingers trembled as she helped him slip his t-shirt off.
“Put it on now, Kaylee girl.”
She spread the foul smelling mustard concoction across his upper chest and neck, just like the Doc told her. Then she placed the bandages on top.
Jayne hissed as the mustard plaster began working, the heat easing the congestion, sweating out the infection and opening up his airways again, just like the steam from the showers was doing.
“Ya ‘kay, Jayne? Ya need me ta git Simon?”
“Naw, Kaylee girl, just stay here with me, an’ stroke ma hair like ya did before. Makes me feel all kindsa better, that does.” Jayne smiled weakly.
“‘Kay, bao-bei, I’ll stay.” She pressed a gentle kiss to his forehead, as Jayne relaxed into her caresses.
Convalescing
*************************
Kaylee spent all her free time sitting with Jayne, chatting and laughing away with him, holding his hand whilst he slept, and bringing him things as he needed them.
It had spread into her work time too, which the Captain hadn’t been too happy about. So she’d even started to bring spare engine parts into the infirmary to work on them by his side.
Just now, she brought him a tall, cool glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. He sat sipping it ever so slowly through a straw.
He looked so comical, Kaylee couldn’t help the belly laugh bubbling up inside.
“Hey!” Jayne scowled, “Them ain’t kosherised rules!”
“But bao-bei, ya look so sweet drinkin’ like that.” Kaylee cooed.
“I ain’t sweet,” Jayne growled, “I’m a stone cold Merc…” he struggled to find the words.
“…who’s drinking OJ through a straw!” Kaylee finished with a giggle.
Jayne scowled at her.
“Don’t be a grouchy old bear, “she teased.
“Hey, who ya callin’ old?” Jayne complained.
“Not you, I wouldn’t dare,” she leaned over and pressed a soft kiss to his cheek, “but ya can be awful grumpy.”
“Just cause I wanna be up doin’ somethin’,” he explained.
“Ya do need ta rest, so’s ya can get better real soon, Simon said. That’s why I’m here, to do stuff with ya, an’ keep ya mind offa being bored.”
“There’s only one way I know ta keep ma mind offa bein’ bored,” he said, raising an eyebrow.
Kaylee feigned innocence. “What’s that then?”
“This,” he leaned forward and kissed her lips. She groaned in response, and kissed him gently back.
“Easy there, cowboy. Don’t run before ya can walk,” she teased.
“Yes, ma’am!” he answered.
