I want to believe that Zoe is pregnant in Serenity. I want to believe that even though Wash is gone, she is going to have that kid they were talking about, because it will be the most beautiful child, with reddish-gold hair, chocolate skin and clear blue eyes. And it'll choke Mal up from time to time, even though he'd never admit it - only River and the kid will know - but he'll teach her - the kid, she's a daughter - he'll teach her to fly, very early on, take her on his knees in Wash's pilot seat and put his big hands over her tiny ones on the 'wheel', and they'll play with the dinosaurs and god, I'm breaking my own heart thinking of this.
Wash and Zoe are just. They work so well, and I adore Joss for showing us a married couple, where the marriage isn't all happy on top of that, but where the marriage is working, and they're in love, and they have great sex, and they're both such interesting characters and she's this amazingly strong woman and he's not strong in the same ways but boy, is he as well, and she's a warrior and he's a pacifist and we know she's the reason he's here, first and foremost, she's his path to serenity.
And they just look so good together, Alan and Gina sold them perfectly, and I don't know if they did a better job at the happiness or the tensions, they did both so amazingly well, and the way they react when the other one is in danger, so different - Zoe all calm and stoic, Wash fiery and irrational and in-Mal's-face - and yet so very much the same, at the core, because it's love. All of it, love, and they have it, and rejoice in it, and that's why I love them.
