Mal laid on a bed, breathing was shallow.

His children and grand children were bedside him,

He knows his time is near he was ready to leave,

And see his wife river again.

River had died seven years ago. She catch an illness,

That was so bad she tried to against her sickness,

And lasted four months before after her death.

Her last word's to her husband and her children,

Was " I love you all very much ".

Mal held her close against him

As wept as he promise to to take care of the children.

Mal 's tear running down this face as he remembered,

All he been through , ranching, the war, buying,

Serenity, meeting the crew, irana leaving,

Marrying river, the birth of there sons and

Daughters.

All of his children were married and had children of their own,

His daughters all held his hands, his son's watched as there

Dad's breath was getting worse.

His daughter kissed his dad on the cheek and the forehead,

Mal hugged both his son's,

Mal took his last breath, then close his eyes.

When he opened his eyes,

He looked into a pond of water and was shocked,

His grey hair ,and wrinkles where gone,

His skin was tanned and smooth.

Mal continued to move around and saw

A house and he walked inside, and he

Heard laughter behind him.

"River?" Said mal in shock,

River walked up to him saying "I've been waiting for you"

They kissed passionately

For they were together again.
