“Your father believes what he has to believe. If it wasn’t for him, none of this would be here. Your sister wouldn’t be here, you wouldn’t be here.”

Simon ducks his head for a moment, looks up again. “I would be here,” he says.

Did I read that right or did Simon just admit to being the product of an affair?

I really liked this, It's certainly spot on with Simon's characterization. I hope you eventually write more Mal/Simon. And can I say that River was just the perfect slightly bratty little sister in this? *snicker*
