He hasn't gone to the sickbay yet. He's been sitting in his room, staring at the desk in front of him and hoping he did the right thing. What do you get a woman as a romantic gesture on a day that's important to her? Not just Valentine's Day, but her birthday?
He never does seem to manage to make the right gesture. It's ... something he knows is lacking in him, and he knows that's part of why even after so long, things are still not right between him and Kaylee. Still not what he'd wanted.
He's staring at the package, the result of quite some time spent in the bar with the replicators and even talking to the waitstaff, to try to work out what the best fruits would be to give her.
It's quite a large basket of them that he's amassed. Strawberries, of course, because they're her favorites, and even he knows that, but he's found several other types of berries, some of them native to Earth-that-Was and unfamiliar in his time, and some of them from the other worlds that have been discovered in this timeline.
He does, though, have to get going if he has any chance of leaving these for Kaylee before she wakes up. So he stands, takes a deep breath, and picks up the basket to carry it out into the living area.

Where he sees Kaylee, in her pajamas.
"Kaylee!"
