I don't own Mass Effect. There was no profit made from this story.
Thank You Shepard and Goodnight.
Jack wakes up from another nightmare, her wife Miranda is curled up next to her. Jack slips away, trying not to wake her up. She walks out on the balcony of their Citadel apartment.
She thinks back to her haunted past and her rough start with Miranda. Some of her memories make Jack laugh, others make her cringe. Ether way, she made it to play of peace. She's a got wife, a place to sleep, a job, and even a child. All thanks to Shepard.
He took time with her, and listened her. Understood her, better than anyone. Even Miranda. Everything Jack has, she has to thank Shepard for. She misses him, wishes she have another drink with him or even punch him in the face.
And in the end, he gave his life to save the galaxy from The Reapers. She was gonna marry him, he actually convinced to do it. She didn't believe in that shit, and he got to. And then he died...
Miranda was always there to comfort her, they had grown closer over the years. Eventually they got married and life happened. Jobs, Kids, Bills. No more saving the galaxy.
Jack loves Miranda without question, and they're daughter. it's just, she was supposed to be with Shepard and he should be here. But he isn't. He's gone but not forgotten, She'll love him forever.
Miranda walks out to the balcony and gives Jack a nice kiss. She wraps her arms around her.
Jack smiles, and laughs. "We're not gonna fuck again, if thats what you want".
Miranda leans in for a kiss "I always get what I want".
"Fucking Cheerleader" Jack gives her kiss anyway.
Suddenly there's a cry from the other room, a baby is screaming in her crib. Miranda walks and takes care of. Jack stays out for a more seconds.
"Thank You Shepard and Goodnight". Jack walks away...
THE END.
