Shepard had recently received the email from Hackett. Her mother, Hannah Shepard, had been granted to take a "vacation" if you could even call it that on the Normandy. The main reason was so Shepard could see her mother again and vice versa because of the Reaper War. It would be for two weeks and then Shepard's mom would go back to her ship and continue her duties. Hannah's ship docked with the Normandy and Hannah came aboard.

The crew of the Normandy was there to greet her. She walked toward them and she and her daughter immediately pulled each other into a fierce hug. Hannah Shepard was slightly taller than her daughter and like her daughter she had dyed red hair. She was medium sized when it came to a body, not to skinny and not fat at all.

"It's so great to see you mom!" said Shepard as she hugged her mother.

"It's great to see you too honey, I haven't seen you in so long." she said as the parted.

"Well at least we get to see each other now." said Shepard.

Hannah Shepard walked around the greeting party, shaking hands with everyone. She shook hands with Specialist Traynor, Garrus, Joker, EDI, the whole crew, after a tiny bit she shook hands with Liara, the last in the line.

"Dr. T'Soni, Shepard's told me all about you too" she said as she gave Liara's hand a shake.

"Let me show you where you'll be sleeping mom." said Shepard.

"I already know I'll be sleeping in the crew quarters honey." said Hannah.

"Yeah I know but I'd still like to show you." said Shepard as she pointed to elevator.

"Alright, bye everyone." said Hannah as she followed Shepard towards the elevator. Just before she left to follow Shepard though, Liara swore she saw Shepard's mother wink at her. She figured she must have been seeing things but she felt a tiny bit uneasy.
