Hey guys, I came up with this idea and had to write. Please let me know what you think, thank you.
Prologue
Eliza Shepard was eighteen, a spacer and very content with her life. Her father died when she was eight but her mother, was alive and doing minor tours as Captain. Shepard was proud of her parents and liked the idea of traveling throughout space on dangerous and spectacular missions. But she never really considered enlisting into the Navy Alliance. Not until the particular day, that changed her life, so she thought.
It was the year 2172 heading into the year 2173. Eliza was heading into the Space Station's restaurant where she was going to meet her mother before she was off on another tour. But, she never got there. Instead she saw her boyfriend, Marshall County with another girl. Right there in that moment, her whole world shattered. The happiness she had was instantly blown away.
Her broken heart is what drived her to enlist into the military. For the past month and a half, she was driven. She was the top trainee in training. Until everything collapsed when she started to feel ill. She had no energy and she couldn't hold her food. Even though the food in the training mess wasn't all that glamorous.
It was two and a half weeks of this clamy, sick routine that her over seer got her to go to the doctor on the training base. What he told her was nothing she expected.
She was pregnant.
But as normally that was joyful news, but not this time around. Eliza was terrified and had no idea what to do. Minus that she couldn't raise a baby without money and she couldn't live the military. She couldn't ask for her mother to abandon her love of service to watch her grandchild. It was unfair. So the rightful thing would give the baby up for adoption.
At the moment she decided to give her baby for adoption she didn't know that her baby and her will one day change the galaxy.
...
Year 2183
It's been months after the defeat of the rogue Spectre, Saren. Eliza has been on a wild, incredibly life changing journey across the galaxy. Stopping the invasion of the reason why the Prothens are extinct was no easy task. Even though it's against regs, she couldn't of done it without her lieutenant. Kaidan Alenko.
He was funny, charming and one hell of a bionic. But he also made her miss her son she gave up eleven years ago. Eliza always wondered how did he turn out and what was he studying for. In her heart she knows her son as Jackson but his family has probably given him a better thought out name.
When the Normandy was under attack, Eliza was determined to not lose anyone else important or close to her. She had lost her son, her best friend on Virmire. She wasn't going to lose anyone else, mainly Kaidan and Joker. But the stubborn pilot wouldn't leave the cockpit.
She don't regret her decision. Even as she's floating in space and trying to hold in the air that was quickly steeping out of the vile on her suit. She doesn't regret her decision even as the space closes around her in a freezing depth. Kaidan, Joker and the crew was safe. Her son was somewhere in the galaxy, safe. With those blissful thoughts, she let the darkness embrace her.
