A/N: I do not own Mass Effect, Bioware does.

Chapter 1- Impossible

Miranda didn't like the way she couldn't sleep and she didn't like the fact that she was alone with her thoughts eating away at her. She glanced over to the one person she never thought in a million light years would hold her heart. Red hair, green and a smirk that would drive her wild for many years to come. Her wife was undoubtedly one of the biggest things in this galaxy and the fact that person was all hers made her tingle with butterflies.

So no she couldn't hold in everything anymore as she spoke.

"Shepard."

Miranda waited, she played with fingers and then looked over again. She huffed out and yelled this time "Shepard!"

"The Reapers!" Shepard yelled out shooting up from the bed wide eyed trying to make sense of her surroundings. She looks around before her eyes land on Miranda "You better have a good reason for waking me up, if not you will be considered a Reaper. I have no qualms." Shepard muttered arms crossed over her chest.

Miranda could only let a small smile cross her features as she watched Shepard. Her red head was trying to be beyond serious and Miranda knew that Shepard probably was. Though only thing that stopped it from being so serious was because Shepard's bright red hair was in awkward tufts from sleeping. It made the whole situation more humoring than anything else.

"Close your eyes." Miranda said her accent present

Shepard cocks her head to the side and sighs "Alright Lawson."

Attentively Miranda waits for a few seconds to see if Shepard would peak but after she is sure Shepard wont, she turns over to her side. Her hand reaches out for the object she wants but she pauses because this could go all two ways. Of course she is happy but there is all this dread within her too but it all leads down to the fact that Shepard needs to know. She really needs to know and that is why she is doing this in the first place.

She had not been able to sleep this night which made everything worse. Ever since she had started to sleep next to Shepard she was instantly out but this night was different. So because of that restlessness she had gone out of bed and into the bathroom to see what was really wrong. Which then led to her a very big surprise and being the Ice Queen she was surprises really were not her thing. Though with everything said she gladly welcomed this one.

She held the piece in her hand tightly as she scooted closer to Shepard the blankets becoming a jumbled mess. She looked over her Shepard's face the way her freckles seemed to dance across her face, her peachy full lips and green eyes that were hidden behind closed eye lids. She leaned forward closing the distance between them with a gentle kiss. She smiled when she felt Shepard smirk.

"I love you." Miranda whispered as she pulled away

"And I love you too" The commander said taken by surprise but her face changed "But right now I am up in the middle of night. Last time I checked I was killing Reapers, you are one of them."

Miranda cocked an eyebrow "That may be true but I am sure I save your life. Twice."

"If you didn't know, Lawson, that was an order to explain what you're doing." Shepard drawled out.

"Off Duty, Shepard." Miranda mocked

Miranda was caught off guard when Shepard took her by surprise and pushed down onto the bed straddling her. Her eyes clenched shut and she put the little object between both of her hands and held it in front of her face. It was the very reason she had woken up Shepard in the first place and she didn't know how else to tell Shepard. She wasn't even sure her voice could work now that the moment of truth was happening.

"What's that?" Shepard murmured taking the object from Ice Queen.

Miranda peeked through one eyelid as she watched a face she had never before seen. Shepard's eyes shined a brighter emerald green then she had ever seen before and if she were honest it rivaled the stone itself. A big, shining smile spread over Shepard's face gradually and Miranda knew that the news was sinking in. Miranda felt overwhelmed because right there in front of her, the hero of the galaxy had a pure face of happiness. Shepard started to laugh loud and long which only added to the rush of emotions Miranda had.

"Me and you? Really?"

Miranda could only nod as Shepard attacked her with kisses, along her jaw, her nose, forehead and she then trailed down to Ice Queen's stomach. Miranda felt her eyes well when a long, soft and warm kiss was held there. "You are so special little one, I love you." Shepard whispered and Miranda almost lost it, tears spilling on the side of her eyes. Galaxy let it be known that Miranda Lawson has the best person in the world.

Shepard looked worriedly over to Miranda and kissed her on the lips "Are you okay? Did I do something?"

Miranda shook her head "No Shepard, you just do everything. There happy tears, I promise."

Shepard nodded before jumping out of the bed and taking Miranda with her spinning her in a big circle before gently placing her down again "Remember the whole reaper thing? Turns out my scans were wrong. You know in case you were worrying." Shepard replied holding Miranda in her arms.

"I never had worries. My girlfriend is the hero of the galaxy" Miranda joked through her tears, voice a mess. Her face dropped again when she thought about what was happening. They had been through this before, countless times but this time it was real. There was not turning back and if it was hitting her than it must be hitting Shepard too. Her blue eyes looked up to search familiar green ones before speaking again.

"Shep- Honey, are you sure? I know we have talked about and god we have planned so many times. But this time its very real and-" Miranda stopped what she was saying when she felt two warm hands cup her cheeks and her eyes closed when she felt a soft kiss on her lips.

Shepard pushed Miranda back to look her in the eyes "I have never, Miranda, never have been sure of anything in my life. I made a promise to you, a promise to come back."

"I know."

"Good because I fought for our love, I fought for the chance to keep on showing that love. For a future I wanted with you. After all we have been through, I get to have a baby with you?" Shepard shook her head a smile on her lips "Something we thought impossible. My god Miranda, I want this and I only want it with you." Shepard pulled Miranda closer tightening her hold on her.

Miranda was speechless as she let the words sink in, she wants this, I want this, it's all I have ever wanted. It really was something she had dreamed for, something she never thought she would have but she does, she finally does. In her thoughts she had not noticed the tears fall down her face until she felt Jane's fingers gently wipe them away and led them back to the bed. As Shepard laid down, Miranda snuggled up close, her head resting under the Commanders chest a slow thump of a heart beat echoing in her ear, as their legs intertwined.

This was home this would always be home to her for now and for the rest of their lives. Miranda knew she had more tears coming out of her eyes because Shepard kept on soothing her and she just had to chuckle because she really was lucky. A baby, they were going to have a baby together. So many things came into her mind, things she dreamed of that she now hoped for. Things she thought of that she could now do everything was very real possibility and she adored it.

She saw so many combinations of what their baby could like and she just had to repeat again. Their baby. The little life that was now growing inside her and she had to place her own hand there just to be sure. Miranda smiled again but her cheeks hurt so much that she must have not stopped smiling all this time. She grabbed Shepard's hand, interlacing their fingers together before putting both their hands on her stomach. Many women would be dreading their stomach but Miranda couldn't wait because that was her baby, Shepard's baby, theirs. She didn't think she was ever going to get over it and really she didn't want to.

"That's our baby." Shepard whispered in awe.

Miranda could only snuggle closer kissing Shepard's neck "It is."

"We- Miranda we did it. We made a baby."

Miranda laughed "We made a baby."

"We made a baby." Shepard repeated most likely to herself but Miranda couldn't believe it either. She felt the same way, they made this little person no one else.

"I want the baby to come out with your eyes you know." Miranda said after some time.

Shepard squeezed Miranda and hummed before replying "It'd be nice if they came out with your smile."

Miranda laughed because god what the world needed was more Shepard's. Little people with stubborn attitudes, irritable smirks and witty comebacks. Miranda thought about herself and shook her head. Maybe little people with smart mouths, intelligent minds and short tempers, whatever the case their child would surely be something. It was Miranda Lawson and Jane Shepard's child the world could and should expect everything. Then one word smacked her head and she had to look up at Shepard with wide eyes but the commander was already half way to sleeping.

They. Shepard had said they and Miranda wanted to know, no, she needed to know.

"Bab- Nevermind." She didn't want to ruin the moment and she bit down on her tongue last minute.

Shepard groaned pulling Miranda closer "Tell me."

The ice queen pondered for a moment and she thought of what she wanted to tell Shepard. She didn't really understand why she hesitated so much around the person who only ever showed her love. Showed her a constant form of caring and unconditional devotion, love and kindness. Took down her walls with a ship, left it mess and helped build her back up with never leaving. Miranda gripped Shepard's sleep shirt because she never wanted to lose her, to never lose her again. So she whispered very, very softly what she wanted because it was hard this time around but god she wanted it.

"I want to- I want to have more."

"Mm, mph. We will have as many as you would like." Shepard replied now half asleep

Miranda internally squealed at the thought and she would bring this up later again. Though a tired Shepard is equivalent to a drunk Shepard, which only meant one thing. Complete, blunt and honest answers. Shepard didn't mind having more kids and that shot a rush love through Miranda. She had to pinch herself lightly because she thought this might have all been a dream but the pain told her that this was very much real.

That life she always pictured, always drew about as a child and wrote down in her diaries was very much coming alive. A family, a normal family with a person she could not picture her life without and loved her for her. Not for her power, not for her money, not for her beauty and not for body. Simply her with all her imperfections, insecurities and doubts. If she had the chance to tell her younger self if she got what she was wishing for she would tell her one thing.

"You will meet a person one day who will for the first time confuse you. Don't ever let this person go."

After that Miranda fell asleep happier than she could ever imagined herself and it was all because of one person who she never understood. Couldn't understand until she let herself love, let her walls down and then she finally fit the puzzle piece. A smirk was on her face when the last thought left her mind.

Shepard needs to get ready, we have to start practicing again and soon.

A/N:

When I played Mass Effect, I wondered why Miranda was not an option for FemShep (along with others.) I mean Miranda put two years of her life into Shepard that is dedication.

It is a one-shot story for now who knows. It is meant to be light and fluffy thus the OOC-ness of this.

As this is my first Fanfic, I hope you enjoyed. Feedback is welcome or ideas.

I hope you enjoyed!

Until Next Time.

UPDATE: To anyone who is new and reading this, this has been completely re-written. Along with my other Mass Effect Fanfiction. To the ones who have been here, As much as I cherished this, it needed to be done. I still have the originals on my PC so, they are there. I still hope you like it.
