A sign of good will

"Papa?"

Wrex yawned as cleaned his gun not bothering to look up, as his son was rather small he did acknowledge him though. Other Krogan, specifically his brother Wreav, tended to give him a hard time for being 'too soft' though he couldn't help the soft spot he had though he supposed one could blame Bakara for that. She only praised him for choosing affection over rage where he could, still for his skill and ruthlessness in battle he was still popular for leading. Though their father was planning on splitting up their people as it was to see who was the better leader of the two. Who should have control over their entire group.

Perhaps eventually all Krogan, they were sitting in a mostly dark center nothing like Tuchanka it was one of the artificial set ups as a sort of gesture of peace connecting the council.

"What is it Grunt?"

"I found this weird fleshy thing, it keeps squeaking at me."

"What a hairless pyjak?"

"I don't think so...well maybe."

He got up and followed his son to wherever the thing was, he heard crying and knew it was no pyjak Grunt bounced a bit waving his little tail as he pointed to where it was. He moved the bit of rubble, some plaster that looked like it had been used to hide whatever was crying, most of the Krogan that traveled and set up camp in these areas liked them well enough though it wasn't the same as being in their own home.

"What the..."

The baby continued crying, it was cold and it was a great injustice no one was holding the little bundle already. Grunt bent down and poked one puffy cheek carefully used to seeing the newborn Krogan back on Tuchanka. The Genophage had been...corrected not really cured it did prevent them from having too many children and too many was over ten per couple. It was a compromise most didn't agree with but without the money to make every planet that wasn't habitable yet even by alien standards...well they had to stick to a more reasonable number.

The children were effected by it, some were growing a little more quickly physically before slowing down. In Grunt's case he was a little behind most already.

Wrex moved to pick The little one up they were in a human colony at the moment, Wrex insisted on these trips teaching children and others about other races he didn't think that keeping war going was doing anyone any good. Another thing his brother tended to give him shit about but he listened to Bakara constant fighting while the desire for dominance through violence was normal for most Krogan it was no longer doing them any good and he'd be damned if the Krogan were left behind in the past while the other species moved beyond them.

He glanced at Grunt when the crying didn't stop who innocently waving his little arms hooking his hands together. Telling his father to rock her, he really only spent time with Grunt but when Bakara took him to the ward to see the little ones he seemed to have taken a liking to them and paid a lot more attention than some of the other fathers did.

He tried the motion.

"Now now, no crying, there's no danger here."

With a pout, most likely frightened by the sound of his voice the sniffing and crying started again.

"Wrex what have you done to our...oh what's this where did you get that baby?" Bakara asked, hearing the crying she thought it might have been Grunt. He was a strong little Krogan did his family proud but he was a still a child, he cried sometimes and it was small and frail when it came.

He stood up.

"Grunt found it...under the trash here.."

She walked over and took the bundle from him.

"Not an 'it' love, a baby..oh look at those pretty green eyes what a darling thing, the humans do tend to have cute babies. Come Grunt you haven't seen a human baby until now hmm?"

she bent and he continued looking at the little one who stopped crying in Bakara's arms.

"Well I don't know what the baby is..what's wrong with 'it'?"

She shook her head and they moved to their chosen area she found a spare cloth diaper to use for the baby she still sniffled a bit though.

"Ah I see, this is a girl."

"Humans just leave their female babies out like this?"

"Sometimes the bad ones do...and they do it to boys too."

"What for?" he asked shock clear in his tone.

"I don't really understand it but it's like when Krogan snap and simply can't be trusted with family, happens with humans too. They're not all good or bad but a mix just like any species, if they left her here we should do something."

"Like what? There haven't been any humans on Tuchanka yet they probably can't even handle it and I don't see any suits for humans that size."

"We can stay here for a while longer can't we?"

"Bakara..."

"Wreav would give up the first chance he got, you can prove that Krogan are more than simple creatures like some would assume. I don't know all there is to know about humans Wrex, what if they just get rid of her because she isn't with family? I can't accept that."

He sighed.

"Well I guess it is..sad, well what's wrong with it..."

"Wrex you call this beautiful little girl an it one more time and I'll break a rock on your head."

"Damn and you're supposed to be the peaceful one."

"That is peaceful, with your big hard head it could hardly do anything to you."

"Alright alright...without Wreav making waves the human councilor hasn't been pushing us off I guess we can keep her...for a little bit." knowing full well that she was one of the few that still had issue giving birth. She adored their son she simply wanted a large family she bent down to scoop Grunt up holding him close.

"Oh thank you Wrex...see they get along anyhow."

Grunt made growling noises at her though he was no where near as menacing as his father was, she cooed grabbing at his armor.

"Yeah yeah...what do human babies eat anyways?"

"The same thing Krogan babies eat, besides we may not have to hold on to her long anyhow...make sure it's known we didn't just steal someone's baby." she said her tone sad.

He nodded, though he doubted anyone would take her away from someone carefully tending to her when their own just dropped her off he'd check though before they made any permanent plans they could at least keep her for the night.

….

It was mostly kept quiet though they did take her in to get a DNA test their hadn't been reports of a missing baby. Wrex didn't know who had to plan what to make sure she was taken without notice it was strange. Dr. Chakwas came to keep an eye on her, checked her over though she did speak for Bakara seeing the way they cared for her. She spoke to Uldina thinking it was a sign of goodwill, better than an arranged marriage to make peace. Though it was classified information now it would be revealed later...like a hush hush experiment. She stayed with Dr. Chakwas when they had to go back to Tuchanka, Grunt never wanted to especially when he got his first growth spurt and she was even more the little sister.

It was years before they found why it was so difficult to track down her parents, they were already kept classified for their work with the Alliance. Even more so they had never been to the colony no one was entirely sure how she ended up there. Though her family took her back and for a while she didn't get see the Krogan she knew as family.

A fact she hated, though with a war going on between some of the Krogan she wasn't safe with them anyhow. She did have an actual brother through blood though she missed Grunt, Aaron Shepard was too different ironically enough since he was Felicity's twin.

(Don't ask I should be sleeping, not giving into ideas that pop up during that time...ah well lol.)
