Prologue

Admiral Elizabeth Shepard stood in the doorframe of her oldest daughter's room looking lovingly at the seventeen year old who was fast asleep.

Sometimes she had no idea how it had been seventeen years since the reapers had been defeated, and other times she felt all of those seventeen years on her shoulders. Arms wrapping around her waist and a chin on her shoulder made a smile cross the Admiral's face. Speaking softly she asked "Liara what are you doing awake?"

Lightly kissing her bondmates cheek Liara smiled softly, "Same as you of course spying on our baby."

Shepard smiled. "Don't let Tally hear you call her a baby." Both chuckled as Shepard pulled the door silently closed, turning to her wife and wrapping her into a huge hug she let the breath she had been holding out.

Rena padded out of her room; she woke in a terror having another nightmare and was on her way to her sister's room instead she spotted her parents in an embrace. Smiling at the love her parents emitted she didn't feel so scared anymore. Turning to walk back to her room, she felt her 'fathers' arms wrap around her lifting her high in the air. Letting out a small squeal she played along. "Put me down!"

Shepard proceeded to tickle her youngest daughter as she held her tight. "Or what?"

Not able to hold her laughter Rena erupted in a fit of giggles.

Tally poked her head out of her room noticing the scene in front of her she couldn't help but laugh. It was common in the Shepard-T'Soni household. Someone was always being tickled, or laughing or trying to scare someone else. Noticing her mother was not paying attention to anything except for Shepard and Rena she couldn't' help but join in on the family fun, lightly walking behind Liara and quickly grabbing her sides.

Liara knew her daughter was walking behind her, she knew Tally tried so hard to be stealthy but years of being the shadow broker and keeping up with Shepard had just about prepared her for anything. Quickly she grabbed her daughter's arms and pulled her into a tight hug. She couldn't get over how much like Shepard, Tally truly was. As she ran her fingers through Tally's newly buzzed brown hair as she smiled at her human child that she couldn't have loved anymore if she had given birth to her. "Thought you had me did you?"

"Never!" Tally smiled as she hugged her mother back both laughing at the battle going on between Shepard and Rena, both trying hard not to let the other win the tickle game.

Shepard finally gave up, collapsing on the floor as she looked at her young daughter whose biotics had started to flare, Tally rushing quickly behind taking over the tickling of the young Asari.

Rena laughed again "No fair, you're not supposed to double team!"

Tally grumbled something about cheating as she was jolted about a foot backwards by Rena's biotics. Something she had not managed to control as of yet. Looking up at her little sister she couldn't help but laugh. "Geeze, if that's the best you got we need to work on it!"

Rena looked mortified that she had sent her sister flying backwards. "I'm so sorry!" Walking over she offered her hand helping Tally to her feet. Quickly pulling her sister into a hug "Are you okay?"

Chuckling at her Tally looked down at Rena. "Squirt, it'd take more than that to take out a Shepard, don't you know that?"

Liara and Shepard were now sitting side by side on the living room floor watching their children, both smiling at one another. Even though one was a human child and the other Asari neither had ever felt less like siblings to one another. It was something both Liara and Shepard prided their self on. Liara felt a twinge of guilt over the white lie they had told Tally growing up, however it was something she and Shepard had agreed long ago was for the best. Shaking that thought off she felt Shepard's hand on her own giving a tight squeeze. Smiling once again to her bondmate she was so thankful this was her life.
