AN: This is my first story so be kind! Is set around the ending of mass effect 3 but may do time jumps so be warned. The chapters will all be small with different POV on each chapter.

Note:I don't own the Mass Effect series though i wish i did so i could rewrite the ending.

Tamsin Shepard POV

Tamsin Shepard clutched her stomach holding in her gasp of pain in front of the stoic boy of the crucible. Four options, all of them spelt disaster. Not doing anything would mean she would cause all life to be destroyed, the reapers curse never ending so Tamsin would not be doing that. Destroying the reapers meant killing Edi and breaking her promise to Legion. She could not do that to them even if their biology was synthetic they still had souls like organics and deserve the right to live as any living person would. Controlling the reapers Tamsin had ruled out from the beginning anything the illusive man believed in Shepard would stick her middle finger up at. So the only option left was emergence. Shepard was prepared to sacrifice anything to save the galaxy but that one voice kept whispering in her ear… I love you… try for a turian-human baby… meet me at the bar. Shepard knew it was selfish but she would not meet Garrus at the bar she would ensure that they both lived; after all she thought with a smile… there was no Shepard without Vakarian.
