It's The Krogan In Her:
By N.J Jordbrukaren.
A/N: Written for a Kink Meme prompt. The prompt itself being as follows:
"FemShep is not afraid of anything... except pregnant asari maidens.
I would love to see an emotionally distraught/hormonal Liara wanting to rip Shepard's head off. Shep bows down to the preggo asari's needs to keep her somewhat calm. And tries not to get a biotic throw to her backside.
Bonus:
+ Shep calling her bro ,Garrus, for some advice.
+ A fluffy scene where Liara apologizes for being so hormonal, then gets emotional and starts crying."
Chapter One: Irrational Streak.
Liara paced the kitchen floor, gripping the mug in her hands with a vice like grip. She was in emotional turmoil.
The asari did not know what to do with herself. She wanted to sit, but, for some reason, that made her back ache worse. She wanted to lie down, but she could never get comfortable, what with her being six months into her pregnancy. She wanted to cry, but at the same time, she wanted to rip something, or someone, apart. There was one thing she wanted more than anything else right now, though, and that one thing was further from her grasp than all of the others put together.
Shepard…
Liara wanted Shepard to hold her. Liara wanted to snuggle herself close to her wonderful Bondmate and forget the day's woes. She craved Shepard's touch, the way her calloused yet careful hands ran over her sensitive breasts, sliding down across her swollen womb. Having Shepard touch her there was soothing for both her and their baby. She wished she knew Shepard's trick. Sometimes at night, when the baby became a tad more active, Liara would search for Shepard's hand under the sheets before moving it to rest over the swell of her belly. The human's touch immediately calmed both her and their baby down.
Liara should be happy about that, happy that she had Shepard at all. A lot of asari went on to raise their children alone, but here she was, the most blessed asari alive. Not only was she bonded to the most charming, magnificent human in the galaxy, she was also lucky enough to be creating a family with her. Most asari, most people in fact, would do anything to get a piece of what Liara had. Something that had been made very clear to her over the past few years.
Liara digits tightened around the mug.
First Sha'ira, then that Gianna woman… then Shiala, and I still remember the way that receptionist ogled Shepard whenever we were at the embassies. Then there was Kelly, Traynor and Diana Allers… Liara sighed, one of her hands moving off the mug to rest atop the developing swell of her belly. Could they ever be a happy family? If "Alliance business" was not coming between them, then all of these people would surely try to. How was she to compete with them? All of those beautiful women. Then there were the men! Kaidan came to mind the quickest. He had nursed his feelings for the Commander over the years, much to Liara's annoyance. He was not the only one, though. Thankfully, most of the other men had moved on with their own lives. James is not one of them, though, is he? Liara's frown grew deeper. Shepard was currently helping him prepare for the rigors of the N7 program. The pair of them spent more time together now than ever before. Liara had seen the way he flirted with Shepard, with "Lola". Goddess forbid that her Bondmate reciprocate. Liara shook her head. She trusted Shepard not to do that, deep down. The pregnancy hormones were merely messing around with her emotions.
An unexpected growl escaped Liara's lips. This was not fair! Shepard was out there, obliviously surrounded by admirers, and Liara had to stay here, cooped up. If she had control of her Shadow Broker resources, she would most certainly be utilizing them right now. That was not the case, however. Shepard made Liara promise to leave it during her pregnancy. It was high risk enough already. Shepard refused to let Liara become more stressed, possibly harming both her own health as well as that of their unborn child. Liara was inclined to agree, if only for Shepard's and their baby's sakes. Shepard had lost enough over the past few years, something like this would likely be the death of her.
Liara sniffled back the tears, the thumb of the hand resting upon her womb tracing soothing circles. Everything was so hard! Without Shepard with her, she could not get a good night's rest. Without Shepard here, she could not sate her needs. Without Shepard in her sight, she constantly worried about her. Not being the Shadow Broker did relieve some of her stress, but having Shepard back at work opened the floodgates to more.
Her tears came more freely now. The small rivulets of water gracefully slipped down soft blue cheeks. Liara's messy emotions were driving her insane. The asari assured herself that they was doing the same to Shepard, too. Perhaps that is why she stays at work so late, sometimes. Liara began to sob. The thought that she was driving her Bondmate away was enough to break her heart.
As quickly as the tears had started, they had stopped. The frown returned to Liara's face, her royal blue eyes ablaze with barely contained rage.
Why should I feel bad about this? Liara seethed. According to father, it is Shepard's fault I am… The asari paused searching for the term her father had used. Knocked up? I am sure that is the phrase she used. Liara placed her mug upon the counter and began pacing once more.
Shepard would not be home for another twenty minutes. Two hours if she decided to give James extra training (which she seemed hell bent on doing this morning.) Blue hands balled up into fists. Why did Shepard insist on spending so much time with him and not her? Liara felt incredulous. The tears started coming again, but this time they were a mixture of sadness and anger.
As the father of their unborn baby, it was Shepard's job to be here, with her. Helping her through it. Listening to her when she complained. Soothing her when she ached. Pleasuring her when she desired. But, alas, that was not the case. Yet again, Shepard had jilted her, running off back to the Goddess forsaken Alliance.
Liara had never brought Shepard up on her behaviour, but after thinking on it a little more, she decided that she most certainly planned to as of now.
Goddess forgive me, but, if I have to drag her in here kicking and screaming then I will. We cannot go on like this. Liara placed both hands against her swollen abdomen. We have to talk about this for her sake.
