CHAPTER 2

- " MOTIVES FOR HER "-

Through the crowd of people. Denmark laughed aloud hearing Garrus talking about his plans for a birthday party for his kids. Garrus used hand motions.

His words were thorough. His mind set on trying to get to the point. But Denmark had no trouble. He loved his family.

A bunch of individuals who cared for one another. Not by race but by the kind of bond they had built.

People laughed and talked among them as they entered into a shop in the citadel. Denmark looked away as he smiled at a couple of children.

Noticing them smiling back at him. Garrus went onto paying for a couple of toys for his two children back at home.

" Den, What are you planning to do for her?" he asked

Den's hands were inside his jeans pockets. He smiled and stared towards the citadel ceiling as they walked out.

" Something out of the ordinary" said Den smiling at him

Garrus walked passed a security guard and sighed a bit. Thinking about his wife and there anniversary , from last Year.

" What? I mean she can and will just read your mind " he said

Garrus looked towards Den. Wondering what he should do. Something similar.

" Hey, Hey Marriage is a sacred bond of trust and lust " he said laughing

Den made a large smile. His grin was wide , confident. No fear at all.

" I swear she might already have" said Garrus walking side by side

" Liara loves me so much , I know she wont just read my mind at all , well I hope not" he said wondering now

" Haha you still are clueless or just forget her ability to tickle your thoughts" said Garrus


" Liara! Hi honey " said Hannah Shepard (Denmark's Mom)

" Hi Hannah " she said walking inside with bags

Hannah closed the door behind her. Noticing just only Liara for now. Not Her son. She looked at Liara walking into the living room. Looking at the fireplace.

Blue flames burning. The room was filled with artwork. Liara turned around and looked at her mother-in-law.

" Where's Den?" asked Hannah

" Oh running an errand with Garrus " she said

" Oh well , he's probably doing something either stupid or honest " she said smiling

" I hope it's the honest one , because at times I swear " said Liara laughing

" Does he still have those colored pictures on his underwear?" asked Hannah

" Yes he does , of fictional characters one was Blasto and the other the side character" said Liara laughing


" No , Garrus come on" said Denmark

" I mean what else would she give you today knowing the kind of thing it is today" said Garrus holding a martini in his right hand

" Seriously ? I don't know I mean I remember she said something about?!" said Denmark with a puzzled face and struggle

Denmark made his face strong trying to think and remember hard. Trying to remind herself about why's and what's. Trying to hold himself.


-( Short memory scene)-

" Den , Honey I want to buy new curtains , new sheets , oh! And Maybe make the nursery for the baby's room" said Liara

"ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZ" snoozed aloud Denmark while lying on the couch holding a magazine on upcoming Movies on his face

- (Memory ENDS)-

" For the love of God I cannot Remember" he said puzzled

" HAHAHAH , you fell asleep again didn't you?! Really I swear Den , remember that time with the council?!" yelled Garrus swirling his martini

-( Memory Starts )-

The council smiled seeing the commander facing them. His might. His strength. What he represented for all of Humanity. What he meant.

Denmark smiled and looked back at his team. Liara smiled with a bit of giggle. She looked downwards and wondered. Garrus whispered.

" Look forward idiot!"

" Commander Shepard we would like to extend-"

Shepard dropped dead onto the floor as he snoozed on until he snored. Garrus and Liara sighed noticing him still hung over from the last late night party.

The kind of party that was given on special occasions.

(Memory Ends)


"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" both laughed looking at each other

Both laughed together like brothers. Enjoying the day. As they tried to keep themselves preoccupied.

" Hello boys , taking the sights?" asked Miranda from behind them

"Miri!" Yelled Den as he spun his seat and dropped into the ground

"AHHH!HAHA" yelled Denmark dropping face first into the ground

" OH SHIT!" yelled Garrus luaghing and holding himself on his chair still
