AN: I know that there really couldn't be a Half Human/Turian, but hey! It's fiction. Let's have fun stepping outside the box.

Eve paced back and forth. Why would he ask that? Of course she had gone through military training, but how could that mean anything to him? Eve stopped and rubbed her forehead unsure of exactly what was going on. Her father's crew was watching her movements. Eve cleared her throat and walked over to a balcony. She leaned her head on her elbows and sighed.

"Eve?"

A deep voice came from behind her, but it wasn't unknown to her. She turned around and smiled softly at Randy Vakarian, a Half-Turian / Half-Human and one of her good friends. He wasn't alone. Two humans were standing with him along with a Quarrian.

"Hey, Randal." Eve greeted. She nodded to John Cena and Candice Cena, the humans and siblings, and smiled at Kelly'Zorah, the Quarrian.

"Are you alright?" Randy's voice was quieter than normal. Usually he and Eve were playfully at each other throats. Yelling and screaming to their hearts content.

"Yes and no." Eve responded turning around and glancing at her father's crew. Many of them did not look happy about whatever Shepard was talking to the rest of the council about especially Jack, the female convict with tats covering her whole torso. Only God knew if there were more on her body.

"What's going on?" John asked walking over to the young woman.

"You all heard that Commander Shepard was going to be making a stop in the Citadel today right?" The four others nodded. Eve continued on explaining just what had transpired the day before and about an hour before their exact conversation.

"Shepard is your real father?" Kelly asked. Eve nodded, "Wow…"

The four talked quietly before they were interrupted by two of the senior crew members, Garrus Vakarian and Tali'Zorah. Both had been on the original Normandy with Shepard.

"Eve, your father will be out soon and he has said that he wants to speak with you." Tali spoke. Her voice was soft like Kelly's. Tali looked at the young Quarrian standing beside Eve, "Kelly?"

"Tali! I knew I recognized your voice, but it just didn't click for some reason." Kelly squealed and ran over to her. They hugged and giggled.

Eve cocked an eyebrow and looked at her other friends for answers. None of them knew what was going on either. Kelly and Tali pulled away and Kelly finally turned back to her friends, "Guys, this is my cousin."

The other four nodded completely understanding. Garrus shook his head to his Quarrian crewmate. Tali looked at him, "What? We haven't seen each other in years. Don't give me that look Garrus."

"You don't see me freaking out that my son is here."

"Quarrian are different from Turian." Tali poked him, "Wait…you have a son?"

Garrus nodded, "I do. He's half-human."

Eve looked at Randy. Of course Randy's face, arms and legs were all human parts, but she'd never seen the rest of him. He absolutely refused to walk around without some kind of clothing on, and he'd get pissy if anyone tried to touch his chest. Randy cocked an eyebrow in Eve's direction.

"Rand, he's your father isn't he?" Eve's voice was only loud enough for the older man to hear. Randy's ice blue eyes flickered down to the ground. He swallowed a couple of times before nodding. Eve smiled and took his hand, "You're secret is safe with me, Randy. No one else needs to know unless you want to tell them."

Randy sighed in relief then smiled at her, "Thank you, Eve. I really appreciate it."

Eve winked at him. Out of the corner of her eye she saw her father exit the council room with a smug look on his face. Eve didn't really know what to think about that, but she was soon going to find out.
