A/N : Thank you for all your kind reviews and to everyone who favorites and follow the story. I decide to up the Chapter 2 sooner than I thought since I get the overwhelming response for the first chapter. I still tinkering with the third chapter so I won't promise you if I will post it soon. So we will have Shepard/Liara moment for this chapter with a special someone. But for the third chapter you all will know what exactly happen to Shepard and how exactly my ending of Mass Effect 3 took place. After that I was thinking that chapter 4 will involve a lowdown on Shepard mysterious family, if your Shepard have a Spacer background. So I hope you all like chapter 2. I try my best for this chapter but I don't want to spend more time on it than I should in case I get a writer block and won't be able to continue the story. All kind reviews are welcome once again.
Chapter 2 : A New Life
'We should do this more often.'
'Yes, well. Maybe after…'
'Every day after.'
That smile… Always took her breath away. Always make her heart skip a beat. Those cerulean blue eyes she love to get lost into. Will she ever see those eyes again? Will she ever see Liara again? Shepard tries to wake up but something is stopping her from doing so. Once again Shepard falls into another memory.
"She refused to stay away from Shepard side ever since the Normandy dock 2 weeks ago. I'm worry about her. I sure don't want to make Shepard mad if anything happen to Liara. Running away from Cerberus is one thing, but Shepard? I rather fight Reapers than face her anger." Miranda said to Dr. Chakwas outside Shepard room. The room are tightly guard by Alliance ever since a news broke out that Commander Shepard is alive.
"I will go talk to her and get her to eat something." Dr. Chakwas said as she make her way to Shepard room.
"Liara…" Liara was startled as she saw the older woman make her way towards Shepard bed.
"Dr. Chakwas. You are here to check on Shepard? Miranda just did so a few minutes ago. Is something wrong?" ask Liara in panic.
"No. I'm not here to check on Shepard. Her condition is improving each day and she is getting stronger. But we do not want to let her wake just yet. The reason I'm here is for you Liara. Shepard isn't going anywhere. You need to eat and rest Liara."
"No. What if .. When I leave.. She…."
"I will make sure she won't." Dr. Chakwas replied in reassurance as she put her hand on Liara shoulder.
"How can you be sure? I wasn't there when she died the first time and I need to be there if she die again.." Liara get up from the chair beside Shepard a little too quickly. Before Dr. Chakwas could say anything Liara falls to the floor.
"Liara?" Dr. Chakwas call out Liara name and check for her vital.
"What happen?" Miranda who just came in asks Dr. Chakwas in panic.
"She's unconscious. We need to check her and get her to a bed."
After two of Alliance guards lay Liara on the bed beside Shepard, Dr. Chakwas began checking the Asari. Miranda decide it was best to leave Dr. Chakwas to work alone. Before stepping out of Shepard room, Miranda check on Shepard implants and vitals one more time to make sure Shepard is alright. After 15 minutes, Liara slowly wake up to the sight of Dr. Chakwas looking back at her.
"What.. What happen?" ask Liara in a tired voice.
"Liara you need to take care of yourself especially in your condition." replied Dr. Chakwas as she takes another scan on Liara. "I already start you in an IV drip. But you really should eat."
"My condition? What did you mean?" ask a very confused Liara.
"You're pregnant Liara. Didn't you know that? I mean how can you two think of having a kid in the middle of the war? And how can Shepard think to bring you to accompany her in the mission when you're pregnant?" Dr. Chakwas replied in a yelling but caring voice.
"I'm pregnant? What? How can…. Goddess." mutter Liara as she covers her face with both of her hands.
"You didn't know?" now Dr. Chakwas feels bad. "The baby is fine and you're 3 weeks pregnant." Dr. Chakwas slowly grab Liara as she let her cry on her.
"Everything is going to be alright." whisper Dr. Chakwas to the sobbing Asari.
Shepard could feel someone is holding her right hand tightly. That warmth reminds her of Liara. Curious, Shepard tries to open her eyes. The first sight blinds her as she immediately close her eyes again by the sudden bright light. She opens her eyes for the second time as she slowly does so. She saw a blue figure on her right side and she doesn't have to see clearly to know that's Liara.
"Liara…" Shepard mutter as her left arm caress Liara right cheek. A sudden feels of someone touching her right cheek wake Liara up. As soon as she woke up, the sight of Shepard watching her send a smile in Liara lips.
"Shepard! You wake up." said Liara as she kisses Shepard lips.
"I miss you so much Liara. I love you." Shepard said as Liara break the kiss.
"I thought you die again Shepard. Goddess." Liara said as tears start streaming down her blue eyes.
"Hey. I told you I'm always coming back didn't I? Did I ever break my promise to you?" Shepard said in reassurance.
"I know. Let me get Miranda here." Liara replied as she makes her way out of the room to find Miranda. Just as she was leaving the room, Liara spot Miranda making her way to Shepard room.
"What's wrong Liara?" the former Cerberus operative asks as she saw tears in Liara face.
"Shepard wake up." that's all Liara need to say to send Miranda practically running towards Shepard room.
"So how long was I out?" ask Shepard as Miranda checking her.
"Five weeks. I was hoping you stay out for a lot longer. Your body isn't entirely recover from the injuries yet. I know if we wake you up too fast, you end up in your feet in a matter of seconds. Now that the base is not attack by rogue Mechs or there's colonies in need of help and galaxy to save, Dr. Chakwas and I agree to keep you under sedation until you fully recover. But I guess the sedation didn't work anymore." Miranda replied as she finishes checking Shepard.
"Most of your injuries are healing properly. The implants help you recover faster than any normal person. You still need to stay in bed for 2 more weeks before you can be back on your feet. Your ribs are taking more time to heal and it best not to exaggerate them more. I will leave you two alone now. I'm sure you two have a lot to talk about. And I will inform your mother that you have waked up." Miranda said as she makes her way out of the room before stopping for a brief seconds and whisper to Liara 'tell her.'
"What was that about?" ask Shepard.
"Nothing." Liara replied while giving Shepard a fake smile.
"That wasn't nothing. Hey, Liara... You can tell me anything. You know that. Or you want me to get out of this bed now and find something to do while waiting for you to tell me what's going on?" Shepard threatened as she tries to get off the bed.
"No! I will tell you." Liara was half yelling as she saw Shepard tries to get off the bed.
"Good." Shepard replied happily because her ribs were killing her as she tries to get up.
"Shepard. I… I'm pregnant." Liara said as she tries to avoid eye contact with Shepard. Shepard was dumbstruck when she heard what Liara said.
"What? How? When?" are all Shepard could mutter as the news is still a shock to her.
"I think it's through the gift I gave you before the final attack."
"You think?" Shepard asks in confusion.
"I did not plan it Shepard. Asari can still accidentally pregnant when they meld with only one bondmate for a long period of time. It can happen if both caught up in the meld. I'm sorry Shepard." explain Liara as her head still hang low.
"Come here and look at me Liara. Please." Shepard softly pleaded her bondmate. As Liara slowly do so Shepard start to talk.
"What are you sorry for Liara? I love you. You know that. You know that I wasn't joking when I told you I want to have a lot of blue babies. Did I wish it come under better circumstances? Yes. But this is a gift that I would cherish for the rest of my life. I can't wait to meet our daughter." said Shepard as she slowly placed her hand on Liara still flat stomach.
"Meld with me. I can show you." Liara ask.
"Okay." Shepard nod in agreement.
As Shepard let Liara minds get into her, she knows this is not a meld that she ever had before with Liara. She felt safe, calm, innocence and love. And then somewhere in the corner of the meld there's a tiny heartbeats that she heard.
"Is that?" Shepard asks through the meld.
"Yes. It's our daughter heartbeat. Asari can feel their daughter present one month after conceiving." explain Liara.
"It's beautiful. Can she feel us?"
"No. I shield her from our presence. It's too dangerous. But she can feel what I feel."
"And what do you feel now?"
"Happiness and love."
"Good. I love you Liara T'Soni."
"I love you too Shepard." As the meld faded, both lover kiss passionately without a worry in the world.
A/N : So another author note's ha... I just want to say that I'm experimenting here on how Liara get pregnant. Because in my mind Liara didn't go behind Shepard back to conceive like many story out there. Also because my Shepard will be so mad at Liara if she did so and my Shepard would never let Liara get anywhere near the mission if she knew. So if I go with that story, my Shepard reaction will be different than this. Hey, I told you so my Shepard is Paragade. Even though she love Liara, she still will be so mad at how Liara go behind her back. So I think that should clear things up. Oh one more thing, I am so not going to write that fluff (or whatever you guys call it) stuff. First, I didn't know how to write it and second that will be awkward to me (I just know it will be awkward for me to write it. So don't ask more). Haha. So use your imagination people. Basically my story will be clean for most part of the time if not all.
