Over the next few days, almost all of the Normandy crew had visited her. Wrex stopped by after Tali and Garrus went back to work.
The doors smashed opened, almost giving Shepard a heart attack. "Shepard." Wrex cried as he walked in.
"Wrex!?" She asked quietly, still trying to catch her breath. "Shouldn't you be on Tuchunka?"
"Was, I finally escaped from the females again, personally I think the other males are happy, it gives them a chance to mingle with them."
"So how's Bakara?"
"Same old, still trying to encourage me to go on with the females, you know I'm glad Wreav didn't become leader, he probably would start conquering the galaxy once that war ended ha." He chucked has he finished the last words. "Enough about me, I brought you something you may need if you decide to be a Spectre again, just don't make me regret it." He pulled out a small crate and handed it to Shepard as she straighten herself on the bed.
As she opened it, she saw it was a newly made prototype Krogan shotgun. "Is this what I think it is? A new version of the Claymore?"
"Better ha! Its something our brightest minds developed, its a cross between the Graal Spike thrower and the M-300 Claymore. Trust me, it packs quite a punch, especially against Cerberus units."
"Wow, Thanks Wrex!" she was checking it out, then they both noticed someone walk in. Liara stepped over the broken glass, trying not to step on them.
"Shepard, good to see you again, you as well Wrex." Wrex made a small chuckle as he looked at Shepard. "I guess I better go, I'll chat with you later Shepard." Before she could say another word, Wrex was already storming down towards the elevator.
"So Liara, what brings you here?" Shepard asked while she lowered the shotgun onto the night desk beside her. Liara grabbed the chair and pulled it over beside Shepard's bed and sat down. "I came by because I didn't know if you heard about it, its big on the news, though seeing as you don't have a TV or radio in here, I could see why you don't."
"And that is?"
"Seeing as I'm the current Shadow Broker, I know that you and Garrus are engaged before... don't ask how because I don't want to give away my clients name, but it was leaked all over the place by someone, there's even reporters outside this building, they were about to corner me until Kaiden showed up and they all piled him."
"And what does the galaxy have to say about it?" Shepard was annoyed that it got out, she knew Garrus wasn't the one who let it slip, but who was it? She thought to herself as Liara explained. "Seems like its mostly fine by most of the younger generations, though most of the ones opposing it are the older generations like from before or during the First contact war. Mostly all the Asari are fine by it, since we do have cross species relationships more often than others." Her laugh at the end of her response almost sounded like a quiet giggle.
"I can order you a TV if you wish, so you can listen in on the discussions." Liara seemed real cheerful today. "But, I forgot to mention how happy I am for you and Garrus, if there's anything you both need, let me know." She said as she stood up, bended down, and gave Jane a slight hug and walked out of the room.
When her TV arrived from Liara, Shepard began flipping through the Channels, almost every one had something to do with her or Reapers. She was so tired of hearing about them, even though she wanted to remember what happened at the beam, but it was still blurred, then she found a channel that she hasn't watched since back before she became 'the commander who saved the galaxy'. right before it got done the ads break, she got up and went for a glass of water, once she returned she laid back on her bed and relaxed.
"Welcome back to Alliance news network, I'm Glenn Rodgrig and I'm here live with the Man behind the Wheel of the SR-2 Normandy, Jeff Moreau."
As soon as she heard his name, she almost spit out the water she was drinking.
"Now Jeff, is it true that you were the person who always took Commander Shepard to all of her missions throughout the galaxy?"
"Well, you could say I technically did, but it was mostly her plotting the course to our destinations, EDI and myself just drove it."
"And tell me Jeff, what is it like being in a relationship with an AI?"
Joker turned pale and made a sort of awkward face. "No comment at this point, but we will get back to you once we have to stop the Reapers again." His sarcasm barely phased the reporter as he began to grab a few papers with questions on them.
"Now Jeff, we have a few questions from our viewers, if you don't mind reading them, it would-"
"Sure sure, as long as it doesn't involve me or EDI."
"Alright then..." he threw a full piece of paper off screen as he began to speak. "This question comes from Alexis in Wisconsin, and she asks what is it like working with Commander Shepard?
"Well it was rather fun, only if being blown to bits counts. We nearly lost everyone when we went after the Collectors through the Omega 4 Relay-"
The interview continued for about 15 more minutes, and what seemed like loads of questions. "Well, Jeff, thank you for being on ANN with us."
"The pleasure is mine, oh and do you have any grape soda in that freezer over by that cute blond?" Jane couldn't help herself, she laughed so much that she heard a man from the next room in the medical center yell at her. This was the first time since before the Reaper invasion that she was able to truly enjoy herself.
Author's notes: Well, it is time to end that chapter. Hoped you enjoyed it.
It was rather difficult doing the Wrex conversation, so if it seems kind of rushed i'm sorry. Next chapter will have Garrus, Tali, and possibly Sol.
