Just Need Someone: Reason to Save All

Chapter 7

==Normandy, 2 Days Later=

Aura and Samara together finally boarded the Normandy as the last of the destroyed Reapers had been cleaned up and disposed with into an area that later could be sorted and destroyed properly.

The crew was naturally happy to be alive, and see their Commander in seemingly good spirits considering how she had been before. As the pair rounded the CIC area Javik came upon them.

"..Shepard, I must speak with you." He said with his direct way of speaking.

"..Sure Javik what is it?" Aura asked.

"..Now that the Reapers are destroyed I find myself at a loss of what to do with my life. My sole remaining purpose has ended in this cycle." He said obviously seeking advice on what next to do with himself.

Aura considered all she had learned of the single minded solider in their travels. Her first suggestion was to have him work with Liara on a biography on the Prothean Empire. But then realizing how the truth of how they were might be seen decided it was not such a wise one. Her next thought was for him to work in rebuilding Earth but then pushed that too aside as it was not his home world. Then she recalled his promise to Liara that her species was such a strong hope in the galaxy. "..Why not work with the asari government in rebuilding projects?" She suggested.

Javik considered this for a long moment then nodded. "..A wise enough for now course of action Shepard, thank you." He said striding off.

Samara looked to Aura, "..Why did you not suggest he aide in rebuilding Earth?" The Justicar asked.

"..Thessia needs his aide now more then my own." Aura replied.

Samara smiled slightly, "..I am glad we met under such circumstances after your hunt for Saren. Your selfless ways of doing things and honorable and just way towards life is inspiring to see." Samara said leaving unsaid the part of her not having to then kill Aura for her misdeeds back early on then.

Aura smiled despite knowing this and followed the, to her, shapely form of the Justicar to the elevator and then into her quarters. The pair had finally been released a few moments ago to go on their own ways and had decided to return to what comforts the Normandy offered. In that time since their bonding and their release from the hospital, Samara had been quieter then her usual self.

Aura served them both their favored asari blend of tea and sat down with the quiet Justicar. "..Something on your mind Samara?" Aura asked curiously.

"..I was curious what you plan to do with your life now that the Reapers are destroyed and if you are still interested in our promises to each other?" Samara asked looking to the human woman intently.

Aura answered the second part without a moments consideration, "..Of course I am still interested in our promises to each other. Without them I do not think we could have come as far as we had, or done the things we had without the other." Aura replied.

"..While part of me wishes to disagree with you another knows you are correct." Samara said. "..Still what do you intend to do with your life now, especially with us together now in it?" She asked.

Aura considered this, "..I am not fully sure to be honest. I suppose given the situation I will help however I can." She replied taking Samara's hands with her own, "..Whatever it is I want it to be with us….together." She said with a warm smile.

"..I am quite glad to hear those words Aura, for the news I bring is not an something I had looked forward to doing alone especially at my late age." Samara said.

Aura tilted her head curious now what she meant her mind swimming with possible thoughts but was unsure it was proper to voice them before the asari. "..I am with child Aura...twins to be precise." Samara finally said with one of her rare smiles.

Aura's eyes went wide while this was something that had crossed her mind given the bonding the hours before the final charge, the idea of twins surprised her, "..I..is that not something that is rare among asari?" She asked gathering her thoughts.

"..Yes, even more so then among humans if my research is correct." Samara replied "..Does this change your thoughts of where we continue from here?" she asked.

"..No! Of course not, this is great news! It proves that all the struggles we have gone through, that I have gone through, that everyone has was worth it for this reason!" She said joyfully kissing the asari Justicar then when both came up for air laid their heads on the others shoulder "..Mmm so worth it." Aura said then as they moved to the small cabin's bed to solidify their words and promises in something far more deeper then they could be vocally expressed for all Eternity.
