"AHHH, HELP ME!" a man's voice reached her ear. Shepard looked out to see a private being pulled in the ground. "Hold on!" she yelled, jolting towards, as his body was halfway in the ground, she leaped forward to him and caught his arms, holding on to each other in the matter of life and death. "Lieutenant Shepard, what the hell is going on?" she looked behind to see her commander glaring at her. "Something's got him, help me!" she yelled. As a squad of soldiers came around her to help, two thresher maws appeared out of the ground, screeching painfully loud. "Fall back, I repeat fall back!" the commander yelled as the soldiers hid behind the crates around them. Shepard never let go though, determined to get him out. "Go, get out of here!" he coughed out, seeing blood come out of his mouth. "No way private, I'll get you out!" she yelled, attempting to pull him out. "AH! Stop! It hurts!" he cried out, coughing out more blood. "A thresher maw has me. Please just let me go! It'll be a quick death." He said. Shepard bit her lip, trying not to cry. "I'm so sorry." She whispered to him, finally letting him go. As he quickly sunk into the ground, she ran next to her commander and looked up past the crate to see two thresher maws looking around. "We need to contact the Alliance, I don't know how long we can last out here!" she yelled as the two thresher maws popped out. "Cover!" the commander yelled, as the thresher maws spit flew at them. Shepard covered her head and hit the floor, looking around to see her company. A loud woman's voice filled her ears and looked to see her friend melting in front of her.
"Shepard!" she looked past her to see Toombs, being pulled by one of the thresher maws tentacle. "Toombs!" she yelled, going after him, but he and the thresher maw were quickly under ground, leaving but one thresher maw. She looked about to see few squad members left, hiding behind the colonies homes. "Fall back in lieutenant!" she heard the commanders voice reached her and she hid next to him. "We contacted the Alliance, they're on their way but closest Alliance vessel is about half a day away. We're stuck here till morning." He told her. "Damn it!" she cussed, as the thresher maws crept closer to them.
Hours passed and only her and her commander were left. The sky above them turned brighter, sensing a near by sun finally rising up. "Any time now." The commander said as he finished patching through with the Alliance. Shepard sighed, "48 people gone…" she whispered, not seeing any thresher maws around. He nodded slowly, "We will honor their memory but stay focused, we're almost out of here." He tried reassuring her. She nodded and smiled sadly at him. "I'm trying." She admitted. "Me too." He muttered, looking out in the plain. "Okay, the landing zone is just across that plain, at the port. You going to be ready for a sprint?" he asked. She shook her head. "No, but whoever gets there first pays for dinner." She joked. He looked at her again, "We might die and you're joking right now?" he spat. She nodded, "Trying to brighten it up, sorry." She said, crouching in front of him as she looked out too. They both looked out to see the Alliance ship land, with troops running out with guns, looking around for thresher maws. "Okay, go!" he yelled as he ran out. She took a deep breath and ran off next to him. Hearing thresher shrieks, Shepard tried her hardest not to cover her head and kept running. Feeling a burn, she felt as if her helmet turned on fire. "Acid!" she heard her commander yelled.
As she continued running, she clicked off her helmet and threw it off, not caring if she was more vulnerable. "AHHH!" Shepard looked to she her commander grabbed by three tentacles and being dragged. "No!" she yelled and popped out her pistol shooting them off. "Just go, Crista! Go!" she shook her head as she shot at the returning tentacles. "I'm not leaving you!" she yelled as she attempted to pull him off the grounded. Suddenly, they were both grabbed by tentacles, and thrown up in the air. Seeing the thresher maw open its mouth for her, she curled into a ball and embraced for the worse, when she heard it shriek and fall to the ground, dead. "Get the lieutenant!" she heard an unfamiliar voice say, but looked for her commander. "Commander!" she yelled, glancing around. She felt arms being wrapped around her and pulled into the airship, "No, wait, the Commander!" she yelled. "It's too late, he's…gone!" the man told her. She shook violently in the man's arms and began crying uncontrollably. "Head to the Alliance headquarters." The man rang out, letting her go. Shepard looked out the window and continued crying. "NO!" she pounded, falling to her knees.
"NO!" she shot up from her bead, panting and sweating heavily. She looked around and saw that she was in her cabin, alone and crying. She rubbed her forehead and wiped her tears as she looked at her clock. 4:30 am. "Are you alright, Shepard?" EDI's voiced asked her. Crista sighed, trying to fighting back her cry sniffles, "Yes, I'm sorry. Bad dreams." Was all Crista could say. "Would you like me to call Dr. Chakwas or Mordin to examine you?" EDI asked concerned. "N-No I'm fine. Is Sergeant Gardner up?" she asked as she saw her cold food on the end table. "Yes Shepard, he is currently preparing breakfast." EDI answered. "Oh good, thank you EDI, I'll be fine." She said. "Logging you out Shepard." EDI said, logging out. Walking into the elevator she sighed, awaiting to enter the mess hall. Once the elevator opened, she smelled something sweet being made. Feeling her stomach grumble she walked over to the mess hall to see Gardner standing their putting chocolate chip cookies on the counter. "Shepard, I'm surprised you're already up, do you need anything?" he asked as he leaned back against the counter. She smiled, "I'm sorry, I fell asleep before I got to taste your gumbo, do you have any food I can eat?" she asked as she took a cookie. He chuckled, "Of course, let me make you an omlette!" he rejoiced turning to the fridge. Smiling, she walked over to the table and sat there, eating the cookie. "You should be nutritional foods." Looking up, she saw Thane sit down across her.
"What are you doing up?" she asked curiously. "Couldn't sleep, you should be resting." He informed her. She smiled, "Bad dreams." She admitted. "What about?" he asked. "Past." She muttered, remembering the dream. "Here you go!" he said as he put down the omlette in front of her. "You're the best Gardner." She said happily. He smiled proudly, "Let me know if you need anything else." He said, leaving the two alone. "I am always here to listen siha, if you wish to talk to someone." He told her. She smiled and nodded, "I know, thank you." She whispered, poking at her food. "Shepard, I hate to bug you" Joker's voice rang "but umm…Alenko is outside on the dock." She sighed taking a big bite of the food. "I'll be right out there." She said to Joker and stood. "The father?" Thane asked. She nodded, "Yeah, I'll be right back." She said and left to the elevator.
**DOCKING AREA**
Kaidan paced outside the ship, pondering. He had to know what was going on, the thoughts were eating him away; he just couldn't sleep without knowing. Hearing the ship airlock close, he looked to see Shepard and in new clothes. She had her top slightly like Tali's, wore a chocolate brown long sleeve blouse, with black buckles that went along under breast, with light brown curvy lines all around it, and black pants that tightly clung onto her legs, with regular combat boots. "Kaidan, what are you doing here? It's 5am." She asked, walking to him. He rubbed his neck and smiled, "Yeah, I'm sorry. Just a lot is on my mind. I wanted to talk before you left." He told her. She nodded and crossed her arms. "Sure, take your time." She said calmly. He sighed softly and paced in front of her again. "I need to know what's going on? I-I can't sleep, I'm worried something is wrong." He admitted. She nodded and leaned against the railing near the ship, "It will interfere with you and your girlfriend's life." She told him. He chuckled, "I haven't been dating Rachel for the past 2 weeks. It's hard to avoid her, she's just…horrible. I get stomach aches whenever I eat her food." He told her. She couldn't help but chuckle. "I guess you should know, you're half the reason I'm this way." She accepted.
"Me? What is it?" he asked. "Do you remember what I told you, before Rachel came?" she asked. He nodded, "Something that happened with us two years ago, the morning you had died." He reminded her. She sighed and closed her eyes. "Kaidan, I'm pregnant with your baby." She said bluntly. He was stunned, literally. It took him a few seconds before he whispered, "How?" She laughed, "Sex, you know. Man sperm, woman's womb, her egg." She joked. "Why didn't you tell me…on Horizon?" he asked. She looked up at him. "I didn't know. Cerberus didn't even know. I found out just this morning, right before Garrus found out." She told him. He walked up to her and grinned. "Can I…?" she smiled and nodded. He softly placed his hand on her stomach. "A baby." He glowed. "I wanted you to know Kaidan" she started "Cerberus is after us." He shot up a look at her. "What?" Shepard sighed, "I pissed off Cerberus. They wanted the ship that stole those colonies, but I destroyed it. It's not just Cerberus, Shadow Broker might be after me and the Collector's do too." She said. "You can't just…wait until the baby's born?" he asked.
"I wish I could, but I need to eliminate them. If I wait, the Reapers will come thanks to them and I don't want the baby born with enemies after her." She said. "Then let me come with you." He told her. "You can't. If something happens to me and the baby is born, you need to take the baby and protect them. If something happens to us both, then what?" she reminded him. "That's my baby too, let me protect you both! You can't just lay this on me and expect me to just agree! I-I want to be there when it's born, when it starts kicking, I have rights just as you on this decision." She hated to admit it, but he was right. It was first child and it might be there only chance to have one. "I need to think on this. I'm not saying no, but please…give me till afternoon." She asked of him. He nodded, "Please, just think on this" He insisted "I'll be at the bar in the Embassies."
Watching him leave, she sighed heavily as she rubbed her slightly lump tummy. "What should I do?" she asked herself.
I'm sorry it's short but its hard to work on this, I might make this into a Kaidan fanfic after all, with the tie and all.
