PLZ REVIEW AND ENJOY

I DON'T OWN BIOWARE OR ANY OF THERE STUFF


Garrus charged forward as he concussion shocked a security mech. "I'm surprised there's few men on this ship." Jacob said through the radio, biotically lifting the crates out of the way. Garrus and Legion popped out and shot the floating men, hearing them scream from the pain. "How many people are aboard Legion?" Garrus asked as more mechs came down from the stairs. "Approximately 12 men with 10 synthetics among them. Detecting 3 body heats on the last floor." Legion said with his monotone. "Go, go, go!" Garrus yelled charging up the stairs, jabbing the mechs as he passed by. Jacob threw them against the wall with his biotic, hearing them self-destruct. Seeing Cerberus crew scramble to hide, Garrus chuckled as he covered against the wall, crouching out of view. "I doubt The Illusive Man is here, these men don't seem too experienced." Garrus admitted. "This is the smallest base, it might be possible he is here. Jack took the big base, The Illusive Man wouldn't be dumb to go there it's a typical thought that he'd really be hiding there." Jacob said.

"I will destroy you!" they heard a woman yell, seeing the crates before them lift up in the air. Jacob crouched under the crates and shot at the legs, lifting them up with his biotics. "Take out those hostiles!" Garrus yelled as Legion popped out his sniper, shooting down the Cerberus crew one by one. "Ah hell, heavy mech!" Jacob yelled, seeing as the heavy mech made a hard thud sound. Upon activation Garrus began to overload it, Jacob immediately shot out to it. "Hurry and take it out!" Garrus yelled, overloading it again.

Miranda popped out of the elevator and saw the CIC completely empty. "Where is everyone?" Miranda asked as she carried Shepard over her shoulder. "Having a feast in the mess hall. Joker is also there so you are alone." EDI told her. Miranda walked quickly over to the airlock, feeling Shepard stir on her shoulder. Once she opened it, she slid Shepard down on her butt, seeing her slump forward. Miranda crouched down in front of her and frowned at the sight, unsure of what to do. Shepard's eyes slowly slid open and stared straight at her. "I know you're mad…" Miranda stated. "I understand if I had a sister the thought would have came to me." Shepard told her as she rubbed the back of her neck. "I am glad you are awake, I want us to talk. This is the only part of the ship without any surveillance." Miranda offered. Shepard eyed her curiously. "For a minute there I was worried I'd have to hurt you. What did you have in mind?"

At the first Cerberus base, Jack laughed in victory as she reached the top floor. Tali glanced over to Thane, "He isn't here, what should we do?" she asked. "We blow the place." Jack sneered happily, walking over to the counsel in the middle. "We should check the other ships before we do that don't you think?" Thane asked. Jack sighed, "You're no fun for an assassin." She muttered as she opened her radio comm. "This is Jack to Samara, what's your position?" she asked, looking impatiently to Thane. "We have just cleared a path, it seems The Illusive Man is not here. How is it at your end?" Samara asked. "He isn't here either. It seems Garrus got lucky after all, lucky turian." She said as she walked over to the stairs. "Garrus do you copy?" Tali asked sounding anxious. "Yeah, I heard you. We just need to take out a heavy mech and we will meet up with him." Garrus told Tali. "Joker!" Jack yelled through the radio. "Yeah?" Joker responded. "Come get us would you?" Jack asked him. "On my way." He responded.

Garrus shot at the heavy mech, Legion closing in on it. He overloaded the heavy mech, charging next to Legion's position as Jacob covered his flank. "Overload it one more time and we can finally take it out!" Jacob yelled as he threw up a barrier. Legion turned on his geth shield as Garrus popped out from his position. Once he overloaded it, the squad popped out and shot nonstop at the heavy mech. The heavy mech immediately stopped and dropped his head lifelessly, hearing a beep coming from him. "Oh crap, cover!" Garrus yelled, making the men jumping into cover. The heavy mech self destructed, sending pieces of itself everywhere around them. Garrus looked around in his scope, scanning the room. "Area secure, let's meet The Illusive Man." He spoke coldly, walking up in front of the squad. Jacob looked around the room before he looked to Garrus. "Garrus, something feels different." He said as Garrus and Legion walked up the steps. "I'm sure it's nothing." Garrus spoke as he decrypted the door lock. As the door opened, four rifles were aimed at the men. Garrus growled as the four Cerberus crew pushed them in front. One of the brunette men threw Jacob to the ground, aiming the pistol at his head.

"Now now, let Mr. Taylor go." The familiar voice rang through the room. Jacob quickly stood up as he gave a death glare to the brunette, with Garrus standing in front of the man his sniper on the ground along with Legion's. "My apologizes but you can't just storm into the base killing everyone in sight." The Illusive Man said, taking another puff from his cigarette. "Spare the damn pleasantries, why are you after Shepard?" Garrus snarled. "She is no longer of value to me. She screwed up her purpose. If the Reapers are the true threat we need to learn more about them and she is making it impossible. Cerberus needs their technology; Cerberus alone could eliminate the threat. If it costs a few lives…so be it." The Illusive Man explained, crossing his legs. "To hell with Cerberus, she's the only one who can end this threat. Cerberus will nothing more than terrorists." Jacob sneered at him. "You will never get her." Garrus spoke. The Illusive Man laughed, tapping the ashes off the cigarette. "What makes you think I don't already have her?"

The door hissed open behind The Illusive Man and both Garrus and Jacob's eyes widened at the sight. Miranda walked into the room with Shepard in front of her, with a pistol aimed at her temple. "Ah, I'm so glad you joined us." The Illusive Man spoke as he stood walking over to Miranda and Shepard. Miranda wrapped an arm around Shepard's shoulder, pushing her closer to her own body; pressing the pistol hard against Shepard's temple as she twisted Shepard's arm behind her back. "Where is Orianna?" Miranda demanded, narrowing her eyes at him. The Illusive Man snapped his fingers together, hearing the door hiss open with a Cerberus crewmember walking out with Orianna in front of her. "W-What's going on?" Orianna asked softly, seeing the group in front of her. "How could you Miranda?" Jacob asked, ignoring the glare from Orianna. "He was going to kill her, I didn't have a choice!" Miranda yelled, fighting her emotions. "Crista…are you okay?" Garrus asked, his eyes softening. She gave him a small smile, "I've been through worse, none come to mind at the moment though." Shepard said.

"Ah yes, congratulations are in order. I nearly forgot." The Illusive Man said as he placed a hand on Shepard's stomach, hearing Garrus snarl at him. "Maybe I'll keep you alive until they are born. Super soldiers from Shepard herself since you failed to do your part." He said. Shepard grunted, "I'll never let you have them." She said, wrapping her free arm protectively around her stomach. "You won't be able to stop me Shepard. You or the turian." The Illusive Man threatened. "You sick son of a bitch." Jacob spat. Legion suddenly crashed to the floor, being quickly dragged to the side. "What the hell did you do?" Shepard asked, worried. "I had him overloaded. He'll be useful as something else." The Illusive Man answered, taking a puff from the cigarette. He took her arm and twisted it behind her as he pushed Miranda to Orianna, immediately hugging her. The Illusive Man then put the gun back at her head, seeing as Garrus was trying to advance to him. "Hold them down while Shepard and I leave." He said as he backed up to the door.

Miranda pushed Orianna behind her, "Now!" Shepard yanked herself out The Illusive Man's arms and threw herself to the floor. "Damn it!" he yelled, shooting at Shepard. Garrus was slammed to the ground with Jacob next to him, watching in horror. "Shepard!" he yelled. Miranda lifted him up in the air with her biotics, "Now Shepard!" she yelled. Shepard nodded and took out a pistol from her jacket, shooting numerous of times until The Illusive Man fell to the ground. He laughed as he stood up, "That's it?" Garrus pushed the puny off of him, spinning around on the ground as he kicked the human off Jacob. "Overload, he's part synthetic!" Jacob yelled. Garrus and Miranda immediately overloaded him as Jacob slammed him into the ground. As The Illusive Man stood back up, Shepard biotically charged at him, knocking him back to the ground.

"Shotgun!" she yelled to Miranda. Miranda threw at her, seeing as the Illusive Man slowly rose back up. Shepard grunted and shot at him, seeing him fall lifelessly. She saw his hand twitch and continued to shoot repeatedly at him. Garrus walked over to her and put a hand on her shoulder, causing her to stop. He kicked The Illusive Man over, seeing his eyes flickering. Garrus took the shotgun and aimed it at his head. "Fuck you." He spat and shot him in the face, his eyes lifeless. Orianna cried in Miranda's shoulder, traumatized from the event as Jacob turned Legion back on, the Cerberus crew gone. Shepard hissed as she cupped her right ribcage, Garrus immediately holding her up. "What's wrong?" he asked. She looked up at him and held her hand up to him…covered in blood. "Oh Spirits," he whispered. "Get Joker here, now!" he roared, Shepard sliding the ground on her knees. "Shepard, don't move." Miranda spoke, scanning her body with her omni-tool. "The children…" Shepard said, looking to her. "I can't tell. Tell Dr. Chakwas and Mordin to meet us at the Med Bay and be ready for us!"

As Jacob radioed the ship, Garrus held Crista close to him, "Why do I have to be the one injured all the time? It's a new record." Shepard joked. "Damn it Shepard now is not the time to joke. I told you not to come!" He yelled at her. "I'm sorry" Miranda spoke "it was my fault. They had Orianna; this was last minute. I didn't want her involved just as much as you." Garrus grunted, "I'll have your life if something happens to the children!" he threatened. "Please…this isn't helping-" Shepard knocked out in Garrus's arm. "Shepard!" he panicked. Jacob sat in front of them as Legion watched them. "She's losing a lot of blood." Jacob said, putting pressure on her injury. "Damn it, we need to go!" Garrus grunted, lifting her up as he sped to the stairs. Orianna and the others followed him down the steps, Garrus rushing to the airlock. "Where the hell are you Joker!" he yelled through the radio. "Just got here, the doctor and the professor are ready." He said. As the Normandy door opened, Garrus sprinted through the CIC to the elevator, ignoring the glares and the screaming from Miranda. "Hurry up!" he yelled as he pressed the elevator button, seeing everyone but Legion join them.

The moment the door closed, Miranda ripped off Shepard's jacket and pressed it against the wound, ignoring the blood drops on the floor. The door hissed open and they rushed to the medical bay, Dr Chakwas already removing Shepard's top. "Place her down." Chakwas demanded, activating the window covers around the med bay. The moment he put her down, Miranda pushed Orianna and Garrus out. Garrus grunted as he heard the door lock. Resting his forehead against the door, Orianna smiled at him. "Shepard will be fine, you'll see." She assured him.

Hours had passed and he leaned against the wall, determined to enter the bay the moment that door opened. He was scared; for once in his life he was scared. Crista Shepard was injured yet again, after all his attempts to keep her safe only to be double-crossed by Miranda. He had proposed to her only hours ago, determined to be a good husband and father. He was even more concerned by his unborn children. She was petite and still in her first trimester of pregnancy. She was tough, but he didn't want to lose her or the babies. He heard the door hiss open and looked up to see Miranda looking at him with concern in her eyes. "How is she?" he asked.

She frowned, "She's stable. We stopped the bleeding and took out the bullet. Her bottom rib is broken though." She told him. "And the twins?" he asked. She looked away from him, hiding her eyes. "The turian baby is fine, but…the human baby is under heavy stress. She is still unconscious but we are going to have to keep her asleep for the next few days and observe her." She said softly. He narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean heavy stress?" he asked. She looked at him, "The embryonic sacks is right under rib cage. The broken rib is putting pressure on the human embryonic sack. We managed to put the rib back but it's still putting lots of stress on the sack. We have to keep her asleep for the next few days until she fully heals. It's the only way to keep the baby safe." She explained to him.

He nodded and lowered his head, feeling helpless. "Can I see her now?" he asked. She nodded as she gave me a sad smile, opening the door for him. He slowly walked in, hearing the window covers rise up as Dr. Chakwas walked to him. "Miranda told me." He said, seeing her concerned face. She nodded. "I'll give you two time. She already took her meds so just call me if you need anything." She said, walking out. He saw Mordin leave after her, taking Chakwas seat and sat next to Shepard. She lay there with medical straps, an IV on her wrist. He took her hand in his, caressing her soft warm hand as she slept. "I failed you. Spirits please help her: I can't be without her. She's all I got left in this galaxy." He whispered, watching her as she slept. She looked angelic as she slept, as if nothing ever happened her. She managed to survive everything even in impossible odds, but he'd never forgive himself if he lost the baby. He rested his head gently on her bandaged stomach, on her uninjured side of her stomach. He'd stay by her side no matter how long it took for her to awake.
