Dev hands the child off to the elder Vakarian before bringing the back of the bed up to a reclined sitting position then nods for Garrus to hand off the other child to Miranda.
"Come on Garrus, you're going to have to help her with this, you can either sit behind her or put her in your lap. Lose the armor they need to smell you as well.
"This can be experienced by Shepard Commander as well, if you would allow us."
Everyone had forgotten the ever present Prime that had saved the woman they all loved.
Everyone in the room nods, as Garrus finally settles himself behind her resting her against his chest, as the prime connects the two of them into the consensus.
"How does this work?" Dev asks the seven foot machine.
"The unconscious mind is always working, once in our consensus she will experience this moment as it is happening. She will not be harmed, she has experienced this several times. Our consensus agrees that this will assist in the healing process perhaps enable…"
Dev gives a jerk on his head, he doesn't need the semantics, "Okay, then can I…"
The Prime gives a very human nod that rocks the large headlamp that is his head, "Acknowledged."
Garrus tactfully places his son to his mother's breast just as he's drawn into the consensus.
Eyes silvered with tears are staring up at his; "I'm sorry," she says over and over again.
"There's nothing to be sorry for. I understand why you didn't say anything," he says as she shakes her head.
"No Garrus you don't. I didn't tell you because I was afraid. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to follow orders if I told you. I didn't think I'd be able to keep moving if I actually acknowledged that I had something else to live for."
He kisses her; "This is not living, you're hiding and I've never seen you hide from anything. I've watched you rush headlong into a fight, into husks, scions even a Reaper's fire, yet you hide here; from an actual life with me. With us."
"I'm not hiding. There is something I forgot before the explosion…something that was said but soon Garrus. I promise you, this will be over soon. Don't ask me how I know, just trust me," she asks.
A sharp tug at her breast draws her attention, "He bit me."
Garrus laughs then his voice goes soft, "Looks human but definitely Turian, he's beautiful. Thank you"
He draws a finger over the tiny sharp brows that match the arch of his own brow plates, the bone structure beneath the chubby cheeks as sharp as his own can be in a human.
He wraps his arms around both of them, trilling and cooing as the infant falls asleep at his mother's breast.
For an instant her arms are empty then full again as their daughter goes to her other breast, her strangely silver gilded blue eyes staring up at both of them.
"Just so you are aware of what we're getting into, her eyes have been open since her birth," he says as his fingers go to cheeks that pull strongly, quickly emptying the first breast and then completing the job for her brother on the second.
She burps loudly as her eyes close when she goes to sleep.
"Your father thought the name Talon would suit her. I think it fits. My father suggests Stelios for our son," he watches her with his mandibles tight to his face.
"Talon Vakarian, Stelios Vakarian…," she shakes her head, Talon Angel Vakarian and Stelios … what is your father's name?"
"Emrys…why?" He nuzzles her neck, crooning to her as they both run their fingers through the curls covering the child's head.
"What do you think of Stelios Emrys Vakarian and Talon Solana Vakarian?" her hand goes to his fringe holding him there.
"You think the Geth can find a way for us to, well you know?" he rumbles against her skin.
"Six weeks, Garrus, you have to give me at least six weeks," she moans when he swirls his tongue over her neck.
"Here in the consensus, do you think we have to worry about that?" He sets his teeth into the skin of her shoulder.
"Asks the Turian who knocked me up with twins when me getting pregnant in the first place should not have happened at all and you do realize that what you do here in the consensus is exactly what they see out there. So who's waiting for you once you get out of my head?" Her head drops back onto his chest.
"I don't really fucking care right now Shepard," is his growling reply.
"Well Garrus unless that's a Mantis at my back, when you move you're going to piss my father off when he realizes that I've actually had all of that," she laughs beneath his mouth.
"Okay, okay, I'm going now but I'll be here. You know I've got your six, Shepard and theirs." He pulls her tight in his arms and opens his eyes to the others waiting in the room.
He gives her one long look, to find her smiling and to his surprise there's a blush coloring her cheeks as if she can see him.
She's been hooked her up to the electrodes that work her muscles during his visit as well as the passive range of motion devices.
Ready to see your girl?" Garrus asks Dev as he holds her gently to him when he leaves the bed, when he places her back in the bed, everyone can tell it's with practiced moves designed not to disturb the machinery she's hooked up to.
