Drabbles mostly due to the ME Challenge LJ group. I've started posting groups of new drabbles in one chapter. Drabbles with Mass Effect 3 spoilers will have their own chapter with the presence of spoilers noted in the chapter and the chapter title.

Jacob rolled onto the side, supporting his head with one hand, and watched the woman sleeping next to him. He traced the dried tear tracks with one finger. She stirred and looked at him with sleepy eyes. "Jacob?"

I can be the man she deserves. I have to be. "Morning, Miranda."

"You're still here?"

"Where else would I be? You really thought I would leave over that? You're not the only woman who can't have children. You won't be the last." His finger on her lips forestalled her protests. "Plenty of people are happy without children. If you really want them, there are other options. Adoption, for one. We can be foster parents. Surrogacy. I know Oriana would do anything for you. Miranda, we'll do whatever you want and I'm not going anywhere."
