Let Yourself Go.

The next week was rather silent; the Normandy spent the time orbiting another uncivilised planet. They had left the Arlakh system quickly, the loss of such a beloved crew member, combined with thousands of prayers for Wrex to find peace in the afterlife were too much for Georgia to handle at once, so they had jumped through the relay and found another lifeless system.

"Geo?" Orianna said, breaking the silence that had surrounded Georgia in her cabin, she was sitting on the bed, looking at an old image of the first Normandy, remembering her glory days hunting down the bastard Saren, with Kaidan before Virmire, and Wrex on the Citadel, both were gone now, with many others she'd cared about. "Geo, are you alright?" Orianna asked, sitting beside her.

"Oh god it's spreading" Georgia groaned.

"What is?" Orianna asked.

"That nickname!" Georgia chuckled, "Never really liked it to be honest." Memories of her mother using it to scald her flashed into her mind, and tears trickled down her cheeks.

"What? It's cute" Orianna said defensively.

"Mom used to scald me with it every time I got in trouble" Georgia retorted, her eyes still fixed on the image.

"Is there much trouble to get into, growing up on Alliance ships?" Orianna asked, curious about the possibility.

"Quite a bit, except there's a higher risk of causing life or death situations," Georgia said, reminiscing about her childhood. "Hit the wrong button, pull a wire or enter the wrong room and someone could die, or something could go wrong with part of, or the entire ship."

"Maybe we ought to take precautions with the Normandy then" Orianna smiled, and Georgia was momentarily caught off-guard.

"What? Oh right, me and Miranda's" Georgia said remembering, "thought you were talking about me." The two laughed before Orianna spoke.

"You forgot your about to have a child with your wife?" Orianna said raising an eye brow.

"Had a lot on my mind" Georgia said looking back at the image. "My impending goddess-hood, Wrex's death, ive completely forgotten 'bout Miranda." Ori snatched the frame and threw it on to the couch, away from Georgia.

"How are the voices?" Orianna asked, making Georgia look her in the eyes. "Are Samara's meditation suggestions helping?" Georgia's mind remembered the sex between her and Samara, and how incredible it was without embracing eternity.

"It's worked thus far, but the voices are growing in number and volume, no matter where we are" Georgia said. "I've answered some of them, the more persistent ones at least." Orianna looked confused.

"And this hasn't triggered the final 'wish'?" She asked, her eyes looking at her sister with a mixture of concern and fear.

"Bizarrely, no" Georgia said, coming to the realisation. "But the prayers weren't exactly taxing, mostly giving people confidence to do one thing or another, no changing someone's life or more 'godly' blessings."

"Is it helping?" Orianna pressed, concerned for her sister-in-law.

"Seems to be, the answered prayers no longer harass my mind, but there are more that would require making the final 'wish' as I can see it" Georgia said, lying on her bed and staring into space.

"Well be careful, I don't want your goddess responsibilities get in the way of your family duties" Orianna said like a doting mother.

"Okay, now you sound like Hannah" Georgia chuckled, "I won't forget Miranda, how can I, she's my one true love. The one I have to thank for bringing me back to life, twice." Orianna laughed.

"Touché, but you're not talking about fighting a war; you're becoming THE goddess of the galaxy, a lot more responsibilities to consider." Orianna said, Georgia grabbed a pillow and hit her around the head. "what was that for?"

"Stop sounding like my mother!" Georgia laughed, as Orianna grabbed another pillow and hit back, the situation quickly deteriorated into a pillow fight until Georgia came out on top, pinning Orianna against the bed, with both pillows.

"I yield, I yield!" Orianna giggled. "I'll stop mothering you." She squirmed out from under Georgia's firm hold and stood up beside the bed. "But don't ignore what I've said, I don't want you to neglect Miri, she's waited to long for the perfect life you've given her, don't spoil it now." Georgia smiled at the heart-warming thought.

"I know Ori," she smiled as Orianna walked to the door, "and that's more like being a sister-in-law than a mother!"

"Don't forget to clean your teeth before bed" Orianna chided, Georgia threw a pillow at her and she skilfully dodged it and skipped out the door. Georgia snarled as the door closed before lying back on the bed, memories flooding her mind, chasing away the pesky prayers. Memories of the first Normandy, of her work against the Collectors and then the Reapers, and most of all, memories of her moments with Miranda.

From the first time she saw Miranda, waking early from her resurrection work and glimpsing her in her old skin-tight white and black Cerberus suit, Georgia had fallen for her, as she suspected many had before her. Then their first face-to-face confrontation, where the situation hadn't been the warmest, but she learnt about the woman she would one day marry; her strong backbone, her no-nonsense attitude and her ability to charm people with words, had her longing for her.

Then she had learnt about her past, about her war against her father, against his egotistical desire to leave a 'legacy' through his genetically engineered daughters. Then she helped Miranda rescue her sister, and that was pretty much the final key to the beginning of their relationship, they had bonded on Illium, and from that, they really bonded in the Normandy engine room, sealing their relationship permanently. But something had secretly made her try and connect with Samara, she still wasn't sure why, but she had tried, and thankfully Samara shot her down and kept it a secret to protect Georgia and Miranda's relationship from falling apart in the early stages.

Then there was the old flame of Liara, who was happy that she was alive again, but had also moved on. Then her and Miranda parted ways, with Georgia turning herself and the Normandy over to the Alliance, and Miranda continuing to oppose her father, and Cerberus, from the shadows. When they met again on the old Citadel, it took every ounce of control for her not to press Miranda against the wall, and kiss her through it, she had missed her so much during their separation. But her diligence paid off, as their next face to face meeting had a steamy ending, though it was inevitable considering how much they loved and respected their other half.

After dealing with the renegade clone of herself, Miranda and herself met again in her apartment, first as a simple drink together, then at the party with the crew and finally with their first real date at the Casino. She wore her finest naval suit, Miranda wore a stunning red dress that accentuated her figure perfectly, making it difficult for Georgia not to hold her girlfriend close as they played roulette. That evening ended with Miranda winning several thousand credits, which she donated to the refugee cause and another intimate night together, after which neither wanted to leave the other again.

Georgia took down Cerberus once and for all and they both took part in the fight to reclaim Earth, Georgia spear-heading the main assault and Miranda running her own campaign in London as well. They both said their good-byes via a QEC, both saying they'd survive but bracing for the end as well. Georgia activated the Crucible and sparked the synthesis between organics and synthetics, wanting to save Miranda from death, not knowing she'd see her again. And she did, Miranda brought her back again, though there were parts of her gone, she was glad to be back with Miranda again, no matter the changes to her physically.

The rest was fairly simple and obvious to her now, once they were back together, nothing would separate them for long, and they fought side-by-side against Harbinger and the pirates, with their wedding being the celebratory end to a long, drawn-out relationship, and Miranda getting pregnant was more than either of them could have hoped for. But, a relationship forged by distance will keep its shape, and Miri decided a period of separation would test their relationship, looking back it made no sense to her now, as they had waited for well over a year, with few face to face meetings, and they were still together, three months was nothing.

'At least it's less than two weeks until I see her again' Georgia thought as she stood up and went to the toilet, her mind now fixed on Miranda, their relationship and their unborn child, with no whispers distracting her. 'Huh, guess she is the one for me, if she shuts the voices up like this' she smiled, before relieving herself.
