Last of the American Girls.
Georgia was stunned, in the space of ten minutes, she had lost Garrus, Joker and Javik to different priorities. Joker was now in line to succeed Hacket, Garrus was the next Primarch of the Turian Hierarchy, and Javik was off to seek council aid in contacting the lost colony of Protheans. This left the house with only three male crew members, and two of the three were infants.
"You okay Geo?" Miranda asked, cautiously approaching Georgia, who was standing by the front door, seemingly frozen, as the rest of the crew had dispersed after Hackett's shuttle had taken off.
"Last time I was frozen like that, you had left to spend the last three months apart from me, so it takes a lot to stun me like that." Georgia chuckled, noting how Miranda's gold eyes were studying her carefully.
"You're a soldier Geo; you've survived two wars and events that would traumatise most normal people." Miranda said hugging Georgia, "it's no surprise that it takes a lot to stun you."
"You think Joker can cut it as Grand Admiral?" Georgia asked, as they entered the lounge where everyone was now seated, chatting, reading and relaxing in the comfortable room.
"I think he'll struggle to live up to Hackett's standard, but he has experience on the front lines and a soldier's eye to situations." Ashley said, her eyes reading a datapad novel.
"I will assist however possible, although a goddess' touch may be needed general." EDI said, Georgia noted that everyone's eyes were now on her.
"If he prays for divine assistance, I'll do what I can" Miranda said, alleviating the tension from Georgia. "Georgia made me responsible for answering the prayers that were weighing on her mind."
"So you answer prayers?" Jack said sceptically.
"Yes, and your constant prayers for 'tits that rival Miranda's' have not gone unheard by me." Miranda scalded Jack, who blushed and ran a hand through her long black hair nervously. "Be nice and I'll grant it." Jack snarled and stormed away.
"Easy Miri, we don't want to upset potential converts" Georgia whispered, but the comment made Miranda burst into fits of giggles.
"What's so funny?" Aria asked coldly, the question killed her giggling fit.
"Miri doesn't believe that you'd all convert to worshipping me" Georgia chuckled; the other crew members raised eyebrows at their general's bizarre comment.
"Would you want us constantly worshipping you?" Tali asked quickly.
"Well, not constantly." Georgia said, smiling at the thought.
"The Normandy crew is more like a family than a religious cult, and you're the parents in that family." Liara said flatly, "worshipping you as our god would ruin the dynamic." She hesitated to see if others agreed with her, when the others murmured their agreement she continued. "But, in private I'll quite happily worship you day and night, you've taken me from a simple archaeologist to one of the two most powerful underworld bosses in the galaxy, with the other as my bondmate." Aria opened her mouth to argue the point, but quickly agreed.
"What's Aethyta think of Aria?" Miranda asked, already knowing the real answer.
"I'm not sure; we haven't really spoken in months." Liara said nervously, her eyes flashing to Aria for support.
"She's happy you've settled down with someone that makes you happy" Georgia said slowly.
"But, like any mother, she hopes you've made the right choice" Miranda added. "She prays you two stay together more than anything else." Aria chuckled, but Liara smiled with teary eyes.
"Thank you for that honest information, my goddesses," Liara said, before grabbing Aria's wrist and dragging her off, back to their room on the Normandy.
"It's best not to ask what they're up to, you'll never look at them in the same way again" Georgia said, blocking off her mind to their activities, despite Liara repeatedly yelling 'goddess'. The remaining crew members remained fairly quiet, continuing to read, chat privately or just enjoy the relaxed atmosphere, which the Shepard's house provided the Normandy war veterans.
"General, is what you said to Liara true?" Samara asked after a short pause. "Is her 'father' happy with her choice of bondmate?"
"Yes she is, she knows that as the Shadow Broker, she can't really hope for a perfect lover for her daughter" Georgia explained. "Though Aethyta naturally has concern about the Pirate Queen of Omega being with her young daughter."
"Of course general, as a mother myself I understand the matriarch's concerns" Samara smiled, caressing her daughter's scalp crests as she spoke. "Though unlike Aethyta, I will now live to see my girls grow old. Thanks to your godly blessing."
"And thanks to you we can actually have a life and a family" Falare added, smiling at Georgia whilst she relaxed against her mother's side. "Even Morinth is happy to have that opportunity." Morinth looked up from her datapad novel and smiled curtly. "I've even found someone who suits me perfectly." Samara tensed and looked surprised down at Falare.
"Who?" Samara asked quickly. Falare answered by standing up and walking over to Ashley, and sitting beside her. This move made Samara smile, "I can understand how you two found each other, you were raised in different worlds and cultures, your faith is what binds you." Ash smiled at Samara and took the opportunity to wrap her arm around Falare. "What about you Morinth? You found someone?" Morinth shrugged.
"Still adjusting to having who I fuck survive the mating, may be a while before I find someone mother" Morinth said, not taking her eyes off her novel. "And I won't until I'm sure they're right for me, have no fear of that." Samara kissed her daughter on the head, and put an arm around her shoulder.
"I'm so proud of you, since Shepard spared you on Omega; you've changed and grown from a primal killer to an intellectual equal to your sister." Samara said confidentially, her pride visible in her eyes.
"Well, I'm sure two and a half years in solitary confinement helped that change" Kasumi said, momentarily appearing behind Ash, before disappearing again.
"Excuse me one moment" Georgia said, getting up and leaving the lounge. Once out of sight she walked out into the back garden, and the large pool that hid the Normandy underneath. She stood there until she suddenly lunged out and grabbed thin air. "No more sneaking around" Georgia grunted as she picked up the invisible Kasumi and threw her into the pool, the stealth field generator dying as water surged through it.
"Spoilsport!" Kasumi spluttered as she surfaced and swam to the edge. "You like to ruin people's fun?"
"No, but your sneaking around is pointless, there are no enemies here." Georgia said, helping Kasumi out of the pool and helping her out of her damp, sparking cat suit. Kasumi strode back into the house, completely naked, as Georgia laid her soaked cat suit out to dry in the sun. As Georgia re-joined the others in the lounge, Kasumi had wrapped herself in a towel and sat down on the same sofa as Samara and Morinth.
"Happy now?" Kasumi asked sarcastically, as she dried off her dark purple, tailbone length hair, which she had pushed back behind her ears.
"Well, you're not hiding from your friends and remaining isolated" Miranda chided. "And if I'm honest, you're a very attractive woman, I don't understand why you hide under that suit."
"Because I wouldn't be a very successful thief if I was bare butt naked for my heists" Kasumi said, sounding like a whining child. "Plus, people would know who to watch out for if they saw my face."
"But you're not a wanted thief when on the Normandy, or here in our home. You don't need to hide away." Georgia said, trying to convince Kasumi they were right. "Do you understand where we are coming from?" Kasumi nodded and skulked away to find something more casual to wear. As Kasumi left, Jack returned, and leapt on to the sofa between Miranda and Georgia.
"Why's Kasumi naked?" Jack said as she muscled her way between the two Shepards.
"Because I threw her into the pool to destroy her stealth field generator, and stop her sneaking around" Georgia said, pushing Jack out of the way and wrapping an arm around Miranda.
"Huh, think you went a bit overboard, she's muttering about hacking into some of the appliances in the house to get revenge." Jack said, accepting the failed attempt to try and annoy her commander and general.
"Well, when she does, she'll learn that I don't like being fucked with" Georgia said, her confidence overflowing at this point. Miranda rushed off at this point to check on the triplets, returning minutes later carrying James and John III.
"Could you get Jaina, they're awake and need feeding." Miranda said urgently, Georgia sighed and walked upstairs, finding Jaina awake and overjoyed at her mother picking her up and bouncing her in her arms. Georgia carried her downstairs and sat beside Miranda, who had been joined on the sofa by Sha'ira, who was also breast feeding her baby.
"Keelah this is awkward" Tali said, trying to avert her eyes from the three ladies breast feeding the four babies.
"No it's not Tali, the act of breast feeding is a completely natural act for most species and races in the galaxy" EDI said, watching the act with mild fascination.
"Quarians don't…didn't breast feed" Tali corrected herself, remembering that her people were no longer reliant on the suits to survive.
"They did once, and will again Tali." Georgia said affirmatively. "Just give it time" Georgia's eyes travelled down to her daughter suckling from her.
"It's a bonding act more than anything, knowing you provided nutrition for your child and them suckling from you subconsciously connect to their mother" Samara said, seeming to remember when her three daughters were at that age.
"It's a foreign concept to me, but I see its merits" Tali admitted, realising she was a minority in her point of view.
"Considering I forced Kasumi to change into something less secretive, I'm wondering why you continue to wear your suit?" Georgia asked, noting that the question made Tali blush behind her visor.
"I'm just used to wearing it…hard to break the habit" Tali said nervously.
"Surely it would be simpler to wear clothes like we do, certainly a lot less to do in the morning and evening" Miranda said as Georgia helped her put her bra back on.
"What would I wear? I only have two suits to choose from" Tali complained.
"Not anymore!" Georgia said, she focused on Tali and snapped her fingers. Instantly Tali's enviro-suit was replaced by a matching dark purple jacket with a light purple shirt underneath, and slender black skinny jeans.
"Keelah" "Goddess" "Oh my god" the group exclaimed at the radical change, and Tali looked at her bare hands and hooves that poked out from her new outfit. Tali's light violet skin and glowing green eyes was framed by her long, bushy dark purple hair.
"Thank you general, I don't know what else to say" Tali said, tears starting to form in her eyes. "I have long wanted to experience the galaxy without wearing my suit."
"Nice to see you out of your shell Tali" Kasumi said, sitting down next to her, wearing another cat suit, but she had purposefully cut the hood off and let her long hair run down her back.
"You too Kasumi" Tali said smiling at the thief, who seemed to share her genetically purple hair.
"And you say that you wouldn't worship me" Georgia laughed, reclining on the sofa with Jaina sitting on her lap, looking around at the many aliens sitting on the other sofas. "Even when I perform miracles."
"Shove it Shepard!" Jack snarled, trying hard not to swear with the babies in the room. "You're asking for trouble!" Georgia smiled and focused on Jack, watching as moments later the ex-convict's breasts grew until they were the same size as Miranda's had been before her pregnancy.
"There you go! Breasts to rival Miranda's, happy now?" Georgia gloated, as Jack stared down in disbelief at her enlarged chest.
"I…" Jack stuttered, her new breasts were heavily restricted by the leather jacket she was wearing tight around her torso. "Thanks, but next time don't make it so public!" Jack snarled at Georgia before readjusting her jacket to accommodate her enlarged bosom.
"Anytime Jack, anytime" Georgia laughed, as she settled against Miranda, their triplets sitting happily on their lap, playing with their siblings, Shai'ria or a crew member that knelt before them to play with them.
