Chapter 6
It had been seven years since Samara and Angel got bonded at an Athame temple on Thessia with everyone they knew there. Samara was iffy about allowing Aria to come but Angel convinced her in a very lovely way. Thanks to Khalisah, the Maiden had gotten the recognition that Jane knew she deserved about a month after Jane asked the reporter. It had decreased the amount of pressure and depression the Asari felt but once marrying/bonding with Samara the depression disappeared over the course of two months. A year after their bonding Angel was pregnant with their first child and if she thought Samara was protective before after the Reaper war she saw a whole new level of protectiveness once the Ex-Justicar learned her love was pregnant. Asari carried children a little longer than humans, humans carried for nine months where Asari carried for ten to eleven months and one the rare occasion they'd carry for twelve months. Angel only carried for ten and a half months before giving birth to an Asari baby who had Angel's pale blue skin and Samara's steel/grey blue eyes…they named her Nelyna.
"Mommy!" shouted a voice making Angel groan as she laid in bed with a pillow over her head. She heard the door open and grunted as weight hit her, the five year old holding onto her.
"Yes Nel?" asked the now 29 year old Maiden.
"Father wishes for you to get up. She said I had to come do that."
"Mm…why did she want me up?"
"Something about Auntie Jane and Auntie Liara coming over for lunch with Auntie Tali and Auntie Xen!" smiled the little Asari snuggling up to her mommy.
Angel smiled at her child as she thought about the last name she said, Auntie Xen. She chuckled as she remembered how Tali actually openly admitted to having had a crush on the Admiral since she was a younger before her pilgrimage but was afraid of her. The two of them having gotten married four years ago, thanks to Xen's extra part she could get Tali pregnant when ever they wanted a child. Xen having gotten a dick many, many years ago when experimenting on a human before injecting herself with his blood to see if she would become more immune to human infections resulted in a dick because of her tampering with it before injecting herself. The two didn't want children yet but planned on it with in the next year or two, everyone knew Tali was putting it off because she was scared of giving birth but they knew she wanted to be a mother…they'd figure it out eventually.
"What's your father doing?" asked the maiden before covering her mouth and yawning.
"She's cooking you breakfast." smiled the young girl.
"Did you eat?"
"Yes mommy, I ate like forever ago."
"Alright sweetie go tell daddy I'll be right down." answered Angel kissing her forehead before Nelyna leaped off the bed and ran out of the bedroom to the kitchen.
Angel threw her blankets off and looked at the picture on the nightstand of her and Samara during their bonding ceremony making her crack a smile. It was something she loved waking up to so that's why she kept it there. She grabbed her dark blue robe and slid it on before leaving the bedroom to head downstairs, her eyes looking out the window see the part of Earth that they lived on. About four years ago, the Council agreed to moving the Citadel back into Earth space to give it a new surrounding and new view since the old spot it used to be had become filled with debris after Angel and Jane took down a couple of slaver ships. Also somehow the Queen of Omega…MOVED Omega just about half an hour to an hour from the Citadel. So Aria and Councilor Tevos took Angel's old apartment while Moraga and Hannah bought their youngest daughter and her wife a house on Earth. Angel would take a half an hour shuttle ride from Earth to the Citadel four days out of the week, Tevos giving her three days off instead of two. She smiled to herself before jogging down the rest of the stairs and walking into the kitchen.
"Morning love." said Samara pulling her close and the two kissing making Nelyna giggle. "How is little one?" her hand going over Angel's stomach making the younger woman smile…she was pregnant with their second child.
"I believe she's fine Samara. I'm only two months pregnant." chuckled Angel.
"Think of a name yet?" asked the Matriarch kissing her forehead and holding her close.
"Reyla?" asked Angel making Samara nod.
"I like that. Nelyna and Reyla." The Matriarch felt Angel kiss her cheek before going over to Nelyna who was coloring in a coloring book that Jane had bought for her last week when she visited.
"What are you coloring sweetie?" asked Angel sitting beside her daughter to look.
"Auntie Jane got me a coloring book that has different species in it!" smiled the little girl. "I'm coloring a girl Quarian! I want to give it to Auntie Tali and Auntie Xen."
"That's a good idea." grinned the Maiden smiling at her daughter.
To tell the truth, Angel never thought she'd be bonded or be a mother. She leaned on her fist watching Nelyna color the picture of the girl Quarian making her chuckle and smile. Samara set a plate of eggs and bacon down in front of her making her kiss Samara's hand before picking up her fork and eating her breakfast. "Mommy…"
"Hm?" hummed Angel putting some eggs in her mouth.
"Can we go see Auntie Aria?" asked Nelyna making Samara freeze and Angel look at her. "She and Auntie Thea."
"Um…Samara?" asked Angel making the Matriarch turn to see Angel eyeing her. Samara was and always will be iffy about Aria, especially with their children but Aria was one of Angel's closest friends.
"Sure. We'll go the day after tomorrow. Sound good?" asked the Ex-Justicar.
"Okay daddy!" smiled the five year old making Samara crack a smile.
"Alright, Nelyna it's bath time." said the Matriarch patting her daughter's back.
"Aw. Okay." she pouted before getting off the seat she sat on. Angel chuckled and ate a piece of bacon.
Angel finished her breakfast up and was washing the plate when arms encircled her waist and lips touched the side of her neck. "Where's our child?"
"Playing in the bath with a toy thresher maw." chuckled the older woman.
"Well Wrex was right…she likes it." laughed Angel turning in Samara's arms and kissing her softly on the lips.
"Mm…" hummed Samara deepening the kiss making Angel gasp into her mouth as a tongue went into her mouth. Before they could do anything else Samara pulled from their kiss making Angel whimper at the feeling. "You woke up…go get dressed before company arrives."
"Fine." sighed Angel pecking their lips together and heading back upstairs to get dressed.
Around 1pm, Jane and Liara showed up with Tali and Xen as Angel was getting Nelyna dressed. The two of them giggling as Angel tickled her daughter who she dressed in a N7 t-shirt Jane had gotten made for her and a pair of jeans, Angel wearing a t-shirt she got made that said Afterlife and had the Omega symbol on the back of it with her own black jeans. She patted Nelyna allowing her daughter to run out of her room like a bat out of hell to go see her aunties. She slipped her boots on before walking down the stairs to see Jane holding her niece in her arms making the little Asari giggle. Jane set Nelyna down and hugged Angel tightly making the young woman laugh as her big sister held her close.
"So how close are you?" asked the Ex-Justicar to Liara who was pregnant with their first child.
"Seven months along." answered the 116 year old Maiden with a smile.
"Oh yeah…Janie…I'm pregnant again." grinned the girl making Jane, Liara, Tali, and Xen look at her.
"Again?! Damn you go Samara." chuckled Jane making Angel roll her eyes. That was something she'd expect from Aethyta, Moraga, or Aria. "How far?"
"Two months."
"And you couldn't tell me last week?"
"I forgot…I just remember to tell you." laughed the Asari making her human sister sigh and smile at her. "Reyla. That's what we're naming her."
"We're naming ours Rayne." grinned Jane making Liara smile softly as she rubbed her stomach.
"What about you two?" asked Angel looking at Xen and Tali. Two years after the Reapers where destroyed Liara managed to come up with a serum that would allow Quarians, who injected themselves with it, to live outside of their suits for a couple of hours before having to take another shot. So right now Xen was playing with some of Tali's raven black hair, Tali's hair went past her shoulder blades where Xen's raven black hair reached her shoulders. The two of them having the same light shade of purple skin with bright eyes.
"Xen and I have actually been talking about it." blushed Tali. "We're going to try for a child in a couple of weeks."
"I'm gonna have a cousin?!" asked Nelyna making Tali laugh and pick her up, setting her on her lap.
"You might but you're going to have Auntie Jane and Auntie Liara's daughter before ours." smiled Tali making Nelyna hug her "Auntie". Everyone who had been aboard the Normandy was either Auntie or Uncle, along with Aria and Tevos, but that was because the Normandy was Angel's extended family.
"I just wish Thane and Mordin where here to see Nelyna and to see Rayne…" sighed Angel from the spot on the couch making Samara look at her. "Mordin would've talked your ear of Nel…and it would've put you to sleep."
Jane started laughing and she kissed Liara's covered stomach before looking at her sister. "My god, if you ever had trouble putting her to sleep you could've called him up and asked him to talk to her about some experiment he was working on."
"True." laughed Angel as Tali played with Nelyna making Xen smile. "So Xen, ready to be a parent?"
"I've been ready since my pilgrimage years ago but I was creepy to everyone."
"Mm…you are creepy but I love you." whispered Tali pecking their lips together making Xen smile.
"Good cause I love you little one." purred the Admiral making Tali giggle.
"Auntie Tali isn't little!" stated Nelyna making Xen look at her.
"No she isn't but to me she is, she's younger than me." she said poking Nelyna's nose making her look.
"Nel wants to see Aria." stated Angel making Jane look at her.
"Who wants to see me?" asked a voice making everyone look to see Aria standing in the kitchen doorway holding a cup of rum.
"How the hell did you get in here?!" snapped Samara standing up.
"Swear." stated Nelyna making Samara relax.
"Sorry dear." she sighed walking to her daughter and picking her up.
"Angel gave me a spare key. I'm the other godmother remember?" stated Aria walking over to Samara and Nelyna, kissing Nelyna's forehead making the little Asari hug her. She then kissed Samara's cheek who recoiled her head with an annoyed look. "Thea's at a meeting here on Earth and I got bored. I snuck in through the back. Lemme see her."
"Give me the rum." demanded Samara making Aria raise an eyebrow. "You want to hold her you give over the rum."
"Fine." snapped Aria shoving it at Angel who caught it before any of it spilled. She then picked up Nelyna from Samara's arms and hugged the little girl. "Haven't seen you in two months kiddo!"
"Auntie Aria." giggled the little girl.
"Oh so Aria doesn't know yet?" asked Liara.
"Know what?" asked the lavender Asari.
"Angel's pregnant again." stated Tali.
"Damn…what the hell Justicar…"
"Ex Justicar." corrected Samara.
"Whatever! You got her pregnant already?!"
"It's been six years Aria." sighed Angel passing the rum to Jane who set it down. "I'm entitled to be pregnant again. Give…" Aria handed Angel back her child. "Nap time for you little one."
"But lunch!"
"I'll make you some lunch when you wake up, I'll make your favorite IF you go straight to bed to take a nap." stated Angel poking her daughter's forehead.
"Auntie Kasumi's ramen?!"
"No it's Mommy's ramen. I can't make Kasumi's ramen, she puts certain stuff in it and she won't tell me what it is. She's evil." she hissed in a playful way.
"She's not evil!" laughed the little Asari.
"Evil Kasumi!" repeated Angel walking up the stairs to put Nelyna down for her nap.
She came back downstairs to see Samara handing out plates with sandwiches and chips on the plate. She kissed the Matriarch before sitting down and laying against her while eating her own sandwich. An hour passed and they all left, leaving Samara to go deal with their child while Angel went to take a hot bath. The next day they didn't do much aside from laying around the house and watching TV with their daughter but the day after they took a shuttle to the Citadel where Councilor Tevos met them and was hugged by Nelyna making her smile. She picked the little Asari up and hugged her again, shifting her so she sat on her hip before walking back to their apartment with Samara and Angel.
"Hey Angel!" shouted Jason running up and smacking into her.
"Watch it!" snapped Samara shoving him back. Oh goddess…she was getting protective again.
"Whoa what I do?" he asked.
"She's two months pregnant and you smacking into her isn't smart!"
"Samara…" stated Tevos making her look. "…calm down."
"I already knew she was prego." stated Jason making Samara look at Angel with a raised brow look, if she had brows that is.
"I told Jason after I told you."
"Hey kid." smiled Jason rubbing Nelyna's head.
"Hi Uncle Jason!"
"I'm off duty by the way. If you want I can take her to the arcade and bring her back to the apartment." stated the Turian.
"I don't t…" she saw Angel looking at her. "…fine. Have her back in an hour, hour and a half."
"Understood." he said taking Nelyna from Tevos with a smile before walking off.
"Were you like this with your other kids?" asked Tevos.
"No. Sonya was always protective. I suppose it's normal, the father is always protective."
"My mom's protective." stated Angel.
"Your mother is weird and she scares me sometimes."
"Least she's not grandma." smirked Angel making Samara shiver at the thought of Rezia.
"Sadistic bitch."
"Swear." stated the 29 year old.
"Fuck you."
"Yes please!"
"No no…" said Aria walking around a corner. "…that's how you get pregnant." She patted Angel's belly making her look. "Name?"
"Reyla."
"Pretty."
"What's wrong with you Aria?" asked Samara.
"Um…" started Aria.
"We're trying to have a baby so Aria's getting iffy." stated Tevos.
"Who's gonna carry?"
"Thea will. I wanna be the dad this time." smirked Aria making Angel laugh and hug her best friend. "It's just…the whole my first daughter thing and all, I'm worried."
"You'll do fine." whispered Tevos kissing Aria's cheek.
"What's up with everyone trying to get pregnant?" asked the youngest Asari amongst the four.
"It's popular these days." started the lavender Asari making the girl smirk.
"Who else is trying?" asked the dark blue Asari.
"Tali and Admiral Xen." answered Samara. "Plus Liara is pregnant."
"Yeah we know." stated Tevos. "Liara met me for lunch the other day."
Aria poured drinks, Angel's being soda instead of alcohol since she was pregnant. Samara had her arm wrapped around Angel's shoulders as they talked with Aria and Tevos, the younger woman inhaling as she felt tired. "What's wrong?" asked the Ex-Justicar looking down at her.
"Tired and sore." she muttered. "Only two months in and I'm already sore."
"Oh! I have something that might be of some use!" said Tevos sitting straight up on the couch. "Aria got it cause…well she's Aria and she gets fucked up a lot."
"HEY!" snapped the Queen of Omega.
"What is it?" asked Angel.
"Medi-Gel bubble bath. You put it into your bath and it will help aches and pains. A lot of Asari in the embassies said it works wonders when pregnant."
"Yeah we have an extra bottle. I'll go get it." said Aria setting her cup down to go and get the bottle of bubble bath.
"She was like this when you were pregnant with Nelyna. She gets worried and careful." chuckled the Councilor sipping her Asari wine.
"She's always cared for her. Saved her from me…" whispered Samara.
"Here." said Aria tossing the bottle at Angel but Samara snatched it up before it could even hit Angel…well she didn't know if it would but Samara wasn't going to take the change.
"Thanks Aria." stated Angel making the Asari nod at her.
Jason arrived an hour and a half later like Samara instructed but Nelyna was fast asleep and clutching a plush toy of a Turian which Jason had won for her out of the claw machine. Angel kissed Aria's cheek and hugged Tevos as Samara took Nelyna to head back home since Angel had fallen asleep for ten minutes against her bondmate. Once getting home Angel fell asleep on the couch, Nelyna being a good little daughter asked her daddy for a blanket to cover up mommy. Angel stayed asleep the majority of the night, missing dinner and not being able to put Nelyna to bed like she usually did but Samara just told the truth and said Angel wasn't feeling good. The Ex-Justicar was cleaning up the living room when she heard a sharp intake of breath making her look to see Angel looking around before groaning.
"I missed dinner."
"There are leftovers." answered the Matriarch putting Nelyna's toys in the toy box that was downstairs. She crawled over to the couch and kissed her bondmate a couple of times. "I'll go heat them up for you?"
"What did you make?" asked Angel.
"Meatloaf and mashed potatoes. It's what little one requested."
"Little one takes after her mommy." chuckled the pale blue Asari.
"Yes well…I'll bring the food to you my love."
"No. No…" said Angel standing up and Samara grabbed her arms to steady her just in case. "I want to eat in the kitchen, I know you wash the dishes at this time of night."
"Fine." chuckled the Matriarch as they walked to the kitchen, passing the glass case that Samara had her Justicar Armor in. She still wore her headpiece because Angel loved how it looked on her so she never put that away but inside was not just her armor but also the weapons she used.
"Do you miss being a Justicar?" asked the 29 year old as Samara sat her down at the kitchen table.
"A little but I left that life to start this one with you."
"Do you regret it?"
"Never."
"So you're glad that we're together." smiled the younger Asari.
"I'm happy Angela. I'm really happy, trust me. I've got someone who loved me even when I swore my code was more important, I have a loving daughter and I have another one on the way. You are my life, you'll always be my life." she whispered before kissing Angel softly on the lips making her kiss back.
"I love you Samara." whispered Angel making Samara hug her and Angel kissed her stomach.
Three years later
"Who taught Reyla to do that?!" snapped Angel as her three year old daughter Reyla had created a biotic shield around herself. Angel and Samara had begun teaching Nelyna to control her biotics when she was five years old but Reyla wasn't at that age yet. Unlike Nelyna who looked more like her mother, Reyla looked just like Samara except for the eyes which were a normal blue color.
"Hehe…" chuckled Jack sitting on the couch with Miranda.
"Jack! You ass!" snapped Angel.
"Swear." said a 8 year old Nelyna walking by. Unlike Angel, her mother, grandmother and so forth, Nelyna wasn't aging as fast as they did.
"Sorry sweetie." answered Angel.
"Sorry I didn't know she's actually pick it up Angel but come on it's funny!" laughed Jack.
"I will sick Rayne on you." stated Jane making Jack look at her with wide eyes. Last time Rayne, Liara and Jane's daughter, was around Jack…she bit her.
"Where the hell is Samara?" sighed Angel.
"Swear."
"Sorry." groaned the now 32 year old Asari.
"Where did Samara go anyways?" asked Miranda holding Jack's hand.
"She went to go pick up some food." sighed Angel rubbing the back of her crest as Nelyna climbed onto her Auntie Jack's lap and Jack rubbed her head. "Alright Reyla…please come out…" Reyla looked at Angel. "Pretty please?"
"Mommy!" said Reyla launching herself at Angel making her catch her and laugh.
"That's my girl! Now…go attack your Auntie Jack!" she said making Reyla laugh as Angel put her in Jack's lap with her sister.
"So have you and Samara…" started Jack before wiggling her eyebrows suggestively.
"Yes last night."
"Seriously?" asked Miranda.
"Yeah. The kids are heavy sleepers…thank fuck. Samara makes me scream." stated the young Asari making Jane spit soda out of her mouth. Angel chuckled and looked at her sister with a smirk on her face.
"I didn't…" she waved her hand.
"Oh like I needed to know how you get Liara to moan your name! You told me in detail!" stated the 32 year old making Commander glare at her.
"No explain to me again why the Commander does not age?" asked Jack.
"The implants when Cerberus rebuilt her." stated Miranda. "The Illusive man wanted her to be around for a long time so it slows down her aging. She'll probably live to be two hundred…he paid a lot of money for the best implants. Mm…we need to go Jack. I have an appointment to get my nails done."
"Why?" groaned the tattooed woman.
"Cause you like it when I run my nails down your back as I'm…" she cleared her throat and raised an eyebrow.
"Oh! Coming!" she said setting the girls onto the couch before running after her girlfriend as Samara was walking in through the door making her look.
"What did I miss?"
"Miranda's getting her nails done. Nothing much." stated Angel rolling her eyes. "Jack taught Reyla to create a biotic shield…I wanted to kick her a…butt."
"Why didn't you?" she asked pecking their lips together before heading to the kitchen.
"Cause of the kids being here. I would've if they where sleeping."
"Speaking of sleeping. It's almost bed time isn't it?" asked Samara, it was seven thirty in the afternoon but they liked their girls having a good night sleep.
"Yeah." stated Angel walking to Nelyna who was still as small as she was when she was six, she picked her up and then picked Reyla up. "Who wants to go with daddy?"
"I do!" said Nelyna making Samara take her happily.
"Mommy." muttered Reyla seeming tired.
"Someone's tired. They used too much of their biotics." chuckled Samara kissing her youngest daughter's head before heading upstairs with her bondmate.
"Hey I'm gonna go!" said Jane. "I got my girls to get home too!"
"Yup!" shouted Angel.
Angel laid Reyla down in her room while playing with her hands as Samara laid Nelyna down. "Good night Rey." whispered Angel before kissing her youngest daughter's forehead.
"Night mama." muttered Reyla rolling over in her bed and hugging her stuffed thresher maw toy to her chest. She stood up and walked out of the room to see Samara cracking Nelyna's door.
"Cuddled with her thresher maw toy?"
"Yes…Wrex keeps getting them thresher maw themed toys." chuckled Samara taking her wife in her arms then kissing her making Angel kiss her back.
"They're Shepards…that's his reason." answered Angel before laying her head on her wife's shoulder.
"Wanna get pregnant again?"
"Not really no." stated Angel making Samara laugh and kiss her head. "Maybe in another year or two."
"I can do that." smiled the Ex-Justicar kissing Angel's neck and nibbling on it.
"Bath." said Angel patting her wife and heading to their master bathroom.
"Yeah well, you start it I'm gonna go lock the front door and I'll get in with you."
"No sex." ordered the girl.
"I wasn't planning on it dear. We'll do that later."
Angel fired their tub up which had jets coming out of the sides and she sat her now naked form into the hot water making her eyes roll back a bit because of how soothing it felt to her. Samara came in stripping herself of the clothes she wore before stepping in and Angel sat up for her to sit behind her. She pulled Angel close and ran a hand down her stomach while kissing the side of her head making Angel look at her. Samara smiled at her before pecking their lips together and Angel turned so she could lay on her side beside Samara so she could snuggle against her. The Matriarch kissed her cheek before wrapping her arms around her and holding her close with a smile on her face. She then tilted Angel's head up making their eyes meet and Angel saw a look in her wife's eyes that she couldn't pin point.
"Samara?"
"Thank you."
"For what?"
"For loving me. For bothering me because you loved me. For making me happy again." she whispered making Angel blush a little. "I have a beautiful wife and two more beautiful daughters, a loving extended family and friends that I wouldn't trade for anything."
"Well you're welcome. I swore when I fell in love with you that I'd somehow be with you and I am. So trust me…I need to thank you too. You made my dream come true."
"Well I'm glad."
"The Goddess might have done things in your life that you didn't approve of but she put me in your life." whispered the young Asari making the older Asari smile before kissing her once more.
"I love you. I've probably always loved you but never saw it until you where on Earth with your team and the reapers."
"I was in love with you the moment you stabbed me." grinned Angel making Samara start laughing and she held Angel closer to her body while kissing her face.
"You are such a weird girl."
"But you love me for it!" giggled the Maiden.
"Of course I do, I'll love you even if you start acting like Xen."
"Oh Goddess…I hope I don't. I'd be scared of myself."
"And I'll tie you up."
"Is that a threat or a promise?" purred the younger woman.
"Take it however you want but if you start acting like Xen, I will tie you to the bed until you go sane." stated Samara.
"How about we just skip all that and you just tie me down later tonight or tomorrow. Fuck me senseless?" suggested Angel.
"I already do that. You where limping three weeks ago."
"Cause you took Aria's advice and went rougher than you should have."
"You weren't complaining."
"Fuck you."
"Later. Bath time." smiled Samara rubbing Angel's back as she kept her close.
"Damn it Samara…"
"What?"
"I love you so fucking much." smiled the Maiden.
"I love you more. Now and forever." answered the Matriarch kissing her wife once more.
The End…or TBC?
Not entirely sure if I want this to be over or not, I did just come up with another AngelxSamara story that would be one long chapter. I'm not gonna go into details because I don't know if I wanna do it or not. Plus I don't know if I'm going to continue this cause I've run out of ideas.
So yeah…if this is the end then thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed. But if I continue then see you all next chapter lol.
