I know I said last chapter we would have a conversation between the parents, but I figured it was time to type Benezia and Venus, the two love birds. This is a rather sweet chapter, and about the maidens feelings.

Replay Review: metaladdict – First of all thank you for your review. Now, English isn't my first language either, I'm actually Portuguese, and I'm studying French as well, besides English. So it's like three languages hitting against each other, sometimes messes up my brain, hell my French grades are horrible right now. xD - Yet it's no excuse to fail the simplest typos. I stopped reading my chapters over again, I try to hurry up a chapter per day, since my last school year is starting, and I want to make sure I could go far with this fanfic before start studying again. - But I will stop rushing perfection and take more time to fix everything. – I shall remove how long the couple has been together so people don't have to debate themselves over Benezia's asari age, I rather keep things simple by saying she's a maiden and her suppose human years. – I'm indeed rushing things, maybe more than I actually wanted to, I just felt like finishing the chapter quick, and maybe even try finish the fanfic before the studies start again, but I guess not, and now I won't rush things anymore. – Once again, thank you for review, the advices are really useful, and I shall use them from now on, and hope the fanfic gets better. Thank you!

Enjoy! – Sorry for any typo

Chapter 6: Rebel Love

Last night...

Benezia was standing on her room with her ear slightly pressed against the door. She was trying to listen her mother and father's conversation, and soon was turning into an argument that made her stomach turn. She hated seeing her parents arguing, hell this is actually the first time she ever witnessed them fighting, but what hurt her the most is, she knows this is all her fault. The young asari feels empathy towards everybody, and she doesn't like make decisions without making sure nobody gets impaired, and it seems this time she wasn't so careful.

As she kept on listening to them, she quickly got shocked with a statement from her father, was she really going to say what she thought? Was she really going so far on not allowing Benezia to have this child? She heard her mother quickly yelling back at her, making her realize how hurtful and foolish her words sounded. Even if her father was under stress, and pressure, she still couldn't believe her own father said that, and now she felt terrified. Who wouldn't? Your father who once was the Great Commander Shepard, saviour of the galaxy, the human spectre, she was basically a legend. So of course Benezia sometimes felt intimidated around her father, they don't have the same bond she has with her mother, it is different.

But now after hearing her father words, she couldn't help herself but start reaching for a bag, and put as much clothes as she could in it, also gather all her money she saved from this few years, and put it inside the bag as well. She didn't want to stay here, fearing her father would have an argument with her as well, and bad things could happen. So after doing her bag, she dropped it over her shoulder, open her window and jumped off, using her biotics to land safely. This made her remember every time she had to sneak out from Venus house. With a small smile on her face, she decided to start running away from her house and get some cab, so she could go to Venus house, and ask for her help.

In 15 minutes, Benezia was already at Venus house, she wasn't sure how she was going to approach the other asari, so she basically threw a rock against her window, but used her biotics to control the rock in the mid air, and have it only knock on the window softly, to make sure it wouldn't break. In few seconds, Venus open her window and saw Benezia hidden behind the cars of her parents. "What are you doing here?!" Venus asked half whispering, half yelling, hoping her parents wouldn't hear her. She could tell they were downstairs in the kitchen.

"Need to talk to you, it's urgent." Benezia replayed.

Venus simple nodded and jumped off her window, using her biotics to fall slowly on the ground as she rushed her way towards Benezia, then she noticed the bag on the asari's shoulder. "What's the bag for?"

"I told my mother I was pregnant. Her reaction was actually good, I thought she would be angrier, but she wasn't. However my father.."

"Wait, you are running away?" Venus asked with a frown.

"I had to! My father's reaction was far from good, and she was actually up to "remove" the baby from me." Benezia looked at Venus with a slight frown before look down at her belly, and press her palm against it. She wanted to get pregnant with Venus, she didn't knew why she wanted it so soon, but every part of her told her to get pregnant now or else she would regret it. Even though things are tough right now, and she feels like regretting it, but she still won't let anybody harm her baby.

Venus sighed out, and calmed herself, as she pressed her palm against Benezia's belly as well, she tilted her head forward and pecked her girlfriend's forehead. "Alright, let me pack few things, and I will take you out of here." After telling her this, she went back to her room, by climbing the walls, like she was a damn spider; Venus was always the sporty girl, athletic agile one. It only took her five minutes to get some bag with her clothes, then her money, and the keys of her car. Jumping off the window again, she went to her car with Benezia, and managed to remove her car from there quietly, before having it lift from the ground and fly quickly away from that place.

Both asari maidens felt like they were on the run to protect their daughter, maybe they were over-reaction, nothing that bad could really happen, right? Her parents wouldn't be so evil; they were still some kind of heroes after all. Well at least Benezia's parents were. But still, they are young maidens, with a future daughter, they only want to make things easier for them and live in an adventure. Just like their parents had in their lives, exciting adventures.

Current time/Morning – Hotel

Venus after running away with Benezia, she decided to get a hotel for the both of them, a two stars hotel, nothing big and fancy. Mostly because of the money, it would run out easily, plus, the more expensive places they went, the more important it was, the easily they could be detected by somebody. This two have already been in the news on the beginning of their lives because the media was delightful with the daughter of Shepard and the daughter of the Councillor Tevos. Hell, there was even a stupid magazine who said that Shepard and Tevos were actually together and the two little girls were sisters, it was a foolish magazine that Tevos had to quickly shut it down. Also Venus was on the "non so busy" part of Citadel, that part that wasn't full with rich people.

Venus woke up once the sunlight came through the window and hit her eyelids. She slowly groaned lazily, and flipped over, now lying on her stomach. Pressing her elbows over the bed, she rose her upper body up and looked around. She saw how simple the hotel was, one large bed, a small table besides the bed, then a small TV, with drawers underneath it, and then they had the bathroom in their room that was so small they couldn't be together in it. Huffing out, her eyes finally laid on her lover, Benezia. The blue skinned asari was sleeping calmly and peacefully, with a smile upon her face. Wonder what she is dreaming... Venus thought, while tilting her head down and plant a soft kiss upon Benezia's forehead.

Benezia felt her lover's lips against her forehead, so she sneaked her hands up, and cupped Venus cheeks, before bring her head down and kiss her on the lips. Giving her a loving, soft, morning kiss. "Good morning."

Venus kissed her back, as she placed her palm over Benezia's arm, caressing her soft skin softly. "Morning, beautiful. "

Benezia smiled up at Venus as she kissed her once again, this time wrapping her arms around her neck, and holding her closer, hell Venus was even forced to drop herself over Benezia to keep kissing her, yet she managed to hold her upper body up by pressing her palms on the sheets. She didn't want to hurt Benezia.

"Relax, hun. Only three months, still very small."

"Still...You are never too careful."

"I take it your mother taught you that." Benezia perked up an eyebrow (if she had one), with a silly grin. She doubt Aria was the one who told her daughter that.

"Heh, yeah." Venus rolled her eyes playful. Her father also used to say that, but only when it's about business or about Omega. "So, today we need to go shopping. I need to buy two new omni-tools."

"Two?"

"Yeah, my mother took mine and plus we don't know of yours don't have any tracking device."

"Oh right..." Benezia pouted slightly before look down. They were really doing this, they were on the run from their parents, it was foolish, but for some odd reason her body was craving for this curiosity, for this adventure, she wanted it, and she wanted it to happen with Venus.

"Hey, don't pout now little mutt."

"That's mean!" Benezia slapped her shoulder playful before allow a giggle escape her lips.

Venus laughed, and grabbed Benezia's wrist to stop her from slapping her any further. Then she kissed her lover one more time, even allowing her tongue to explore her mouth. After few seconds, she pulled back and stood up from the bed. "Let's get ready."

The two maidens were walking through the streets, hand in hand, as they chatted with a big smile on their faces. We could tell they were truly happy, even though the thought of their parents were still in the back of their mind, but Venus promised to keep themselves busy enough so they didn't had to think about the problems.

"You got the omni-tools now. It's time to go for the real shopping." Benezia said, as she gripped onto Venus hand and tugged her into some store, full of clothes.

"Of course..." Venus rolled her eyes once she saw that they were in the clothing store. She knew that Benezia loved going shopping for this kind of things. While Venus preferred to go shopping for some new tech or new weapons that she was allowed to use, which was like none, but she still enjoyed to go to the stores and admire them.

"Come on, I want to buy some new dress." Benezia said with a giggle as she began to search for the perfect dress. Which was something hard to do, in the end she had like ten dresses on her hands, and Venus was staring at her like she was crazy. "Come on, don't look at me like that. Help me get rid of at least five of them."

"Alright." Venus walked over, and got rid of the dresses that showed too much skin. Even though the asari's were comfortable with their sexuality, the normal dresses they used still covered their entire bodies. "There, go try them Nezzie. Do some fashion show for me." Venus said with a silly grin before wink at her, and then she walk up to some chair, and sit down on it, waiting for her lover to show up, this time with a dress on her.

Benezia took some five minutes to remove her clothes and put on the dress. It was a black dress, with orange stripes on the edges of her body. It covered her entire form; the sleeves were a bit baggy on the end, to reveal more of her hands, and her wrists, if she wishes to wear jewellery. Now that she was dressed, she showed herself in front of Nezzie. "Ta-dam!"

"Oh wow." Venus commented with a smile on her face, as she looked up and down at Benezia, it was a decent dress, it stayed good and elegant. Like a real lady. "Try this one now." Venus stretched out her hand, handing her another dress.

Benezia smiled as she took the other dress on her hands and went change again. After some minutes, she was already on her last dress. This one took her more time, because it was completely different from the other. This one was black, with blue details on the bottom, and then there was a big cut on her back, revealing her blue skin. It was sleeveless one, so it was mostly likely hanging around her neck, and hugging her curves perfectly. This was a good dress to impress Venus some time, maybe for some dinner, who knew, but she still wants to hear her lover's opinion just to make sure she likes too. Stepping out, she showed herself to Venus again. "So what you think?"

Venus was starting to get bored of waiting, but the very moment her girlfriend showed up with a beautiful dress, her face quickly lighten up, as she was speechless. She didn't say much at first, which was leaving Benezia uneasy. Standing up, she walked up to the Shepard asari, and took her hand slowly, as she forced her to spin around, so she could take a look at her full outfit. It was gorgeous, of course she didn't wanted Nezzie to wear it all the time, but it would be amazing for private and special moments. "Goddess, Nezzie, you are beautiful. So, so freaking gorgeous."

A purple blush showed up over her blue cheeks. "You really think so?"

"Of course!" Venus grinned, quickly rushing her lips against her lovers, kissing her deeply, for few seconds, before just keep on pecking her kisses, like she was happier than ever, and she was. Who wouldn't be happy spending time with the person you love the most? And the little future baby that still wasn't in your arms, but you still loved her more than anything.

Benezia giggled through the all kisses Venus was giving her. As much as she enjoyed this, people were already looking at them. Pressing her palms softly against her girlfriend's shoulders, she pushed her away slowly. "Thank you, darling. I will buy this and the first one."

Benezia had already three bags on her hands, one carried her dresses, other carried a pair of shoes she bought, and the other one was smaller, with some jewellery. Since this wasn't the most rich part of Citadel they could find cheap things easily, maybe they won't last as long as the good ones, but oh well, it's still good business.

"Hey babe. I still want to buy something."

"What? Don't tell me it's another omni-tool?" Benezia mocked her with a chuckle.

"Nah, something I know you will like."

"Oh? Like shoes?"

"Nah, well we could, but they wouldn't fit you."

Benezia frowned slightly wondering what the hell she meant by that.

"Come on, we are almost there." Venus tugged her hand, and in ten steps they reached a baby store. Yes, Venus thought about buying some baby clothes, even if it was just one outfit, she wanted the first outfit of their daughter being bought by themselves.

"Goddess, Venus!" Benezia said with an exciting yelp as she jumped onto her girlfriend's arms.

"Easy there." Venus chuckled, holding her. "Figured you would like it. Shall we shop now?"

Benezia pecked her lips, before sigh happily and then skip into the store.

"May I help you?" A young woman human approached the couple with a smile on her face.

"Oh we are looking for some baby girl outfits." Venus said.

"Age?"

"Newborn." Benezia answered with a smile.

"Follow me please." The human walked towards some shelves full of newborn baby girl outfits. They were pink, red, purple, yellow, even blue but with details of pink. "If you need anything else, don't hesitate to call me." The human gave them a warm smile, before walk away.

"Oh my, look at this one Venus!" Benezia yelped in excitement again as she took out one of onesies and showed it to Venus. It was a white one, with pink details around it, and it even had a hood to cover the baby's head. It was beautiful for Benezia, but almost anything so small was amazing for her, it made her face the reality, that she was really going to do this, that she was really going to have Venus daughter.

"It's beautiful, babe." Venus told her with a smile, before start looking for outfits. She found some layette, this one was yellow and it was written "I love daddy." "Hey, look at this one!" Now Venus was the one yelping in excitement, as she quickly showed it to Benezia.

"Gorgeous, we will have to take that one." Nezzie gave her girlfriend a warm smile. She was glad that Venus was as excited as she was about this.

After twenty minutes...

The two asari maidens were done with the baby clothes; they were now paying for it. They bought the layette Venus found, two onesies, two pair of socks and then a pair of small boots.

"Here you go. I hope your future daughter will enjoy it." The human worker told them with a smile.

"Ah-uh...Thank you but how do you know it's for our future daughter?" Venus asked, a bit suspicious as she perked up an eyebrow.

"It's rather obvious, miss. I saw lot of excitement in your faces, the only excitement we see from happy parents that are waiting for their child."

"Yes, we can't wait for our baby girl." Benezia spoke up with a warm smile, as she watched Venus taking the bags.

"I hope she will be healthy and happy with such wonderful parents. – Come anytime, thank you for picking us."

"Thank you as well." Venus thanked again, as she took Benezia's hand and left the store. It was past the lunch time, and Venus figured Benezia would be hungry by now. "Let's eat something." Venus kissed her girlfriend's cheek, this time a long loving kiss, showing her affection, before start walking again, trying to find some place for the two of them to eat.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter! - Yeah, 3k words for this. I wanted to make sure it would be a chapter that showed a normal day of this two and a sweet one as well. – Next chapter will be the parents talk, and them trying to figure out how to find their daughters.

Stick around!
