Chapter 9
On board The Normandy SR2
John had the entire ground team in the briefing room for a short exchange before exiting the ship.
"Mordin I want you and Garrus with me when we visit Anderson and the council, Garrus your former C-Sec and Mordin your former STG, maybe with you two backing me up about the collectors and the reapers they'll actually listen" he said matter of factly. Everyone agreed with that decision as it made the most sense.
"John I have to take care of something on the Citadel, how long are we gonna be docked" Joe asked.
"Are you kidding me your a wanted felon Joey, you can't get off this ship by yourself" John told his brother.
"Well loan me a hoodie and send someone with me if your really that worried, but I'm going either way" Joe responded almost defiantly.
The two brothers stared each other down for a moment until John finally gave in. "Fine, Miranda go with him keep him in line for me and make sure he doesn't do anything stupid" he smirked at his brother knowing how he felt about baby sitter's.
"Of course Commander, whatever you need" she replied.
"Joker tell the crew they have a day of shore leave use it wisely" John said walking out of the briefing room with Garrus and Mordin in tow.
John stepped off the ship with his party when they were stopped by an advertisement.
"Commander Shepard enter the password and win a prize" the advertisement said.
"Uhhhhh silence is golden" John answered.
Kasumi Goto revealed herself and asked John for help retrieving her partners grey box which John happily agreed to sending Kasumi to the ship. They continued on through the security checkpoint after being held up slightly by the scanner but Captain Bailey cleared everything up and they proceeded on to meet with the council.
The elevator doors opened to reveal Anderson already in session with the rest of the council Tevos, Sparatus, and Valern.
" Shepard glad you could make it" Anderson greeted shaking his friends hand.
"Councillor always a pleasure old friend" John replied " good day councilors" he addressed the others.
"Commander we've received some disturbing reports about your unexpected return, we thought it only fair you have the chance to explain yourself" Tevos addressed the Commander.
Shepard went on to inform them of the collectors, the reapers, and of Cerberus resurrecting him. The next twenty minutes were filled with the council denying everything Shepard said. After the conversation was over John stuck around to talk to Anderson for a while.
"How have the last few years been treating you old friend" John asked standing next to Anderson, while Garrus and Mordin took seats on the couches.
"Sitting on the council isn't exactly how I planned on spending my twilight years, but I'm making the best of it" Anderson replied.
"Where's Ashley Williams" John asked.
"Operations Chief Williams is on an assignment, its classified, I can't say more not while your with Cerberus, I'm sorry" Anderson told him.
"Well do you have any way I can reach her, I think I owe her an explanation Anderson" John said agitated. Anderson transferred Ashley's contact information to Shepard's omni-tool.
"Thanks Anderson" John said gratefully turning to leave the office.
"Be careful Johnathan, I know you feel like the council and the Alliance let you down, but you can't trust Cerberus" Anderson warned.
"I'll be fine Anderson, I have Joseph with me" John shot back with a smile.
"Oh god he's here on the Citadel, where is he, he's not coming up here right" Anderson locked down his office worriedly.
"Your awfully quiet today Shepard" Miranda said walking to keep pace with Joseph.
"Got a lot on my mind Lawson...you shouldn't be here" he said looking towards her.
"What's going on, you know I can handle myself" she shot back.
"This isn't gun play or fighting Lawson, this is personal" he told her as they approached an apartment in the wards. " This is my favorite place on the Citadel" he told her opening the door to a pretty lavish apartment.
They walked in looking around observing their surroundings "what is this place" Miranda asked.
"This is my apartment, help yourself to some seven year old food I haven't been here in a while" he told her walking off towards his bedroom turning on his sound system with the iPod attachment. Music filled the entire apartment, while Joseph grabbed a bag out of the closet and began putting clothes in it.
"What song is this" Miranda yelled to him from the other room.
"It's called How To Save a Life by a band named The Fray from the early 2000's. It's a beautiful song if you listen to the words" he told her walking back into the room she was standing in.
"Whose this" she asked picking up a photo of a beautiful brunette.
"That's Ana, my ex girlfriend" he said taking the photo gently out of her hand staring at it. "You ever been in love Lawson?" He asked her.
"No, I can't say I have" she shot back walking away from him to look at the other photos around the apartment.
"Keep it that way, so you'll never have to feel the pain of when you lose it, she's married now, the guy makes her happy and she's happy"he said somberly.
"Ohhh, is Joseph Shepard getting emotional over there" she teased.
"We all can't be made of ice Lawson, I don't know how you live that way not caring about anyone or anything, I mean c'mon we all have to care about something one day" he shot back at her walking back in into his bedroom.
She followed him looking around the room at the pictures of the two brothers all around the room. He had photos of the Commander's graduation from the academy, some when they were younger, then she noticed something. "You went to MIT" she shouted out in shock looking at his degree on the wall.
"Yeah, use to have a great job too... I'm good at it, sue me, why do you think Johnny's omni-tool is so advanced, I designed it" he informed her "what did you think I was the dumb criminal black sheep of the family" he shot at her.
"Yeah pretty much" she replied honestly.
"You know nothing about me Ms. Lawson" he said walking closer to her " do me a favor try not to assume that you do" he said walking back to his closet.
"I didn't mean to offend you Joseph" she said following him into the closet putting a hand on his shoulder.
"You ever wake up one morning and wonder what happened to make your life go the way it did" he said turning and looking in her eyes.
They stared at each other for a moment and then it happened so fast for either of them to grasp it. Their lips touched soft and gently, kissing their way out of the closet over to the bed. They broke apart for a moment as Joe waited for Miranda to give him the ok to continue. She grabbed his face kissing him again passionately, ripping his tank top clean off of him, unbuckling his pants before reaching inside feeling his semi erect member.
In one swift motion she pulled down his pants and boxers pushing him back on the bed. Staring at him, eyes filled with lust as she slid the zipper down her suit, he kicked off his boots. Removing the pants and boxers around his ankles as she stepped out of her suit and boots, crawling on top straddling him. They kissed again, tongues fighting for dominance as he unhooked her bra exposing her beautiful skin even more, as he gently kissed her breasts. Moaning in his ear as he slid her panties down pulling them off, "I don't have a condom" he whispered in her ear.
"It's fine" she said feeling his hard member rubbing up against her wetness, she sat up with her hands on his chest as she took as much of his length in as possible. They both moaned in ecstasy as their bodies connected kissing and moving as one, his eyes closed as Miranda rode him until his entire length was inside of her.
"Oh my god its huge" she moaned into his ear sliding up and down his impressive length. He rolled over to take control kissing her neck sliding in an out of Miranda with deep powerful thrust. Her legs wrapped around his waist arms around his neck as she approached her orgasm. His thrusts increased in speed kissing her lips, fingers running through her hair as she came all over his still hard penis.
He pulled out when she was finished rolling onto his back laying next to her. She quickly jumped back on top of him sliding his member back inside of her "I wasn't done Joseph" she purred in his ear. Bouncing up and down on him as he held firmly onto her ass. "Shit Miranda I'm gonna cum soon" he moaned out.
"Mmmmm yes, cum inside me Joseph" she screamed riding him faster approaching her second orgasm.
"Ohhhhh fuck" he yelled as he exploded inside of her filling her deeply.
"Ahhhh, ahhhhh, yessssss" she screamed out as her orgasm took her. She collapsed on his chest as they both drifted off to sleep.
Back on the presidium John had sent Mordin and Garrus on their way so he could do a little shopping before heading back to the ship. "Johnny Shepard" a woman called out to him "I thought you were dead how are you" she said walking over to him. It took him a moment before realizing who the pretty brunette was.
"Ana its been a long time I'm good how are you" he said leaning down giving the girl a hug.
"I'm great John, I'm doing well, I'm married now...speaking of have you spoken to your brother, I heard he took your death pretty hard" she told John sadly.
"Joey's ok, he's actually around here somewhere, I was about to go looking for him after I finished shopping" he told her.
"Joseph's out of jail, is he ok" she asked a little excitedly "I actually needed to speak with him about-" she was cut off by a young girl. "Mom, can we go now" the girl said grabbing her hand.
John looked at the girl carefully, about six years old, black hair, with familiar piercing grey eyes, and the Shepard family nose, it hit him quickly.
"Oh my god Ana, does he know" he whispered so the young girl couldn't hear.
"No, I never got the chance, after I found out what he did to that guy in the bar I was so disgusted and distraught I never spoke to him again" she,explained looking down.
"Ana he needs to know" John said through gritted teeth.
"I don't really think that's your decision John and its not your place to tell him, listen she doesn't know he even exists, I told her that her dad died when she was a baby, William's her father and he's been there for the past five years" she shot back at John.
John looked down trying to control his anger somewhat at the disrespect for his brother's right to be a father to his child "what's her name" he asked softly.
"Jessica Michelle" she told him looking down at her daughter who was damn near a female version of her father.
"She's beautiful" he told her looking at his niece "Ana I know it isn't my place, but he needs to know, he deserves to know, but I'll give you his contact information and I'll hope you do the right thing for a while. If you don't tell him in what I think is a reasonable amount of time I'm gonna tell him." He said taking a quick picture of Jessica unbeknownst to both of them. "It was good seeing you again Ana and it was nice meeting you Jessica" he kneeled down shaking the young girls hand before walking away heading back to the ship to take in the news he just received.
An hour later Miranda awoke looking around wondering where she was until it hit her like a ton of bricks." Oh no" she said untangling herself from the body of Joseph Shepard. Miranda couldn't believe what just happened "I can't believe I actually slept with him" she said to herself sitting up in the bed looking down at the sleeping form of Joseph. She quickly hopped out of the bed searching for her clothes, the abruptness and sudden movement awoke Joe from his slumber.
"What's the matter Miranda" he asked in a groggy voice sitting up in the bed.
"This was a mistake Shepard, it shouldn't of happened" she said putting on her catsuit.
"Miranda slow down and relax ok, talk to me" he said getting out of the bed walking over to her naked as the day he was born.
"No Shepard there's nothing to talk about " she said backing away from him " this never happened, get dressed we need to get back to the ship" she said walking out of the room leaving Joe dumbfounded.
He stood there for a minute trying to understand what went wrong in a matter of seconds. He shook his head before getting dressed and grabbing his bags of clothes and other necessities.
"You ready Lawson" he said in a cold voice she never heard him use before, not even when they were enemies.
"Let's go" she said walking out the front door as he followed closely behind heading back for the ship. So lost in his thoughts he didn't even notice the familiar brunette and little girl he walked right past making eye contact with the child but not the mother.
