So I'm just going to give you a warning now, this chapter is utterly and pure fluff, I could not help myself. So if you're not a fan of that, then you might want to skip this.
If I could have drawn this chapter I would.
Also, thank you for keeping up with this story so early on, I truly appreciate it and I always like to see what you all think.
Enough babbling, I hope you guys enjoy, because this chapter was so much fun for me to write.
Shepard stood eerily still, she had seen everything, from the beginning, Liara talking to Chakwas, then her talk with Aethyta, Jane felt her worry, her doubts and her guilt but most of all she felt the love and she had made sure she sent that back to Liara, but what took her back was the slight little thump, which she could have only assumed was heartbeat.
Liara wasn't sure how Shepard would react she had shown her everything she was not going to hold back, if time said it was now then it was now. They had never hide anything from each other and now was not the time to start.
The blue around them slowly melted away, Shepard had started to come to reality when her eyes locked on to Liara's big blue eyes and if she could have ever loved and fallen for the asari even more it was right now because the pure look on her face was such an innocent mix of I love you, are you okay and worry.
"Jane if you-"
Shepard took her head and placed a kiss, she pulled her close as there bodies pressed together, not breaking the kiss she grabbed Liara by the back of her thighs, pulling her up so she was holding her. She eventually they broke the kiss, leaving her love a little taken back.
"Your pregnant?"
"Well I ye-"
Shepard kissed her again cutting her off.
"I'm going to be a dad?" The admiral stated now beaming
"If you let-"
No matter how Jane tried, every time she saw Liara smirk to answer her question she just had to give her a kiss.
"Shepard if you don't let me finish!"
Liara finally gasped for air, managing to let the sentence leave her mouth, if it was possible to killed with love, Shepard was almost there.
"Finish what? You want to talk about are little blue baby?" She raised an eyebrow.
Liara felt the heat on her cheeks rise, she was expecting a different reaction although this one was more then welcomed and before she had noticed Shepard was carrying her to the bed and plopped her on the bed. The red haired woman shifted her head to the side and was contemplating before she spoke.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner.."
Oh here it comes. Deep breath. Just explain.
"Shepard I-I know I should not have kept it from you. I did not want to.. I don't even know what I was thinking..I told myself I wanted time .. I'm sorry." The last bit was barely a breath as she felt tears come forward.
She instantly felt Shepard grab her hands and squeeze then, then gently placed a kiss as she waited for her to continue.
"After we got the Shadow Broker do you remember what you promised me?"
Shepard smirked and looked straight at her wiping away some tears.
"Little. Blue. Babies."
The tears she wiped were no use as the words Jane said were genuine and sincere filled with love and caused her to tear up again.
"When I couldn't find you Jane that promised echoed through me. The life I would not have. The life I could not have with you. The children I pictured that I would not get. Everything I wanted was gone."
Shepard was waiting patiently as she knew more was coming, they had not really talked about this before.
"And then I found you. Bloodied. Battered, but you were there and that promise ringed again. Shepard I look at you now and I realized that the life I thought I would never have is right here in front of me, I said I needed time, but I was afraid, I was always preparing myself for you to be gone but you're here my love, you're here."
The tears flowing even more she had never let this part known to anyone and finally admitting it to Jane lifted a weight off her shoulders. She felt a hand tip her chin to face her. When she looked up Shepard's face held nothing but love and understanding.
"Liara, I could never be angry at you, so please don't feel bad for keeping me from this, you're meld explained it enough so please love let that go."
Shepard said rubbing Liara's cheek with her thumb. She breathed in and continued
"When I had to leave you at the beam, it was the hardest thing to do, every fiber in my being told me to stay, someone else could sacrifice all that they loved , but it fell on me, so as I went on, I kept repeating, Liara is waiting for me, Liara is waiting for me."
This time Shepard was the one who was holding back her tears, relieving those last few moments took everything in her.
"I love you with every part of my soul Liara T'soni, I promised you a future and a future is what you'll get because you deserve that, I will spend my entire life next to you, I will not leave your side-." She paused as she trailed from Liara's face to her stomach "Or hers." She smiled.
Liara was trying to process this moment. The words she had just been told, however she got Shepard was beyond her but she was very sure of one thing..
"I am never letting her go."
"Well I sure hope not. I'm head over heels for you." Shepard joked.
Liara's eyes grew wide. She had just said that out loud, but she didn't care anymore she scooted back on the bed took Jane by her shirt and hurled her into herself leaving the woman no time to react as she landed into her with a big "oof", she then took the admirals face and stared into the big green eyes she loved so much.
"Goddess I love you."
"And I love y-."
She didn't let her finish as she placed a passion filled kiss, she trailed her hands down the sides of her lover, grabbing the bottom of her shirt and lifting it over her head, Shepard let out a low groan that drove the asari insane.
Shepard was following Liara, there mouths never losing each other lips as she quickly took off her pants, then she pulled back and took the asari's clothes off, no matter how many times she saw liara with nothing she always found simply breath taking. There bare bodies now together as Liara rolled over on top of Shepard, they paused for a bit, but Shepard's hand trailed off down..
Liara let out a loud gasp.
"Embrace Eternity."
*The next morning*
Shepard was the first one to wake up, the sun already shining, but all she paid attention to was the asari next to her, sleeping peacefully to her side, she traced lines and circles on her back, her hand reaching her loves face as she traced a thumb down her face when Liara stirred awake, smile placing her face when she saw Shepard.
"Do you know how beautiful you are?" Shepard said placing her forehead on liara's.
"If it is the same feeling I had when you captured my heart after Therum then I may have an idea." She whispered.
"I have a question."
"Yes?"
"In the meld I saw that you didn't know you were pregnant. How is that possible. I thought asari planned it?" Shepard asked pulling away to study liara's face and smiled when Liara blushed deeply.
God your so cute sometimes.
"True as that may be, sometimes if a meld it too deep.. Or an over exertion of emotions it is completely forgotten and.." She didn't know how to finish but Shepard started laugh.
"So I basically knocked you up in a sense?"
"Aethyta said the same thing, but neither you nor her knocked me with anything." Liara said genuinely lost as Shepard lost it, her stomach starting to burn with all her laughing when she finally calmed down enough she started to explain
"My dear love, it is a human term for someone getting accidentally pregnant."
Liara pondered at the explanation and when she finally put the pieces together she realized what she had said and her eyes grew so wide that Shepard had began to laugh again.
"Goddess Jane these human slang terms will surely get myself into a mess." She said burrowing her head into her palms.
"Nothing I can't save you from." As Jane pulled away her hands and gave her a quick peck on the cheek.
"Lets go out for breakfast?" Shepard added.
"I would love nothing more." Liara agreed.
*Later that night*
They were walking hand in hand as they inched the apartment once again. Miranda had gotten slightly mad at Shepard that she had missed her daily checkup but was assured it was for good reason and told her to stop by for a bit. Which she refused but was very adamant about seeing Shepard the following day.
"We're going to have to tell the crew soon." Shepard said placing some of the bags of clothes they had gotten for their baby, she could not resist.
"Should we throw a get together? Invite everyone?" Liara asked.
Shepard swooped around and pulled her close.
"Hm, I would love that. I miss them."
"I do too, well, Javik is to be debated."
They both chuckled.
"Are you ready?" Liara asked.
Shepard was thrown off a bit so her head shifted to the side.
"Ready for? The baby?"
"You never told me if you were genuinely okay." Liara mumbled.
"I thought last night would have proved that to you. If you weren't already pregnant I'm pretty sure that would have resulted in the same circumstance." She laughed.
"You just say these things." She shoved into Shepard.
"I would have never promised you this if I was not sure, and if your anything like human women, I'm ready for you, your cravings, your mood swings, the day you go into labor and of course are daughter." She emphasized the last bit.
Every time Jane mentioned there life, there future or the baby it made Liara's heart jump and she questioned why she ever doubted telling her love and it was one thing she would never do again.
"I just, I never thought I would get this, as much as I wanted it."
"A family? Liara you could have had a family, you are an amazing wom- asari."
This caused Liara to tense and then look directly at her love.
"Yes, you are right, I could have easily had family as you say, but the only family I had ever pictured was with you in it, so please, never say that again." she said softly but seriously.
"You are so possessive must be the krogan in you."
"Jane Shepard."
"Okay, Im sorry, I wont say it again."
"Good."
Liara snuggled again under Jane's chin.
"Seriously, no head butt?"
"I do not head butt."
"You sure?"
"Would you prefer to find out since you insist?"
"Luckiest human in the world, you know if it makes you feel better, I only ever started to think about family after I fell for you."
"Fell?"
"Its a human thing, it means trying to stop yourself from gaining any feelings for a particular someone and failing miserably."
"I am happy you fell."
Shepard was going to correct her, but decided to let it go and sighed in content instead. Everything she wanted was right in her arms. Her future, her past, her present and if you would had told her this would be her life a few years ago she would have told you're crazy, but shes come to realize, in all that craziness, she found Liara.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
