A/N: Bioware owns all.
Hey to you all who read this, cute little moments as always and some development I was afraid you all would get bored from so much Shepard and Liara interactions so soon enough you'll see others in this story but if not let me know because writing them as I said before is beyond fun.
I am writing three stories currently so I will try to keep them all updated.
Thoughts are always welcome and with out delay, Enjoy!
"Wrex?" Liara said going down the list.
"Of course."
"Grunt?"
"I owe him a meal."
Liara smirked, Jane and Grunt would never admit it or maybe then never realized it but Grunt was a child to Jane and Jane was fiercely protective of him, a Krogan.
"Tali and Garrus?"
"I just love how you pair them together Li."
"They are an item, as you humans say, is that incorrect of me to assume?"
Shepard smiled as she was eating her lunch, Liara no matter now she changed into a strong beautiful woman... Asari, she still had the little innocence that made Shepard fall for her even more.
"Yes, we humans, as you asari say, they are an item."
"Good. As well as James and Ashely."
This time Jane choked on her drink.
"James? Ashely? When did? How?"
"You were perhaps too intoxicated to remember but they were together at the last get together you had."
"You mean they hooked up?"
Liara turned her head to side.
"Shepard, neither James nor Ashely suspended themselves by any- oh ..Human slang."
Shepard was thinking that a lot of her crew were together.
When did I become Cupid?
She stopped wandering in her mind and went back to continue the conversation.
"Yes Li, human slang, so we have Jack, Kasumi, Samara, Jacob, Joker, EDI, And Zaeed left, right?"
"Yes, EDI & Joker are coming, along with Samara, Jack and Kasumi. Zaeed and Jacob will not attend, though they both send there apologies, Jacob did want me to share some information with you."
"If you may be so kind."
"Dr. Cole has had her baby, they named her Hope."
Shepard smiled Jacob was excited to be a father.
"That's great, they probably want to spend family time together, I understand."
Liara had a mischievous look on her face.
"Shepard have you thought about our baby?"
Jane's face flushed red, the thought never left her mind, they were having a baby and every time Liara mentioned it she got so happy.
"Of course I do Ms. T'soni, why do you ask?"
"We have to think about a name love."
Shepard's eyes lit up at the thought of naming there baby.
Are baby. Mine and Liara's. I'm I ever going to get used to saying that? She'll call me daddy.. A dad.. Me..
"Jane?"
Liara had been waiting for an answer but Shepard seemed to be off in space, she had called her twice already and still no answer.
"Liara will I be a good dad?"
The asari studied her lovers face, this was what she was thinking about? If she would be a good father to our daughter?
"Jane, you will be a wonderful father."
"But what-"
"No butts, you are kind, you are loving, you are generous, you are most certainly protective and you as most would say saved the galaxy not only for them but for her, for us."
Shepard slid off the stool from where she was eating and walked up to where Liara was standing she bent down and placed a kiss on her stomach she then pulled away but left her hand as she spoke.
"My little one, you hear what mommy says about me? I worry too much, but you have an amazing mommy who loves you, cares for you, will protect you, teach you so many things because she's so smart, I just thought I'd let you know and-
"Jane!"
That's when she felt it on her hand a quick small movement she had frozen and started to think if she just imagined it, she thought she heard Liara call her but her mind was processing it, it couldn't be. Not now.
Liara took Jane's hand and bent down with her, the red head had sat on the ground in her shock, she laced there fingers tougher and with her other hand she grabbed Shepard's face and pulled towards her.
"Are you okay?"
Shepard finally came back and was staring at Liara dumbfounded, the asari wiped a away a tear she didn't know had fallen, it was a happy tear but she was amazed.
"S-she.. Did she move? Did you feel? I.. How?"
Liara could only laugh to herself at the sight of Shepard being amazed and speechless, which was very rare.
"Yes she did move, yes I felt it. In asari, in the womb, the children are sensitive to outside activity even more so between father and mother she most likely felt who were my love, don't be alarmed."
"But your only-"
"Asari pregnancy although similar to human pregnancy differs, the baby develops rather quickly in the first few stages and then slows down after."
Shepard shook her head and pulled Liara close to her, squeezing her tightly.
"Why didn't I ever read a book on asari pregnancy?" She laughed
"Shepard I believe you said you got me knocked up, I don't think you had time to prepare." Liara replied nuzzled under Shepard's chin.
"Yes true but I wanted this with you, so knocked up isn't exactly right."
Liara said nothing but gripped Shepard tighter they had both at the same time felt there daughter move at the same time.
"Where's Liara?" Miranda asked curiously.
"Went to finish some shadow broker things."
Miranda shifted her head to the side and raised her eyebrow.
"You seem happy, what are you not telling me?"
"Miri.."
"Yes, Miranda is my name Shepard, thanks for reminding me." She smirked.
"Alright you ass, well ... Liara.. She's.. Pregnant."
Miranda stood perfectly still and started to laugh uncontrollably leaving a very confused Shepard to wait for her answer.
"You didn't know Shepard? I clearly missed a spot when I brought you back." She now said calming herself.
Shepard crossed her arms in defense furrowing her brows.
"And How did you know!"
This time Miranda was able to answer.
"Shepard how did you not put it together you bloody clown."
"Bloody this, bloody that, whatever."
"Bloody right you are, but Shepard you deserve this, I'm happy for you and I get to be Aunty Miri." She genuinely smiled her blues eyes sparking at the thought.
"When did the ice queen become so so-"
Shepard was met with a little warp to the back of her head.
"Alright. Nevermind." she mumbled as she rubbed the back of her head.
Miranda gave a very serious glare.
"You're still coming right? To the get together?"
"Most definitely."
Miranda was one who didn't like surprises so telling her no was better then later, because Shepard was sure she would get another warp to the head.
Shepard had been on her way back home when she was met with a message from Hackett asking to speak with her.
"Hackett its good to see you."
"It's good to see you Admiral, how are things?" He asked genuinely.
"My recovery is almost completed everything seems to be healed so about a week left and Liara.."
He shifted in his stance "Liara..?"
"We're expecting Hackett."
For the first time in her career Shepard saw Hackett smile from ear to ear but then he quickly regained his normal stature.
"Congratulations Shepard, this is the very reason I wanted to speak with you."
Shepard's heart dropped a bit without being able to find her voice she nodded at the admiral to continue.
"The galaxy is as close to stable as it gets, there is no war as of now, but Shepard if you would consider it, there is a position at Grissom Academy, you'd be working with kids, you have as much time as you you'd like to think about it."
"Thank you Hackett ill think about it and talk to Liara ill let you know as soon as I can."
He nodded "Hackett out."
Shepard walked in to a dark apartment which was rare Liara didn't really like the dark but she did get a rise of scaring Shepard in the dark.
"Liara?" Shepard said carefully.
She reached for the light switch as the lights flickered on, her eyes took a few seconds to adjust when she caught sight of the asari she was calling for. She layed on the couch wearing Shepard's hoodie and underwear, which made Shepard feel very tingly but the sight was perfect. Liara slept peacefully her hands resting on her stomach, Shepard walked over quietly and noticed there was a data pad on the floor she picked it up and read it.
What to expect when expecting: Asari Edition.
She shook her head and sent it too her data pad she definitely needed to read that. She then glanced over at Liara while picking her up in her arms and walking her over to there bed, she gently placed her down and pulled the covers up to her shoulders and placed a kiss on the asari's forehead. She began to walk away when she heard Liara stir.
"You're home."
Shepard walked back to her quietly
"I'm home."
"Don't leave." She said sleepily.
"I have to change, but-"
She didn't get to finish as blue engulfed her and she then looked down to realize she was only in her tank top and her briefs. Liara was surely dominant when tired.
Definitely part krogan.
"Now come, please." She said a little more awake but still tired.
Shepard listened and crawled in behind her, Liara turned to her side and scooted her back against lover as she felt her favorite arms wrap around her as the snuggled as close as possible next to each other.
"I'm not dreaming am I?" The asari whispered
"No love. This is real."
"My reality is better then my dreams." She said before drifting off.
Yes Liara for once in are entire lives our reality is better then are dreams. Shepard stood awake for a few minutes listening to absolutely nothing expect for liara's slight breathing, it was peaceful for once, no worries, no war just her and her life, it did seem like a dream, but the fact still remained, life right where it was, was far beyond what ever dream she could ever have, because really who knows what there happy ending is?
