a/n: haha double whammy! But yeah this chaps pretty sad so don't get to happy.


Miranda slammed into the wall. Shepard's body on here's in matter of seconds. Her mouth devouring her lips in rough kisses, their hips rubbing together in sync, begging to break free from the clothes.

Miranda knocked off shepard's hat to run her hands through her girlfriends soft hair. The raven haired girls eyes widen, she broke the kiss and shoved Shepard onto the couch. She ran out of the living room and slammed the door shut once she reached the bathroom.

Shepard sighed, she ran a hand over her face in annoyance. "Hey babe?"

There was no response. Shepard shook her head and trailed after her girlfriend. She knocked slightly on the door. "Miri? What's wrong?"

Shepard listened for an answer but all she heard was coughing and gagging and the sound of the toilet being filled.

Shepard winced, "Again? Are you sure it's not just the chemo? You ah…got your period didn't you?"

There was nothing but silence.

Shepard pressed her ear to the door. "Babe? You okay?"

The door opened slowly. Shepard's heart sunk to the floor when she saw a drained Miranda reaching out for her, she took Miranda in her arms and stroked her back slowly.

"Sky, I haven't had chemo since the second week in the hospital. You know that." Miranda sniffled.

"Just trying to think about the what this could be…I-I just don't think right now is a good time for a little sky or Miri to be running around…" Shepard smirked weakly, "or a little zurrick for that matter."

Miranda furrowed her brows, "What? What are you talking about?"

Shepard chuckled awkwardly, "Sorry just trying to lighten the mood a little bit. Zurrick was an action figure I use to play with when I was a child."

"Shepard we can't have a baby. I'm not saying I don't want one, just once we get things sorted out. I can't even have a baby for Christ sakes, I'm in chemo. If I'm pregnant and I go and do chemo the baby will…will die." Miranda whispered sadly.

Nononon Miranda needs chemo or she'll…but if she's pregnant the baby will die inside her…

Shepard shook her head. "No…let's not think about it anymore. It's getting late."


"Doctor, do you mind not mentioning Miranda's…you know to her? Oriana and I want to keep it a secret."

The doctor shook his head. "I'm afraid I can't do that. One, it doesn't feel right on a personal level and two I'm suppose to tell the patient anything and everything I know."

She deserves to know…

Shepard nodded. "Alright just be gentle with it okay?"

The doctor smiled, "The test might say one thing but god says another."

The two walked into the room with Miranda who looked as healthy as ever.

"Hello doctor, is there something the matter?" Miranda asked .

Shepard took Miranda in her arms, "It's okay baby." Miranda, although confused, still wrapped her arms around Shepard.

"Miranda, I'm sorry to tell you this but…we've been looking at some test we've been running for quite some time now and it would seem…" the doctor paused. "You have almost two years to live." The man wiped away his tears. "I'm sorry."
