Aerin Morth: Thanks for the review again :) The part where he fell asleep.. I just thought it would be so Kaidan :D The reason why I update fast is because I have summer holidays.. so no homework and I already had the chapters written on my laptop.. unfortunately school starts next week and I have no idea what to write after the next chapter :(

darkhideout: Thanks for the review :)


After this nerve-wracking and stressful travel to earth she wouldn't have believed that something could cheer her up but she was wrong. The summer house of Kaidan's family was just amazing. It was in the middle of nowhere hidden behind trees. As Kaidan had told her it had his own lake behind it. The house itself was not big. It had a kitchen and a living room which were linked with each other, one bedroom and one little bathroom. It also had a porch with a wooden swing on it.

At the moment they were sitting in the swing enjoying the good weather. Shepard was sitting on Kaidan's lap resting her head on his shoulder. He was stroking her arm as she began to speak "You know.. in a month this whole thing will be over.. we have to get back on duty again.. on the Normandy .. together.. and then ..something like that on the way to Ilos can never happen again.." He sighed "I know.. but I just don't want to think about it.. let's just enjoy our time here ok?" She raised her head to look in his eyes. They were full of pain. "I don't want to think about it either but we have to.. I just don't want to have a month and then throw everything away what we have..." Her voice cracked and she closed her eyes.

"I just want to be with you." He began to stroke her cheek "I know." He kissed her forehead. She felt a tear rolling down her cheek and hated herself for that. She knew it would hurt him to see her so. "Hey Shepard don't cry." She opened her eyes again and looked at him "Please call me by my first name Kaidan .. I always feel on duty when you call me Shepard." "Okay if you want to, then Jane don't cry ok?" She smiled because it was actually the first time she heard her name from his lips. "I don't want to loose you just because of that freakin reapers or the council or whoever says something against our relationship." She interlaced her fingers with his."I know.. but what can we do?" "Yeah.. what can we do?" she mumbled. "Look, we have a full month to find a way.. and until nothing comes to our mind I know a better way to waste our time." She smiled. He could always make her smile. He took her hand and pulled her inside. "Go get you're bikini.. we are going to swim in the lake." He smiled wide and ran into the bedroom to get his own things. Shepard had to laugh at the view because he looked like an excited little boy.

After they got changed he carried her on his back to the lake. There was a small wooden dock and before Shepard could realize that sitting on Kaidan's back was a part of his plan he began to run and jumped off on the edge. They both splashed into the water and although she could have killed him for that it felt fantastic. The water everywhere around her felt good. How long had it been since she last swam in a lake? She pushed herself from the ground and swam on the surface. She looked around and could see Kaidan nearly in the middle of the lake. So he was a good swimmer, another thing she didn't knew. As she reached him she pushed him under water. When he came up again she just said "That's for jumping in the lake." and smiled.


I know it's really short.. but I have to rethink the chapter that comes after that..

My god.. I looked through lists of names for my Shepard but in the end I just chose the default name.. -.-

Again... sorry for mistakes ...
