Garrus and Nihlus sat shivering on the sofa in her cabin wrapped up in thermal blankets and drinking a weak, hot tea. Sonya stood across from the, the low table and floating orb between them. Her belly had gotten bigger since the last time they saw her and she had a new scar above her right eye from a battle with the Reapers. Her arms were crossed and her face was glowering down at them.

"So, either of you two want to tell me why you were beating the piss out of each other?" She asked.

"It was just a sparring match, Sonya." Garrus defended.

"Really. It didn't look like one. It looked like you were trying to kill each other. And don't tell me you weren't. So what was it hum?"

Garrus opened his mouth again, but she cut him off before the sound to power the words left his throat.

"And don't you dare tell me it's over who gets to be the daddy, cause I'll drop both of you out the nearest air lock and not look back. You're both the father. You can deal with that or you can't, but I'll not have this disrupting my ship more than it already has. It's both or neither. Do you understand?" She shouted

It wasn't a question. The fathers sat, silent and ashamed.

"I don't want apologies." She said after a few moments, much calmer. "I want to see and hear the two of you accept the fact and get over it. Nothing can change it."

The turians looked at another and briefly nudged foreheads. Then returned to sulking over their tea.

"Good. Now Dr. Chakwas and Dr. Jeron both believe I have about a month left to go because the baby is fully developed." She waddled her way between them and sat down. "Now we need to come up with a name."

The thought put a smile on both father's faces. Names filled the night like stars in the sky, as well as arguments for and against various names.

"Taevus Vakarian. Sounds strong!" Garrus argued.

"Why should your family's name be the one he keeps?" Nihlus growled.

"Because my family is one of hight standing. When the Reapers are defeated it will be the Vakarian house that will rebuild the empire!"

"Lofty goals there, Garrus..." Sonya grumbled as she sat between the two.

"What about Cornelius or Craig?" She teased.

They both paused in their arguments to stair at her. Garrus raised a brow.

"Craig?" He scoffed.

"What? What's wrong with Craig?" She glanced over at him with her face still in her hands.

"Craig, Sonya? Really? He's turian. It's a human name." Garrus argued.

She sat up then, slow and with knitted brow.

"Why can't he have a human name? He's a third me ya know!" She glared at him.

"Okay, he can have a human name. But he's two thirds turian. His name should reflect that." Garrus said.

"Faustus?" Nihlus offered.

"And what would his family name be?" Sonya asked, knowing the subject was unresolved.

"Kryik. Faustus Kryik!" Nihlus nodded with certainty.

"No!." Garrus objected.

"What about some kind of compromise?" Sonya offered. "Like...hummm, us...us.. rus, lus, Sontus? Sirrus? Niga'ya? Vekarrem David Kryik? Rihlus Vakarian?"

She racked her brain trying to think of something they would agree on. She was to the point, in one nights time, that she didn't care anymore.

"I like Rihlus." Nihlus said.

"Yes, of course you do, you self righteous..."

"Garrus!" Sonya cut him off. "Play nice."

"Okay, Rihlus. What do you like Garrus?" She continued.

"What will be the family name?" He asked.

"I havn't decided yet." She said. "It might be Shepard."

She grinned when their necks turned pale.

"If it's not Vakarian then I like Vekarrenm." He stated, crossing his arms. "If it is Vakarian, then I like Taevus."

"Okay. Now, can we go to bed?" She whined. "We've been at this for hours and I'm exhausted."

The turians smiled at the little human who rubbed her big, dark eyes with many little fingers and yawned. Nihlus scooped her off the sofa and they all climbed into the bed, sandwiching her in the middle and went to sleep.
