The voices that Shepard kept hearing began to grow louder every hour. Though she was having a tough time regaining consensus, she could still hear and feel the things around her.
Every time she couldn't hear anything she felt cold, until she heard his voice. "Shepard, just please wake up. I could really use your support. I'm going to go meet with the Turian councilor, he said he had something he wanted to discuss with me."
As Garrus stood up and walked towards the door, he was about to open the door until he heard a soft whimper come from the bed. He stopped, turn towards her, and stared.
He slowly went towards her bed, and kneeled down at her side and made a soft whisper "Shepard?"
Her eyes slowly opened up as she heard Garrus' voice.
"Shepard!" He said louder as he saw her eyes start to open.
Garrus picked up a data pad and sent a message over to Miranda Lawson.
Come Quickly, Shepard is awake! - G
She began to see things, and when she turned her head to the side, she saw a turian at her bed. "Garrus?" she whispered faintly.
"Yes Jane, its me. I'm so glad you finally woke up, I thought you weren't ever going to."
She let out a cough as she spoke. "Where am I? Where is the Normandy? What happened?" Garrus didn't speak at first, his mandibles flickered. "I'll tell you once you start to regain your strength. but there is something I need to know from you."
"Yes?"
"Back in London, when we were saying our goodbye at the base, I didn't get the chance to tell you this. I didn't want you to say yes because you thought we were going to be all dead or something but."
he paused.
"The question I wanted to ask of you is... will you become my bond mate? it's basically what you humans call 'Marriage' I just said it in a way that it would make more sense to me."
She gazed at his eyes, now it was easy to tell what his emotions were.
"Garrus, no matter what I will say yes, you know that."
"I know, I just wanted to hear you say it, although I did look up what you do give humans when you ask." Garrus pulled a small bluish black box and opened it up, a gilded ring with a large dark blue sapphire in the middle of it. Shepard's heart stopped for a moment when they heard the door open.
Miranda walked in and saw Garrus and Shepard looking at her while Garrus was holding a ring up to Jane. "Good to see you awake Shepard, I'll leave you two alone for the next few minutes." she said as she walked out of the room and close the door.
"Well, that was awkward." Garrus said to himself. He then grabbed the ring and placed it on her finger. "This is beautiful Garrus, is it the colors of your clan?"
"Actually yes it is, I found this a jeweler store on the citadel couple days ago."
Over the next few days, Miranda has been keeping Garrus waiting out in the hall, she said she wants Shepard to recover as soon as possible, though he ignored her and sent messages via datapad. They used it to chat to themselves while Miranda kept him outside.
I went to see the Turian councilor, he gave me a few options seeing as my achievements are well, significant.
And what were the options Garrus?
Well he offered me a Spectre status, it would work great in case you don't wish to retire yet. He also offered me Primarch status if I truly wanted it, Victus stepped down just after we finished the war.
I could see you being a Spectre and not a Primarch Garrus. Besides why would I retire yet? I still have to look after you and the Normandy.
Still trying to make me blush huh? Well, it didn't work again. But I'm sure it will over the next few years.
So did you tell anyone yet?
Nope. Tali is outside reading the datapad with me so lets keep this whole thing a secret for now, she has been dying to see you again.
"When will Lawson be done with her examinations? Tali asked eagerly.
"To be honest Tali, I'm not so sure." He let out a groan.
"On the datapad, Shepard said something about a secret, care to spill it Garrus?" Tali smacked him on the shoulder lightly. "Only if you promise not to tell anyone else." He spoke quietly as he looked around for anyone spying on them.
"I'm promise, besides when have I ever let you two down?"
"Jane and I are engaged." He said softly as he turned his head towards her.
"Really? That's fantastic Garrus!" She almost jumped out of her seat after he said it. "But why are you keeping it a secret?"
"She wants to tell the crew herself, so act surprise when she does."
"Don't worry, this will be our little secret." she giggled when she said that.
