It has been nearly two weeks since Jane Shepard woke up, and now she is almost at full strength to leave the medical center. One of the nurses brought an extra chair and placed it a couple days ago, so Shepard didn't have to sit or lay on the bed when guests arrive.
Wrex had stopped coming by seeing as the council needed him every few days, Tali had to resume her work on Rannoch, and Kaiden continued to guard the center from reporters.
It is nearly midnight. Jane thought to herself as she placed the book down on the table and began to fall asleep.
She began to dream about what might of happened at the beam, how Anderson lost his life, and the fate of Harbinger?
All these thoughts in her mind kept waking her up every few hours. Garrus was going to stop by along with his sister, Sol later on after she is awake.
As the sunshine went through the room, she began to wake up, and saw the door about to be opened. In came a soldier who looked like he had been through hell and back, though she already knew who this soldier was. "mornin' Shepard. Brought you a couple beers for when they get here." Kaiden put a case of beers on the table and looked at her. "We haven't had much time to talk, got 5 minutes to spare if you want."
"Sure..." She wasn't quite sure what to say so she just started to wing it. "How is it being a Spectre Cmdr. Alenko?"
"Since when did you start calling me that, Cmdr. Shepard?"
"Funny, I was just messing with you." she made a slight grin as he started chuckling. "Guess its been alright, I dunno. Heard you were getting out tonight?" She made a slight moan but nodded her head. "Well, if you want you two can spend the place at mine, I got an extra bedroom, as long as you don't make any noise or a mess..." They both looked away from each other during the next couple seconds of awkwardness.
"You mean Garrus and myself?"
"Of course I do, but as I said no nois-"
"No noise or mess, got it. We'll try not to wreck the room." There was a slight sarcasm in her voice as she stood up and went over to the chairs. "Besides Kaiden, you forgot something."
"What did I forget now?"
"It has been 10 minutes since you brought those beers." She laughed a little as he made a whimper noise and sped off down the hall.
"Are the rumors true Admiral Hackett? Is Shepard going to make a speech in the next couple days? If so why wait till now?" She saw Hackett's face make a 'keep your mouth shut' face and began to speak.
"Yes the rumors are true, no denying them now since every major Channel will be bugging the Alliance for days. You asked why she waited? If you do recall she has been supposed to be in a medical center under heavy guard, with sever injuries."
"Thank you so much for your time Admiral!"
"Your welcome if I actually cared."
Jane received a message over the datapad and began to read it:
Jane, will see you tonight, running late. Sol will visit us tomorrow. G-
Finally, it was time. She began to pack her things, gifts from the crew, the book Traynor gave her, though it is a bit on the 'not her type' kind of book. Kaiden had made a back exit for her to reach his speeder, while he held off the reporters at the front gates. as she walked down the hall, she could hear the reporters outside talking to Cmdr. Alenko.
"Is it true she was or is still here!?"
"Can you tell us anything you know about her whereabouts?"
"Will you bring her out the front gate or a secret back exit?
Kaiden made a groan sound as he spoke, "Listen, I can't say anything, I'm just here guarding, and if I did know anything I wouldn't give away the information."
Luckily for her, Kaiden had set a couple guards in the back exit just incase she got ambushed by reporters, though she made it to the speeder without a sign of anyone noticing.
After about 10 minutes of waiting, Garrus walked up to the car. "Who is Garrus Vakarian's favorite Cmdr.?" Shepard just blinked in confusion. "I'm going to guess me, but why are you saying that?"
"Kaiden told me to so I know that your actually in here." he pulled keys out of his armor and unlocked it and got in the backseat with her, for the next five minutes they just hugged and looked at each other.
"It has been so damn long since we've had privacy like this Jane, if Kaiden wasn't taking us to his place I'm quite sure we would wake up still in this ride." Garrus then began to kiss her, the last time they kissed was right before the beam run back in London. "Is that a promise or a hopeful wish that I would accept Garrus?" she made a giggle noise as they kissed again.
"Maybe a bit of both, though you won't find out till we get our own place."
Once Kaiden got into his speeder, he looked in the rearview mirror and saw Her and Garrus resting right beside each other. He didn't bother to bug them till they reached his place. "come on you two 'love-birds' literally for Garrus though." They both stepped out of the vehicle slowly as they walked up to his place. Once they walked in they saw a small room with 2 split doors beside each other and they both began towards the second bedroom. "Council got me it since I became a Spectre, though that-never mind, I'll tell you both tomorrow about it." Kaiden went into his own room and fell fast asleep.
Author's notes: Liked it, right? good now review it! just kidding. Hope you enjoyed chapter 4, a bit more adult like towards the end but it doesn't matter, its considered moderate compared to some of the fan fictions I've read IMO. :o
