Later on in the party Shepard saw Kaidan and Melly holding hands as they went to a area to dance. Shepard always knew Melly was the better dancer considering Melly was a figure skater growing up when they were kids. Jane then felt two arms around her waist as she saw Liara's blue hands, then her face as she rested her chin on Shep's shoulder. "Playing Matchmaker Shepard?"
"From what I remember I've been trying to get them two together for years." Shepard admitted, "Timing wasn't always on my side to get them together. Melly needs a nice guy in her life she's had fallen for the wrong kind of guys. I remember one time she and I met at the citadel for a beer as she told me that her ex-boyfriend sold her out to her rival who was some sell out treasure hunter. She didn't take it well not even the first guy who cheated on her behind her back. When I met Kaidan again I felt that he'd be perfect for her."
"You're not wrong Shepard." Liara spoke, "I don't suppose you and I could celebrate your return more propper later on the Normandy?"
Shepard smiled lovingly at Liara as she turned around to face Liara, "I'd really like that Liara."
"Shepard, Melly had a theory about Savick's contraption that she didn't tell anyone."
"What was that?"
"Well everything will be reset, as in our timeline."
"Well that makes sense I mean it's weird that I remember so much and it's back to the date when well Kaidan and Ash got injured..."
"Only that both You and Melly took turns in the same room."
"... I don't think I'd change anything except try harder to get Melly and Kaidan to meet sooner."
"Well Shepard I don't think I'd change anything either but I'd agree with you about them two."
Shepard saw Melly and Kaidan quickly go to her bedroom and then shut the door as Shepard made sure Liara didn't look behind her shoulder. Shepard felt her nerves kick in for a short second but after she finished her drink she felt confident that this little planned surprize would pay off. Kaidan exited out of the room first as he looked as if Melly had a quicky with him as his uniform was out of place in a few areas while his face was covered with kiss marks.
Liara looked at him as she giggled, "Looks like you got the girl did you Kaidan?"
"Yeah the lipstick part was her idea." He grinned.
"About time too." Shepard chuckled, "Yeah that sounds like her she loves to prove to the ladies to back off from her man."
"Kaidan I remember you telling me you always wanted that." Liara teased.
He chuckled, "Alright you got me Liara but she didn't know that until I told her that after she did it."
"Well that makes it even more special you think?" Shepard smiled, "Now if you and Melly do a shengnian like that again I'd hope you two don't go too far at your host's home."
"Oh I'm pretty sure Melly knows." He chuckled, "I should wash this off my face."
"Not until I take a photo of this and send it to her." Said Liara, "Glyph take a photo of Kaidan."
"On it Doctor T'Soni." said Glyph.
Shepard saw Melly exit from the bedroom to mouth out "it's ready cuz knock her socks off."
Shepard smiled as she nodded then took Liara's hands, "Glyph can you take a video starting now of Liara and I."
"Oh course Commander. Recording. Just tell me when to stop." Said Glyph.
"Liara I have a surprise for you." Said Jane.
"Oh?"
Jane took Liara into the bedroom where she saw a rainbow of flower petals in a perfect heart with J and L in Red petals was in the center with two champagne glasses in a "X" between their first Initials. Not far from their bed was a standing ice bucket with a bottle of chilled Asasi Champagne made from Thessia, Liara was speechless. Simple and romantic, something Shepard
"Shepard?" Liara spoke as Shepard saw her next little surprise on the desk as she took it before Liara could see it to hide it behind her back. 'Phew,' Shepard thought as Liara turned to her, 'That was close too close. No turning back now.'
"I had asked Melly and Kaidan do this as a favor while I spent time with you setting up this party... Liara I've wanted to do this and I don't want to waste anymore time Liara..." She said as she then went on one knee as Liara's eyes enlarged, "Originally I was going to wait for Melly to get your other mom but I feel I can't wait any longer..." Shepard took a small ring box she hid from behind her back as she opened it to Liara. Liara was crying as she saw the ring in the tiny box it had a Victory band with several baby blue and white Thessian diamonds.
"Shepard? Oh goddess are you asking what I think you're asking according to your human customs?"
"Yes Liara, I am." She smiled, "Liara T'Soni... Will you marry me now and forever more?"
"YES!" Liara said as Shepard placed the ring on Liara's ring finger on her left hand then they had a long passionate kiss.
"Ah Commander is this where I should stop recording this romantic moment between you two?" Glyph asked.
"Yes," Said Liara as she then used her omni-tool to send his program elsewhere, then She kissed Jane again as she closed the door to have their own private celebration alone together.
Morning I woke up with Kaidan's arms around my waist, my head could have been better but as I started getting up Kaidan woke up and used his omni tool to check my condition.
"Well morning Doctor Alenko." I teased.
"Smartass."
"And what else about my ass? Biotic Badass?"
"Whoa," he chuckled then replied, "I like that."
"Get used to it," I spoke, "So let me guess aspirin?"
"Sylvie suggested since you and I both have a L2 that we have our meds rather than aspirin." He said taking out from his pants pocket what looked to be two tiny epipen that looked more like a tool to test the air in tires. One of them had my name on it while the other had his on the pen.
"Well, hit me with you're best shot dude." I said, looking away from the pen he held, then grabbing ahold of the fabric of the bed we slept on.
"You're still scared of needles are you?"
"Kaidan I've been poked and prodded all my life... I have my days when I can and can't control it."
"Ah Melly I've finished like seconds ago, you can look my way now."
I looked at him embarrassed, "Oh ok... I barely felt that."
"That's the point of it's design you're not supposed to feel it," He chuckled, "Don't worry I won't tell anyone."
"As long as the bad guys don't find out I'm good." I spoke, "Kaidan."
"Yeah?"
"Look can you help me get the crew up after we find Shepard?"
"What is it?"
"We have a mission and we need to work together on this one because the future of Humanity depends on it. Both us and the Normandy we need to save the find and save Humanity's next Human Ambassador to take Udina's councilor position on the council."
He nodded, "When did you get the mission?"
"From my sister."
"Makes sense now that she'll be the Human councilor's Alliance Advisor... Is that what her title is called?"
"Pretty much I still need to get a chance to talk with my brother in law Benton."
"Makes sense. How do you like your eggs?"
"So we're taking turns cooking?"
"I'd thought you might like that."
"I greatly appreciate that thanks, but I won't be surprised if we have to team up to cook for everyone eventually."
I saw Shepard and Liara exit out of their room as Kaidan and I found them. I saw the ring on Liara's hand, "Welcome to the Family Liara."
"Thank you Commander er I mean Melly," She blushed, "Shepard told me you had found the blue diamonds for my ring during one of your missions as Shepard used it and you're contacts to make the ring out of the band EDI gave her."
"I just happened to be in the perfect spot at the perfect time when I saw it."
"When I visited the Bonaventure ages ago I saw that and all I can think of was how'd you love to see that since you told me those were your favorite despite how rare they were. Like you said Melly you have better luck in finding rare gemstones than anyone else I know."
"Glad to help."
"Are you the last Hansen not engaged?"
"Shep don't jinx me please!" I said, "Not that you did that to me but it happened before."
"Melly you were like in your early 20's yeah no although that person made you fear marriage for a while."
"Yeah..." I spoke, "Well let's get everyone up and you can break the happy news."
"Right."
"Ah Melly you almost got engaged?"
"Eh... Twice... The first guy was considering it when I was 23 as I felt I was too young he was the same guy who cheated on me behind my back and the other well he died shortly after I proposed to him... I never got a answer but I was sure he said yes... He was buried with the ring I got for him that was a long 5 years ago."
Kaidan gave me a big hug, "I'm sorry to hear that."
"What about you?"
"Well mom did give me her ring that my father gave her when he asked her the question I never got to ask a lady the question."
"A word of advice Kaidan, keep things simple and you can never go wrong with that." Said Shepard.
"Good to know."
