Author’s notes: This is the 25th chapter in my fanfic about Captain Megan Shepard and her beautiful lover, Miranda Lawson. I’m really disappointed that the last chapter only got THREE (seriously?) reviews, but at least Megan and Miri got engaged after such a long time, so I’m not so depressed. Unfortunately…some asshole hacked my YouTube account and deleted it...but…I haz new channel! So here’s the NEW link to the video of Megan and Miranda making love: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPx43Qqw1X8. That said…REVIEW ALREADY!

“Oh! That’s probably Samara here for our meditation session!”Captain Megan Cassandra Shepard said with a start when the doorbell for their cabin sounded as she unwillingly extricated herself from Lieutenant Commander Miranda Anne Lawson’s embrace. “Well, we should get ready then.”The brunette smiled at her fiancée who had gone to answer the door. As expected, the asari Justicar was waiting at the door wearing her usual impassive expression. “Captain Shepard. Miss Lawson. “She greeted coolly as she was invited into the cabin by the redhead. “I believe I’m actually Miss Shepard now.”Miranda smiled coyly, immediately grasping and holding Megan’s hand as soon as the Spectre rejoined her.

“Of course, Miss Shepard. Today I’m not going to meditate with you. Instead, I will impart what little I know about marriage and having a family to the both of you.”Samara smiled as the engaged couple smiled shyly at each other. “Well…thank you Samara. Someone as wise as you should have quite a lot of advice for us.”Megan smiled as she motioned for Samara to sit on the couch, which she did along with the Captain and her fiancée. “While my marriage and happy family life is far behind me, I still remember those times and I will gladly share what worked for me with the two of you.”The asari matriarch continued as both Megan and Miranda listened to her intently.

“Firstly, I think the both of you should know by now that no matter how much you love each other, arguments will always happen. The fight and the cold war that follows may last days, maybe even weeks, but no matter what, you both are still in love with each other. Forgive and forget, and don’t bring the matter up. It will always result in more arguments.”Samara advised the couple, who glanced at each other and sniggered, knowing full well that they’d been through what Samara had talked about. “Well, that’s quite a change from your usual ‘no forgiveness for the transgressor, only justice for him or her’ manner, no offence intended.”Miranda laughed as Samara looked at the raven-haired beauty in amusement.

“No offence taken. Also, I believe that makeup sex is an outlet for punishing your spouse, so there is justice in the end.”Samara deadpanned, but her blue eyes were dancing with mirth. Both the skipper and the XO of the Normandy burst into laughter at Samara’s very sexual joke, but they silently agreed with Samara about what she said. “But in all seriousness, learn to forgive each other. Your mutual love will grow when you forgive each other. You will trust each other more and you will long to be near to each other.”Samara finished as she sipped on a glass of water before starting on a new topic. “There are always more arguments at the beginning of the relationship. Don’t let it get you down, because those arguments are the ones that strengthen your bond with each other.”

“I know I may sound stupid, but is there any way to avoid arguments?”Megan asked as Samara shook her head in disagreement. “Shepard, nobody is perfect. Thus, no couple can completely avoid arguments. Actually, you should learn to embrace arguments. It means that your bondmate has substance and stands for something. That is an excellent bondmate, for one that agrees with you all the time may prevent arguments, but that bondmate will not satisfy you as they do not stand for anything, which is why they fall for everything. As bondmates, the both of you need to constantly challenge each other so as to become better and stronger individuals.”The asari continued softly as Megan and Miranda just nodded, still holding hands.

“Of course, challenge does not mean antagonizing each other. It means that whenever there is a difference of views, the both of you will debate and agree on a compromise in the end. Although there are some differences that are hard to solve and will cause rifts in your marriage, the two of you can overcome anything together. You must keep communicating; otherwise your relationship will break down. The bond between bondmates like you is the most precious, most sacred bond of all. Cherish the bond with your lives, Captain Shepard and Miss Law-Shepard.”Samara quickly corrected herself as both human women continued listening intently.

“Most definitely Samara. I’d gladly give my life for Miranda.”Megan smiled as she leaned against her beautiful raven-haired fiancée, who did the same. “I’d gladly give my life for you too, Megan.”Miranda smiled tenderly at Megan, who smiled back with a coy radiance that made the XO’s heart flutter. “You don’t need to go to such extremes just to prove your love to each other. Even the simple act of embracing each other every morning and every time you’re home alone with each other is enough. But it is good to hear that you would make the ultimate sacrifice for each other. This would make the smaller sacrifices like giving in to each other a much easier endeavor.”The Justicar said, leaning back into the sofa.

“Also, you must support each other unconditionally all the time. Trust is invaluable in a bond like yours, and supporting each other is the best way to reinforce that trust is to offer your support to the other. Let each other know that you will protect and support your bondmate no matter what, and that your bosom is always open for her to rest upon after facing the world. I believe that the human expression that best sums this up is ‘having each other’s backs’. Always offer your comfort and solace if she needs it, but never judge her. That is the quickest way to kill a bond. Never judge nor condemn your bondmate for anything she has done. At the very most, a talk or two about the situation before moving on will suffice.”The asari matriarch counseled.

“Now, let’s talk about having children.”Samara changed the topic as both Megan and Miranda opened their mouths to speak up at the same time, but Samara cut them off by raising a hand before she interjected. “I know two human females cannot conceive naturally, but I suppose there is some method of artificial fertilization.”Samara replied as Miranda nodded. “Yes, there is actually. It takes the DNA from one of the partners, inserts it into artificial sperm before inseminating it into the other partner.”Miranda informed Samara as the Justicar nodded in understanding. “Do you want children, Shepard? What about you, Miss Shepard?”Samara addressed the two lovers as they nodded.

“Yes, I would definitely love to have children with Megan. But the Reapers are going to arrive soon, and-”Miranda babbled in a rush before Samara gently cut her off. “Miss Shepard, if you really want children, nothing can stop you from having them. Do you really want children with Captain Shepard?”Samara asked as Miranda nodded without hesitation. “Yes, I would most definitely want children with Megan no matter what.”The brunette exclaimed immediately as Megan squeezed her hand tighter at the admission, touched by the love her fiancée had for her. “Oh Miri…I love you so much. Yes, it would make me so proud and joyful to have children with you baby.”Megan sniffled, her eyes tearing up with unshed tears of pure joy as Miranda smiled and cupped the redhead’s face.

“Children are a very beautiful blessing from the Goddess. Treasure and cherish them, and always remind them that they’re always loved by you and that you’re always proud of them no matter what. You must always make sure that your children feel loved and welcomed in your family.”Samara advised the couple, her voice faltering as she remembered the happy times where she, her bondmate and their three children were still a happy, loving family. “Samara, we understand that this is a very hard topic for you to broach, so if you want to skip the topic, we wouldn’t mind at all.”Megan spoke sympathetically as Samara shook her head.

“It is fine, Shepard. I want to continue giving you advice.”The Justicar said softly before clearing her throat. “As I was saying, never make them feel like they’re condemned for doing something wrong. It will worsen the relationship between parents and children, and the children will shun their parents in favor of anyone who will accept them and make them feel like they’re not condemned.” “Then how do we discipline our children and avoid making them feel like we condemn them?”Megan asked the Justicar, who smiled slightly in response. “When you discipline your children, you must do it impartially and you cannot let them see that you’re angry at them. After disciplining them, you must reassure them that you still love them even though they have erred and tell them that you disciplined them because you don’t approve of the action that got them disciplined.”The asari answered sagely.

The Justicar continued dispensing her advice on children to Megan and Miranda for awhile more before she took her leave, citing that she needed to return to her meditations. After she left, Megan grabbed Miranda in a passionate embrace as she rested her head upon the brunette’s ample bosom. “Hey babe, when do you want to start making babies?”The redhead asked innocently as Miranda chuckled and gently smacked her forehead. “You arse. We’ll do it after we’re done at Arcturus, okay?”Miranda replied fondly as she stood up and headed for the mess. “What a tease…you’re going to pay for that later, Miss Lawson!”Megan retorted as she followed Miranda into the lift just as Joker announced that they were an hour from docking at Arcturus.

When they arrived in the mess, they found most of the crew congregated there, chatting away and just waiting for the Normandy to dock at Arcturus before they would help out in loading the supplies. Jacob and Kasumi were busy whispering to each other with huge grins on their faces when Megan and Miranda entered the room, but that slipped the couple’s eyes as Thomas began to engage them in conversation. “Hey Shepard, could you please requisition these when we’re at Arcturus? These will make the heat dissipation more efficient and speed up the dissipation rate on the Thanix. Also, it’s going to pack a bigger punch per shot.”The Brit grinned, already mentally picturing the havoc and destruction he could wreak with the upgraded Thanix as he handed Megan a datapad containing the list of resources he needed.

“Mhm, sure thing Tom. I’ll see if they have that and I’ll upgrade that cannon of yours.”Megan chuckled as she saw the shit-eating grin on the sniper’s face, and Miranda started sniggering uncontrollably from both Tom’s grin and Megan’s unintended double-etendre. “What?”The redhead asked her fiancée defensively when she turned to face Miranda. “You do realize that what you just said sounded so wrong, right?”The XO smirked as Megan paused to think about what she said for a split second. “Oh God! Miri! What’s with you and your gutter mindedness? Get your pretty face outta there!”Megan groaned as Miranda’s wicked smirk just grew wider as she pulled out a seat for herself to sit at one of the mess tables.

Miranda joined in the chit chat as Megan went to get a cup of coffee for herself and a mug of tea for her brunette before she joined her crew at the table. Thomas, Ken, Jentha, Garrus and Jack were playing Skillian Five, and going by Garrus’ and Jack’s expressions, they were in the lead. Thomas, on the other hand, seemed to be losing the most money out of the five judging by how pissed off he looked. Erin was watching the game intently (she’d been banned from playing Skillian Five by the crew as she kept winning every single game she played, and everyone else felt that she would always win because she was a supercomputer in human form) and even doing a whispered color commentary as everyone else spectated the players while taking a sip of their drinks.

It took another half hour for the game to finish, and Garrus was the biggest winner. Thomas ended up being the biggest loser, ending the game 1200 credits poorer, and he slumped back against his chair and groaned in frustration as Chloe leaned over to kiss her boyfriend on the cheek to try and cheer him up, which worked. “Hey everyone, I’ve got an announcement to make.”Jacob spoke up loudly as the entire mess hall fell into silence. “As you all know, Kasumi and I have been together for a few months now. And well…she’s 3 months pregnant.”Jacob finished with a grin as the entire mess broke out into cheers and applause. “Not bad Jacob! You the stud!”Thomas chuckled as he clapped Jacob on the back as everyone started coming forward to congratulate Jacob on being a father. After the congratulations died down and the chatter returned to normal, Jacob approached Megan somewhat uncertainly.

“Shepard, I…uh…me and Kas need some time to settle down, get married and get a new house, y’know, the whole 9 yards-” “Don’t worry Jacob I understand. Take all the time you need to settle down with Kasumi first, and then you worry about us. I’ll get some people to replace you and Kasumi in the meantime.”The redheaded Vanguard smiled reassuringly at her subordinate as he let out a relieved breath. “Thanks a lot Shepard. We’ll leave only after your wedding.”Jacob informed Megan, referring to the wedding Megan and Miranda were going to hold on Earth in another 2 months, exactly a month and a half after Megan first proposed to Miranda. “Sure thing Jacob. Oh and by the way, congratulations! Is your baby a boy or a girl?”The redhead smiled as Jacob grinned. “A boy and a girl, Shepard. I’m fathering twins!”The black man grinned, ecstatic that he was the proud father of twins.

“Oh my god! You potent bastard!”Miranda teased, joining the conversation and handing Megan a cup of coffee, which the redhead gratefully accepted with a kiss on the brunette’s cheek as a form of thanks as they burst into laughter. “By the way Mr. Taylor, I do believe that Samara has some good advice on raising kids to dispense to you.”Megan informed Jacob as the biotic’s eyes widened in surprise. “Oh really? She’s giving advice to me on how to raise kids…waitaminute…she gave you two the talk earlier on, right?”Jacob grinned at the women, who giggled in embarrassment. “She did actually. By the way, congratulations and I think you and Kasumi will be great parents.”Miranda congratulated Jacob, elated that her ex-boyfriend had finally moved on and found happiness.

The chatter continued until Joker announced over the intercom that they were ten minutes from docking at Arcturus, and upon hearing the announcement, the crew dispersed and headed back to their stations as Megan and Miranda headed up to the cockpit for the final approach to Arcturus. “I can’t believe that it’s been three years since I last was deployed from here.”Megan whispered as Miranda smiled softly and held her redheaded fiancée’s hand. “Long time huh? Wow…the Orizaba looks really mean.”Joker whistled lowly as the starboard side of the 5^th Fleet’s flagship came into view of the Normandy. “I’ll say…wait. That’s the Orizaba?”The Vanguard gasped in shock as Miranda, Erin and Joker turned around to look at the Captain. “What’s wrong?”Erin asked as Megan regained her voice. “My mom’s the skipper of that ship! Joker, turn around and get us the hell out of here!”

“I can’t! It’d be in violation of several intergalactic spacefaring laws, and every single turret, launcher and ship in Arcturus will be firing at us!”Joker protested as he held the Normandy’s course steady for a docking approach. “Why? So what if your mom is the skipper of that ship and she’s here?”The XO asked Megan as she groaned in dismay. “Miri, there are some things about me that you’ll never understand, and this is one of them.” “I take it that you and your mom don’t get along well Shepard.”Erin interjected as Megan shook her head. “No-no-no, I love my mom deeply and she loves me deeply too. It’s just that…it’s fucking complicated.”The Spectre sighed in frustration as Thomas, Jacob, Garrus, Ashley, Chakwas, and a few other crewmembers arrived on the CIC deck and stood by the airlock, waiting to disembark and begin the resupply process as Megan stood right in front of the airlock door.

“What’s the rush skipper?”Ashley asked as Megan wheeled around to face both her chuckling fiancée and her slightly confused crewmembers. “My mom is here, and if I’m lucky, I might just be able to slip off this ship and hide from her!”Megan hissed as Miranda burst into a fresh round of giggling. “Whoa…is it really that bad between you and your old lady?”Thomas asked as Miranda snorted in derision. “No, it’s just that she has a phobia of her mum despite the fact that both Megan and her mum love each other very much.” “Then…”Jacob cut in…trying but failing to work out why Megan was trying to escape from her mother. “Look, it’s fucking hard to explain, okay?”The Spectre growled, shuffling about impatiently as there was the distinctive hiss of the depressurization process as the Normandy’s airlock connected to the dock.

“See you soon, and if my mom asks about me, I was never onboard!”Megan instructed the crew in a panicked tone as soon as the depressurization was finished, and she smacked the open panel to reveal none other than her mother, Commodore Hannah Shepard, standing there with her arms crossed. “Oh sh-uh, ma’am!”Megan stammered in a fluster as she quickly snapped into a salute as her crewmembers behind her did the same. “Oh Megan, that’s not how you greet your mom! Come here!”Hannah chuckled as she grabbed Megan in a tight embrace and planted a kiss on her daughter’s cheek as Megan returned the hug. “Hey mom. Long time no see.”Megan smiled as she extricated herself from her mother’s embrace and Hannah regarded the crew with a salute. “At ease, people. I’m just here to see my daughter.”The Commodore smiled at the assembled crew, who assumed at ease positions before she dismissed them.

“Megpie. Do you know how much I’ve missed you? First, you go off running after that Saren guy, and then I heard you were dead. After that, I heard that you were dead and I heard rumors that you were alive. Hell, I even saw you with my own eyes on the Citadel a year back. Not once did I get a single call or a message from you, and I had to find out that you were actually dead before Cerberus resurrected you from a goddamn news channel.”Hannah reprimanded Megan, who looked sufficiently chastened about neglecting to contact her mother. “Megpie? Really?”Thomas whispered to Miranda, who smiled as she remembered the time she stayed with Megan as a teenage girl and how the older Shepard would always address her only daughter by that affectionate nickname, and Megan would always chafe at the use of the nickname. Wow, Commodore Shepard still calls her that. Guess I have a new nickname for Cassie.

“I’m sorry mom; it’s just that this past year has been absolutely insane. I died, got brought back to life, then ran around the galaxy recruiting an entire platoon of excellent combatants, and finally went into a suicide mission against the Collectors at their homeworld in the centre of the galaxy and survived with no fatalities. Also, I-”Megan recounted before her mother interrupted her. “But still, I’m pretty sure that you had some downtime. Hell, I’m pretty sure that it doesn’t take more than a few minutes to send me a message.”Hannah snorted at her daughter’s lame explanation before Megan continued. “Like I was saying, I also met this wonderful woman who will be your daughter in law in about another two months. Here she is mom.”Megan beamed as she gestured at Miranda, who smiled radiantly at Hannah as she stepped forward.

“Hi Commodore Shepard, I’m Lieutenant Commander Miranda Anne Lawson, Captain Shepard’s XO and her fiancée. You may remember me better as the young girl who stayed over at your house 20 years ago.”The brunette laughed as she shook hands with Hannah. “Oh my goodness Miranda, it’s you? What a coincidence! You’ve grown from an adorable teenager into a really beautiful woman since I’ve last seen you! How’d you become my Megpie’s XO?” “Well…it’s a really long story, and I’ll tell you when we’re comfortable.”Miranda replied as Hannah chuckled. “Sure, let’s go to the mess. I’d love to meet the crew.”She said with a mischievous twinkle in her eye as Megan started to panic. “Actually that’s not a good idea. Let’s just go up to my cabin. I can get coffee sent up there too.”Megan babbled in a rush as she quickly led her fiancée and her mother to the lift and just as she was about to press 1, Hannah reached out and pressed 3 instead.

“Mom, that’s not where my cabin is, it’s on deck one.”Megan gulped as she reached out to cancel the lift’s movement to deck 3, but Hannah swatted her hand away. “Oh Megpie, what’s wrong with your mother getting to know your crew?”The Commodore gently chided Megan as Miranda, who was completely unaware of the cause of Megan’s panic but had noticed how oddly her fiancée had been behaving in the last 5 minutes, spoke up. “Exactly Megpie, why are you so resistant to your mum getting acquainted with the crew? Let her meet the crew ok?”Miranda grinned at Megan, teasing the redhead who seethed at her. Suddenly, Miranda felt a sharp, intense pain coming from her buttocks and she squeaked out loud at the pain and whirled around to face Megan, who was typing intently on her omnitool.

“What’s wrong, Miranda?”Hannah queried as she turned around to see what made her daughter in law squeak so loudly. “Miri hurt herself on thin air once again mom. Nothing to worry about, right Miri babe? Right?”Megan hissed through a faked smile as she glared at Miranda, who just scowled back as she raised her omnitool to see that she had a new message from the redhead. It read: You’re dead Miri. You’re banished to the couch for the next two weeks! Hate you- Megan

Miranda’s cerulean eyes widened with incredulity as she reread the message to make sure that her eyes hadn’t deceived her, and when she’d confirmed that she hadn’t seen things, she glared at Megan just as they stepped out onto the crew deck and headed for the mess. It was relatively quiet there as most of the crew were currently in the cargo bay taking inventory of the supplies coming aboard the Normandy, and Megan and Miranda would also be there if it weren’t for the crew persuading the engaged couple to leave the loading of supplies to them and just have a good chat with Hannah. Only Kasumi, Jack, Crewmen Rolston, Matthews, Hadley, Patel, Goldstein and Yeoman Kelly Chambers were sitting in the mess, making small talk as Hannah, Megan and Miranda walked in.

20 minutes later, most of the Normandy’s crew was gathered around the mess table where Hannah, Megan and Miranda were seated at, and they were all roaring with laughter as Hannah regaled them with tales of Megan’s childhood as Megan kept her face buried in her hands as her mother embarrassed her with tales of her childhood. “So anyways, it took us 6 hours to find her and drag her back to the room for her jab. And I found her hiding in a dress in the clothing store!”Hannah laughed along with the crew as Megan groaned out loud. “Mom, stop! You’re killing my reputation here! How the hell will they follow my command in the future if you’re going to keep embarrassing me?”The redhead whined as Miranda cut in. “Megan, we’ll still loyally follow your command. It’s just that we have something to blackmail you with now.”The brunette smiled slyly as the rest of the crew guffawed.

“Har har Miri. Very funny. A whole month on the couch for you then.” Megan grumbled as Hannah hugged her daughter closer. “It’s ok Megpie; nothing shameful about running around the house in nothing else but your black panties while screaming ‘na-na-na-na-na Batgirl!’ when you had your first drink of alcohol at your 16th birthday party. I got that on video too!”Hannah smirked as she beamed the video for everyone to see on her omnitool as Megan’s eyes widened in horror. “Mom! How could you!”Megan shrieked in horror as the high-definition footage of a teenaged Megan running through her house naked save for a pair of black panties while screaming ‘na-na-na-na-na Batgirl!’ played from her mother’s omnitool as Thomas choked up with laughter. “Oh bloody hell…everyone in the galaxy should see this. This is pure gold!”The Brit half-snorted, half-laughed as he watched the video.

“Wait, wasn’t she under aged then?”Jacob managed to guffaw out as Hannah smirked and shook her head fondly. “Well, a couple of Megan’s friends snuck in a lot of alcohol despite me expressly telling them not to, and by the time I found out, my little Megpie was already like that.”The Commodore grinned at her daughter who was glaring daggers at her. “Mom. Stop with the nickname. And stop telling my crew all my dirty little secrets. Please!”Megan gritted out through clenched teeth as Hannah smiled and decided to have pity on her only daughter. “Oh all right then sweetie. Well, tell me what you’ve been up to with the crew over the past year then.”The elder Shepard requested as she leaned back in her chair and sipped at her mug of coffee. “Sure. So, I wake up prematurely when Miranda and Cerberus were still resurrecting me, and it felt like utter hell. Then, Miri comes into my view…”Megan began, elated that her mother had finally stopped embarrassing her in front of her own comrades.

More than an hour later, Hannah bade farewell and the best of luck to the crew before she headed up to her daughter’s cabin with both her daughter and her daughter in law to have a private chat with them. When they arrived at Megan’s cabin, Hannah looked around her daughter’s cabin and let out a low whistle. “Damn Megpie, first it was me and your dad who spoiled you, then it was me and your stepdad, and now it’s this ship. You spoiled little brat, you!”Hannah laughingly teased Megan, who simply rolled her eyes and went “Yeah-yeah-yeah, nag-nag-nag, whatever.”The redhead grumbled before she squealed at her mother pinching her arm. “Ow! What’s that for?”The Spectre whined, glaring at her giggling fiancée as Hannah waggled a finger at her. “Behave yourself Megan. Otherwise I’m gonna live on this ship with you and teach you some manners.”

“Jesus mom, that hurt like hell. Damn.”Megan sighed as she nursed the sore spot. “Well Mrs. Shepard, take a seat.”Miranda smiled, gesturing to the couch as Hannah chuckled. “Honey, its Hannah to you. Cut that Mrs. Shepard crap out, I’m your mother in law.”The older brunette chuckled as she sat herself down, followed by her daughters. “You never did tell me how you came to work for Cerberus Miranda. I never thought that’d you’d be an operative for a listed terrorist organization.”Hannah began as Miranda inhaled deeply. “Well, it’s a very long story. My father abused me all throughout my childhood and I finally decided to run away with half sister, Oriana Janine Lawson, who happens to be 16 years my junior and she was intended to replace me after my father disposed of me. So before I actually ran, I contacted one of my father’s liaisons with Cerberus and offered my services to them in exchange for protection for both me and my sister.”

“Goodness. I had an inkling that your father was abusing you when you stayed with us, but I had no idea that he was such a bastard.”Hannah interjected before Miranda continued. “Yes, he covered his personal life up pretty well. When I told you that I was genetically enhanced, that was not really true. I’m actually a product of genetic engineering. So everything from my cells to my hair are all genetically engineered, and engineered to be the best. I guess you could say that I was something of a freak.”Miranda let out a small, derisive laugh as Megan hugged her closer and got Miranda to face her. “Miranda, you’re all natural. You’re a hundred percent human, just like me and my mother. And I love you no matter what.”The redhead murmured tenderly to her fiancée as Miranda smiled back. “I know that Cassie, and I love you too.”

“Anyways, I finally ran away from my father and was separated from my sister, who was put into a foster family by Cerberus. After that, I ran a good few research projects as well as a few wetwork ops for Cerberus before I quit a few months back. I ran one of those ops with Jacob Taylor, whom you’ve just met, and he saved the Citadel from a batarian bioterror attack.”The Sentinel continued as Hannah’s eyes widened in surprise. “Really? Cerberus saved the Citadel and nobody knows? How?”The Commodore asked as Megan cut in. “Well mom, the old Council couldn’t have one of their avowed enemies saving their pathetic asses now, could they?”The Spectre snorted as Hannah raised an eyebrow at her daughter’s cynicism. “You really hated the old Council, didn’t you?”

“You have no idea. Especially the turian asshole. God, he was a complete sonofabitch. Garrus is so completely different from him that you’d think that he and Garrus weren’t even of the same species.”Megan sighed. “Don’t worry Hannah; Cassie hates the new Council just as much.”Miranda teased as her fiancée just returned her ribbing with a playful growl. “Damn it Megpie, I never raised you to be an anarchist.”The elder Shepard quipped as both of her daughters burst into laughter before she continued. “So Miranda, you said that you ran wetwork ops for Cerberus before you quit right? Why don’t you regale me with one, if that’s fine with you?” “Sure Hannah. This assassination was a long time ago when I was still relatively new to Cerberus. Get comfortable, cause it’s a long story.”Miranda smiled.

24 year old Cerberus Operative Miranda Anne Lawson strutted towards the private room in Spirit, a posh nightclub for the very wealthy and powerful on Palaven with a good deal of added sway to her hips. It was where her mission, Karven Linolas, was seated at and awaiting her arrival. Miranda was assuming the guise of a high class stripper/escort in this particular mission. The Cerberus operative’s mission was to assassinate the corrupt turian politician, who in the past few months, had been saber rattling by instigating anti-human sentiments and helping the turian military to compromise and destroy several Cerberus cells in order to bolster his re-election campaign as Naval Operations Hierarch. The irony about the whole situation was that he was a surprisingly well-closeted human fetishist who regularly had sex with human women.

Thus, after several weeks of painstaking intel gathering and recon, Miranda decided to exploit his one weakness to accomplish her mission. The young brunette was feeling nervous as this was her first field mission, let alone an assassination mission. Her previous assignments with Cerberus had all put her in either an intelligence operative or researcher role, and she had no experience with field missions, let alone solo missions. “I can do this. It’s not going to be that hard to kill this bastard.”She inhaled deeply as she entered the room to see the shady turian politician seated comfortably on the sofa with a glass of some turian alcohol Miranda couldn’t identify. “Where’s Carina, and who might you be?”Linolas enquired as he took a sip of his alcohol. “I’m Yvonne, and I’m here in place of Carina tonight. She’s sick with a bad case of dextro poisoning.”Miranda smiled sultrily at the turian as a part of her felt like throwing up.

What Miranda didn’t mention was that she’d replaced Carina’s salad dressing with a dextro paste that looked similar, and all the Cerberus beauty had to do was just to wait for the food poisoning to kick in and for poor Carina to call in sick. Miranda felt absolutely bad for poisoning the redhead, but she had to get her out of the way so she could accomplish her mission. She reminds me a lot of Cassie, the brunette thought fondly with a twinge of heartache as she remembered the beautiful redhead she met a decade ago and how she never contacted her, when she first saw Carina and interacted with the vivacious redhead.

“That’s a shame. Are you new here? Because I don’t believe that I could’ve not noticed such a stunning and sexy woman such as yourself if you’ve been here for long.”The turian grinned lecherously as Miranda fought down the urge to gag. “Yes sir. I’ve only been here for a week, actually.”She smiled as she began to sashay over to Linolas, who leaned back and appraised her in her fetish wear, which consisted of a pair of red high heels that were so high Miranda had problems moving fast in them, a standard issue Alliance dress blouse that was modified to expose Miranda’s generous cleavage, and a ridiculously shortened Alliance dress skirt that was barely more than a belt now, and all of her clothes had the Alliance emblem on it. Miranda was dumbfounded when the madam of the club, a completely disinterested turian female, issued those clothes for her to wear. She simply couldn’t believe that a club would stock something like that for its girls.

Fortunately for Miranda, she could still wear her own underwear, and she went with the most conservative set of lingerie she had, which was a plain, scarlet red cotton bra and matching cotton boyshorts. “Well Yvonne, why don’t you shake that ass for me hmm? Lap dance for me.”Linolas growled, his voice low with his arousal as Miranda snapped off a fake salute. “Sir yes sir! At once sir!”The brunette did as instructed, clambering atop the lusty turian politician. According to instructions given to her by the madam, Miranda had to address Linolas as ‘sir’ at all times as it was his request. Recalling the lap dance training she underwent before embarking on her current mission, Miranda began to lift herself up from her seated position on the turian’s lap till she was kneeling upright with her knees still straddling his lap.

Miranda then began to slowly gyrate her hips while she raised her left hand and placed it against the back of her head while she used her right hand to caress the turian’s mandibles. Linolas began to reach up to unbutton her blouse, but Miranda slapped his hand away with a naughty smile. “Patience sir, I will get to that in good time.”The Cerberus beauty smirked as she continued to dance like that for a few more minutes before she undid her blouse to give Linolas an unobstructed view of her cleavage and her plain, virginal bra. Miranda then sank down lower so she could begin to grind against Linolas’ crotch, and she could already feel his erection at full mast there. The urge to puke right there and then nearly overcame Miranda, but she somehow fought it down and continued grinding as she gently pressed her large, bra-clad breasts to his face.

Time for the big show, Miranda thought with a deep breath as she stealthily removed the Sykes-Fairbarn commando knife that Security Chief Casey, a grizzled former N7 marine and current Cerberus security chief, had given to her as a gift when she was pulled from her former assignment as the chief research assistant to a project that was working on an extremely strong hallucinogenic gas that affected batarians and made them kill their own comrades. As the old marine had put it, “You need a damn good knife to kill one of those turian fuckers, and there’s nothing better than this World War 2 knife. Trust me, I know what I’m talking about. I killed a good few bastards with this baby right here on Shanxi.”The Chief had grinned and pressed it into Miranda’s hand over her protests. Somehow, Chief Casey knew everything despite not being told much.

Miranda pulled the knife from her panties just in time, as Linolas immediately grabbed her buttocks and kneaded them harshly through the fabric of her skirt and boyshorts, making the Sentinel gasp in pain. After recovering herself, Miranda leaned forward and began to caress the turian’s fringe with her left hand, making him purr in satisfaction as she stealthily brought her right hand, which held the unsheathed knife, behind Linolas’ head without the lusty politician noticing. “Keep going Yvonne…daddy likes it like that.”Linolas growled as Miranda smirked and plunged the knife into the back of his head below the fringe, which was instant death for any turian. Linolas’ dead body slumped forward onto Miranda as she left the knife in and laid him down on his side before checking his stats with her omnitool. “Thank you Casey.”Miranda whispered in gratitude when she saw that Linolas was dead.

The Chief had also taught the brunette how to kill a turian cleanly with just one blow, and she’d practiced the knife maneuver with him extensively before embarking on her current mission. Miranda waited for slightly more than a minute before she gently extracted the knife from the back of Linolas’ head so as to prevent any significant amount of blood from seeping out of the wound. The busty brunette then cleaned the knife off on Linolas’ shirt, smearing it with his own blood before she resheathed the knife in her panties and put on her blouse. “You disgust me, you filthy bastard. Also, nobody makes me call him daddy and gets away with it. Not even my own father.”Miranda spat, adding air quotes to her last word before leaving the room. The assassination was so smooth and successful that Linolas was only discovered after she had left Palaven on one of the most luxurious turian cruise liners in a first class cabin, courtesy of the late Karven Linolas.

“Well, damn. So both my daughters are killers? I wouldn’t want to retire with you two around.”Hannah joked as Megan and Miranda burst out into laughter once more. “Anyways, where’s the knife Miri?”Megan chortled as Miranda unsheathed it from a hidden sleeve in her blouse. “Here, this is the vintage World War 2 knife that Chief Casey gave me.”Miranda presented the Sykes-Fairbarn as both Megan and her mother inspected it. “Holy shit Miranda, this is real. You’re real blessed that Casey would just give you this knife like that.”Hannah whistled lowly as she returned the knife to Miranda, who resheathed it. “Megpie, Miranda, just out of curiosity, did you two fall in love when you were living together at our mansion?”The Commodore asked as both Megan and Miranda answered with a simultaneous ‘Yes’.

“Well, wow. And you managed to reunite after all these years. Although I’ve seen you two together only today, I think you two make a perfect couple.”Hannah said sagely as both lovers nodded and a short period of quiet followed. “Miranda, do you love my daughter?”Hannah asked as Miranda looked up. “Yes, I do. With all my heart.”The brunette responded softly as Hannah turned her tender gaze to her daughter.”Megan, do you love Miranda? No matter what?”The Commodore asked as Megan straightened up. “Yes mom I do. Even if Miri were to suddenly change into a man, I would never stop loving her.”Megan replied with steel in her voice as Hannah smiled. “Excellent. Then now go forth and procreate!”The elder Shepard laughed as Megan and Miranda blushed furiously. Secretly, Megan was overjoyed that her mother and her fiancée were getting along so well, and that her mother approved of Miranda.

“Mom! I swear you’re purposely trying to embarrass me every single time!”Megan cried out in dismay as Hannah struggled to restrain her laughter. When the Commodore managed to stop laughing at her daughters’ expressions, she spoke up once more. “Miranda, I want to thank you for bringing this dumb daughter of mine back to life with every single gram of her stupidity intact. I love her so very much.”Hannah started chuckling once more as Miranda returned an evil grin of her own, restraining her fiancée who was trying to smack her mother for teasing her. “I should thank you too Hannah. If you didn’t raise Megpie the way you did, I would’ve never met this dumb bimbo ever again.”Miranda laughed gratefully before she squeaked when Megan elbowed her in on her ribs. “Ah good grief, I can already tell you two are going to be a wonderful couple.”Hannah choked as she half-gasped, half-giggled at her daughters’ antics.

“Miranda, I’ll leave my Megpie in your good hands. Take good care of her for me, ok?”The Commodore snickered as the brunette Sentinel smirked wickedly. “Of course Hannah, I’ll take good care of Megpie. As a matter of fact, she can’t live without me. ‘Oh Miri! I can’t live without you! I need you by my side to complete me! I love you so very much!’”Miranda cried in a high pitched voice, melodramatically parodying Megan as she put the back of her right hand to her forehead and pretended to faint as she slumped onto the couch as Hannah teared up with her laughter , and Hannah’s laughing fit only got louder when Megan savagely pounced Miranda and began to tickle the XO senseless. “Alright, cut it out you two.”The elder Shepard chuckled as Megan and Miranda broke apart and sat upright, panting heavily.

“Oh by the way mom, Lieutenant Taylor and his girlfriend, Miss Goto, who’s the nice Japanese lady you met just now, are leaving my ship as they’re about to become parents. I need someone to replace them.”The redheaded Spectre informed her mother. “No worries Megpie, I’ve already got two people in mind, but they’re still in the Academy. Can you wait another 3 months or so?”Hannah asked her daughter, who nodded. “Shouldn’t be a problem mom. We can cover for them.”The Vanguard assured her mother, who then began to engage her daughters in conversation about their lives and recent doings. After more than an hour of good banter, Hannah left the ship , escorted to the airlock by Megan and Miranda after bidding her daughters goodbye and giving her approval of Miranda, who was ‘a damn fine lady in just about every aspect of her person’ in Hannah’s appraisal.

“Well, I really like your mom a lot.”Miranda said softly to Megan, who had wrapped an arm around Miranda’s left arm. “Yeah, I’m so glad it went so well.”The redhead replied with a fond smile as Miranda smiled and rested her head against her fiancée’s shoulder. “Mmm. I love you so much Megpie.”The brunette beauty teased her lover with a smirk as Megan pulled away abruptly with a scowl. “Stop calling me that!”The Spectre whined plaintively as Miranda just folded her arms and cocked her head to one side, the annoyingly sweet smile on her face the whole time. “Of course, Megpie. Anything for my Megpie.”Miranda continued teasing as Megan growled. “Anything huh? Okay then, give me a lap dance later.”Megan grinned wolfishly as the grin finally dropped from Miranda’s beautiful face.

“You are such a pig, Megpie! Not a chance in hell!”Miranda groaned in disgust as Megan just smirked and turned on her heels. “Okay then Miri babe, you’re exiled to the couch for 2 months then!”Megan practically sang as the brunette spluttered in incredulity. “Wh-what! You dare? !”Miranda ground out as her fiancée looked back at her and winked. “Mm-hmm. Try me Miri babe.”Megan taunted playfully as Miranda growled and sprinted after her, causing the redhead to squeak in alarm and run.

Final notes: Yeah I know, 3 months between updates is ridiculous. Sorry guys, but my studies are squeezing the life outta me, so please bear with me as I try to pump out new chapters when I have free time (which is few and far between these days). Anyways, please review. It motivates me to write more. I’m serious guys and girls. Review NAO. Peace.
