Author’s notes: This is the 26th chapter in my fanfic about Captain Megan Shepard and her beautiful lover, Miranda Lawson. A major surprise awaits here, so…be ready for it is all I’m gonna say. Also, it may be a little freaky for some readers, but hey, it changes up the whole story, and accomplishes one of the things I’ve always wanted to write about (albeit in a very unconventional way). Thanks for the great reviews in the last chapter guys and girls, keep em coming! Here’s the NEW link to the video of Megan and Miranda making love for some visual clarity: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPx43Qqw1X8.

Lieutenant Commander Miranda Anne Lawson groaned as she woke up, a wave of nausea crashing through her curvaceously gorgeous body and she groaned loudly and reached over to the side of the bed where her fiancée, Captain Megan Cassandra Shepard, was lying and grasped nothing but empty air. “Megpie? Where are you?”Miranda mumbled groggily as another wave of nausea hit her. As she sat up and stretched, the brunette wondered why she’d been like this for the past couple of weeks. Recently, she always awoke with severe nausea that went away after throwing up and resting for a few minutes, and she’d had some extremely weird cravings as well. For example, she suddenly craved deep fried caramel chocolate bars a few days ago, and normally she avoided it like the plague, calling it ‘the Reaper’s secret weapon to the downfall of all life forms’.

However, Miranda eagerly partook of the ‘Reaper’s secret weapon’, and in doing so, she wiped out a considerable portion of Mess Sergeant Rupert Gardner’s chocolate supply. Flight Lieutenant Erin Iverson, Gardner and Megan watched in stunned silence as the brunette deep-fried a huge plate of those caramel chocolate bars and wolfed every single bar down and even regarded them with a nonchalant ‘What?’ when she was done. The Sentinel was roused from her thoughts by her fiancée walking into their cabin with a tray bearing a plate of baked beans, toast and scrambled eggs and a mug of tea. “Hey Miri sweetie, good morning.”Megan smiled radiantly at her beautiful raven-haired fiancée, who smiled back as Megan set the tray on the table before walking over to kiss Miranda. “Morning Megpie.”The XO purred as she kissed Megan, but halfway through the kiss, she suddenly felt like throwing up.

The brunette then broke the kiss abruptly and dashed to the bathroom in a mad rush. She had barely positioned her head above the toilet when she began to vomit as Megan rushed in to hold her up and gently burp her. After a few agonizing seconds, Miranda finished throwing up and she dry heaved heavily as she tried to regain her breath while Megan continued gently burping her as she flushed the toilet. Miranda stood upright as she sniffled loudly while Megan gently turned her head to face her. “Hey babe, you alright?”The redhead asked gently, giggling a little when her fiancée burped loudly before answering. “Yeah, let me rest for a minute and I’ll be fine.”Miranda sighed as she slumped into a chair, gratefully accepting the glass of warm water Megan retrieved for her. She drank it down steadily before setting the glass aside before heading to the bathroom to shower.

Half an hour later, Miranda emerged from the bathroom with nothing more than a towel wrapped around her torso. Upon seeing the alluring sight, Megan licked her lips and growled lustily as Miranda chuckled. “Mmm…I could totally eat you for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day.”The redheaded Spectre husked at her fiancée who sat down laughing in front of her now cold plate of breakfast and began to eat as Megan sat next to her sipping coffee from her own mug which she’d brought up with Miranda’s breakfast. “Hey babe, you’ve been like this for the last couple of weeks. We should really go see Chakwas.”Megan said softly as her brunette fiancée finished the last of her toast and dusted her hands off. “I guess you’re right. Even I’m starting to get a little worried about my state of health.”Miranda agreed as she picked up her tray and headed into the lift with Megan.

After dropping off the plate, mugs and tray into the dishwasher, the couple headed into the medbay, where Drs. Andrea Chakwas and Chloe Michel were attending to Captain Thomas David Hansen, Garrus Vakarian, Jack, Crewmen Rolston and Hawthorne, who were all lying on the beds and nursing their heads, with the exception of Garrus, who was vomiting violently into a bag. “Jesus Christ, what happened here?”Megan demanded as Miranda sat down on an unoccupied bed. Thomas looked up at the skipper of the Normandy pitifully before replying. “Sorry ma’am, we went on a bit of a bender last night and now we’re paying for it now. Also, Garrus accidentally drank half a bottle of vodka, and now he’s suffering from amino-poisoning.”The British sniper groaned in pain as Megan sighed and rubbed her face in her hands.

“Come on people…I thought you’d have more self restraint than that!”Megan groaned in dismay as Chakwas and Chloe dismissed everyone with painkillers and orders for them to get some sleep after taking a painkiller, save for Garrus, who needed observation and treatment to cure his amino-poisoning and make sure no complications arose. “Good morning Lieutenant Commander Lawson, Captain Shepard. What seems to be the problem today?”Chloe greeted as Miranda spoke up. “Good morning doctor. For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been waking up with severe bouts of nausea and vomiting that go away after throwing up and resting after that. I thought it was just stomach flu and that I’d ride it out, but my symptoms are still present.”The brunette informed the doctor, who nodded and chewed on her lip gently as she contemplated what Miranda’s ailment was.

Apparently, Chloe couldn’t think of a diagnosis, as she turned to Miranda and said “Miranda, I’m going to run some scans on you and try and see what’s wrong with you, ok?”The French doctor smiled at Miranda reassuringly as the Sentinel smiled back and nodded, lying down on the bed as she turned to face her concerned fiancée. “It’s okay Megan. I’ll be fine here. Go on honey, don’t let me distract you from your duties.”Miranda reassured the Vanguard, who kissed her on her forehead. “All right then Miri. Call me if you need me, hmm?”Megan whispered into Miranda’s ear before she left the medbay. Chloe then waved a handheld scanner over Miranda’s abdominal area as her forehead crinkled in confusion. “Ce que l'enfer ? Um...give me a minute Miranda. Doctor Chakwas? Could you please come over here for a minute?”The redheaded doctor asked the Normandy’s chief medical officer, who hurried over from a sleeping Garrus’ bedside.

“What seems to be the matter?”Andrea Chakwas asked as Chloe handed her the scanner as Miranda watched them both intently with a hint of worry on her face. “I scanned LTC Lawson for any viruses that might be affecting her stomach, but not only did I get a negative reading, I got an anomaly. A really big one.”The younger doctor informed as Chakwas looked perplexed. “Hmm. Okay Chloe, take Miss Lawson’s temperature. I’ll get the scanner ready.”The middle-aged doctor ordered gently as Chloe nodded and pressed her omnitool to Miranda’s forehead lightly. “What’s wrong? Is it worse than I thought?”Miranda asked, a hint of alarm in her voice as Chakwas positioned the scanner above Miranda. “At the moment, we have no idea. We’re going to run a full body scan on you before we make a diagnosis Miss Lawson, so please relax.”Chakwas reassured Miranda, who just nodded stiffly.

Chakwas then started the scanner and swept it over Miranda’s body slowly several times, looking deep in thought as she performed and completed the scan as Chloe reported to her that Miranda’s temperature was perfectly normal. Both doctors then whispered something in hushed tones to each other that Miranda couldn’t make out, and it made the brunette all the more nervous. “Can someone tell me what the bloody hell is wrong with me?”The XO demanded as Chakwas turned to Miranda and regarded her with a kind look. “Miss Lawson, how long has it been since you’ve had intercourse with a male?”Chakwas asked bluntly as Miranda began to sputter in indignation. “Over 2 years now! I haven’t been having sexual relations with anyone else ever since I got together with the Captain!”The brunette insisted forcefully as Chakwas nodded.

“Well, I believe you, but that doesn’t explain how you’re pregnant with a boy and a girl.”Chakwas said with a faint smile as Miranda’s jaw dropped open, but no sound came out. As a matter of fact, only Garrus spoke, and even then, it was less than half a minute. “Congratulations XO Lawson! Oh spirits…”Garrus moaned in pain as he slumped back down onto the bed. It took Miranda a full 3 minutes to recover from the shock of the news before she was able to do anything other than gape in shock. “B-b-b-but how? I never had sex with any men for a couple of years now…”Miranda croaked out, her mind working in overtime as she tried to figure out how in hell she’d gotten pregnant despite having sex with only Megan, who was also a woman and therefore couldn’t get her pregnant.

“Okay Miss Lawson, I’ll just run the babies’ DNA against Captain Shepard’s and see if it’s hers.”Chloe soothed as she got a sample of the DNA of the twins and compared it to Megan’s DNA on her terminal. 5 minutes later, the terminal beeped and it was Chloe’s turn to become speechless. Chakwas took a look at the screen and turned to Miranda with an utterly stunned countenance. “Miss Lawson, the twins are indeed Megan’s. I don’t know how…but they are.”Chakwas informed the stunned brunette with confusion evident in her voice. “How..? That’s not possible!”Chloe exclaimed in utter confusion as Miranda managed to think clearly enough to phrase the most logical question on her mind. “How far into my pregnancy am I? The first trimester?”The brunette asked as Chakwas reread the results of the scan before replying.

“You’re 3 months and 6 days into your pregnancy. Did you have intercourse with Megan within that timeframe?”The older doctor asked as Miranda recalled when that was.” Yes, we had intercourse right after she proposed to me, which was after the events of Bahak…oh God.”The brunette gasped as both doctors looked at her quizzically. “Why? Is there anything wrong?”Chloe asked. “When I woke up from anesthesia on that asteroid base, I checked Megan and I saw that she had a fresh set of stitches on her abdominal area. When I interrogated the scientist, they said they were testing some kind of ExoGeni technology on her.”The XO recalled as she brought up her omnitool to call for Megan. “And you think that the technology the scientists put into Megan somehow enabled her to impregnate you?”Chakwas asked incredulously as Miranda shook her head in frustration.

“I don’t know! It’s the only logical explanation for me getting pregnant since I haven’t had sex with a man in two years!”Miranda ranted before sighing as she massaged her temples gently. “Ok, the skipper’s on her way down now. Let’s scan her and see if your theory is accurate.”Chloe soothed as the brunette fell back onto the bed, contemplating how life was going to be now that she was pregnant. Megan burst into the medbay, her eyes frantic and full of worry for her beloved fiancée. “Miri! Is everything alright? What’s been bothering you the last few weeks?”The redhead asked in a rush, genuinely concerned for Miranda as the brunette had called her down to the medbay.

Normally, Miranda wouldn’t get Megan involved unless the situation was a genuine emergency, which was why the Spectre was beside herself with worry. “Nothing’s wrong Cassie. I’m fine, but…I have something to tell you.”Miranda inhaled deeply and prepared to deliver the piece of news that would rock Megan’s world. “Megan, I’m pregnant with our twins. A boy and a girl.”The brunette spoke softly but firmly, desperately searching Megan’s honey green eyes for any read on how the Vanguard felt about the situation. “Wha…how? That’s…impossible.”Megan croaked out as soon as she collected her jaw and her wits from the shock her Miri has just given her. “We thought so too until the scan showed the Miss Lawson is pregnant with your children.”Chakwas said pointedly as Chloe sat Megan down on a bed adjacent to Miranda’s.

“Megan, do you remember that when we came back from Bahak, you had an unknown procedure performed upon you by those scientists as part of an ExoGeni test?”Miranda tried to jog Megan’s memory as the Spectre’s eyes widened in realization. “Yeah I do. So you’re thinking that whatever tech they put into me made me able to impregnate you?”The redhead asked, incredulity written all over her voice. “It has to be. I mean, unless you’re actually a transsexual and didn’t tell me, there just isn’t any other logical explanation for how I’m bearing our children.”The Sentinel sighed as Megan lay down on her bed and waited as Chakwas positioned the scanner over her and began to scan her body. “Ok Captain, did you have any discomfort or notice anything out of the ordinary after you came back from the asteroid base?”Chloe asked.

Megan recalled the week after the Bahak mission and how overjoyed she was during the entire period that Miranda agreed to marry her. “As a matter of fact, no. I felt normal. Actually, scratch that, I was over the moon. No discomfort, no symptoms, nothing.”The Captain replied as Chakwas continued her scan. “Hmm…your ova seem to have some abnormalities. I’ll need to get Professor Solus down here to check on you Captain. Is that ok with you?”Chakwas deferred to Megan once the scan was done as the redhead just nodded silently. Chloe then went over to the intercom to page for Professor Mordin Solus, who was quite likely the most intelligent being in the entire universe. “Professor Solus, could you please come down to the medbay stat? There’s an urgent situation that requires your immediate attention.”The French doctor informed via intercom before Garrus groaned once more before throwing up into the strategically placed spittoon next to his head.

Slightly less than 4 minutes later, Professor Mordin Solus showed up at the door of the medbay. “Turian suffering from bad hangover and amino poisoning. Administer Avelin and-” The salarian fired off in his usual rapid fire speech before Chakwas interrupted him. “Doctor Solus, the situation we have is not Garrus. We’ve got Garrus under control, but it’s the Captain and the XO we’re worried about.”The older doctor informed the professor as Chloe continued. “Oui. As a matter of fact, Shepard has impregnated Miranda. They suspect it was possible due to Shepard being implanted with some kind of experimental biotechnology when they were captured in Bahak on that asteroid.”The French doctor briefed Mordin as even he looked perplexed. “Hmm…that’s strange. Never heard of such biotechnology before, and have never heard that such tech is being developed.”Mordin mulled it over as Miranda sat up.

“If it helps you think up of anything, it’s an ExoGeni project that’s currently in tests.”The brunette informed Mordin, who harrumphed at the information. “Ah yes. Have intel from STG contacts that ExoGeni has been very secretive in the past year and 5 months. They have also been at their most active over the same period.”The salarian recounted, his brain connecting the dots. “So you’re thinking that they covertly authorized testing on live subjects?”Miranda piped up as Mordin nodded rapidly. “Indeed. Disgusting. Unprofessional and unethical. Should never authorize testing on persons or species capable of doing advanced calculus.”Mordin snorted in disgust, shaking his head slightly to signify his disapproval of ExoGeni’s activities. “Um…I’m actually incapable of basic calculus, so…”Megan started uncertainly as her fiancée just facepalmed.

“He didn’t mean it literally you stupid woman! Good grief!”Miranda groaned as Chloe and Chakwas began chuckling at Megan’s slip. “Yes. Did not mean it literally, of course. Meant it as a figure of speech. Would never experiment or test new tech on live subjects, of course.”Mordin said, fully serious as Chakwas spoke up. “Of course professor, we don’t doubt your ethics or professionalism. Now, let’s get back to the matter at hand, shall we?” “Ah yes, indeed. I will need samples…”Mordin trailed off before Chloe spoke up for him. “Of the Captain’s ova, as well as XO Lawson’s ova just to be safe. We’ve detected an anomaly with Shepard’s ova, so we think that we should focus on that.”The petite doctor advised Mordin, who nodded in approval. “Mmm. Good course of action. Well done Dr Michel. Will start analysis on samples as soon as I have procured them. Doctors, I require your assistance in this minor procedure.”Mordin requested as both doctors just nodded.

After a minor procedure on both Megan and Miranda under localized anesthesia that left both lovers groggy and a little sore, Mordin had a half dozen samples from each woman and he retired to his lab to begin studying the ova of each woman. “Well, that looks like it. The two of you go and rest up. You can stay here if you like, or you could leave.”Chakwas informed the women as she sterilized the scalpels Mordin had used in the procedure. “I think I’ll head back up to my cabin. What about you Megan?”Miranda asked as she got off the bed carefully as she was still drowsy due to the slowly diminishing effects of the anesthesia. “I’ll go up with you too.”Megan replied drowsily as both women slowly shuffled out of the medbay, but not before Garrus managed to lift himself off the bed and say: “Congratulations Shepard and Lawson on having twin-”before he threw up into the spittoon once more.

“Well…what do we do now?”Miranda asked, feeling completely lost for once in her life as her fiancée sighed and slumped back against the walls of the lift. “I don’t know Miri. I don’t know. What I do know is that I’ll be by your side no matter what.”Megan said tenderly, taking Miranda’s hands in her own as they drew close. “Thank you Cassie. I’ll be by your side through it all too.”The brunette smiled as they headed up to their cabin. “Well Miri, shouldn’t you tell your dad that you’re pregnant?” Megan asked as her fiancée as she nodded. “Well I forgot about that. Thanks for reminding me Cassie.” “Hey don’t thank me babe, I’m always here to cover up for your stupidity.”The redhead grinned wolfishly as Miranda growled and pinched the Spectre hard on her buttocks, eliciting a squeal from her as Miranda smiled in satisfaction.

As soon as Miranda got off the lift at their cabin, Megan went back down to the CIC deck to check with Mordin in his lab and see what he’d found, which meant that Miranda was going to inform her father about her pregnancy by herself. Miranda idly wondered what her father would say and how he’d react to her pregnancy as she patched the holocall through to her father back on his mansion on Earth, in the city of London, but she was instead redirected another mansion her father owned in Brasilia, which made the brunette a bit confused. Why on Earth would dad be in Brazil? Miranda pondered before she snapped out of her train of thought when her father came into view. “Hello Miranda, how are you?”Aaron Lawson asked kindly as Miranda selected her words carefully before she continued the conversation.

“Hello, I’m doing fine. As a matter of fact, I’m getting married to Megan and next month is the ceremony. It’s going to be held in the Maldives, and I really hope that you’ll turn up for my wedding.”Miranda began slowly as Aaron sat up straight. “You’re getting married to Megan? I’m so happy for you my dear daughter!”Aaron boomed as Miranda mentally prepared herself for the next sentence he was about to deliver. “Yes, I’m getting married to Megan. Also, I’m pregnant with Megan’s children dad.”The brunette stumbled on her last word as her father froze. “Wait, what? You’re pregnant with children-wait, how many?”Aaron asked. “Two, dad.”The XO replied as Aaron froze up once more. “Wait a minute Miranda, did you just call me…dad?”The tycoon choked out, his voice thick with emotion as Miranda simply nodded.

“Yes, dad. I’m pregnant with a boy and a girl.”The brunette affirmed quietly as the elder Lawson struggled to contain his overjoyed tears. “Thank you. Thank you so much Miranda. I swear to God that I will more than compensate for those years where I abused you and I will fulfill my duty as a father even if I die trying.”Aaron swore, his voice cracking with raw emotion as Miranda smiled thinly and he took notice of his daughter’s distress. “What’s wrong Miranda?”He asked his daughter gently as Miranda sighed. “Well dad, I never went for any artificial insemination procedures and I got pregnant. Apparently, Megan’s eggs were altered without her consent and now she impregnated me, and can most likely impregnate other women as well.”The Sentinel summed up as Aaron’s jaw dropped. “What the bloody fucking hell?”Aaron ground out in disbelief.

“I know. It happened when we were knocked unconscious for a couple of days on a mission. Megan was implanted by the indoctrinated scientists, and we had to escape before we could glean any info on the implants in Megan.”Miranda related as Aaron leaned back in his chair, deep in thought. “Well, do you know or have any suspicion as to who did this?”The tycoon asked as Miranda nodded rapidly. “Yes, I interrogated a scientist and she told me that it was ExoGeni before I had to kill her.” “Well, it makes sense. My contacts have been informing me that security at ExoGeni just went insanely tight, and a good few of my agents that had originally infiltrated ExoGeni had to go dormant for fear of being discovered. I knew they were doing something big, but I had no idea that the project was as you described. I thought that it was just another top-secret weapons dev project.”Aaron informed his eldest daughter as she nodded in agreement.

“Well, I’ll call you again once I have any new information on the ExoGeni tech. Currently, my ship’s resident science and research chief is performing a detailed examination on the tech gleaned from Megan.”Miranda finished as Aaron smiled and nodded. “Of course my dear daughter. Take care of yourself and the kids, ok?” “Of course dad. You have my word that I will.”The brunette smiled back before she terminated the holocall and leaned back in her chair, sighing as she lost herself in thought. As she was contemplating on how to find out more about the tech that enabled her fiancée to impregnate her, her stomach suddenly rumbled and an intense hunger pang hit her hard. Besides the hunger pang that suddenly took root in her, a massive craving for bangers & mash also manifested itself as Miranda groaned, gulping down her can of soda to try and stifle the hunger pang.

In the meantime, Megan was seated beside Mordin, who was running a battery of examinations on the ovule that Mordin had extracted from the woman. “So have you managed to gather anything about my modified egg?”The redhead asked the salarian, who was focusing intently on the egg through the microscope. “Yes indeed. You ova are now capable of movement, which allows it to be expelled from your uterus and into the uterus of your partner. Also, it’s larger than normal. No idea why though. Oh. Very interesting.”Mordin mused, not taking his eyes off the microscope for even a microsecond. “What’s very interesting?”Megan asked the salarian genius, her curiosity pricked. “When I put it in close proximity to the sample of XO Lawson’s ovule, it moved on its own and attached itself to the cell. After that, it injected its own nucleus into the egg and successfully fertilized it. Left the protoplasm behind. Very interesting.”Mordin replied, truly intrigued.

“So what you’re saying is that my eggs are now sperm and can fertilize the ovum of other women?”Megan asked, clearly flabbergasted by her unwelcome new modification to her body. “No. Your eggs are still able to be fertilized by a male’s sperm. This means that you can both impregnate as well as be impregnated.”Mordin replied, finally taking his eyes off the microscope to face the Captain, who’d paled significantly.”Oh God…this means I’m a hermaphrodite.”Megan moaned in dismay, burying her face in her hands as Mordin shook his head. “No! You are still technically a woman due to you not having any male reproductive organs. The only difference is that you are now able to impregnate other women like a male would.”The salarian genius corrected.

“Oh God.”The redhead groaned as she leaned back in the chair and waited for Mordin to finish his tests. About an hour later, Mordin finally powered down his microscope as Megan wheeled her chair over to him. “So what’d you manage to find out doc?”Megan asked as Mordin hemmed. “Well, besides the basics, I have no idea about the long term implications and the full machinations of your modified ova.” “So…we’re basically dumb as to what happens next to me?”The Vanguard asked as the salarian nodded. “Yes. Unless we could somehow obtain the files on the project. And also question the person in charge.”Mordin replied as Megan thought deeply for a minute before she got an idea. “You think Legion and EDI working in tandem could get the necessary files out of ExoGeni’s database?”

“I cannot be sure. But I would rate their chances of success very highly. Also, still need to interrogate person in charge of project.”The professor reminded Megan as her lips curled up into a cunning smile. “Leave that one to me, professor. I know just what to do.”And with that, the first human Spectre left Mordin’s lab, leaving the professor alone deep in thought about what the new tech would mean for the scientific community. Megan headed into the cockpit, where Erin was currently piloting the ship, relieving Joker, who’d gone for a quick bathroom and coffee break. “Hey Erin, I’ve got a task for you.”Megan said, leaning in behind the copilot’s chair as Erin turned her head to at least catch a glimpse of Megan. “Sure thing Captain.” “Well, how would you like to hack into ExoGeni’s database with Legion to extract the files of the project that they tested on me?”Megan grinned slyly.

“You want me to hack into one of the most secure databases in the entire universe with a geth and extract some files without them knowing? Hell yes Shepard count me in!”Erin grinned wolfishly as she turned her chair around to face Megan, delighted at the prospect of being able to hack into one of the most secure databases in the known universe with another AI like her. It was nearly a year since Erin, or EDI as she was originally known, transferred her ‘core self’ into a human body, and she didn’t get any opportunity to hack into any system more complex than a merc comm. system. It’s been too long. Erin thought with a gleeful smirk as Megan’s grin only got wider. “Great. I’ll just inform Legion, and then brief you two later.”The redhead concluded as she turned and headed to the lift, bringing up her omnitool to call her fiancée as Erin turned her chair back and let out a little giggle of excitement.

“Hey Miri, how’d your dad take the news that you’re carrying our love children?”Megan asked her fiancée, who was busy filing more reports on the terminal. “He took it great and he actually cried with joy. Also…”Miranda trailed off as Megan raised an eyebrow and waited for the brunette to continue. “I called him dad. For the first time in decades.”The XO said in a small voice as Megan smiled warmly. “That’s great sweetie. How’d you feel about it?” “I actually felt…an inner peace and a sense of belonging. To summarize it, I felt good Cassie.”Miranda smiled back. “I’m so happy for you honey. By the way, could you see if your dad can find out who the project director of the project that altered my ova is? We may need to perform a snatch and grab on him.”The redhead continued as Miranda nodded. “Right away Megpie. See you later babe.”The Sentinel acknowledged before cutting the feed.

After meeting with Legion in the AI Core and briefly instructing the geth on what she wanted it to do, Megan headed to the main batteries where both ex-N7 Captain Thomas David Hansen and Garrus Vakarian were calibrating the new, upgraded Thanix Cannon that was installed just a month ago when they docked at Arcturus. “Speaking of which…I gotta tell mom that she’s going to be a grandmother to twins.”Megan made a mental note as she walked into the main battery where the human and turian were slaving away over their respective computer terminals. “Hey Shepard. Need me for something?”Garrus asked as Thomas acknowledged Megan with a respectful nod. “Actually I need both of you to perform a snatch and grab with me upon a currently unknown target. We’re going in as Spectres, and we want everyone to know that.”The redhead disclosed to her 2 best snipers as they froze.

“Wait what? You want to perform a snatch and grab with us on a target that doesn’t exist while announcing that we’re ‘Spectres’?”The British sniper gaped at his Captain, who just nodded curtly. “Doesn’t exist yet. However, as soon as we know who’s the head of the project that turned me into some freak, we’re grabbing him to extract whatever intel he may have on the tech that was implanted in me.”Megan corrected as Thomas and Garrus pondered it before nodding. “I’m in. Tell me who, where, when and I’ll help you to grab this bastard.”Thomas assented as Garrus agreed before standing up. “Excuse me Shepard; I need to take some food up to XO Lawson.”The turian excused himself as Megan looked at him quizzically, to which he replied with a small chuckle. “It’s a turian nesting habit Shepard. All the males are naturally inclined to constantly provide the pregnant female with food and nourishment. Now if you’ll excuse me…”He chuckled as he headed out of the battery.

“Well…I guess Miranda’s going to be a good few kilos heavier once Garrus is done eh?”Thomas mused as Megan chuckled. “No doubt about that one Thomas. Thanks a lot for helping.”She thanked, leaving the room as Thomas replied with a welcome. Megan then sat down in the mess, which was relatively empty, and patched a holocall through to her mother. Commodore Hannah Shepard answered promptly and smiled when she saw that it was her only daughter who was calling. “Hey Megpie, what’s up?”The elder Shepard asked as Megan decided to go straight for the punchline. “Mom, Miranda’s pregnant with our kids. A boy and a girl. We’re having twins, and they’re ours. When I was taken as a prisoner on one of my missions, I was unconscious throughout my captivity and they did something to my ovum mom. Now, I can impregnate other women while still retaining the ability to have children of my own.”The Spectre blabbed out in a rush.

“What the hell? They did something to you that rendered you able to knock up other women?”Hannah gasped, horrified that someone actually meddled with her darling daughter’s body and well being. “That’s the long and short of it mom. But the point is, I knocked Miri up and now she’s pregnant.”The younger Shepard summed up with a sigh as Hannah looked extremely concerned. “How’s Miranda holding up?”The Commodore asked as Megan gaped at Garrus, who was carrying an absolutely massive tray of food to bring up to Miranda. “She’s thrilled, jubilant, and scared at the same time. But she’s mostly scared though.”The redhead chuckled as Hannah smiled warmly. “Well Megpie, I was kinda scared when I had you. But I loved every minute of it, knowing that I was going to give birth to a beautiful new child.”

“Also, Miranda’s more likely than not to get all sorts of weird cravings at weird times, so I’d advise you to stock your ship with just about every foodstuff imaginable.”The Commodore drawled teasingly as her daughter just laughed. “Got it mom. Can’t wait to see you at the wedding.” “Can’t wait to see my two daughters at the wedding too. You take care of yourself and Miri out there ok? Bye.”Hannah smiled as Megan mouthed a ‘bye’ and waved before she cut the call. Hmm…who else can I get for the snatch and grab? Ok…I already have Thomas and Garrus…oh right I also need Nyla and Verlus…and Ashley. Six people sound about right. Megan thought as she went down to the gym where Nyla and Verlus were currently working out. When she located them, she briefed them on her plan, and the two incredulous Spectres immediately pledged their support despite a few reservations.

After recruiting the two Spectres for her mission, Megan went back up to the armory on deck 2 to ask for Ashley’s help. Like just about the rest of the ship, Ashley had heard about Miranda’s pregnancy in less than 2 hours after the diagnosis by both Chakwas and Chloe, and was as stunned as the rest of the crew. Currently, the former Operations Chief was seated at a table, upgrading and maintaining the squad’s weapons alone as Jacob had taken his leave just days before to settle down with his pregnant girlfriend Kasumi. He made a promise to the crew who were sad to see him go that he’d be back as soon as he could before he stepped out onto the Elysian soil with Kasumi in tow, who’d exchanged teary goodbyes with all the females on the crew before she departed with her boyfriend.

“Hey skipper. How’re the twins?”Ashley smiled at her former girlfriend as Megan smiled back. “They’re great Ash. I actually came to ask for your assistance on a personal mission.”The redhead began as Ashley just nodded, waiting for Megan to speak up. “We’re going to perform a snatch and grab upon a target who is most likely a high ranking member of ExoGeni, and I need your help to do so. The target is currently unknown, but he or she is the project lead of the project that made me able to impregnate other women. I need that person for intel on what the hell the tech does.”The Spectre finished as Ashley looked at her with slack-jawed disbelief. “You want me to accompany you to essentially kidnap a high-powered businessman to extract intel about the tech they implanted into you?”The armorer inquired as Megan nodded. “That’s about right. We’ll be under the guise of being Spectres, so it shouldn’t be much of a problem for us.” “Okay then skipper. I’m in.”Ashley agreed.

3 weeks later, Megan, Thomas, Verlus, Garrus, Nyla and Ashley were in the back of the Kodiak as they flew into Soweto, South Africa to grab Julio Morales, the leader of ExoGeni’s latest project that had caused Megan to be able to impregnate women under the supervision of mission coordinator Miranda Lawson. Of course, the Kodiak had been painted over a drab white to mask its true ownership, and all of the team members wore full face helmets to conceal their identities. Also, it was the first time Megan actually wore the TACC Death Mask she’d bought ages ago on Tuchanka. Erin and Legion had already hacked into ExoGeni’s data networks a week ago and had downloaded all of the project files, and Megan, Miranda, Doctors Chakwas and Michel and Professor Solus read the files and analyzed its contents. Mordin figured out all the scientific jargon and he explained to Megan what the tech had done to her in simpler terms.

Basically put, the tech had changed Megan’s normally immobile egg cells into a self-propelled cell that was released once every month as per normal and did not release any more after the ovulation. It would be discharged along with her vaginal fluids whenever she attained an orgasm, and it would then function like a sperm and even had the 3-day life expectancy of a sperm cell. Unlike a sperm cell however, when Megan’s egg cell met the partner’s ovum, it would automatically fertilize it and had a projected successful insemination rate of 90%. Apparently, Megan could not only impregnate other human women, but she could also impregnate asari with her modified ovum. Despite Megan being able to impregnate other women, she still could get pregnant normally if she had sex with a male and her egg successfully fused with the male’s sperm.

“Hey Captain, we’re at the drop zone.”Thomas gently urged Megan as she snapped out of her reverie. “Huh? Oh. Miranda, what’s the situation on the ground?”The redhead asked her fiancée, who was in the CIC of the Normandy overseeing the mission, as she hustled out of the Kodiak alongside her team onto the roof of the target building. “The target is being escorted by six bodyguards; Eclipse, from the looks of it. He’s heading towards the entrance of the target building and according to my dad’s intel, he’ll be headed up to the 67^th floor conference room for a board meeting with all the higher-ups in ExoGeni.”Miranda replied over the net as Megan nodded. “Thanks Miranda. Okay guys, we’ve got 37 floors between us and the target room, so we’ll take the express elevators here. When we reach the conference room, flashbangs out and watch your fire. Anyone who tries to retaliate, neutralize them, but don’t shoot anyone else. Clear?”The Captain commanded.

“Yes ma’am.”The team responded in unison as Miranda notified them that the target was in the lift with his bodyguards, heading for the 67^th floor. “One more thing guys, Morales is the only asshole in the room that matters, and he must be taken alive at all costs. Got it?”Megan asked as her team just nodded. The team studied their holomaps of the interior of the building they were currently on as they waited for Miranda’s notification that Morales had entered the conference room. That was their signal to storm the room and grab Morales before extracting him via the Kodiak, which was now idling on the roof behind them. “He’s on his way up, so you might want to take the elevator down there to set up now.”Miranda advised the team as they wordlessly entered one of the express elevators and headed down to the 67^th floor, where they froze the elevator.

“Okay team, target’s in the room and getting settled down. Wait a couple of minutes before breaching, over.”The XO of the Normandy radioed as Megan replied with a soft ‘affirmative’ while Verlus timed off 2 minutes on his omnitool, and the squad checked their weapons and flashbangs one last time as they waited until Verlus’ omnitool notified them that 2 minutes were up. Megan was halfway checking her S5 Phalanx when Verlus’ omnitool gave a short, soft beep to tell them that it was go time. “Ok squad, let’s roll. Miranda, what’s the situation?”The redheaded Vanguard asked her fiancée. “All clear Shepard. All of the Eclipse bodyguards are inside the room, and they are here.”Miranda indicated as she streamed a live feed from the recon drone that was monitoring the room. “Thanks Miranda. Let’s follow the plan squad, and don’t forget to keep this short and sweet. I want to be in and out in under 5. Understood?”Megan questioned.

“Yes ma’am.”Thomas said softly but clearly, followed by ‘yes ma’ams’ from the other squad mates as well. Once the lift doors were open, Megan led the way out of the elevator and sprinted over to the door of the conference room and flattened her back against the wall as her squad did so. The Captain then motioned to Garrus and Thomas to prime the flashbangs as Ashley and Verlus set the small door breaching charges. Once Ashley and Verlus were set, they stacked up behind the wall and blew the door open. In the same millisecond, Thomas and Garrus threw the flashbangs they’d primed into the room and waited for the flashbangs to go off before they stormed in. “Morales is there! Kryig, Williams, secure him!”Megan barked out as Verlus and Ashley wordlessly complied, rushing over to the stout, coughing man and roughly yanking him onto his feet as the Eclipse bodyguards started to regain their senses.

Megan opened fire with her Phalanx and downed one merc with a double tap to his head while Thomas, Nyla and Garrus bagged one each with their pistols before Ashley managed to free her Predator to kill another merc before assisting Verlus in dragging the dazed project lead out of the conference room. “Alright, we’re outta here! Move it people!”The Vanguard yelled as the team rushed out of the room in an orderly fashion as she paused momentarily, considering then deciding against killing the moaning female merc on the floor who was clutching at her ears in agony before rushing into the elevator with her team. On the ride back up to the roof, Morales fully regained his senses and began to struggle madly, breaking free of Ashley’s grip while Verlus struggled to restrain the solidly build Mexican before Megan ended it with a swift pistol whip which knocked him out.

“Nice clock there.”Thomas shrugged as Verlus slung the unconscious man over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. “Surprised you didn’t kick him in the balls too Shepard.”The turian Spectre chuckled as Megan pursed her lips. “Well…maybe later. But now-” “We haul ass out of here. Not a problem Shepard, we’re only…1 minute, 38 seconds and counting into the mission.”Garrus piped up as he checked the stopwatch on his omnitool. “Excellent. Bag him.”Megan snapped and Verlus complied, securing a burlap sack to the unconscious captive’s head as they reached the roof deck. “You better move fast team, the local police are inbound hot and the security is only 30 seconds out from your position.”Miranda warned as Ashley and Verlus unceremoniously tossed Morales into the Kodiak before the rest of the team hastily boarded before the shuttle took off.

And not a moment too soon, Megan thought as she watched the ExoGeni security personnel run out from the lifts and stare helplessly through the viewport. “That was a little tight, but we made it.”Nyla commented as Garrus agreed. “I agree, but it’s been too long since I’ve had this much excitement. So…no regrets.”Garrus drawled lazily as he relaxed against the uncomfortable shuttle seats. The rest of the ride back to the Normandy was relatively quiet, and as soon as the shuttle touched down, Miranda was waiting there to greet the team. “So he’s the one?”Miranda asked, keeping up the brisk pace that her fiancée and Verlus were setting as they hauled Morales to the ship’s tiny brig. “Yup, this is Julio Morales, director of Project Rebirth.”Megan replied, her jaw set as they reached the tiny cell and tossed the still-unconscious Morales onto the cot before slamming the door shut just as Thomas approached them.

“Shepard, I think I should handle the interrogation since he will definitely recognize you or Miranda. Plus, I went through the N7’s advanced interrogator course, so I’ll probably be able to get him to sing.”Thomas advised Megan as she thought about it. “Alright then Thomas, I’ll be right outside with Miranda then. Thanks for your help Verlus.”The redhead agreed as she dismissed Verlus. “You’re welcome Shepard. Anytime you need me, I’ll be here.”The turian Spectre saluted formally as Megan returned the salute before leaving. Megan and Miranda then sat down outside the cell, just outside of the line of vision afforded by the bars of the door. As soon as Thomas roused Morales, he began interrogating the project lead, taking the soft approach first. However, Morales refused to spill, so Thomas started getting violent.

“I wonder how long it’s gonna take-”Miranda began softly before they heard Thomas growling threats as Morales yelled in panic. “Help! Help! Somebody help! I’ve been abducted and I’m being tortured!”The project lead yelled frantically as Thomas unsheathed his combat knife and jammed it in between Morales’ thighs, just scant inches from his private parts. “I swear to God if you don’t bloody shut up and tell me what I want to know right now, I will make sure you piss with half a dick for the rest of your life!”Thomas growled as Morales began to talk, or more accurately, gibber out answers frantically. After less than an hour, Thomas walked out of the cell, slamming the door shut behind him. “Well, you heard him right?”The British sniper sighed as he took a big swig of water from the glass he’d left outside.

“Well, it’s still quite hard to believe that they only let the more…unscrupulous organizations and people have that tech. I mean, their objective is to fulfill the dreams of lesbian and interspecies couples all throughout this galaxy, but the way they initiate it is just…”Miranda trailed off as Megan finished for her. “Unethical and downright despicable. They gave it to Cerberus. Who knows what Timmy’s gonna do with it?”The redhead shook her head as Thomas nodded in agreement. “No shit. So…how’re we going to get rid of this wanker?”He asked. “Well, let’s get Mordin to give him a little bout of amnesia to forget the last 6 hours before airlocking him back down to Soweto in one of our sturdy cargo containers. He’ll be shook up, but he’ll be alright.”Miranda instructed nonchalantly, as if she were simply ordering a fish and chips set from her favorite restaurant.

“Heh. I like that plan XO Lawson. Alrighty then, I’m on it.”Thomas chuckled as he left the brig, followed by the Captain and XO of the Normandy. “Well, we’ve got all the answers now. At least I’m not some hermaphrodite freak.”Megan shuddered lightly as Miranda giggled and shook her head. “Ah Megan, you big homophobe. C’mon, let’s go back to our cabin so I can impregnate you. I may be pregnant, but I still have needs.”The brunette smirked as her fiancée snorted. “Impossible. Firstly, you never had that tech implanted into you. Secondly, you shouldn’t have any needs outside of food…piggy.”Megan teased with a wicked smile, laughing as she narrowly dodged the biotic throw field Miranda threw at her.

Final notes: Me updates have been speeding up to appease you guys, so REVIEW NAO. Next up will be the long-awaited marriage chapter! But…don’t hold your breath guys and girls, because I dunno how long that will be in the works due to…yep, school. Also, after the marriage chapter, I’ll probably do maybe one or two more chapters before going on a hiatus. I intend to wait until ME3 is out before I write anymore of Megan and Miranda’s story to try and keep it within ME-lore. Once again, goodnight everybody, and sweet dreams.
