Author’s notes: This is the 29th chapter in my fanfic about Captain Megan Shepard and her beautiful lover, Miranda Lawson. This is where my version of Mass Effect 3 starts, and I hope you guys will enjoy it. And if any of you have suggestions on what I could write in future chapters, please don’t hesitate to PM me. As always, here’s the link to the video of Megan and Miranda making love for extra visual clarity: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPx43Qqw1X8.

"Aww, who's a cute little baby?"Captain Megan Cassandra Shepard cooed to her 3 month old baby, Zachary James Shepard as the baby gurgled happily in response to his father's funny face. 3 months ago, Megan's wife, Lieutenant Commander Miranda Anne Shepard, had given birth to Zachary and Tabitha Rachel Shepard, who was now suckling away at Miranda's breast as the brunette, who was seated on their bed, hummed a soft tune to the baby girl. "You know, you look really stupid yet so adorable when you do that face of yours."Miranda giggled at the antics of her redheaded wife as said woman just pouted. "Yeah yeah, keep laughing. I'm teaching our babies the value of humor. If it were up to you to teach them everything, I'm sure they'd both be brilliant yet darkly repressed scientists with no sense of humor creating weapons of mass destruction for the krogans."Megan grumbled teasingly as Miranda just gave her a playful aghast reaction, tossing a pack of diapers at the Captain.

The pack connected with Megan's nose, earning a surprised squeak from her and a loud giggle from her baby boy that she was nursing. The redheaded Vanguard mock scowled at her smirking wife as she gently massaged her nose before standing up and stretching. "I think I'll take Zack for a walk around the ship while you let Tabby suck you dry."Megan yawned as she picked up her son, cradling him lovingly in her arms as Miranda smiled at her. "Okay, but don't drop Zack you klutz!" "By the way...revenge!"Megan cackled as she hit Miranda on the head with the pack of diapers before darting out of the door with the baby in her arms. "Infuriating woman! Go ahead Tabby, laugh at your poor mother who has to put up with your idiot father every day."Miranda grumbled down at Tabitha, who had stopped suckling at the brunette's teat and was now gurgling away happily at her parents' antics.

Megan's first stop was at deck three as she wanted to get some food for herself, and she knew that most of the crew would be there as well. Ever since the twins were born, the crew of the Normandy was utterly enchanted with the babies and would play with the babies at every chance they got. Chloe was now in the habit of constantly pestering Thomas about when they would be making ‘our very own adorable twins’ (in Chloe’s own words), and Yeoman Kelly Chambers was doing likewise with Garrus, and both men had the standard answer of either an embarrassed cough or “Later honey. Maybe soon.” Chakwas and Samara were like grandmothers to both twins, and even Grunt was all excited about the babies. But the most surprising discovery was that Jack was a natural with babies.

About 2 weeks ago when the Normandy docked at Milgrom, Tabitha was crying nonstop, and Samara, who had a unique way of calming wailing babies down with her biotics, was already ashore. Megan and Miranda were at their wits end as they had just fed Tabitha, her diapers were clean, she just woke up an hour before, and she was perfectly healthy according to Chakwas’ scans. Jentha, Nyla, Chakwas, Chloe, and Ashley simply couldn’t stop little Tabitha’s wailing until Jack came out from the bathroom, gingerly took the wailing infant from a flustered Nyla before rocking it in her arms, humming a tune and cooing to her. Almost immediately, Tabitha’s cries diminished in volume and after a couple of minutes, she stopped crying and started gurgling happily at the grinning ex-convict who was now sporting a hybrid Mohawk-ponytail hairdo.

“How the hell did you do that? I what you did and she just kept crying!”Megan complained in exasperation as Jack kept rocking Tabitha. “I dunno. Shit, I’m probably what they’d call a natural with babies. Ain’t that right, sweetheart?”Jack grinned at Tabitha, who giggled happily at her biotic aunt. After that incident, whenever Megan and Miranda couldn’t get their babies to stop crying, they would look for either Jack or Samara, and surprisingly enough, Jack enjoyed seeing the babies and tending to them. “I just like kids. Maybe it’s something to do with making sure they don’t end up like me, but all I know is that little babies make me happy.”The ex-convict grinned off-handedly in response to Miranda’s concern that the babies were bothering her as she kissed Zachary on the forehead, making him squeak with glee.

As the doors opened, Megan nearly ran into Crewwoman Zoe Patel who was entering the lift. “Oh hey Captain! Hey there little cutie!”Patel laughed as she ruffled Zachary’s sparse clump of hair before heading into the elevator as Megan returned the greeting. As she approached the mess, she saw Verlus, Erin, Samara and Chakwas seated together eating and chatting. The turian Spectre was the first to see Megan approach with her baby, and he waved at her. “Shepard. You brought Zachary, I see.”Verlus announced to his companions as he chewed on his food. “Hi guys, Zachary missed you all, so he asked me to bring him down here to see you guys.”Megan joked as she gently set Zachary down into his high chair and strapped him in before she took a seat. “Hello little Zachary. You look so very radiant today.”Samara cooed softly as she patted Zachary on the back while Chakwas kissed him on the crown of his head.

“Even though the gestation and formation of a baby is very well documented and very scientific, it is still amazing and nearly incomprehensible for a baby to be born the way it is.”Erin remarked as she made funny faces at the baby boy, who squealed in mirth at the robot-turned-human’s expressions. “How did you learn to do all those comedic expressions Erin?”Chakwas asked Erin as the blonde smiled back. “I picked it up several months ago from a series of old shows, the main one was Mr. Bean and there were 6 other shows I have learned human facial expressions from.”The Normandy’s copilot answered as Chakwas just nodded, looking slightly amazed that the supercomputer had managed to emulate facial expressions so well from just a few comedy shows.

Just then, Kelly walked into the mess hall and spotted the baby. "Ooh Zackie! Aunt Kelly missed you sooo much!"The yeoman cooed to Zachary, who perked up and squealed in delight at the sight of his aunt. The redheaded psychologist cuddled the baby for a minute before she gently placed him back into his high chair and went to join the line which consisted of nobody else but Megan to grab her lunch. Both redheads then sat down and began to eat. "By the way, where are Thomas and Garrus?"Megan asked Chloe and Kelly respectively as she chewed on her pasta. "They're both in the main battery, calibrating the weapons systems again."Chloe replied as she giggled at Zachary, who was being carried by Samara as she hummed a tune to him.

"Hmph. I seriously wonder if they're calibrating the weapons in there, or if they're getting into all sorts of trouble in there. They almost never come out of that room."Megan harrumphed as Kelly choked on her pasta for a second before she recovered. "Shepard, you did NOT just go there."She groaned as Chloe and Chakwas did a spit-take on their coffees, Erin stared at her, Verlus choked on the last of his meal, and Samara just stared at the yeoman with a disapproving and mildly repulsed look and a sigh. "Kelly, she didn't mean it like that! Your mind is quite perverted!"Chakwas exclaimed as Kelly found herself dumbfounded for once in her life. "I think I'm now scarred for life. Thanks a lot Kelly."Verlus coughed as his mandibles twitched wildly in a display of disgust.

"I find myself being glad for Zachary here that he does not understand a single word we are saying."Samara sighed in mild repulsion as she continued cuddling said baby while he looked at her curiously, as if though he wanted to know exactly what was going on around him. "Well...I'm sorry to scar everyone here. I...well, I misunderstood Megan's meaning."Kelly apologized meekly as she continued eating. "Kelly, I know you fantasize about Garrus like that a lot. But please, just don't mention it in front of us, thank you very much."Megan sighed, her half consumed plate of lunch now somewhat unappealing thanks to the mental picture Kelly had put into her mind.

Just then, Miranda came into the mess hall and eyed everyone there with a quizzical expression, wondering why they either looked repulsed or had their faces buried in their hands while Kelly was just quietly eating her meal. "What just happened?"The brunette XO asked the crew as Erin spoke up. "Kelly just put a very unfortunate and repulsive image into our minds."The blonde android sighed as she got up to go for more coffee. "And that was in response to me saying that Garrus and Thomas always seem to be inside the main battery calibrating the weapons, and I wondered if calibrating was just their slang for getting themselves into all sorts of shit."Megan continued as everyone just nodded.

"Well, when you phrase it like that, I can't blame Kelly for getting that idea. Thank you Gardner."Miranda smiled at the Normandy's resident cook, who just smiled and nodded, as she brought her plate of pasta over to the table and sat down next to her wife. "Still, she didn't need to vocalize it like that, right?"Megan sighed as she continued to eat her pasta somewhat listlessly. "And you didn't exactly need to say it like that, right?"The brunette asked through mouthfuls of pasta. "I give up. I'm gonna go check in on those two jokers."The redhead sighed, finishing up her pasta and placing the plate in the dishwasher before she headed to the main battery. A small part of her dreaded that Kelly's prediction would be right, but she pressed on anyways.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw both Thomas and Garrus seated in front of the screen watching an interspecies porno with a female human dressed in Alliance uniform and a male turian in Empire uni-oh God. "Oh! That's nasty! Kelly does this to you everytime?"The Brit asked upon viewing one particular scene as Garrus nodded with a shit eating grin. "Yes she does. It drives her absolutely wild, and…well, it gets me to pop my heatsink in record time."The turian vigilante chuckled as both men brofisted. "Not bad mate. I gotta teach Chloe this trick."Thomas whistled as Megan slapped her hands on their shoulders and leaned in between them.

"Are you two actually watching porn while on the job? Now I think I know what you two perverts mean when you say 'calibrations'."Megan boomed sternly in her 'Captain' voice as both men literally jumped out from their chairs. "Oh shit, Shepard! We um...ah...we were just taking a break from calibrating! We were calibrating asses- no, I meant the...uh..."Garrus blathered in a panic, tripping over his words and desperately closing the vid as Thomas continued. "Yeah! We were calibrating the...uh...Javelin missiles! Then I got sent this in a junk email! It was from...from Jok-Erin! It was her idea of a joke I guess!"Thomas laughed nervously as Megan eyed the two snipers accusingly.

"Right...EDI, well, Erin, sent you this porno in a joke email...mm- hmm..."Megan purred teasingly as both men just nodded rapidly as she continued to watch them both squirm. Suddenly after a half-minute of awkward silence, the door opened and Erin appeared at the threshold, her arms crossed with a slightly offended expression on her face. "Captain Hansen, I did not ever send you a 'joke email' that contained this particular porno which is the third scene from 'First Contact Fuckwar'. In fact, it belongs to Officer Vakarian here, and according to your playlist, your next video is your very own 'Alliance Bang Team Six- Going Commando' which you bought last month, and next up is ‘Captain Shaggard- Rear-End Assault-"

"Alright, alright! It's Garrus', and we WERE watching porn on the job."Thomas confessed as Garrus hung his head in shame at being caught in the act. Every single military in the galaxy had two rules- number 1 was that if you did something against protocol, don't get caught; and number 2 was that if you got caught, never admit to the deed. Unfortunately, given Erin's threatened divulging of all of Thomas' pornographic purchases, the British sniper had no choice but to admit to the misdemeanor. "'Captain Shaggard-Rear End Assault'? What the hell is that?"Megan wondered as she opened up the terminal, found the video and played it, much to Garrus and Thomas' horror.

"Nononono-oh fuck."Thomas gulped as Megan saw a spitting image of herself go through some atrocious acting of taking out a bunch of smugglers before her CO asked her to come back to base as there was a group of informants who had the location of the smugglers main hideout. "Why the hell does this woman look exactly like me?"Megan wondered as Erin spoke up. "This is Rebecca Shaggard, a pornstar who underwent extensive plastic surgery to look like you."The blonde informed helpfully before she turned to leave, leaving Megan alone with a very panicky Thomas and Garrus. After some more terrible acting where the krogan and two human informants refused to divulge the info, 'Commander Shaggard' promised to lapdance and fuck them if they gave her the data, and the porno started and Megan's green eyes bulged out upon seeing her doppelganger getting fucked in the ass by the krogan and the other two satisfying themselves with her other orifices.

"What...what in the hell is this?"Megan started when she found her voice, gesturing towards the screen where 'Commander Shaggard' was still being gangbanged. "Well, um...Joker shared this with us, and we found it funny, so...yeah."Garrus muttered slowly, fearing for his life and manhood as Megan turned to glare at him. "Oh really? You're blaming Joker now? First Erin, now him?"The redheaded Vanguard began incredulously before Thomas cut in. "We're serious! You can check Joker's 9 zettabyte porn collection if you don't believe me."The sandy haired biotic blabbered in a panicked rush. "NINE zettabytes?! Are you shitting me?! And you guys...you...I thought you guys were responsible enough not to slack off on the job, but you watch porn!"Megan sputtered in outrage.

"I...you two are on cleanup and bathroom maintenance for the next two months. Verlus will replace you two in maintaining the weapons. And for the love of God, stop watching porn while on the clock. The CO that's replacing me is probably gonna just throw both your asses into the brig."The Captain sighed as she deleted all of the porn videos on the terminal as Thomas and Garrus breathed a small sigh of relief, elated that they were still alive and had their manhoods intact. "Yes ma'am. Thank you."Garrus rumbled gratefully as Megan opened the door. However, before she left the room, she activated her biotics and squeezed the life out of both Thomas' and Garrus' manhoods, earning pained howls from them as she left.

The pained yelping of the 2 men caught the attention of Miranda, who had just deposited her dish into the dishwasher and was now nursing a yawning Zachary. "What went on in there? Were those two mucking around and sleeping on the job?"The brunette Sentinel asked her wife who huffed in frustration. "Those two dickheads were in there watching porn! And the worst part was, they had porn of some pornstar that looks and acts exactly like me!"Megan spluttered in complete disgust and a small hint of anger as Miranda just raised a perfectly sculpted eyebrow. "Oh? Should be rather interesting to watch then, I bet."The Lieutenant Commander teased with a small smirk as Zachary finally fell asleep in her arms.

"Not funny at all Miri. Why the hell would anyone even want to make a porno of me? I mean, there are better looking women than me out there, and-"Megan began before she was interrupted by Miranda. "Firstly, you're a galactic celebrity who defeated the one of the Reapers and saved the Citadel. Secondly, you're beautiful enough, and thirdly, your arse is fantastic."Miranda smirked at her wife's irritated growl. "Be serious Miranda!" "Oh, but I was being very serious...Megpie."The brunette continued teasing; using the pet name that Megan hated so much.

Megan simply growled and hugged Zachary before storming away to the cockpit to check in on Joker and see if the ace pilot did indeed have a copy of 'Commander Shaggard'. As soon as the lift door opened, Megan brushed past Kelly, who was left hanging with her mouth still open and several crew members who were taken aback at the Captain's rush. Kelly just shrugged and returned to her reading of 'Kamasutra for Interspecies Lovers' on her terminal. When Megan reached the cockpit, she saw Joker frantically tapping away at his holographic interface as Erin just looked at him with mild amusement. "Jeff, you do know that deleting those videos doesn't actually get rid of them, right?"The blonde asked.

"I know that Erin! I just need to get them off the list so that Shepard doesn't find out about my porn-" "Aha! So it was you, wasn't it?"Megan hissed loudly as she slammed her palms down on the backrest of Joker's chair. "Oh shit...I'm well and truly fucked, aren't I?"The pilot groaned as Megan just nodded, getting a giggle out of Erin. "So, you were the one who bought the 'Commander Shaggard' vid and passed it to both Thomas and Garrus, weren't you?!"The redheaded Spectre growled as Joker started trembling. "I...no! I never had that vid! They're lying!"He babbled in a panic as Megan's eyes narrowed into dangerous slits.

"Erin, recover all the files that he's deleted. Now."Megan commanded the blonde android harshly as she just nodded and pulled up all the files that Joker had deleted. "Oh crap."Joker whimpered under his breath as Megan took a quick look at the porn vids before turning back to him. "Alright I admit it! I did pass 'Commander Shaggard' to Tom and Garrus! I had the video!"Joker cried in defeat as the Captain spun his chair around so he could face her. When Joker finally saw Megan face to face for the first time since she stepped into the cockpit today, all the blood drained from his face when he saw how pissed the Savior of the Galaxy was. Megan's green eyes were tinged with red, her entire face was all red, and her nostrils were flared alarmingly wide.

"Okay okay I'm sorry I downloaded that vid! It was really, really hot and it was at the number one most downloaded porn vid for 4 straight months! I couldn't resist!"The pilot tried to explain but Megan was having none of it. "Yes you could've not downloaded it! I...ugh!"Megan exclaimed in frustration as Joker just wisely kept quiet. "Alright Erin, please delete all of Joker's porn and please stop him from watching porn while he's supposed to be flying the ship."The redhead sighed in finality as she turned to leave. “Yes Shepard, I will. I told you she’d find out about that Joker.”Erin smirked in triumph, deleting all of Joker’s porn as said pilot just scowled at his blonde girlfriend. “Yeah yeah, you win.”He groused as Erin slipped into a seductive pose. “You know, I’m right here if you ever feel horny, Jeff.”She purred in her most sensual voice that never failed to send shivers up Joker’s spine. “You’re going to be the death of me, Erin.”

“What’s wrong Megan? You look pissed, with a capital ‘p’.”Kelly asked the Captain with concern as she strode onto the command deck. “Thomas, your beloved boyfriend, and Joker have all been watching porn. While on the damn job.”Megan growled in frustration as Kelly shook her head in commiseration. “While I understand that they’re incredibly bored sometimes, watching porn isn’t the way to pass the time. And Garrus…he’s still watching porn after he has me?”The psychologist sighed unhappily as Megan nodded. “Yeah. Apparently, he applies whatever he watches in those vids to your sex-forget I said anything.”Megan caught herself, mentally kicking herself for slipping like that as Kelly’s face virtually lit up. “Really? He’s watching those vids to learn new tricks. Oh. My. Gawd! I think-”Kelly gushed happily before the Vanguard interrupted her. “Drop that thought and kill it with fire now, yeoman!”

Kelly just pouted at her fantasies being abruptly killed by the Captain as she was starting to get some very vivid ideas. "Alright Kelly, I'll be going to check in on Mordin. As you were, and please, no porn."Megan sighed as she walked off to the lab, her frame slightly hunched with exasperation. When she entered the lab, Mordin had an old earth opera playing on full blast, and it just so happened to be the crescendo of the song, and the male singer was going at full blast. "Christ Mordin, that's really loud! Could you please turn it down?"The redhead yelled as the salarian professor quickly complied. "Ah yes Shepard, how can I help?"He asked rapidly as Megan eyed his terminal, which was displaying a scan of the Reaper object that Megan and her team had destroyed about 3 months back. "Have you managed to learn anything else about the object?"The Vanguard asked.

"Have managed to learn only a few things. Have discovered that object behaves in a similar manner as a geth central server. Husks are only husks if they are within proximity. If husks move out of effective radius, they will return to normal after a period of time. Lack of Dragon's Teeth certainly supports theory."Mordin buzzed as the doors opened to reveal Miranda carrying Tabitha, who was gurgling away loudly in amusement at Legion, who was rapidly flapping his headflaps at the baby. "There you are. Zachary’s asleep in his crib, and Tabby was pestering me to let her out. I heard you relegated Thomas and Garrus to cleanup boys for the next couple of months over the porn incident."The brunette said, more a statement than a question as Legion looked at Megan. "The tendency of organic males to indulge in the viewing of pornographic materials when mentally understimulated is 83.56317 percent. Also-"The geth began before Megan cut him off. "Okay thanks for the stats Legion, that's more than I wanted to know."

"Pornography designed to appeal more to males than females. Possibly because of the nature of male dominated societies-"Mordin began before Miranda stopped him. "Thank you very much Mordin, but you were telling us about the Reaper device?"The brunette gestured with her chin to the terminal as her hands were full with her daughter. "Ah yes. As I was saying, Reaper device acts as a control beacon. If subject is within effective radius for long enough, subject will be indoctrinated. However, once subject moves out of influence, subject will return to normal."The professor informed them as Miranda nodded, deep in thought. "So these beacons act as indoctrination and control nodes. But what about those who've been huskified on Dragon's Teeth?"She asked.

"Have not researched on that possibility yet. Not sure of outcome."Mordin admitted. "Mordin-Professor has concluded that Reaper artifact functions in a similar manner to geth central server. If this theory is true, the combat capabilities of already indoctrinated organics would most likely be enhanced."Legion offered as Mordin mulled on it before nodding. "Yes, yes, that is feasible. Hmm. Have to run simulations. Have to find another similar Reaper object. And already indoctrinated forces to test and verify theory."Mordin rattled as Miranda shook her head. "I'm sorry professor, but that's probably not going to happen. It's too risky to control the experiment, let alone the variables."The Sentinel objected as Mordin's eyes narrowed.

"Hmm. You're right LC Shepard. Too costly and risky to maintain full control of experiment. Also, have to factor in researcher safety. Pity."Mordin sniffed in regret. "Plus, I don't think that we could find another Reaper object like the one on Aequitas. Well, not anytime soon."Megan commented as she relieved Miranda of Tabitha as the brunette went over to Mordin's console to analyze the data Mordin had managed to collate from the now destroyed Reaper object with the salarian scientist. "Hey there Tabby! Mama's here!"Megan cooed at the giggling baby as Legion watched on intently. "Um...Legion? Why have you consistently been following both me and Miranda whenever we're carrying the babies around?"The redhead asked the geth.

"We are gathering data on organic parental behavior to send back to our consensus for study. We wish to integrate fully with organics in the future, and understanding the nature of parent-child relationships is a key to integration."Legion replied as Tabitha pawed curiously at his 3 fingered hand, causing him to raise his headflaps in puzzlement. "That's Legion Tabby. He's a very nice geth and he won't hurt you."Megan whispered soothingly to her daughter before turning to Legion. "She's just curious Legion. Also, I think she likes you!"She smiled as Tabitha began squealing and pointing at Legion excitedly. "We have been reviewing videos on the extranet and we have a question Shepard Commander. Are all human babies this curious?"The geth asked as he looked at Tabitha curiously as he gently closed his digits around the baby's small hand.

“It depends on the baby Legion. Some are more reserved while some are more curious. Both of my kids are extremely curious and they just want to be everywhere at once!”Megan laughed affectionately at the thought of her adorable children before a cold feeling hit the pit of her stomach. “Legion, could you please give us a moment alone? Um…Mordin? Could you please run some tests on both Tabitha and Zachary to see if they have the same Reaper picotech in their DNA as Miranda and I?”The redhead asked, trying but failing to fight down the dread that she felt building up in the pit of her stomach as Legion simply nodded and left the lab. Miranda abruptly looked up from the terminal with horror and dread in her cerulean eyes as Mordin just nodded and prepped a surgical probe.

“Don’t worry little one. It won’t hurt at all.”Mordin smiled reassuringly at Tabitha, whose mouth was agape with confusion as her eyes darted from both of her mother’s to the salarian. “It’s okay Tabby, Uncle Mordin won’t hurt you.”Miranda soothed as she gently stroked her daughter’s cheek as Mordin administered some local anesthesia before gently jabbing the probe into Tabitha before withdrawing it less than 3 seconds later. Thanks to the anesthetic that Mordin had applied, Tabitha didn't feel a thing and didn't cry out in pain. The salarian scientist then emptied the blood sample collected into a small compartment in his terminal before tapping a few keys. "Test results should be ready in 79 seconds and counting Shepard. Please hold."Mordin informed. The terminal beeped slightly over a minute later, signifying that the scans were done and the results were ready.

"Ah, test complete. Will check on results."Mordin piped up as he accessed the test results and frowned slightly. "Tabitha has the exact same Reaper entities in her DNA, although it is not as concentrated as yours Shepard. Her levels more similar to LC Lawson's."The salarian professor informed the parents as Megan's heart stopped cold. “So…Tabitha also has Reaper picotech in her blood? Well, what’s going to happen to her?”She asked, feeling faint and lightheaded at the revelation that she had passed the Reaper tech in her DNA onto her daughter and most likely her son as well. “Hmm. Due to both you and LC Shepard being biotics, both Zachary and Tabitha will most likely be natural biotics as well. Thus, their biotic powers will be amplified. All the other upgrades the Reaper tech imparted to both of you will also apply to them.”Mordin concluded, addressing both Megan and Miranda.

“Will the Reapers be able to control them via the tech?”Miranda asked, on the verge of a full-blown panic attack at the thought of the Reapers controlling her beloved children and turning them into monsters. “Have either of you ever lost control of your mental and physical faculties when in close proximity to Reapers or their devices?” “No. Sovereign only managed to give me visions and talk to me when I was chasing down Saren, and certain Reaper devices have also given me visions.”Megan replied to the professor’s question. “It’s the same for me. I have never lost control of myself to any Reaper or their objects.”Miranda added on. “If that’s the case, your children will most likely not fall victim to Reaper remote control. Relatively safe assumption because neither of you have ever been controlled by Reapers.”Mordin theorized.

"However, both Megan and I have been incapacitated by Reaper devices as they spoke to us a few times now. Will that happen to our children?"The brunette Sentinel asked worriedly as Mordin just nodded solemnly. "Oh God...is there anything that can neutralize the Reaper tech? Can it be removed?"Megan asked desperately. "Unlikely. Reaper picotech already firmly fused to the base DNA coding. However...I may be able to prevent children from incapacitation. I'll see what I can do."The salarian professor mulled as Miranda sighed softly in a measure of relief. "Thank you Mordin. You have no idea what this means to us." "Actually, I have a general idea. You're welcome."He smiled back at the CO and XO of the Normandy as they smiled back and left the lab with Tabitha in their arms and headed back to their cabin.

As soon as the lift doors opened for the cabin, Megan sighed loudly as Miranda looked at her quizzically while gently cradling Tabitha. “I swear, this Reaper tech inside of me is a fucking curse. Not only do I infect people with it if I’m close enough to them, I pass it on to my children as well. I-I hate this! I can’t-what if this was actually a secret weapon planned by the Reapers? Infect one person and he or she becomes a sleeper agent-”The redhead began ranting before her wife silenced her with a deep kiss on the lips. “Shush with your stupid thoughts Megan. Our children and I will never be going anywhere, and you can’t make us leave you. Also, the idea that you’re a sleeper agent is ridiculous.”The brunette murmured reproachfully when she broke the kiss as she gently placed Tabitha into the crib next to Zachary’s.

“But it makes sense!”Megan began before Miranda interrupted her once more. “Oh shut up already. Our children will stand by you for the rest of your life. And so will I. Yes, this Reaper tech may be a curse to you, but don’t forget that it empowered us to be the people we are today. And most of all…if there wasn’t any Reaper tech in me…we wouldn’t have Tabby and Zack.”Miranda trailed off as her redheaded wife sighed once more. “You’re right. It’s both a curse…as well as a blessing. I think I can live with it…and you. And our children.”Megan smiled mischievously as Miranda smiled back. “That’s more like it you adorable idiot.” Both women then embraced each other passionately as they stared lovingly into each other’s eyes before Zachary started crying.

“Way to spoil the moment Zach.”Megan grumbled as both women detached from their embrace and went to check up on their crying infant son. “Well…he just crapped his diapers. You’re on diaper duty honey!”Miranda smirked cheekily as she threw the pack of diapers at Megan before sitting down beside Tabitha’s crib and began to gently lull her daughter to sleep, intentionally using that as cover to get Megan to change her son’s diapers. “I hate you, you sly woman.”Megan growled, gently carrying Zachary to the bathroom and placing him on the changing station as she laid a clean diaper on the sink before removing his diapers. “Oh, gross! Just-ugh!”Megan squealed in disgust upon seeing Zachary’s heavy soiled bottom and diapers and Miranda began to laugh uncontrollably, Tabitha gurgling away with her.

Final notes: The chapter after this is where the ME3 arc begins, and it will not be as lighthearted and happy as this. Also, the turnout for the last chapter was quite terrible as only two reviews were submitted (I sincerely thank Crofty1010 and Hewhoislost for making the effort to review the chapter). I seriously hope that the feedback for this chapter will be much better, mainly as motivation to keep this story going as I am currently dealing with my final year projects. Thank you, and do kindly review.
