Shepard -- Child after death

Shepard was pregnant when she died before ME2 (very early on, she didn't even know yet.) Miranda was able to recover the embryo, but since Shepard was going to need to run around saving the galaxy shortly, she put it in stasis. There was never a good time, and Shepard died without ever finding out.
After ME3, Miranda tracks down Shepard's LI--who jumps at the opportunity to raise Shepard's child. Cue angsty kidlet fluff.
--The baby could be Kaidan's, or it could be someone else's...but if it is Kaidan's I'd ask that he get at least partial custody even if he wasn't Shepard's final LI. (While single-dad!Kaidan would be awesome, so would Kaidan+Garrus angst-roomie baby-raising antics.)
--Alternately, if Shepard doesn't have a living LI, Miranda could raise the child herself.

OMG.
The feels.
The contrast between how angsty and tense they are at the beginning to the still-scarred-but-at-peace at the end is just lovely.
(I am kind of amused that Garrus named her Ashley Jane because I kind of suspect Kaidan would have named her the exact same thing if he'd been the one there first.)
And the protectiveness at the end is adorable. I am just imagining what is going to go down if anyone ever does that girl wrong.
ANYWAY I am too tired to make cohesive feedback but LET IT BE KNOWN THAT THIS GIVES ME EMOTIONS ALL OVER THE PLACE.

That was... so sad, and so sweet in equal measures. The whole thing was just beautifully done. The tension between the men at the start, and coming to terms, and the bit with the names (never really needed either of us) just about brought me to tears. Thank you for writing this.
