The cramp passed and she straightened. They were coming more frequently now so she decided that it was time to stop dallying. If she put this meeting off much longer, she’d be lucky to make it through before another one hit. Damned if they didn’t hurt. She could take a bullet and keep walking, run through a cascade of rachni acid without faltering, push on with broken bones but this threatened to undo her. Another hit while she was in the elevator and by the time it was over, she felt like she’d been hugged by a thresher maw. She was glad the lift had been empty. It wouldn’t do for the hero of the galaxy to be witnessed pale and shaking with a fine sheen of sweat on her brow from a damn period cramp

“I don’t think you’ve been poisoned, Commander,” the councilor said with a tone to his secondary vocalizations that she couldn’t decipher. “I think you’re in labor

Sparatus rose and went to the doorway where he barked out a series of orders. It felt like an eternity had passed, but when she glanced back down at her omni-tool she saw that it had only been a matter of minutes since she’d arrived in the chambers. Garrus was still connected to her but he wasn’t speaking. She could hear him trying to hail a skycar and wondered why he didn’t just take the elevator. Where the hell was he anyway? He’d started disappearing during their shore leaves on the Citadel and she’d been unable to locate him anywhere. When she’d asked him about it, he’d said he was helping the refugees but she hadn’t found him in the camp and Vega said that he hadn’t seen him around there lately

She looked at him in dazed confusion as a hot knife of agony speared through her and her breath began to come in ragged gasps. He sighed and she somehow managed to restrain herself from hitting him as he reached below the sheet and removed her boots and pants. He arranged another sheet beneath her and rubbed his brow plates. “Spirits help me,” he muttered

Shepard couldn’t take her eyes off of the tiny baby. This all seemed so surreal. A part of her couldn’t accept that this creature was a part of her. The throbbing in her loins insisted it was. Hesitantly, she reached out and stroked a finger over its mandible. The baby made a sound somewhere between a growl and a purr and blinked up at her. His eyes focused instantly on hers with none of the sleepy confusion of a human newborn and she gasped in delight. They were deep-set like a turian’s but larger like a human’s and their color was a pale, crystalline blue like his father’s. His nose, as she’d seen in the holosound, was slightly more pronounced like a human but that and his feet were where the external similarities to her ended

The door opened again and Dr. Chakwas rushed in with the salarian from the comm by her side. Karin took Sparatus’ place at her feet and began to work efficiently. “I apologize, Commander. I was helping Dr. Michel with a difficult patient. I came as quickly as I could. It seems congratulations are in order

He lifted his head as she shifted and beamed at her. There was no other way to describe the expression on his face. He cooed to the baby, “Look, Mama’s awake. I bet she wants to see you. Don’t let her fool you. She seems harder than a turian on the outside but inside she’s a fluffmallow

“You’ll have to ask Dr. Solus about that. He tried explaining it to me but it went over my head. Something about the cybernetics used to put you back together and the upgrades you received. The bone weaves had something to do with it. They apparently use turian bone as the basis for the weave like they use asari skin cells for the skin weave and krogan tissue for the muscle weave. From what I might have understood, it was something about the nanites used to repair your body spreading turian genetic material that somehow allowed your DNA to become compatible with mine

This was lovely. I love it when people at least try to give some biological explanation. Also cultural differences are pretty much always interesting to read. Having Sparatus deliver the baby was delightful. I really should set my lj to show me the most recent updates instead of keeping things in order so I don't miss things like this. Only found this because I was going back through to pull things out to skim to pick for the peoples choice awards. Please keep writing.

Actually, that reminds me of that humour fanfic… “Blame the Hands” (hooray for Biology).
Also, this was so sweet and emotive and you went all out on cultural differences, too. You are awesome. I love it.
PLEASE WRITE MORE FILLS.
