The Hybrid: Chapter Seventeen

"Why is this happening, Garrus?!" Shepard yelled, "out of everything that's been going on they chose him to come back?!"

Garrus stood in Shepard's room, his hands coming out to her shoulders. He pulled her in and hugged her, making sure she returned the hug. He took in a deep breath, exhaling slowly, whispering to Shepard to do the same. At first, Shepard was rolling her eyes but now, she was starting to feel a little better. She still didn't like the fact that her ex was back from the dead nor the fact that Thane was going to be the doctor's next test subject.

Shepard cried into Garrus' chest, letting the anxiety leave her body before she shot up the Normandy. She felt better now that he was here. When she found out he was the archangel, she couldn't be happier to see a familiar face. When they met and took out the doctor, they bonded over the stories they told each other. Something about that mission had Garrus open up to her more. Now, after what they have been through, she couldn't see herself not being with him.

"I'm sorry." She said as she pulled away.

"Baby don't be sorry." Garrus cupped her cheek.

"I'm sorry about that night... when you kissed me."

"Oh." If Garrus could blush, he would, "I... I should have respected your boundaries. I-"

Garrus stopped talking when Shepard pulled him down to her to kiss him. He was shocked by the kiss but he didn't hesitate to pull her close to him. Though, he was confused as to why she was alright with kissing him now and not last night. Even if he was drunk, it didn't make much sense to Garrus. Shepard pulled back, biting her lip as her gauze looked up at Garrus.

"If you ever need to let off steam..."

"I think right now would be a good time, don't you think?" Shepard grinned, her hands wandering over Garrus' arms and down to his hips. Her mind was a mess and her body craved love and affection from this Turian. Maybe if she caved into her sexual desires, she might feel a little better.

"What about Thane?" Garrus questioned. Shepard grabbed his two fingered talons, guiding him over to the bed.

"Joker is taking care of it for the moment."

"Good."

Garrus didn't hesitate to help Shepard losen up and get her mind off of what was happening in the universe at the given time. It was weird at first, given that Shepard never had sex with a Turian before, it was Garrus' first time with a human as well. He learned quickly just how fragile humans were and how much he never wanted to hurt Shepard on purpose. Time slipped away from them, the universe was no longer apart of their minds. They had each other and they honestly didn't want to go back to the real world. Shepard didn't want the pressure of the universe back on her. Even though Garrus finally had the woman he's loved for a while now, he was worried about losing her again. The scars that decorated her body pissed him off but also made him thankful to have her back in his arms.

"I don't know how I feel about the hybrid shit that's happening." Garrus said. Shepard was laying on top of him, her head resting on his chest. Garrus ran his fingers through his hair while he had his other arm draped over Shepard's naked body.

"What do you mean?" Shepard asked.

"As much as I would love to have a child with you, it... shouldn't happen."

"Oh. That."

Shepard too had mixed feelings about it. Turians were born with armored skin. Humans were too fragile to give birth to something like that. Not only that but humans wouldn't have the nutrients to take care of the Turian children. Then again, if this were to happen, then the universe would be saved if she didn't stop the Reapers.
