Harry's New Game Plus Vol 2 by kurokitsune028

Chapter 55

The group left the Presidium as soon as they finished with Nassana, deciding to once again walk around and relax a bit, they went for a walk around the Citadel again, both Harry and Le Fay really enjoyed spending time in the city.

It's a really interesting and beautiful place after all, and seeing all kinds of aliens walking around was always interesting to see, eventually, they made it to the Financial District.

As they walked around they suddenly heard a woman and man arguing rather loudly, curious about the commotion, Shepard decided to approach them, the woman suddenly yell "who are you to tell what my husband would want?".

The man scowled and then yelled back "I'm the only person making sense right now! you're endangering your baby!".

The woman frowned at the man "this baby is the only thing I have of Jake!".

Everyone frowned at what they were hearing, it certainly sounded like a delicate situation, Shepard walked up to the man and woman, who suddenly said "I don't care what you think, Michael, it's my decision!".

Michael sighed "I know your hurting Rebekah, but don't let your grief hurt your baby, too!".

Shepard raised an eyebrow and then decided to intervene "can I help you with anything?".

Michael crossed his arms and once again sighed "perhaps you can talk some sense into her".

Rebekah huffed in annoyance "I don't need anyone to 'talk sense' into me, Michael! I'm not undergoing the treatments!".

Michael scoffed and then proceeded to explain the situation "my sister in law here is pregnant, and she's refuses to let the baby undergo gene therapy in utero".

Shepard understood the situation a bit, but he also wanted to know more before he could say anything else "I'm certain that she had a good reason, I'd like to hear both sides".

Rebekah smiled, happy that someone was willing to listen to her and not just try to make her do something she didn't want to do, so she quickly explained the situation on her side "my husband, Jacob, died from a rare heart condition several months ago".

Michael suddenly piped in "there's a chance that the baby could develop the same heart condition, but routine gene therapy can eliminate it".

Rebekah frowned and then responded with "a very small chance, Michael, and extranet reports say therapy could harm the child!".

Michael then got angry and yelled at Rebekah "it's less dangerous than the genetic enhancements that every soldier in the Alliance receives!".

Harry frowned "calm down".

Michael frowned and turned head towards Harry, only to flinch when he saw him staring at him with glowing green eyes, he calmed down and nodded not wanting to upset Harry.

Shepard nodded to Harry, who just smiled at him, Shepard then turned his head toward Rebekah to ask her a question "what are the chances that your child will develop the heart condition?".

Rebekah immediately answered the question "according to the doctors, there's a one in a fifth chance, and if my baby develops the condition, medical treatments are available".
