shenko babies drabble and I’m not even sorry

I never expected this would get this long so beware: extreme fluff levels

“What was this about?” Little fingers pointed excitedly to a picture of a familiar happening. Shepard stood with a satisfied grin, fully amored beside Tali and Legion in Rannoch, while remnants of a Reaper lied behind them.

Kaidan and Jane decided to put up albums of the Normandy and the war, to remind themselves and keep a historic record of little glimpses of what they’ve been through and to remember the people they’ve lost. Little Lillian seems to be liking that idea very much, apparently.

“This was when we helped auntie Tali’s people get their planet back.” Kaidan explained, amused by her widened eyes.

“Just like Earth? From the bad giant robots?” Lillian was at the creative-questions age, and Kaidan never expects what she might come up with next. So here she was, asking about the Reaper War and Kaidan asked himself how could he explain such things to a kid.

“Yeah, something like that.” He couldn’t help but chuckle. “You see this broken giant robot in the background?” Her eyes followed his finger as he pointed to the dead Reaper. She nodded fast. “Your mommy turned him off by herself so you could exist someday.” He tapped the tip of her nose and she squeezed her eyes shut, muffling a laugh.

She turned the page again and her brows furrowed upon studying another picture.

“Who is she? I don’t think I know her.” She pointed to a picture from the SR-1 days. It was him, Shepard and Ashley in one of the Citadel Wards, posing in front of the nebula view.

“Yeah, you don’t.”She adjusted herself in his lap and he rested his chin on her shoulder. “She was a good friend of ours. Her name was Ashley.” His eyes studied the picture futher. They looked so relaxed and excited, completely unaware of all the things that were bound to happen. “I think you would have loved to know her, baby girl.” He spoke softly.

“And look!” Her loud giggling voice broke him out of his wave of thoughts. “You had no grey hair back then!” She pointed at his face repeatedly as she disheveled his hair with the other hand.

“Yeah, yeah, keep making fun of the old man here” He laughed along with her. “It was before all the scary pranks you and your mother played on me” He wrapped his arms around her tiny form. “It’s all your doing and it was very worth it”. He planted a kiss at the top of her head as she closed the book.

Who pretends to sleep when the baby is screaming? Who dropped the baby? Both Shenko of course.

Don’t be cruellll! hahaha

I don’t think any of them would do those things, they’re so protective of their kids and give them a lot of attention. (and they have light sleep so it wouldn’t be much of an excuse lol)

(Though I believe Jane takes some time until getting used to hold babies at first, but not bad enough to actually drop them xD)

officialvarrictethras said: Kaidan reacting to the birth of his daaaaaaughter?

F!Shenko. G. FLUFF AND BABIES! (no really this is so fluffy and I’m not even remotely sorry).

Kaidan cursed himself as he rushed through the halls of the hospital. He should have never left. But as the only human Spectre cleared for travel.. he'd had no other choice. Besides, Shepard had said, the baby won't be here for weeks.

Of course saying something out loud meant she'd cursed them. Because no sooner had Kaidan left on the transport ship had he gotten word that his wife had gone into labor. Getting back home on such short notice had required jumping through an endless amount of hoops, not to mention the added bonus of pissing off the Council and Hackett, but they would just have to get over it.

Skidding to a halt in front of her room, Kaidan took a moment to catch his breath before walking through the door. The room was quiet, dark, only a dimly glowing lamp by the bed providing any light. Shepard was lounging in bed; she looked tired, but happy, gazing down at the bundle in her arms.

“Hey,” he said softly.

“You made it,” Shepard said, beaming at him.

“Not quite it looks like.” He nodded toward the bundle.

“Nah. You made it for the best part. Come say hi to your daughter.” She sat up a bit and held out her arms. Kaidan took the baby as gently as he could, and perched on the edge of the bed. He gazed down at the tiny face swathed in a fuzzy pink blanket with a Varren theme. Where on earth had they found that?

“It's from Wrex,” Shepard supplied as if reading his mind.

“Of course.”

“He also sent a note saying that he was available for godfather duty.”

“Did you tell him he'll have to duel Garrus for the title?”

Shepard snorted. “They can work that out themselves. I'm glad the godmothers all decided to be “aunties”. Much simpler.”

He looked up at Shepard. “She's going to be spoiled rotten, you know that right?”

“Of course she is.” She scooted forward and rested her head on Kaidan's shoulder.

Turning his attention back to their daughter, reached up to run a finger down her cheek. “Did you ever think we'd end up here?”

“For a long time I didn't think about it. I couldn't. It just never seemed like something I would ever have.” She lifted her head to look him in the eye. “I'm glad this is where we ended up though.”

He smiled. “Me too.”

So being nosy on eye genetics and came across a site that gives not only eye colour options for offspring, but also details genetic inheritance, ability to change gene frequency, and the odds of a certain colour coming up.

Result?

Yes, it is possible for Allison Shepard to get green eyes (even pushing the allelic frequency of green all the way down to 0.01 still gives a 0.9% chance from two brown-eyed parents).

Odds of Kaidan having gotten brown eyes? 50% regardless of green gene frequency. Odds of Kaidan's brother having gotten blue eyes? Between 25% and 49% depending on gene frequencies.

Odds on Elena getting brown eyes? 50%. Odds on Lucas being able to inherit green eyes? Between 32.4% and 36.6%. Blue? Between 13.3% and 17.5%.

So, in conclusion, my genetic calculations have been pretty much in line with expectations.

A really quick, fluffy piece I wrote on the fly. 

Kaidan's hands trembled uncontrollably as he paced around the waiting room. 

Shepard was hunched over in his seat, his head resting in his hands. Kaidan didn't know how he was able to sit still. Every cell in Kaidan's body was tingling, his brain moving at a mile a minute, his heart pounding so hard it felt like it was trying to escape. 

It could be any moment, now. 

"I need air," Shepard declared, and stood up. 

Kaidan turned to him, "no, wait with me. Please."

Shepard rolled his shoulders, stretched his arms above his head, "I can't. I have to go outside. I feel like I have bats inside my stomach."

"Me too," Kaidan took a step towards him, "but it can't be much longer."

Shepard took one of Kaidan's hands and held it between his. Shepard's skin felt hot and clammy. "I know," he said, "but I need some air. I'll be quick."

Kaidan bit his bottom lip and nodded, "okay, go. But be fast, please."

Shepard flashed him a smile, "I will, promise." 

Just as Shepard turned to leave, a nurse dressed in blue scrubs came around the corner. She smiled at Kaidan, a bright smile that showed off her gleaming teeth.

Kaidan's heart jumped into his throat, "John..."

Shepard's footsteps stopped, and Kaidan heard him turn around to him again. Kaidan groped for Shepard's hand, and squeezed it tight.

The nurse beckoned them towards her, and both stepped forward in unison. It was only a few short steps, but the walk to the delivery room felt like a mile. Kaidan had broken out in a sweat, and Shepard was digging his fingernails into Kaidan's hand so hard he thought he might bleed. 

"Congratulations," the doctor said, moving towards him with a tiny bundle in her arms, "it's a boy."

"A boy?" Shepard asked, as if he hadn't heard correctly. 

"A healthy, eight pound boy," the doctor repeated. She grinned up at them, "you're fathers." She held the tiny bundle, swaddled in blue hospital blanket, to Kaidan. 

Shepard craned his neck over Kaidan's shoulder, "he's...beautiful." 

Kaidan nodded his agreement, unable to speak. He looked down at the bright pink, puffy cheeks. They had put a small, knitted hat on his head, and his hands were balled into fists just under his chin.

"I don't believe it," Shepard said softly, "Kaidan...we're fathers." 

Kaidan glanced at Shepard, whose blue eyes were brimming with tears. He grinned, "yeah, we're fathers." He held the baby out towards Shepard, who hesitated only a second before cradling him to his chest. A couple tears escaped his eyes and rolled down his face. 

"Hi," he whispered to the baby, "one very important thing you need to know. I let Garrus win the shooting competition on the Citadel, and don't ever let him tell you otherwise.

AHAHAHAHAHA.

I'm done with this, at least for the moment, thus making this the final form. WHOO.

So yeah. BBY ASHLEY. daslkfja;dslkfj. She's so precious and cute. However, I kept running into the problem of not drawing her consistently (I struggle on this with all my characters). I figured that I should get that sorted out and so I began looking through pictures and stuff. I found an incredibly adorable picture (Wow, I didn't do that picture any justice). Next thing I know, this happens. And I added color.

Please forgive this post. It's 3AM.
