He ignores the twinge in his gizzard as he stares resolutely into the face of the Savior of the Galaxy and turns her down.
“If Garrus wants to see me, he knows where to find me, Commander.”
For a moment, she closes her eyes and says nothing.
When she reopens them, her eyes look heavy and wet, in that odd, human way. It is more vulnerable than he has ever seen her - more vulnerable than he imagines almost anyone has seen her.
“I see. “ She finally says, and she does not need sub vocals to project the disappointment in her voice. “I guess I just…” She chuckles, and there’s a bitter tone there that reminds me entirely too much of his son. “Well, I wanted to be wrong.”
Before he can respond, she turns her head to someone beyond the screen to say words he cannot hear, the connection terminates, and she is gone.
He hears a day later from Solana, who begrudgingly thaws enough to talk to him again. It's Solana that lets it slip that Garrus has accepted a position as a security advisor on the Citadel. He will leave in a fortnight.
He feels like his gizzard has been kicked by a horde of screaming klixen at the news, but he isn’t surprised by it.

Would you like a marshmallow?? No, oh. Okay.
Except, he fails to understand it's not for the Spectre they're moving. It's for Garrus' sake. And I imagine Shepard had just recently found out she's pregnant, huh? (the prompt did say about a baby Vakarian, after all) And they're going away for the baby's security, as well.
I'm loving it!!! I'm jumping all around the place in expectation.

Spectres never did stay in one place for long.
