She came in through the bathroom windowkalihiraJune 27 2012, 17:40:17 UTC
Kaidan sighed contentedly as a cool mountain breeze caressed his skin. 2 years, six months and 24 days since the Reapers had been destroyed and they were finally out of London. Shepard was well on her way to recovery, finally able to get around with out the use of crutches. He had suggested they get away some where tropical where they could lay in the sun and drink garish colored alcohol in glasses the size of fishbowls. Shepard wanted nature, mountains, trees, solitude. He rented a cabin Portland and off they went.
Things had been perfect. They spent their days walking amongst the trees, following shallow creeks, and just enjoying being alive and together. Tonight was their last night in the cabin; Kaidan was returning to active duty day after tomorrow and they needed to be in Vancouver before then.
The peaceful afternoon was suddenly interrupted by a loud screech followed by a stream of profanity that would make Jack uncomfortable. Kaidan dashed back into the cabin, the dark blue corona of his biotics flaring and dancing on his skin.
"Kahlee! What's wrong?" he called out, racing toward the back of the cabin.
"I will kill the son of a bitch...oh you poor dear..."
That stopped him in his tracks. "Kahlee?"
"In the bathroom! I need your help."
He couldn't really believe what he was seeing. Shepard, wrapped in a towel, sitting on the floor of the master bathroom, a small ginger tabby curled up in her lap.
"She came in through the bathroom window and scared me half to death," Kahlee explained. "She's kinda beat up, on of her ears is bleeding and she's got some pretty nasty scratches on her sides and tummy."
"Oh." Kaidan replied lamely. "Uh..."
"Do you think there's a vet in town? She really needs some help. Unless you think medigel might help?"
Kaidan, now slightly over the shock of seeing his wife holding an injured stray in her lap, smiled warmly. "Still saving the world," he said softly.
She chuckled. "Yeah, I guess. And I'm keeping her. I don't care if she's chipped. Her owner let her wander out to get hurt. She's mine now."
"Let's get her fixed up first. Then we can talk adoption."
"Come on, Pounce," Shepard cooed. "Your dad is going to hold you while I get dressed and then we'll head to the doctor and get you fixed up." She kissed the tabby on the head, between the ears.
Kaidan rolled his eyes and gingerly picked up Shepard's cat. Her bright green eyes met his and she gave a plaintive "mrow" and his heart was gone. He smiled inwardly. He always did have a thing for red heads.

1. How do I get you alone? 2. It's all I know 3. Pretty cunning, don't you think?

I missed that cat in DA2 and was horrified by the art department's solution.
