Escaping Eezo

"Eezo!" Jane said sternly yet softly, not wanting to alert her mother downstairs. "We cannot play with you right now! Please, just go bother one of your Mamas, and - "

Jane didn't get a chance to finish as Eezo lunged forward, grabbing a hold of the pant leg of Miranda's catsuit in his jaws as he began a game of tug-of-war with the commander.

"No! Bad Varren! Bad! Let go!" Jane hissed as she pulled on the first chance at actual clothing she had all day.

Liara raced over to help Jane, pulling on her bondmate's waist as they fought with the alien creature for the suit.

Down in the living room, Hannah looked up at the ceiling, raising an eyebrow at the noise.

"Sounds like your Varren's having the time of his life up there." Aethyta observed as she took a sip of her tea.

"Oh, that he does." Miranda said with a nervous chuckle, desperately trying to keep their friends hidden from their parents. "He's a sweetheart deep down, just like his Mama Jack. That's why he's our little Biotic Scale Baby."

"Don't ever call him that again." Jack said flatly, frowning at her fiancée.

"So, forgive me for asking as it may be two early," Hannah began as she did her best to ignore the loud noises above her, "but what exactly are your plans for starting a family?"

"Oh, well," Miranda said with a blush, "we would have to talk it over, but considering that I cannot have children, we would either adopt, or use that new procedure that would allow Jack to carry our child by converting a small portion of my genetic make up into a gamete."

"Pfft! You just wanna see what I look like as a fatass for nine months." Jack accused playfully.

"I wouldn't mind." Miranda purred playfully.

"Do the letters 'TMI' mean anything to the two of you?" Aethyta asked as she and Hannah looked at one another.

"Give it here!" Jane hissed as she pulled on the suit in the Varren's mouth, Liara pulling on her girlfriend.

Suddenly, a loud ripping noise echoed through the room, causing both parties to be thrown back as Eezo hit a dresser and the two lovers hit the floor with a thud.

"That's it! Something's going on up there!" Hannah shouted, standing up and making her way towards the stairs.

"Yeah. I heard two sets of thumps." Aethyta agreed as she followed Hannah.

"Now, now. Let's not get rash." Miranda said as she and Jack followed the Vice Admiral and Matriarch. "Eezo just loves to play a little too rough."

"Ugh!" Jane groaned as she and Liara got to their feet, "I swear, if Jack wasn't attached to that thing..."

"Um, Jane?" Liara said, pointing to the still playful Varren.

Jane looked around as Eezo prepared to bound forward, seeing the open window behind them. Looking out, the commander saw that it was right above the pool.

"We're gonna have to jump." Jane said, clinging on to the top half of the catsuit in her hand.

"Jump?!" Liara asked, tightly clenching Jack's boxers in her hand. "Jane, that's twenty feet to the water!"

"Look, with all do respect, Vice Admiral, I think you're overreacting."

"And with all do respect, Soon-to-be Mrs. Naught-Lawson, I don't give a hoot. There's something going on up there!"

Jane looked at Liara. "You were saying?"

Liara gulped. "I did always want to try diving..."

"Freeze! As Vice Admiral of The Alliance Marines, I hereby -" Hannah began, bursting into Jack and Miranda's room with Aethyta. However, both parents were confused as they only saw Eezo laying by the window as two sets splashes were heard.

Hearing the splashes, Aethyta went to the window and looked out at the pool, a mass of bubbles forming at the surface. After staring at it for a few seconds, she turned away from the window and joined Hannah just as Jack and Miranda entered the room, both looking shocked at the lack of people.

"Well, girls," Hannah said, "I guess I owe you both an apology. That creature of yours is quite the rough houser. You two better have some tough kids."

"Yeah..." Jack said as she looked around, only half listening as she eyed Miranda picking up the bottom half of her suit. "Miri?"

"This was my favorite catsuit..." Miranda muttered under her breath as she looked towards the window. "I'll add it to your ever growing bill, Commander."

As Aethyta turned away from the window, Liara and Jane broke the surface of the water, the two lovers gasping for breath as they swam towards the pool lader and climbed out. Once out of the pool, the two eyed the now soaking wet boxers and half a catsuit that they just managed to retrieve.

Well, wet clothes were better than no clothes at all.

The problem, however, was that they now had two haves of an incomplete outfit; one top and one bottom vs two naked women.

"So," Liara asked as she looked to Jane, "who gets which?"
