Monday 13th January 2190.
After almost a year in their new home, Cassie and her lovers had fully settled into their new life together, raising all their children as a united, loving family. To no one's surprise it didn't take long for Cassie to make Samara pregnant again, and just before their daughter was born, the two tied the knot in a small ceremony on Nevos. After four years, they were all settled down, and Cassie felt slightly proud that she had 'fathered' children with every woman in her harem.
"So..." Jack began, taking a seat on the sofa. "Are we home-schooling our children, or sending them to some boarding school?"
"I'm sure I could get our children into the best schools on Thessia if Cassie wanted," Tevos smiled as she strode past on her way to the kitchen.
"That idea has merits," Aria said slyly, choosing to sit next to Jack. "Having our children out of the house could give us some more... freedom around the house."
"Good point," Jack chuckled. "Not that this whole, minimum clothing thing isn't fun, but there's nothing like being completely naked."
"That explains your attire when we first met you," Miranda laughed from the first floor balcony that overlooked the living room.
"Same to you Cheerleader!" Jack yelled back. "So Cas, think we should send our children to Thessia to be educated, or should we teach them?"
"Oh it would be a much better idea to ensure they're properly educated," Cassie smiled. "Not to mention I'd have a little more freedom to... play."
"Play?" Samantha asked cautiously.
"This optical illusion is fine, but I'm suffering with what can only be described as a 'look but can't touch' scenario." She explained.
"What the fuck does that mean?" Ash asked from the kitchen.
"You know how my mother gave me a little more control over my 'environment', and that basically means this luxurious home and its surroundings," Cassie began. "Well I can do slightly more than just small changes... On numerous occasions I've essentially had x-ray vision."
"Another secret?" Liara sighed.
"That explains why you've frequently got an erection!" Jack laughed.
"It was not a secret!" Cassie said quickly, as the rest of her lovers gathered around, with Samara choosing to sit on her lap. "You all never asked what my limits were; I told you I had a little control over our home, and you've only ever asked for small changes."
"So what are your limits?" Samara asked, reclining against her wife and removing her bra; she loved the feel of her bare skin pressed against her spouse's body.
"Well, all Athame said was I couldn't affect your free will," Cassie thought, having never really had opportunities to test her mother's gift. "So, if I had to guess, if you don't want me to do something to you, I won't be able to."
"Show me!" Aria and Jack said quickly, eager to see what their lover could do.
"My heart belongs to you, my beloved, show us what you can do," Samara said softly, caressing Cassie's cheek with her right hand.
"I'll whisper if I want to do anything... drastic," she chuckled, kissing Samara on the nose, before gently turning her wife to face away from her, while addressing her enraptured audience. "Let's start with something 'simple'."
She cupped Samara's mature breasts in her hands, taking a moment to enjoy their warmth, weight and firmness in her fingers, before concentrating. She heard audible gasps, and could feel her wife's azure orbs slowly expanding in her hands; a part of her mind focused on keeping their firmness the same as they grew. When she stopped she could feel her lover's excitement at the possibilities she had unlocked before their eyes, as well as the size of Samara's bosom.
"Holy shit!" several women exclaimed.
Cassie gently turned Samara so she was now lying across her again, and took a moment to enjoy her handiwork. Though they looked slightly out of place at first, Samara's enhanced bosom almost seemed natural on the Asari Matriarch's miraculously muscular frame. After enjoying their look and feel, she leant in to the nearest breast, on Samara's left, and kissed it. As quickly as it had expanded, her bosom quickly returned to their original, yet still impressive, size; and Cassie made a point to kiss and caress both with the same attention.
"So you can individually adjust our physiques, anything else?" Diana pressed, eager to learn more.
"I think I can do far more than individual alterations Di," Cassie laughed.
"Prove it," Shiala chided.
"Okay, everyone except Samara and Miranda stand up," she said softly, not as a command, but a polite request.
Everyone quickly did as they were asked, their anticipation to see what their lover could do overriding any hesitance they may have had.
"Why are we still seated?" Miranda asked.
"Because of what I'm thinking of adjusting next, I'm not going to change it for you, as you are already blessed," Cassie serenely replied, before ushering Miranda in for a gentle kiss.
As she kissed the genetically perfect woman, part of her mind focused on her lovers quietly standing around her; or more specifically, she focused on their derrieres. As slowly, and carefully, as she had enlarged Samara's breasts; most of her harem's asses slowly increased in their size, only stopping when they could match Miranda's perfect behind aesthetically.
"Fuck me! I've finally got an ass like yours, cheerleader!" Jack laughed, squeezing and caressing her tattooed behind, before giving it a loud smack.
"You might enjoy it, but under this dress it's quite uncomfortable," Sha'ira noted, and Cassie glanced over to see the former Consort's near opaque dress was now near splitting at the seams.
With a snap of her fingers, the enhanced behinds of her beloveds returned to their original state; much to the chagrin of Jack.
"Suddenly an eternity with you doesn't seem so..." Aria commented, before Karin cut in.
"Eternity? Not everyone has the lifespan of an Asari!"
"True, but given that we're bonded to the daughter of Athame, and that she has some gifts of her own now," Aria quickly commented, though her annoyance at being interrupted was clear. "I doubt any of us will be leaving prematurely."
"Aria, what were you going to say?" Chloe probed after a few seconds. "Were you about to suggest that an eternity with Cassie would be dull, were it not for her mother's gift?"
"Fuck no!" Aria laughed.
"She was probably going to say that the already wonderful eternity we will be together for, has just become idyllic." Gianna stepped up to finish Aria's thought.
The former Queen of Omega pulled Gianna on to her lap; giving her a passionate kiss and a quick grope of her ass before growling;
"I knew I liked you. Seems you really get me!"
"What's there to get, you're dangerous, and I like danger" Gianna purred, before kissing Aria back.
"Anyway," Oriana coughed. "Is there anything else you can do?"
"Well, as I said a moment ago, I've frequently had 'x-ray' vision while raising our children," Cassie smiled. "Selective x-ray vision I might add, meaning while I could see my sons and daughters fully clothed, as they were, you were completely naked in my eyes."
"That's hot!" Jack said without thinking, and she quickly got several confused looks in her direction. "Oh c'mon! You're not going say that seeing Cass' naked form even when she was fully clothed doesn't appeal?"
There was a long drawn out silence, where it became clear that the idea Jack put forward was appealing.
"Is this why you think our children should be sent to an Asari boarding school?" Ash asked cautiously.
"Yes, but I also believe it to be the best idea in the long term," Cassie explained. "They can't stay hidden away here forever, they'll have to venture out into the wider galaxy at some point, and they should have the best education possible when they do."
"A wise suggestion," EDI added, quickly walking over to join them from the kitchen. "I thought it best to inform you that your children are returning from the beach as we speak; they are quite exhausted and looking forward to dinner."
"Strange how in any other environment, letting children and toddlers do as they please on a beach would be disastrous, here it's fine..." Karin smiled. "With EDI and Athame's protection, they're growing up very quickly, and have the complete freedom that many don't have until they're adults."
"They're the children of Commander Shepard, they'd never survive under 'normal' circumstances," Tali joked. "They're just like their 'father' in that regard."
"Here, here!" the others said in unison.
"Hey Shep, can you give us all that 'x-ray' ability, at least for the time being," Kasumi said brightly, and Cassie obliged her with a wink.
"Wow!" was a general response, and Cassie watched as they all took the time to look at the women who until then, had been fully dressed to them.
"I suppose we should begin preparing the evening meal," Samara said softly, as she put her bra back on. "There are some things I am glad we still do for ourselves."
"Nothing's better than the fruits of your own labour," Emily philosophised, as they heard their children hurrying into the house above them.
As they all moved towards the expansive kitchen that ran along the wall of the living area, Cassie took EDI by the hand and walked in the other direction, only stopping when they were outside on the balcony.
"EDI, while my mother gave us this wonderful house and the land around it for our enjoyment, safe from those who would try to intrude," Cassie said, taking both of EDI's hands in hers. "It's you, who has ensured that this new life is truly perfect."
Cassie saw a look of slight confusion on the metallic face, though the darkening cheeks implied the AI felt something close to embarrassment.
"You've continued to be the diligent AI that I unshackled nearly six years ago, and while the occasional kiss is a good reward for small deeds, I now know how I can truly show how thankful I am for everything you've ever done."
"I'm not sure I require..." EDI began, but Cassie could see that the AI was conflicted, so she pressed her finger against EDI's metallic lips.
"I want to reward you EDI, because you've more than earnt it," Cassie said simply, before pulling her into a passionate embrace, their lips meeting almost instantly.
As Cassie kissed EDI's gynoid form, her mind quickly focused on changing her faithful AI into something she knew had always eluded her. The metallic skin shifted into synthetic flesh, complete with miniscule hairs, and EDI's hair quickly became a synthetic-organic equivalent of human hair, long and black in colour. When she pulled away, EDI seemed stunned by the transformation she had undergone during the embrace.
"You're not human, not quite, I'd never want to completely change you because I could never forgive myself for altering what I loved." Cassie said as EDI looked at her new form. "You're an android now EDI, a synthetic humanoid, complete with; hair, fingernails, internal organs, and flesh-like skin, but you're still the wonderful AI I first met on the Normandy SR-2 where it matters."
The information EDI was receiving was clearly overwhelming her, so Cassie stepped in and kissed her again; believing that something familiar; like a kiss from her Commander, would help EDI adjust quicker.
"Thank you Cassie," EDI breathed, before realising she could respire now. "I am now curious to see how the others will accept this adjustment. I am, however, concerned that your children will not fully comprehend the sudden change."
"Then for the time being you'll appear to be your old self to them, and like this to the rest of us," Cassie said simply, caressing EDI's shoulder.
"Do you wish for me to remain naked?" EDI smiled, looking down at her bare breasts and belly button.
Cassie snapped her fingers, and a tight-fitting, white and gold leather cat suit formed around EDI's body, leaving her hands, feet and head still bare.
"Thank you Cassie," EDI stated, before they walked back inside to join the others.
"What the... EDI?" Samantha stammered, as she was the first to notice who had returned with Cassie. "You look..."
"Different?" EDI asked.
"Amazing!" Samantha finished.
"Another of your mother's gifts?" Diana asked.
"Somewhat, to be honest I've wanted her to be more like us for a while, now seemed as good a time as any," Cassie admitted. "She's not human, she's more of an android than a gynoid. But from now on, she's not an AI in a metallic body, she's one of us!"
"One of us!" they cheered, and EDI's cheeks quickly reddened at the attention.
"Can you knock her up?" Jack asked bluntly, and EDI's head turned sharply to look at Cassie, clearly the idea fascinated her.
"In time, I might," Cassie laughed, before looking at EDI. "I did give you all the appropriate internal organs, but I think that for the moment, I like you as you are."
"Thank you Cassie," EDI blushed again.
"Well, here's to our utopia!" Cassie said, after Karin had poured them all a glass of Serrice Ice Brandy, and Samara had moved to stand at her side, an arm around her waist.
"Utopia!" they cheered, before downing the cold brandy.
Fin.
