Before you start reading, please note that this isn't my first try at Ch. 7. The original Ch. 7 was finished late night Wednesday, and was almost ready to be posted. However, when I went to spell check it, the site logged me out, and I lost the original. Most of what I have here is word-for-word from the original, but some of the non-essential dialogue was left out. Thank you for your patience and consideration.

Knowing that Shepard approved of her gain, Kelly brought her to the bed and they did as much as they could in the realm of sexual intimacy, what with them being the same gender. A few minutes after they had finished, Joker said over the intercom that they were coming up on the Citadel and awaiting docking permission. Shepard got up and put on the black body suit that was the base layer for her armor. Then it hit her that her armor plating would not fit her new, sexy body. Panic spread throughout her big body. Seeing this, Kelly retrieved the XL armor she had ordered for Shepard when she requisitioned the plus-size clothes. Shepard gave Kelly a big bear hug with many iterations of thank you said. The new armor fit her like a glove, conforming perfectly to her belly, boobs, and butt. She kissed Kelly goodbye and went down to join Garrus and Kasumi, who had concerns of their own about Shepard's gain, but chose not to voice them at this time. They stepped off of the Normandy and into the vast commercial and government hub, the Citadel.
When they stepped off of the ship, a C-Sec lieutenant was waiting with a car to take them to Anderson which Shepard graciously accepted, for she had no interest in walking long distances. Within ten minutes or so, they arrived at Anderson's office in the Presidium.
Anderson waited in his office for the car to arrive and when it did, he saw Shepard needing Garrus' help to get out. He knew that Shepard was under a lot of stress over the impending Reaper invasion, so the extra pounds were most likely a side affect of said stress. "Shepard." He says, "Come have a seat."
"The Council has a job for me?" Shepard asks.
"Yes, we do. There's been a break in a C-Sec investigation of a human and Asari trafficking ring based out of an abandoned red sand mining station in the Artemis Tau cluster." The councilor said, "If you could shut them down and find out who's profiting from this and why, we'd be very grateful."
"I'll take care of it," Shepard said, "quietly."
"Thank you Shepard. I knew I could count on you." Anderson said graciously, "And remember, the press is just as dangerous as the Collectors."
"I'll keep that in mind." Shepard said as she and her crew walked out the front door and toward the C-Sec headquarters where they'd be able to take an elevator back to the Normandy. That's what would've happened if Shepard hadn't seen an advertisement for judges on a cooking reality show that's broadcasted live on the extranet. She told Garrus and Kasumi to go ahead and that she had some "business" to take care of. She immediately called Kelly and told her about the position. Kelly became very excited and said she'd be down in ten minutes with something for Shepard to wear. Shepard then called the number on the flyer, which was that of the executive producer. He said that they'd be delighted to have Shepard and her personal assistant as celebrity judges and that filming started in two and a half hours.
Back on the Normandy, Kelly dressed in a short, tight dress with sheer leggings and two-inch heels and grabbed a hip-hugging dress for Shepard with stylish flats and put them in her purse. On her way out, she ran into Miranda, inquisitive as always.
"Where are you headed in that dress?" She asked.
Kelly had become a very good liar over the years of learning psychology and Miranda wasn't exactly a tough customer. Telling her the truth would most likely have a negative outcome for her. Kelly had a choice to make.
