yeah is it wrong that I'm expecting her to go back
Just as about everyone else in this thread, i'd like her to stay on the Normandy, as a romance interest and all that. Heck, i'm even replaying ME1 to get a "romance-free" savegame. But i somehow can't imagine Shep and Tali getting an all-happy ending. There is certainly a lot of us Tali fans, but even we have to admit that that wouldn't be a strong enough ending of the story.
We appear to agree on many points yet here I feel inclined to object. True, it is difficult to envision how Shepard and Tali would be able to have naturally occurring offspring together (opposite DNA spiral structures just to start with), but one of the major aspects of the ME games has been the social issue of bigotry/racism. Anti-alien rhetoric, fear of the unknown (the true Geth appear to far more advanced and enlightened than I would ever have imagined), etc. are reoccurring themes in both games so far and if you choose the Paragon path you tend to oppose such views. While it might be "unnatural" for a human and a quarian to be together from a strictly biological point of view, there is nothing unnatural about two sentient, feeling beings coming together.
I personally feel it would make for one heck of a powerful ending (amongst many possible endings) to have the choice to decide whether to walk hand-in-hand with Tali (or any other alien love interest for that matter) watching a panoramic view at the end of "ME3". Then again, I am an idealist at heart and a hopeless romantic though these days I find experiences with realism adding layers upon those core drives; it's one of the reasons I truly love, yes "love", games like ME1, ME2 and Dragon Age, etc. because they remind me of what can be and of things that I personally consider worth striving for and fighting for if need be. Shepard's story inspires me and few things would make me happier than a "happily ever after" romantic ending with Tali as one possible choice for ME3.
