Hera's nightmare
A/N: I'm back for another fanfiction, this time about the space-married couple Kanera from Star Wars Rebels. Hera is always strong but there are times when she isn't fine.
Hera woke up in the middle of the night, covered in sweat. It was not the first time she had dreamed of her mother. She got up and left the cabin gently after dressing up. Everyone was asleep; she even heard Zeb's snoring. Chopper was disabled in a corner. Everything was so peaceful. Even the Empire left them alone during the night.
She went to the ramp in the loading area to open it and go outside. The fresh air did her good. She sat down in the grass not far from the Ghost and let her thoughts flow. The Twi'lek didn't show it but she was worried for everyone of her crew. She had followed her childhood dream and she was proud of it. She had become an excellent pilot for the Phoenix squadron.
Chopper was her faithful C1 droid since she left Ryloth. Sabine was the rebellious one of the group; the Twi'lek had recruited her shortly after Zeb. Zeb the Lasat, at first she had struggles to come at terms with him but a friendship had slowly forged. With Ezra she had adopted a kind of maternal instinct. He was clumsy at times but he was fighting for the same cause as his parents before. And finally there was Kanan; she loved him more than a friend. She didn't know if it was love or not.
While thinking of her crew she fell asleep in the grass.
The next morning
Zeb was the first up, he made breakfast for him and his friends and reactivated Chopper. The others arrived one by one.
"Hera is sleeping in apparently." Sabine said
Kanan went to the refresher and Sabine decided to wake up Hera but what she discovered surprised her. She ran to find Kanan jostling Zeb on the way; who grunted. Luckily for her the Jedi had finished showering.
"Hera is not in her cabin!" exclaimed the young mandolorian.
Kanan ran outside and ordered the others to stay in the ship. He inspected the surroundings of the Ghost and saw a shape in the grass. It was the Twi'lek. He got closer then shook her shoulder gently. The beautiful Twi'lek opened her eyes.
"Oh I must have fallen asleep here."
She stood up and looked Kanan in the eye, he was worried what she understood.
"What are you doing out here?" He asked
She looked at him sighing. She began to tell him that it had already been a few nights that she woke up in the middle of the night. She was dreaming about her mother. She was afraid of losing her friends even if she never showed it. Kanan looked at her, promising that he would always be there for her. He smiled and kissed her forehead.
"I love you Hera." he confessed
"I love you too Kanan."
After these tender words, they returned hand in hand to the Ghost.
A/N: Short one-shot for this wonderful couple. I thank a friend who I met on a RPG on Facebook who plays Kanan among others, she gave me the inspiration. If you happen to read this, I love you 3
