A Missing Child Found

/ We believe that we may have located her, she's on earth, Master Jayton Kendoe is on a transport back to Coruscant as we speak. Mace out./ the hologram blinked off.
An older gentleman in his late forties or early fifties with dark chocolate brown shoulder length hair and dark brown eyes sat in a transport, a slight stirring in his arms brought him out of his thoughts, he looked down to the bundle that was just a large knee length dusty white apron smeared in blood, where a tiny baby girl slept, just barely a few hours old when he found her on her dead mothers belly.

The tiny babe began to whimper quietly, he sensed her discomfort easily.

"Hush now little one." Kendoe murmured as he rocked her gently. "You're alright."

The tiny baby girl turned instinctivly toward the finger that was gently stroking her tiny cheek and began sucking on it.

An hour later the transport arrived at the temple at dusk, Kendoe made his way into the temple and spoke into his comm. "I'm on my way to the medical unit, please inform them to have bottle prepared. Kendoe out." The tiny baby girl began to wail in hunger as they borded a lift down to the medical unit. "I know little one, I know." Kendoe murmurs trying his best to comfort the crying infant as they walk into the medical unit. "Do you have the bottle ready."

"Yes, here." a nurse says handing him a bottle of nerf's milk.

"Thank you. Here you are little one, nice warm nerf's milk" Kendoe says offering the bottle to the wailing babe who takes to it instantly."There we are, little one."

Master Yoda enters and spots him. "Strong she is." Yoda says probing the tiny babe's force signiture."Raise her you will, Master Kendoe. Your padawan she now is." Yoda says."A name, has she?"

"Iamae, her name is Iamae. Iamae Hayden." Kendoe says as she releases the almost empty bottle and yawns.

"Changing napkins are simple Kendoe. Watch," Depa Billaba said as she gently lifted Iamae from Kendoe's arms, Iamae immediately wailing in protest. "Oh, yes, yes, I know little one." Depa cooed at the small infant. "Set her down on her back gently, now remove the old napkin, make sure you clean her up well, gently lift her backside up and slide the fresh napkin underneath and secure the napkin at the sides with the handy adhesive tabs in the front and you're set." Depa said as she threw the used napkin and wipes away and washing her hands, then gently picking Iamae up and setting her gently down on the bed.
"Iamae no!" Kendoe said as he lifted the 9 month old child up and took the data pad she was currently gumming. "What am I gonna do with you little one."

"I have no idea what's wrong." Kendoe sighed. "She's chewing everything."

"Of course she is, she has teeth coming in, see?" Deppa said as she held Iamae in her lap and gently opened her mouth to show two little white nubs on the top and two on the bottom peeking through pink gums. "Her teeth are hurting her so she's chewing, it helps her mouth feel better."

"Come on Iamae, bath time." Kendoe says looking for the wayward ten month old. "Iamae, come out now, it's bath time."

"NO!" Iamae cried out.

Kendoe looks at her stunned.

"Did-Did you just..."

"NO!" Iamae cried louder.

"You spoke.You talked Iamae!" Kendoe said happily scooping the child up.

a week later as Kendoe was making tea the door chimed.

"Come in." Kendoe called.

"Oppie!" Iamea squealed clapping her tiny hands as Obi wan came in.

"She's talking!" Obi wan said picking the eleven month old up.

"She walks too." Kendoe said.

"Goodness, she's gotten so big!" Shaak ti said.

"Sha-tee!" Iamea cried happily holding her arms out to the woman.

"Indeed she has." Ki Ati Mundi said.

"Ottie!" Iamea screeched.

"Hush now little one, inside voice, remember." Kendoe reminded the child, who immediately settled.

"I see you've wasted no time in teaching her to be polite, Kendoe." Ki Ati said.

"I didn't teach her, she just picked it up along the way." Kendoe laughed.
