A/N: Please enjoy my brain-spew. It's been a long time since I wrote anything like A Precious Moment. :)

"Rex, your hellspawn is screaming again."
Rex mumbled incoherently, rubbing his first decent sleep in months out of his eyes. "What have you tried?"
"She's not hungry, she doesn't need to be changed, and she won't go back to sleep," Kix reported.
Rex yawned. "I'm coming." He tugged on his armor and walked briskly to the infirmary, his speed betraying his worry. He'd already lost his cyar'ika. He couldn't lose his baby, too.
Self-proclaimed Grandpa Skyguy was already there, trying to soothe the girl with the Force, but she just threw it back at him.
Rex rubbed the smile from his face. "Having trouble there, General?"
Anakin looked up grouchily. "She's a lot like her mother."
Kix chuckled. "She doesn't listen to you and loves the Captain more, despite your best efforts. Sounds about right."
As soon as she was in her father's arms, the girl fell silent.
"There we go, Mariasha," Rex murmured.
The girl snuggled into the crook of his neck with a heavy sigh. "Bir."
"Her first word!" Kix cheered quietly as Rex froze in amazement.
"Bird?" Anakin asked, confused.
Kix shook his head. "Buir! It's Mando'a for father or daddy. Wait til the rest of the guys hear!"
Rex grinned widely. He may have looked like an idiot, but he didn't care. He was Buir, and that was all that mattered.

A/N: Random one-shot, there, for you. See if you know who Mariasha's mom is.
Trivia: Mariasha is an Egyptian name with two meanings. "Perfect one" and "with sorrow".
I do have the first bit of the next chapter of Under Fire. Sorry, it's been a crazy two weeks. My cousin was over, my dad had a business trip, I had to defer my college application, I got my braces off, and then yesterday I was really sick. Not to mention, I got my laptop time cut in half, since I'm not doing school right now, so I'm typing everything up on my phone then emailing it to myself to copy and paste into a Word document.
Anyways, yeah, updates are coming, just very slowly.
Hope you liked this one! Tell me what you think - even if you hated it. Just don't be pointlessly rude.
Namarië!
