Ezra walked in circles around the room. He was very worried about something. He had just discovered something that could change his life. Well, his life, and his boyfriend's, Kanan Jarrus.
The romance of them was totally secret. None of the crew knew. The two started dating months ago. Almost a year. The main reason they do not tell was the age difference and others think it could be a "delay" for the crew. Still, they were managing to hide the relationship very well. Well, so far.
Ezra was very, very, apprehensive about what he would tell Kanan. He could not be more frightened and worried. He took a deep breath, he would leave the room and find Kanan.
When he left, he felt a little sick, but disguised. He walked to the main cabin, where the crew was. They would have to start talking about a new mission. Ezra sat at the table. He looked at Kanan, who gave him a smile. But Ezra did not smile, which made Kanan wonder in silence. So they began to explain.
After a while after the explanation, all agreed to the plan. The mission was for a few days. But Ezra was not important too much about it. He had more concerns.
Ezra started to feel bad. His sickness got worse. He began to moan softly. But Hera noticed.
- Ezra, are you feeling well? - she asked.
It took a while to answer, still feeling seasickness.
- Y-Yes... Do not worry. I am fine. - Ezra said.
But Ezra shrugged. He went out of his chair and ran to a dumpster. He threw up there. Kanan, feeling that his boyfriend was sick, ran over and took off his blue hair face the front of his secret lover. Hera walked over to him.
After Ezra over, Hera looked directly into the blue eyes of the boy.
- You're really not well. - She said - You, go to your room and until we find out what you have, you will not for any mission! - she said.
Ezra said nothing, but nodded. Kanan took Ezra to his room, while the crew looked at them.
When Kanan opened the bedroom door, Ezra then went to bed. It was the first time he sat on that bed, it was not the first to throw it. The Jedi sat next to the padawan.
- Ez, what do you think you have? - he asked.
Ezra looked into his boyfriend's eyes. He knew what he had, but was afraid to tell him.
- I... I do not know ... - he replied.
Kanan was quiet. He looked sadly at her lover, but soon gave a loving smile. He moved closer to Ezra, hugged him and kissed him.
- You'll be fine, love. You should be just sick. I will take care of you. - He said, kissing the cheek of Ezra.
The boy smiled.
- Thank you love. - Ezra said.
- No problem. - Kanan said. - I need to go, but if you need anything, anything, I'll come there any time. - he give a CommLink.
Ezra took it and smiled, he also rolled his eyes.
- Okay, okay, ponytail. Do not exaggerate! - Ezra laughed.
Kanan again, kissed Ezra, laughing. So Kanan got out of bed, he gave a loving look at the padawan and left the room. Ezra smiled, but only while he was inside the room. When he left, Ezra discouraged.
He took something from his boot. It looked like a thermometer, but it was different. In fact, it was a pregnancy test. And positive. And it was Ezra. He began to cry. The baby was Kanan's. How this was possible, he did not know.
In bed, he lay down and began to cry silently.
- What I'll do? - he thought.
After a few days, the mission was over, and Ezra still could not do anything. Feeling the first symptoms of pregnancy, and lying be a disease. Even he had not told Kanan. What else let him worried. If he was not going to tell his boyfriend, the child's father, who count?
He was in the room with a hand pill. He did not know what he was doing. Well, he knew, but could not believe he was doing at that time. He was going to abort. He did not believe he would do.
He began to cry. He could not believe he was going to abort the pregnancy. But he knew that a rebellion was not the best place for a child, especially that Ezra was not old enough to have babies. And he did not even know if he would survive the labor.
He was about to direct the pill into the mouth using Kanan entered the room.
- Ezra, you are feelin... - he paused and gasped in fright - Ezra! - He ran up to his boyfriend and tossed the pill away - What are you doing? What is it? - he asked.
Ezra could not face his boyfriend, he was crying too. Kanan continued to look at him, but then he looked at the pill quickly.
- Ezra, what is it? - he asked.
The padawan continued crying. Kanan kept looking at him, and Ezra noted. He took a deep breath and wiped his tears.
- Pills... Ah... Abort ... - Ezra finally admitted.
- A-Abortion? What? Ez, why... - he stopped when he noticed.
Kanan's eyes widened. Ezra started to cry a little while Kanan was still shocked. The boy took something from his boot. The positive pregnancy test. He gave his boyfriend, who's eyes widened.
- I-I'm pregnant... - Ezra said, starting to cry a little.
Kanan looked back at the test, and then to Ezra, and then turned his attention to the small object.
- I'm sorry... I'm sorry... - the padawan kept repeating in a low voice.
The Jedi looked again at the padawan, who was in tears.
- Ezra... you... was going to abort?... - he looked at the boy.
Ezra was very bland. He was totally sorry.
- I... I... do not knew how you would react... A baby... The crew... In the rebellion... I would not know how caring a baby... You can! But I only have... 15... I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I do not... - he stopped when Kanan kissed him suddenly.
The man kissed his boyfriend in tears. Ezra's eyes widened in surprise. After a minute of kissing, the two finally separated. Ezra's tears that were coming down his face before were already dry. And his eyes were wide.
- Ezra, this is the best news you could give me! - Kanan smiled, but the smile soon faded. - Why would you abort? -
Ezra was speechless. He did not really believe he was going to do it.
- I... I... I don't know! I was scared and... I did not know what I would do! I... Oh... I'm horrible! - Ezra said crying.
Kanan was silent. He understood why hos boyfriend was going to do it. Luckily, he was there to stop it. The Jedi raised his hand and touched the cheek of Ezra, he wiped his tears with his finger.
- Ezra Bridger, I... I'm very happy with what's going on. A baby. This is a miracle! I-I do not know how a man get pregnant is possible!... In so many places and couples of the galaxy, this happened well with us! - He smiled - You can not just abort. Yes, it is shocking and a little disturbing but, Ez, is a life. - Kanan rubbed Ezra's belly - Let's have a baby. Let's be a family. -
The padawan smiled. The two embraced, as they wept with joy.
- I'm sorry... For... Try abort... If wasn't you... I would have killed that baby... - Ezra said softly.
Kanan giggled.
- I know you were not happy doing it, so I stopped. I understand that you have questions about being a parent, but no matter when and where, in love or sorrow, I'll help you. I'll help you take care of our child. - Kanan said, smiling lovingly. - Let's do it together. -
- Thanks. - Ezra sighed - You'll be a good father! -
- And you will be too. - Kanan said, smiling.
Ezra then kissed him on the cheek Kanan.
- Well... If we take care of this child, together, you will be in charge of changing diapers! - Ezra pointed to Kanan's chest.
The Jedi laughed as he also sighed.
- We can not share this "wonderful" charge? - he laughed.
Ezra started to laugh a little.
- No. You had the idea of sleeping together a few nights, you going to face this charge! - Ezra laughed.
Kanan giggled. He put his hands around Ezra belly. He bent down and started talking to his boyfriend's belly.
- Hi. I'm your daddy Kanan! You're... kind of a surprise! - Kanan laughed - but I loved this surprise. I want you to know that I will not try to be a good father, I am going to be a good father. Because do or do not, there is no try. - He said, and Ezra rolled his smiling eyes - I can't wait to meet you in 9 months! Let's be a family, you, me and your... um... - Kanan looked at Ezra.
- Mother. He or she will call me like that. - Ezra replied, kissing the head of Kanan.
Kanan giggled.
- Mom. - He kissed his boyfriend's belly. - And believe me I'll protect you both with my life, and I will always love you. - He kissed his boyfriend's belly, again.
Ezra laughed a little. Kanan stood up, and the lips of the two touched again. The padawan put his arms around the Master's neck, and he put his hands in the belly of padawan again.
They would be a family. After so long without someone, the two would be a family.
