Jyn's pregnancy was hardly an easy one.

At first, after figuring out what they wanted to do, Cassian wouldn't shut up about becoming a father. It was practically the first thing out of his mouth to everyone he met. He would go up to someone, with a huge grin on his face, and gesture to Jyn, all while talking rapidly.

Jyn didn't like the attention. Attention always meant bad news. Eventually, when Cassian would start talking, people would just roll their eyes with a slight smile but humor him anyways.

Then she got sick.

First, it seemed to be just a cold, and Jyn worked around it like always. Then it got worse. Cassian insisted she rest, but Jyn wasn't one for resting, she hated it, the sitting still, doing nothing. She worked through it, but got weaker and sicker, until she was literally carried to the medbay by a very worried Cassian.

She had to stay there for two weeks until the medics deemed her well enough to go back to her room.

By this time she was 4 months pregnant.

A month later, her pee began to turn slightly red.

A week of that, and she began to get chills.

Then it was fever.

The nausea and vomiting.

And then she was so sick, and very high fever, and she was rushed to the hospital.

She was 6 months pregnant.

The Medics said she was on bed rest for the rest of her pregnancy. Not only was she underweight for a pregnant woman of 6 months, but she had a severe urinary tract infection. It took her three weeks to beat it and then she was confined to her and Cassian's room.

She was so, so scared.

Sometimes the only way to tell if this was real was to sit up late at night with her arms wrapped around her belly, telling herself it would be okay. Cassian, oh, long-suffering, patient Cassian, would sit up with her, arms around her, and tell her about the farm they would build when this was over, and their family, and how great their baby would be.

This was what grounded her.

The late night talks of nothing and everything, what his favorite color will be, what his favorite story would be, and they spoke of names.

Halen Lyra.

Galen Bodhi.

It was in the middle of one of Cassian's late meetings when the rebooted K2 came in announcing very loudly that Jyn was in labor and chances of a complicated delivery were 87.6%.

Cassian very understandably ran as fast as humanly possible to the medbay.

Six hours and ten minutes later, Jyn Erso gave birth to Galen Bodhi Andor, and as soon as she held him, making sure he was alive, was okay, she passed out, completely worn out.

Cassian Andor very proudly carried his tiny baby son out to the waiting room where Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Shara, Kes, and Poe Dameron, plus others, were waiting. Shara held him first, of course, as Galen's godmother. Then Kes and Poe. Then to Luke, who held him somewhat awkwardly, while Han peered curiously over his shoulder, with his Wookie learning over his shoulder.

As soon as Jyn woke up, she held her baby, her little Starburst close to her, while Cassian held the both of them.
