Chapter 4
One month later, Sabine had started to show and was officially out of commission. Rex had joined them to assist them in the missions the other Generals gave them, also in this time the Mandalorian started with cravings and mood swings.
It was around midnight when Zeb woke up to use the refresher, when he returned to his room, he noticed the young Jedi sleeping in his old bunk. "Uh…kid?" Zeb asked confused to see his old roommate here. He shook him gently. "Ezra?"
"What?" Ezra asked drowsily.
"What are you doing here?" The Last asked. "Y'know your room is across the hallway, right?"
"Yeah, I know." The Jedi answered. "Sabine kicked me out of 'her room'." He said.
Zeb chuckled. "What did you do this time?" He asked.
Ezra shook his head. "Nothing. She was in one of her mood swings. Kanan advised me to pay attention to her and talk again with her once she's out of that mood or is in a happy one."
"Sounds logical, coming from the guy who spent a whole week sleeping in the Phantom after not listening his wife." The Lasat said.
Ezra nodded. "So…it's okay if I sleep here tonight?" He asked.
"Sure, kid. It was your room after all." The Lasat said and laid down. Before both of them could fell asleep, the door opened. Ezra looked at the door and saw Sabine leaning in the doorway.
"'Bine?" He asked. "Sweetheart, are you okay?"
She nodded. "Yes, I got a craving and woke up but I think Mira misses her daddy." She said.
The young Jedi smiled softly. "Can you make me a hot chocolate and then we can go back to our room?" She asked.
"Sure." He answered and climbed down from his bunk. "Night, Zeb."
"Night, love birds." The Last said and fell asleep.
Two days later, Sabine was walking around the base looking for Ezra, when she spotted him, she walked towards him. "Hey, Jedi."
"Hey." He said. "You okay?" He asked when he saw her with a wide smile on her face.
"Yeah, I'm fine." She answered and looked down at her baby bump. "I think I felt a kick this morning." She said smiling.
"Really?" The young Jedi asked surprised.
The Mandalorian nodded. Ezra smiled in return and took her hand. "C'mon." He led her to an empty room; he placed his hand on her belly and waited for a kick of their daughter. "She stopped." He whispered.
"She knows her daddy is here." The Mandalorian said smiling.
"Huh. Next time call me, okay?"
She nodded and they returned to their tasks. The rest of the day was just as normal as the rebels can have it. After a succesful supply run for one of their contacts, the Ghost crew got ready for a well-earned rest while the ship was returning to Dantooine.
Ezra walked into their room later that night but stopped at the doorway and smiled softly at the sight in front of him. Sabine looked up from her sketchbook a couple of minutes later when she felt someone staring at her. "Ezra?" She asked. "Sweetheart, is everything okay?"
The young Jedi continued smiling and walked up to the bed. "Yeah, I was just relishing the moment and thinking how far we have come." He said sitting next to his wife.
"Really?" She asked.
The young Jedi nodded. "Yeah. When we first met, you didn't even want me around and now, we're married and we're going to have a child." He said.
She smiled. "Yeah, like Kanan once said 'The Force works in mysterious ways'." She said and wrapped her arms around his neck.
He laughed softly. "I guess you're right." He leaned down and kissed her softly on the lips. After they broke up, the young Jedi got up from bed and started to change into his nightwear when Sabine called him.
"Ezra."
"What is it?" He asked.
"Come here, quick." She said and held out her hand.
The young man raised an eyebrow and walked closer to the bed. He held out his hand and the young woman took it and led it to her belly. Ezra's eyes widen in surprise when he felt Mira's kicks against his hand, he met eyes with his wife and gave her a wide smile while tears of joy formed in the corner of his eyes.
"Hey there, baby girl." He said softly kneeling in front of Sabine. "Your mommy and I love you very much." He kissed the baby bump and smiled lovingly at Sabine. "I love you."
"I love you too." She said smiling.
A little while later, the young couple laid down on the bed. The young Jedi wrapped an arm around Sabine and pulled her closer to him until her back was pressed against his chest. "Night, baby girl." He said and placed his hand on his wife's belly.
She smiled and placed her hand on top of his larger one. "Night, sweetheart. Your daddy and I love you very much."
