The once warm summer air changes to a cool fall. Not quite chilly but still nice all the same.
On a crisp morning Jaig is having his lesson with master Yoda and a few younglings. Mostly working on keeping focus on a small object and keeping it levitated for as long as they can.
Aleu watches happily sitting on a mat. She was now three months a long and do any day so she's kept near the temple just in case. Not that she minds, this way she gets to watch over Jaig's beginning training.
Jaig tries to keep a ball levitated but keeps loosing focus. His ears drooped as he puffs his cheeks sitting cross armed.
"What's wrong youngone?" Yoda walks over to him.
"Too hard." Jaig pouts.
"Like mother you are. Pout she did when frustrated." Yoda chuckles at the memory of her as a pup in the lessons. "But strong you are, clear mind you must." he smiles at the pup.
"How?" Jaig looks at the master not wanting to be the last in the class to do it.
"Try thinking of something else. Something that makes you happy, it helps to give you a light feeling when levitating." Aleu explains.
Jaig nods and does as asked. He thinks about playing soldiers with his dad and uncle Coco. He smiles and the ball levitates. He slowly opens his eyes and nearly drops it being excited it was up but caught it.
Aleu had to give a small laugh at that. He really is her son, same thing happened to her the first time she did that.
"Yay Jaig! Yay!" The little youngones cheer for their friend.
'That's so cute.' Aleu smiles at the sweet moment.
"Come now. Lunch a waits us." Yoda nods to them.
"Kay!" They all cheer dropping the bouncy balls.
"I'll pick them u-" Aleu begins to bend over feeling a hard kick.
"Mommy?" Jaig rushes over worried.
"What's wrong? Is she okay?" The younglings look worried.
"Go. Tell the others to medbay we've gone. New youngling coming she is." Yoda motions for the kids to go.
"Kay." They nod running off.
"Mommy…" Jaig's ears droop.
"G-go on pup. I-I'll be okay." Aleu huffs standing up.
Jaig nods heading off with his friends.
While heading to the medbay Aleu had to stop holding her stomach taking deep breaths. Anakin came running around then having felt something off. He saw Aleu needed help and brought her to the medbay.
Hearing Rex was stuck at the embassy with Padme Anakin stays with her. Aleu was scared and needed a hand to hold.
Jaig stayed with the younglings and slightly older kids as he waited for his dad or news about his mom and little sister. The others pet his back trying to keep him calm.
A few hours later Rex comes running down the temple halls. Jaig hugs his dad then his aunty as Rex goes to talk with Anakin.
"How is she? Are they both okay?" Rex looks worried.
"Fine. They're both fine." Anakin assures him.
"Thank the force. Where are they? Can I see them?" Rex sighs with relief.
"Aleu's resting right now but you can see Pix if you'd like." Anakin motions for him to fallow him.
"Jaig come too?" Jaig's ears droop tugging at his dad's pant leg.
"Jaig come too." Rex picks him up.
The two follow Anakin to the room Pix is in. The window looking in on the room was crowded by youngones of different ages. Each trying to get a look of the new pup.
"Come on kids, back to lessons." Anakin shoes them off gently. "I'm going to check on Padme, take your time." He pats Rex's shoulder before heading off.
Rex nods then heads in with Jaig. Both look down at the sleeping pup. Aside from small tuffs of curly blond hair she looks just like Aleu wrapped in a little purple blanket.
"So lil." Jaig looks down into the crib.
"Yeah, she is." Rex smiles with a few tears in his eyes.
"Sad daddy?" Jaig looks at his dad confused.
"No. No these are happy tears." Rex chuckles a bit wiping them away.
After a few minutes they go to check on Aleu. Aleu wakes up to Jaig crawling on to the bed nuzzling him and kissing Rex. She soon falls a sleep with her guys snuggling her close.
Rex, unable to sleep, goes to check on Pix. While looking in on her the little one wakes up. She looks up at the new face yipping happily with her amber eyes sparkling with curiosity.
"Hi princess. I'm your daddy." Rex picks her up caressing her cheek with a finger.
Pix grabs a hold of his finger gumming it as he chuckles. She soon falls back asleep laying against her dad still holding his finger.
