"Yummy messy root," I cooed in an attempt to get Plo to eat the vegetable mash. I was growing frustrated since my six-month-old son was more interested in playing with his food than eating it. "Please? Please eat the yummy mash?" I begged. Plo stuck his tongue out and spat up the small amount in his mouth. "Plo," I groaned, shaking my head.
Suu hadn't had any trouble feeding him the mash last night; so why was he giving me a hard time? I wasn't sure what to do, and Plo's presence in the Force was growing more agitated. "Come on…one mouth full? Then you can have your milk." Plo opened his mouth, only to spit out what was left inside. I tossed the spoon aside and gave up. In disgust, I wiped the food off my face. "Plo, that's not nice," I chided. The door opened and I looked up as Rex came into the house, still dirty from the field.
"You need to do what your mama says," Rex said, walking over and running a hand over my head gently. Plo lifted his arms for Rex, but Rex shook his head. "Eat your lunch." He pulled a chair over and mixed up the small amount of food. "Open up," Rex smiled. Plo did as he was told as Rex made the sound of a ship "flying" the food into Plo's mouth. "Eating should be fun," Rex grinned at me as Plo continued eating, his eyes on his daddy.
"It was fun," I pouted. "Until we decided it was more fun to spit it up."
"You didn't do that?" Rex laughed at Plo. "We Mandos love our food."
"If it comes from the breast," Fives grinned, walking into the kitchen and grabbing a beer. Frowning, I used the Force to toss a piece of fruit at his head. Thankfully, it missed him. But as I called it back with the Force, Fives ducked into the living room.
"See? Fives and Plo are conspiring against me!" I whined, banging my head against the table.
"Papa is trouble," Rex laughed, looking at Plo. "Just do what daddy says."
"Da!"
I looked up in shock at the small sound from Plo. "Say that again?" I whispered disbelievingly.
"Da!" Plo gurgled, waving his arms in excitement. Rex picked up Plo and pulled him close.
"Again?" Rex asked, shocked. Plo stared blankly at Rex, placing his fist into his mouth and sucking on it. "Did he say 'dad'?" Rex whispered softly, kissing Plo's head.
"I believe so," I smiled, reaching up to pet Plo's full cheek.
"He said 'dad,'" Rex laughed softly, tears gathering in his eyes.
"Can you say it again?" I asked. Plo only grabbed my hand and began chewing on my finger. "I guess lunch is done." I looked down at the small mess around the high chair. "He's not going to eat the root."
"Give him some milk. I'll clean up." Rex kissed my forehead and passed me Plo.
"What does Auntie Suu do that I don't?" I wondered, sitting down on the bed and undoing my top. Plo just watched silently as I scooted over to him and sat him on my lap. He instantly grabbed for my breast.
I checked him over using the Force, attempting to understand just why he had been so cranky. He seemed to be having a problem with his mouth, since he wasn't drinking from me, just suckling and nipping. "Does your mouth hurt?" I asked gently, removing my breast from his mouth and placing a finger inside, trying to find the source of the pain. I smiled when I found the little tooth trying to cut through. "That's why you're grumpy," I smiled, messing up Plo's hair. "A little tiny baby tooth." Plo bit down on my finger as I laughed.
After placing Plo in his crib in the nursery, I walked back into the bedroom. Rex tackled me playfully, tossing me onto the bed and crawling over me before I had time to react. As he held me down, the lust in his eyes was more than evidence of what he really wanted.
"Hello," I smiled playfully, petting his cheek as he pressed his weight into me. "What's got you in such a good mood?"
"You," Rex smiled gently as he started kissing up my neck. "I couldn't be a luckier man."
"Really?" I giggled, arching into his hands as they wandered over my chest.
"I need you," Rex groaned as he removed my shirt, tossing it away. I noticed that although his tone was husky with lust, his eyes betrayed the sincere meaning of his words.
"I've noticed," I swallowed thickly, kissing him back as he undressed me. Quickly returning his attention to my chest, he carefully kissed my somewhat swollen breasts.
"Hush," Rex laughed softly, pushing me back gently and pulling up my skirt. I leaned back, piling the blankets behind me as Rex ran his hands over my thinner stomach. (I had finally lost most of the baby weight.) Playing with his short hair, I purred as Rex ran small kisses over my stomach. My purring quickly turned into moans when Rex slipped his tongue into my navel. Removing my skirt and underwear, he kissed my womanhood. I gasped sharply, leaning up as Rex reached behind me and grabbed my bottom, still teasing me. His tongue entered me, causing me to cry out. I gasped as his free hand slowly wandered up my stomach, continuing to tease me.
A set of hands grabbed my own, forcing them above my head. I looked up to see Fives smiling down at me as Rex continued his ministrations. "This is cheating," I pouted, wiggling around. I moved my head to the side, growling as I attempted to bite Fives's leg.
"So is biting," Fives chuckled before grabbing my chin and forcing me to look up at him.
"You've never complained before," I smirked as Rex bit my clit gently. I tried to bite my lip to prevent from screaming out too loudly. I shook as a series of small orgasms raged though my body.
"I never will," Rex smiled before kissing my lips gently. Fives's hands wandered down my breasts as I leaned into Rex. Rex laughed as he sat up, guiding me onto his lap.
"I hope not," I whimpered as I sat down in his lap. I moaned as he slipped into me, stretching and filling me in an achingly familiar way. My pulse sped up as I began to feel him throbbing inside me. I ground down onto him, desperate to get closer.
"At least she can't bite me from there," Fives smiled, his chest leaning up against my back as he rocked me against Rex, causing me to cry out in pleasure.
"Can I come in?" Aalya asked, poking her head into the bedroom.
"I'll come out," I laughed as Rex unhooked his leg from mine. I grabbed my housecoat and stepped out of the room. "What's going on?"
"I saw something while meditating," Aayla said. " I need to go investigate."
"What did you see?" I wondered.
"I there is a child on Dantooine," Aayla smiled, excited, while she led me into her room.
"Dantooine?" I repeated. "When are you leaving?"
"As soon as I can get a transport," Aayla said, petting my lekku gently. "I'll take Bly with me…for company."
"Of course," I grinned. Aayla smiled, but her expression quickly turned serious.
"You'll watch over my son?" she asked.
"Of course," I smiled, stretching. "Does Neno know that you're leaving yet?"
"Bly took Neno outside to explain," Aayla nodded. "I think he understands."
"We'll see," I smiled as Aayla packed, tossing several things into her bag.
"I wish I could come too," I sighed, refolding her clothes and placing them back in their place. "You seem to be going on all the adventures."
"You'll get to travel soon enough. Soon Plo will be able to eat real food, and then you will be able to travel with me."
"Seems like a long time," I admitted. "It's been forever since I've been able to do anything useful."
"Useful?" Aayla repeated, shaking her head. "Because childcare, cooking, and cleaning while caring for two husbands and a baby means you are lazy?"
I shrugged, "I just feel like I am missing out."
"I'll bring home some fun," Aayla promised, hugging me close. "We'll stop by the base and see if they have any news for us." I nodded, understanding that Aayla was trying to comfort me. "Besides, if all goes well, you can go collect the next child," Aayla smiled. "That way, I can collect two, and then you can collect two."
Aayla picked up her bag and looked at me, her face troubled. "Neno is still having nightmares."
I sat up, surprised. "Still? I thought he stopped."
Aayla shook her head. "He has only become quieter, and he tries to cover it up. He wakes up and crawls into bed with Bly and me."
"I am sure he can fit into bed with us," I reassured, hoping the bed was big enough. "If he doesn't fit in the bed, we'll toss him into the crib with Plo."
"That is a cute image," Aayla laughed gently. "All right…I think I have everything."
"Your papers?" I asked, looking at the bag. The dreaded, hated papers were for safety purposes only. Both Aayla and I had gotten them long ago…fake slave documents in case we needed to travel without looking too suspicious.
"Got them," Aayla sighed. "At least Bly no longer looks like a trooper."
"None of our husbands do anymore," I whispered thankfully.
"You'll see, Ahsoka. One day we will be free again…able to travel to the Inner Core without these papers, without fear that we will be caught and killed," Aayla declared fiercely.
"Just come back to us," I whispered as Aayla hugged me. "I can't lose you."
"I am not going anywhere," Aayla promised, kissing my forehead.
