36. Chapter 35

Endor

We were already a standard month on Endor and the Ewoks were very friendly to us. But their curiosity was somehow unnerving to me. Since I had nothing else to do, I had begun to learn a bit Ewokese.
Strangely enough, these little furry non-humans were very interested in my pregnancy. As far as I understood them, it was unusual for them to see a female give birth to several children at once.

One morning, Dash came to me with a suggestion that I agreed to, albeit hesitantly.
"I've been wondering if it's really good for the triplets to be born here on Endor. The tribe's shaman may be very good, but he has no experience in human midwifery. What if there are complications at birth? Although 2-1B is perfectly programmed, I don't want our children to feel the cold gripper arms of a droid as a first impression of the world they are born into. That's why I wanted to ask you if you fly with me to Corellia. Now that you are in the 8th month, the flight would be still possible. We could either take the Aquarius or the Outrider.
Please agree, Nomi."
Dash seemed really to worry about me. After careful consideration I came to the conclusion that he was right. It would be better if the triplets were born on a civilized planet. And why Dash's choice had fallen on Corellia, was understandable. He was born and raised on Coruscant, but his family was originally from Corellia. Dash, Biggs and Corran would become native Corellians with a Tatooinian mother and a Corellian father. If that's not a good combination.
"I agree, if 2-1B agrees, Dash."
Dash was visibly pleased with my quick approval, which he wasn't used to.
"I've already asked him and he has confirmed to me that the journey is still possible without problems. We can leave today."
"Then I'll pack and bring our stuff into the Outrider. I think it's better if we take your ship. We can pick up the Aquarius from here on occasion."

Of course, Dash didn't allow me to carry our few possessions into the ship.
"How many times should I tell you that you shouldn't work so hard."
He took the crate out of my hand and instructed Leebo to bring it to the Outrider. When everything was ready, we said goodbye to the Ewoks and the Alliance members who would stay on the forest moon.
Then we entered the Outrider and started towards Corellia.
