Ezra woke up in the middle of the night when the mattress jerked as Sabine jumped out of bed.
"S'bine?" He asked, voice heavy with sleep.
However, she didn't answer as she ran to the 'fresher. Ezra sat up and rubbed his eyes, then, he looked at the chrono: 2:45 a.m. It said. Knowing he wouldn't be able to go back to sleep until he was sure his wife was fine so he got up, put on his t-shirt and walked to the 'fresher.
He stood outside the 'refresher and winced as he heard Sabine emptying her stomach. "Sabine?" He called her softly. "Babe, are you okay?" He asked but didn't receive an answer.
The young man sighed and went to sit on the bed.
Sabine came out from the 'fresher a couple of minutes later and was surprised to see Ezra awake and sitting on their bed.
"Hey." She said softly.
"Hey." He said. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." She answered. "I think I ate something bad."
"Are you sure?" He asked worried.
"Yeah." She said. "It's just a stomach bug, it will pass in a few days. Don't worry, okay?"
"Okay."
She smiled softly but Ezra could feel it was a forced smile. The Mandalorian walked to the bed and laid down; Ezra sighed softly and laid down next to his wife.
"I'm sorry I wake you up." She said.
"It's okay, you know I'm not mad." He said as he traced her cheekbone.
"I love you, Ez." She said.
He placed a kiss on her forehead. "I love you too, my beautiful artist." He whispered against her skin.
She smiled and buried her face into his chest and soon, she fell asleep.
Sabine woke up when she felt the sun coming through the window. She rolled on her back and patted the space beside her; she opened her eyes only to confirm that Ezra was no longer in bed, however, when she sat up, a small wave of nausea hit her; she jumped out from bed and rushed to the 'fresher.
She didn't hear Ezra walking into the 'fresher and kneeling beside her while she was bent over the toilet throwing up what was left in her stomach.
"It's okay, babe." Ezra's voice said as he ran a soothing hand up and down her back. "Just let it out." He said and sent calming waves through the Force.
Once she was finished, the Mandalorian slumped against Ezra and the young man wrapped his arms around her. "Are you okay?" He asked.
"Yes, I think I am." She said as Ezra helped her on her feet.
"'Bine, I think you should go to the doctor." The young man said.
"I'm fine, Ezra." She answered rather annoyed and leaned against the sink. "It's just a stomach bug; it will be gone in a few days."
"I'm sorry, Sabine." The Jedi said. "It's just…you have been pretty tired these past few weeks and now…this. I'm starting to get worried." He said. "Just promise me you'll go to the doctor if you don't get better by the end of the week."
Sabine took a deep breath. "I promise, Ez." She said.
Ezra nodded. "I was going to make breakfast. Think you can keep anything down?" He said.
The Mandalorian shook her head. "Something light. I don't think I can handle space-waffles or eggs right now." She said.
"Okay." The Jedi said and went to the kitchen.
Sabine sighed and flushed the toilet, then, she brushed her teeth. Once she finished, she looked at herself in the mirror and groaned when she saw her reflection; her hair was a mess, she had bags under her eyes and she looked a little bit pale. Maybe Ezra was right, maybe she should go to the doctor. She shook her head. It's just a stomach bug, it will be gone in a few days. She thought and washed her face.
Sabine's condition didn't improve much at all over the next few days but didn't worsen either, so Ezra didn't pressure her again to go to the doctor. She also decided to reduce the days she thought art at Lothal's school and change the days she worked as a curator at Lothal's Art Museum; Ezra had also convinced her to stay back at the tower and take a few days so she could get better but it was until the end of the week that she discovered what was happening to her.
Sabine paced around the bedroom as she waited for the alarm in her datapad to go off. After emptying her stomach that morning and assuring her husband that she would be fine while he went to work, she took a pregnancy test. She didn't know what she was going to do if the test was positive, she and Ezra had talked about having kids and they had both agreed that they would have them when they felt ready to be parents but she never thought that they would have kids so soon.
Her thoughts were broken when the alarm oh her datapad went off, she turned it off and took a deep breath before taking the pregnancy test with shaky hands. She froze when she saw the result: positive. She was pregnant and she and Ezra would be parents, however, she didn't know how to feel.
She knew Ezra would be ecstatic by the news but she wasn't very happy, it's not she didn't want kids, she did want them but she was afraid of not being a good mother, she was afraid to be like her mother.
Ever since she could remember, her mother was never very affectionate with her but she couldn't blame her, though. Ursa had been raised in the traditional Mandalorian way, where from an early age, they were taught not to show weakness and that implied not showing affection so openly. Sabine frowned and instinctively, she placed a hand on her still-flat abdomen and she promised herself that she would never make the same mistakes her mother made and she would always tell her kids that she loved them very much.
She also knew Ezra would be an amazing father since he was good with kids. A wide smile appeared on her face when she remembered the last time Jacen had stayed with them; she had gone to Capitol City for some supplies and when she returned to the tower, she found them napping on the couch.
She smiled at the sight in front of her, Ezra was lying on the couch while Jacen was cuddled into his side and Cuyan was sleeping on the floor as the holomovie was still playing. She turned off the holoscreen, took a spare blanket and draped it over them, then, she took a holopicture and went to her studio to immortalize the cute moment.
The sound of the elevator going up broke her thoughts, she looked at the chrono and realized Ezra was back home. She took a deep breath to steady her nerves and went to the living room; she smiled softly when she saw Ezra petting Cuyan.
The young man looked up and smiled when he saw her.
"Hi." He said.
"Hi." She said smiling.
She pushed herself from the doorway and walked up to him, then, she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. "I missed you." She said when they broke apart.
"I missed you too." He said and pecked their lips.
"How was your day?" She asked as Ezra moved to the kitchen and took out the things from the bag.
"It was good." He said. "The kids asked me when you were going to return. They really miss you." He said with a soft smile on the face.
"That's very sweet of them." The Mandalorian answered.
"Yeah, so…how have you been feeling?" The Jedi asked.
"Better." She answered. "I know what's wrong with me; I just needed a couple of days to be sure." She said.
Ezra frowned and walked up to her. "What do you mean?" He asked.
"Don't worry, it's nothing bad." Sabine answered. "At least I hope it's not bad." She said, suddenly feeling very nervous about her husband's reaction.
"'Bine, please tell me what's wrong." He said and sat down next to her. "Whatever it is, we will face it together."
The Mandalorian smiled softly at his concern and took a deep breath. It's now or never. "How do you think Hera is going to like being called 'Nana'?" She asked.
Ezra stared at her in confusion as the words sank in. "Wait...Are you… are you saying you're…?" He stammered.
Sabine nodded, then, she took his hand and rested it over her stomach. "I found out this morning." She said softly.
Sabine started to get worried when he didn't react; maybe it was a bad idea to tell Ezra that he was going to be a father but she knew that if she didn't tell him, sooner or later, he would find out she was pregnant and maybe he could be hurt that she didn't have the confidence to tell him.
However, before she could say something else, he seized by the shoulders and pulled her into a deep embrace, lifting her from the ground and spinning her around. He set her down and gave her a long, passionate kiss.
"I'm going to be a dad!" Ezra said excitedly.
"Are…are you happy?" The Mandalorian asked.
"Sabine, I'm…I'm thrilled." He said with a big and dorky smile on his face, however, he frowned when she looked away. "Hey, what's wrong?"
"It's just…" The Mandalorian sighed. "We already agreed on having kids when we were both ready." She said.
"Are you not ready?" He asked confused.
"No, it's not that." She said. "It's just…I don't think I'm going to be a good mother." She murmured.
"My mom wasn't a great model and…I don't know…I guess I'm scared to be like her." She said and hanged her head.
"Cyar'ika…I've seen you with Jacen and I have seen how much you love him." The Jedi said and lifted her chin. "That's why I know you're going to be an amazing mother." He said with a soft smile on his face.
"You really think that?" She asked.
He nodded. "I do; besides, we had the best model in the galaxy." He said.
"Yeah, I guess you're right." She said, then, she placed a hand on the back of Ezra's head and pulled him down to kiss him fiercely on the lips.
"I love you so much, Ez." She said when they broke apart.
"I love you too, babe." He said and kissed her again.
