Chapter 7

Apparently I accidentally updated this chapter with Chapter 7 from Injured, thanks to united88 and a couple Guests, I wouldn't have known. Thanks for the notice.

*A few weeks from where the last chapter left off*

Sabine was sitting in the refresher, her knees pulled up to her chest, as she looked at the results. That's what I thought... she thought to herself, smiling. She has already taken 4 tests and a medical visit, so it's been confirmed.

She heard the door to the bedroom open, so she quickly threw away the test and walked out of the refresher.

"Sabine?" Ezra asked. "Are you alright?"

"Y-Yeah... Why wouldn't I be?" she couldn't stop smiling, and also seemed to be glowing.

"Alright, what did you do this time?" he asked, setting his helmet on the desk, next to his other helmets.

"It's nothing. Just had a silly thought," she lied. She couldn't tell him just yet, she didn't know how. For that matter she couldn't tell anybody, and she wanted Ezra to be the first to know.

"H-How was your day?" she asked nervously. Really Wren? 'How was your day?' Is that the best you can come up with? she yelled at herself, internally.

Ezra raised an eyebrow, She's definitely hiding something.

He walked into the refresher, "Are you sure you aren't up to something?"

"I... I'm really not up to anything," she said again, blushing. She literally could not stop smiling.

Ezra looked at her again. He didn't want to read her thoughts, if she didn't want to tell what she was thinking.

"Alright, then," he sighed.

"E-Ezra," Sabine started. She knows he won't understand what she's going to say. "Ni cuy' yaihadla," she said with a smile. She was also blushing, her entire face was red. Before Ezra could ask her what she said, she already ran out of the room.

He just stood in the middle of the room, confused. He figured out how to say it, but not what it meant.

"'Ni cuy' yaihadla'?" he wondered.

*Ni cuy' yaihadla - I am pregnant*

Sabine went to one of the balconies on Yavin, and watched the sun set. She felt arms grab her from behind, and she turned to see Ezra.

"You are going to have to translate what you said to english," he whispered. She could feel his breath on her neck, making her gasp.

"E-Ezra..." she started. She didn't know how to tell him. She still in a little shock, too. It was their first time having unprotected sex and it happened.

"Yes, dear?" he said, coaxing her to tell him.

"I... You're..." Before she could finish, their comms were activated.

"Ezra, Sabine, we need you in the Command Center," Hera said through the comms.

Ezra and Sabine looked at each other. She kissed him softly, and bit his lip, promising she would tell him later.

He understood and they made their way to the Command Center. When they arrived, Hera was waiting for them. She was holding a data pad in her hands.

A lump formed in Sabine's throat, hoping it wasn't what she thought it was. Fortunately it wasn't what she thought, it was another mission for just the two of them.

"It's not another Data mission is it? We have the worst luck with those things," Ezra complained.

"No this time it's a more personal mission," she said handing him the data pad. Ezra looked through it and about dropped it.

"A grocery list?" he asked skeptical of the request.

"Yes. We need you to go to Lothal and find everything on that list. If some things aren't on the list, you are free to find them elsewhere," Hera said. "Now hurry, you don't have time to read it all here. Read it on the way."

Sabine and Ezra ran back to their room and grabbed some gear. A few rations, their weapons, and of course Ezra put on his Mandalorian armor.

Sabine laughed, "You want to go shopping in that?"

"You do it all the time. Besides, it would help me find some things, right?" he said.

"I suppose, but I don't think you'd need it for this," she replied.

"Doesn't hurt to be prepared," he said with a grin.

Sabine placed a kiss on his cheek before leaving for the Starbird.

When they arrived to the hangar, Katherine was standing near the Starbird. She just finished repairing the hull after a tough mission the week before.

She turned around and saw Ezra and Sabine walking towards her.

"Hey you two," she said. "You all ready to go?"

"We are," Sabine said. She looked over at Ezra who was reading the list. He didn't look happy. "Ezra? What's wrong?"

"Meilooruns? Seriously Hera?" he said. Sabine stifled a laugh, but Katherine looked confused.

"I'll explain everything to you, later," Sabine promised.

"Alright then. Your ship is ready to go," she reported.

"Thanks, Kath," Ezra said walking up the ramp, Sabine following close behind.

"Good luck, you two!" Katherine called.

"Thanks! We're going to need it," Ezra said. He sat down in the pilot's chair, and let Sabine take the Starbird's controls.

Once they got to space, Ezra started complaining.

"MEILOORUNS? ARE YOU KRIFFING JOKING?!" he yelled.

"It's only one..." Sabine said, shoulders raised a bit. Ezra collapsed into the pilot's chair again, sighing.

"What do you want to find first?" he asked, hands covering his eyes.

"If you hate it so much, we should get the meiloorun first," she replied.

"That could take a while, but alright," he said, still not too happy about finding a meiloorun. He's had a bad history with those things.

Sabine didn't like to see Ezra look so upset, especially over a fruit. She thought about it for a moment. Upset over a fruit. She giggled which caught Ezra's attention.

"What?" he asked.

"I'm sorry, but what exactly are you upset about? A simple fruit?" she teased.

"I'm not upset, just a bit annoyed. Zeb and I went through a lot of trouble for one meiloorun," he said.

"So you have said before," she said walking over to him. She sat down on his lap and gave him a hug.

Ezra sighed then, "I'm sorry for yelling earlier. You're right, it's stupid to be upset about a fruit."

"I never said that," she said.

"You didn't have to..." suddenly he felt something weird. It was just like the first time he saw Kanan, but it was different at the same time.

Sabine noticed this and had a concerned look on her face. "You alright, love?"

"I..." the feeling was gone, then. "I don't know. I just felt something... and it was very close. As if it was..." His eyes widened then.

"Sabine... What is it you're not telling me?" he asked.

Sabine's heart started beating faster. Uh oh...

Before Sabine could say anything, the navicomputer beeped.

"We're coming up on Lothal," she said quickly.

Ezra nodded as he concentrated on piloting the Starbird to Lothal's surface. Sabine looked away, hiding her face.

'What just happened?' she thought to herself. She remembered when Ezra said he felt Kanan's presence on Lothal, the day they met. She gasped then, a little louder than expected and Ezra heard her.

"Sabine?" he asked worried.

"I'm... I'm ok," she said, taking a deep breath.

Ezra landed the ship on the surface of Lothal, not far from Capital City. As they were unloading the speeder bike, Ezra noticed Sabine not doing much heavy lifting, which was unlike her.

"Ok, talk," he said.

"What?" she replied, surprised a bit.

"We're not going anywhere until you tell me what's going on. You've been acting weird all day," he replied, crossing his arms.

"What do you mean?" she asked, blushing.

"You're not doing any heavy lifting, which you always do, you somehow manage to avoid answering my questions, and... I felt a connection through the Force coming from you," he explained.

Sabine about stopped breathing. 'A Force connection... from me...' She looked down at her still flat stomach in awe.

Ezra took note of this and became concerned. "Sabine," he said as he took her hands. "Please. What are you thinking?"

Sabine took a deep breath, but started to reply, "I... I don't know. There's so much going on in my head, I don't even know."

Ezra pulled her into a hug. "If it's about us..." he started, and Sabine interrupted.

"It is about us..." she said.

Ezra pulled away so he could look at her face. "What's wrong?"

She smiled softly, "Nothing's wrong... it's just..." She bit her lip. "I... I need you to... to meditate."

Ezra stared at her, dumbfounded. "Y-You want me to meditate? Now?"

"Yes. Look through the Force or whatever it is you do..." she said, almost pleading.

"Alright..." he said. He sat on his knees, and started meditating. Sabine just stood there in front of him, waiting.

"W-What do you feel?" she asked anxiously.

"I...I feel... like..." he paused, focusing. "It's like the time I first felt Kanan's presence, only it's coming from you..." he said opening his eyes.

He stood up, but Sabine kept telling him to focus some more. He closed his eyes again.

"Where do you feel the presence?" she asked.

Ezra know's Sabine is not Force sensitive, but whatever it is, it's coming from her. He let the Force guide his movements then. He placed a hand on her shoulder, feeling no solid Force connection. He slid his hand down her arm, and onto her waist. There was a faint connection, it felt closer. His hand moved around her waist and onto her stomach, and he felt something like an electric shock. His eyes shot open and he looked down at his hand, then back at Sabine. She covered his hand with hers, and she seemed to be glowing.

S-S-Sab-bine..." he stammered. He could feel the Force in her stomach, but nowhere else around her.

"Ezra... I'm... I'm pregnant," she forced out.

Ezra looked at her, in shock. "Y-You're... p-p-p-pregnant?" he stuttered, barely able to form words.

"Yes..." she said, bracing herself for what might happen.

"H-H-How long?" he asked then.

"About one month," Sabine replied.

Ezra's mouth was open in shock, as he placed another hand over her stomach.

"W-Why didn't you tell me earlier?" he asked.

"I was waiting for the perfect moment, but I suppose this would work," she said, a bit sad.

Ezra felt guilty. "I-I'm sorry. I should have just..."

"It's fine, love. At least we're not running for our lives this time, so this moment is as perfect as it could be," she said giving Ezra a loving kiss.

"W-We're g-going to be p-parents, right?" he asked, making sure this isn't a dream.

"Yes, we are parents," Sabine said, giggling. She could barely believe it herself.

Suddenly, Hera came over the comms. "Spectre 2 to Spectre 6, how's the grocery shopping going?"

Ezra looked at Sabine who shook her head, telling him not to tell anybody yet.

"I-It's good so far. We found..." Ezra tried to explain, but Hera caught on quick.

"From what I can see on the trackers, you two haven't moved an inch for the past 10 minutes," she said, a concerned tone in her voice.

"We... uhh... h-had some trouble getting the speeders out of the Starbird," he lied, hoping she would buy it. She did with a sigh.

"Alright, but hurry. We need those supplies," Hera said closing the channel. Ezra and Sabine looked at each other, and nodded. They needed to get moving, but Sabine had to take it easy and not work too much.

They climbed on the speeder and drove off. They approached an Imperial checkpoint, so they had to get their IDs out. Luckily it wasn't a thorough examination; No droids or scanners. Just a bored buckethead staring at a card.

"Move along, you two," he said handing their fake IDs back.

"I'm glad that worked," Sabine said, once they were out of earshot.

"If anything we would have had to sneak in again, just like the last time we were here," he said. They both tensed at the memory. They were literally fighting for their lives for like 2 nights, but ended up sleeping an entire day.

"Let's just get our supplies and go. I don't want to start a fight," Sabine said. It was weird hearing her say that, but it wasn't the first time she felt that way, and today was definitely one of those days.

"Not going to argue against that," Ezra replied. He was wearing his helmet at this point and so was Sabine.

He drove the speeder to the market and parked it.

"Alright, so what's going first?" he asked.

"Everything except the meiloorun. We can pick it up if we find it," Sabine replied.

"Just like the last time."

"You were with Zeb last time, dear. Now you're stuck with me," she said, resting a hand on her hip.

"I was stuck with you the second I laid eyes on you," he replied, grinning under his helmet.

"You are so cheesy," she said, but grabbed his hand.

"We should probably stick together. I don't anything to happen to you," he said. Sabine sighed wanting to protest, but also didn't want to risk anything.

"Alright, for once you win," she said.

They walked around the market and bought everything they needed, except, just like last time, they couldn't find a meiloorun.

"Next thing you know, there's going to be a crate of meilooruns headed to an Imperial complex," Ezra said.

"Ooh, but that would make everything more interesting," she joked, touching his arm.

Just then they heard some shouting, just around the corner. They ran around the corner and found a man lying on the ground, surrounded by Imperials.

"Oh great," Ezra said quietly. The Stormtroopers looked at them.

"Great, Mandalorians," one said.

"They're with us remember?" another said.

"I wouldn't be so sure about that," Ezra said quietly.

"What was that?" the Imperial officer asked.

"Nothing important. Just talking to my accomplice," Ezra replied quickly. "By the way, you wouldn't happen to know where we could find some meilooruns, would you?"

"There's a crate here, but it's for Imperials only," the officer said.

"Can't you spare just one to your Mandalorian allies here?" Sabine asked then.

"I'm sorry, I wish I could, but I have orders not to give one away," the officer said. Ezra could sense he meant it. He used the force and lifted one meiloorun out of the box, and up onto a roof. Nobody noticed it, not even Sabine.

"That's ok. We can look somewhere else," Ezra said, motioning for Sabine to follow him.

The Imperials went back to their business, and began transporting the meiloorun crate to wherever they are taking it.

"You let them get away?" Sabine said, about ready to yell at him. But he just climbed up the side of the building and disappeared over the edge. Sabine followed him and saw him standing there, with a meiloorun in his hands.

"You're right, I did let them get away. I just used our distraction to lift one to the roof," Ezra said with a grin, his helmet sitting next to his feet.

"You make things too easy for us, love," she said giving Ezra a quick kiss.

"We should get everything back to the ship. I think we have what we need," Ezra stated.

Sabine nodded and pulled her helmet back on, as did Ezra. They used their jetpacks to get back to their supplies. Somebody was trying to take one of their food crates.

"Excuse me, sir, but I'm afraid that doesn't belong to you," Ezra said, standing behind the figure arms crossed.

The figure stood up and attempted to punch Ezra, but he sidestepped and twisted it's arm behind her back, a move he picked up from Sabine.

"OW! Ok ok ok, I give up! I'm sorry." It sounded like a boy. Sabine pulled the hood off the boy's head and looked at him. He looked no more than 7 years old.

"Who are you, kid?" she asked.

"I'm Justin, I'm 7 years old," he started. "I don't want trouble with the Empire. I swear I just found all this sitting here! I didn't know it was yours."

"Ezra," Sabine said. He let go of the boy's arm and pulled off his helmet.

"We're not with the Empire," Sabine explained.

"Then who are you?" he asked. Ezra sensed the boy's fear subsiding. He was definitely a lonely street rat. He nodded to Sabine, letting her know it's all safe.

"My name is Sabine Wren. I'm from Mandalore," she said. The boy's eyes grew wide and a smile appeared.

"You're a Mandalorian? Him too?" he asked pointing to Ezra.

"No I'm a native to Lothal. The armor was a gift from her family," he explained.

"So you two are close friends?" he asked.

"You could say that," Sabine laughed.

"Where are your parents? I'm sure they're worried," Ezra said.

Justin's expression darkened. "They hate me. They don't want me around."

Sabine and Ezra looked at each other, both of them knowing what they could do.

"Here, we can help you figure things out. Where do you live?" Sabine asked.

"Just on the other side of the market," he said. "I don't want to go home."

"Believe me when I tell you, kid, but you should stay with your parents," Ezra said to him.

"Why?" he asked defiantly.

Ezra had a sad look on his face.

"He lost his parents to the Empire when he was around your age," Sabine said, an equally sad tone in her voice.

"What happened?" Justin asked.

"They were arrested for speaking out against the Empire. A couple years ago, they died while helping some prisoners escape," Ezra explained.

"I'm sorry to hear that. But my parent's don't want me," he said.

"How do you know that?" Sabine asked.

"They yell at me for everything. I don't get to do whatever I want to do," Justin complained.

"Hate to say it, kid, but nobody can do whatever they want to anymore. Whatever you're doing, would probably get you and your family in trouble," Ezra explained. It was obvious he saw himself in this boy, and he didn't want him to end up like him.

"I want to join the Rebellion," he said. Then he saw the starbird on Ezra's shoulder and his eyes grew wide.

"You're with them, aren't you?" Justin asked excited.

"W-What makes you say that?" Ezra asked in return.

"I've seen that symbol all over the news and crime scenes. I recognize it as a Rebel symbol," he replied.

"You are very clever, kid, but I'm afraid you can't join us until you're older," Sabine said.

"Why not? I thought he was with you guys at my age," Justin asked.

"No he was 14 when we found him," she said.

"Actually I found you guys," Ezra protested.

"WE found each other. Better?" she asked.

"I can live with that."

"But back then, we weren't so big. If everything was like how it was back then, it would be easier, but right now it's too dangerous for you," Ezra said.

"Fine, I'll go back to my stupid parents," Justin grumbled.

"You'd miss them if they were taken. Trust me, kid. You don't want that to happen," Ezra said.

"Now let's get you home," Sabine said softly, escorting the boy to his home.

They made it to the front door and knocked. Almost instantly, the door opened to see two upset parents.

"Justin! Where were you?" his mother asked. "And who are you?"

"I'm Sabine. The guy next to me is Ezra. We found your son with our supplies and..." she was cut off.

"JUSTIN! HOW MANY TIME HAVE WE TOLD YOU..." his father started to yell, but Ezra cut him off then.

"There wasn't any trouble, sir. We just wanted to make sure he returned safely," he said.

"Who the hell are you to talk to me in that way?" Justin's father asked. He noticed the orange firebird on Ezra's shoulder then, and gasped.

"You... You two are Rebels?" he asked.

"That's not important right now," Sabine said. "How would you feel if your son was taken by the Empire?" She was getting straight to the point.

"We'd be scared to death. We don't want the Empire to find him doing these things," his mother said.

"If anything happened to him..." His father paused. "We've already lost a daughter to the Empire. I don't want to lose my son."

"Then don't make him believe that you hate him," Ezra said.

"You said you're names were Ezra and Sabine?" Justin's mother asked.

"Yes ma'am," Sabine replied. Justin's father looked surprised.

"I'm sorry, young man did you say your name was Ezra?" he asked.

Ezra stared at him. "Yes sir."

"Take off your helmet, please." Ezra took off his helmet and Justin's parents gasped.

"Ezra Bridger?"

"I'm... I'm sorry have we met before?" he asked confused.

"No but I recognize your face," they said. "Granted you look much older than your wanted pictures."

"It's a good thing the Empire still used the older pictures. Easier for me to hide that way."

"We heard your message, as did Justin. Thank you for bringing him home," they said.

"It was a pleasure to meet you all," Sabine said.

Some stormtroopers turned a corner and saw the pair. Ezra still had his helmet off and the troopers recognized him.

"You there, HALT!" they yelled running towards them.

"Woah what is this?" Ezra asked.

"You're all under arrest, Rebel scum!"

Yes, I ended it here. Yes, I will have the next chapter up soon. Yes, eventually Justin and his family will join the Rebellion. No they never met before. At this moment nobody knows Ezra is a Jedi.

Any ideas for future chapters are welcome, just stay updated on the story beforehand.
