Sorry for the long wait but here is the chapter where we find out if Jacen is force sensitive
Hera looked down on her one year old son which was playing his toys a toy version of a TIE fighter. Jacen wore a warm coat so he did not get sick in this frozen ice base. The boy already showed sign on loving to fly like her and she was happy for it. Yet beside that the boy was already turning to a miniature version of his dead father. The way he looked at you like he knew things even though he could not speak he sometimes looked at you like he knew. It made her think of Kanan when he somehow knew things he should not know about and yet he did. Jacen squirrel in happiness as he made the TIE lift up in the air by using his tiny arm to lift it.
"I am glad you like it Jacen" Hera said and Jacen send her a smile with the forming teethes he had.
Even so Hera worried the harsh environment of Hoth was not a place for a child to grow up in. Even less a planet to be on when it housed a rebellion that was hunted wildly throughout the Galaxy especially after the success with destroyed the Death Star. Hera sighted she was a terrible mother what would Kanan not say if he knew that she raised there son in the middle of a rebellion and a galactic war? The thought of Kanan made her heart ache as it always did when she remembered Kanan. Even now that Kanan had been dead for almost two years her heart was still arching lovingly after him. Not a day went by without her thinking of him. A small knock was heard on the door and she looked up at it and tried to get her head back into work.
"Enter" she said.
Hera looked up and saw that it was the young man named Luke that had destroyed the Death Star. Panic filled her as she did not expect to see him. Hera knew that Luke was force sensitive and she did not want Jacen to be around him. Her biggest fear was that she would find out that Jacen was force sensitive like his father and she did not want it. What if he became a jedi and the force would take him from her like it had Kanan and Ezra?
"General Syndulla can I have a meeting with you now? I know you are busy but I want to have a talk with you. I have tried to meet you a few times but you are always so busy. Please I only have a few questions" Luke said.
"Luke oh please could you wait outside a little longer?" Hera said filled with panic.
The young man looked confused before he nodded and walked back outside. Hera looked at the closed door before she grabbed her comm.
"Zeb are you there? Please answer" Hera called into the comm.
"Hera what is wrong" Zeb replied full of worry hearing her freak this way. Jacen had also let go on his toy and looked at her clearly picking up on her panic.
"Luke want to meet could you take Jacen and keep him until it is over" Hera explained in a hurried voice.
There was silence on the line for a little while before the reply come.
"I will be there 'be there iin a minute" Zeb replied.
Hera was worried as she paced back and forward with Jacen looking worried at her. It did not take long for the tiny child to pick up on her worries and started to cry. Hera dived down and lifted him up.
"There there Jacen it's okay" Hera said as rocked him a little.
The small boy seemed to look at her with those eyes that reminded her about Kanan and Ezra. This only made hear heart beat painfully at the thought. Jacen started to cry again and Hera did not seem to be able to calm him down.
Suddenly the door was knocked. Hera, hoping that it wasn't Luke wanting to get in, called to the person outside to enter. To her relief it was Zeb walking in and looked at her and Jacen.
"Zeb thank good could you take Jacen until the meeting has ended" Hera asked.
Zeb stepped over and talk the crying Jacen who seemed to be more and mora panicked as Hera's level of panic went up.
"Hera I will take him but Hera you can't keep avoiding this forever. Sooner or later you will have to find out about Jacen if he is like … well you know like Kanan" Zeb said softly while holding on to Jacen that seemed to calm down a little.
"I know it is just. What if he is like … his father? Then the force will take him away from me. Like it did with Ezra and …. Kanan" Hera mumbled.
"I understand but keeping him locked up and away from Luke won't stop him from leaving forver. It would not have stopped Kanan or Ezra and you know it" Zeb said softly.
Hera groaned she knew he was right but what if her fears was right? That Jacen would be a jedi and the force would once again rub her of the person she loved the most.
"Hera please think about it while I take Jacen elsewhere" Zeb said and left.
Hera almost collapsed in the chair and it took a knock on the door before she remembered that Luke was waiting outside.
"General Syndulla can I come in now?" Luke's voice was heard outside the door.
"Yes please" Hera said tiredly.
A young man with brown hair came in and looked at her.
"I am sorry General Syndulla it is just … well … uhm" Luke said.
Hera tried to prepare knowing what the question was even before he had asked it.
"I heard you know a jedi" Luke said quietly and looked eager but also uncomfortable.
"I … I did know him. I assume you want to know about him" Hera said.
Luke looked so hopeful and nervous as he nodded that she knew she had to tell him something. Yet how? Her own heart felt like it had crawled down below the floor and the pain from the lose seemed to ripple in her. Hera opened her mouth to say something but suddenly heard her comm beep.
"Sorry just one minute" Hera said as she grabbed it but she knew that Luce would be able to sense her turmoil.
"Sorry Hera but Jacen is completely out of it. One minute he was fine and know he is crying" Zeb said.
"Jacen who is Jacen? Is that the Jedi? I sensed a person in the force while waiting outside. Can I meet him?" Luke said with happiness in his voice looking at her with exitment.
Hera upon hearing these words nearly collapsed onto her chair.
"Hera … Hera" the comm said.
"General Syndulla are you okay" Luke said.
"Jacen is my son. The jedi was Kanan Jarrus" Hera said in a sad low voice.
The sad expression and the low voice make Luke stop and watch. Look at the pain and sorrow on her face. Sensing the turmoil of guilt and pain.
"I am sorry General Syndulla" Luke said softly.
"It's not your fault it just …. I miss him Luke. I loved him so deeply and I never got around to tell him that before the force ripped him away from me" Hera blurted out even though she tried to hold it back.
Hera knew she should not tell but the pain in her mixed with the knowledge that Kanan's son was force sensitive as well made her unable to stop. Even so she managed to compose herself a little.
"I am sorry Luke. I can't talk about it for now. I might never be able to talk about it fully" Hera said as pain filled her face one more time.
"I … I understand General. I am sorry. I promise you not bother you again" Luke said.
"No Luke it's okay. I hope to one day tell you the story but not now. Right now my son needs me" Hera said.
Luke nodded and left the room but even after that she felt like all life had been ripped out of her. The comm beeped once again.
"Hera please come and help me out. Jacen keeps crying. Karabast kid please calm down" Zeb voice came out.
Hera grabbed her comm as she replied "I am on my way".
Hera tiredly raised from the chair to go and see Jacen but her heart ached all the way. Jacen was force sensitive and with that came the risk of him being a jedi meaning that the force would take Jacen from her. Why oh why did it have to be?
A/N There you go. Jacen is force sensitve and Hera is not happy about it.
