I did debate if I should make one about the liberation of the galaxy but I didn't really feel the inspiration as I want Hera and Jacen to be the focus of the stories, not just Hera. I might do it later if I feel the inspiration. I am sorry for the big time jump but I only write the stories I feel is important.
Hera landed the Ghost on Lothal with 4 year old Jacen sitting in the seat next to her in the co pilot seat. It was a month after the galaxy had been liberated and Azadi called her and offered her a job on Lothal. Hera was not sure she should take it but she did feel she should at least go to the job interview. It was a struggle for her because she wanted to be on Lothal to be closer to the place where she often was with Kanan but she also felt she should stay and help the new command who was trying to establish a new republic and recreating democratic institutions without falling into the same problems as last time it was around.
"Moma are you okay?" Jacen asked.
Hera smiled to her son and ruffled his hair which made him giggle.
"I am mommy just have a lot on her mind" Hera replied as they prepare for leaving to go see the apartment they would stay in while here and was hers if she took the job.
"Will aunt Bean visit us?" Jacen asked hopeful.
The small boy had really take a liking to Sabine and often asked when they could visit her.
"Perhaps. I can comm her and ask her if she got the time later on" Hera said.
"Yes thank you mama" Jacen said.
Hera ruffled his hair again which made him giggle once more.
"Now how about we take a look at the apartment that Azadi has offered we can be at?" Hera asked.
Jacen smiled and nodded before he slided down the seat and ran toward the other end of the Ghost. Hera followed after at a slower pace smiling at her sons entusiasme all though she was still not sure. For now she had to prepare for the interview.

It was evening and Hera was sitting in a chair reading for tomorrow while Jacen was sitting on the couch watching a program on holonet. This evening it was a human female and a male rodan that was sitting in a studio discussing things. Hera didn't pay attention she was busy reading some documents that told about the new job.
"Mama look" Jacen said.
"In a moment Jacen" Hera said deeply engrossed in the reading.
"Mama look" Jacen insisted.
"Not right now Jacen" Hera tried to dismiss so she could finish the work.
"Your on the holonet" Jacen said pointing his small hand on the screen.
"WHAT?" Hera almost shouted when she looked up.
The smile on Jacen's face washed up when he saw Hera was not glad for it. Hera looked at the confused and scared face of her son.
"Oh Jacen I am sorry I was just surprised. Don't worry honey. I love you and nothing will change that" Hera cuddled him.
Jacen nodded and looked happy again as he smiled for her.
"You better get ready for bed honey" Hera said.
Jacen nodded and left to prepare while Hera waited for him to call for her to tug him in. It took him 15 minutes before he was ready and she tugged him in. Hera brushed him over his hair and he smiled to him.
"Why did I scare you mama. They were just started talking about you?" Jacen asked confused.
Hera could feel her heart ache for how could she answer that? She wanted to tell him she overreacted and that she became surprised. Yet how do you explain a 4 year old she don't want to have him hearing what had happened to his father which would no doubt come up during the discussion? How do you explain she couldn't bare to talk about it yet? Hera knew she would have to speak to her son.
"Well sweety I was just surprised so that is why I shouted. I promise you I wasn't mad at you at all okay my sweet heart?" Hera said as she brushed Jacen over the hair.
"Okay mummy" Jacen said as he was about to fall asleep.
Hera waited until he feel asleep and then moved back to the room to see the last part of the report.
"Well according to unconfirmed rumors that she fell in love with a Jedi by the name of Kanan Jarrus and he died saving her before he died" the female reporter said.
"That sounds interesting but apparently not all. It is also said that she was pregnant and now has a son" the male reporter said.
Hera sunk down in the chair completely broken as the reporters continued to discuss her life. She felt it like all life drained for her as she remembered how it all happened and how Kanan looked at her. It had never occurred to her that she could be a topic of interest as the free press started to return to the Galaxy. Hera closed the tv and went to bed but all the way she was crying as she remembered how Kanan looked at her as he was consumed by flames.
A/N Well there you have it. Hera has become a topic of interest for the reporters and it won't be the only story about this plot line. I hope to update a little more regulair now but I won't promise you.
