So if you haven't noticed I'm not updating as much but do not worry, I haven't forgotten about this story. I will finish it of course, I just have some uh.. Personal problems? Yeah, go with that. But anyway. Here's part 5, Enjoy!


I sat up more straight now "He called you.. What?"

"He call.."She slowly started to pull herself up, before falling back down onto her back. A hiss of pain escaped her lips "Ah.. My ankle." Her hand stretched down to grasp her leg the best she could. "W-what happened to me?"

"Calm down Hera," I got up and stood right at her bedside "We were out getting supplies and you got bit by a Crystal Snake and went unconscious for a few hours. Nothing horrible, except for the fact that you're not aloud to walk for the next 4-5 days."

She smiled, untensing a bit "Oh.. That's quite alright." With that she turned over on her side, laying her head softly onto the pillows resting beneath her. "Where's the others?"

I returned the smile "Don't worry, I'll send them in soon."

I turned around and was about to leave to let her rest when I felt a soft hand tugging at my sleeve. "Yes?" I glanced at the Twi'lek over my shoulder.

She had her eyes locked onto mine for a minute "Don't send them in soon.. Send them in now."

I was about to argue before I remembered that arguing with Hera was pointless. She is the most sweet, caring, beautiful girl I've ever met.. but she's also the most Infallible person I've met. "Alright. Just promise you wont get out of bed?"

"Dear, there's no need to baby me. I know the protocol."

I nodded, feeling slightly embarrassed about overreacting. Especially since I had been through the same experience as her, but I was still concerned. Her grip left my arm, allowing me to walk out of the room.

As I walked down the hallway, my facial expression turned to something that was a mix between worried and happy. I was overly happy that Hera was awake and ok now, however I was worried for Ezra. The kid called her.. mom? I'm not saying I'm surprised. Hera is most defidentally a motherly figure, but the kid is so stubborn I don't think he would have said it. Maybe he thought Hera that was still out cold.. I sure did.

Without needing to say anything, I entered the Cockpit. Spectre 4, 5, and 6 all jumped up. "Is everything ok?" Sabine asked

"Why wouldn't it be?" I said, slightly staring at Ezra.

Sabine ruffled her hair a little "You're sweating pinballs."

I hadn't noticed it until now. I ran my sleeve across my forehead, wiping off some of the sweat. It was most likely because I was thinking so hard about Ezra. I tend to perspire a lot when I am deep in thought, which is what had happened in the hallway.

"Oh... I hadn't noticed." I gave a crooked smile to the others, which calmed them a bit. "Sabine and Zeb, Hera wants to see you guys first," I lied "Ezra, we need to talk."

Sabine gave Ezra a 'Ohh-you're-in-trouble' glance as her and Zeb exited the room.

Ezra plopped into a seat, kneading his fingers together. "So, What do you want to talk about?"

I took a seat next to his "Ezra.. did you say something to Hera?"

His face became twisted as he broke eye contact and looked outside at Lothal. "Nope."

"Ezra.." I said sadly "You can talk to us."

He pulled his knee up to his chest and rested his chin on it. "Talk about what? I didn't say anything to her.."

I sighed "Mom.."

He froze completely, slowly turning towards me. His eyebrow shot up "Excuse me?"

"You called her mom Ezra."

He pushed his knee off of the chair now, "How.. Did you know that?"

My brows furrowed "Hera knew, you did call her that didn't you?"

After a long moment of dead silence Ezra grunted in defeat, swiveling his chair in the other direction "What's it to you?"

I got up, surprisingly without him realizing it, and began moving towards him. I placed a hand on one of his shoulders. "It'll just be between You, Me and Hera. Ok?"

He looked up at me, his eyes were full of tears that were yet to fall. "You don't mind that I called her my mom?"

"Ezra.. Of course not. Neither is Hera. Knowing her she probably thinks it's sweet."

He smiled a little, shaking his misty eyes away "Speaking of Hera, can I go see her now?"

I messed his hair a bit before happily stating "Of course you can."

And with little hesitation he got up and bolted out the door.
