Gobi slowly blinked himself awake. He wasn't sure what had woken him up. It could have been a noise but he quickly ruled that out since Cham would be awake too if he'd heard something. Thinking of Cham, he looked down at the sleeping man within his arms. His orange face rested against his blue shoulder while his hands were pressed lightly against his chest. Honestly one of the most surprising things about being in a relationship with Cham was learning that he was a little spoon. Not that Gobi minded. He found it adorable.

Still, as much as he would have liked to stay there forever he couldn't ignore the feeling that something was off, so reluctantly he carefully untangled himself from Cham before getting out of bed. He then grabbed his blaster from his bedside table and quietly crept downstairs. His pulse quickened when he heard the sound of scuttling in the kitchen. His mind raced with explanations, from burglars, to The Empire, to Hera's homicidal astromech trying to poison them again.

Slowly, he tiptoed towards the doorway until his back was pressed against the wall beside it. He took a deep breath before jumping into the entrance, only to come face to face with a green skinned teenage girl.

"Hera?" Gobi gasped in a mixture of shock and confusion.

"Hello." Hera replied trying to be polite despite clearly being in shock herself.

At first Gobi thought that maybe she was trying to sneak out to some party. It wasn't as if he and Cham hadn't done the exact same thing in their youth. But, as his eyes adjusted to the darkness of the room he realised that she was wearing her pilot uniform and that she had two large bags with her. One was full of long life food like ration packs and her ever faithful astromech was by her side. He also noticed the apologetic look on her face.

"What are you doing?" He asked, not sure that he was going to like the answer.

Hera was silent for a moment, as though contemplating whether or not to lie to him. Eventually she sighed and looked him directly in the eye, apparently having decided to tell him the truth.

"I'm leaving." She told him, her voice sounding confident yet apologetic. "Father doesn't understand that we can't win this war alone. And even if we could, that doesn't mean we should condemn the rest of the galaxy to face The Empire alone! I have to help them. I have to go."

Gobi looked at the fiery passion burning in her eye that reminded him so much of Cham. She really was his daughter. There was nothing that would stop each of them from doing what they believed was right. It was just that their beliefs of what was right were the exact opposite.

There was no way that he was going to be able to stop her.

He sighed and pulled her into a hug. It made him happy when she didn't resist and rested her head against his chest like she had when she was little.

"Just promise me that you'll take care of yourself." He wasn't going to tell her to stay safe. There was no way that she would ever do that. But he hoped that she would at least think before diving into those inevitable situations.

As though knowing what he was thinking, Hera smiled ruefully up at him, apologising in advance for all the trouble she was going to get into.

"I will."

Smiling he let go of her before turning to face her astromech.

"And promise me you'll make sure she sticks to that promise."

The astromech replied in a gibberish of warbles that roughly translated to "Duh."

Chuckling, he turned his attention back to Hera, trying to commit her to memory, unsure of how long it would be until he would see her again. She had been like a daughter to him long before he started dating her father.

"Goodbye eoh uru." He told her.

"Goodbye Twiva."

Touched by the term, Gobi watched her leave.

He stayed there for a few moments, looking at the door where she had left, hoping that he had made the right choice.

Eventually, he decided to head back to bed, unsure of how he was going to explain this to Cham in the morning, when suddenly he turned a corner to find a gun pointed at his head.

"Kriffing hell Cham!" He cried at the orange skinned twi'lek, who quickly put his blaster away in shock.

"I'm so sorry!" Cham gasped. With his free hand he then gently cupped his face. "I woke up when I heard the door open and when I realised you and Hera weren't in bed I thought someone had taken you or-"

"I'm fine Cham." Gobi reassured him, taking his hand in his own. Cham seemed to calm down a bit at the touch but his panic still remained as he looked around.

"But where's Hera?"

Gobi looked away awkwardly, unsure of how to tell Cham what had happened.

"She…she left Cham. She left to join The Rebellion."

"Left?" Cham repeated in anger and worry. "She can't leave! It's not safe out there! I have to stop her! I'll impound her ship! I'll dismantle her astromech! I'll-"

"And have her hate you forever?" Gobi retorted before letting out a long sigh. "Cham, she's not a little girl anymore. She hasn't been for a long time. She's seventeen now, she's old enough to make her own decisions. You have to let her be her own person. You have to let her go."

Cham sighed, although it was more like a growl. He was clearly unhappy about it, but he knew that Gobi was right.

A very likable idea suddenly came into Gobi's head as he thought about ways to cheer him up.

"Hey, at least one positive is that we will always have the place to ourselves so we won't have to worry about any more embarrassing encounters."

He said, suggestively placing his hands on Cham's waist. Cham still wasn't entirely happy, but this had definitely caused him to see the situation in a new light if the small smirk growing on his face was anything to go by.

"I suppose that is one benefit." Cham replied, running hand along Gobi's lekku the way he liked it.

That night might not have ended exactly how Gobi had thought it would, but he certainly wasn't complaining.
