Kanan's face turned red, "You're, you're, how, why," he began to scowl, "It is OUR baby right?"
Hera laughed a little, "Yes, it's ours, plus remember when the others were off at the academy and we decided to have a little 'fun'? Yeah… it broke and I never told you…"
Kanan stared into the distance. "I...I can't even…"
Hera flashed him a half smile, "Yeah, in my defense I didn't this would happen."
Kanan sat down and rested his head on one of his hands. "What are we going to do? We can't just pretend that this isn't happening."
Hera put her hand on Kanan's shoulder, "That's what we're going to have to do until it's necessary."
"How? You can't just hide the fact you're pregnant, it will get noticeable sooner or later."
"I know, we'll just have to think of something."
"We'll? Oh no, this is your problem."
Hera pulls her hand away from Kanan and scowls at him, "You're the father! It is OUR baby."
Kanan shook his head and looked at Hera, "Which means we have to do this together."
Hera smiled softly, "Exactly, you know I can't do this on my own, especially now, with the empire on our tail."
Kanan nodded at her, "Yeah, let's see, we just have to hide it for, what, eight months before it becomes necessary to tell them."
"Yeah, hide it as best as possible until the baby actually comes. There is no need to cause anymore stress or worry."
Kanan stood up and stretched, "I guess I should get back to training Ezra."
Hera nodded, "Yeah, also please try not to light anything on fire this time."
Kanan laugh a little, "I make no promises."
He walked off to find Ezra, smiling with the pride of knowing he would be a father.
One month later:
Things that happened in the past month, Fire across the galaxy, Ahsoka joins the rebels and Sabine re dyes her hair, because the hair thing is definitely important.
Hera woke up feeling sick again, she had only been pregnant for a little less than three months but it felt like forever in her mind. She had started gaining more weight than normal, not even to the close to the point where it looked more like a baby than fat but enough where it was semi-noticeable as fat. Hera sat up slowly rubbing her eyes, she got out of bed and got dressed slowly and walked out of her room tiredly. As usual she was the first one awake, even if she didn't want to be. Hera hoped Kanan would wake up soon so she could talk to him about the baby before the others woke up. Just as luck would have it Kanan came into the rec room, where Hera was sitting, and sat down next to her.
"So, how's it going?" He asked with a sleepy smile.
"It's going, slowly, but you know, we get something out of it, right?" she responded
Kanan put his arm around the half asleep Twi'lek, "Yep, so what the chances?"
"Chances? Oh, right, uh, there's a 73. something chance that it's a girl and a 26. something chance of it being a boy."
"Cool, so assuming it is a girl, what are your suggestions on her name?" Kanan asked allowing Hera to rest her head on his shoulder.
"I was thinking Cynda, you know, because that's how we met. If it's a boy then I was thinking we name him…"
"Gorse?"
"No, Juan."
"Why?" Kanan said with a chuckle.
"I like the name, what do you have for names?"Hera said cuddling up against Kanan.
Kanan wrapped his arms around Hera, "If it's a girl then I agree with you on Cynda, it's a very pretty name. So, if it's a boy I'd name him… Caleb."
"Why is that?"
"Personal reasons."
"Oh, okay, so when the baby does come, where is she… or he, going to sleep?" Hera asks.
Kanan thought for a minute, "You can move into my room and when the baby comes it will sleep with us."
"Okay, sounds good."
Ahsoka walked into the room, and stretched, "What are you two talking about?"
Kanan freezes, "Uh… we're talking about… sleeping and names."
Ahsoka shrugged, "Yea okay."
Just then Ezra rushed in, breathing heavily, "I've seen the future!"
Kanan looked at Ezra oddly, "You what?"
Ahsoka turned to watch Ezra as well.
"I saw it in a dream, I was eating some strange hot pink fruit and then a few days later, as in today, I ate hot pink fruit!" Ezra said in a panic.
"But, we don't have any fruit, it must've been the same dream twice." Hera said, still cuddled up against Kanan.
Just then Sabine came into the room laughing, "I was… in your room… whispering.. to you… eat the pink fruit."
Ezra sighed, "Why?"
Sabine shrugged then looked at Kanan and Hera, just then Sabine began throwing up on the floor. She wiped the barf from her mouth when she was finished and looked up. Hera rushed over to her to see if she was okay, Ezra just walked out of the room slowly, Kanan followed him. Ahsoka went to get something to clean up the mess, leaving only Sabine and Hera in the room alone. Sabine rolled onto her side moaning in pain. Hera attempted to help Sabine up and take her to Sabine's room, however they could only make it right in front of Sabine's door before she began throwing up again. Once Sabine stopped, Hera pulled her into the room and pulled out the extra bed to lay Sabine on. Hera placed Sabine carefully on the bed and sat beside her.
"You okay? Was it something you ate, or should I be worried?" Hera asked as calm as possible.
"Yeah… It was… probably Zeb's… soup." Sabine answered weakly.
Hera laughed a little, "You should know better than to eat his soup, that Lasat couldn't cook something that only required to be heated correctly.'
Sabine nodded a little and turned onto her side, "I'm tired."
Hera put her hand on Sabine, "I'll get you a blanket, do you want to try to change back into whatever it is you sleep in?"
"Yeah, my cloths are on the chair, can you get them for me?"
Hera grabbed Sabine's pajamas and placed them next to her, then left to get a blanket. On the way she saw Ashoka cleaning up Sabine's barf. Hera wanted to say thank you or something but it felt weird for some reason and she continued to find a blanket. Hera went into her room to grab one of her many extra blankets for Sabine, then went back to Sabines room, this time thanking Ahsoka for cleaning before she went in. Sabine had just finished changing into her red tank top and black sweatpants. Hera laid Sabine back down and pulled the blanket over her, she went to grab a towel just in case, if she were to throw up again she could throw up on the towel instead of the floor.
"If you need anything, just use the com, okay?" Hera said, walking to towards the door.
"Okay, thank you." Sabine said, closing her eyes and rolling back onto her side.
"No problem, sleep well."
Hera left the room and then tried to remember if she had to do anything. She decided to ask Kanan if she needed to do anything. Weird, normally he's asking me what he should be doing… Hera looked around for Kanan but couldn't find him on the ship, then she remembered he was on the roof training Ezra. Hera climbed up the ladder and onto the roof to see Ezra working on what she assumed was not cutting yourself while fighting the enemy.
"I get it, mess up and it's decapitation for days." Ezra said, clearly annoyed.
"Do it right or don't do it at all!" Kanan said back.
"DECAPITATION FOR DAYS!" Ezra said turning off his lightsaber, throwing it on the ground.
"What are you doing?" Kanan asked crossing his arms.
"Not doing it at all, I ain't got time for doe 'captation fo days' stuff" Ezra said putting on odd pixel sunglasses.
Kanan shook his head, "That's not what I meant." He turned around to see Hera sitting nearby.
"Hey, uh, sorry if I'm interrupting you two but I was wondering if there was anything I needed to do." Hera said loudly.
"I don't think so, you can watch us if you want." Kanan answered.
Hera stood up, "Okay."
"FO DAYS KANAN, FO DAYS!" Ezra yelled.
"Be quite, pick up your lightsaber and lets restart, okay?" Kanan said impatiently.
Ezra picked up his lightsaber and turned it on, "Kay bruh."
Kanan shook his head, "And take off those glasses."
"Nah bruh, these are my shades... bruh."
"Ezra!"
"Fine."
Ezra pulled off the sunglasses and began going over his forms, Kanan watched closely, commenting on how well he was learning. Zeb came up onto the roof and stood next to Hera. He tapped her shoulder and whispered, "I need to talk to you… alone…" Hera nodded and told Kanan and Ezra she'd be right back. She followed Zeb over to the cockpit looking to make sure that they were alone.
"What do you need to talk about?" Hera asked.
"Hera, you're fat." Zeb said quickly.
"I'm fat?"
"Yes, you keep on eating food and I heard problems were Twi'leks eat a lot of food under stress so my guess is that you under stress. Now, why are you under stress?"
"I'm not, I just get hungry sometimes."
"You were licking the plate last night, we didn't even use plates!"
"Yeah… look this will all make sense in a few months, okay."
"I want it to make sense now, I worry about you. Without you who's going to fly us, 'cause Kanan isn't as good as he thinks he is." Zeb said whispering.
"Uh… okay… I swear I'm fine, just please trust me, this will all make sense in a few months, Okay?"
"Okay."
