Kanan smiled brightly, "That would be great!"
Hera nodded, "Yeah, I can start packing."
"And I'll help." Kanan said standing up.
Kanan went to grab an empty crate to move Hera's things while she organized them. She didn't have much so it all fit in the one crate. Sure it was a little crowded but it still worked. Kanan insisted on bringing the crate to his room himself, Hera wasn't really in the mood to argue with him so she let him. Kanan eventually got the crate into his room and opened it, the two began organizing what went where until there was one thing left; a small worn out box. Kanan was about to grab it but Hera stopped him.
"What?" He asked moving his hands away from the box.
"It's special… not that I don't trust you it's just, I don't like people touching it." Hera said, picking up the box herself.
"Oh, what's in it?" Kanan said opening a small compartment underneath his bed that would fit the box perfectly.
Hera put the box in and allowed Kanan to close the compartment, "Old journals, an old toy or two, stuff like that."
Kanan smiled, happy that she at least shared what some of its contents were, "Oh, that's interesting, they must be pretty important if they made it this far."
Hera nodded and climbed onto Kanan's bed and lied down, "My back hurts."
"Want a massage?"
"No… I'm just gonna take a nap."
"Oh, okay."
"You should probably tell the others we share a room now, you know, just in case."
Kanan nodded, "Yeah, I'll get right on that."
Three and a half months later:
Everyone had gotten used to Kanan and Hera being "official" and sharing a room. Hera's pregnancy is quite apparent now, last month Kanan had an idea to make her actually look fat. Now the only one with suspicions to worry about is Ahsoka. Sabine has fully recovered and is just as lively as she was before the disease. The group left Lothal for two months but when they came back they learned that there was going to be some kind of project happening on Lothal. The group have organized a mission to find out what this "Project" is.
Kanan called everyone up to the ship's cockpit to explain the plan to everyone. Ahsoka was the first to arrive, as usual, next was Zeb, Sabine, Hera and finally Chopper and Ezra. Kanan told everyone to sit down, then got beeped at by Chopper. It took a while before he could actually begin.
"Okay, so as we know the Empire is planning something for Lothal, and due to the secrecy of it I assume it's something big." Kanan began. "I have come up with a plan, a plan that should allow us to find out what this project is, and how to stop it."
"Great, Kanan had a plan, and when he has a plan we know it will go well and won't end badly at all…" Sabine said sarcastically.
"A plan to find out what the Empire is planning and stop them? I thought we were going to blindly help them with their plan." Zeb said sarcastically as well.
Kanan rolled his eyes and continued, Chopper pulled up a hologram of the Imperial's main complex. "We'll split into two groups, Team A, lead by me, it will include, Hera, Sabine and Chopper. We will be the ones actually getting the information. Team B will be lead by Ahsoka, Zeb and Ezra, your job is to create a diversion big enough to allow us to get in and out easily."
Ezra crossed his arms, "Why did you split it up like that?"
"Because Team A tends to be better with technology, Team B is better at making really big distractions."
Zeb laughed, "That's what she said."
"Shut up." Hera snapped at Zeb.
Kanan rolled his eyes, "So are team assignments clear?"
"Clear." Everyone said, and Chopper beeped.
"Okay, so Team B will go in thru the back entrance and make as much alarming noise, explosions and unnecessary gun fire as possible. The next part is pretty simple, just defend long enough to allow Team A to get what is needed. We're going to steal a TIE and go in through the dock without raising alarm. Next we go thru the maintenance tunnels up to the main office. That's where Sabine will throw a few tranquilizer bombs in before we enter. There we will take the information and signal Team B to leave. We'll make our way back down to the TIE's and escape that way. Any questions?" Kanan explained.
"Can we bring space waffles?" Zeb asked
Kanan looked around, "If you really want to…"
"Yes, beat all the stormtroopers!" Zeb exclaimed.
"Yeah, any other questions?" Hera said impatiently.
"How are babies made?" Ezra said sarcastically.
"Well when a thing called a pe…" Kanan began but was cut off.
"No no! I was joking!"
"Good, now let's do this. Team B, get in the Phantom fly around the complex until I give the signal. Team A will steal a TIE and fly to complex. Ready… go!" Kanan finished.
Team B went up to the Phantom and detached, Hera started up the Ghost and began flying to the nearest place with TIE's, which was a docking station. She landed the ship about a half a mile away and the group began to head towards the TIEs. With extreme stealthiness the group got to a TIE. Sabine climbed in first, chopper next, that's when it all went down hill. A Stormtrooper noticed them and began shooting at them. "Sabine go! We'll get on another one!" Kanan yelled.
He grabbed Hera and began running to the next TIE while Sabine flew off with Chopper towards the complex. Kanan tried to fight off the Stormtroopers but it was pointless, by now there was way too many. Kanan pulled out his lightsaber and the fight got real. Hera pulled out her blaster and began shooting. Kanan was able to make a path to the nearest TIE and yelled "Run!" Hera began running towards the TIE but it was hard to run and be pregnant at the same time. She was just about to make when Agent Kallus came out of nowhere and shot her in the back of the leg. Hera fell down hard, yelping in pain, Kanan ran to her, using his lightsaber to deflect anything coming their way.
Kanan fought hard for the next five minutes but it was pointless, even being a Jedi he could never take on this many enemies. Kanan pulled Hera into his lap and called into his com, "Abandon the mission! I repeat Abandon the mission!" He wanted to say more but Agent Kallus took the comlink away before he could. Kanan put his hands in the air and put his head down in shame. Hera clinged to him tightly, "I'm scared." she whispered.
Agent Kallus put the two in handcuffs and they were taken to the Imperial ship they came on. Despite Hera's injury they still forced her to walk, which didn't surprise Kanan at all. Once the two were inside the ship an unusual looking droid came out. It's arms looked more like things you'd use to give a shot with than arms. Then Kanan understood exactly what it's true purpose was; to sedate him and Hera. Kanan tried to pull away but it was pointless. Once the needle reached him everything faded to black. Only a miracle could save him now.
