HI! I'm back and I checked out the reviews and stuff! I'm very happy with how many people who like it! And don't worry, Chiibe, there will be a few sprained body parts here and there. Anyways, on with the story! :3

Enjoy!


"Cowboy is my foster father?" He mumbled quietly, eyes wide as he stared at the man before him.

Cowboy was more or less looking like he actually does his job. And he looks like he doesn't take patience very well. Ezra could see that he was just as surprised as Ezra was, but he covered it with cockiness.

He could see the man word 'Cowboy?' quietly and Ahsoka just giggled softly.

Cowboy nodded, "Yes, I am. And uh, my name is Kanan…" He mumbled the last part quietly. Ahsoka gave an encouraging push, "Go on, my part is done. It's your turn now."

Ezra hesitated, before taking small footsteps towards Cowb-Kanan. He looked down at his feet for a few moments before looking up at the warm smile Kanan gave him. "Come on, kid."

"It's time to go home."

Home…?


Kanan found the kids' eerie silence slightly uncomfortable with how he acted before. He was so angry, and really cocky. But now, as Kanan looked at him as they stopped at a light, he could see the more fragile and fearful side of the teen. He was curled up in his seat, staring out at the window as he gripped the seat belt like the world was ending. He noticed how pale he was and Kanan twitched slightly.

No child should be like this

Kanan stepped on the gas lightly as he looked away from the boy. Paying attention to the road in front of him.

"What's it like?"

Kanan jumped for a moment and looked to the boy. "What?"

"What's it like… Having a family?" He asked softly, slowly turning but staying curled into a ball.

Kanan was startled, he'd never heard this question before… And it bothered him greatly. He didn't know how to answer the question. And it disturbed him that the kid didn't know what it was like. He waited several moments before answering slowly, "Family, are the people who care for, and look out for you... " He paused, he looked at the boys' wide, bright and wondrous eyes. "You'll find out," He put a hand on his shoulder as he parked the car in the driveway, turning the ignition off and stepping out of the car.

"Hera! We're home." He called into the quiet house. He heard multiple footsteps, "Who's we?" Sabine blurted suddenly before stopping as she sighted the kid practically hiding behind Kanan. Zeb crossed his arms before raising an eyebrow. "So th' kid is back? What're we throwin' him to the bushes?" He gave a hearty laugh before straightening as Sabine punched his arm, hard. "What's his name?" Hera asked suddenly, Kanan turned to the kid and took his forearm gently, pushing him so the group could get a better look.

He felt the kid's shoulders spike up as if he were being displayed.

"I-I'm Ezra-" He mumbled, scratching at his left arm. Kanan smiled at the b-Ezra's sudden shyness.


Later at dinner that night Kanan noticed how Ezra poked around his food, he'd expected a small boy like him to wolf it down in an instant and ask for seconds, but he figured some people weren't like that. "Something wrong Ezra?" Hera asked softly, Ezra straightened quickly and shook his head frantically, "No! N-no- I'm fine… Just… not hungry." He murmured. He pushed from the table and stood, walking out of the room in a hurry.

Earlier, after the teen cleaned up from… Years of grime, and changed into fresh clothes. Hera turned to Kanan. "Talk to him," She gestured with her fork. He nodded and stood as well. Walking out and following the echo of footsteps.

He was led out onto the front steps of the door.

"Ezra?" He put a hand on his shoulder. The teen turned his head, shrinking farther into the borrowed black hoodie. "I just want to talk."

"Look I know you don't trust me, and, well, I don't blame you. I don't know how it feels to be apart of a new family… Only once. But I do know you can trust us, Ezra. I might've only met you today but I know, no, I feel you're something special." He smiled, wrapping an arm around his painfully thin shoulders, pretending not to feel the flinch that came after it.

This was the beginning of something extrodinary.
