Well, finally some mother son fluff for ya! This was requested by...a lot of people.

Summary: After Hera catches Ezra hugging his pillow at night, she gets him something to help him sleep comfortably.

Hera made it a habit to check on Ezra and Kanan every night.

Ezra was getting better, but he more often than not woke up in the middle of the night. He wasn't screaming as much and he went back to sleep after he calmed himself, but not before the distress woke Kanan. Pretty soon, it became apparent that Zeb was going to have his cabin back to himself indefinitely.

For the last few months, she found Ezra hugging his pillow like a child would a stuffed toy. While the beds were soft, they weren't that soft. While Ezra didn't complain, she could only imagine how uncomfortable it was to sleep like that. When this crossed the Twi'lek's mind on a supply run on a trading station, she decided to do something about it.

When she reached the general store to get basic supplies, she looked around. After grabbing boxes of food, drinks, tools, and other basic supplies, she went to go check out.

That's when Hera saw it. On the wall behind the counter, she saw a stuffed Loth-cat.

She turned to the cashier, an older woman with salt and pepper hair and grey eyes. "That an import?"

The woman nodded. "We've had it for a while," she said. "Since those rebels left Lothal and the planet was put under lockdown, everyone's been afraid to buy Lothan imports. They're worried the Empire will not react well. I'm impressed you've identified it. You're from Lothal?"

"No," Hera replied. "But my son is. How much is the cat?"

The woman smiled and got it down from the shelf. "You keep it. It's yours."

Hera was in shock for a moment, before she smiled gratefully.

"Thank you."

It was late by the time Hera returned. In a moment of absolute giddiness, she had bought a blue ribbon to tie around the stuffed cat's neck. Dinner was late that night, and after an amazing casserole made by Sabine, Ezra went to bed. Before he did so, Hera grabbed the toy and went to her cabin.

Ezra was getting ready to climb to his bed when he heard a knock on the door.

"Yeah?"

The door opened and Hera walked into the room with an excited smile on her face. Ezra gave Hera a confused look. Never in his life had he seen Hera that excited. She carried a brown paper sack in her arms and handed it to Ezra. "Open it," she said.

Ezra sat down on Kanan's bed and opened the back. When he pulled out the stuffed cat, his face morphed into shock.

Hera felt a pang of nervousness. Did Ezra not like it?

"Y-you got this?" Ezra asked. "You got this...for me?"

Hera nodded. "Do you like it?"

Ezra looked at Hera before putting the bag aside. Not putting the cat down, Ezra stood and threw his arms around Hera. "I love it," Ezra said with a smile. "Thank you so much!"

Hera felt her eyes burn as she returned the hug. "You're welcome Ezra."

They stayed in that hug for a while before Hera reluctantly pulled away. "Get some sleep, okay?"

Ezra nodded. "Good night, Hera."

"Good night, Ezra."

She watched as Ezra climbed into bed, clutching the cat close. He was asleep within minutes, and with a smile, Hera pulled the covers over him, turned out the light, and left without another word.

When she stepped into the hall, she nearly crashed into Kanan. "Oh, hey," Kanan greeted. "What was in that bag that you were so excited about?"

"A stuffed toy for Ezra."

Kanan seemed a bit baffed for a moment. "Isn't he a bit old?"

"Considering the fact that he told me he loved it, hugged me, and proceeded to hold it when he went to bed, I say no."

Kanan laughed quietly as he left the room, pecking her on the cheek. "If you say so. Night Hera."

Hera smiled, feeling happy that Ezra liked the gift.

Ezra's reaction would be a memory she would cherish forever.

I know a lot of people have given Ezra a stuffed cat but I wanted to do my take on it. Let's face it: Ezra with a stuffed cat is flipping adorable.
