The crew were fighting back against the Inquisitor when he yelled with a snarl, "This will set you back, Rebels" and brought out a blow dart. He blew into it and they all watched it soar through the air, landing on the least expecting target.
Ezra was defending himself against a Storm trooper when he felt a prick. Suddenly feeling sleepy, his eyes rolled back and he fell into a heap on the floor. The crew shouted his name with no answer and covered Zeb has he grabbed him from the floor and all ran back to the Ghost. Hera in the cockpit, took off and entered hyperspace at record time.
Entering the loading bay, she spotted the sweating teen hanging limply in Zeb's arms. She nodded and said "Bring him to the Med Bay, we'll see how he is tomorrow." They nodded and brought Ezra to the Bay. Leaving him tucked in secure, they left not knowing what was happening to the teen.

The tense crew woke up early to go check how the member was. Walking in they looked at the center bed where they placed him to come up with only a pile of clothes. Zeb grumbled and whispered, "The Kid better not be runnin' around naked."

They looked everywhere, but when Hera went to collect his clothes, she didn't expect to see a little tuff of blue hair. Curiosity taking over, she waved them over and showed them what she found. Gently pulling down the clothes, they gasped in surprise, not expecting it.

A very small baby with a full head a blueberry hair and long eyelashes that reached his cheeks. They crowded and stared at the sleeping baby, not wanting to wake him.
Hera smiled with her maternal instincts taking over, and caressed the little baby's cheek making him lean in. "I think we found Ezra." She whispered.
Hearing voices, Ezra stirred and fluttered his eyes open. They all smiled at the color and Ezra smiled back his gummy one. They chuckled and watched as Hera carefully collected the clothes and picked up the baby. She held him in her arms and he cooed at her. Zeb's eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "I'll be right back." He walked out leaving a confused crew and a happy baby.

Coming back a few minutes later, Zeb walked in with a bright blue blanket and Lothcat plushy. He held out his hands and Hera smiled and passed him over. Zeb placed him on the squishy bed and laid out the blanket. He walked away and opened a bottom cabinet, pulling out a diaper. "Knew it" He said and quickly put the diaper on the baby. He gently placed the infant on the silky soft blanket, he wrapped him tightly and made sure it was secure to not unfold.
He picked him up again and held him against his chest, seeing his eyes dropping. He looked up for the first time and saw the smirking crew. Ignoring them, he said in a rough voice, "Y'all better hit the market. The kid is way to light." And to prove his point he held the now sleeping infant in one hand. They all now saw how tiny and petite he was. Hera nodded and said "I landed us on Lothal last night so y'all can go and get the supplies. Zeb and I will make a list." They all nodded and Zeb passed the baby to Kanan, who unexpectedly smiled. Zeb smirked, "You can take care of him since he's your Padawan." Kanan looked up and nodded, once again serious. They all left the Med Bay and went to the Living Room to talk.

They all sat down, Kanan declined for Ezra, and talked about essentials.
"Ok we need formula and bottle for food, a crib, baby power, wipes, pacifiers, and blocks. Anything else?" They all looked to Zeb in shock. Hera smiled already knowing how he knew that. Sabine sputtered, "How do you know that?" Zeb realized what he just did and rubbed the back of his neck, "Um I sometimes took care of the Kits on Lasan." They saddened at the mention of his planet and nodded.

They talked for ten minutes, deciding on what to do. They all decided to go, including baby Ezra. Hera found a long piece of cloth and they all voted on Kanan wearing the wrap. He sighed giving in, removed his shoulder armor and let Hera around it around Kanan's torso and shoulders, making a perfect sling for the infant to lay in.

They all chuckled at Kanan and Hera gently placed the still wrapped Ezra in, making sure to not disturb his peaceful sleeping. Kanan readjusted Ezra's position and the baby curled up on the warm chest, balling up his hands in his shirt. They all smiled at the father/son moment.

They left to the market walking because Hera didn't land to far away. The each split up with Sabine and Zeb and Hera and Kanan.

Hera and Kanan made their way through the calm streets and stopped at one of the stands which has pacifiers, formulas, bottles, and baby powder. They gathered the items they needed in their basket and walked up to the young female human running the stand. She smiled as she saw them come up to her. "New parents?" She asked as she counted up how much. They both smiled and nodded, thinking the same thing. The girl looked at the pouch on Kanan and saw a tuff of blue hair sticking out. Hera and Kanan saw her eyes widen and said as she looked surprised, "Does he have blue hair?" They nodded slowly, cautiously. The girl said quickly, "Then you need to leave! Anyone born with blue hair is being hunted! I'm surprised he's still alive!" They looked towards each other surprised and nodded. Hera quickly passed her 20 credits and they left in a hurry. While they were running, Hera pulled at her comm and said breathlessly, "Meets us back on the Ghost. We'll tell you why later." And hung up. Kanan felt Ezra gripped his shirt tighter and he wrapped his arms protectively around him.

Making it back to the Ghost, they sat at the kitchen table while Hera took the wrap off from around Ezra. The infant looked up at them from the chest and little tears leaked out. Hera smiled and wiped his tears. Getting up, she went and made a formula milk in the cutest bottle they got.
She grabbed Ezra from Kanan who slightly pouted, and fed the hungry baby. Gladly sucking on his bottle, he didn't see the other people walk in.

Zen and Sabine placed their basket next to Kanan's on the table and sat down. Zen looked at Hera then the still wrapped Ezra and then Hera, "Ok so why did we come back?" Hera sighed and said "We were talking to the girl at a stand and she saw Ezra's blue hair. Apparently, blue haired people are being hunted so we ran back here but enough about that, what did you get?"
Sabine pulled her basket and laid out the items of wipes, blocks, and surprisingly clothes. Zen then pointed to a thin box by the door which had a picture of a crib on the side.

Hera nodded and said, "We got a bottle, pacifiers, and baby powder."
She looked down and noticed he had an empty bottle. She took it out and put him on her shoulder, burping him.

Zeb said suddenly, "Hey Hera, make sure you watch how much he eats. Those clothes are for preemie babies." Hera looked at him with wide eyes and nodded. She stood up and gave a surprised Sabine the baby. "I need you to play with him while we set up the crib." She nodded and grabbed the pacifiers and blocks and surprisingly the striped outfit and went to the cockpit where it would be silent.

She laid out the blanket and sat with the dressed Ezra on her crossed legs. He leaned back into her, sucking on his navy blue pacifier. She handed him blocks and watched as he squealed when he dropped them.
She played with him for an hour, playing peek-a-boo and stacking blocks with Ezra knocking them down. The now droopy eyed Kid laid in her arms, fighting sleep. She stood up with him in arms, and placed the blocks on her chair for later. Picking up the blanket and hoping the crib is done, she walked to Kanan and Hera's shared room.
Walking in, she saw the crib done and them picking up the trash. She walked over to the crib and put him down gently on his back. But before she placed the blanket, Ezra rolled over into his stomach with his arms out. She smirked as she laid down the blanket over him.
They all walked out to leave the baby alone and get ready for bed themselves. Hera and Kanan went back to their room after saying Goodnight to everyone. They silently changed and slipped into bed, having one last goodnight kiss.

Both Kanan and Hera woke up to the sound of crying and got out of bed quickly. Hera rushed to Ezra's crib and Kanan looked at the clock. '7:04' he sighed and ran a hand over his face. He tied his hair back and they all went to the kitchen where Hera first made formula to stop the baby from crying anymore. Kanan gladly fed Ezra and was overjoyed when a steaming hot mug of coffee was placed in front of him.
Only after Ezra was fed and burped and both of them had their cups of coffee, did the others decide to come in for breakfast. Ezra quietly sat in Kanan's lap quietly while sucking on his pacifier which surprised The crew beyond the outer rim. After Kanan was done, he stood up with Ezra in arms and said "Ezra needs a bath. Hera can you please call Ahsoka? We need to get Ezra a check up as well." They all nodded at their orders and Kanan walked out with a happy Ezra.

Kanan filled up the sink in the fresher with Luke warm water. He held a diapered Ezra and smiled when he realized Ezra was already looking at him. He babbled at Kanan which made him chuckle in amusement. Kanan placed Ezra on the counter, quickly stripping him of his diaper and put him in the water. Ezra blinked then smiled with his gums up at him.
Kanan sighed in relief, not wanting to deal with a fussy baby and wet clothes. He grabbed a cup from under the sink and started wetting Ezra's hair. Ezra leaned into the touch and slowly his eyes started drooping again. Kanan realized and smirked, 'You must really like this'.
After his hair was wet as well as his entire body, he was completely asleep. Kanan gently washed his soft long hair and rubbed it in slowly.
After his hair, he put some soap on a rag and rubbed it gently on his delicate skin.
Rinsing him off, Kanan realized how calm he was with the situation.
'How am I not freaking out? My Padawan is a baby. I do love him like a son but Jedi can not have relationships but maybe just maybe I could have one with him now. He most likely will't remember it anyway and the Order has fallen. So maybe just maybe I could...'

Kanan took him out of the sink and dried him off with the fluffiest towel they have and dressed him in his other onesie with socks and brand new diaper. He then swaddled him in his blanket, making sure it was tight. Picking him up, he cradled him against him chest and looked down in awe at the baby in his arms. Deciding he was taking to long, he went to the cockpit to show Hera his good work.
He walked into the cockpit and immediately saw Ahsoka on hologram. He then looked at Hera who smiled at him and the sleeping Padawan. Ahsoka said "Ok I believe you Hera. You may bring him to the Fleet for a checkup. Ahsoka sighing out." And just like that, she was gone. Kanan then sat down in the co pilot chair and sighed. Hera turned to him, "How was his bath?" Kanan smiled and looked at her, "He enjoyed so much he fell asleep." Hera chuckled and caught movement on the corner of her eye.
Looking at the baby in Kanan's arms, she watched as he stretched his tiny, prune hands out of the blanket and yawned a big as he could. After he was done stretching, he fluttered open his eyes and babbled once he caught sight of Hera. She smiled and took him from his arms. Thinking about what will happen when they reach the Fleet.
