They all raced through the hallways of the hospital until they reached the room where Ezra was, bursting through the door, nearly taking it off of its hinges from the speed and force they were going, as well as nearly falling over. Who could blame them though?? Ezra was finally awake!! Two chuckled could be heard - it was the injured boy and the nurse "your family??" the man asked earning a nod "yup". The nurse left after finishing the daily check up; the family all stared sat the boy who sent them a small smile; he pushed the tray full of untouched pancakes and orange juice away. "Hey guys" he greeted, pushing himself up to sit better which earned a painful hiss as he pressed his hand against his stitched and bandaged wound; they all sat somewhere around the boy. "How are you feeling Ez??" Sabine asked earning a slight shrug "hurts...but I'll live" Hera gently grasped onto the teen and held him close "we were so worried...but we're thankful you're finally awake" she stated, planting a sweet kiss to his forehead. To the families surprise, Ezra seemed confused by the statement "finally awake?! What do you mean?!" he asked, a small int of panic traced in his voice "how long have I been out of it?!" the three adults shared a look before Kenobi spoke "the nurses and doctors didn't tell you??" he asked but the kid shook his head. Anakin rubbed his friends arm in an attempt to comfort him, especially when he explained "Ez....you've been asleep for nearly three days now...we were so worried about you...worried that you wouldn't wake up at all". It was clear the youngest teen was surprised by the new information "well....I'm awake now....that's good I guess" why was there a large amount of doubt in his voice?! They each shared a worried and horrified look as Kanan carefully grasped the teens chin, forcing the boy to look at him "now you listen to me Ezra Bridger" he demanded "you are one of the most important people in our lives, we've been worried sick for the past few days, hoping and begging that you'll wake up and be okay" the confrontation surprised Ezra deeply, as well as clearly "once you're completely healed, we'll all take you home....as a family". The others agreed, making the kid send them a small smile as he fought off the tears that threatened to fall "thanks....for everything" his voice was so small that it was a wonder that any of them could hear what he was saying "for the saves, the clothes, the kind words....for all of it....I never imagined I'd be...be apart of a family again...or have somewhere to call...home". It was pointless by now; the tears began to run down the child's face. The words "family" and "home" sounded so foreign to Ezra and they could tell...but they were. That was until he met Kanan, Hera, Kenobi, Anakin, Zeb, Sabine and Ahsoka but what surprised him most of all was:

1. They all cared and loved him.
2. None of them wanted to get rid of him.
3. And he actual cared, loved and trusted all of them back.

Everyone in the room smiled and shared a large hug with one another until five minutes passed "I love you guys but I also love breathing" they all laughed but parted, able to tell that he wasn't completely joking. Hera then noticed the untouched pancakes "aren't you hungry Ezra??" she asked earning a shrug "I am....but it hurts a lot to lift my arms that high to grab the fork" they all sat back as the woman grabbed the fork, cut off some of the food and held it up towards the boys mouth. Ezra raised a brow at the action "I'm not a baby Hera" he reminded but the kind woman shook her head "I know that but you need to eat" she stated "let me help you" and with that, Hera fed the boy his breakfast. It wasn't half bad to say hospital food don't have a good reputation.

Three Days Later.....
Finally!! The day had arrived!! Today was the day Ezra Bridger was finally allowed to go home!! He was dressed, packed and as ready as ever. Kanan sat with the boy as his wife sighed the release forms; the rest of the family were waiting back at the house. "You're eager to go, why's that??" Kanan asked with a smirk, showing his clear amusement - the kid was bobbing his knee up and down, playing with his hands and shooting a look over at the hung up clock every ten seconds. Ezra looked at the man as he explained "well....I have a home and a family to go back to this time" the man smiled as he wrapped an arm around the teens shoulders. Hera finally returned and informed them that they could leave - no one needed to be told twice!! They left the building and jumped into the car before driving off; Ezra couldn't wait to get home. He was so excited to see the others. They had all visited each day, keeping him company and bringing some things with them so that he wouldn't be bored. He was grateful for everything. The four teens even treated him like a little brother - Sabine and Ahsoka had also made a comment about how they were happy that they weren't the youngest anymore. Yeah, all was great!!
